o il vt pRa— new-comer and littie is known of THEY FOUGHT 10 A FINISH. A Rattling Punching Mateh Upon the Green Turf. ADMIRABLY MANAGED MATINEE. Tommy Wilson Smashes Tommy Me- Farland Soporiferonsly in the Mug, and Collars the Butt Fnd of $200. . Invasion of lowa's Sacred Soil. Tommy Wilson, of this city, and Tommy McFarland, of Denver, met in the squared eircle yestorday afternoon for a purse of $900, subscribed by twenty gentlemen of pronoinced sporting proclivities—$150 to the winner, £50 to the loser, The conditions of the mill were Queens bury rules, four ounce gloves, to a finish, and it came off in & beautiful sequestered grove on tho Towa side of the river about 2 o'elock yesterday afternoon, and while it Tasted was as full of animation as the bus: ness end of a horifut. Wilson, the local man and the winner, 1s a him here- abouts, but that hois a topnotcher in the in the middlo-weight class none who saw him porform yestorday c He is about twenty-six y; and tipped the beam at 140 pounds. McFarland, the Deaver pug, is what is known in fistic parlance asa dub. Ho overtopped Wilson in avordupoise by four pounds. and was i Lood counterpart for him in hoight, reach nd gameness, but decidedly his inferior in cionce and ring generalship. 2 Atthe spot selceted for the battle, the dead fox grass was burned away, and a twenty- four foot ring pitclied. These preliminarics being expeditously arranged the selection of a referec was attomoted. About everybody at the riog side was proposed and rejected by one of the principals or the other, and for a time it looked us if the fight would have to be declared off owing to their inability to agree, Finally, however, after much pe ion, Charles H. Browning, a_voung limb of the law from Lincoln, consented to act as this im dispensable functionary. Timers were chosen and the announcement made that everything was in readiness for the go. Wilson won the toss and chose the south- west corner, which was considerably higher than the one opposite, and without further ado shied his Dunlap and crowded through the ropes with his seconds, Scientific 1ill Hayne and Charlie Johnson. McRarland, looking vengeful and "defiant, quickly followed and seated himself opposite I8 stocky young antagonist, his seconds, Bob Ferret and Tom Smith, pouring words of wisdom and advice m nis willing eurs. The mitts were donned and the gladiator s threw off thieir overcoats, both showing up m splendid fghting fig. Wiison, 1 fact, Igoked a very Hercules, with his broud shonlders, doop chest, strong loins. and sym- metrical pins. His ‘skin glowed with life and health, and ho looked every inch the winner that he was. McFarland, tov, exhi- bited more than passing form, with his well- muséled shoulders, conspicuons biceps and supple limbs, yet Lie lacked the ceneral ap- pearance of fitness that so finely marked his adversa “'Shuke hands, gentlemen,” ordered the »'two men went through the 3 svident eagerness and re- turned to their coruers, “Time Aud the next moment they were together. Wilson eyed his mun with the punctilious- ness of theman of & score of fights, but the Denver pug seemed to consider no sizing up necessary, and, sans ceremonie, made i headlong rush, swinging awkwardly with his right, and landing ineflectually on Wil- son’s shoulder, receiving in return a left counter in the jaw that made his few re- malning teeth rajtle. * Ho scemed ford of hus gruel, however, and with au oath went back for sowe wore. ' He was not disappointed. Wilson fiddled him back toward the ropes, finally cutting loose with his right for Mac's wind, which he ‘reached in such good shape, that Denver dropped s guard. ‘Then he got 1t biff smash, bung, in the neck, in the eav and i the jaw, the localwan doing all the woric with his terrible left, reserving his vight for amore precarious juncture if one sbould arise. Melarland was groggy in a sccond, and, to save bimself, essayed a clinch. For his e received a knock-down blow in the mouth. The spectators thought he was out, and the referee began to count, when he rolled over, scrambled to bis feet, and undaunted, went back o his medicine. He tiveshed wildly 1eft ana right, untl it looked as it he would break his arms from sheer contact with the air, and all through these calisthenics Wil son kept jabbing persistontly at his nut. It was go o