Claimed That He Did Not Mind the Punching and That He Could Have Continued Indefinitely. Captain Gaffney of the Ninth Police Di"v trict served as informal referee In the bout at the West End Club last evening', calling the contest to a halt after O'Brien liad battered Carter about the rlnfr for two rounds and a half. O'Brien received the verdict, upon this interruption, from Referee Sliarpc. AlthouRh O'Brien well deserved the de cision after the respective showing of the men, about as violently perturbed a. pugil ist as could be found within the United States, was his opponent. Carter pro tested vigorously from the moment he was led to his comer, claiminc; that he absorbed all such small matters as knock downs In the course of the bout. So far as the battle was concerned. It was a series of quick, snappy hooks and punches by O'Brien, landing on any por tion of Carter's! face and body he chose to place them. O'Brien fought as if it was a six-round go and floored Carter three times In the second round. Starting from the tap of the goner, O'Brien took the aggressive, feinted rapidly for a moment and cut loose with three rapid lefts and rights, which Jolted Carter In tho face. A few more Jolts to face and body completed the blows landed be fore Carter nude a ponderous swipe In Jack's direction. O'Brien side-stePDed with ease and hooked his man savagely until Carter was reeling around the ropes. Early in this round, a quick left to Car ter's nose brought the blood in a stream and he presented a grewsome appearance In a few moments. O'Brien gave him no rest, hooked him on the face and Jaw with rapid rights and lefts and ended the round without a single blow of moment having reached him. Carter made desperate efforts in the second to land a right or left swing, send ing his arms out wlldlv and alternately. O'Brien stepped In and out with bis quick punches, twice sprinting around the end of tho ring to get out of a. place seem ingly tight. POLICE INTERFERENCE. Half way through the round, after each man had been cautioned for apparent use of his elbows, and after O'Brien had been warned for diving into clinches, head first, in a manner which brought com ment from Carter's corner. Jack sent over a savage left which sent Carter crashing to the floor. He rose on the count of nine, floundered to the ropes on the ad joining side of the ring and was promptly sent down again by a savage blow to the Jaw. Once more arising, he was floored on the opposite side by another punch to tbe mouth, and the gong rang soon after he had pained his feet. Tlie third round 'was short and sharp. O'Brien landed fiercely and repeatedly, showing signs of tho pace he had been setting, while Carter earned encouraging cries from the crowd from the desperate manner in which he nas trying to lar.d with his richt in clinches. Twice he- sent in blows which seemed to make O'Brien draw back, but midway through the round a right 1olt sent him sprawling' to the floor, badly dazed. As Referee Sharps started to toll off the count. Captain Gaffney rose and mo tioned to' him. ordering him to stop the light. Shnrpe gave O'Brien the decision. The winner seemed tired from h!3 exer tions. Carter was lea to mi corner, nan the blood sponged from his face and body, and then entered Into denunciations of the manner in 'which the llgbt had been stopped. 'O'Brien wasn't hurting me," ho claimed. "That blood was coming from my nose, and I was merely getting my breath when I stayed down. He Itept overbalancing me with his punches, but he wasn't doing me any harm. Ruhlln did tho same to me for three rounds, and big- COOK cured in 2 to 10 ay. without the uae of poi sonous druca.

By outplaying them at every angle of tlie game, the St. Louis CardinaQ de feated the Cincinnati Reds at League Park yesterday afternoon by a score of 6 to IL At no stage of the proceedings were the Reds in the hunt. "Old Reliable" Jack Taylor had Kcllcy's kids on his staff, and their vicious swipes tcsulted In but four safe hits distributed over three innings. TaIor displayed his usual good form. He had the proper speed and his wide curves made tho Cincinnati hitters look ike a half-dollar robbed of two dimes. Walker, who twirled for the "Reds," was hit freely. The Cardinals took to his offerings from the Jump, and made one or more hits in each Inning, except the seventh, when two of them received free transportation to first base over the "Big Four ball" route. FARRELL BATTED WELL. Johnnie Karrell was the chief hero with the willow. He made four safe hits. In cluding a double, and scored three runs. The "Reds" have not their full playing force with them this time, Steinfeidt and Seymour being absent. With the team . they had on the field they plajed fairly well, but will have to do much better to stay In the flr.st division. Humor In chunks was Injected Into tne game it the seventh inning, when Beck ley scored on two errors and a pastd ball, Donlln, Woodruff and Schlel each making breaks Prettv catches by Smoot and Shay wcro the fielding features of the day. In the ,-econd Inning the Apostle cap tured Schlei's hard rap to right center, aftera hard sprint. Shay's effort came in the third Inning, when he pulled in Kelly's hard line over second, doubling Donlln on the play. The "Reds" got busy in the opening ses sion, singles by Dunlin and Keiley and Odwell's long fly to Shannon giving them a run. A base on balls to Miller Hugglns and Donlin's two-bagger netted the visitors another taliv in tlie third Inning. CARDINALS TAKE LEAD. F.irrell's single. Shannon's sacrifico and Beckley's double gave the local? a pair of tallies In their half or the third in ning. An error by Corcoran on Farrell's easy grounder. Shannon's single. Smoot's sac rifice and Beckley's safe rap gave the lo cals a run In the fifth. bingles by Burke and Byers and Tay lor's long fly to left field gave the Cardi nals their fourth tally of the day In the sixth Inning. Donlln boxed a one-round draw with Beckley's high fly In the seventh. Schlel missed one of Walker's shoots and Wood ruff added ginger to the comedy by miss ing the throw to head Jacob off third. Farrell's fourth single, a passed ball by Schlel and Shannon's single gave the lo cals their last tally in the eighth inning. The score: ST. LOUIS. Name. AB. R. II. o. A. E.

