dElIberate foul But as the ref eree disregarded the foul Cross had a euado the best of the Fighting Harp over tbe six round gallop On the action of the referee Cross won Whether Cross lost or won Is a compli cated question In these six round New York affairs the referee always disregards any foul that does not entirely disable one of the fighters He does this simply to give the crowd a tun for Its money Fitzgerald had a mile the best of the first round Thin and active he looked In fight ing trim Near the end of the round Cross missed right and left and aa I ile half turned foxy Fltz whipped in a swift left hook that landed over the East Siders heart and dropped him flat j V tho second round Cross forced the f 101 nghtlnj Bu he was fouling contln ualy Once he threw his left arm around

foul I HOW did no one knows They M may have done none at all that countedIn the final result But Jimmy I Brltt lost to Joe Gans on an exactly i similar foul It would disqualify a fighter In any other city than New 11 York t Cross had the third round They both slugged willingly but Cross had the best of the I mixups He was stronger f and faster than the old warhorse Fltz ferald grinned In the old way but I there was no great sting In his blows Time and again he landed flush on j Leachs jaw and Daggered him but 1 only for a moment Cross started the fourth with Chinese I i tactics lift stuck ouiMiis tongue and I made faces at Fitzgerald trying to I scare him Fltzy didnt scare He boat I Cross Into a corner Cross worked out 1 end they mixed It all over the ring I In the fifth FlU begun

greatest I pitcher in the world Mr Untsll and John McGraw mana ger of the Giants have spurned the offer and the season of JSW will again see the famous twirler in a Giants uniform The offer for Mathewton was made I through an intermediary by Murphy after the recent Chicago eenes of games at the Polo Grounds FranK Chance manager of the Cubs watcned Mathew sons work close all the time he was In New Vurk and came to tne conclu sion that any club owning Mathcwsons senices would not only have a draw ing card In whatever city Mathewson played but that such a club would always have a mighty good chance to i win the pennant Chance It Is said advised Murphy that with Mathewson on his team to I i do the twirling along wltn Three i Fingered Brown the Chicago team 1 with Its Infield and
