For the next month preeldortttal as
pirants, thedotntis f kings and quwn,
panics and wars, th ujw and downs of
commerce and other ordinarily inter
evtiiiK news events will all l over
shadowed by th modern RlaiMatora.
fclr. OortHfft and Mr. Fltssinitiions, says
the Chicago lally News. Should either
of three gentlemen run a splinter in to
his left ithnnib the news would 'In.' ashed
to all quarters of the civilised world.
Should Mr. Cornet consume threw mut

his vr's agent will Haunt the stupen

164 punches In 'the name spuce of time,
mathematicians will boon hand to show

iiut should Mr. Fttsslmniona Invent
-a new right'hnnd rrtomaoh ldv the
supjurters of Mr. Corbtt will become
ttaiilc-strickei unit 11 It is announced
that Mr. CorKst has Just created a
wonderful l.eft-hand upper cut whk-h
will lif t tMr. 'Frtzslmmons into the land
of losers.
This Is one way of looking- at the com
Itiff flfhi at lnUas. Tex., on Out. 81.
which is toikviile'the ownership of $61.
000. 'to nay nothing of the title of cham
pionship, which Is wvrth another $ii,voo
ysar or more.
Flcht of tho Century.
One thing is certain that It will be
the tight of Irhe century. tioth men be
ing exponent, of the new school of piikI
llsni, In - which srlenoe Is everything,
luwh men aiv crafty, evenly matclwd
physically, and are after the almighty
dollar with a et and energy which
promises a 'bitter comet--. Hesldea, they
hate etuih other. When ftlr. Coruett
pat In the face of 'Mr. Frtzslmnions In
a Philadelphia cufe a short time ago
he did it for a purpose. He wanted to
provoke- Fttzslmmous in,to doing gome
thing which will cau the Corbet t hate
to rt- up In all Its strength.
Few people know It, but It Is part of
Corbett's creed not to tight a man until
he has made of him a personal enemy.
voroeu ays wnen ne goes into the
ring he Wants to be "dead sore" on the
man against htm. Dozens of lights
have been lost by men who have al
lowed their sympathies to Interfere at
ihe "critical time. No one has yet ac
cused Corbett of being sympathetic or
of showing mercy to an opponent when
money was at stake.
But the calm and deliberate Fitzsim
mons Is not looking for sympathy at
any stage of the game. "All-1 want."
says he, "Is an even run for my money
and If I can't thump his pompadour
head off I'll take my medicine all
right."
Tcrrihlo Kijht.
. Each man counts upon putting the
otfwraan out by a right-hand swing
on thepolnt of the Jaw. As such a
blow win" b worth a great fortune to
the man wh lands it it Is a matter of
Interest to l:vpect these right hands.
If anything. Vltzsimmons' right Is a
better one thart Corbett's. In the first
place. It Is larger, the circumference
being nine and one-half inches, meas
ured around the palm Inside the thumb,
' whlU Corbett's measures but eight
inches.
Fitzsimmons Is a9 careful about his
hands as a society belle, but in an en
tirely different way. "While she en
deavors to keep them soft and small,
FItz works to keep his hard and large.
The fact that he labored many years In
a blacksmith shop in Australia ac
counts for the great strength ami hard
ness of his hands. The individual
fingers on Fitz's hands are thicker and
stronger looking than Corbett's and all
the tiny muscles and cords seem better
developed.
f V . 1 . I. - . i m
.oiueiL never nau me advantage oi a
muscle-making trade to follow. The
strength of his hands has been largely
cultivated. He exercises daily on a
wrist michlne which also strengthens
the hand. Close attention Is paid to
this work. The need of hands which
can stand a terrific strain without
weakening any of the numerous small
bones Is a fundamental requirement of
the fighter. In a long-drawn-out bat
tle the best man has more than once
been deprived of victory by weak
hands, particularly when pitted against
a "glutton for punishment." The In
cessant smashing of the hand against
the face and body of a well-trained
fighter forces the lower knuckles Into
the back of the hand, breaking many
of the small bones. Such an accident
takes the heart out of the best fighter
and no matter how great his courago.
he cannot put the same steam Into a
blow when he knows that when his
hand lands it Is going to cause him the
most acute agony.
.. . Hitting Muscles..
The hitting muscles are those on the
sides of the back, close to the arm
pit, and those running from the neck tj
the 4op-:of the shoulder. CorbeU's
back muscles are longer and cleaner
than Fitzsimmons', "but'the latter Is
better off In the top shoulder muscles.
The average strong man would look
with disdain upon the muscular develop
ment of e-lther Corbeitt or Fitzsimmons.
He -would find no great bunches of
muscles on any part of their respective
anatomy. uotn or tnese men avoid
tightening their muslcles or accumulat
ing too much of them. In the fear of
Interfering with their speed. If either
one were hampered by great bunches
of muscles he would fall an easy vic
tim to the other. A 'body with every
muscle and cord, downi to the smallest
and (most minute, evenly developed,
is wha't both are aiming at. Ixng,
clean, flexible muscles are the most
serviceable kind. If they are made too
hard the man becomes muscle-bound
and tn first-class company he Is sure
to be whipped.
.The neck Is the most vulnerable part
of -the prizefighter, and both FItz and
Cortiett are devoting considerable at
tention to building up the muscles on
the sides to protect the -delicate cords
and bones from assault. An examina
tion of all clever prizefighters will show
that the neck from the ear to the
shoulder Is almost in. a straight line,
while .the neck of. the- average man
curves Inward at this point. It Is the
constant development which gives this
tftrailght line. Iloth Fits and Corbett
would consider It a great acquisition If
their necks bulged between the ear and
shoulder. Then they' would be almost
invulnerable at this point.
UARKY WRIGHT DYING.
The Base Ball Veteran Stricken Down'
with Typhoid Pneumonia. . -
Old-time base-tail cranks and even
many pf the present day "rooters" will
learn with sincere sorrow- that Harry
Wright, the veteran base ball player,
ex-manager of the Philadelphia club,
ex-president of the National league,
and at present chief o the staff ef
league umpires, to tengehuly 111 In
a sanitarium at 'Atlantic City, suffer
ing1 with- typhoid pneumonia and a
complication of diseases, ,
Mr. Vfrifht went to the sanitarium
about a week ago -suffering with affec
tions ef the throat and bronchial tubes,
and ha hd been there only a few days
wlren typhoid pneumonia set In. 'Yes
terday there was a consultation of
prominent physicians, and from their
lagnof It is was concluded that Mr.
Wright's chances of surviving were
very slight. As be Is to years of age.
he Is leeis able to cope with the disease
than a man some years his Junior,
ihvr two-thirds of the veteran's life
have been spent upon the ball Held.
Reports from his bedside yesterday
stated that his condition was un
changed. READY FOR TOOT BALL.

