divided roughly into two eras. The
first. 20 years in length. ended when
Jcffries stopped Bob Fitzsimmons for
the second time on July 25. BOZ az
San Francisco. "Jefr" having beaten
all logical contenders was starting
down the list for the second time, pre-
paratory TO retiring and handing the
title to Marvin Hart.
Sulliyan's reign" lasted 10 years,
during which the Boston Boy de-
Tended his title in two major bouts.
Ills memorable 75-rnund battle with
Jake kilrain was the last champion
ship contest fought In America with
bare knuckles. This fight. one of the
most bitter in the history OF the
American ring. was preceded about a
year yb Suilivan's 39eround draw with
Charley Mitchell at Chantiily. France.
The Introduction Of gloves changed
the game. II suited Curbetts style
Of lighting and on September :. 1892,
"Gentleman Jim was the victor over
sullivan in 2i rounds al New Orleans.

FISHERMEN WANT A
CLOSED SHAD SEASON
Believe Pollution i'm Delaware
River is Killing Off Many
Fish.

Special Correspondence Every Evening
Delaware City, June l4-The shad
season on the Delaware river and bay
closed last week. according 10 the New
Jersey and Delaware laws, but the poor
catches resulted IN the actual closing
many weeks earlier.
Local fishermen did not catch more
than twelve hundred shad this season,
for which they received about an aver
age OF 81 piece This does not compare
with the catch in former seasons, when
the fishermen thought they had poor
week il several thousand Of the fish were
not brought into this place
The twelve hundred fish caught at
this place were landed by about SIX
boats. of which four quit the season
before il was three weeks old. One crew
lished for about six weeks. The same
ocnditions apply at Port Penn and at
New Castle. The Port Penn catch was
far below the local catch, while the New
Castle fishermen probably landed as
MANY fish rs the local fishermen.
Different conditions are reported from
New Jersey. From the vicinity OF Maur-
ice River, it is reported, more shad We're
caught during the past season than dur
ing the past ten years. This is one of the
New Jersey streams in which pollution
has been prohibited for several years
and experiemtns have been conducted
there to determine the amount of intiu-
ence pollution has on the falling of in
the catch of shad on the Delaware river
and bay.
4 number Of the fishermen along the
Delaware side of the river have ex-
pressed themselves as being In favor
Of a close season for shad for severa
