PRODIGAL FIGHTERS
THKIW XAME IS LEGION, AKD
THERE AllE A FEW
OTHERS
FORTUNES ARE SQUANDERED
John Morrissey, Ned Price, Charley
Mitchell and a Few Others
Thought of the Proverbial Rainy
Day Sullivan Leads as a- De-
Miiiyer of the Earnings of the
Ring DeiupMey's Downfall.
Fighters are proverbially prodigal.
There are exceptions to all rules and
a few to this. John L. Sullivan holds
the record as a spendthrift, having
irated himself from fully $500,000,
If iot more, during his meteoric career
In the squared circle. Sullivan did
much good with his money, for many
a dollar of it found its way into char
ity funds, and nol a few hundreds, not
to say thousands, went to keep the
wolf from the doors of those who had
befriended the big fellow In the days
when he was struggling for recognition
and, with it, fame and fortune. Sul
livan wasted thousands in a most
prodigal manner. It was a common
occurrence for him to take a handful
of coins and throw them into the
streets in order that the gamins might
struggle for them. But, with all his
faults, the only John L.'s heart was
in the right place.
HE PITIED KILRAIN.
After the battle at Richburg, Miss.-*,
where Sullivan defeated Jake Kilraln,
the pride of Boston expressed a desire
to do something for his vanquished
foe. He was sorry for the defeated
man. The principals were hurried to
New Orleans, after the fight, and. be
fore Sullivan again met Kilrain, some
of the unfriendly remarks of Charley
Mitchell reached the ears of John L.
Mitchell had been Kilrain's chief es
quire in the Richburg fight, as Kil
rain had been Mitchells at Chantilly.
Sullivan was angry. He was walking
♦^ii^n Canal street, in company with
■uple of friends, when, suddenly,
and without a word of comment, the
Bostonian gladtator ran across the
street and placed something in the
hands of two Little Sisters of the
Poor, who were passing that way.
The good women were greatly surpris
ed to find that the big stranger had
left with each a crisp new $100 bill.
Sullivan had intended thai money for
Kilrain. After disposing of it he said:
"Weil, I feel easier now, and they will
■do better with it than Jake would
have, anyway."
MORRISSEY MADE MONEY.
There is a legend to the effect that
John Morrissey wandered into New
York when a youth of about nineteen
-and drifted up to what is now famous,
, -or notorious, as "The Tenderloin,"
k v:h?re he found the sort of people he
was looking for — fighters — and an
. mur.c-d that he had come to the big
I city "looking for trouble," and did not
care just how quickly it was inaugu
rated. Morrissey had no sooner made
the announcement than he was ac
<.omm<xlated by half a dozen of the
"bad men" who were in the place Mor
. had entered. The countryman
was bested, but he put up such a great
battle against what seemed hopeless
odds that he was taken in hand by
Harry Hill and was soon at the top
of the heap as a bare knuckle fighter.
Morriseey*s career was most remark
able. H<' was sent to congress, and
grew and remained rich. He was al
ways a sivort, but was a man of rare
n-agnetism and respected for his pro-
Hty. He went to New York to make
his fortune. That he never forgot. He
made it and he kept it.
LAWYER NED PRICE.
Handsome Ned Price is another ex
ception to the rule that to be a fighter
means to become a prodigal. Price. was
one of the best at the game of fisticuffs
back in the days when the gloves were
little used. He made money in a quir t
v ay, studied law, became thoroughly
conversant with criminal practice, re
tired from the ring to plead at the
bar, and grew rich ar i respected. Price
could not resist an "go"
with the stars of the ring, and a char
ity affair of that sort invariably found
"Handsome Ned" Price one of the vol
► untetrs. Price has boxed in recent
years with Jem Mace, Bill Clark ("The
Belfast Chicken") and a few other old-
r timers — always, however, "for Sweet
charity's sake." He amassed a consid
erable fortune — and kept it.
MITCHELL IS RICH.
Charley Mitchell once said to the
writer: "I am in this business for
money. I am getting and keeping it.
"When I can make more money in some
other business I shall quit this. I do
rot like fighting. The man who does
isn't much. No man can be a gentle
man and a fighter for money. So soon
as I begin to lose I shall go back to
England with what I have saved. I
can use it there in my business." And
he did. Mitchell is reputed to be
worth in the neighborhood of $100,000.
He is the only one of the English
fighters who can show any money for
what they have done in the ring. A
few of the others may have a few
thousand rounds, but a very few.
