NOTICE.

John b. English, the last editor
and Publ sher of the News Item on
All Fools day took his departure
without leaving any notice as to
where he wants his paper sent.
He lef most of the type, locked in
forms, piled on galleys or hidden
away i'll boxes. Owing to the more
lhan scarcity of available printers
this is the first paper we were able
to get out since. We hope our
many patrons will be patient with
us until we can get the paper in
proper running order again. The
departure OF Mr.. John was entirely
unexpected to us, and the fact was
not brought to our attention for
several days after he had left the
town. The management of thi
p aper has been entirely in his
hands since last July, and it will
take some time to get things again
in proper running order, ac-
counts looked after. correspondence
attended to and many other things
we cannot at present mention.
Give us time and we will try and
see that everything comes right in
the end.
Estate Of Thomas j. Ingham.
We hope next week to have
full line of correspondents. Write
and tell us who you are if nothing
else. Remember we furnish sta
tionary.

TEST FOR THE CHAMPION
Kilbane Says He Is Ready for
Bout with O'Keefe.

One Of the mos. important glove con-
tests OF the year will be staged In Madi-
son Square Garden tonight. Johnny Kill
bane. who won the featherweight cham
pionship from Abe Attell In California
last February. will be put to the test by
Eddie O'Keefe. Of philadelphia, at Madi-
son Square Garden tonight. In state
ment issued yesterday. the champion said:
There will be no chance TO critcise
me in this bout. for I intend to box with
all the skill at my command. l took
things a bit easily In my bouts with
Johnny Dundee and Frankie Burns, and
did not have to exert myself either In
training or In the ring. But as l do not
care To be ridiculed have prepared for
this match with the idea OF winning over
o'Keefe as quickly as possible. O'Keefe
is a great boxer and has an army Of
friends who will root hard for him. no
doubt, but after the bout is over they
will be forced to admit that | am the
better man. All I ask is fair play and
no fayors. / am ready and Will cut out
fast pace from the start"

DOLE OUT BOXING JUSTICE
Commission Reserves Decision
on Appeal by Gross.

The Atlantic Athletic Association, OF
Rockaway. was represented In two cases
brought TO the attention OF the state
Athletic Commission at It's regular weekly
meeting yesterday afternoon. In the nrSt
Louis Magnolia, appearing for the club,
scored at the expense or the boxers
Frederick Lcnghrsy, OF Philadelphia, and
Frank Nelson, who met at the club on
september 8. Al Lippe, on behaf OF
Loughrey. stated that the boys received
no money. ond he wanted them to get the
amount originally guaranteed.
II seems that the referee. Joe Ward, or
dered the boxers out Of the ring for not
irving. In tho clubs defence Magnolia
produced n contract. signed on behalf OF
the boxers. giving the referee absolute
control and the club. II. in the opinion OF
the referee, the contestants were not try
ing. power TO withhold the money. Lippe 3
defence was that the contract had been
signed without any attention being paid
10 the wording. Under the circumstances
the commission decided to uphold the
club.
The other case. In which the Atlantic
Athletic Association was interested, had
TO do with the failure OF Jim Savage TO
appear there several weeks ago against
Andy Morris. Savages defence was Ill"
ness. He appeared before the commits
sion in company with Sam Golden, his
former manager. and Danny Morgan. who
is looking after his affairs at present.
They got into heated argument with
Magnolia, and the commission put the
case over until next week, In order to
procure additional evidence.
With regard to the effort on the part OF
Leach Cross to secure reduction Of the
sixty days suspension. Sam Wallach pre-
scented petition signed by many names.
He also had another document to which
the names OF number OF newspaper men
were affixed. The commission reserved

RAIN CHECKS THE GIANTS
Tesreau Likely to Pitch One
Game Of Double Bill To. day.

The Giants were idle yesterday on &C.
count Of wet grounds, and the chance to
climb nearer the pennant at the expense
Of the Cincinnati Reds was lost, or ct
least postponed To make up the game
a double header will be played at the Polo
Grounds this afternoon. McGraw Is anx-
ious TO olinoh the pennant at the earliest
possible date. and he looks upon the Reds
as a promising means to the end.
Tesreau has not worked since last Sat-
urday, when he beat the Cubs, and he is
ohamping at the bit Four days Of rest
are altogether too much for him, and he
is fearsome lest the fine edge be removed
from his work.
II Is likely that Mathewson will face
O'Day's minions in the second stanza.
Every one knows how Matty loves
the Reds. With the Pittsburgh Pr
rates due here on Saturday, the little
Napoleon desires to make hay while tho
sun shines Both the Pirates and the
Reds are playing improved baseball and
may give the Giants some trouble. After
the dismissal OF the Pirates, nothing but
Brooklyn, Boston and Philadelphia re-
mains for the Giants.

the best in the American League circuit

we played Jake Stahl's team the last

Coombs, Plank and Bender for nearly two
weeks for these three games. and the rest