"Your Money's Worth or Money Back." I PRESIDENTS WOULD BANISH PROFESSIONAL COACHING. ITnlrerslty Men In Conference Decide Their Pnplla Are Bearlnnlnar to Pay Less Attention to Stndy. Rnpi'm.ir special Columbia, Mo April 2S. The conference of university presidents closed to-tlny after s. heated discussion as to the position ath letics should take In university life. Sev eral of the presidents were of the opinion that athletics were being made too much of. and tbat the professional coaching sys tem should be done away with. Stricter rules for the prevention of pro fessionalism were recommended. It was the almost unanimous decision of the presidents that all college athletics should be brought under university control. The idea of charging all students a fee for the support of athletics was discussed favor ably. The fact that Western university stu dents are gradually adopting the methods of life, an dindlfference to study, of the Eastern universities, was cause for some ilLscusslon. It was generally admitted that Western university students were growing less studious, but the discussion did not result In the adoption of any effective means to preserve the old Western uni versity spirit In regard to study.

Masterpiece' Shines Witt EaTnlirent Glory at Teat ' Last Evening;. ; Cass Gilbert's beautiful raasterplce. Festival Hall, was a blaze of light last night. For the first time since It reared Its stately dome on Art Hill,' the dome which is said to be larger than any other In tho world, not excepting that of "St. Peter's In Home, It figured In the general illumination of tho "Exposition palaces, which was on last night for the last, time before tlie opening of the Fair. Last night's Illumination was the most complete of the several since tho comple tion of the lighting effects on the build ings. While every exhibit palace In the grounds 'had previously had a test of the lighting It was not until last night that Festival Hall was illuminated. The lighting of tho crowning piece of architecture In tbe main picture of tho Exposition added Immeasurably to the general effect. The great circular struc ture on the topmost part of Art Hill stood forth against the shadows of the night, a circle of light from top to bottom. From Its baso flowed a stream of light made up of many Incandescent lamps on the runways and falls of the cascades. At the very summit of the dome, whereon stands the gilded figure of Miss Longman's "Victory." glowed a mass of lights. From that point to the base of the dome was shadow. Around the base ot the huge dome was a circular rim of lights, broken at intervals by solid circles of light, which flamed like Immense eyes. The beautlfnl lines of the rest of the building were brought out vividly by the myriads ci lights. The Colonnade of States and tbe two restaurant pavilions nankins it at cither end were also illuminated, as wcro the sldo and center cascades. The duel in tho dark was a favor ite with duelists. Two men locked in a dark room and crawled stealthily from corner to corner; until some false step made one of them the target for bullet or blade. Life u a duel in the dark with disease. One false step, one mistake, and the attack comes swift and sodden., The mistake which commonly opens the way for an attack by disease is neglect of the symptoms of stomach tremble. When eating is followed by undue full ness, belchings, sour or bitter risings, etc., disease is attacking the stomach. The best way to frustrate such an at tack is to use Dr. Pierce's Golden Med ical Discovery. It cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion, and nutrition, and makes the body strong and healthy. " I was sui&ring very mnca with my bead anol atomach." writes Mrs. W. C Gill, of Weklon. Shelby. Co.. Ala., "head was so dizzy when r would raise np in bed would fall right back. Could eat but very little. In fact scarcely any thing;, there seemed to be a heavy weight in toy, Srrwnarri so I could not 'rest: I had IOKK :lcriery. eaten and would vomit up nearly ut nearly everrt thing 1 ate. I was ia a bad condition. I took four bot- ties of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and are of his ' Favorite Pmcriptioa ' and ana bow well and hearty. I feel like a new woman, and give Dr. Pierce's medicines credit for it alL I bad taken medicine from physicians without any benefit as I could see."
