.Torn Harris and Jerry O'Rourke
Not, Coming .Off,
For several weeks, sports all the way
from N'lc Glenn's, In Simpson, down to
the height.?, of Sport Hill In Dumuore,
hHve been anticipating the 20-roiiml go
tp a finish, tliat was arranged between
Tom Harris, formerly of Port Jervls,
hut now of Csirbondnle, and Jerry
O'Hourke, of tills city. Tile Identity
which both men have with the sporting
fraternity In this section made the af
fair look all to tlio good when the tip
wns passed round as to the location of
the dukes' exposition and the date.
Accordingly, K0 sports, fifty from Cnr
hon dale, a couple from Jerinyn, a few
from Archbtild, the rest from Scranton
and Dunmore, were on hand before
midnight on .Monday, at the scene of
the sport, not a hundred miles from
the Scranton city line.
After a wait of some minutes more
than a couple, the sports were Jarred
by the announcement that the main
event, the lie plus ultra of'the night's
attraction, was not to conic off. In the
words of Chuck Connors, Jerry
O'Hourke had a "bum wing"; his left
nnn just above the wrist was badly
Bwollt-n; so much so that be would be
unable to use It. There was no doubt
about the lameness of O'P.ourke's arm,
bo far as appearances went, for it was
noticeably swollen, and red, as If In
flamed. The spirits of the crowd, dropped like
those of the public after the explosion
of a rumor of a sure-thing settlement
of the coal strike. To fix matters tip,
and that everything might be good
with the crowd, O'Kourke suggested
to Harris that be go six rounds with
Coulter, of Scranton, n man who has
somewhat of n "rep" down the valley
as a dispenser of Hob Fltf.slmmons'
solar plexus knock-outs. There were
three or four others, among them
Clark, colored, of Scranton, who were
anxious for a try at Harris, but he in
sisted that under the circumstances he
was right In the course he was taking.
He was willing to meet the man with
1 whom he had arranged, he said, and
not a man, who, according to his no
tion, wos a stranger.
In the meantime, there were shouts
of- "quitter" from both sides, so that
for a time it was as hard to judge
which side was right as It might be
to settle the coal strike.
. Harris, during this parleying, and
since then, makes the claim that
O'Rourke's hand was In no worse con
dition than his own, which ho claims
he Injured by sparring with Hoy Gil
bert, the colored lad. For this reason
principally, he would not take on any
v other man, particularly Fo'me one of
whose standing lie had no knowledge.
Me was fearful of displeasing the crowd
,. by going on with some one who could
not make good.
O'Rourke, on the other hand, main
tains that he was absolutely helpless
with his arm, and had been advised
by his friends that it would be suicidal
to attempt to light In such condition.
The Injury happened only a short time
before the time set for the light, and
therefore made no announcement of
his Injury until he saw lie could not
possibly go on. Furthermore, he took
along a couple of men. who lie was
certain would make good to the crowd,
for at least six rounds, thereby saving
a disappointment. Harris maintained
that there was no good reason for
O'Rourke to keep out of the ring, and
in the face of this belief he would not
meet any other man.
Well, anyhow, the crowd was sore,
anil It lit out, Irrespective of the an
nouncement that the mill between Will
Hull and Roy Gilbert, the colored shoe
shiner, both of this city, would surely
come off. There was a hurried rush
fhr street cars nnd trains', and there
wasn't nuieh of a push left behind.
-tMost of the Carbondnle sports re
mained to sri the battle between their
own men. Hill and Gilbert. It was
Btartcd about 12.13. Six rounds were
gone. Neither man was blessed with
an overabundance of science; In fact,
It was a mighty scarce article. Hut
they were both good hitters when they
mixed It up In their own homely style.
"Why he looked like a big house 'side
of mo, when I got into the ring," said
Gilbert; which Is no fit.
Hull showed a well-built and well
developed physique, and he la a cy-

