tor of Tun HER :
AKE in criticising
should always bo
exercised. U la not
nhvaj-3 policy In the
editor of a sporting
paper -to pepper n
on paper
that ho has taken a
plquo ftt. When
Aaron Jbnos arrived
In tuts country in
1 837 tb train Uoonan
for Ills light with
MorrUsoy there was
considerable hostllo foollnR In Now York
porting circles botwcon the natlvo and the
Irish element. Jones was of course employed
by the moro American party.
When Hoonan gnvo hU first oxhtbl-
tlou ho wound up with Jones , nnd
the editor of the Clipper said : "Aaron's posi
tion was easy and graceful , nrtlstto In the
extreme , and shcnvntl the experienced boxer , "
and that Ilocnati would have shown to bettor
advantage If ho had boon pitted ngilnst n
less oxperloncod man , because Jones was
Justly considered a magnificent sparer nnd
ono of the best glove pot-formers In the
world. " Aaron was afterwards Introduced
to Morrlssoy , and promised that If he was' In
town ho woula spar with him at his bonollt ,
but Jones did not put In an appearance , nnd
the editor of the Cllppor commented on his
broach of protmto. Aaron foolHhly rushed
Into print in reply nmMho editor continued
bin spiteful attacks on Aaron weoltlv for
years after and tried to belittle him In tbo
eyes of the public In every possible way ,
Jones was pressed Into the con
federate service during the war
and again appeared In Now York
considerably the worse for wear and took
a bonollt which was welt patronized , the
nu di on co remembering the spiteful treatment
ho hud received from the Cllppor and ro
mcmbcrlnc his gallant performances in tbo
ring , his double battles with Ormo , Paddock
and Suyors , cnvo him tremendous cheers
again nnd again.
Jack McDonald wrote to Aaron after
Buyers Dent Brattle asking him
to return to England and bo matched with
Bayers for the third time , because , hn said ,
"all the stool was out of Sayers and ho now
stood as tttmo as a mouse , " and , Mac addad ,
"I will never leave him until I got him
licked" ( sentiments worthy of a savage ) .
The editor , soolng how public opinion ro-
pardcd Jones was , very adroitly veered round
nau said It was satisfactory to him to know
that Aaron had friends nnd backers behind
htm OU althouch whoa the match was pro
posed Air. Queen said "Tliero uro several
others ahead of this Jones , however , among
thorn Brotllo. an unknown and the Bonicla
Boy , that Buyers will tatto the easiest job
that offers wo do not bollovo. that is not tno
champion's way of doing business , " otc. The
same thingihap'ponbd to Tom Paddock some
years previously , when Mr. Vincent Do'V
ling , the editor of Dell's Life in 1850 and the
father of the referee in the Hconan-Sayers
contest , decided against Paddock for hitting
Bcndigo when ha was down. Long Charlie
of Birmingham fullo'l the rnforoowlth aUub ,
and Mr. Bowling hated Paddock in consa
quonco and never lost < in opportunity of
peppering him in his columns during the rest
of his II fo. . ,
'JL'ha round and ruddy , rough nnd ready
Paddock-had a passlonalo temper , but his
matches wore all square. Ho also lost his
Ijght with the Tlpton Slasher , then In his
zenith , by n fowl blow. That was another
opportunity for the editor to belittle liim ,
and In his second battle with Harry Paulson
of Nottingham , in Derbyshire , the magis
trate appeared on the ground and commanded
the men to stop lighting , and upon their con
tinuing to scrap , he read tbo riot act with
out cttoct and the battle continued very
hotly contested and was finally fairly xvon
by Paddock amidst disgraceful rioting.
Puddouk afterwards became so exasperated
with the editor's remarks that ho invaded
his olllt'o and threatened to knock his ova
out. Mr. bowling was a skillful fencer , and
ho placed his back to tbo wall , seized the
pouer and dolled Paddock and his pal to
come on. In the next issue of Boll's Life
Dowling did , not fall to glvo his account of
Pud doc It's visit , and salcl :
"This lufllau a candidate for tno British
championship ; out upon such counterfeit "
and added , "It won't bo long before a jurj *
Will bold an inquest on bis carcass for being
o principal in the light where such dis
graceful rioting toolc place. * '
As the vehicles returned to Derby , tbo oc
cupants ' were all arrested. After the trial
To the great delight of the editor of Bull's
Life bo hud a column headed in capital let-
toys : "Fnto of Paddock and His Compan
ions. " "Sentenced to Ten Months' Imprison
ment with Hard Labor In Derby Jail.
Paddock.Poulson and the four seconds had
to servo out their sentence. I fancy Mr.
Dowllng would I lite to huvogono'aud grlnued
utTom through the bars of tbo Jail and asued
him how hd liked breaking stones , and work
ing on tbo treadmill }
When the mnn served out tholr
sentences Paddock and Paulson worn
matched for the third time 1834 and
a tremendous glvo and take llstlc bombard-
tuout toolt place , lasting , two hours and a
half. Two. gamer men never mot in the ring

