Tcrre Haute, July 29. When Second
Raseman Morrison, of the local club,
wua snylnK Rood-by to President
Schmidt, of the bankrupt company,
which owned the club, lie renwrkod
that, for some reason, he could not tell
wimt, ho had been unaWu to "get hU
eye on tho ball."
Piesldent Hehmldt, who is nn opti
cian, jestingly told him that he ought
to liavo his eyes examined, and Mor
rison conscntlniT, the examination was
made. It was found that the eye
which hail been most exposed to tho
run while playing' second base on tho
home grounds was badly strained,
President Schmidt now says tho hall
players ought to have their eyes exam
ined frequently, because It may often
foe the case when they are "off In their
hatting" that there is a derangement
of the nerves or muscles which control
the focus, which, not foelng as quick
as It should foe, necessarily litis an ef
fect on tho ability of tho batter to
hit the ball.

BERNSTEIN WINS
FROM RED WRIGHT
Tiicy Uoxcd Twenty Rounds In Music
Hall Last Night.
NEW YORKER FORCED THE FIGHTING
Wright Was on tho Defensive nt All
Stngcs of tho Game, but Neither
illnti Showed Any l'iinishmeiit--An
Audience of 'fiunllty" Snw tho
Ron!--Prospects of Another llout
Xcxt Month.
Joe RernMoIn, of New York, defeated
Fred Wright, of Peafoody. Mnss., in the
20-round lightweight fooxlng contest
held ut Music hall last night under
the direction of the American Sporting
clufo. It was one of tho best exhibi
tions o( scientific boxing ever seen in
Scranton, and the largest respectable,
gathering of men assembled at an
event In the fistic line witnessed Jt.
When the. twentieth round was ended
thero was not, nnd should not have
been, a dissatisfied person In the hall.
There was not a drop of folood spilled
on either side, nnd from stnrt to ilnlsh
not the least brutality was introduced
into tho ring.
Something In a special way might foe
said of tho character of the men who
wore present. The customary sporting
hnngcr-on with loud-checked shirt,
loud-patterned carnicnts, nnd general
untamed look, was notleeahly afosent
and the hotter element substituted in
his stead. Music hall hai n seating
capacity of SCO, and nearly that many
were present. Well known profession
al men, olllccholders, and industrious
cltl7ens constituted a large proportion
of tho audience. Now and again tho
good order was foroken foy the howl
of some fellow with a roostcr-llghtlnjf
Intonation in his voice who wanted
gore. Ho quickly sufosldcd, however.
THE OFFICIALS.
It was ten minutes af'tcr 10 o'clock
when tho contest between Rernsteln
nnd Wright foegan. Pat Murphy was
n greed upon as referee. Al. Rose, the
hatter, .was timekeeper in Bernstein's
Interests; Kd. Coleman performed a
similar function for "Wright; and John
T. Brown was delegated foy the clufo to
watch the flight of the minutes.
Bernstein was the first to appear. He
was clad in a bathrobe of scarlet nnd
gray stripes, and upon entering the
ring selected the corner on the front
of tho Mage. In this corner ho was
handled when ho boxed twenty rounds
here last January with Danny Mc-
Mahon, of Philadelphia, when he came
out victorious also. He nppi'ared cool
and confident. His manager, Charley
Horan, followed later with buckets,
towels, anil foottles. "Kid" Brown, the
colored fooxcr, nnd Larry Ketrlck were
the others who performed ofllcea in
Bernstein's corner.
Vrlght appeared 10 minutes later.ac
coinpanlcd by his trainer, Jim Rey
nolds. He was supplied with the para
phernalia, necessary between the
acts. Paddy Hopkins of the South Side
and Jack Tlghe were also in Wright's
corner. After a few minutes cf pre
liminary work, adjusting the gloves,
which were the regulation exhibition
size, time was called and the battle
foegan.
It would foe hard to say which of the
two was In the hotter condition. Bern
stein's llesh was the color of wax and
his muscles were like ropes. He was
in perfect trim. Not less physically
groomed was Wright. His muscles
were hardened nnd there was no fat oh
his foody. His llesh had a livelier color
though than Bernstein's, and seemed to
have undergone n thorough massaging.
Wright had a look as If his left eye
was asleep, and in the beginning of the
first round the Now Yorker made a
leap forward and planted his left glove
on that side of his opponent's face. He
followed It up with another In the same
place, and repeated the performance
four times all told In the Initial round.
BERNSTEIN'S LEFT.
Bernstein's stylo of fighting consist
ed of a catlike spring upon his tiptoes
and a lead with his left glove for the
face, usually tho side on which was
located the eye with tho far-away look.
Occasionally Bernstein vnrled his tac
tics foy employing his right with a
swinging uppercut, hut tho greater
part of his work was done with the
left all through,
Wright kept hugging his corner and
the one opposlto It, nnd contented him
self with blocking Bernstein's flellne
springs. Occasionally ho lunged for
ward with a vicious left or it right
cross-arm swing, hut he didn't do this
often, hut kept on tho defensive.
Up. to tho tenth round Bernstein did
nil tho leading. The eleventh round
opened with n different aspect. Wright
began getting nway from his own coal
shed nnd branched Into tho center of
the ring. He did a llttlo damage to
the Now Yorker in this round hut not