tween the Soraraton lllcycle club eleven
and the Stroudsburg Normal school.
Several weeks of practice play have
put the eranton men In tine fettle and
they gave an idea of their ability Tues
day, when, deprived of four of the reg
ular players, they ran up a score of
thli'ty-six points nguinxt the eleven of
St. Thomas' college, who could not
make a tally. Connery and Allen

The great pennant race In the Na
tional league Is very aptly commented
upon by Sam Crane, tin- Imse ball writ
er for the .New York Commercial Ad
vertiser. What follows appeared in yes
terday's ) alt-r and is a sensible view of
the situation, which is only slightly al
tered by yesterday's lialtlmore's vie
t.ry: 'Tinier the league rules the
Philadelphia club has the right t tue
postponed game, titul consvuuently the
came to have been played at the I'olo
grounds on Thursday will have to be
played n some other day. The rulej
alt i make H imperative for the I'.altl
mores to play their postponed game
w ith the New Yol ks, ua It is the last se
ries with them. Consequently the Ori
oles ui-e In the same position as they
wre previous to ysturduy's game.
They lit ill tmve six games to play, and
must win four to Insure them the cham
pionship. Two garni s In one day, as
will be made nevessary here, Is apt to be
n. great stn.in on the leaders, and I con
sldemheir chances of winning from the
New Yorks somewhat lessened, if they
can win b.th games from the Phillies
they are nil right, for no one looks for
the New York!o beat them more than
two guinea of the four."

"Wllkes-Barre, Pa., Sept. 25. The
Tribune trophy cup, forfeited by the
Scran ton base ball club, of the East
ern league, to Wllkes-Barre, was de
livered In this city this afternoon to
E. F. Bogert, president of the Wllkes
Harre base ball association, and II.
I. Merrill, the base ball writer of the
Wllkes-Barre Itecord, who have been
selected as custodians of the trophy for
one years. Upon the delivery of the
cup the following acknowledgment
was made:

