POPULAR DECISION
AGAINST WOLGAST
Brown Forces Fighting and
Gave More Punishment
Than He Received.

New York, n Y. March Valentine
(Knockout) Brown, the New York
lightweight, gained a popular decision
over Ad Wolgast. The worlds light
weight champion in a slashing 10 round
bout last night at the National Sport
ing club of sAmerica. Three weeks ago
Brown fought Wolgast at Philadelphia
and the crowd OF 5000 which saw him
fight last night voted him a victory,
although the law requires that no de-
cision be rendered.
Brown forced the fighting from the
start and on the whole gave more pun
ishment than he received. In the clinch-
es Wolgast showed. superior general
ship with his infighting. His tactics
were so rough however. that they
brought Kisses from the spectators.
Neither man was in distress at any time
during the bout and no blood was
drawn.
In the last round Brown was backing
toward the ropes as Wolgast rushed
him They clinched and rolled through
the ropes together and Brown would
have fallen from the ring had not a
cluster of hands showed him back.

When Vice President Sherman
Was the On1y Paid Spectator
Attended Ball Game Washington Fight as Game
By Hardie Richardson.

James S. Sherman, vice president of
the United States, is one of the most
enthusiastic fans in the country. 1
remember one game in which I played
when he was the total paid attendance.
That was in Washington in 1889, and
a couple of pretty fair clubs were
opposed. There were few other peo-
pie in the stands besides Mr.. Sherman.
But he was the only one who paid to
see the comedy. And comedy it was
indeed.
After the championship that season
manager Hart took the Boston team
to Washington for a series of games
during carnival week" 1t was a
frost, the worst of baseball history. No
more than 100 turned out to see the
first game. Mr.. Sherman alone paid
to see the second. During this second
engagement Kelly called for time in
the sixth inning. Walking over to
right field he engaged in a wrestling
match as catch as catch can with
Beecher. The two wrestled for 20
minutes without a fall. when the UNI
pire called the match and the game at
the same time.
Then Hart Goes West.
Finding that the east had had all
the baseball 1t desired, Hart arranged
a trip to California He secured the
st. Louis Browns as foes for the Bos-
tons, and as far as Colorado the cubs
engaged in an exhibition tour. Among
the Colorado towns visited were Dem
yer, Colorado Springs, and Pueblo. At
Pueblo the clubs separated, Boston
journeyed to San Francisco by way
of Salt Lake; the Browns took rhe
southern route. We played a series
IN San Francisco and broke about even
in the matter of victories and expenses
With st. Louis was q man named

Jack Crooks. who, when not pitching
played second base. He was the first
man l ever saw play that position with
glove. He pointed out to ne rho
advantage of glove and reouesteo
me to try it. After playing a couple
of innings with the glove maze a
hard stop with my bare han6 ana threw
the batter out at first After the inn
ing Crooks asked me how I liked the
glove.
Great" said I, "and If it hadn't been
O'Neil."
With that he said, "wen, you VIII
never stop any more hard hits with
my glove" And I never did. for he
kept 1t in his pocket when not using
1t himself. Crooks always maintained
that my use of his glove was the cause
OF st. Louis defeat that day.
Boston's Triple Play.
During one of the games IN San
Francisco, Boston made a sensational
triple play. Indeed. we could nave
made quadruple play had that been
possible There was plenty OF oppor-
tunity to retire three base runners as
well as a batter. Redpourne was
pitching for us. For the Browns
Latham was on third, Crooks on sec
end and Charley Comiskey on first
O'Nel was at bat. O'Neil drove a
fierce liner, which <Redbourne mIracu-
lously clutched when he instinctively
threw up his hand to protect his face
No one but Rerbourne and O'Neil knew
what had become of the ball. The
three base runners took It for granted
that 1t was safe hit and started
around like mad. despite O'NeiPs cries
Redoourne had TO tell Nash to get on
his base before doubling I'D Latham

This trip to the coast did no harm
to any of the players The following
season every one played as well as at
any time in his life. Boston won the
pennant In the Players league in 1890
against big odds. One Of our oppo-
nents was the All+Star club of Chi
cago. This was one OF the finest ag-
gregations ever collected. "O1d Roman"
Comiskey played first base and in his
day he had no superior. But for some
reason team work was lacking in the
Chicago ranks and without team work
no club can win a pennant-

Wadleigh's victims were Willis
Bales and his wife, old settlers OF this
part Of the state, who had known
Wadleigh and been his friends 80
years. Bales and his wife and Wad.
leigh lived on adjoining farms, their
houses being only a few rods apart.
Wadleigh rode to the front gate at the
Bales home and called Mr.. Bales. The
latter, suspecting nothing, stepped
from the house and down the walk
to where Wadlelgh was sitting ON his
horse.
When Mr. Bales was close to the
gate Wadlelgh raised q shotgun and

Mrs. Bales heard the report Of the
gun and hurried to the door. She met

WAS IT PETER CLARK?
P. J. McCulIey Thinks Him Old Boy
hood Friend.

P. J. McCulley, a carpenter en-
ployed by H. A. ANDERSON, believes
he has identified the man who COM
mitted suicide at the stock yards by
drinking carbolic acid night before
last, as Peter Clark, a railroad man,
whose home was at Monroe, Green
county, Wisconsin. "A telegram has
been sent to H. L. Ball, sheriff Of
Green county inquiring in regard to
Clarks whereabouts, but no reply
had been received at the hour Of
going to press.
Mr.. McCulley, after viewing the
body at the Eicholtz undertaking
rooms, is positive It is that Of the
friend of his boyhood. He had
not seen Clark for more than, twenty
years, but the resemblance, he says,
is convincing. Clark was about IS
years old. He lost the index finger
of his left hand about 1888 as re-
suit of an accident while switching
in the railroad yards at North Nc
GregOr, Iowa.
Mr.. Mccully is under the impress
sion that Clark was married some
time in the SOS but afterwards sep
arated from his wife. He knows of
no riotive for saIc:fy.

CranfOrd is in possession of the Amazons: all the holders of houses, above a certain rent, are women. If a married couple come to settle in the town, somehow the gentleman disap- pears: he is accounted for by being with his regiment, his ship, or closely engaged in business all the week in the great neighboring commercial town of Drumble, distant only twenty miles on a railroad. In short. whatever become of the gentlemen. they are not at Cranford. What could they do if they were there? For keeping the trim gardens full of choice flowers
 without a weed to speck them: for frightening away little boys who look wistfully at the said flowers through the railings: for rushing out at the geese that occasionally venture into the gardens if the gates are left open; for deciding all questions of literature and politics without troubling themselves with unnecessary reasons or argu- ments: for obtaining clear and correct

TOM HAGAN VERY LOW.

The people of Tempe will regret to learn of the critical illness of Tom Hagan at his home in Los Angeles The more intimate friends of the family here have known for some weeks that the end was very near and when Andrew Nielsen received a telegram Monday evening asking him to come at once. he was not sur prised. He had been prepared for just such a message for some days He called up Judge Kent and being excused from further jury duty took the evening train for the coast. Word of Mr. Hagan's death is expected at any time and will be received here with much genuine sorrow.