clone In rushes. The dusky tad did no
leading to speak of, He was on the
defensive throughout. Even with Hull
doing the leading, there was little light
ing. In tho third round only, two blown
wero- exchanged during the three
minutes. When Hull rushed his man,
he carried him off tils feet, and a hnlf
,dozen times he had him outside the'
rope limits of the ring. Hut he lacked
the steam to lay the dark boy low. ills
wind won poor.
The dark Roy, on the other hand, is
a mighty hard hitter the harder of the
two. He has a fearfully wicked left
hand, which used to jolt Hull every
time it landed, particularly In the llrst
round. One of the punches from his
left, In the last round, sprained the
Index finger, and from the appearances'
of things It prevented the light from
ending right there. Hull's eyes were
glassy, and It might have been over but
for the sprained finger. Tho dork hoy
wasn't able to deliver another punch,
because of the pain lie suffered. Hull
delivered a good many more punches
than Gilbert, and had It been purely a
sparring match, the decision would
surely have been his. Hull mowed his
man down two or three times, nnd but
for Ills wonderful ability to take pun
ishment, Gilbert should have been
counted out In the fourth or fifth round.
Tho fight demonstrated Hull's great
muscular strength and his lack of
wind ntter milch exertion. First blood
was drawn' by Gilbert, but before the
end, Hull had the darky bleeding tho
more- freely.
The crowd was far from satisfied
with the see-sawtng and walking
around the ring of the two combatants,
and there was an almost continuous
cry of "Why don't you fight." "Mix It
up there; this ain't no rooster tight,"
What do you dubs think this Is, u
walking match'.'" nnd the like. The
fighting, however, was fast and furious
enough at times, and altogether, those
who indulge In such exhibitions seemed
satisfied. The decision declared It a
draw.
To further atone for the disappoint
ment over the Hnrrls-O'Rourke go, a
mix-up of four rounds was arranged
between "Waltah" Johnson and
Mickey Gorman, who pnonunced be
fore the go that his "fighting days was
over."
This was a serio-comic affair. "Wal
tah" is some shucks as a boxer, and
ho had his own f un with Mr. Gor
man. The latter, however, drew first
blood. The funny posing of "Mlstah
.Tonsoii" gave a comic air to the quasi
tragic proceeding. Three rounds were
sufficient, and any way it was train
time for the Carbondallans. It was de
clared a draw and tho purse of $1.25
was divided.
The "programme" ended with a ten
round sparring exhibition, between
Coulter and O'Hara, of Scranton.
BREACH OF PROMISE SUIT
A Somewhat Sensational Charge of
Margaret Davidson Against Bert
Brownell The Latter a Married
Man.
There was a surprise akin to a sen
sation last night, when it became
known that Hert Brownell, a passen
ger brakeman on the Delaware and
Hudson, was arrested at the Instance
of Miss Margaret Davidson, who al
leged breach of promise to marry her.
Rrownell was taken on a sheriff's
capias by Constable Moran, yesterday
forenoon. He was unable to provide
ball and was taken to the county jail,
after several hours' confinement in tho
city jail here.
Later in the day, Brownell was for
tunate In having a bondsman come
to ills help, and last night he was about
town again.
It appear.-! that Brownell, who was
married, but Is not now living with his
wife, courted the attentions of Miss
Davidson. From the courtship devel
oped a promise of marriage. Subse
quently Miss Davidson discovered that
Brownell could not keep the promise
he made her, because of his undis
solved marriage relations, and she ac
cordingly sought redress for the nl
leged damage to her feelings by bis
trilling with, her affections. The
breach of premise suit, commenced in
Protlionotary Copeland's ofiU'c, was the
result,
Brownell Is widely known In Carbon
dale. The news of his arrest on such
a charge will be u pronounced surprise
and shock to his friends and acquaint
ances. The notice of Brownell's marriage to
a girl on Luzerne street, West Scran
ton, appeared in a Scranton Sunday
paper a few months ago. Brownell,
however, lived in this city, nlone; he
boarded at 6." River street, where Miss
Davidson, who sued him, was em
ployed, Brownell Is no longer employed on
the Delaware and Hudson. He lost
his position as brakeman on Conduc
tor Kuapp's train a few days ugo.
HERE IS A TREAT.
The Newspaper Men to Play the
Printers No Bouquets, Please.
The newspaper workers of Carbon
dale, who hnvo been feeding the base
,ball public with the news of the na
tional sport all summer, and who mod
estly claim a little credit for the en
thusiasm and craze which have hold of
the town, are viciously contemplating
a new role. After mnturo deliberation
and wilh malice nforetliought they
,have decided to plunge a bit into the
sport about which they have wrltlon
so much, They are going to play ball,
and will let the half million spectators,
who are expected to be on hand, play
bawl,
Tho nervy opponents of the modest
'newspaper .men will' be the printers of
Curiondale, Here Indeed Will bo .ex
emplified the power of the press. Per
haps It will be n reckless step, but it
Isn't our fault. The nerve of the plum
bers, the carpenters, the clerks, Abe
Salun and his "Rozorbaeks," the Ping
Pongers, the Brokers, et al,, are In a
measure responsible for the leap Into
Increased public favor Into which wo
uro about to take, We know that the
anxiety of the public Is nt the boiling
point to see us losing (he ball, losing
our breath and losing our temper and,
possibly, our good name who knows?
and as we nre always pro bono pub
lico, we have consented to throw uslde
our maiden modestly and with Chuck
Connors be "Johnny-on-the-spot."
Appreciating how this bit or news
will be received, wo beg of all to send
no flowers this way In advance; save
them until after the game; they will
be quite appropriate at the funeral
services of the printers.

