striking life which the Cubs have had.
Brown says that he cannot make as
much money in the pastime as he can
from other business and he is to re-
tire. Brown was not only one of the
greatest pitchers which the game ever
produced. but he was a splendid speci-

STORM CENTER OF D1ScUss,ox.

Governor DIX, ii is understood. will
advise in his message to tho incom-
ing New York legislature that tho
fraWley boxing law be repealed. This
measure has been the storm center of
discussion and argument ever since it
became Il portion of the statute law of
New York. The trouble seems to
have been that the law called for too
much supervision, frightened the
strings on the purse of the promoters
and rather made things too interest
ing to suit some people connected with
the fight game in New York city.
However. it seems to he a
that is .. X. as far as the game does.
1t is not perfect. no legislation is, but
that it should be repealed is quite an
other question.

The utter case with which the Aus
tralaSianS defeated the American ten
mis- team. not allowing the rcpresen-
IatiN"S of this country n single game,
has rather taken the starch out Of auv
play to go after the Davis cup again.
1t is possible that America will not
challenge for this trophy again for
two years, and it may be longer than
that before a formal ukaSc will he
issued. Until the American game inn
proves or the antipodean game deteri-
crates, it doeS not look as if America
had much chance of r.gaininS the
cup. When Larncd, the best player in
American tennis, succumbcd so
easily, it showed p~cradvcnture that
the Australians had us strong on the
court game.

MOE WON THE MATCH.

c. c. Clemmons. the prominent
Walcott. n. d., real estate man writes
the sporting editor to the effect that
tho recent wrestling match between
Ncls Moe of Christine and Kid john
son of Duluth. was one of the best
bouts of the year contrary to the
story circulated in which it was re-
ported to have been a muddled affair.
Clemmons was one of the timekeep-
ers and should know what he is talk
ing about. Here is part Of what he
had to say:
The first fall was secured by Moe
after thirty and a half minutes wrest-
ling. The fall was secured with a half
Nelson n crotch hold. The second
fall came after fifty-five and a half
minutes of wrestling and was secured
by Moe with a head scissors. In the
second round the referee called a
halt after forty-five minutes of wrest-
ling and asked if the participants
wished to call it a draw. Johnson was
Immediately willing but Moe and the
fans would not stand for it. They re-
sumed work and after ten more min
utes of wrestling Moe secured the fall
as above stated. johnson was sora
and made a "holler," but really had
none coming. No wrestler ever won a
more clean cut victory than did Moe"

sorehead and If he expects 10 continue
