Hove, England, April s.-Charley Mitchell, one-time middleweight cham pion of England, died here today of locomotor ataxia.
 Charley Mitchell was born at Bir- mingham, England, November 24, 1861. Although he fought many ring battles against big men like Sullivan, Corbett, Cardiff McCaffery, Kilrain and Burke, Mitchell was a middleweight pugilist never turning the scales at more than I54 pounds when in perfect condition. His remarkable fast footworki and skilful boxing offset this advantage in weight and he. proved to be equally effective as a punisher when fighting either with or without padded gloves.
 Mitchell's first ring Battle was with bare knuckles when at the age of Is he knocked out Bob Cunningham, the bout lasing almost one hour. He scored several other victories during the two following years in bouts in England and on the continent.
 After winning the middleweight and heavyweight championships of Eng land in 1882 Mitchell came to America in 1883 with the intention of challeng- ing John L. Sullivan The stature Of the "Brummagen Lad,' as he was then called, did not impress the American followers of pugilism, but when Nit chell met and defeated Mike Cleary. New York heavyweight, in three rounds, he was quickly accepted as an opponent for Sullivan. These two met at the Madison Square Garden in a four round glove fight, under Marquis of Queensberry rules on May II, 1885 The British boxer surprised the F, 00O spectators by meeting Sullivan's teF- rife rushes in the opening rounds and after some heavy exchanges he scored a clean knockdown with perfectly timed right smash to Sullivan's jaw sending the Boston man to the ring floor amid the widest excitement. This was Sullivan's first experience of knockdown by an opponent and ii happened toward the close of the frs round. Sullivan rushed and roughed the visitor during the second rount and threw Mitchell over the ropes twice. Sullivan, with left swing tt the jaw knocked Mitchell down twice in the third round and with another left she had Mitchell hanging over tht ropes. when the police stopped thu bout Mitchell always insisted tha l he would have been able to continu' i had the police not interfered and h' never ceased to challenge Sullivan un i til the latter consented to anothe' encounter which took place five year
 later at Chantilly, France, on Marcl I 10 1888.
 This was MitchelTs greatest rini
 effort They fought with bare knuck
 les for s2,5O0 a side and the bou lasted three hours and eleven minutes
 Mitchell drew first blood, in the eightl
 round but Sullivan got the credit Q
 the only knockdown during the. fgh
 which was declared a draw by Refere
 B. J. Angle of London.
 After James J. Corbett had won tn
 worlds championship from Sullivan il 1892, Mitchell challenged him for tn 1 title and at Jacksonville, Fla, on Jan i uary 25, 1894. Corbett knocked out tn Englishman in the third round. Thi
 was Mitche1l's last fight in the ring l

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET CONTINUED DULL Rails Were Conspicuous For Their
 Extreme Eackwardness.

New York, April 3.-For all practi- cal purposes today's stock market was little more than a duplicate Of the previous day. Trading was a trifle more active and diversified, but the tone was hesitant on the further ab- sence of decisive advices from abroad.
 Rails were conspicuous for their ex- treme backwardness, Canadian Pacific being the only important issue, to vary so much as a point. In the main, the trend in that division was downward, coalers losing substantial fractions, but hardening toward the close. :,
 U. $. Steel, which yielded leadership to such speculative issues as Sumatra Tobacco and Studebaker, traversed a very narrow area, while Sumatra regi- stered an extreme gain of three points and Studebaker advanced IA.
 Pools relieved the monotony by oc- casional diversions in special stocks, Industrial Alcohol distillers' Securit- ies and malting preferred gaining be- tween one and two points. General Motors improved on Studebaker's bet ter showing. and minor metals derived some stimulus form a four point rise in National Lead.
 Shipping steadied on relaxation of recent pressure and prominent equip ments were featured by American Car and Baldwin Locomotive, at extreme gains of 1 F to ? points American Can olso advancing one point and Atlantic Gulf ,21k. Sales amounted to 1S0 600 shares.
 Industrial conditions assumed more hopeful aspects OF the recovery of pig iron production, as disclosed by statis- tics for March. and prospects of large government contracts for railroad sup plies.
 Further strength in French issues marked the irregular bond list, Liber- ties also moving variably Total sales par value, aggregated s5 250,000. U. S. bonds. oil issues, were un- changed on call.

BRIckLEY, HARVARD KICKER
 ENLISTS IN NAVAL RESERVES
Army Service Too Show For E-crim-
 son Toe Artist.

Boston, Mass. April 3-Charles E. Brickley, Harvard's famous drop kick CT, was enrolled in the naval reserve today. Brickley had tried to get into active service for some time Last July he was sergeant in the Harvard reserve officers training corps and subsequently, it was announced that he was to be assigned to a position on the staff of the department of the northeast. As the opportunity for ac- tive service was slow in coming, how ever, Brickley applied for naval enlist ment. Navy department officials sug- gested that he study at the school for ensigns but the former gridirion lead CT decided to start as an enlisted man. It is expected that he will receive an appointment as chief petty officer, and will go to Washington about April 15.
 Of the great football trio of Brick ley's time at Harvard, Eddie Mahan is now top sergeant in the marines and 'Tacks" HardWick is a lieutenant in one of the first artillery detach- ments to land in France.

Coach Abbott's View on Rowing.

Professor Mather Abbott Yale's row. ing coach says in the Yale News:
 The only excuse that the authori- ties have for instituting organized sport at these two universities again is that we find it necessary for the morale and good health of the college that the students should be urged to undertake athletic sports, and these sports will merely be the handmaid of military or naval training. We there fore enter organized sport, not with the old purpose of defeating our hereditary rivals but merely with the purpose of turning out men in the best physical condition to undergo the strain of modern warfare"