slecp or clinch, and Mac did” the latter. He tried hard to throw his man, but couldn’t get in his work, although both ivent down on the cremated swvard togetner. Thoy were quickly up and at it again, and Wilson was systematically knocking the Denver boy's hicad off, whon time was called. Wilson ran’ lightly back to his chuir, but Muc reeled and_stagwored like a drunker man and would have fallen from weakness had not his seconds caught . The Limers suw that the jig was up, and leniently (?) allowed the pufiing lirhters full three miinutes rest before they were again called to the scrateh. Wilson wus now suve of his man, He saw he had o dead easy mark, and waited with confidence until he reached the center of the ring, when lie went in to put on the kibosh. Mekarland had evidently concluded to adopt other tactics, and as Wilson ran to Tim, he clivched and again essayed to throw him. i g0, for Wilson casily broke uway, exclaiming a$ he did so, “Want do you!" two-bugzger cut short the dialogue, and for tho next half-minute the Denvor lad was Kept busy keeping his head on his shouldors. He went o ver against the ropes, only to be knocked to his knees, and when he regained his legs, one, o, three, fourquick smashes from Wuson's handy leftsent him headlon g into the seured turt, The blood gushed from his mouth and nostrils in a stresm: he clawed the ground in a dazed way, lifted up his head, tried to rise, but rolled over with & groan. “One,” bogau the referce, McFarland geoaned and spit out a mouth- 1ull of blood. o He endeavored to vise, but fell back with his head in the cinders as limp aud Listless as & rag. “Three—four — five - - six nine—t-e-n, and out ! Aund the battle was over, Wilson threw his macintosh over his shoul ders, leaped over the roes and rvan for the bout. MeForland was carried to his corner, com- miaerately sponged and toweled. while tho spectators disappeared liko snow in a Junu- ary thaw. seven—-eight— BASE BALL, o Base Ball Situation. So as 4 close and exciting finish 1s con- cerned, the American association pennant chase is not one whit behina that of the Na- tional league. Brooklyn went down beiore the Crooks and Rilley team, of “olumbus, 0, yesterday, and in consequence suffored a tumble of five points in her percentage over the St. Louis Browns, aud the Bridegrooms now hiold the slender vautage of eight points. St Louis and Cincinnati failed to play on ac- count of wet grounds, or the distance be- tween the two teams might be still less, There is no telling about this, however, as Cincinnati has at last struck her gait, as she invariably does at the fug ond of the race, aud is playiug great ball.

For- tunately thoy had a truck fuvorable to ailing limbs or feet, as the long continued ary weather provided a loose surface, Mambrino was a strong favorite little berting that was indulged in by moneyed men who drove ou’ from town to soce the sport, In the scoring Lay Frank proved himself to be the promptest horse. Muwbrivo was inclined to lag, although as the race progressed ho warmed outof his lameness and kept improving. Frank was driven by Thomson and k'red Robare handled black stallion, At 2:50the judges, Messrs. D. W. Mount, Joe Withrow and Fred Thoroe, called up th horses, previously explaining the terms and conditions of the match, — After scoring eloven times they got the word, Bay Frauk breakiug on the turn to the backstretch, Graham's Mambrino, who drew the pole, took the lead and held it to the secoud tura, where Frank over- hauled and passed him.

Mambrino could not in what the carry the colip ou the short turn aud broke, Frank drew away, leading tho black horse five lengthe on the 'second turn. On the third tarn Mambrino aguin broke, and Frank increased his lead. Mambrind made a spurt on the homa stretch, cutting down his onpo- nent’s load to a_length at the wire and fln. ishing strong. Frank won in 2:821g, trotting the first quarter in 881 seconas, half in 1:15'¢, and three-quarters in 1:53%. Frank broke on the first tern in the third heat and came almost to & standstill. The stallion forged anead and took a lead of ten lengths, His advantage was the same on the second turn, Striking the home streteh tho stallion put still further ground be- tween himself and_ his antagonist, Frank belog n distance in tho roar when Mambimo reached the third turn.
