Terry McGovern and Frank
Erne Matched at last.
To
Fight July 16 at Madison
Square Garden,
A BOUT OF TEN ROUNDS
To Weigh in at IUngside at 128
Pounds Each,
Light Weight Must Stop Feather
Weight Before Limit.
New Tork, June 26. Frank Erne and
Terry McGovern have a,t last settled all
the conditions for a match and will meet
before th Twentieth Century Athletic
club at Madison Square farden on July
lj in a ten-round bout. After spending
several-weeks in haggling over the terms
of the match, the fighters came to an
agreement yesterday- and signed articles.
The articles call for a ten-round bout at
lcs pounds at the ring side, and Erne un
dertakes to knock Terry out before the
limit has been reached or lose the de
cision. The winner is to take the whole
purse. More than two weeks were spent
over a difference of one pound, McGov
ern holding out for the weight at which
the match was made, while Erne wanted
to tight at 129 pounds.
Only a short time ago it was reported
I-rne had difficulty in making 133 pound.-.
1' those reports were true, how is he go
ing to get down to 128 and remain strong?
l-'rank is long on science and ring gen
eralship, but a bit short on hitting pow
ers. Not that he cannot hit hard enough
for ail purposes, but he never meandered
fa round with a chip on his shoulder as a
JviiLK'kerout. True, he put some of his
opponents down for the count, but not
until after he had almost battered them
Into submission.
In "Terry" he will meet a boy with a
face and jaw callous to punches. One
that cari and will wade in with head
ilown, jaws firmly set, ready and willing
to exchange blow for blow, He can rip
ip into the stomach with either hand
and never overlooks an opportunity to slip
a ft-w over on the jaw. He carries steam
enough behind his blows to compel any
lightweight to take the floor for a count
of ten. He is a knockerout in every sense
of the word, and that is more than, can
be said of Erne.
Such being the case McGovern's chance
of scoring a knockout is the better even
though tiie conditions call for Erne to do
the trick.
It will be a treat to followers of pugil
ism to see "Twry" acting the defensive
jart in a fight. He hns always been up
tuid after his opponents to put them away
in as quick time as possible, and will be
tip in Uh air should he attempt other
t iCtics. If the makers of the match and
th public are of the opinion that Mc-
Invern is giving any weight away to
3ano it. would be just as well for them
to disillusionize- themselves. Erne will
have considerable trouble in making 128
pounds. McGovern would have quite a
bother in coming in at less than the
weight h greed upon. It is a question
.whether there will be over a pound's dif
1'Tenee K-tween the pair when they meet
and so far as handicapping Erne is con
cerned the impost should be the other
way. At 128 pounds McGovern has as
much of a chance as Erne,
WILL GO CAMPING.
Jim Jeffries and Sam Humble Have a
Trip Arranged.
Columbus. O., June 2S. Champion Jim
Je?trU;.s appeared before a crowd of 1.5UU
people as an umpire at the Interstate
h-ague ball grounds. After the game he
put In the evening in visiting relatives in
this city, whose name is legion. He was
born in Fairfield counts, not far distant,
ii ml many members of his family have
since emigrated to Columbus. About the
middle of July he will return to this city
and spend several weeks in visiting his
old home and getting acquainted with his
relatives. On this trip his mother and
Ktster, now in California, will accompany
him. and at least one week will be spent
Su a camping trip with Detective S. B.
H umble, of this city, together with a
party of Columbus friends.
Jeffries, through- his manager, Mr.
O'Neil, expressed his willingness to fight
any one at any time. His hands are now
in perfect condition, and his arm, which
has been In a cast ever since his last
fitrht. has regained the former vigor. He
broke a small tendon in his left elbow in
his right with Fitzsimmons, and during
his fight with Corbet t he was unable to
use this arm properly. His physician
placed it in a plaster cast, and it has
retrained tone, so that now the cast may
be ripped off whenever it is desirable to
do so. Owing to this temporary disable
ment he has been unable to keep up his
dumb-bell work and boxing, but declares
that he never felt better in his life than
now. After he finishes his vacation in
this city he will go east to rehearse for
his part in the play which Brady is now
having written for him. and in which he
takes the part of a western sheriff,
in a talk with a partv of friends Jef

