Into the game by hav ing marie a match with Corbett, to oc «ur In New York prior to the death of feu liortoii law. Now should the men r..«<i. which is doubtful, there is a Chance ihat McCoy might win. In that event It would be Fitzsimmons and Mc- Coy, instead of Fitz and Corbett. and th.ii would be a still more desirable match, for ih'-n would come together in the ring ihe two men who are, perhaps, ih. nearest of a <-luss In the business. Both Fitzsimmons and McCoy are really middleweights. Neither is big enough 1., be classed as a first grade heavy wright. li is because of tne skill and cn'hii'ng of the men thai they are ranked «s worthy of consideration in the strug gli for the championship. With Fitz and Me* oy In trim there would be the most scientific battle seen in the ring f-inee th. -lays of Jem Mace. There is so little difference in the physique of the men thai neither would have marked advan i.l,> <.\<i the other, li would be difficult to pick Ok- winner In such an event. LOOK OUT FOR GANS. There is a cloud on the horizon of the lightweight division of the boxers, in the plwpe oT Joe Gans, the clever Baltimore t-ojored boxer, who has just deposited a forfeit for a match with Frank Erne for the lightweight championship, with :, |>ro\is,i thai if Erne should decline to accept, Cans is open to meet Terry Me- Govern under conditions similar to those Iliaf governed the bout between McGov .m and Erne. Cans stipulates, how ever, tbal the weight shall be the limit for !he lightweight class—l 33 pounds, ring side. He will agree to stop the Brooklyn terror inside of ten rounds, an did Krne, but if McGovern is seeking lightweight honors, he must earn them with Gans «t the weight. There Is great doubt that McGovern will agree to any such stipulation. He would likely be perfectly willing to make a match with Gans upon precisely the same terms that prevailed when lie met Erne—Clans to weigh in at 328 pounds. Hence there is small chance of a battle between the pair, for it is almost a foregone conclusion that Gans •would not attempt to make that weight —especially aiter what happened to Erne in his meeting with McGoVern. ROOT AND RYAN HISSED. Tha six-round bout between Tommy nyaii and Jack Root, at Chicago, wtis far from satisfactory to the people who paid n good price for tickets to witness a box- Ing match. They saw. Instead, a walk nbout, In which Ryan and Root fussed about a little, but carefully avoided lin ing: to Injure each other. Before the bout had progressed half the distance there were cries of fake from the spectators, and during the closing rounds hundreds left the hall In disgust, never agraln to L" party to fitich an affair. This is ever flu- result of such balitea as was the one nriangod between Ryan and Root. It was agreed in advance that Ryan should have Ji'.roo for his services, win or lose. Ho would have been r candidate for an in- Kanp asylum had be done different th:ui he did. There wan no reaai.u why Ryan should take a chance of defeat, which ; have Injured his money-earnt«Js . when he knew that he w.'.uld c t just as much cash for remaining -m hi« feet to the clop* of the bout—win r.r dtaw. The management was taken in. That c-ov rrr; the story. Surh nghts never please. The principals of a nattk- sliouM be com pelled to win or loa<? The public pays its money to see that sort of a game, unl it is b?ing buncoed when it gete anything else. HEARING THE END. It is little more than a month now till the Horton law will die by limitation. That will put a stop to boxing in New York. There will be boxing, and the ques tion next in order is. Where? Futiue fight* will probably not be of the Hmitf-1 round sort. That is. the champion-hip battle*. There will l>« boxing in many (ities, in which the limit will be some where about six or eight rounds, but when it comes to a decision in which ibe championship title i« involved, that sort of battle will not answer. There aie places where boxers can set!lf- their dif ferences, yet it ii a question where th<; next real championship contest will oc cur. That Is, the next to follow those al ready scheduled to take place in NewTork. Nevada has been suggested. The only objection to that state is the difficulty in Kitting a, crowd, and. without a crowJ even a modern championship battle is Of little, interest. Within a brief period. however, patrons of the sport may expert some sort of announcement as to what will be done aff^-r New York closes its doors against the game. -Willie Green.

