JANEY AND JOHNSON SAN FRANCISCO, February 4.—Frank McConnell of San Francisco, a practically unknown man in the boxing world, and who recently graduated from the amateur ranks, outpointed and outfought Young Griffo, the celebrated Australian boxer, be- fcre the Olympic Club last night. The con- test was a fifteen-round affair, and the big auditorium was packed with 3,000 spec- tators. McConnell is a wonderful specimen of muscular development, weighing about 143 peunds.

The postponed games standing between the teams of the Columbia and Washing- ton Athletic Clubs were bowled off lasi night on the latter's alleys in South Wash- ington. With the exception of the first wame. of the W. A. C., all of the scores were poor and greatly below the standard of the bowling league. Numerous splits were made throughout the games, which, while having a tendency to reduce the scores, gave opportunity for difficult spare work, and many hard ones were bowled by members of.both teams. Stitt made two good ones, 5-6-10, and shortly after, 4-5-7. Rodier bowled the hard one of 1-2-8-10. Dietz, who has prob- ably made more of these interesting shots than any other man in the league, is cred- ited with 1-3-6-10, and Martin with 4-5- Dietz led the two teams for highest single game, bowling 181 in the opening event, having a triple-header to help toward thai result. Mason’s work was the steadiest seén at any of the league games this sea- son, as his scores will show. The cold weather materially affected the attendance of spectators, which was small as compar- ed with previous league games. The home club bowled strongly from the start in the opening game, securing a lead of ten pins in the first frame. Columbia lost ground steadily throughout the first half of the game, although they more than held their own in the final innings. W. A. C._won by 155 pins. The score follows: Washington Ath.

He has been a failure, apparently, as a manager for the last few seasons, but con- sidering his remarkable batting he is not rated as one of the weak members of the Chicago team by a good deal. He undoubt- «aly can drive in more runs when they are needed than any player now with the Colts, and many think he is still the timeliest batter in America. Then, too, many be- lieve his effectiveness on first base Is un- derrated, even conceding he is slow. There is no doubt Anson will prove a great drawing card in Chicago whenever he goes there with another team. His ster- ling qualities are recognized by all, even by those who have clamored for a change. Then the actual letting out of the old man has brought to the surface many of his supporters, who are denouncing his retire- ment and who openly declare they hope the Colts will fail for having allowed the man to go who stood by the Chicago club and the league at the time of the brotherhood division. A. G. Spalding expressed the opinion that Anson wou. not last on first base in Bal- timore. “It will be a case of three months and then get out,” said the lifelong friend of the captain, who thi the puplic has made up its mind Anson's playing days over. “Anson would have to play bi than a young man,” continued Sp “for the Baltimore enthusists would cuse an error in him.” A movement has been started in Chicago to give Anson a big testimonial, and a meeting to that end will be held Saturday at the Chicago Athletic Association. ss ASSISTANCE TO OPPONENTS.

CHOYINSKI-RYAN BOUT OFF. Former Now ies a Challenge to McCoy. SAN FRANCISCO, February 4.—The con- test between Joe Choyinski and “Tut” Ryan, set to come off before the Empire Club next Thursday evening, is off as far as the Empire Club is concerned, as that organization has gone out of existence. Choyinski, on being informed of the de- cision of the club, immediately telegraphed a challenge to Kid McCoy for a contest in this city for $5,000 a side and a purse of $1000. Choyinski named George Siler as referee. In case Kid McCoy refuses to ac- cept the challenge, it is open to Maher, Sharkey or Fitzsimmons. Choyinski sent a telegram to Tom O'Rourke in New York authorizing him to act for him in making the match with McCoy. - National League Will Meet in St. Louis.
