PUGILISTIC CHAMPIO

A General Change In the Last Year— , The Present Llat. Pugilistic champions were bowled over like ten pins. In the last year and of the men who, twelve months ago, were the top-notchers In their respective classes, J. J. Jeffries is the only one who still retains the title of champion. The most notable ring contest of the year was that ^between the hitherto undefeated Terry McGovern and “Young Corbett,” which took place Thanksgiving afternoon at Hartford, Conn., and in which McGovern was knocked out in three rounds. There are so many classes In the light, welter and middleweight divisions and so many claimants for the honors In these classes that they are now designated by weights rather than classes. Terry McGovern, while no longer champion of the featherweight division, still retains the 122-pound championship. Joe Walcott, the 142-pound champion, was soundly beaten by “Kid’' Lavigne, at 128 pounds. “Wild Bill" Hanrahan, the 170-pound champion, was In turn knocked out by Walcott. The following are the fighters who are the champions at the now recognized weights at the close of the year 1901: Bantam Weight Class—Harry Forbes, of

Chicago.

The 122-pound Class—Terry McGovern, of Brooklyn. The 126-pound Class—Young Corbett, of

Denver. *

The 130-pound Class—Martin Duffy, of

Chicago.

The 133-pound Class—Frank Erne, of

Buffalo.

The 142-pound Class—Joe Walcott, of New York. : ' The 164-pound Class—George Gardner, of Lowell, Mass. The 170-pound Class—Bill Hanrahan, of Brooklyn. Heavyweight Class—James J. Jeffries, of

About Fighters.

“Young Corbett” has began a theatrical tour, and will visit the principal cities of the country, giving three-round exhibition with a sparring partner. Tim Hegarty, who was recently knocked out in jig time by “Kid” Lavigne, is seeking another match with the former lightweight champion. Hegarty is willing for the winner to take all. Two fakirs, posing as Jack McAuliffe and Jack Slavin, are said to be coining money in India off the reputations of these old-time fighters. They battle for the championship of the country about

once a month.

Jack Jeffries, who has been doing duty as his brother’s punching bag for several years, now wants to do something on his own account, and expects to get on a match as soon as he reaches New York, which will be within the next two weeks. Three good fights are scheduled for tonight. At Cincinnati Qus Bezenah will meet Eddie Gardner. At Philadelphia Joe Young and Joe Gans will mix It up for six rounds, and at Allentown, Pa.,. Jim Jeffords and Jack McCormick will pummel each other. Terry McGovern has secured training quarters near Hempstead, L. L Surrounding his place are the country homes of August Belmont, Sidney Dillon Ripley,

... Bird and Jas.

L. Kernochan, and nearby are the headquarters of New York’s swellest hunt

club. ,

Billy Delaney, manager of J. J. Jefries, set this afternoon to receive acceptances to Jeffries’s challenge to meet any man In the world. Intimate friends of Fitzsimmons say that the veteran fighter has been bluffing recently In his repeated announcements that he has quit the ring for all time and will be the first to accept Jeffries's challenge.

V

The Shortridge Bowlers. The Shortridge Bowling League, which was organized about two months ago. will wind up its series of games to-mor-row morning on the Pastime alleys. The Delectables have far distanced the other teams, and will easily carry off championship honors. They will receive the handsome trophy cup offered by a local firm. The most exciting finish will be between the Mayers and Hoot-Mons for second place. These two teams have bowled close scores all through the series. and still stand about even, with only the difference of one game between

them.

Spaldlng Wrote to Brush that He Believed It would be Better for Each Club to be Owned by Local

Capitalists.

Judge Howard Ferris, of Cincinnati, who will be the new president of the Cincinnati baseball club If John T. Brush consents to sell the team, arranged to open negotiations to-day with Ashley Lloyd, treasurer of the club, with a view of buying the outfit. Judge Ferris had expected to see John T. Brush personally and discuss the question, but like several others during the last week he has been unable to discover the Cincinnati magnate’s hiding place. A. G. Spalding’s Interest in the deal is shown from the fact that he wrote John T. Brush that he believed the National League would fare better If the several clubs were owned by local capitalists and with no one man In complete control. He said also that If a company had been formed In Cincinnati to buy out the club he favored It. He would not, however, be a party to any scheme or plot which contemplated a freeze out or the loss of any money for Brush. With a local company owning the Cincinnati team and Judge Ferris In. the saddle, Mr. Spalding would have another ally and rob Freedman of hls strongest

supporter.

