GENERAL SPORTING KLT7S OP THE DAY fSFFCIAIi TELEGBAM TO TOE DISrATrH.1 (XewYork, Oct 31. The grent Choyn-sW-Goiifrey fight crowded the Coney Island Athletic Club to-night, and the spec ulators felt that they had the worth of their nibney when they saw the blonde Hebrew bay knock out his dusky foe in the 15th round. Preceding the great $5,000 battle vps a lively go between Dolly Lyons, of 2ew Xork, and Kid Hocan, of Brooklyn. T3ie Kid fought Bill Plimmer once and Lyons was George Dixon's sparring partner. There was a purse .hung up for a ten-round scrap ' between these two at 115 pounds, but Lyons forfeited part of the sum by not being at weight. The men fought at catch weights for the remainder. The youngsters fought a rattling bout, Hogan knocking his man down three times and Lyons scoring one. Hogan's superior work got him the decision. On the conclusion of the Hogan-Lyons fight the 6.000 persons present chatted ani matedly about the merits of Godlrey ana Clioynski and commented upon the proba bility of Hogan going under had he fought Lyons to a finish. The Big Men Appear. At 9:50 o'clock official announcer Fred Burns entered the ring and told the assem bly all about the contest between the stars for the $5,000 prize. He told tbem xhat Dominick O'Malley, of New Orleans, would time for Clioynski and that Ilobert Stoll, of New York, would look after the club's interests at the gong. "Win. lleedy, of Lewiston, Me., held the watch for God frey. At precisely 9:55 Choynski's blond head showing above the upturned collar of a huge ulster towered above the crowd leading from the dres sing room. At bis heels trotted "Old Chocolate." as Godfrey Is called. The colored fighter's bulsins calves.Iong, stronir arms, and small, cone-shuned head have been familiar In the prize rin-j for many years, both J".:ist and West of the Rockies. Chovnski's lace Is brisht and intelligent, Ills skin as pink and white as a dairy maid's. Like Corbett he w ears his hair pompadour. Al Smith, who has acted for the Coney Island Club for some lime, declined to act owing to indisposition, and the club ap pointed John Eckhart in his stead. lie fore commencing hostilities there was a spirited talk in the middle of the i-lngie-gatdlnfr the rule governing clinching. Clioynski wore red tiithts, while Godfrey's netiier limbs were clad in blue. Both wore leather fighting snoes and were stripped to the waist. Cboyniki was seconded by John WcVey, of Pnllartelphla: Jimmy Carroll, of of Ilrooklrn, and Parson Davles, or Chicago. Godfrey m looked after by Frank Steele, Jim Godfrey. Jack McGec and Prof. Wlll Inrns. tYra.liilcy held time for hltn. Choyn y ski fought at 168 pounds and Godlrey at ITS pounds. The Big Battle Begins.

Godfrey tried to force matters and Joe hit him on the cheek and necK and cot homo on tho tiody. lie missed repeatedly, however, lie planted his left m the colored man's stomach as the round closed. In round three Clioynski began with a Jett-nanderon tho wind, and dodged God frey's louime. GodfreV then chased the white boy, but Chovnski was as elusive as Corbett. Ilo was finally corneied. but got three terrific lefts on Godfrey's juw. Choyn skl. by beautiful struight-arm work, held GoJfrev off. Godfmy's eyes wore closed hon the round ended. In the fourth round Choynskl got in twice on Godfrey's wind, milking tho colored man wince. Godfrey tried all tho rushes used by lilm with so much success In his other bat tle", but tho wliito lad was too clever and was never w here Godfrey thought he was. In the last halt minute Godfrey planted his right twice on the Calllornian's back. One hundred dollars to $00 on Choynskl was whispered In the boxes. In the fifth ronnd Godfrey camo in, Clioynski side-stepping away Irom danger and giving the colored man a rib roaster as . lie wont. Joe gave Godlrey two stinging " blows on the back. "Old Chocolate" de livered a terrific right hnnder over the lieart, stacgering Choynskl to the ropes. ne followed it with a teniflc smash with the right oil the eye that drew blood. Godfrey Slakes a Good Rally. In the sixth round no execution was done on cither side until Godfrey hit his opponent on the mouth. Ilo got two left banders on the neck in return. Choynskl appeared to be losing his stile, nnd missed two right h:ind swings. In tho seventh round Godfi ev lea oft nnrt , got his lelt on Choynski's nose and tho ' white man's head went back with a Jerk. Choynskl missed a left hand swing, but bit the colored man twice on the stomach and neck heavily. They fousht on the ropes, Clioynski escaping a wicked upper cut nnd getting in a hard left hand drive on God- ,. frey's stomach. Eighth ronnd Godfrey got a straicht left on the stomach. Godfrey then got home on Choj n ski's so re eye. The latter landed on the chin. Both landed in two splendid rallies, and as they stepped back Godlrey scoied a pretty knockdown. Battling flut-ln"-, ensued until tho gong rang. " In the ninth round a pretty