Mitchell has a beautiful wife and sev
eral bright daughters, of whom he is
decidedly croud.
DBMPSEY'S DOWNFALL.
Jack Dempsey lost the first really big
rurse far which he contended in all
the more than half a hundred battles in
> "which he was a principal. That was
$12,000, and It was carried off. by Bob
Fitzsimm-ons, and with It came the
downfall of the famous "Nonpareliv
boxer. Dempsey had wedded a beau
tiful girt a few months prior to making 1
the match with Fitzsirrmions. He had
promised her that he would flffht no
more, and when he met Fitzsimmona it
was against her wish and contrary to
his promise. She was a faithful little
woman, however, and went to New Or
leans and nursed and cheered her de
feated husband, preventing, it has been
claimed, the gallant Dempsey from
ending his life by hl3 own hand. Demp
sey never recovered from the defeat.
He went to the bottom of the ladder
like a rocket stick, and died a mental
as well as a physical wreck. He l?ft
no money.
LATTER-DAY BOXERS.
Of the latter-day boxers there are few
who can boast of possessing a goodly
share of what they have earned in the
ring. Corbett is confessedly short of
ready cash. He owns a bit of prop
erty in New York, but the $45,000 that
he received for defeating John L.. Sul
livan and the $25,000 that was his re
ward for being the victor over Charley
Mitchell, at Jacksonville, has disap
peared. These figures do not include
what Corbett earned on the road, nor
in other matches in which he engaged.
Fitzsimmons has a few thousands left,
but he is by no means rich. Peter Ma
her has no money to sneak of. Shar<
key is the possessor of a few thou
sands. Creedon Is "broke." So are a
majority of the boxers who have earn
ed fortunes in the ring. None of tha
old-timers are wealthy. Mace recently
took a benefit, and there are others
who would like to follow suit. The
money comes too easily. It goes easier.
RING GOSSIP.
Jim Oorbett has had himself inter
viewed at Cleveland. Jim says he re
gards Sharkey as much harder game
than McCoy would have been. Per
haps that is the reason Corbett pre
ferred to meet the sailorman? And tho
band played "Annie Laurie."
There seems to be growing confidence
among Tom Sharkey's friends that he
has a chance to get the decision over
Jim Corbett irt their approaching bjut.
Corbett goes to West Baden to rest
up. That is an unlucky plaoo to go.
Half a dozen pugilists have left the
springs to go to defeat or a draw.
It is said that Sharkey has greatly
improved In his boxing-. There is some
thing sO peculiar in this Corbett-Shar
key match that it makes it look easy
for Corbett. Jim cannot afford to lose
to Sharkey. Sharkey can afford to lose
to Corbett. Ergo: Oorbett should win,
it" it is a case of the whichness of the
what.
Corbett refers to McCoy as a "sleek
advertising agent."' And it came to
pass in those days that the kettle call
ed the pot black.
Tom Sharkey had Corbett guessing
whether he waa in San Francisco or
pa&sing through Keokuk, Kokomo,
Kankakee or Kalamazoo in their brief
engagement in 'Frisco of four rounds'
duration. That event was for "'keeps."
It is possible that the progress of this
one up to the fifth round will give the
smart ones a chance to "hedge out."
The '"dear public" must not overlook
the fact that the boxers get just a3
much money for a draw as for a knock
out. And it is not so trying on the
constitution.
If Corbett and Sharkey give the pub
lic the "hinky-dink," fare-thee-v.ell to
"bcxing matches in which they engage
as principals in the future.
The killing of Billy Walker by Andy
Dupont in a prize light at South Omaha
is a warning that should be heeded.
There must have been something
wrong with Walker physically. He
was scarcely marked. Club managers
should have all boxing aspirants exam
ined by a physician before permitting
them to enter the rinsr.
Tom Lansing. Corbett's Bparring
partner, is out after bigger game since
he vanquished the St. Paul Iwxer, Dick
Moore. Now Mr. Lansing wants a go
at either Gus Ruhlin or Steve O'Don
nell, or some one of their caliber. Have
a care, Thomas. Take the easy ones
when you can get them.
Where, oh, where is "One-Eyed" Con
nolly? Let him report instanter. "Den
ver" Ed Smith, recently reported dead,
has turned up at Victoria, B. C. Smith
says he is just back from Dawson. How
Tom Allen's protege ever managed to
get from Johannesburg, South Africa,
to Dawson City, Alaska, will be the
subject before the Victoria Hi^h School
Debating society next Saturday even

NEW YORK-BOSTOX RECORD.
