into the lead in the final mile and
passed the point that marked the finish
with thirty yards to spare.
V. Miller of the Harbrook Heights

good performance He took the lead
from II. Ungar of the Glencoe A. c., one
of the limit men. after racing two
miles, and looked like n winner until en-

slackened so much that Milofsky found
no trouble in catching and passing him.
Edward Weiman of the Morningside

off the fast time prize. He ran the four
miles in 22 minutes 81 seconds. finishing
in tenth place. w. Stoakley of the St

New York Rules Prohibit 1t
and Referee Has Power to
Disqualify.
by CHARLES F. MATHIsoN.

Tex Richard who specializes in
worlds championship bouts, dethrone-
ment of champions and other spectacu-
lar pugilistic events, appears to have a
decided preference for the bantam box
ers of the roped square. The Lynch
Sharkey and Lynch Herman contests
We're so successful that the Garden pro-
moter has decided to try another com
bat between the ! tile fellows. Rickard
has matched Jock Sharlley to box a
fifteen round bout with Pal Moore. the
Memphis bantam, and the meeting
should be interesting
Sharkey who ascribes his defeat by
Lynch to lack of condition, Is eager to
reinstate himself in the favor of the
patrons of the Garden and has promised
to get into proper physical condition.
In his best form Sharkey Is a spectacu-
lar fighter and never permits a contest
to become tame. Sharkeys object Is
another match with Lynch and there is
small question that the winner Will be
matched with the new champion.
Moore is one of the speedest little fell
lows in the game and personally credit
to boxing. He has one serious fault. and
that is the habit of hitting with the open
glove Moore is one OF the few boxers
to hold a decision over Jimmy Wilde.
This was in a three round bout in Lon
don. but the flyweight champion re-
ceived the award when they met later
In a twenty round contest. The verdict
went against Moore largely because OF
his hitting with the open glove, the ref
cree penalizing the Memphian on that
account.
The Walker law declares that hitting
with the open glove is foul and the
referee has the power to disqualify for
that offence. 1t is to be hoped that
Moore will avoid the practice during his
bout with SharlIey in the Garden next

surprisiniS Decision.

Mr.. More declared tnat MChulille NoS
the winner OF the bout. and the uproar
that followed drowned the thunder OF
the surf on the beach.
In explanation Of the remarkable de-
cision il was asserted a few days after
the event that Mr.. More, than whom
there did not live n more conscientious
man, had used pair of counters en-
ployed by baseball umpires in keepina
track of balls and strikes. He haG
marked one of the counters Griffo and
the other McAuliffc. and at the close o.
each round he jotted the points on
writing pad. In some unfortunate man
ner he complied Griffos points under
McAuliffe's name on the pad. and there
fore gave the decision 20 the champion.
II is McAuliffe's boast that he retired
undefeated, but this should be qualified
by tho statement that while he was
defeated ne never was the victim Of
an adverse decision during his career
as title holder.
McAuiifce fought only one battle
after the Grlffo affair. The champion
met owen Ziegler in an eightrround
bout at the Atlantic A. c.. Coney Island,
and the decision was that OF draw.
Kid I,aviCne. the Saginaw Simeon,
loomed on the horizon about this time.
and the question arose OF a title match
between the thumper from tho sawdust
district of Michigan and McAullffe. The
champion had natural curiosity to
learn something as TO the ability OF
Lavigne and, therefore, arranged for
a six round exhibition bout with the
Kid. II took place In this city, March
ii. 1896, and what McAuliffe learned
as TO the strength and hitting ability
of Lavigne must have been convincing,

There are some pedestrians who have

trying to the pedestrian who happens to
be In his way when he does il.
This often happens when pedestrian
stops to gaze in a shop window and
frequently means that he treads on the
toes Of passersby.
Another frequent nuisance in city
streets is the man who greets friends
he happens to meet with elaborate saluta-
ton.
Sometimes there are several In the
group and they stop unceremOniously in
the middle OF the sidewalk and seem ut
terly oblivious of the others who may
wish to pass them.
1t is a very good plan when you wish
to make haste TO take a less frequented
street, where you set your own pace.
This usually can be done without ac-
tually going out Of your way.
1t is impossible to hope to go through
crowded city streets without sometimes
being jostled and, as you think, treated
in a very rude manner by some Of those

Mother Goose evidently did not hear

on the roof top and watching some spar

Presently she called 10 Puss. I'VE are

Puss Junior opened his eyes sleepily
to find himself in Mother Goose's arms.
They were still seated on the Gander's
back, who was flying along as If such
thing as travelling all night with two
passengers was nothing at all. As Mother
Goose finished her little verse, the Gander
alighted on the roof of big red barn, on
which a weather cock sedately turned
this way and that in the early morning
breeze.
The sun was just coming up, for it
was early, very early. Puss rubbed his
eyes and sat up. And how's my little
pussy cat?" asked Mother Goose, strok-
ing him kindly. did he have good
nights sleep?"
Yes, indeed, thank you," answered
Puss, now thoroughly awake and re-

him through Old Mother Goose land.
