The Worlds Greatest Pugilists;
James Burke, Who Visited America

Fitzmaurice something better was seen.
They went 1855 rounds. the fight last
ing two hours and f1fty-five minutes.
Both men were nearly out, but Burke.
by superhuman effort, just mustered
a blow to put out the light Of the
other one.
dent already referred to, Burke beat
several others in quicker time but the
purses were insignificant, and the men
not much better than his earlier OPP
ponents Some of these men included
a couple of fighters of enormous
stature and strength.
Then came a tragic fight, when Burke
,, met the Irish champion. Simon Byrne.
Burke was nearly out. but an Interrupt
ton came from Burke's friends. BY
biting and kicking him they got him
on his feet, when really he should
have received the count. Later both
recovered together, and got at 1t again.
1t was the longest fight ever fought
for championship. lasting three hours
and sixteen minutes. It is hardly to
be imagined, and as a feat of endur-
ance I should think it was almost
without parallel.
Byrne's life might have been spared.
He never recovered from the effects
of the long battle. and died a few
days after. Burke was much upset.
and. to his honor. collected a good
sum for the widow. He was acquitted
on a charge Of manslaughter. The de-
cfsion was that it might have been
Byrness exertfons, and not Burke
punches, which caused the fatality.

II the promoters Of the Johnson
Flynn bout expected enthusiastic
outbursts on the part Of the press OF
the country as a result Of the an
'nouncement Of the match. they have
met with disappointment. No ath-
letic contest arranged in recent years

it is not intended to have the two men

That it is mistake to take these base
ball rows seriously has been proven on
innumerable occasions. month or sc
ago all sorts of trouble seemed to
threaten. There seemed danger of an
open war between the two major leagues
Clubs were accused of being in collusion
with ticket scalpers and there was scan
dal between managers and club owners
The uninitiated may have feared disrup-
ton of the entire base ball works, and
yet today everything has been smoothed
over, and the next sea son will start
without a change in conditions.
1t is remarkable what these magnates
really get away with. They are appar-
emily at swords ends today and are seatet
at love feast tomorrow. Surely there
is no danger of any war between these
factions. at least not while the game is
prospecting as it is.

Jack Lelivelt may realize his ambit ion
next season, for there appears 10 be-
good chance of his being installed at first
base for Rochester. Ever since Leliyelt
convinced himself that he was not cut out
for an outfielder he has had his eye on
first base. In fact it seemed for time
that he would land that position with
the Nationals last spring. but Illness
made a change necessary and before Lei
ivelt got back in harness Schaefer had
shown himself SO capable in the position
that he was retained there.
But when Rochester lost Spencer II left
that team without first-sacker. and Lei
ivelt looks to have a good chance to win
the position, since there is no doubt
about his being able to hold his own with
the stick.

Is one Of the best catchers In the coun-
try. but aside from q short period every

justice. His reputation Is such that when
the Cincinnati club asked for waivers on
him some time ago not a single club re-
fused, and yet IL Mclean would keep
straight he would bring a fabulous sum
if placed on the market. The time when
ball players could use the game as side

Seattle Authorities Try in Vain to Identify Female Companion of Louis Pot ter as Person of Literary Reputation.

SEATTLE, Sept. 1-Every effort to identify as a literary parsonage the woman who accompanied Louis Potter, sculptor, to Seattle, who was with him when he died at an obscure hotel on Thursday came to naught. The woman appears amply supplied with funds and her friends have eX- erted sufficient influence to protect her name, the coroner refusing to disclose her whereabouts.
 Some friction has developed be- tween the prosecuting attorney and the coroner because the latter delay ed ordering the arrest of the Chinese doctor who treated Potter He has not been apprehended. The prose- cutor also advised placing Potter's companion under bond but the cor oner declared that he was convinced that that was unnecessary as he had assurance that she would be avail able as a witness. In a search of her room letters addressed to Miss Martha Miller of Riverside, Cal, the postmarks eight years old, were found.

 NEARLY COMPLETED
West Wing of Old Administration
 Building Soon Ready for Use.

Within a very short time it is eX- naoted that the last trace will be re- moved of the fire which partially de- stroyed the administration building at tha state asylum. The work of re- huildiug the damaged structure has nropressed so far that it will not be long before the west wing will be ready for occupancy. The east wing was completed several weeks ago and the Datients who had been housed in the other end of the building were thereupOn removed to the repaired nortion and the work of reconstruct ing the other portion of the building begun.
 Some very decided changes are be- ing made in the interior of the west wing Many of the old partitions are heinz removed and particular atten- tion is being given to the introduction of more light and good air. It is manned to make the west wing one of tha most cheerful sections of the entire asylum Incidentally, COntrac- tor George H. Gallagher is engaged in so completely fireproofing the old buiIding that a repetition of the fire of last year will be an impossibility.
 If is expected that the new admins tratiOn building, which stands just south of the west cottage, will be ready for occupany in a short time and will provide adequate office room for the executive departments of the institution.