counter saw 'both get home on the stomach but the white man got in two hard smashes on the stomach in quick succession and followed It up with another. He then hit Godfrey on the damaged eye. In tenth lound Choynskl landed twice -.getting one on the neck in return. Both ".missed terrific sningsbnt Godfrey forced bis man to the ropes and smashed him on the month. Choynskl was careless and like a flah Godfrey upper cat him with terrific force. Joe squared matters by repeated thrusts on the stomach. It Was Hot and Furious. In the eleventh both men fought for tho " body, Godfrey assuming the offensive. He left an opening, and got one on the ear and another on the chin. Choynskl again got in on the chin twice, and then on the stomach. The colored man's mouth was swollen and I bleeding. uoairey ica on in tne twelfth with his left on Joe's stomach, and got a hard strai'Mit left over tho heart. Choynskl then visited the colored man's mouth, and was thrown a moment later. He then jabbed Godfrey twice on the month, and In the rally on the ropes cot a right and left on the mouth and ear. Before the gong sounded there was a rapid exchange, and Choynskl slipped to the ground, many thinking It a knock down, bnt It was not. r In round 13 Godfrey rushed in and Clioynski went to the ropes, then ran out or danger on nil fours. Choynskl got In two rattling blows on the stomach and neck and followed It up with blows on tho breast, stomach and Jaw.

Oct. 3L According to the latest baseball story here, BuckEwingls to become a member of the local team, an agroement naving been made between the Wagners and tbe New Tork management to that effect. It is understood, also, that Danny Richardson Is to return to the New Tnrks as a part of this deal, and that a good stiff price has been promised for the king or second basemen and shortstops. It has been suggested that by this means Klchardson could be prevailed upon not to push his threatened suit against the local manage ment lor advance money paid to him. The local patrons of the game are up in arms against such a deal as has been proposed. Thev contond that if Ewlng 1b not good enough for New Tork, he certainly wHl not benefit Washington, for new and stronger plnyers are needed to keep them out of the last hole. One thing is certain, however; the Wagners will have to stir themselves considerably to retain the confidence of the lovers of tho national pastime In this city. Vondy Denies It, St. Louis, Oct. SI. Special President Von derAhe sfated yesterday that the-ro- port which has been sent onttliat ho,wanted Mike Kelly In exchange for Buckley Is a fake, pure and simple.

Then, again, Kelly was instrumental In get ting Stlvette and JUcCarthy away from Bt. Louis, nnd he wants nothing to do with him. Mr. Von del- Ahe states that no one has been engaged to captain the Browns next season. He will get a goodjuun when the time comes. IMPOKTAHT TO AMATETJES. The L. A. W. Racing Board Has a Diffi cult yuestlon to Tackle. New Yore, Oct. 31. Since the meeting of the Bacing Board of the Leaguo of Ameri can Wheelmen, held at Chicago last week, much speculation has been .indulged In as to the decision arrived at regarding the ama teur question. There has been preserved a decided silence by all the members of the board bearing on this subject, which Is of such vital Importance to the membership of the organization at large. That a change has been decided upon is admitted, and only tbc necessary care which must be exercised in formulating the wording of the new rules accounts for the reticence displayed on the subject. There are to-day in tho amateur fold of the League of American Wheelmen two classes ot racing men tho fast, and, conse quently, prominent riders, who takd ad vantage of the loose provision of the pres ent amateur rules to gain a vlehood thereby, and the amateur whose lack of any great speed rolegates him to a minor position In the racing world, and who pro portionately has no market value. The lormer class are regularly paid by the man ufacturer to ride his make of wheel through the medium or various clubs, who put out the racing teams under their colors and names. These men are admittedly receiving the same supportas the amateur who lacks the advantage of first-class trainers and all ex penses paid. This, briefly, Is the only one which confronts the racing board, and a solution or the difficulty is not easy to ar rive at. It is plain that the men must be separated. In Justice to all, that an equal b.isls must be established, and yet not split the organization upon the rock of profes sionalism. At present the amateur rule is a farce, and the powers that do cannot Ignore the tact that while it Is not possible, exoept in raro cases, to proclaim men professional under Its pi ovlsions all the evils ot makers amateurism prevail. The change necessary Is of a constitutional nature, and such action is dependent upon the favor of the National Assembly at a