HOW MANDOT
BEAT MORAN

MEMPHIS, Tenn, April Joe
Mandot, the southern aspirant to the
lightweight title, fought like a tiger
to regain lost ground caused by a
knockdown in the second round. car
ried the fight to the end and was
awarded the decision over Owen Mo
ran, the British boxer, at the end of
their eight round contest before the
National A. c. last night
For the first time in his local career
Mandot suffered not only a knock
down, but bed profusely from the
mouth in the second round AMI the
southerner took the count of nine.
Mandot came up strong in the third
round and forced the fighting to the
finish. He landed repeatedly without
a return, starting the blood to flow
from Moran's mouth in the seventh.
The fight was a vicious one from
first to last. Mandot set the pace in
the opening round by splitting Mo
rams lips with rapid lefts. Moran
rarely fought back and rarely resorted
to anything more than left hooks dur
ing the eight rounds.
During the middle rounds both boys
missed repeatedly in an effort to land
knockout The final round produced
rally from both boxers, but Mandot
more than held his own with straight
lefts to the face and rights to the jaw
and stomach.
Challenges to the winner were read
at the ringside from Matty Baldwin
and Paul Moore.

Mccarthy and CapIeS
Are Settling Down to
Their Training Grind

Johnny Mccarthy has taken up
training quarters at the marine camp.
He could hardly have found a better
spot for the purpose, for the beach
road is ideal for running, the air is
strong and fresh and there is no lack
of sparring material among the sport
ing marines.
Trier will, if his injured wrist per-
mits, work out with the San Fran
cisco boy whose regular sparring
partner will be George Ingle. Trier,
who has the making of fine boxer,
will undoubtedly benefit by mis- work
with Mccarthy and the experience
should serve him in good stead when
he again appears in the local ring.

Cy Hoskins Met With a TURTLE
Excushiating Experisnts While
IN Hen Weathersby's Store
TOther Night---SeveraI Of Our
Best Citizens Under Suspish-
ions Concerning What Was
StOIe---FuIl PartiCkIeTS Below

Cy Hosleins, one of our most respek-
ted citizens who has perhaps more
ready money on hands at all times than
any other magnate of Bingville to say
nothink of holding mortgages on prop
erty of widders and others for which he
gets 10 per cent and forecloses every
time he gifts a chanst, had bitter ex-
perience down to Hen Weathersby's
store tother night which almost made
Cy sweat blood while it lasted and give
him SIGH financial skeer that he wont
likely git over it for some time to come.
Cy he dropt into the store after sup
per as ushual to smoke and chat with
his neighbors who collects there and
to find out what had happend in the
naberhood during the day and set down
on the only chair in the store being as
the rest of the seats is either boxes or
kegs or something. Hen says he cant
furnish chairs for them as comes in
in the evg being as they will white EN-
UP with their jack-knives and the only
reason they don't white up the only
chair in the place in that Hen give it
a coat of paint with some sand mkt
with the paint and as result they don't
cut this chair being as it dulls their
lrnifes. Cy he allus tries to manage
to git to the store before emmy buddy
else so as he can git possession of the
chair which he keeps until Hen shets
up the store at P. M.
Well, Cy had been settia there smok-
in and talkin and went TO fill his pipe
and pulled his tobacker pouch outen his
pants pocket but there wassent no to-
hacker in it. Cy he askt Lem Goo<ins
who set next to him for pipefull, but
Lem said he'd left his tobacker at home
Deacon Snodgrass said he smoked SIGH
cheep tobacker that he was ashamed to
offer emmy of it to Cy and everybody
else Cy asked had some excoose or
other until Cy got disguised and got
up and went over to Hen who was
behint the counter and askt him for
package of smokin. 1t grinds Cy tur-
rible to haft to spend money for to-
hacker or ennythink else for that matter. |
Cy he reached into his pocket for |
his wallet to pay Hen S cts for the |
tobacker, then all to onct he turned pale |
and staggered and gasped and choked |
and his eyes plugged out from his head |
agoing to fall over on the floor.
Hank Dewberry jumpt up and grabbed |
Cy to keep him from fallin. What !,

Hoskins chimney ever sinst the big
wind of Jans4 1888 but within the
past few days Cy has replaced
these bricks.
There be other marked improve
ments in Bingville which we could
name but it amt necessary.
Now take the other side of the
questshion:
Brad Iinsley's house needs a
coat of paint which it has needed
for IL yrs. AS matter of fackt
Brad's house amt got emmy paint
on it a tall being as it has all peel
ed off. Then there is Deacon But
terworth's addishion to his kitchen
which was beginned four yrs ago.
They got as far as putting up the
studs and there the work stopt
and there hasn't been a lick done
on that addishion sinst. It is a reg
lar eyesore to Bingvil1e. Hank
Petersby started to bid a barn II
yrs ago and got the foundashion
started and that's all that has been
did.
What is the blamed use of some
folks maxim Improvements in Bing-
vile if others hangs back and don't
do their share, we ask? What eff
feckt does it have to build a new
henhouse, or shingle roof or put
new pickets on a fence if other
folks lets their premises go to rack
& ruin?
The sooner some of Our citizens
wakes up to this turrible state of
affairs the better it will be for