quarters. Both men were the same weigh
but Pa'ddocte was seven years younger and
had the advantage of tnroo Inches In height ,
and hod the best of It at long shots with his
loft and ho Dually won. Both men wer
fearfully puulsbed. Paddock got tno lion's
nil uro of tlia punishment IB n.auy of his con
tuts , but won through sheer courage and
doteriuk-atlon. Nothing scorned to dauu
him , Ho smashed hlsjrlght list In his baltli
with Bayers on the staiie , uml afterwards
knocked Tom oft his pins with his damaged
dulto.
After Tom Bayers had won the champion
ship and tliu truusforruhlo belt from the Tlp-
tou , his brother pugs aeotn to have been all
as busy us rats conspiring at bis overthrow.

minutes , Benjamin's backers declared that li
was only a ploco of accidental good fortum
on Tom's part. So after Bayers' defeat o.
Paddock in ItttS , Beujy's backers Packed him
again and determined to sparu no expouso In
getting him ( U for the mill. So llundlgo was
appointed to tram Hm , and Sayors * only con-
quoror. Nat Langham , wan also engaged tc
knar with him and put his owu peculiar pruc
tfco into his tactics as much as possible. The
Totorau Bondlgo trottud him up and down
the Welsh hill * and got him into splendid
condition , and old Nut took a run do\vii every
week and In many a heavy bout with the
cloves instilled now science and straight hit
ting powers Into him. The account of tbo
mill banded down to us , said his condition

This was the tight i Tom dodged out and
in lu his usual style , evidently tryluir for
' his favorlto double. " but Buujsmlu was
ready ; At length Tom dashed in and do-
llvorod his left ou the cheek , but was beauti
fully countered on tuo smaller and Benjamin
hut ) the honor of drawing lir t blood from
Uiul organ , trumondous cheering from tbo
TuQle . Bayer * seemed pricked at this , and
making his favorite dudgo ho popped bis left
ou the body and then OQ tbo chuok , knocking
.Honjamln off his plus , thus gaining the sec-
pud event and equalizing matters , The day
wan very warm and asyurs was too fat uud
not In condition so ho put on his considering
cap and concluded to cuanfo his tactics aud
Keif forcing the flgUt would oonfuso Boujur
mln and altcrtho fortunes of war. Bonja- '
roln had evidently profited by Nat's touching
in timing his tills with hts loft. Bayers wta
running a dangerous nsk in standing up and
giving bit for bit with a man physically his
superior , but ho thought Benjamin's want of
experience would tnaUo him forgot his newly
qoqulrod silence. The tcvonth round was n
tremendous glvo nnd taka affair , and wo
cannot do bettor than to publish IU "Benja
min looked savago. Ho lost no tlmo in dash
ing at his man. Sayers lot go his lott at the
nose , but Bonjy countered him straight nnd
well with the same hand opening n fresh
bottle. Several tremendous exchanges with
the loft followed. Benjamin astonishing
every ono by bis calmness and
by the precision with which ho
timed his hits. Each got popper
on tbo nose and oyci , and Snyors rapped a
nasty one in the middle of the forehead.
Sayors DOW missed his leftnnd Bill returned
well on the chock. They broke nway , nnd
after surveying ono another again wont at It
nnd more heavy exchanges took place , In
which Tom again turned on the main from
Bill's nasal fountain. Benjamin por.iovorcd.
and again did they dispute the ground Inch
by inch. Both were blowing nnd the confid
ence of Bill's friends was looking up. U
was plain both meant to do nil they know In
thin bout , and thnt each felt It was to bo the
turning point ono way or the other. Sayers
now got heavily on the loft eye which began
to close , while Bill caught him on the mouth.
The ilehtlng was tremendous , nnd the -vay
Benjamin stood to his man was beyond all
pralso. Sayors now and then wa extremely
wild , nnd had Bill possessed moro knowledge
of the result might have boon serious , for Tom
was evidently tiring fastbut still the greater
force of hU hitting was evidently tolling a
talo. As hit succeeded hit , Bill's dial grew
moro slantlndlcular ; but ho was undaunted
and had evidently made up his mind to do ur
die. At length they got to close quarters ,
ivhon some heavy fibbing took place and botn
'ell , Benjamin under. "
The eighth round ended by Benjamin at-
. .omptlng to plant his left nnd getting heavily
cross-countered on the Jaw by Tom's right
for his pains and knocked off bis pins , nearly
blind and almost out of tlmo.
The tenth round ended by Bill being again
leered by a hit on the good oyo. His
.ccond . : , Bondlgo and McDonald , throw up
ho sponge , but the poor fellow
broke from thorn and said ho
was not licked aad wanted to
provo that ho was no cur and
commenced the eleventh and last.
Benjamin trlod to load off , but it was a mere
flash lu tbo pan ; ho missed and stumbled
forward , when Tota gave him a slight tap on
the nose , which sent him for tbo last time to
grass. Ho was convoyed to his corner , nnd
his seconds then declared that do should
light no longer , Savors wont to him to shako
mnds , but Benjamin , who was nil but blind ,
tvished to commence another round ; this , of
course , could not bo listened to and the poor
fellow xvas forced from the ring against his
will , Sayers being proclaimed the winner In
twenty-two minutes , amidst enthusiastic
clieors. Bill was much oxbaustod and his
punUbmont was as heavy as ono generally
icoi in double the tlmo. Sayors was also
nucb exhausted , not so much from his pun-
shutout , ulthodgh in this respect ho did not
come off scathless , ns from want of condition
Lolling upon him In a battle wnich was dts
jiuted for4omo rounds with unwonted quick'
ness aud desperation. " That tight had the
> amo number of rounds and lasted the same
ongth of time us the memorable ono the
previous year botweou Morrlssoy and lloenun
n Canada , 1S5S.
The ring was then cleared for the second
contest between Bob TravoM , the black , and
Mlko Maddou. Mike declared In his clial-
engo to Bob that if ho could not got a light
out of him "ho would not die happy. " Bob ,
although the lighter and shorter man , woo
easily. Mlko is best Known in this country
from bis six hours and six minutes contest