enough to make a showing. Ho Innd
ed two hard raps that made Bernstein
sulflle. Tho ensuing three rounds were
tame. In tho fourteenth there was a
rapid exchange for a few moments that
brought forth tho belief that there
would ho a Garrison wind-up. The
hurdest blow of tho fight as It appeared
from outside the ropia was In the fif
teenth when Bernstein sent a terrific
swing on tho jaw.
In the seventeenth round Bernstein
landed his left glove twenty-eight
times by nctual count on Wright's face,
but the folows, like all his folows, ex
cept tho ono In tho fifteenth, lacked
steam, nnd might come under the head
of what John L. Sullivan designated
Jim Corbett's blows at thoyCurson City
fight love taps. $"
SKELLV'S ADVICE.
The men never onco changed their
tactics. Jnck Skelly from tho wings
kept telling Wright to get into tho
fight and swing liurd, but upon at
tempting to swing and falling short
thereon, ho evidently got discouraged
nnd fulled to swing again until tho
opening of the succeeding round, Whilo
It was a "beautiful" contest of scien
tific fooxlng and not a scintilla of liru
tnllty attended it, yet tho spsctators
might have been foetter pleased with a
llttlo slugging at times foy way of
varying tho monotony. Nevertheless,
it was such an exhibition that will
forlng folg crowds to future events un
der the auspice- of the same club.
Thero wero three preliminary fea
iwvof; ucrofontlo work foy Collcran and
Cumpbill, ha bootblacks, n four round
foout bstwegn "Kid" Brown and John
Kelley, of tho South Side, and a four
round buut hotween John Tlghe, tho
cl?vor South Sldo lightweight, and
'Jeibty" Gordon, of Camden, N. J
who has for several weoks been living
In hopes of a match with Jim Judge.
II u alleged that ha could whip Jim In
'ten rdundH. Tlghe, who Is 25 pounds
lighter dln't foegln to hit hard until
the third round. Kelley struck Brown
ut hla will, nnd tho excuse tho "Kid"
gavo was that lie just completed a
teim lit confinement nnd is stiffened
with rheumatism.
The American club will conduct an
other good boxing exhibition on Thurs
day evening, August 19, nt Music hall,
nnd tho attraction will foe a 20-round
bout between probably Joo Gans, the
famous colored featherweight, of New
Yo'tk, nnd nn opponent who will give
him a battlo for all ho 13 worth, prob
ably Bofofoy Dobfos. If Gans can bo
secured, th? attraction- will bo llrst
class at any rate.
AN IMPORTANT MATCH.
McPnrtlnml nnd Kvcrlinrt Arc to lint
tlo in Now Orleans.
An Important lightweight match is
Fnld to have been nirnnged between
Kid MePnrtlnnd nnd Jack Everhnrt,
which Is said to tako place before tho
St. Bernard Athletic club, of New Or
leans. Evcrhart in' tho meantime Is
on tho Pacific coast, where he is soon
to box Spider Kelly, thought to foe
quite an easy thing for him.
Everhnrt nnd McPnrtland are afoout
neck and neck for second placo and
should meet In a decisive contest to
find a winner. The pair fooxed twenty
rounds last March at 13C pounds, but
nothing was proved.
AROUND THE ROPED ARENA.
Tho second Installment of tho Maher
Sharkey light money Is duo on August 2,
nnd Al Smith, tho final stakeholder, has
received notlco that tho money will be on
hand. Xew York Sun.
Ous Ruhlln, Hilly Madden's latest ac
quisition In tho heavy-weight class, will
probably niako his first appearance In tho
east In a few weeks. Madden writes to
tho Illustrated Xews that ho will start
for Xew York by Sunday next.
Joo Choynskt will not move from his
determination not to light Kid McCoy at
nny weight under lft" pounds. Joo said
to n reporter that It was useless for him
to think of reducing below 105 pounds, aa
ho would bo too weak.
Tho fact that Tommy Ryan and Kid at
Coy are matched Is hailed as good nows
by tho (.ports In this vicinity. Ryan, af
ter lie- was whipped by McCoy as Mas
peth. dcclnred that .he was In poor shape,
iw ho held McCoy too cheap. Ryan has
hern taking the best of care of himself
nnd thinks ho will have no trouble In win

They Attempt to Tnlio Advnntngo oi
Pence Negotiations in tho Interest
of the Bondholders.
Constantinople. July 29. Tho demand of
the German ambassndor, Bnron Saurama
do Jeltsch, that a provision be Inserted
in tho pcaco treaty between Greece and
Turkey for European control of Greek
finances meets with disfavor among tho
other amfoassadois. Thoy consider that
It Is not covered by their Inrtructlons,
but should be mado tho subject of direct
negotiations between Germany and othor
powers.
Even the Turks oppose this project, as
they regard It ns nn attempt to take ad
vantage of peaco negotiations in the rf.
terests of German bondholders.
Whllo It !s thought Improfoafolo that
Greece could receive the Indemnity loan
without such guarantees us would be
provided by European control of her
finances, tho proposed stipulation is not
regarded as In order In a treaty to which
only Greece and Turkey arc parties.

At reduced prices, still continues. We have $100.00 Bicycles ranging in price from
$50.00 to $75.00. You can buy department store bicycles at any price. We have none.
It is bad policy to buy a bicycle that will turn out to be a neck breaker. Remember,
we are the largest dealers in the city, and can offer you better inducements than any
one in the city. Not in business for one year, but here to stay.
