McGovern's defeat of Sullivan ac-
complished one tiling that the fight
"fans" like it brought back "Young"
Corbett's lighting spirit and he has
signed with Terry for another bout
taking the champion's privilege of
naming the date and setting It more
than seven months away.
The men who did not patronize the
McOoverii-Sulllvaii light because they
had a hunch that It would 'be a short
affair made a poor guess. McGovern's
position as the strong favorlto un-
doubtedly kept hundreds from being at
the ringside. Those who stayed awny
are sorry.
Regardless of the confusion In con-
nection with the decision It is admit-
ted by practically every man who saw
the light that Terry had Sullivan de-
risively defeated. It was a great sur-
prise to many followers of the game
that Sullivan lasted fifteen rounds. It
started talk that McGovern had gone
back. Some said the- Brooklyn terror
could not hit as ho did before "Young"
Corbett knocked him senseless last No-
vember. The reports of the fight said that
McGovern lepeatedly hit Sullivan
squaro on the jaw without hurting the
man from Cork. This of course. Is
not considered the mark of a world
beater. Much space is devoted to the
fact that Sullivan "got to" Terry in the
fifth lound and had him going. It Is
also pointed out that McGovern made
many wild and ineffective efforts.
Counting only Terry's fallings in the
bout would make him look much less
tho lighter that he was before he
tackled Corbett. There is another side
to-it however. "Young" Corbett first
taught the other feather "weights that
the way to fight Terry was to fight him
back. Many of the men who lost in
short order to McGovern were con-
fused at tho start by his rushing tac-
tics. Corbett kept n cool head and
surprised McGovern. Sullivan sat tit
the ringside and saw how It was done.
It probably gave him a lot of confi-
dence. Scliaafer tiuit Vlffnnax Matched.
Tho proposed match between Mau-
rice Vignaux and Jaki! Schaefer cham-
pions of France and America to be
played in Paris early next month for
the world's championship will reuew
ti.e 111 feeling which has existed be-
tween theso experts for years.
Vignaux Is tho "grand old man" of
billiards. Over threescore years of age
he to-day Is considered tho greatest
?xponent of the game. He made his
bow in the American billiard world In
1874 defeating Cyrille Dion in a match

chances In the coming match as his
health has been poor for some time.
This was shown In tho lato New York
tourney In which although he won
ho showed the poorest foim In yenrs.
Tho contest however will ho highly
interesting and will settle tho ques-
tion of superiority between the two
best ball to ball experts In the world.
A Iteui American Uolfer.
That an education on Scottish links
fa not essential to the development of
skill at golf Is proved by the prowess
which has been attained by tho men of
other nationalities. The caddies who
help make the game a practical suc-
cess aro hound to produce skillful play-
ers from among their number. Tho
most striking Instances or this devel-
opment arc found In the cases of John
Shippen and Oscar Dunn Indiana of
the Shlnnccock tribe on Long Island
which has Its reservation near the
links of the Shlnnccock Hills Golf club

he played Travis and lost only 1 down.
When Vardon was making his tour
Bunn played him at Lake Placid in
tho Adirondack and though he was
nervous and lost many holes on the
firs' round In consequence he made up
for It on the last nine nnd finally lost
only 6 ilown. Bunn bag won from John
Dunn the professional and also has
defeated a number of professionals and
amateurs In Florida. He lowered the
record for the Quagannpoxct club at
New London Conn. fiom 74. to 72
whereas bogey Is reckoned at 70. Bunn

Yni'lit Cup for Inland Itaclnc
What promises to be the greatest
yacht races in the United States for the
season of 1902 were guaranteed to Chi-
cago when it was announced that Sir
Thomas Llpton had promised definitely
to send the cup. This was the first
official infornlation that the cup will
be on hand fo'r the coming season. It
will he sailed for In the twenty-ono
foot class according to the rules sug-
gested by tne Columbia Yacht Club
and to which Sir Thomas has agreed.

broke a bono In his right shoulder. TIo
surgeon who Is attending him says
that he will have to remain In bed for
weeks and can never use an oar again.
The bone broken la the one that forms
the arch of the shoulder. Gaudaur has
for many years been a prominent fig-
ure In rowing circles on this side of
tho water and with tho possible ex-
ception of Ned Hunlan was tho bc3t
oarsman that the western hemisphere
has known. Ho is a veteran at the
game and would no doubt have soon
retired anyway.

"Tot" Murphy the old Yale short-
stop and a member of the New York
Giants for a season or two In the mid-
dle '90s Is slated to take charge of the
Columbia University candidates.
Murphy though being tho smallest lad
who has ever played In the big league
knows the game as well as any of
them. He nlways could field and
sprint and as a collegian always bat-
ted at a stiff clip though ho round the
twirling of the National leaguers a lit-
tle too deceptive for him.

