Ascording to this “dope,” Jeffs case ahould not seem hopeless. The tet he has been out of the ring more thea Fitssimmons has should be in his! favor, a8 a9 has expended so much lees Vitality in mauting and being mauled.

Tt's true Hab was buncoed out of his purse in some way, but it was $40,000 they fought for. And now poor Hall is dying, penniless and without friends. How many old- time “sporting men’ die lke that? Many more than die in lumury—that's sure.

NEW ORL®@ANS, March 11.—That Leach Cross is one of the gamest fight- ers in the world was proven by his ten- round bout with Joe Mandot, the local boy, here. For elght rounds the Ni Yorker was beaten to a fraazle, but he 4idn’t lose heart, and tn the ninth round started the great rally that ended is the knockout of Mandot in the tenth. The spectators, who jammed every nook and corner of the Orleans Athietio Club, thought it was a cinch that the home product would win, as he had @ big lead on points when Cross started is uphill fight. Excitement was in- tense in the ninth and tenth rounds, all the fans being up on their chairs, shout- ing words of encouragement to Mandot. In the ninth round Cross worked Mandot ov@ to the ropes, and with a short right he dropped him to the floor, Five times the Crescent City lad rose and fell, and when the bell clanged he was the happlest man in the house. When the gong called the men to the centre of the ring for the tenth round Mandot was weak and dazed, and it was a matter of a few seconds before Crous saw another opening for his rigit and dropped Mandot to the floor again. His seconds it As Useless for Joe to so they tossed in the sponge. | Before the bout began the betting wae as high as 2 to 1 in Mandot's favor, Wanderers Earn Right to Meet Quebec Seven The Wanderers will play the Quebes team, champlons of the world, at 8t.
