In addition to the inch, Weilman has | added about ten pounds to his weight, making him touch the beam now at close to the 200 mark.

WIFE SUES BILL DONOVAN, Charges Desertion Against Manager of New York Americans. Savannah, Ga., March 24.—William 13, Donovan, mahnager of the New York Yankees, has been served with notice here that a suit for divorce has been instituted against him at Reno, Nev., by Mrs. Helen Stephens Dono- van. He did not receive the bill of com- plaint, simply the summons, and the charge on which the divorce is asked is not yet known by the Yankee man- ager, It is understood, however, that desertion is the charge. :“\ SILENT MARTIN WINS. New York, March 24.—Silent Mar- tin, the mute middleweight boxer of Brooklyn, was entitled to the honors over Al McCoy, the Brooklyn boxer, who gained considerable reputation by reason of his knockout of George Chip, at the conclusion of their ten- round bout, which featured the bill last night at the Broadway Sporting club of Brooklyn. It was an inter- esting bout throughout with never a let-up in aggressiveness on the part of both boxers. = The mute middle- weight, however, landed more clean and effective blows than his “cham- pion” opponent. At the final bell McCoy was palpably distressed, while Martin apparently was fresh. WHITE AFTER WELSH. Confident that Charley White will dispose of Leach Cross tomorrow night at Madison Square Garden, Nate Lewis, the manager of the :Chicago lightweight, is determined to show the hand of Champion Freddie Welsh. It is the intention of Lewis to post $5,000, accepting the terms of the Denver promoters for a twenty-round bout between White and Welsh.

Early in the bout Jack broke his arm, but he used his good wing so effectively that he got a draw after sixty-four rounds of fighting and stalling, Vast sums had been wag- ered on the result by McAuliffe’s bak- ers and the miners who looked upon the Streator cyclone as their hero. The miners did everything in their power to intimidate Jack, and threatened him with clubs and slung shots, but he was game to the core and saved the money of those who had put their money on him Later he gave Myer a thorough beating in the New Orleans tournament in which Corbett defeated Sullivan McAuliffe retired undefcated in 1896 and turned his tile over to Kid Lavigne, Betting on the ponles was Lis favorite occupation and he won and lost several juicy fortunes on the turf.