Terry McGovern has announced that
he will assist Fitzsimmons In the lnt-
ter's training for tho coming fight with
Jeffries. Terry should certainly prove
a novelty to Fitz as a sparring partner.
According to reports Fltzslmmons Is
now planning to purchase an estate

ABOUT THE WILD ASS.
HlCli-Splrlteil anil Untiimutile The? Fly
from Man'e 1'reioiior.
Tho wild ass may almost be said to
bo the antithesis of the domestic spe-
cies. The one is hlgh-sptritod and un-
tamable the other tha meekest and
most submissive of quadrupeds; the
one is as remarkable for Its speed as
the other for its slowness; and while
tho wild specimen ranks among the
most graceful animals of creation Its
every movement typical of the untram-
mo!ed freedom of the desert over
which It loves to roam and of tho un-
fettered breath of heaven which seems
to lend It wings. Its subjugated con-
gener Is awkward and ungainly. In
color tho roulan or wild ass Is n
creamy white shading to fawn on the
back with a handsome darker stripe
running from wither to tall and a
corresponding marking on each fore-
arm; the head and muzzle are finely
molded tho ears less long and pointed
than those In tho tame donkey and
eyes largo and prominent and as
bright as those of tho gazelle and tho
legs resemble In length nnd lightness
thoso of the deer. Wild nsscs congre-
gate In herds of from sixty to seventy;
and It Is said by the natives that thero
Is generally but one male In every
herd. It is even rare to find a male
mong tho young ones captured. No
pettier sight can be seen than one of
hese herds careering over tho plain
sending up the solt spray like a show-
er of crystal in their flight. Theirs la
tho very poetry of motion but tho
sight Is too transient their fleetness of
foot carrying them out of the range of
vision long before tho enjoyment that
.their beauty gives Is satiated. Cham-

TramplantlUR Lares Tree.
Paris has learned tho art of trans-
planting large trees successfully so
that at the earliest signs of decay a
street tree may be removed and tho
symmetry of the vista not spoiled by
Its successor. For these trees alone
tha expenses of Paris amount to about
$60000 a year. The municipal nurser-
ies Includo a "hospital" or "cure"
for the tired trees whero they are re-
stored If possible to health and
strength In soil that Is richer than
tho city's In spring and fall these
trees on their way to and from tho
hospital arc no uncommon feature la
the street scenes of Paris.

The Amerlcnn I-eague at Its meet-
ing in Detroit came out llut-foolcd on
a major lenguo basis nnd raised prices
of admission to the same scale as th
old National league. This movement
Is one of the most Important the
American league has made and plows
it in position to cheerfully pay tho
high salaries of Its stars' and at the
samo tlmo !s n notice to tho public
that the American lenguo Is "It."
The playing schedule wns adopted as
originally drafted with a few ex-
changes of dates to make it more
equitnble.
Incidentally the luiguc voted unani-
mously to raise Presldunt Johnson's
salary from $5000 to ?7;S00 In recog-
nition of the successful Issuo of the
war with tho old league.
The schodulc ns approved by the
mngnatcs suits nil clubs. The Chicago
and St. Louis clubs aro particularly
favored from tho fact that they aie
the best Sunday towns In the league.
Chicago Is awarded thlrtcon Sundays
eleven Saturdays July 4. and Labor
day. St. Louis gets exactly the same
allotment of plums except July 4. Co-
miskey's team is scheduled in Wash-
ington on Decoration day.
DeVolt gets eleven Sundays and
eleven Saturdays July 4 and Labor
day at home. Cleveland gets eleven
Sundays ten Saturdays nnd L-ibor
day Boston has ten Saturdays Bunk-
er Hill day (June 17) Decoration day
aid July 4. Philadelphia gets eleven
Saturdays and two holidays and Balti-
more and Washington eleven Salui-
days anil one holiday apiece.
As had been foreshadowed the
ridiculous foul-strike rule that was
forced upon the Buffalo confeience
was repudiated tho American league
deciding to adhere to the rules of Inst
year In so far as Hits matter was con-
cerned. After devoting a long time to dis-
cussing the question of entering New
York the magnates adjourned leav-
ing tho matter entirely In the hands of
President Johnson.
President Johnson said tho situation
so far as New York was concerned ro-
.miiiv.M ii.nuifci. nit! luuKuv mium
eventually get Into New York but he
did not expect any move to be mado
at present. He would probably estnb-
ilsh offices In New York lato In the
summer or early In tho fall but theso
would only be temporary headquar-
ters. Continuing Mr. Johnson said: "My
associations arc all with Chicago and
the west and from a purely business
standpoint I think the American
leag'.to's permanent headquarters
should be In Chicago. That city's fu-
ture Importance ns a business center

Charles F. Dooln tho young mth
or who will be with the Phlltdelphia
National League team next reason Is
a native of Cincinnati. He started
his caiecr on the lots of that city
about five years ago whn i.o becaino
a piomlncnt amateur player. He Is
ti . .
one of the fastest and most nccurato
throwers that ever stepped behind .i
bat. Dooln's first professional en-
gagement was with Indianapolis In '98
but during the exhibition season ho
met with an Injury and wns released.
His next experience was with Du-
buque fiom which cluli he wont to
St. Paul. As Comlskey did not giro
him a chance he went home In disgust
and did not play professionally again
until last season when he was with
the St. Joe Club of the Western league.
During the season of 1900 ho was n
member of Julius Flclschmann'a
Mountain team. Dooln was regarded
as the star catcher of tho Western
League in 1901 and his admirers arn
confident that ho will bo one of tho
National's best backstops In 1902.

There Is somewhat of a lull In the
quest of the two mnjor leagues for
star ball play .rs that Is to say the
quest Is less keen. Tho Amerlcnn
league has about secured all the stars
It needs and Its teams aro practically
ma!c up The National leaguo Is still
on the hunt for players although the
quest has been somewhat Interrupted
by the faction light.
