SPORTINGNEWS.
Great Interest Exhibited in the
Coining Battle .
Between Frank Erne and Fight
ing Terry McGoTern.
BILLED FOR JULT 16.
Brooklyn Lad Has AH the Best
of the Conditions
In "Weight and Terms of Bout
Both Are Confident.
New York, July 10. One of the most
novel pugilistic attractions ever arranged
by an athletic club la the ten-round eon-
teat between Frank Erne, light-weight
champion, and "Terry" McGovern, feath
erweight champion, scheduled to take
place under the auspices of the Twentieth
Century Athletic club, at Madison Square
Garden, ore July 16. No former feather
weight or lightweight champions have
ever been matched and there is much
speculation as to the. outcome of the
meeting between McGovern and Erne.
Of the two men Erne has the greater
task before him. The light champion has
agreed to knock McGovern out inside of
ten rounds. At 133 pounds, his normal
fighting weight. Erne would likely be an
overwhelming favorite, but as he fights
McGovern at 12S pounds many guod
judges have expressed the opinion that
the Buffalo pugilist has undertaken too
great a task.
Erne dues not think so. He is confident
that he can be strong and light just as
well at 125 pounds as he can at l-si pounds.
There is no doubt of McGovern's ability
to make the desired weight without im
pairing his strength. On paper the little
Brookivn boy seems to have all the bet
ter of the match. That McGovern is un
willing to take any chances in training
for the fight, however, is evidenced by ttie
fact that he has engaged George MeFad
den, a local light weight of considerable
prominence and a boxer whom Erne has
fought shv of, as his sparring partner.
McFadden will begin his sparring bouts
with McGovern tomorrow at the feather
weight champion's training quarters in
Jerome avenue. McFadden is a very
shifty two-handed lighter and one of the
best blockers in the prize ring today.
With such a clever man to work with
him McGovern ought to improve over his
usual condition.
McGovern is doing all his work with the
understanding that the tight with Erne
will be one of the hardest he has ever
had and so will leave nothing to luck.
Erne is doing faithful work at Fair Haven
on the Shrewsbury, and with the help of
his sparring partners is gradually reduc
ing his weight to ISs pounds. If the light
weight champion is successful against Mc
Govern, he intends to visit England and
meet the best men the National Sporting
club can find.
There is quite a difference in the ring
methods of Erne and McGovern. Erne,
who is remarkably clever, depends more
on scientific tactics to score a victory than
hard blows. He can hit effectively, how
ever, but it is really his generalship and
cleverness that win battles for him. Mc
Govern, while fairlv clever, represents the
slugger type of tighter. He relies very
largely on swift rushes and hard blows
to win. rather than scientific methods.
That McGovern and Erne will make a
great battle no one who has followed the
careers of the two men in the prize ring
doubts, and the winner will certainly
know that he has been fighting when it is
all over.
The Twentieth Century Athletic club Is
making every possible preparation for the
accommodations of an enormous crowd
on the night of the battle. The seating
arrangements of Madison Square Garden
have been changed and the total seating
capacitv is now 14,000.
BOTH FIGHTERS CONFIDENT.
"I don't see any reason why I should
not stop Erne, let alone nis stopping me.
I'm strong and tit as a fiddle. Erne will
find he has undertaken much more than
he can handle when he tries to put me
out in ten rounds." Terry McGovern.
"I'm going to get down to 128 pounds
if I have to saw one of my legs off. I'm
no bigger than I was three years ago and
I see no reason why I should not make
the weight. At any rate, I intend to work
as I never worked before, and my friends
can rest assured that I'll face the Brook
lyn boy in first-class shape." Frank
Erne.
NOT MUCH BETTING.
It Is an extremely hard task to get any
of the well known followers of the ring
to express on opinion on the result of the
fight. Erne naturally has a large fol
lowing, but it seems that his backers are
afraid to stake their money on a possible
knockout.
McGovern's followers are not betting
much at present because the odds are not
what they desire. The men who follow
"Terrible Terry" imagine that Erne's
friends should give at least 2 to 1 that
Erne will win.
McGovern has absolutelv nothing to loe
in his fight with Erne. Should he be de
feated lie still remains the bantam and
feather weight champion. Many seem to
think that Erne made a great mistake in
signing to meet McGovern.