It Is Broken by W. E. Curtis on a
f'hnluleiis.
The record between New York and Eos;/>n
has been attracting the attention of long
distance riders cf late, and teveral attempts
have recently been made to lower it. Last
Monday A. M. Curtis, an amateur ilder cf
Meriden, Conn., and J. J. Casey, a prof 3
slona.l rider of Worcester, Mass., both tried
for fhe coveted prize.
J. J. Casey left the ctty hall. New York,
at 12 o'clock midnight Sunday, mounted on a
chain wheel, and Curtis mounted on a Co
lumbia c-hainJess left a half hour later. Cur
tis succeeded in walking off with the plum,
overtaking Casey before the latter had
reached Woodmont, and reducing the rec rd
by the liberal margin of five hours. The
previous record, made by Warren F. Taylor
was twenty-three hours and thirty-two m-n
--utos Curtis covered the distance in eighteen
boura and thirty-two minutes, which estab
lishes a figure that will take some fast rid
ing to beat. Casey made the run In nine
teen hours and fifty mlnutss, which give*
him the professional record.
This is an exeepttona'.ly creditable per
formance for Curtis, as it was not thought
probable that tlie record could be cut so very
hard.

The Western league base ball aver
ages, as prepared by President B. B.
Johnson, are given In the tables be
low. They show that Kansas City led
the batting, and the league's leading
batsman, Slagel, was a member of that
team. His average, .378, is 24 points
ahead of that of Beaumont, of Milwau
kee, who comes second. Next in the
list is another Kansas City man. Wil
liams, with Dungan, of Detroit, In
fourth place. Glenalvin, of St. Paul, is
tilth. Glenalvin leads the league as a
sacrifice hitter, having made thirty-six
during the season. The best Indianap
olis batsman is Mots, whose average la
.301, and he stands nineteenth in the
I list. The St. Paul team, as a whole,
j stood fifth in both fielding and batting,
and yet got fourth place handily. Co-
I lum.bus stood second in fielding and
; third in batting, and yet was a bad
I fifth at the finish. Columbus' trouble
was the pitching department.
In the field, Motz was the leading
first baseman, with an everage of .986.
Kines led the second basemen, with an
average of .959; Nyce the third base-
J men, with .944; Allen the shortstops,
j with .931; Genins the outfielders, with
.973; Speer the catchers, with .977, and
Taylor the pitchers, with .967. Denzer
won more games than any other pitch
er, his record being 33 won and 10 lost.
In fielding, the members of the St. Paul
team stood this way: First basemen,
Isbell, third; Glasscock, tenth; second
basemen. Glenalvin, tenth; third base
men, Gillen, ninth; shortstops, Shugart,
seventh; outfielders, Geier, fifth; Burke,
sixteenth, Preston, thirty-first; Miller,
thirty-sixth; catchers. Spies, third;
pitchers, Cross, thirteenth. Fricken,
twentieth; Denzer, twenty-fifth; Phyle,
twenty-seventh.
The great ba.se stealer was Campau,
who, old as he is, purloined sixty bags
during the season. Daly, of Milwaukee,
another of the ancients, stole fifty-two
bases, and Waldron, another Milwaukee
player, came next with fifty. Hog- |
riever, of Indianapolis, stole forty-six, I
and Geier, of St. Paul, and Weaver, of I
Milwaukee, each thirty-eight. The j
fastest man on his feet, however, was
Knoll, of Columbus, who stole thirty-five
bases in eighty-eight games.
Cook, of Minneapolis, got the booby |
prize as an artist at batting where the I
ball was not. He made two base hits
in eighteen games. Briggs, of Detroit,
did a little better, getting three hitr* J
in the same number of games. Irwin, j
of Detroit, beait the pair out a trifle I
by getting four hits In twenty-one |
games.
Roat, of St. Joe, made the largest
number of errors of any shortstoD, 115.
For the third basemen, Oillen led with
68. Stewart topped the second basemen,
with 63; Slagel the outfielders with 36;
McCauley the pitchers with 37. |
Stafford the first basemen with 42. and
Merideth the pitchers with 12. Daub
pitched wild twelve times, and Me- |
Cauley had thirty passed balls; Me- j
Neely, of Minneapolis, lost the largest |
number of games, twenty-eight. The \

Several of Them l>is|».,se<l of l»y the
National Board of Avbltrution.
