SPORTS HANRAHANISPUTOUT WILD BILL SUCCUMBS TO THE PROWESS OF FRANK CHILDS, THE COLORED LAB LOSER WAS EASILY OUTCLASSED Only* One. Minute of Fighting; Had Elapsed in the Fourth Round When Hmtrahnii Went to Sleep. ~v CHICAGO, Feb. 3.—"Wild Bill" Hanra han's aspirations to the heavyweight championship were quickly- dispelled to night by Frank Childs, the colored heavyweight, who knocked out the New Yorker after one minute of ncrbtlng: in the fourth round of a six-round contest at the America club. Hanrahan was out classed from the start, although at the commencement of the first round he landed a wild swing that landed on Childs' head. Chllds slipped from his balance; but was up in a second and sent Hanrahan to the floor with a stiff left to the jaw. Hanrahan remained down for the limit, but he had a shade the best of it in the exchange that followed. The second round was full of wild swings, neither man doing any damage. In the next round Childs began playing for Hanrahan's stomach, and was more suceessiul at this style of fighting. On several occasions he landed on the New Yorker's abdomen without a return. As the round progressed Hanrahan became wilder than ever in his delivery, and Childs tried for a knockout. He missed Hanrahan's jaw, and the latter fell into a clinch. Childs was the stronger and shook Hanrahan off with ease and reach ed his stomach with a right punch that made Hanrahan groan. When they came together in the fourth round Childs continued to play for the stomach, easily avoiding Hanrahan's wild swings. After about a minute of lighting they got into a clinch, and on the breakaway Childs shoved a straight left into Hanrahan's stomach The blow doubled Hanrahan up, and as his head dropped forward the colored man brought his right square on the .law. Hanrahan fell fat on his back, and after being counted out his seconds carried him to his corner where they worked over him for fully ten minutes.before he was able to walk to his dressing room. In a six-round bout Jimmy Handler, of Newark, X. J., lost the decision to Jack Beauscholte, of Chicago. Beauscholte used a left-hand jab that he was able to land on Handler's face whenever he pleased, and before they had been fight ing two minutes he had Handler's nose bleeding. Handler tried in every round to land^a right swing, but was invariably stopped by Beauscholte's left before he could do any damage. Handler had a little the better of It in the clinches, but was so far outclassed at long-distance fighting that Beauscholte won with ease. The men met at catchweights, and Beau scholte had about ten pounds the best of It, BUSY PFISTERS TEAMS OF TWO LEAGUES ROLL OS THE ALLEYS.

