his worlds mile outdoor record of
4:14 2-5 and Abel r. Kiviat Of the
Irish-American Athletic club with
AIS les for a mile indoor were the
honored ones among middle distance

obtains ia the United states, those
sanctioned by the Olympic council,
if advocated by the athletic federation
and those to be passed upon at next

pr sident Kirby, before retiring,
submitted a lengthy statement of the
work accomplished during his term
and advocated that competition under
strict conditions and limitations be-
tween amateur and professional
athletes should he sanctioned This
matter was referred to the board Of
governors.

showed a net gain for the year of
S8.151.5G and balance Of $2AS77'52
on hand The boxing championships
proved the best source of revenue
during the year They netted
$5.O8G.SA The only branch Of sport
whore the net revenues reached the
one thousand dollar mark was the in
door senior championships, which

Ia hnymaker with his l,n ana his
style had Matthews guessing at times
The St. Louis hoy duckod several
vicious left swings for the head III
was another round for Matthews,
The eighth was fought 40 a whirl-
wind pace. with both landing numer-
GUS clean blows and mixing 1t fiercely
az times, Neither appeared to have
any advantage Il was The fastest
round Of the fight up Co that time
In the ninth. Matthews began TO
force the milling, so as 10 leave no
question OF his having earned the
decision. He went after the Battler
with 4 vengeance and had his nose
bleeding and rocked MIS- head with
vicious hooks ia the jaw and head.
II was Matthews round by big mar
gin
The tenth also was fast and furious,
with Matthews having AN the best 90
IL. though Mantcll showed O willing
ness to take a punch TO land one. lie
tried hard 90 connect with q left
swing, but Matthews either duekod
tho blow or cleverly blocked it The
round was almost free from elinch-
ing. It was I'm this round that Man
ten fell. but he was unhurt and was
up Immediately It was Matthews
round. Both boys finished strong
and when Matthews hand was raised
ms the winner By the referee there
was cheering.
Il can be said that Mantcll is a
game boxer and willing at an times
10 fight. but he was unfortunate IN
hitting low several times during the
bout lie was doubtless handicapped
I'm = way by too much advice from
his corner. listening 20 the shouts OF
his seconds Instead Of watching his
opponent
Challenges were read at the ring
side from Harry shafer and Stanley
|Yoakum. who announced their de-
sire to meet the winner since
Matthews won, and there Is little
question that he decsvely beat
shafer in their recent bout Noakum
IS the logical man for Matthews TO
meet. This bout will pc staged at
Denver in the near future.

FAST BOUT
ST. Louis Lightweight 0utfights
Brooklyn Boy in Every
Round but Twoi Mike Baca
Lays Down to Jack Torres,

Pierce Matthews. ST. Louis light
weight. last night won the decision
on points, at the end Of a fast ten
round battle with Battling Mantell, Of
Brooklyn. The verdict of Referee
Fat" Shean was the only one that
could have been given, for Matthews
earned the decision by outfghting
Mantell in every round but two. and
in these two, honors were even. The
bout was one Of the best ever staged
by the New Mexico A. c., being full
of action all the way and at times
had the fans on their feet yelling for
a Knockout There were no knock
downs, though in the tenth and final
round. in fierce exchange, Mantell
fell when he stumbled over Matthews
foot as the latter sidestepped a vicious
left swing some thought Matthews
had scored a clean knockdown but
since he made no attempt 90 follow
up his advantage, and Mantell in
stanty was on his feet it was plainly
evident that II was a fall
The boys started off the first round
to feel each other out While Man
tell was disposed to do the leading,
he usually was sent back by Matthews
Furnishing left jab or a left hook fol-
lowed by right cross. Mantell tried
to use a left swing for the head and
body, alternating this with right
uppercut, but Matthews blocked
cleverly. 1t was Matthews round by
shade
In the second, Matthews rocked
Mantell's head with left and right,
while the Brooklyn boy contented
himself with body punches doing the
most OF his fighting in the clinches.
In this round Mantell opened up a
cut on Matthews forehead, sustained
in training, and it bled II was Mat
thews' round.
In the third, Matthews staggered
Mantell with a succession of left and
right hooks to the head and face, but
the Brooklyn boy kept boring in for
more, attempting to land a wicked
left swing to the head or body It
was Matthews round.
The fourth round was slow,
Matthews apparently stalling. Neither
boy inflicted any damage and there
was much clinching. II was an even
round.
In the fifth, Mantell opened the
round by meeting Matthews in his
own corner with a terrific right to
the head They then exchanged
punches fiercey, with Matthews hav-
ing the best Of it. Matthews scored
as the bell rang with a hard right to
the body. 1t was easily Matthews
round
In the sixth, Mantell led off with
la left to Matthews stomach but
Matthews forced Mantell back with
hard left and right to the Jaw. The
Battler only shook his head and
came back for more. In this round,
Mantell' appeared to strike low sew
eral times and there were cries Of
foul from the audience. Matthews
had the round on clean blows scored.
The seventh saw Matthews landing
telling blows in the exchanges There
was considerable clincning Man
tell appeared to be trying to slip over

New York Nov lf.--It ls said that
Gov John * Tener. OF Pennsylvania.
will be The next president of The Nae
tlonal league. According To the latest
accounts. six clubs have already
agreed 20 offer the post 20 the present
chief executive Of the Quaker state.
and while tho other two clubs are still
60 be heard from, there is not q doubt
in the world that they would climb
on the band >wagon.
At first glance il IS hard 60 undcr-
stand why a man should choose TO-
become n National league maEnate
rather than 10 remain governor of q
great state Ike Pennsylvania. but
there Is another side 90 the case In
the first place, Governor Tener has
always Kept his love for baseball, and
even today II Is said that he retains
much of the skill which long aeo
made him famous as a pitcher of the
Chicago White stockings.
IN the second place the National
league has at last come to recognize
that il Is steadily slipping backward
as a result of the policies that u has
employed IN the past, and the now
president would he given "a fNc-ycar
term and an annual salary Of $4,000.
He would be as absolute In his own
organization as Ban Johnson now ia
IN the American league. Governor
Teners term has but one more year
20 run. and his present salary ia SlO,-
600.
one OF the chief movers Ia the
plan to secure Governor Tener as the
leagues new executive Is President
Baker OF the Philadelphia club, for
merly q police commissioner In this
city Mr. Baker wishes a man for
president OF the league so big that
his acts will be unqucstioned by the
chronic kickers. who have all but
disrupted the organization.
Adrian G.. Anson discovered Tener
pitching professional bah In
Pittsburgh fle Immediately recog-
nized his ability and signed him as
one Of the pitchers of the Chicago
club. Tener made the tour OF the
world with the white Stockings IN
1883. acting as treasurer Of the or
ganization as well as doing his share
on the naT field In 1889 he kept up
his twrling record hatted 275 and
played first base in the final games
Of the season. when Arson was in
capacitated. The following season
the present governor was with the
Pittsburgh brotherhood team AZ
this time he became interested In
politics and reluctantly gave up base.