PANIC AMONG CHILDREN.
Exciting Time Among Pupils in
Mayfleld School.
A small sized panic was caused In the
Alayfleld school yesterday afternoon
owing to danger from boilers in tho
File pump shaft whore a fire was rag
ing. The blar.e was discovered at 3 o'clock
by one of the men employed In the
.building nnd the whistle was nt once
set In action calling but tho fire com
panies. The school Is located close to the
building and to the rear of where the
large hollers were located. Men rush
ing to the scene spread the report
that the boilers were In dnnger of ex
ploding and the alarm quickly spread
to all sections of the borough.
Parents whose children were at
school rushed to the scene and ndded
to the terror of the pupils who had
also become aware of the danger nnd
were ready to rush In a body to the
street.
The mothers gathered up their chil
dren and the dash was made out of the
building. The crowd was bunched on
the steps for a time but those to the
front' ran as soon as the street was
reached and the passage way was
blocked but n short time. Hats, coats
and wraps were forgotten In the hasty
exit.
Two fire companies responded to the
alarm and were In action but a short
time when the flames were subdued
and order once again restored In the
borough.
No attempt was made to resume the
session when the danger had been
passed and this morning the pupils will
return the erasers and be equipped with
the parts of their wardrobe left yester
day In- the building.
The damage caused to the building
was but slight. The boilers were not
Injured In the least.

teous and shabby treatment of the

'twill have some effect.
The Mayfleld team will be the Hones
dale's opponents. Manager Sam Men
delson has gotten together a good team
and the afternon ought to be Interest
ing. There's no telling how many

ground, but there will be a few, and
Honesdale. Is assured the best quality
of fnirplay. Being fair Is an old habit
that has clung to Carbondallans from
time Immemorial.

team is as follows: Median, c; Grif
fin, p.; A. D. Maynard, lb.; Murray, 2b.;
M. Walsh, l.f.; P. Qulnn, s.s.; D. Davltt,
c.f.; Flannery, r.f.
Michael Walsh, late of Toronto, a
resident of Mayfleld, will be In right
field; .Murray and Flannery, of the
Crescents, will be In the game, and the

fessional team, Scranton. The game
will be called between 2.30 and 3
o'clock.
Honesdale will play the Archbald
team this morning, the game begin
ning at 10.13. The rain prevented yes
terday's game.