Mace afterwards bout both Travorj and
Brottlo.
ItCMAUKS.
It has been said by ono who knows that to
become exports drummers and pugilists
should bogln young. Tno editor of Bell's
Life said that Benjamin was too old in tha
beginning , but said that Judging from such
activity nnd strength as no possessedthought
If ho had bocm In constant practice from boy
hood might have bean a champion. Benjam
in's hoicht-was 5 foot 10 % and bis lighting
weight was twelve stone ( iGS pounds ) and bis
general appearance was tbat of an active ,
powerful follow. Ho may bo living yet , I
nevcrheard of his death. If hols ho must
bo about the last of Savors' competitors.
Sayors was evidently surprised at the way
Benjamin got on to him at tirst. Tom's
chancre cf tactics succeeded admirably , al
though It was risky. Ho uovor fought tbat
way boforo. and bis want of rendition from
holding Bill too cheap carna near costing him
dear. By the way , my private opinion Is thnt
If the Hon. John JMorrUsy had had John L.
before him in 1858 his rushing style of flgh
ing would bavo ended differently , but I sup
pose that was before John L. was born.

It looks as it Danny Daly , Omaha's dobon
nalr little feather wolght , was mapping out
an exceedingly warm spring campaign. At
present ho is meeting all comers at his club
rooms in Chadronand up to date has knocked
out about everything of bis "heft" that can
bo found within a radius of ' . ' 00 miles. On
March 6 ho Is matched to meet Billy O'Don-
neil at Sioux City for a staUo of $500 , fttt ) of
which bos bflon ported with the sporting
editor of the Journal , and the balance will DO
forthcoming ou tbo day of the mill. Although
O'Donnoll is a vicious , sturdy little scrapper ,
Daly should punch him , soporlllcally. within
u round or two ,
Danny probably looks upon hU moot with
O'Uoonoll as a sort of a sldodlsh , or an
opportunity for u little extra Vigorous train