constitutional convention called for the purpose, and the powers of the racing board begin and end with the offering of suitable amendments, which will be taken care of by the present noatd. These amendments will be the result of carefnl study, derived from the experience of the past season, which has been the most energetic in the history of the League. From what can be learned, the changes that will bo advised by the racing board will not in clude a recommendation for cash prizes. They are steadfastly opposed to such a so lution of the question, and believe that the method will simply precipitate the down fall of the organization, w inch has been built up to its present prominent position by 13 years or progressive management. MOEEISSEY WAS DEFEATED. Ixing Beats Him In Their 100-Tard Race and Downs the Talent. One of the most interesting foot races that has taken place In Western Pennsylvania for a long time was tbat between Pat Mor rlssoy and J. Lung at Monongahola City yes terday. They ran a 100-yard race for ?200 a side. Mr. T. llalley was referee. The bet ting was exceedingly heavy at $1C0 to $S0 on Morrissey, and at this Uorrlssey money went begging. 'S The runners were sent away to a capital start. Long soon showed in front and won a snlendid race bv two yards. Long was In receipt of three yards start. The result was a surprise, and the time was given out at 10 seconds. About 1,000 people saw the race. A Great Record Broken.

C Pittsburg Combination Clothing Company, corner Grant and Diamond streets, opposite Court Ifouae, THOMAS CALLED DOWN The Civil Service Commission mands the Prosecution of De- A STATE COMMITTEE TREASURER. llr. Eooaeyelt Fajs It Isn't the First Case of the .Kind, Lot TIIE RATIONAL COMMITTEE ISVT IN IT Washington, Oct. 3L The Civil Ser vice Commission has reported to tbe At torney General, for criminal prosecution under tbe lav against soliciting political contributions, the case of .Samuel Thomas, Treasurer of the Republican State Commit tee of Kew York. Three separate offenses are charged, consisting of sending letters of solicitation to Government clerks in this city. The documents in each case are for warded with tbe report. The letters call for no specified sum, but request the contribution of such an amount as the recipient may choose to give toward the necessary and legitimate expenses of the campaign. Mr. Boosevelt, to-day, inco mmenting on the commission's action in the Thomas case, said: This is the first time the Civil Service Commission has ever actively interfered, to prevent tho collection or political assess ments during a Presldental campaign. The commission has been obliged to suggest the indictment of a number of chairmen and of ficers of Kepnbllcan State and county coin mltteec, but I am delUhted to say that noth ing in anv war reflecting on the Benublican National Committee has yet been laid before us. So far, it seems beyond a doubt true, that tbe Kepnbllcan National Committee has been carefully respecting the law. This is a pleasing contrast to what was done by the Democratic National Committee, four years ago, when they not only assessed the postal clerkB and tetter carriers in tho local offices, but when actually tbe Chairman, Mr. Barnum, came down to Washington and took up bis quarters here with the avowed purpose of seeing personally to the assess ment of tho thousands of government em ployes In the departments. Attorney General Miller, when ques tioned on the subject this afternoon, said he had just received the papers in the case, and had not yet had time to examine them. He added that he would investigate this par ticular case himself, but certainly would not act until Mr. Thomas bad been given full opportunity to answer the charges againBt him. There is nothing unusual in this course, as it is the practice in all cases of this kind. A telegram from New York says: The report irom Washington alleging that the Civil Service Commission hnd recommended the criminal prosecution of General Thomas was treated lightly at Republican State headquarters this afternoon. Chairman Hackett was seen on the subject Ue smiled when told of the report, and said: I hardly credit tho report. However, I can Bay that there is positively nothing In the charges upon which it is 8'ated that they have asked the Attorney General to Crosecnte General Thomas. The letters sent y this committee to Republicans asking lor contributions to legitimate campaign expenses are exactly such letters as Tam many and tho Democrats at large are send ing out. There is no demand made for money, and the recipients of tho letters are not addressed as office-holders. If office holders under the Government receive such letters they get them at their homes, Just as other Republicans do. There Is nothing in It, you may be certain. FEMENTED 0B TJNFEBHFHTED, One-Third of -American Pastors Still Stick to the Old Style Wine, Denver, Oct. 31 At to-day's session of the 'W. C. T.
