THE FRANK HOWSON KNOCKED OUT, Tommy Ryan Still Holds His Title of Welterwolght Ohampionchip. FAIREST BATTLE EVER WITNESSED. Not a Claim of Foul, No Loud Words, but Lots of Very Scientific Scrspping—Other Sports ing News. Cuteaco, Til, Dee. Tommy Ryan is +till the champion weiterweight of the world. Ho retains this titlo after a fourteen-round fight with Frank Howson of Shefield, Eng- 1and, fought near this city this morning. From a professional and scientific stand- yoiut, the contest was a beauty. After the toird round, parries, ducks ‘and counters were too thick to cause comment. The battle was remarxable for its fairness. Not a call of foul was made, not an ndvantage taken and not an angry word passed between the contestants. Ryan emerged from tho fight unscathed, whilo his opponent has one eye nearly knockea out and one cheek laid open. Howson, while quick ns o cat, was unable to hit hard, and showed tho bad effects of too much traiming. Ryan displayed by far the best generalship. The fight was for $1,000 a side and the welterwelight championship and was witness- ed by about 300 people. Ryan was the favorite. George Silver was referce. Harry Gilmore and Tommy White were Howson's seconds, while Jim Manning of Buffalo and Henry Baker, the champion heavywelght of Michigan, ucted for Ryan. Queensberry rules governe Ryan's woight was 185 and that of the Englishman 18615, How the Fight Went. Time was called at 2:34, and aftor sparring for an opening Howson got In a righthandor on Ryan's neck that jarred him for a moment. The round ended with a severo left uppercut on the Enghshman. In the second rouad Howson received a so- vero blow on the cheek from Ryan's left and countered on Ryan's ribs, Kvan gave his opponent two more_blows on the ribs, and as time was calicd Howson scemed winded. The third and fourth rounds were practically the same as tha second. In the ifth round Ryan camo up frosh ana sent the Englishman (o tho ropes with A hard lofthander. Three more blows on Howson's rivs closod the round. In the sixth round Howson used his left and followed with his right on Ryan’s ribs. "The iatter returned the compliment with a blow that closed tho Englishman’s loft eye, Tn tho seventh and eighth Ryan placed sov- eral short-arm lofts on Howson's gamo_eye and sent him 1o his seat with several hard body biows, receiving one good rib-roaster himself. Nothing was accomplished in the ninth, Tu the tonth, evidently thinking his oppo- nent was getting tired, the Inghshman startod in with both hauds, but roceived a Dblow on the cheek that brought first blood. Given His Conge. During the next three rounds Ryan planted Dblow after blow on his opponent’s now badly damaged left oye and lacerated check. When the thirteenth round closed Howson's eye was ontirely closed. In the last round, after Ryan had received a couple of right hand swings on the rios he felnted with his right. As Howson slowly turned his face to dodge, Ryan gave him a left swing on the jaw. The Euglishman’s oyes rolled up, ho gasped and sank to the floor completely’ knocked out. He was not rendered inseusivle, but was so badly jarred he could not get up and the fight was given 10 Ryan. Ryan’s next fight will be in San Francisco with Danoy Needham for the championship. THEY WILL NOT AMALGAMATE, Very Little Prospect for Success of the One-League Twelve-Club Scheme. PuitapeLrnis, ea., Dec. 13.—The Press today publishes the following: “Upto yesterday morning it looked as though the one-league twelve-club scheme would be a certainty, thanks to some of the most artistic hypnotism on the part of a ‘dis- interosted’ gentleman., President Williams of the Chicago club, however, started east and he scon removed the charm. He arnved here last night and had an extended inter- view with the Wagner brothers and opened their oyes to tho littlo game that was heing worked. g “The plan of action was practically the same as that outlined in President Phelps’ lotter, and the only wondor is that anybody should have been taken in at all. The work ‘was done in sections, First Chris Von Der Ahe was approached and he was assured that the Wagners and Prince were willing to quit. Then Mr. Wagner was assured that Mr, Williams was ready to retire, And so it ‘went, care being taken thatno two were operated upon at the same time. ‘“T'he scheme provided for the retirement of the Boston and Athletic clubs, the refund- ing to the Chicago Association club all the money that it had expeuded and tho addition of Loulsville and St. Louis to the league circuit. At St. Louis Mr, Von Der Abe was to have the privilege of charging ouly 25 cents. and playing Sunday games. In conversation with a PPross reporter last night Mr. Witliams “The Chicago club did not join the associa- tion to be dropped in two months. We bave ample funds, and, if vecessary, we can rtand an extra assessment. We do not pro- pose to get out, and I don’t see how we can be forced out. ' All talk about an amalgama- tion between the organizations is hosh. Say that they did awalgamate; don’t vou sup- pose that, another association would spring upt In Chicago there would be a club sure, and L know people who are aching to got a chance to locate in St. Louis, Of course thero would be another club hore. 1 think when the members of the association ali get together and get freed from all nypnotic influence, you will find that at least six clubs will be agatnst the proposed amalgamation,’ " GREAT RACING PROMISED, Announcement of the New York Jockey Club, New Yous, Deo, 13.—Secretary Crickmore of the New York oJckey club announces n large number of stakes to close on January 4 next for the spring sud fall meetings of 1503, viz For G-yoar-olds: The Bowling Brook, Pocanteco, Melrose and Vreedland handicaps! the Bayehestor stakes and. tho Throgssuock stake.