JEFF-EUHLIN BOUT OFF.
Fitzsimmons and Ruhlin Will Now
Fight in Early August
New Tork. Julv 10. James J. Jeffries
will not fight Gus Ruhlin. This decision
was reached last evening at a meeting at
which fighters, managers and stockhold
ers were presnt.
jertnes' injured arm is at present in
bandages and the elbow Joint is under
the treatment of a physician. When the
fighters met each side thought that a
match would be made and a date set for
some nieht in August. Al Smith held
$2,500 of the champion's money and was
readv to receive a like amount from Ruh
lin as a forfeit. Ruhlin was ready to put
up the money, but refused to do so when
he round that tnere was a condition at
tached to Jeffries' forfeit money. He
would fight on any date provided his arm
was well enough, but it not tne turieit
money was to come down. Ruhlin and
hi .niiinjitrer refused to enter into an
agreement of the kind. They said: "Make
the match, put up a loneit and h ior any
reason either man fans to enter tne ring
on the given date let the other take the
forfeit."
No satisfactory agreement could be
reached.
Swine- no chance to fiirht for the cham
pionship. Madden and Ruhlin turned their
attention to making a matcn witn me
next best man. Bob Filzsimmons. They
met with immediate success. Fitzsimmons
wanted a fight and next to Jeffries, would
rather fight Ruhlin than anybody. He was
readv to talk business at once and today
the men will meet and arrange the details
of the fight. As for the date. Ruhlin is
ready to tight at any time, the sooner the
better, and Fitzsimmons wants the battle
to come off in the first week of August.
Fitzsimmons will begin training at once
for the bout.
Jeffries says that he thinks his arm will
be ready for ring use by August 15, and
if Ruhlin beats Fitzsimmons and wants
a tight with him between that time and
September 1 he can get it. He also says
that when fighting is stopped in this state
he will 1 erht in California or Nevada.
The club offering the biggest purse or
the greatest percentage of the gate re
ceipts will get the Ruhlin-Fitzsimmons
tight.

WHITNEY'S BREEDING STOCK
Will Be Removed From Kentucky to
Stoney Ford Farm.
New Tork, July 10. The famous Sto
ney Ford stud farm, near Middletown,
N. Y., has been purchased by WTilllam
C. Whitney. He will breed thorough
breds on the pastures over which have
roamed some of the greatest trotters
and producers in this country.
Lovers of horseflesh everywhere were
interested in the announcement today.
It was known that Mr. Wrhitney had
been trying for a year and a half to se
cure the farm. The recent death of the
owner, Charles Bachman, cleared the
way for the formal transfer, and Mr.
Whitney will take possession immedi
ately. Mr. Whitney's stallions and brood
mares are now at H. P. Headley's La
Belle stud in Kentucky. He will send
them to Stoney Ford farm as soon as
possible. Among them are the imported
stallion Meddler, the native stallion Lis
sak and about 50 brood mares.
Gen. Benjamin F. Tracy has had pos
session of the farm for some time and
has had a number of high-bred trotting
mares and several stallions there. A
special arrangement has been made
with Mr. Whitney by which Gen. Tracy
wiil be allowed to keep the animals
there.
The Stoney Ford farm is known
throughout the world on account of the
famous horses bred there. It consists
of about 700 acres of land.
ROOT AND O'BRIEN
Will Meet at Tattersall's in Chicago
Tonight
Chicago, July 10 Jack Root will make
his first appearance in Chicago since
last February tonight at Tattersall's.
The western champion will face the
hard-hitting and willing Dick O'Brien
of Lewiston, Me. Since Root's last ap
pearance here the middle weight has
gathered a deal of experience. His four
weeks' work with Sharkey and with
Fitzsimmons in the east must have ben
efited Jack a lot. In a talk with the
writer recently in New York Fitzsim
mons made the statement that he had
never seen a man grow so strong and
speedy in a twelvemonth as Root.
"When I first started off with Jack
this last trip," explained Fltzaimmans,
"it took me a couple of days to realize
that I had not gone back, but that Jack
had come forward. In hitting power,
foot work, and feinting he has improved
100 per cent."