Brave Girl's Desperate Alleinpl to s"'f 'I'rnin From Drslrucuiin. PHILADELPHIA. Pa., July 28.—NeMi Klrsch, fifteen years old, awoke this morning to find herself famou?. The town folk of Wayne and St. Davids called at the little grocery store at Aberdeen street and Lancaster avenue to congrat ulate her upon her escape from death in the wreck of a coal train on the main line of the Pennsylvania railroad, and to applaud her efforts to save the train from destruction. Nellie Kirsch lives at Rosemont, and is employed by I. V. Hale, a grocer. When her work is through at night she walks over to St. David's station and takes the accommodation train shortly before 7 o'clock. It is her custom to walk along the side of the tracks. She had just reached the maine line at Aberdeen street and was trudging along, Blueing to herself, when the coal train passed at full speed. A myrald of sparks tame from tne truck of one of the cars. Nellie kii«w tnat something was wrong. Ti<W aobut her form was a red apron, which pro tected her dress while working in the store. She waved the garment vigorously at the same time yelling with all her might to Conductor John F. Glass who was on the rear car of the train. Glass motioned from the tower of the caboose to the engineer to stop the train, but it was too late. There was a crash and twenty-three cars were piled in a heap on the track. A broken flange was responsible for the wreck, which strewed the tracks for sev eral hundred yards, and which necessitat ed the continuous efforts of more than 100 workmen until this afternoon before trains could be run on regular schedule time. Splinters from the wrecked ears and some of the flying pieces of coal struck Nellie, but her Injuries are not serious. STRANGE ANIMAL AT TOLEDO. Severely Blte» Member* of a <'l«i --x«'u'm Family. TOLEDO, 0., July 28.—A wild animal of some sort has brought terror to th« family of Joseph Cohen, a clothier,*"who?e residence and place of business are at No. 1720 Canton avenue* Four members of .the family, have been bitten and are under the care of Dr. Smith. The bites are dangerous, less from their extent than lrom the Inflammation which fol lows, and threatens blood poisoning. Ail four members of the family were at tacked during the night. Mrs. Cohen was bitten on the wrist a week tigo while asleep, and for a time it waf .'eared she would lose her arm If not h / rife. She did not see the animal. Las . 'light the little girl, Esther, was bitten through the nose while she slept, and a little later the baby was bitten on the toe. ICarly In the morning the littlo girl was again severely bitten. The family was too frightened to sleep, and when Cohen was attacked and bit-' ten in the sice he saw the animal, lie described it an being not more than six Inches In length, covered with n h^ht fur, with a humped back and a bushy tail, finite unlike any animal be has ever seen before: He was bitten in the",left sid<; unilemeatl; the arm.

Miss Hokanson has several times raced In this vicinity, finishing with credit, and Misses Ward and Olson have won decisive races in fast company elsewhere, Mis:; Olsno having defeated Lisette, the pretty and sensational Fv neb rider who made her appearance here about a year ago. * • • Geo. Sudhelmer, siate amateur cham pion, enjoys the distinction of holding more track records, and winning more races than any other amateur In Minne sota. Altogether he has participated In over 3<mi cycle races, and has won 130 firsts, to say nothing of innumerable sec onds and thirds, captured in many parts Of the United States and Canada. He has the knacji of making a peculiar sprint within a few rods of the tape that usually lands him a winner. Most of his races have been won by inches, and have Inevitably been of the hair raising order. Mr. Sudheimer was born in St. Paul; and first came Into prominence five years ago as a cyclist and a skater, when those sports were at the height of their popu larity. At that time the fteld of competi tion included a large number of riders who are now rated with the best profes sionals in the country. But George Sud helmer has from the tirst refused to leave the amateur class and every year since his Initial bow found him in the front ranks of tha embitious amateurs. Starting eaily in the season of 1896 in a handicap race on the limit mark he won a -signal victory from a fast field. He very soon became a factor in the ama teur class, and before the season was far advanced he was rated as a limit man by the handicapppers. Since then he has always been started on the honor mark. As a speed skater his reputation is fully as great as a cyclist. At Montreal two years ago last winter he was the best of the Americans entered there and was only beaten by the Canadian champion by a few inches, after a five mile Btrug- CARRIE OLSoN. gle for (.hie championship of that year. Besides holding the state championship for four yean* he also holds the Lexing ton track record for :\ m'te, state rdcords for mile. h;ilf mile, quarter mile, fast competition -records, to s:hv nothing of a number of track records around tin state. When it is considered that the life of a racing man Is seldom 'longer than two •■f seasons, Mr. Sii<!h»imer's performance on the track f< r the last live years pives him a distinction not often •enjoyed by a rider. Mr. Sudheimer possesses a half dozen medals v.Ol, m othei a:hlt:tic events, including tumbli'i? and school sports.