BEALL TALKS BASEBALL FORMER MAGNATE PUTS OMAHA IN A SIX-CLUB LEAGUE. OMAHA, Feb. S.—A. B. Beall, of Sioux City, has some opinions of the Western league that will interest the fans, who follow the doings of the Hiekey and the Wfcitfield factions without being able to reach a satisfactory conclusion how the Western baseball war will terminate. Mr. Beall ia the magnate who traded his possessions in Minneapolis to Pack ard, of Denver, for the franchise there and got himself ousted from the West ern league !n consequence. When in the city on baseball business he said: "What I am here for I can't tell with out subjecting my interests to risk," said Mr. Beall. "I am watching and waiting. Every move that either organ ization makes I know about. I know just where each stands. "The Western league managers v.ill not admit it just yet, perhaps, but they are beaten in the respect that the pro moters of the American association have accomplished what they set out to do— namely, to organize a strong circuit with the best cities in the old Western league, and to relegate Denver, Colorado Sprii-gs and other Western cities to a smaller organization. "The situation has solved itself to a point whero there is but one outcome. Omaha will be in a six-flub league next season, unless arrangements are made to take in smaller towns like Sioux City or Peoria. St. Paul and Minneap olis have been given up by the West ern magnates. "They have the park at Milwaukee, but it would be the height of nonsense to put a club in Milwaukee with Den vsr and Colorado Springs at the other end. The managers all know it, and I am told that Whitfield intends to aban don the undertaking, notwithstanding that he has paid $1,000 on a lease. "Omaha fan? can make up their minds to see a six-club league ball next sea son. I hold the Denver franchish. The courts will protect me from the action of the league at Kansas City when the members expelled me without warrant. A restraining order will bring the West ern magnates to time. They will find they can't play ball in Denver till they do the square thing by me. "I have hopes that "my claim to own ership of the Denver franchise will be recognized, so that I won't be out of ba=eball altogether." TRAINING IS HARD WORK FORMER LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION TALKS ABOUT THE GAME. "Kill" Lavigne, formerly lightweight champion, in talking on training, said ' There are few people who know what It is to be trained down below your nor mal fighting weight. I was once, and it was when 1 boxed- that draw with Frank Krne. At that time 1- was heavier than I am now. and it was harder for me to do 133 pounds than it would be for me to make 128 at present. I put up a de posit of $500 that I would be at the weight or forfeit, and, as it was my hard-earned money, it worried me a lot I told my brother that be ought to have got Erne to consent to 133 pounds give or take a couple of pounds, but Billy was sure 1 could fight at i 33 handily, and ho ridiculed the idea. Well, to make a long story short, I trained hard, and just a day or so before the fight I weighed myself and I was hugging the 133 notch and it frightened me. I said to myself that I would have to take off a couple of pounds or 1 would lose that $500. and I reduced. The night of the fight came and I was feeling mean. I had not eaten scarcely anything for fear that 1 would be too heavy, and 1 remembered that I felt rotten when T started for the ring. On the way down to the place where we were to fight I said to Paddy Gorman who trained me, that I guess I would take a swallow of brandy to brace me up and put some ginger in me. When I told him how I felt he agreed that a little brandy would brace me up. and I went in and bought a glass. But it seemed to , dto me no good, and when T stripped for ! the fight 1 was feeling as bad as I d;d when I left the training ground. "When we came up for instruction I said to myself. 'Now. I have got to lick this fellow quickly, or he will put it on me, for I am not right. 1 and wewent at it. I fiddled away, and just when I thought he was coming at me I let drive a- th t.e next thin S I remember' I was hit ting the floor. It was an awful shake up, for in trying to save myself in going down I only made matters worse and hurt myself more than if I had tried to keep from falling. I remember pulling myself up. and when I got back to the corner I was dazed, and drunk in the bargain and I asked my brother where Erne hit me, and Ire replied that 1 was not hit and that I only slipped down Do you know that drinking one glass of brandy on my empty stomach made me as drunk as though I had been out all night on a time, and it was a couple of rounds before I got my 'head? If Erne had only realized in what a critical con dition I was he would have beaten me right there and then, but, luckily he stayed away for several rounds, and n the meantime I sobered up. The next day some of the papers stated that I was drunk, and I was, but not in the way they meant it. No, sir; there is nothing like going into the ring feeling good and strong, and when one does he has a great advantage over the fellow who strips? drawn and fine and feoiing mean. There is nothing like being in good! con diition. for then your battle is half won " WILLIE TO DODGE GARS KAXLOX FEELS SURE THAT KEG ILER WILL BE WITH BROOKLYN. BALTIMORE, M<L, Feb. 3.—Despite the recent conference between Willie Keeler and the Baltimore management and the reported offer to the famous play er of an Interest with his friend, Joe Kelley, in the club's ownership, Xed Hanlon said today he was almost cer tain Keeler would wear a Brooklyn uni form the coining season.

I will go over to New York one day nevt week, and expect to make full arrangements to take the team on a practice trip. It will be to either Ficrida or Georgia." Asked whether there would be eight clubs In the National league. JJanlon said THE SIX PAUt, GLOBE, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY % 1903. It was his opinion there would. He be lieves the difference among the clubs will be settled, ana that the league will open with the clubs on peaceful terms. WIIiL REMOVE TO SEW JERSEY.

Manning.* Partner Turned Down Chance to Go to Detroit. DETROIT, Feb. 3.—That the Detroit people were in earnest to secure the very best talent available in baseball is shown by the fact that an agent in this city offered Nichols, the well known pitcher, ?5,000 a year on a two years' con tract, and a bonus of $1,500 payable when ho signed. Nichols was not at liberty to accept this offer, as he had already com mitted himself to go to Kanas City. The New York club has offered Libe Washburn, a left-handed pitcher, formerly with Brown university, $400 per month to play next season, but the offer was refused.