were considered the best of their day had

which left them in most instances with
neither monuy nor health. He declares

MIKE DONXIN CUT.
Guyed an Old Gentleman and Was At
tacked by a Young One.
St. Louis, June 26. Mike Donlin, the
present center fielder of the St. Louis
baseball team, has a badly cut face to
show for some uncalled for boisterous
ness on his part in "joshing" an elderly
gentleman with whiskers, name un
known, and a cardinal-topped youth,
also unknown.
It all happened close to the hour of
3 o'clock yesterday morning, when Don
lin and another member of the local
team, believed to have been Pitcher Gus
Weyhing, were enjoying themselves in
a saloon at Eighteenth street and Wash
ington avenue. The ball players, ac
cording to Detectives Zeigler and Brady,
who have since worked on the case,
were strictly sober and had been out for
a quiet time. They were in the best of
humor and while waiting for the owl
car to come along entered the saloon.
They were feeling good, not gay, it is
said, and when the elderly man with
the profuse whiskers was noticed Don
lin centered his remarks on him. "What
a treat for the wind," and "The 'old
boy's' got his face fenced in," were some
of Mike's witty remarks. Apparently
with a desire to avoid trouble, the old
gentleman left the tavern, followed L.'
the youth with the raven locks.
Donlin and the pitcher followed the
pair out, and Mike continued his re
marks. Then the youth, who had all
thistimekept in the background, sudden
ly drew a knife and whipped it across
Donlin's face. Mike fell to the sidewalk
and took the count before the pitcher
could revive him. Immediately the
elderly gentleman and the youth de
parted, leaving the two players together.
Donlin was led to the city hospital,
where his face was dressed.
CHAMPION ATHLETE3.
Some of the American Men Who Will
Contest in Europe.
During the past week there sailed
from America 25 as fine athletes as ever
trod a cinder path. They represented
various colleges and universities in the
east and west, and were but a portion
of the quota of American athletes who
are going abroad to carry America's
colors to the front in the English cham
pionships and the Olympic games.
The plan of both the Pennsylvania
and Princeton teams Is to appear in
but the London championships and in
the Olympic games. The others will
content themselves with the Paris
events.
When the personnel of the American
representation is considered it will be
found that it is well worthy of consid
eration. It contains the holders of
eight world's records and no less than
six American champions.
The principal star and main depen
dence of the American team is Alvin C.
Kraenzlein. In form there can be no
question but that Kraenzlein is the su
perior of any hurdler and broad jumper
in the world, while as a sprinter it is
doubtful if many excel him. Kraenz
lein will be counted on to win at least
three events abroad, and possibly more,
while he may win as many as six.
RYAN-DONAHUE FEUD.
Chicago Catcher Says He Will Retire
From the Club if the Captain Will.
Chicago, June 26. "If I am a disturb
ing element in the Chicago baseball
team I am willing to get out. As to
whether Ryan or me has been the
knocker in the team you can find out
from Captain Anson or Tom Burns. I
want to say right now that if Ryan will
agree to leave the team I will. WTe will
both get out. He's better fixed than I
am and can afford to quit baseball bet
ter than I can, but I'll promise to cut
the business if he will. Ryan told me
when the team was in Boston not long
ago that I was in line to be traded.
That was the first I heard of the matter.
I never had a word with Ryan in a
quarrelsome way, but we don't agree,
that's a cinch."
This was the substance of Timothy
Donahue's statement respecting the al
leged difficulties between himself and
Captain James Ryan. Tim pleaded that
he wished in all statements to be con
servative, but that if it narrowed down
to a question as to whether he or Ryan
had been the disruptionist in the team,
he could bring proof for his side.
"Ryan broke into print with the state
ment that he would not play ball on the
same team with me any longer. Thai
makes me sore. I don't care what Ryan
thinks of me privately, but I don't like
him to get into the newspapers with a
wallop. I never said anything for pub
lication against him."
BURNS TALKS
About His Meeting With President
Johnson at Indianapolis.
Detroit, Mich., June 26. President
Jimmy Burns has reached home from
Chicago, where he finished his confer
ence with President Johnson. Not find
ing that official there, he went on to In
dianapolis, where he overhauled him.and
alter a talk on Wednesday they re
traced their steps to Chicago.
"I laid the matter before him in a
manner a little different from other
kicks he has received," said Burns. "I
told him what I thought and what ev
erybody here believed to be true, that
we were being discriminated against. I
left no room for a misunderstandin
between us, and am satisfied that I did
not hurt the team any by seeing him.
That Burn3 accomplishd something is
shown by the fact that Elberfeld was
not suspended forSdays after he was put
out of the game by Dwyer, as the
league president said would be the case
on the third offense.
KID LAVIGNE ARRESTED.
The Ex-Lightweight Gets Into Jail
For Assaulting a 'Woman.
New York, June 26. A Paris cable to
the Journal says:
"Kid Lavigne, the prize fighter from
Saginaw, Mich., has been painting Paris
lurid lately. Not finding any men to
fight he set upon a poor little French
woman. "With her eyes black, her face
bleeding, she entered the United States
consulate and said Lavigne had beaten
her, but all she wanted was that he be
sent back to Saginaw, where he might
be out of temptation and do better.
Consul General Gowdy persuaded her to
have the 'Kid' arrested, and he is now
in the bands of the police."
TWIELEE PETTINGER
And Jack Barry Fanned Out by Bos
tonOther Matters.
Boston, June 26 Pettinger, the young
Boston pitcher, has been farmed out to
Worcester, as Boston will not carry
over five slab artists. Pettinger is one
of the most promising pitchers seen in
the league for a long time, and there
are several league clubs who could use
him to advantage.
Barry has been loaned to Montreal
until Manager Dooley recovers from his
injury, so that Boston must depend on
Hugh Duffy for in and out field substi
tute. As an infielder Duffy is positively
the poorest in the league. Ted Lewis is
laid up with a bad stone bruise and Bill
Clarke is nursing a lame side.