WASHINGTON, Oct.' 22 —The board
of arbitration of the National league,
at a special meeting held 1j? the Wal
dorf-Astoria hotel in New York, today
took action on a numbef- of matters of
interest to followers of the national
grame.
In the appeal of the Brooklyn club
for the services of W. H. Keister, the
board found that Keister was given hfe
written notice of release by the Boston
club on July 16. They, however, failed
to send notice to the secretary of the
board until three days after the expira
tion of the prescribed ten days, and
when the notice of rt-lf-as- whs promul
gated the Brooklyn r!ub promptly ac
cepted the service 3of the player. The
board found therefore that the Brook
lyn club complied fully with the law
governing the acceptance of services of
released players, and cannot be depriv
ed of its rights under the national
agreement, and Keister accordingly will
Play with the Brooklyn club.
In the petition of Peter Oassidy for
release from the Newark olub the
board found that on July 17 lie was
free to sign with any clut) he desired,
because of the non-payment of his sal
ary and of his lawful release by Pres
ident Burns.
The claim of the St. tioula club
against the Rochester club for $500
compensation for the release of J. B.
Donnelly was dismissed.
The claim of the Wilkesbarre club
against the St. L*>uis club for $750 for
the release of Suter Sullivan was sus
tained.
The application of the New England
league for renewal of protection under
the national agreement, including the
Okies of Pawtucket, Newport New
Bedford, Fall River. Worcester and
Brockton, was allowed, provided the
fees be paid before Oct. 26.
It was held that the application for
protection of the Union association will
be considered after they have complied
with the conditions of organization
prescribed in article 6 of the national
agreement.
The dispute between the Indianapolis
and Youngstown clubs relative to the
rights of the reservation of Charles
Knepper was laid over until the an
nual meeting of the national board of
arbitration.
FOREST FIRES RARE.
Annual Report of the Superinten-
dent of the Yellowstone Park.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.- The annual
report of the superintendent of the
Yellowstone National park shows the
aggregate number of tourists visiting
the park from the opening of the sea
son, June 1, to Sept. SO last was 0,534,
an increase over the previous year.
Fcrest fires have been exceptionally
rare this year, due both to patrolling
and care of camping parties and otii
ers. Recommendation is made to make
the forest reserve on the south a part
of the park.
The report says the fifty buffalo yet
there, about the wnly wild herd in the
United States, are not increasing, due
to too much iubreedinp:; moose, elk,
deer and antelope are "plentiful and
increasing, and bears are'too plentiful.
Exchange of Mall.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 22.— The postofflee de
partment has established a weekly exchange
of registered mails, restricted to letters and
postal cards, between the postofilees of
Skag-uay and Bennett, in the Yukc-n district
of Canada. Thi3 takes the place of the pres
ent exchange of mails between the two
countries at Dyea end Dawson City.

Hi Women Who Sit Alt Day at the Loom Weaving the Much-Prized Fabrics S
From the St. Louis Globe-Dcm ?ci at.
Marvels of color and design are the
carpets that come to us from Persia,
ar.cl it is the artistic, after all, thzft
keeps in touch the East and the West
But as we wonder at the geometrical
designs and enjoy the luxuriant soft
nets, a thought is seldom given to the
women who sit all day at the loam
weaving the precious fabric. The fa
vorite design is the eight-poiiUed star;
over and over again appearing, large
or small, as the fancy of the weaver
may dictate. There are not more than
twenty patterns in all, but in the col
ors and in the borders the weaver ex-
ercises great care in preserving orlg.
inality. If the pile is long and lco.se,
I and the pattern large, the rug is co-m
--! paratively cheap in the manufacture
j A fine, short pile is the sort to be de.
sired and will last a hundred years
I with ordinary care. Worthless colors
I may be discovered by rubbing with a
wet rag when the colors come off. Tht
' mellow tint we prize so much is not
characteristic cf the new rug. In fact
i like old wine, Persian rugs improve

the Swiss watchmakers, the industry
deseemds from father to son, and from
mother to daughter. The making of a
rug is often a family affair, different
members working at different times
each choosing colors according to hi*
own sweet will. This accounts for th»i
difference of design that the owne*
sometimes deprecates, but which la
really the best evidence of the genuine
ness of the carpet.
The many mistakes In the matching
of color is due to the fact that, if the
wool runs short, the weaver will often
replace it with another that looks as
much like it as possible. The people
of the East are not fain to trouble
themselves about trifles, and rather