A report from Boston says that a new company Is being formed to take the National League team out of the hands of the Soden, Conant-BHHngs combination, and that Mr. Spalding has indorsed the new company. When the Boston magnates first lined up with Freedman, Mr. Spalding offered no objection particularly, as Soden said before the New York meeting closed that he would get In the new band wagon as quickly as possible. He has now had three weeks In which to act, but Is still, from all outward appearances, with the Freedman-Brush faction. He says that Mr. Spalding has been badly advised and made a big mistake in declaring Freedman out of baseball. He is sorry that they can not get together. The Boston owners are unpopular In that city and the cranks would welcome a change in ownership.

THE DEATH OF DIBBY FLYNN.

Hil

Devotion to Hla Mother—Hla

Heroiam Under Suffering.

“Dibby” Flynn’s sudden death at Chicago, Saturday night, brought on by a hemorrhage caused by the excitement of refusal to leave his family after they had accompanied him to the station to start him on a Journey alone to Arizona for hls health, showed a characteristic trait of the man. He felt that he nust die and did not wish to die among strangers. He was always remarkably devoted to hls mother. When playing with ’he Indianapolis club he never passed through Chicago without seeing her. If possible he went ahead of the club and r pent a day with her. If not, she met him at the station. As the train pulled into the city he would become as excited and anxious as a young lover. The other players often joked him about hls anxiety to get to Chicago, but Flynn always ".aid: “There are just four of us, two older brothers, mother and myself. I am her baby and

always will be.”

A year ago last June, Flynn married Miss Ella McGrew, of Indianapolis. Hls wife and baby survive him. Flynn was In miserable health last summer, but never complained. After winding up with the Matthews club he took his wife and baby to Chicago, so as to be with hls mother. The disease which had been lurking in him for years began an aggressive attack on his system, and he could not resist. The doctors said his death was due to hasty consumption. Flynn was never fully appreciated by the Indianapolis baseball patrons. For three years he was knocked about as a utility man until he lost confidence In himself, and was criticised by the cfanks. This cut him deeply. He did the best he could, and often played when other men in the same condition would have been In bed. During the season of 1900,/when the club had an unparalleled run of hard luck In crippling players, Flynn relieved Madison at short and played for two weeks with both hips and hts knees blood raw from sliding to bases, pledging the other players not to tell Manager Watkins hls condition. Finally Kelly reported his condition, and

Yale won the Intercollegiate chess match which closed Saturday night. Columbia was second, Harvard third and

Princeton fourth.

The report that Hildebrand, the former Princeton star tackle, has been asked to coach the Wisconsin football eleven next season, has been denied by the Wisconsin athletic board of control. President Roosevelt has notified Baron Coubartin, president of the International committee having in charge the Olympian gamea of 1904, that he can not preside at the contests, which will be held in Chi-

cago that year.,

The athletic authorities at Harvard have declined an invitation extended to the members of the Harvard footbaii eleven to be the guests of President Roosevelt at a dinner given In their honor. The players have resented the action of the authorities, and several of them say they will not play next season. AN OLD MAN ROBBED. Struck on the Head in Front of Hls

„ Own Home,

Michael McKinney, seventy years old,

was robbed In front of bis home, at 34 West South street, about 9 o'clock last night. He was about to open bis front gate, when he was felled by a blow from behind. A gold watch and considerable money were taken from his pockets. Mr. McKinney's ear was torn and he received a severe, scalp wound. He was rendered unconscious and was unable to tell, when

revived, anything about hls assailant. Hand Engine Firemen's Club. The annual meeting for the election of

officers of the Veteran Hand Engine Firemen’s Club, was held yesterday afternoon, In Blanchard’s undertaking rooms. Ben f. Oresh was chosen president; Charles H. Rihl, vice-president; D. W.Brouse, secretary and treasurer; John W. Petty, John M. Bohmie and J. A. Nett-

This- Is only one example of hls willingness to do the best he could, and had his strength been equal to hls courage, he would have been one of the great play-

ers of the country.

A more popular ball player among hls associates never played In this city. If he had an enemy in the world It was never known, and on hls part he was never jealous of the success of another player, even though it was to hls own disadvantage. Flynn joined the Indianapolis team In 1897, and. with the exception of two months of the season of 1900, played In this city until the sudden finish of the Western Association team last summer. BAN JOHNSON IN THE CITY.

