BOXING NOTES.

The Cercle Canadian Club has COM
pleted arrangements for the bout at
Lewiston City hall, next Friday eve
ming. In the main go, George Alger
and Tiger Young will oppose each
other. Alger is well-known in New
England boxing circles, and is reckoned
as high class lightweight. Young is
not as we'll known around here as he
has been in this section but few
months. Those who saw him against
Bay Wood and Hugo Kelley at Au-
gusta say he is some fast fighter. He
has met many good men and managed
to hold his own or better. In the semi
final, Charlie Sheppard will meet Gus
Lanney Joe Laroche will be seen
against Young Lahey in the opening
bout.-Lewiston Sun.
Promoter Coffroth declares that Jim
my Clabby was afraid to meet Billy
Murray again and for that reason ran
away TO Australia. Coffroth says that
Clabby is getting only $4,000 and not
$4,000 for five bouts in Australia.
Kid Williams and Kid Herman have
been matched to box at New Orleans
or May II.
Pal Moore of Philadelphia shaded
Pat Drouillard of Windsor, Canada,
Monday night in a 10-round bout be-
fore the Olympic A. c.. at Rochester,
N. Y. Moore was the cleverer and had
the fight all his own way until the
10th round. when the Frenchman show
ed at his best. 1t was a clean, scien-
tiflc contest.
Jess willard. weighing 237 pounds,
Knocked out Dan Daily, 207, in the
ninth round of their bout Monday
night at Buffalo, n. Y. It was Will
lard's battle from the start. Daily
took many stiff punches about the
head and was groggy in almost every
round. He was down once in the sew
enth. His ability to takep enlistment
was the redeeming feature of his show
ing. Both men were slow.
The bout Monday night at Philadel-
phia between Johnny Kilbane and
frankie Daley of Pittsburg was very
unsatisfactory, as Daley stalled all
the way. Referee Hanlon stopped the
milling twice in the third and told the
boys If they didn't fight they would
have to leave the ring. Daley took the
count of six in the fourth from a
right to the jaw and from then on was
a mere plaything for the champion,
but the Pittsburger continually held
on. The boxers were Kissed as they
left the ring.

BASEBALL NOTES.

Biddeford fans are looking for one
of the best seasons IN baseball for
years. Few can remember when the
interest was at a higher pitch. The
Manufacturers League has done much
to boom the famous outuoor sport in
Biddeford and Saco this season and it
is expected that other teams will or
ganize to play independent ball.
Manager Louis Pieper of Lawrence

There is q chance of Jesse c. Bur
kett getting Shortstop Jim Cooney
back, but it is not a very rosy chance,
Cooney was sold to Boston Red Sox
for $500, $1,000 down ana the othoI
$500 if he made good. Cooney has
done good work for the Sox this
spring. They have no room for him,
but they don't like to let him get away
from them. So the management is
thinking seriously of paying the othsr
$1,000, which it owes, and thus secure
full claim to him. Then, Boston would
farm" him out, holding a string, how
ever, on his services. In that way,
Boston would not be taking the chance
of seeing a good player fall into the
hands of a rival club or league.
Arle Britton, who is well known to
New England League fans as the for
mer Lynn pitcher, now a member of
the Newark team of the International
League, met with an accident Wednes-
day which will keep him out of the

practice when a spectator picked up

Tuesday, can claim one baseball rec
ord without fear of being disputed,
writes Sid Mercer, to the New York

But Rhodes would not have it. He said

would not help at all. and he thought
that members would agree with him.