The sporting editor of TUB Br.n bas re-
lolvod a request from the Chicago Intcr-
Ocean for a forecast of the Maher Fitz-
slmmons and Uyau Ncodham lights , both of
which come off at Now Orleans , Wednesday
evening , March 2. The Inter-Ocean's request
called for the probable winner of oaoh con-
est , about how many routms , and what the
betting should bo. Tuu BRE ventured the
opinion thnt Muhor would win in about
cloven rounds aud that the betting should be
about f 100 to ( SO on him. Also that Need-
hum should win , In about twouty-livn rounds
and that oven money was -uuqut ull that
could bo asked. I might go on aud give tbo
reason for the faith tbat is within mo , but
ihall rest content to await tbo result. The
n tor-Ocean has made n like request of all
, ho best known sporting authorities "in" the
country , and the publication of tholr guesses
, vill certainly make au interesting column.
Patsoy Wagner , n light weight not unknown -
known to fnmo. is undergoing a'course of
calisthenics hi this cltv , with Jack Davis us
his overseer. The probabilities are that
there is a quiet little mill on the tapis. "
It there is yet any lingering douut in the
minds of tbo local admirers of Ilsliann , that
DICK Moore Isn't a lighter , they should bavo
witnessed his contest with P. J. Griffin a
week ago. Grifflu Is a big , powerful framed
individual , carrying weight enough to-Justify
a meet with any of the big oaes , an all round
athlete aud a tremendous lilltor. Indeed ono
of his backers Informed mo tbat Grlflln oamo
hero looking for Jack Davis , and , bo consid
ered it an outrage for Moore's friends to send
him into the ring against luch pdtls. Wellto
abbreviate n long story , Griflln was never lu
it at. any ataco of tbo road. Moore hit him
when aud where ho pleased , dcspito his dirty
fouling and hud him nt bis mercy when
the rofcroo generously , so far as the big
sprint runner was concerned , " .stopped tbo
light aud gave it to Moore. If it hud co'titin-
uod on another round Mr. Griflln would have
been a lltsuojeut for Mike Maul's cellar , in
stead of a Turkish bath room. -
Tim Nllnnd , thq South Omaha packer , who
caught Moore out of condition a few niontns
since , and put him out has returned to'So'uth
Omaha in company with Tim O'flearn. As
yet , however , he has made no response to
Moore's oft'or to stop him la ton rounds.
The announcement of tbo date of the Shor-

There will evidently bo many r ad lea
changes In the playing rules for tha coining
seasonono of which , and the most necessary ,
I think , Is their simplification. Aa they
stand now there uro many difficult to under
stand , and umpires are as frequently at fault
as any ono also.
Among the talked of chanpos that wil
hardly bo touched upon U the proposition to
exempt the pitcher from batting , to perml' '
manager ) * to coach from tbo lines ana to con
tinue unfinished games from ono day to an
other. But the blot of "dirty" ball playing
will bo obliterated If possible , which u is rea
sonable to suppasa will ba remedied by the
fixing ot heavy penalties for nil such offenses
Tbo blocking of base-runners at the plate by
catchers should ba seriously dealt with , ant
tbo catcher who places a mask or bat on the
line to obstruct and intimldato the runner
should bo taught a salutary lesson. Tbo firs
baseman , too , who gives tbo runner
the Knee or shoulder , a la Dan
Stearns , should ba handled without
glovea. and the batter who interferes with
the catcher by swinging tils club or otherwise -
wise to prevent n throw down to secom
should col bo overlooked. Noisy coaching is
a nuisance and should ba Incontinently dis
countenanced. Again , the rule prohibiting
all players save tbo captain from questioning
tbo umpire's decision should bo made
stronger , and It wouldn't be a bid change to
deprive oven tbo captain himself of thi
much-abusod privilege.
It is quite sure that a strong roaommonda
tlon will go before the board to reduce thi
number of balls to three , thus equalizing th
pitcher's aud batter's chancoi. In air
event there U to be a number of nmtona
cnangos.
How thu Double Sj-atem Will Work.
The double championship scheme , wuic
bas boon adopted by the Western league for
the coming season , is a dscldod innovation
but ono that will evidently result beaoflclall ;
to all the clubs in tbo circuit. The firs
championship schedule will couiUt of eighty
four gamoi. It will opou. late lit April prob
ably , aud finish some time in August. Th
tecond aud last schedule will ombraoo fifty
sU games and will end-October 1 , or Septem
ber no. The wlnnots of tboso championship *
will then meet In a tferMa of R.trrlns to docldo
who nro the chnmplonTpromlorof the whole
inapuo. and this fortdnato team will ba pitted
ngninst the winner * ot the big league
for the championship of the wcrld
This will make the sonson fnirly brlstlo
with excitement , avno team will bo irro-
trlovoably out of thojifnco until the second
chnrapltnship series is well under wny.
After iho close of the first series the tcims
falling short In piny lmr > strength will bo rein
forced by the pliiyors''coinmlttee , thus giv
ing them n second opportunity for pulling
off ft few laurel loaves , nnd relnvieoratlng
the public Interest In tno stniprlo.
Fullv considered tCjschomo Is n good one
nnd will go n long way Coward restoring the
old tlmo enthusiasm in the great sport.