We. E. F. Bogert und H. O. Merrill, of
Wllkes-Barrn, hereby acknowledge tho
delivery to us of the Sciimton Tribune
Trophy cup; wo receive It with the knowl
edge that it belongs to the donor until
such time as It Is finally given according
to the trophy agreement; we h nd our
selves to return it to the Scranton Trib
une one week preceding the close of the
1KII6 Eastern league Yjase hall season or
at any time that the flnranton Trlliuno
may dictate.
(Signed) E. F. Bogert.
(Signed! H. (. Merrill.
Wllkes-Barre, Pa., Sept. 25, m.
Tho trophy was greatly admired by
all who saw It, nnd will for sometime
be placed on exhibition In Dlllcy's res
taurant. Later It will probably be kept
In the office of the Wllkes-Barre Lead
er, of which Mr. Bogert Is editor.
Wllkes-Barre cranks feel that the ex
istence of the cup will exert a good In
fluence on the game In the two cities,
and will urge both clubs to a greater
effort In 1896. It Is the general verdict
that If Heranton and Wllkes-iBarre fin
ish close together next year there will
be a real battle royal on the part of
Scranton to get the cup, and on the
part of Wllkes-iBarre to keep It.
UndeT the trophy agreement the cup
must be won In three yearly series be
for it ran be finally claimed by YVIIkes
Itarre or Scranton. Until then It Is tho
property of The Tribune, but will be
placed In the keeping of custodians
for whichever club wins the series from
year to year.

CHILDREN'S WIT AND WISDOM.
From the Great Divide.
"Nothing escapes your eagle eye, Har
old," said a proud father. "No, nor my
eagle ear, either, replied the lad.
"What Is an epistle?" asked a Sunday
school teaiiher of her class, "The'wlfe of
an upostle," replied a young hopeful.
A boy's description of having a tooth
pulled expresses It about as well as any
thing we havo seen: "Just before it
killed me the tooth c-ame out."
A wise Aurora, III., child whose big sis
ter Is an ardent cyclist was trying to tell
a visitor what bloomers were. "They're
Just like pants," he said, "only fatter."
Harry's mamma saw her three-year-old
picking the bark off a tree. She said:
"Don't do that, Hurry. It will hurt the
tree." "Why, no it won't, mamma. It
Just makes the tree cool."
Little three-year-old was out In the
fields the other day, and came running In
with: "I saw a pansy and I was gotng to
pick It up, and It was a butterfly and it
Hied away."
Her grandmother was so sick thnt the
report got out that she was dead. A sym
pathetic old gentleman met the child on
the street. "And when Is your grand
mother to be burled, my dear?" he asked
her, "Not till she's dead, sir."
Business man (with his feet on his desk,
to small applicant) Boy, don't you know
enough when you enter a gentleman's
office to take your hat off?
Hoy (taking off his .ha t) Yes, sir. Where
shall I hang It on your feet?
A small boy began his regular prayer In
his regular way: "Now I--lay me"
and there he stuck fast. "Down" said
his mother, promptly. Whereupon Johnny
set olt again with great alacrity and flu
ency: "Down came a blackbird and
nipped off her nose."
When Harry was four years old, his
grandmother was trying to teach htm to
count, unit asked, "How many legs have
you?" He answered promptly. "Two."
"How many legs has Brownie?" After
loooklng lit the dog a moment, he replied,
"Brownie has one on ouch corner."
Mother (io Bobby I'm shocked to hear
that Willie Wuflles whipped the poor cat.
My little hoy wouldn't do such a thing .
Bobby (with conscious moral superior
ity) No, Indeed, ma.
Mother Why didn't you slop him,
Bobby?
Bobby I could't, ma. I was holding the
cat.

Mr, William Thornton, of 127 W. Market
Street, Kxplalns llow and
Why He Bid It.
From the Elmlra Gazette.
Did age has many Infirmities, none ot
which are more prevalent than kidney dis
orders. Have you ever noticed how the
old people complain of backache, lamo
back, and generul llstlessness? And thero
ore many other symptoms of which they
do not speak, such as bloating of the limbs,
painful and Infrequent urination or excess
Iveness of the urinary discharge. Most
people think they nre too old to llnd relief
and cure, but this In not so. No bettor ev
idence than the. following, which conies
from an Elmlra citizen, who has been
cured of a very severe case at 77 years of
age. Mr. William Thornton, of 127 West
Market street, speaks of his case In this
way: "I am 77 years old. I have been
atnicted with that dreadful complulnt
(kidney disease) for over ten years, mak
ing my old ago a burden. I wns mo bud as
to be forced to carry a belt at all times,
and, when, my suffering became beyond
endurance, 1 would put on the belt, draw
ing it tightly around mo and buckle it,
thus bringing an extreme pressure over
the kidneys; this, undoubtedly, forced the
urine out, a function which the kidneys
themselves hnd become too dlseHsed to
perform. My condition I put down to a
strain I received.. I began taking Doan's
Kidney Pills. I was much surprised, as
the aliment was so severe and so long
standing, while I had tried many remedies
without any relief whatever. The pain I
have experienced at times from straining
In my efforts to discharge the urine was
Imply awful. 4 hove done away with the
use of my leather belt, and the pain has
all gone, and I recommend Doan's Kidney
pills to all afflloted with kidney and
urinary disorders." ,