Wichita, June 26. Eddie Sage, 9 years
old, turned up here today and solved the
mystery of his disappearance two years
ago. He had been kidnaped by a man
and made to beg for him. The man
treated the lad so harshly in Nebraska
that he disregarded threats or being
killed and told the whole story to the
police. Copeland got wind of it and
fled.
Eddie is the son of Thomas Page of
this city, and his father has been hunt
ing for him during the time of his ab
sence, riding thousands of miles on false
trails and spending every dollar he had,
until now he has practically nothing.
The boy is bright, and tells a thrilling
story of his two years' of enforced beg
ging. He said he had collected over
$500 in Denver in small sums. He beg
ged in the state house at Topeka imme
diately after he was kidnaped, and said
he got $13 there one day.
His father's home is now a scene of
great joy, as almost all hope of Eddie
being found had been lost.

WOMEN'S
SECRETS.
There is one man in the United States
who has perhaps heard more women's
secrets than anv other man or woman in
the country, these secrets are not se
crets of guUt or shame, but the secrets of
suffering, and they have been confided
to Dr. R. V. Pierce in the hope and ex
pectation of advice and help. That few
of these women have been disappointed
in their expectations is proved by the
fact that ninety-eight per cent, of all
women treated by Dr. Pierce have been
absolutely and altogether cured. Such a
record would be remarkable if the cases
treated were numbered by hundreds
only. But when that record applies to
the treatment of more than half-a-mil-lion
women, in a practice of over thirty
years, it is phenomenal, and entitles Dr.
Pierce to the gratitude accorded him by
women, and the honor paid him. by the
profession as the first of specialists in
the treatment of women's diseases. -
Every sick woman may consult Dr.
Pierce by letter, absolutely without
charge. Every woman's letter which
contains her secret remains her secret.
It is read in private, answered in private,
and its contents guarded as a sacred con
fidence. That no third party should enter
into this secret, all replies are mailed,
sealed in perfectly plain envelopes, with