Root's opponent is no mere tyro at
the game. He stood up under grueling
punishment to Tommy Ryan for 14
rounds, and went over the same distance
of ground with Joe Walcott. Aside from
these two engagements, O'Brien twice
fought "Kid" McCoy, once getting a 25
round draw out of the Hoosier, and los
ing to McCoy two years later in a 10
round bout. O'Brien's most notable
achievement, possibly, was his jig-time
win over Frank Craig, the "Coffee Cool
er." He scored a knock-out on Craig in
five minutes' boxing.
FUNDS FOR COACH WARD.
Alumni of Pennsylvania Arrange to
Buy Him a Home.
Philadelphia, Pa., July 10. Alumni of
the University of Pennsylvania have
opened a subscription list for the pur
chasing of a home for Ellis F. Ward,
the coach of Pennsylvania's crew. One
graduate has contributed S100 and oth
ers have pledged lesser amounts. Ward
is known as the father of rowing at
Pennsylvania. At that institution he
is ranked above Courtney, to whom
Cornell presented a beautiful home.
TO STUDY AMERICAN CRAFT.
Sir Thomas Lipton's Skipper Starts
For New York to Study Sailing
Conditions.
London, July 30. The yachting corre
spondent telegraphs from Liverpool:
"Captain Sycamore, skipper of Sir
Thomas Lipton's proposed Watson de
signed cup challenger, sailed today for
New York to study American craft sail
ing conditions.
"I watched the Sybarita, Watson's
latest yacht, at the Kiel races, and was
unfavorably impressed. It is Valkyrie
HI over again, with all its defects, and
was r.o match for the Kaiser's Meteor
in any weight of wind. Wratson's designs
are receding rather than progressing."
MACK DISCIPLINES HUSTING.
Milwaukee Pitcher Wanted More Sal
ary and Was Laid OS.
Milwaukee, Wis., July 10. Pete Hust
ing, the crack Wisconsin university
pitcher of the Milwaukee team, is out of
the game for the season. Not because
he wanted to be, but because Manager
Mack found it necessary to teach him a
lesson. Husting has been pitching grand
ball, and was counted next to Dowling,
who is admittedly the star of the league.
When he got his salary today he went
to Mack and told him $150 a month was
not enough; he wanted more. "That is
what you agreed to play for, isn't it?"
asked Mack.
"Yes, but I'm worth more now. I want
a raise or I won't pitch."
"All right, you don't pitch then," said
Mack, and he means it. Mack won't
release him, he cannot go anywhere else
and Mack Bays he will spend $1,000 for a
new man before he will allow Husting
to earn another cent this season.
DROPS FIGHT ON SUNDAY BAIL
Good Government League of Detroit
Is Worsted in the Contest
Detroit, Mich., July 10. The Good
Government league, which has been
fighting Sunday baseball in Detroit, has
given up the job. Sheriff Stewart send
ing its officers an ultimatum stating
that he "will not interfere with such
nice fellows as Burns and Stallings."
The supreme court recently decided that
it was the duty of the sheriff to enforce
the law. The league proposed to manda
mus the club, but this would be carried
to the supreme court and the delay
would outlast the baseball season.
The fine on conviction is only $10 and,
in view of Stewart's refusal to inter
fere, the league admits that no good
could be accomplished by continuing
the fight. Sunday baseball In Detroit is
well supported.
Attendance at Ball Games.
New Tork, July 10. Over 1,000,000 peo
ple have paid to witness league games
up to date. The figures given out make
the number 1,070.000. This will amount in
money to $400,000.By the time the league
has played one-half the season they
will have taken in money enough to
pay the running expenses for the year,
that is if the money would be divided up
into eight equal parts, giving each club
about $58,000. As it is. Pittsburg and
Philadelphia have been the big winners,
while Boston and Chicago are on Easy
street. St. Louis and Brooklyn are sure
of a handsome profit. Cincinnati will
make something, and New York will be
a good big loser again. As a whole the
big league should clear over $300,000 this
season.
Did Robison Get an Injunction?
Pittsburg. Pa., July 10. Followers of
baseball here are watching with interest
the trouble Barney Dreyfus and Frank
De Haas Robison are having over the
purchase of O'Connor. Many believe
the St. Louis owner has secured an in
junction preventing the big catcher
from- playing. The trip of the local
team to St. Louis may result in some
solution of the difficulty, and the team's
return is anxiously awaited. Zimmer
is doing most of the catching for the
locals, while O'Connor remains on the
Dencn.