CLEVELAND. July ML—The last "day of the grand circuit meeting was mark ed by another sensational performance. '•'he world's record for pacers, which «vac broken on Tuesday by Coney, when lie went a mile in 2:0;;%. was again low ?red by Prince Alert today, when he covered the track in 2:02. The 2:04 pace was the great race of the meeting. The ten entries dwindled to three when the starters were called ur. The most important withdrawal »vas that of Search Light, whose owners svcu;d give no reason for their acaon. rhe only staiterr» were Anaconda, who >vas a prohibitive favorite in the pools i.nd books, ar.d Indiana and Piince | Mert. in the first heat, after repeated scoring, Anaconda went away in the cad, but broke badly and fell back. I Prince Alert then won with ease. Ana- j *onda was so far back that McHenry i jras forced to drive him at least three- j iuarlers of the mile in 1:35 tq save his iistance. Walker could easily have dis- ■ anced him as it was, but he held Prince Mert in, finishing the mile in 2:08. In the second heat Prince Alert rushed o the front, going the quarter in 'M seconds, and the half In 1:01%. Then McHenry began to drive Anaconda. The hree-quarttis was reached in 1:31"*. Both horses came down the stretch like he wind. Walker did not touch Prince \lert with the whip until he was within 'our or five lengths of the wire. On the >ther hand. McHenry was doing every thing in his power to push Anaconda to :he front. The two pacers went under he wire so close together thaf-Briny >f the spectators thought Anaconda had » ron. The .ludges however, gave the leat to Prince Alert, and marked up :he time as 2:02. In the 2:IS trot Palm Leaf was thefa ■ orite, but It took Beven heats to decide who was th>> victor.

Her hull and deck were stove In and the glue loosened In the mast braces, bui apparently sin- has ! been repaired so well that possibly she is faster than her old records. The cicw \vh<> assisted In the interest ing run yesterday wen ; Merrill, Ring, Ogden and Abbott. It was a spectacular race from the start to the finish, an hour and a quarter later. Among the distinguished visitors was Judge Mitchell, of the Bupreme j court. In spiie of tlie fad that the chal lengers were not expected to pul In an appearance, and heavy cloud? hunn over head in an oppressive Cttfcn, Quite a num ber of yachting enthusiasts and their friends, went out to the Dellwood club house to view the regular Saturday aft ernoon regatta. Nothing daunted b unfavorable weather prevailing, an un usual fleet of water craft had pulled up i" the club dock, The threatening sky and placid water seemed likeij to pui a finish within the time limit compli oui of the question, hui later the air commenced to stir a little from a west erly direction upon tin- approach of sev eral heavy, windy-looking clouds, and the starters. Messrs? Tarbox and - iclt encouraged and warned the boats of the approach ->f the time for the first of tlie signal nuns. The preparatory J*un wae fired at pre cisely '■'•:2<>. and before one had cast louse. The course was a lit tle shorter than usual, to center buoy, to Wildwood. to <'i<:rk street, to center and home. Instead of the ordinary eight-knot < ourse. This change made a six-knot run, which cut the handicaps allowed to the Goltin. Jennie and Brittannia down to six minutes' allowance. The sloop Spindrift made her maiden trial and succeeded very well. When the crew nHm a little more familiar with her eccentricities she may make trouble In the open Has?, she is modeled a trifle broader than speed requires being built more for a pleasure boal than a rac ing machine. Her builder and designer Amundson, has had her construction un der way some time, i>umiji^ her together for H. S. Skinner. Her owner sailed her yesterday, with Taylor and the Ap plet,,ns as a crew. The racing sternal for t*e open class was fired at 3:30 and the Britannia got across the line half * mlnut< fcater close ly followed hj Spindrift and Jennie The wind had risen to fourteen knots and they wenl down the hay In a string at a clipping pace.