The nerve of the manager who advertises Miss Lillian Lewis as ‘“‘the American Bern- hardt” is something magnificent, aud one can’t help wondering who her financial backer is. This star opened an engagement at Boyd’s t night with “As in a “Looking Glass.” The morale of the play is wholly bad. The dramu 1s reeking with suggestiveness, not to mention improprietics openly depicted, and it hasu't a redeeming ray of goodness, Miss Lewis has a voluptuous figure, and gowns herself handsomely, but. these do not make an actress. Sho chavacterizes Lena Despard as a cola, coarse adventuress, voia of any refinoment, and she is quite unable o display a womanly softness to win the sym- pathy ‘of the audionce 1n her disvress. kdmund Collier, Arthur Elliott, Walter Eytinge, Ralph Bell ana Louise Pomeroy are names not unknown to the theatrical world, and they gave a support quite equal to the star’s merit, “Tle Private Secretary.” “The Private Secretary bogan a roturn engagement at the Farnam Street theater yosterday.

The tragedy was evidently premediwated by Miller, as he a few days bofore made his will and settled up his business afairs, Mrs. Miller went down town, and during her absence he became intoxicated to nerve himself. On her return he threatened her life. When she ran out of the nouse he followed hor and firea at her as sho ran. _A bullet passed entirely through her body, She fell friends came to her help.

Organ music blended with the volces, and it was with some diffi- culty 'that the reporter harmonized the swoe!, and sacred sounds with the surround- ings, Joming to church are you?" asked First Assistant Jailor Louts Boshme, as he swung the door open and invited the reporter to step in. About thirty prisonors, ranging from 15 to 50, were seated on benches and chairs along threo sides of the main assembly room, while near the entrance from the hall stood a handsome new organ, about which a group of Christian workers was engaged in sing- ing gospel songs. T'he singing was led by Mr, the Young Men's Christian_association, and Miss Pearl Bridenbecker played tho organ. The instrument was purchased for jail use, the reporter was informod, through the especial offort of Mr. Heisenbeuttel of the Young Men's Christian association, Miss Bridoubecker and others. All the prisouers wero supplied with small volumes of the “Gospel Songs” hymn book, and they nearly all took part in the singing. *‘Now, will somo one seloct a song?" said Mr. Hollander when thoy had finished sing- ing the first one. Visibly Afrected. “Sing No. 84, suggested a young man, who is is in jail for forging his® employer’s name to a $150 check. The song selected was that sweet and soothing old hymn beginuiug, “Son of my soul, oh Savior dear.” Tho young man who selected the piece sang carnestly with the rest and appeared to be greatly pleased with the music. Then Mrs. Jardine, who is a zealous worker among_ the prisoners, selected a song, and after that had been sung Mr. Lou Anderson read a sceipture lesson ana talked to the prisoners for fifteen or twenty minu The expression upon tho numerous sin- stained visagoes of that motiey group of cul- prits became an_1atensely resting study during the exercises. Upon some the words of spiritual and moral counsel appeared tc have no more serious effect than the tinkling of a cow bell, or the patter of the rain upon the window pane. In vicious stupidity and stubborn inaifference they looked on and seomed to be saying within themselves: ““Phat may be all good enough for fine haired folks, but it don’t apply to me.” ‘The scene was a remarkable one. It was the coming into close relation of two ex- tremes of human possibility. The meek and gentle and charitable element of human life stretching out its hands to the gross and vicious and defiled. How vear they were to each other and vet what . a chasm between. In the west wing of the jail anvther ser- vice, similar to this, was in progress. Tho city and United States prisonors were in there, thirty-two of the former and twenty- four of the latter, in two small apartmenis, conuected with their cells. “Siug number fifty-nive” called out a gray haired man in the lower cage; and then Mr. A. W. Clark, Mr. Goff and the Misses Jossio and Katie Wilbur led the soug, whilo the Hollander of prisoners joined in as best they could. The piece was « called “I awm Coming to the Cross,” and one could not keep from speculating as to the kina of a cross some of the culprits wero hasten- ing towara. In the upper cago thoro were eight peni- tentiary convicts who will be taken to Lin- colu this week, and several others will be tried soon for felonious offenses. Gentle Influence of Religion. Notwithstanding the goneral appearance of depravity upon the faces of the pri-onors, they all behaved themselves remarkably well, and some of them appeared to seriously ! outer into the spirit of the hour. At the close of the services several of the prisoners stated that they desived to give up a life of sin and try to live honest, industrious lives. This statement was tho signal for numerous winks and grimaces upon the part of the more hardened and vicious inmates of the jail, but that had no discouraging effect upon th*gooa people who had done their vest to point out a batter way to their erring fellow crontures. Several minutes wero spent in the women’s department, talking tothe dozen frail siunors detained behind prison bars. The mission- arios did not_preach so much to the women, but simply talked to them kindly, and re forred them to various passages of Scriptur ““This is a good thing,” said jatlor Horri- gan as T Bee man was about to loave. “Tho prisoners seem to enfoy it and I think things we have to offer.
