til the fine il paid.
WALTER BARDGETT. Referee"
This decision will certainly work to
the credit of the bicycle game, which
has suffered so long and terribly from
%teaning, the very thing Bardgett and
tho track owners have set out to kill.
The Philadelphia Hibernians, who
will battle with the Howard & Bull
loughs in the American cup final at
Morris Park Sunday, defeated the Fall
River Rovers in an exhibition contest
at Philadelphia yesterday morning by
a score of 3 goals to 0. The Rovers
did not compete for the American
trophy this ear, bun established a fine
record in exhibition contests.
Whatever else may be said of the
action of the Cleveland baseball play
ers who refused to play yesterdays
scheduled game at Detroit because
. their fellow-player, Addie Joss. was be-
ind laid at rest in Toledo, it cannot be
denied that the players had more heart
tha the club owners and they should
not be censured for what they did. It's
safe to say they won't be.
Jimmy De Forest sent word to the
writer today that he had two matches
on for Pal Moore in the heal future.
owen Moran is one of Pals opponents.
and Billy Wagner, of Chicago. Jimmy
did not say anything about the Moran
fight as to where it would take place
and when, but the Wagner bout will

Tommy Murphy's position in the
pugilistic Ornament will be firmly set
tonight after his bout with Packey Nc
1earland. From this distance it looks

but he won't meet Jack Goodman's

Manager Boyd Howarth. Of the South
Orange F. c., who is arranging a sched-
ule that is attracting a great deal ct
!, attention. said yesterday that the jap
anese team, expected to arrive in New
York today, would probably be his
teams opponents either Saturday or
Monday mex
When that South Orange club gets
going there will be a fine string of VIC
tories on Howarth's card.
1t seems the longer Battling Hurley
fights the stronger get his arms and
therefore his punch. That was evident
in his bout with Benny Franklin at the
Olympic Club in New York last night.
Franklin would have been out in a few
more rounds.
To the Sporting Editor of the Evening Star;
If you will kindly allow me space in
your valuable sporting sheet l will en-
deavor to convince Mr.. swiss n all
SWITCHBOARD followers why Joseph Post
will not play him a homeland home
shuttle game.
MT. oWlSS iSSueu a CudiienSS tnTOuSl
a local newspaper to play Post a home
and-home game and stated that the
excuse ! gave for not accepting his
challenge was that flair DEAF gag.
Now Mr.. Swiss saw the first and last
half of the Post and AMeKenna match
and also saw how Post was misused by
McKenna and his followers at the Sec
ond half of the match on the board Of
the G01fzeiiar ACgnriqfinn (aIE0 Mr.
SWISS home board).
When Post was in the act of de-
l~ivering a disc, tobacco and tan bark
were thrown on the table n While
walking from one end of the board to
the other he vas tripped on several
occasions, for which I repeatedly re-
quested Mr.. Swiss, the referee of the
evening, to see that Post be treated a
little fairer, but / was ignored by the
crowd as well as the referee. but with
these odds Post was the victor.
Mr.. Swiss also stated that the Cunan
Association was accusing the Conboy
Association of giving Post an unfair
deal. This is untrue. as Mr.. Conboy
was not the standard bearer at the
time OF said match.
I will leave 1t to the readers of this
article IL Post got a fair deal" and
for such reasons Post will not play
Swiss a home-and-home match. I still
claim Post the individual champion
shuffier of this city. Yours respect
fully, JAMES CURRAN; JR.