He Ha» No Antagonism to the American Association, He Says. Ban B. Johnson, the genial president of the American League, was In Indianapolis yesterday afternoon and evening, In consultation with Joe Gavin, business manager of the Boston baseball club, in regard to improvements in the Boston grounds. He said that the American League was now beyond the trouble-mak-ing stage, and he was well pleased with the outlook for next season. Until the National League magnates settled their internal strife there could be no definite steps looking to peace between the two leagues. He hoped, however, that Mr. Spalding would secure control of the organization, as he stood for the best in baseball, and It would be an easy matter then to settle the differences between the two leagues. He said that he was favor ably Impressed with the new American Association, in which this city Is represented, and said he thought It would compare favorably with the old Western League, which he built up. He denied that he had allied himself with the present Western League for the purpose of assisting It In the fight against the American Association, and said tbe American League would keep hands off and let the two organisations settle their own differences-

The Rev. R. V. Hunter will Go to Buffalo This Week. The congregation of the Seventh Presbyterian church. Presbyterian pastors of the city and other friends of the Rev. R. V. Hunter bade him good-by at a farewell service at his church last night. Mr. Hunter will leave the latter part of *he week for Buffalo, where he will become pastor of the Central Presbyterian church. Many of Mr. Hqnter’s friends and associates in Christian work expressed regret at his departure and wished him success in his new field. The Rev. M. L. Haines, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, and the Rev. S. C. Dickey congratulated the departing pastor on the work he had d^ne in this city. C. H. Smith, formerly a member of the Seventh church, recalled Mr. Hunter’s first sermon In this city, eighteen years ago. George W. Wishard. formerly of this city, now of St. Paul. Minn., spoke as a personal friend of Mr. Hunter. Mr. Hunter said he expected to do the same kind of work In Buffalo that he had done In Indianapolis, and expressed regret at leaving hls friends in this city. No new pastor for the Seventh church has been selected. What Makes Child Criminals. The Rev. Virgil W. Tevis, pastor of the Fletcher Place M. E. church, preached yesterday morning on “Child Criminals: Their Cause and 7’ helr Cure. ’ Incidentally he spoke against card playing, particularly society card parties, criticising women who seemed to “iove their dances and progressive euchre parties more than their babies.” He said heredity was not so much to blame for child criminals as some people thought. Some spoke of drudgery on the farm. He said that “drudgery” w’as not an evil, but a blessing to the growing boy or girl. It was a means of discipline that was not to be belittled. It was lack of employment that led to wrongdoing and to departure from the path of duty and upright living. He attributed much of the juvenile viciousness to a lack of proper -.noral irstruction in the home; advocated a rigid enforcement of the curfew law and also the establishment of an industrial school to which youthful law violators might be sent. Other Service*. The Rev. F. E. Dewhurst, of Chicago, formerly pastor of the Plymouth Congregational church of this city, preached to hls old congregation yesterday morning. He received a cordial welcome. The Rev. Lewis Brown, rector of St. Paul’A Episcopal church, preached a sermon to Masons last night, that was heard by a large number of members of the fraternity, although no lodge attended In a body. Mr. Brown said that Masonry was closely connected with the Bible, Its first great principle being God. Installation Service To-Night. The Rev. Samuel J. Tomlinson, of Irvington, will be Installed as pastor of the Hill-avenue Christian church at 7:30 o’clock this evening. Mr. Tomlinson has been in charge of the Christian church at Elkhart and was recently chosen pastor of the Hillside-avenue congregation. The Rev. A. B. Philputt, of the Central Christian church: the Rev. C. C. Rowlison, of the Third Christian church, and other pastors of the city vill speak at the Installation service to-night There will be special music and a general reception to the new pastor after the service. DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES. Election of Delegates^ for Seventh District Convention. The election of delegates'to the Seventh district Democratic convention is taking place to-day. The primaries were by wards and townships under the Joss law. By an act of the last Legislature, Marlon county alone constitutes the district. Tbe Indications were that the vote would be light, as llttls interest has been manifested. T. Taggart himself, who Is regarded as a candidate for the district chairmanship, although he has not announced himself, has given the matter little attention, as he has been at French Lick nearly all the time since the call for the primaries was issued. It Is admitted, however, that the district convention, which will be held Thursday afternoon at 2 at the Cleveland Club, will simply be a Taggart ratification unless he should refuse to accept again. He has been committeeman for a number of years. The primaries began at 4 this afternoon, and the polls will close at 8 tonight. The voting places In the city are as follows: First ward, No. 2 engine house. Hillside avenue; Second ward, engine house, Ashland avenue and Sixteenth street; Third ward. No. 6 engine house; Fourth ward, No. 9 engine house; Fifth ward, Agnes and New York streets; Sixth ward, No. 1 engine house; Seventh ward, fire department headquarters; Eighth ward, No. 15 engine house; Ninth ward, rear 1316 English avenue; Tenth ward, South street engine house; Eleventh ward, Hobson’s Hall, Merrill and West streets; Twelfth ward, No. 19 engine house; Thirteenth ward. Prospect and East streets; Fourteenth ward, 1906 Shelby street; Fifteenth ward, 1129 Capitol avenue, South. Nearly every county In the State will select delegates yto-day or to-morrow, as all the district conventions will be held Thursday. Dan W. Sims, of Lafayette, who has been mentioned for Tenth district chairman, said to-day that he would not accept. Edwin Forrest, present committeeman. is not a candidate, as he has moved to Chicago. NOTHING FROM PHYSICIANS. Not One Answered Appeals for McKinley Monument Fund. The Indiana auxiliary committee of the McKinley Memorial Association sent out 480 letters to physicians of this city asking for subscriptions. Not a single reply of any kind was received. The committee sent 450 letters to lawyers and got $30 as a result. The fund collected in this State now amounts to $1^71.50.