The League Pennant Race.
New York, July 10. A well known

Wellington Gold Seekers Reach
Cape Nome Safely.
Several Letters Are Received
by "Home Folks."
IN HARBOR JUNE 20.
Meal of Beans, Bread and Coffee
Cost a Dollar.
Wages Are 810 Per Day and
With Team $10 Hourly.
Flour is $8 Per Hundred and
Bread 25 Cents a Loaf.
Wellington, July 10. The wives of the
Cape Nome gold hunters received letters
last night which were mailed from Cape
Nome June 21. The Centennial, on
which the party sailed, discharged her
cargo of passengers the 20th. She was
still engaged in unloading her' freight
when the letters to Wellington relatives
were mailed.
Elmer Layne, writing to his wife says
he is camped near the beach at Nome,
and is enjoying good health. He says
that A. Murphy is suffering with chilis
and fever and looks bad, and that Joe
Piatt is not well and has a bad case of
blues. The health of the rest of the
Wellington crowd is not spoken of, but
they are all supposed to be well.
The Centennial left Dutch Harbor the
14th and reached Nome the 20th, con
suming seven days in making the trip.
The voyage was much pleasanter than
they expected, the sea above the Aleu
ian islands being quite calm. Lots of ice
was encountered above Dutch Harbor.
There were 22 vessels in the harbor at
Nome when the Centennial arrived.
At Nome, bread sells for 25 cents a
loaf. Meals cost $1 each. Lumber enough
to make a tent pole cost him $2.50. Nome
is a larger place than they expected to
find, and the number of people there is
surprising. The beach are all taken up,
and the Wellington people will have to
go a good ways Inland to get claims.
The country at Nome is level, and rises
gradually back from the sea to the
mountains. Lawlessness is rampant at
Nome. The night the Centennial pulled
into the harbor, two men got to quarrel
ing over a lot, and both were shot and
killed. The next night another man was
killed in a quarrel. The government
boat had not arrived and little law was
enforced except by common consent.
The sun is still above the horizon at
10:30 p. m . At 1:30 a. m., it is as light
at Nome as at 12 o'clock at Wellington
on a cloudy day. Wages are about $10
per day, and a man and team gets $10
per hour and has all the work he want3
at that rate. We found a good many
vessels here that succeeded In getting
through the ice and lots of people, many
of them from the Klondike, that came
over the ice and beat us in here two
weeks.
Prices of everything are high; flour
$8 per hundred pounds; coffee 50 cents
to $1.25 per pound; butter 50 cents per
pound; bread 25 cents a loaf, and lum
ber too high to look at.
One writer says:
There are now on the ground 20,000
human beings and probably as many
more five or six miles out of town. This
is a city of tents and there are many
hundred thousand dollars worth of mer
chandise and machinery piled for miles
along the beach. Seems as though the
whole world has gone crazy and I am
sure that we will have to go at least
three miles to find room to put up our
tents. The country is over-estimated in
my opinion and the whole tract for
miles is taken up, but has not been
worked to any extent on account of the
cold weather.
Wre can only expect to work here
about 90 days at best. It is still frozen
and only thaws out about three to four
feet in what is known as the summer
season.
One night about ten days ago we were
within 34 miles of Cape Nome but were
driven back by the ice almost to the
Arctic ocean.

A PHILIPPINE SOLDIER
Thinks the Filipinos Not Fit Sub
jects For Civilization.
Burlington, July. 10. Otto Kirkbride
has written home from Luzon. He
eays: "I tell you I am no longer an
expansionist. I think there will be an
insurrection here twenty-five years
from now. The natives are not civil
ized, and they will always fight. They
pursue no course of civilized warfare,
and it will be a great task to civilize
them. It will require an army of 75,000
men to be retained here."

fered Dr. Swensson is considered to be
the most honorable and influential in
the gift of the church.
Bethany college is only nineteen years
old, has forged to the front most won
derfully, had 650 students last year,
and has improved financially most sat
isfactorily during the past four years,
but it is as yet practically unendowed.
Dr. Swensson feels that it would be an
injustice to Bethany to leave her, his
own child, now and go into the service
of a rival institution. The citizens, the
college board, the faculty, the students,
his congregation, all have implored him
to remain, extending to him the most
eloquent tributes of respect, love .and
confidence.
