BOXING GAME
IS UNCERTAIN
Cities Have a Fid of Permittin
and Protesting M;Ils.
" That" '(fie T)Tirig"'g'afhc' mi 1fs""i"ipsW'iT
ilowiis'' was shown last week when tioilis
i.ie was n gain '.UM ncd la the knight ut
tin- "gluvi . while Kansas City and Ua'tt
more took action against the sport'. The
opening of Louisville means more to the
garni', however, than the closing of half
a dozen cities like Baltimore and Kansas
I':';'.
The Kentucky promoters have the word
0( ;ne authorities that 'boxing bouts" will
j. pe rmitted, but that prize tights will be
I r.rri d. In taking this action the I-ouls-ville
authorities are in accordance with
:he law and in accordance with the re
cent decision handed down by Judge Ton
ey of the Chancery Court. It brings the
arnument back to the old proposition as
to whether a boxing bout is a prize fight.
When Corhett and MeOovem were
matched to fight In Louisville In Septem
ber It was distinctly provided that tho
affair was a "boxing bout," nnd the fol
lowers of the game were willing to pay
money to se.e the bout. Therefore, if the
featherweights are ag;ain,. signed for
.Lpuisv-Jlje; thg situation w.1.1.1 bejhe. same
as before, with the exception that there
can be no injunction against the holding
of the contest. This seems to be a vic
tory for the boxers, and unless the de
cision Is reversed In the higher court,
th're seems to he no reason why the
g-.me cannot be revived.
Bl'LL FIGHT THE EOV. v
The order against Ijoxlng In Kansas
City came about in a peculiar way. Jack
Root and Tommy Ryan were matched to
fight' Ihere "nhef" (he '''-Exposition Hall had'
been engageel for the bout. Some other
promoters attempted to pull off a bull-
tight, and the opposition aroused when
the event was permitted, so alarmed the
authorities that they concluded to call a
halt oti all contests. Including boxing,
wrestling and everything else.
COLOR THE TROUBLE.
The shutters have been put up In Bftjr
timore because Joe Gans was permitted
to beat up a white man after the latter
was shown to be outclassed and thor
oughly defeated. Cans' opponent was a
Brooklyn man named Sieger. Sieger was
no match for the lightweight champion
and was quickly pounded to pieces. Sieger
kept on llRhting for 15 rounds, but was
so weak and bloody long befors the fight
was ovr that many people left the hall
in disgust. Several men took the matter
to the authorities. They claimed that the

tasted rif"at until James J Corhett .beat
film, down aivd out wt New OrieA-ns- -VI
cais at; i hiu tvan was broken m h art
and spirit and nev -r tried to tight again.
When I'ltzsinuni.iiu put Corhett away at
Carson It" deprived the Callfornian of all
the stamina that had maele him famous.
Corhett gave a magnificCnt exhibition of
boxing, but it was a flash in the pan. and
wheyi Jeffries put on the finishing touches,
'Gentleman Jim' was easy."
FIT2'S FIRST DEFEAT.
"Fltzslmmons got his first knockout in
this country from Jeffries. He tried ag-ibi
and received the same dose, only Pi
quicker time. Fltzslmmons went Into
the ring confident in his own ability to
administer punishment, but feeling In
wardly that his antagonist had a punch
that was dangerous in the extreme. And
it was the dread of that particular I low
that prevented the Cornishman from
righting his man as he had all of his vlc
t ims.
M'COT'S HEART BROKE.
"Kid McCoy was on the high road to
success when Tom Sharkey knocked him
out lie was hailed as the coming ch'im
pion. His cleverness was wonderful and
his heart stout as oak. But when
Sharkey was sent after him by Tom
O Ilourke and the Kid felt the force of
the burly sailor's terrific blows, he weak
ened. The knockout came In the tenth
round, and. was the result of superior
strength and greater courage. With It

the Iloor and cyuld -not rise within the
prescribed whipped limit. After that the
Kiel whipped Maher. but Maher had less
heart than the Kid because of the fact
that the Irishman had been twice stopped
by Fltzslmmons' terrible jolts and
swings.
THE SAILOR'S BLOWS.
"Sharkey got along swimmingly under
the care of Tom, O'Rourke. After stop
ping McCoy and Corbett he went after
Jeffries, and In a great fight, whirh
went the limit of 25 rounds, the sailor
did so well that many of the spectators
thought the decision should have been a
draw. Sharkey, however, got a beating
from Jeffries that put him on the down
grade. He had two ribs broken and re
ceived other injuries which seemingly af
fected him afterwards.

THE WOMEN
OF TURKEY
(Ixindon Telegraph.)
Friday Is the only day on which Turk
ish women enjoy a little liberty and re
lease from the dreadful seclusion In which
they are always ket, and they are not
slow to avail themselves of the chance.
On Fridays every one feoes to the Sweet
W-af?rs of Asia, which consists of a small

dreds. of .boats .Assemble and glide -up. and.
down the river. Every boat or caique
has two or more Turkish ladles on board.
The sight is a very fine one, as each pri
vate caique Is most carefully got up, and
the boatmen wear brilliant liveries to
match the cushions and the long embroid
ered cloth which hangs over the stern
and trails in the water. The Khedlvah
of Egypt Is one of the finest, in crimson
and gold, embroidered with crowns and
fishes. Besides the liveries the parasols
make a wonderful show, and here may
be seen all the latest Parisian creations.
The ladies must not speak to men. but
the careful observer can frequently catch
sights of veils lowered or other slgn.ol
given when a particular boat is passing,
and habitual frequenters can point out
boats which are sometimes close to each
other. It Is a very innocent diversion
and would not satisfy Western ladles. An
hour before sunset the police boats ap
pear and force all women to leave.

Senators and Members of Congress
have been having great . fun with the
president's new quarters since they re
turned to Washington for the session.
During the summer they read a great
deal about the structure and how art
was concealed in art In the making of a
harmonious exterior and interior. In
front of the main entrance of the presi
dent's building there Is a coal hole.
At the same door stands a galvanized
garbage fan which servies as an um
brella holder. The architects had for
gotten all about the coal hole until It
was too late to put It elsewhere than
in the most conspicuous place and the
umbrella holder was totally unprovided
for until one of the doortenuers thought
of the garbage can.
"I never knew how much art con
cealed y art there was In my district
until I called on the president." said
Congressman Suler. who represents a
poor district In New York. "Why, al
most every house in my district has a
garbage can at the front door, and we
are so proud of our coal holes that fre
quently we don't cover toem up."