BROSNAN’S

Passion Play Lectures. Harry E. Felcht, of Dayton, O., lectured yesterday at the Park Theater to two large audiences on “Oberammergau: Its People and Its Passion Play,” Illustrating bis lecture with many views of the village folk who take part In the ;Yay, and with scenes from the play itself. Mr- Feicht’s lecture Is, in effect, much more of a sermon than an entertainment. The lecturer makes little or no attempt at oratory. He tells the story of the play Itself from beginning to end, showing most of the important scenes and tableaux. The most striking group of pictures he presents is that showing the village folk going ebout their vocations and the same folk as they appeared ta their costumes for the play. Many people were unable to get seats yesterday. Mr. Felcht will return to the Park next Sunday and repeat the lecture twice.

Secretly Married a Year Ago. It become known to-day that Chaplain C. B. Newsom, of the Indiana Reform School for Boys, was secretly married about a year ago to Miss Mattie Fisher, of 1124 Union stiect. W. C. VanArsdel, one of the trustees of the Reform School, said the question of tbe chaplain's being married did not come up when Mr. Newsom was appointed, and that tbe board does not care one way or the other about it. Mr. Newsom will continue to be chaplain

of the institution.

Little Stories of Dally Life

Hls name is not Lodgess, but that is near enough to answer and, anyway, he Is known better as simply William, Will, or “Bill.” His occupation is such as to take him about over the country the greater part of hls time, and hls wife, forced to amuse herself to a great extent, has taken up the fad of collecting—almost anything that can be gotten into a moderately large home. William. Jr., has also been for some time a collector of things of no especial commercial value. He was an enthusiastic accumulator of tin tobacco tags until the fad died through the surreptitious Introduction of candy tags by some scheming youths. Through the fad of collecting postage stamps he went with flying colors, assisted by senior William and wife, and It was probably In this mild and inoffensive sport that Mrs. Lodgess first became infected with the collecting fad. She began by stocking her home with sofa pillows made from cigar ribbons, with the name, preferably, in plain view;

was equally warm and much more terse, but seemed to be conducive to clear thought, for he conceived a brilliant scheme. When he arrived In hls home city again he Immediately repaired to a queensware store and there purchased copiously of cups and saucers, across each of which he carefully wrote the city from which he was supposed to have brought It, and then had the clerk wrap each piece separately, and the whole in a large, impressive box. Hls wife received him with open arms and hls hypocritical soul rejoiced. Carefully she undid the box and began to unwrap each separate piece. With the first wrapper came a breeze of indignation, with the second came a storm and with the third wrapper a perfect simoon of wrath, for the guileless clerk had wrapped each piece in paper bearing in glaring type the advertisement of hls store. Reasons for It. [Chicago Poet] The stranger had gone out In a rain coat, and had come back shivering In a snow storm. "Why is it,' he asked disgustedly, "that you have so many different kinds of weathet^’’ The wiicsgoan looked at him in surprise. “We aim to please," he said, “and we have such a coemopolitan population to suit.”

then came pillows made from the neckwear of great men. and the collection of queer coin, which William, Sr., did not encourage, as It resulted in the tying up of tdo much capital. After a time she was seized with the souvenir spoon fad, and with It came trouble for William. Each town that he visited was expected to be productive of a spoon peculiar to the piace and If tbe spoon were not forthcoming there were suggestions that he had never been in such a town at all. The souvenir spoon craze abated and the heart of William, Sr., waxed glad. But a worse blbw was yet to fall. Through the instigation of a dear friend she conceived the idea of having William accumulate cups and saucera at the various places he touched. Remonstrances were of no avail and when William next left the city he had in hls trunk a roll of cotton for the purpose of packing hls fragile collection. At the end of the week a frail pasteboard box came to Mrs. Lodgess, She opened It with feverish haste and disclosed a scene of wreckage which gave the Impression that a queensware store had been romping with a foundry. The letter that she wrote to William was not pleasant. and informed him that china ware hereafter must be brought home in his t luggage. The language used by William