Mc- Mahon was handed over to Mr. Hadlich with the report that there was no such number on Carroll street as 1307, and this letter Mr. Hadlicti placed in the hands of the young man who is now under arrest. McMahon Had 3Tot Moved. From the carrier who had been deliv ering mail at 137 Poplar street, it was later learned that the true J. P. McMahon had not removed from that place and was complaining that he had not received a letter which he was expecting from Mon tana. A conference between the post office officials and this Mciviahon soon convinced tooth them and him mat some person was diverting his mail and he then reported that he had a few days be fore received from a "salary loan' agency a postal card to inform him that the agency had decided upon investiga tion to grant the loan for which he had applied. As he had not applied for a loan he could not understand the purport of the card, and had thrown it away. !t is charge-d that the prisoner repre senting himself as J. P. McMahon and using the letter in question as a means of identification, had applied to D. H. Tolman. loan agent in the New York Lrife building for a loan of $35 and after due course of inquiry on the part of the agency, had, upon the reputation of the true J. P. McMahon, been given a check for that amount. This check which was on the Capitol bank of this city was negotiated at the store of the Plymouth clothing house in the purchase of cloth ing to the amount of $25, the remainder being returned to the purchaser in cash. The negotiation of the check, of course. Involved the forgery of the name of Mc- Mahon. The arrest of the prisoner came about in a rather unexpected manner and the circumstances which led up to it ar^ at tributed to a desire on his part to carry his negotiations in bank checks stiil farther. On Saturday afternoon a tele phone message was received at the loan office of Mr. Tolman, the person talking representing himself as the Minnesota Tailoring company. He asked that Tol man & Co., as a matter of accommoda tion, furnish the Minnesota Tailoring company with some blank checks on the Capitol bank, explaining that this was pay day at the shop and the supply of blank checks had run out. As the bank had closed no more checks could be se cured there. The man at the telephone said he would send a boy for the checks. A few minutes later the young woman at Tolman's office called up the Minnesota Tailoring company and found tna,t the occupants of that office knew nothing of the former telephone message or the re quest for checks and when the boy came she questioned him sufficiently to learn that he was to meet the man who had sent him there at the corner of Fifth and Wabasha street. Telephoned for the Police. Then the young woman, Miss Anna Gallagher, telephoned to tne - Central police station for an officer to meet her at the corner designated and followed the boy to that point. The young man now under arrest met the boy at the corner and was taken into custody by the police officer. The prisoner has been identified by Miss Gallagher as the man who se cured the loan under the name of Mc« Mahon and by Mr. Hadlich as the one to whom he gave the letter mentioned above. Under the name of Wilson, which he gave, to Mr. Hadlich yesterday, the pris oner was' arranged before Judge Lochren and pleaded not guilty. His case waa set for hearing at 10 o'clock this morn ing.

The committee on manufacturing will give an informal supper to the manufac turing committee of the Minneapolis Com mercial club at the club dining hall this evening. The officers of the state agri culturaJ society ore to be the guests" of the club also. This supper is to take the placo of a Joint meeting between the three organi zations and will be for the purp;>se of discussing the proposition of erecting a manufacture, rs' building at the state fair grounds. Covers will be la-kl for thirty and the supper will begin at 7 o'clock. The committee on manufacturing of both the St. Paul and Minneapolis Com mercial clubs believe that there is lot enough attention paid in the state f;iirg~ to the manufacturing industries of the state and tonight the officers of the ag ricultural society will be asked to do something with this end in view. The members of the committee feel that a building of this character would have a tendency to impress upon . the minds of those who attend the state fair the man- 1 ufacturing , importance of the state. It would be particularly advantageous to the manufacturers of St. Paul and Mm- " neripolis, altht ugh the entire state could be -well represented in this-line . Gen. H. .W.

"Eighty-five hundred dollars spent dar ing the past season at the fish hatchery and not a thing to show for it except <>n& or two trees cut down and a small amount of gravel removed is the record of the state game and fish commission'^ work on the improvements there," s.iid Frank Olson at the meeting of the Sec ond Ward Improvement association hist night. •"Executive Agent Fullerton has had eight men and one foreman at work there for a long time. The men receive $i. rM a day and the foreman $5. They work ostensibly eight hours a day, beginning about 7 o'clock in the morning and quit ting at 3 in the afternoon. These men have been there all the season and there la absolutely nothing in the way of re sults to show for what they have been doing." Mr. Olson thought that this state of affairs should be remedied, and the as sociation appeared to agree with him unanimously. Other members spoke of the situation at the hatchery, and the dis cussion culminated in a resolution offered"^ by Mr. Olson to the effect that Repre sentative Dunn be notified of the condi tions, and asked to see what could be done in the way of having improvements done by contract Instead of by day work. The resolution was adopted and a copy will be forwarded to Mr. Dunn. The association received a communica tion from Supt. Smith, of the street rail way company, relative to the complaint made at the last meeting of the associa tion in regard to the negligence of the conductors of the Seventh street and Maria and Rondo cars in refusing to wait for transfer passengers at the intersec tion. Mr. Smith acknowledged the receipt of the communication and also the receipt of a clipping from The Globe of the morning following the meeting which the officers of the association inclosed in their letter to him. The superintendent did not say what would be done in the mat ter, but frorni conversation with the resi dents who use the lines it appears that some orders must have been issued for the cars now wait for the transfer pas sengers. The association also decided to affiliate, as far as possible, with the First Ward Business Men's club in their effort to have the Rondo car line extended to Lake Phalen. The association holds that tha lake is as much of a resort for residents of the Second ward as it is for those of the First, and feel that anything that can be done by the association should be done willingly.
