In q small club there's an excuse for
failure of the preliminary fighters to put
in an appearance. There was no excuse
as we could see and no explanation
offered for the absence of Irish Paddy
AMI Battling Larry Ryan, who were ad-
vertised to appear at the Vendome Club
last night. These boys are well-known
preliminary and semi final boys In New
York, and those who attended the show
were anxious to see them. The man.
agement will have to come across with
more money for the preliminary bouts.
If Ben Douglass, local boy, was
offered $25 for a semi-f1nal, we have an
idea what this highpriced club must
offer out-of- town preliminary fighters.
The management mustn't forget that
some of the money they take in must
be distributed among the preliminary
fighters.
When the promoters pay good price
for the main bout. that doesn't say. u
they are running the club for the sake
of good sport, that nothing or next to
nothing" should be spent for the pre-
liminaries.

Jacks failure to get on with Jem Dris-
coll last night at the Fairmont and his
later refusal to meet Joe Bedell on the
ground that there wouldn't be money
enough in 1t for him with such man,
leaves him without a present match. 1t
is certain that the New York boy can
have a match with frankie Smith, but
Jack is after Tommy Murphy. The for
mer's weight stipulations can be met by
Jack, SO Tommy has little chance to
crawl out of match now. Goodman
was in superb condition and nearly at
weight at the time the bout was de-
clared off.
Danny said that he spent an hour
with Jem Driscoll yesterday, and that
his sympathies surely went out to him.
Jem had just received the word of the
definite postponement of his bout with
blue. Danny declared that Jem lost at
least $4,000 by his untoward Hines, and
was really and truly sick man.
"There was q swamp near where Jem
was working out for the Pal Moore
bout" said Danny, and Jem got the
malaria from that.
Jem is not in any kind of shape at all
and it's a wonder how he ever went
through the fight with Pal Moore. ac-
cording to Danny. "It's too bad that
Jack and I couldn't meet" said Jem to
Danny. Jack is a great boy, believe,
and have been told, and we would have
made q great fight, no doubt. Better
luck next time," concluded poor Jem,
with a weak smile, as he pictured all
his purses going up into smoke.

The Repulse of Government
Forces Due to Unerring
Workmanship of
Americans.
TWO HUNDRED ARE
KILLED IN FIGHT
Insurgents Likely to Lose
Advantage on Account
of Dilatory Tactics

Bluefelds, May 26.-By the uner.
ring craftsmanship OF the American
gunners the government army has
been repulsed in it's attack on this
city and the custom house has been
recaptured by forces of the provision
al government. Two hundred have
been killed in fighting and more than
400 wounded.
Madriz's forces are falling back
but the insurgent army is likely to
lose the advantage it has gained in
the repulse, because it is apparently
demoralized.
The government forces are too
slow following up their victory of
yesterday. Dilatoriness gave the
Americans in the insurgent ranks
time TO rally the Estrada leaders and
repulse was begun.

INTERNATIONAL
COMPLICATION
American Schooner Search
ed by Madriz Gunboat
Venus of Nicaragua

Washington, May 26.-The State
Department was advised today that
the American schooner Elfuerzo of
Nicaraguan register and fying the
Nicaraguan flag was searched by the
Madriz gunboat Venus. The fact that
the Elfuerzo was not flying the Amer
lean dag gives Il different aspect to
the situation than that created by
the morning press dispatches.
The situation is complicated how
ever by the fact that the United
States does not recognize the Madriz
faction. which is operating the Venus
as the constitutional government of
Nicaragua.
That some action concerning the
possible feature acts of the Venus will
be taken by United States seems GER
tain. though the department officials
are not talking.
