Joe Ohoyntki Cops a Sneak in His High'y

There seems to be pretty good grounds
tor the belief among the red hots that Jo
seph Bartlctl Choynskl , In his recent con-
'cst with Hob Fltztlmmons , endeavored to
op a sneak on the lengthy Australian ,
topping a sneak , In the elegant diction of
( he short-haired , Is to give an opponent the
louble-cross after having agreed with him to
tota fair , and no species of dishonesty Is
looked upon by them with the same contempt
that this trick Is. Putting your hand In a
man's pocket or working the outsiders Is a
laudable occupation In comparison.
However , the only harm that resulted
from Joe's alleged dishonorable tactics was
that ho lost his reputation as a formidable
opponent for any man and took a scientific
drubbing to boot. A New York friend , who
was present at the fight , says that the two
men had agreed to make It a draw and split
the gate , but In thu third round , when Fltz-
slmmons was getting rid of n few grand
stand frills , Choynskl thought the flood of
his affairs had arrived , and ho essayed to
take It at Its tldo , lured by the fortune that
It was to lead up to. So , gathering all the
emphasis of his lithe nnd muscular anatomy
In his good right arm , he laid his duke up
against Robert's jaw with a fervency that
came within nn ace of turning the trick.
Fltz went down like a hod of brick , and
took the full nine seconds before trying to
regain his pins. When he did get up ho
acted as If he didn't know whether he had
been struck by lighting or the roof hud
caved In , but when Joe sailed In to admin
ister the kibosh , he was cunning enough
to save himself by clinching. Then that
never falling friend of the almost out thu
gong returned the men to their corners.
The ono minute breathing spell was all Fltz
required , and when he again faced Joe there
was a steely glitter In his little eyes that
boded the California : ! anything but a 'merry
time. The result Is well known. Bob
punched Joseph about the ring as If he was
an Inflated bag , and when the end of the
six rounds came hud him where one moro
tap would have rendered him oblivious of
all things worldly , but he was still on his
feet , and Bill Daly made It a draw.
Wonder If Joe wears his opals still ?
It may seem queer , In fact somewhat In
credible. to vthe friends of Tommy Ryan In
this city , but the fact remains nevertheless ,
that up In Minneapolis and St. Paul , they
have. , made Billy Smith a decided favorite
in the UUla soiree that Is to be pulled off In
the palatial apartments of the Twin City
club on the night of the 26th. When In
Minneapolis at the Creedon-Mooro contest ,
the signs were that Tommy would be an
odds on favorite. I talked with about all
the .prominent followers of the game up
there , and they were unanimous on the
head that barring n lluko or an accident
Ryan Had the money as good as In his cake.
Now things arc Just the reverse , and they
will lay you 10 to 9 on the Mysterious gentle
man fr9iu Nehant. That Is , they say they
will , but I think about one 9 would push
them to a standstill. The sports of the polar
cities arc either four-flushing , or have arrived -
, rived pretty generally at the conclusion that
142 pounds Is a notch Tommy will find it ex
ceedingly hard to get down to nnd mete out
full justlco to an adversary of Billy Smith's
calibre. But of all the judges on this score ,
Ryan , himself , Is pre-eminently the best ,
nnd his Judgment Is good'-enough for me.
* If .ho has agreed to get down to 112 pounds ,
if down he'll get , and when he Is there , will
make It lively and Interesting for the best
man In the world. It Is an open question
wjth mo yet who will win , but It Ryan gets
through the first four rounds without nn at
tack of vertigo , I would say he should be
s as good ns ready money. Smith Is a hard
community , and for a time can make a
man fight- faster than a horse can trot.
Both men are In or near Minneapolis , nnd In
fine health and spirits and training hard.
About the special car that I am going to
rurf tp the fight. Well , nothing definite can
bo said Just yet awhile , as the strike has
* made a delay In thu preparations that could
not bo avoided. However , the boycott lifted ,
the excursion Is a. sure go , and one of the
nicest delegations that ever went out of the
t city Is assured. It will-be a regular Sunday
school picnic.
v The versatility of Champion Jim Corbett
v Is something even John L. Sullivan or Charlie
Mitchell ought to admire , anyway , at long
_ f range. Jim has made money nnd won rev -
, v nown both ns a banker and stockbroker , real
,3. estate speculator , prize fighter and on the
* ' histrionic boards. He Is a man of many
> talents , and can make more agreements and
fall to keep them than any man on the turf
today. Still , he docs all this In such an
astutp .and scB\lemaiily \ way that the people
always , cheer and never Jeer him. They do
not care whether he fights Jackson or not ,
Just so ho says he can lick him In a punch.
That ,1s , plenty for the masses , and If Peter
has no other place to go Just now , Jericho
wouldn't bo a bad destination. But I meant
to expatiate on Jlin/s talents for getting hold
of thd' ' stuff without undue risk or exertion ,
and didn't Intend to mention Jackson's mime
In this paragraph , for Just now , us probable
opponents within the magic circle , Jim nnd
Pctlo are small quantities. But a hard win
ter Is coming on , and provident , as he always
Is , the champion Is casting his lines about
him whereby ho may cop out a few thousands
Without laying brick or carrying the hod.
That ho will do thla as the backer and man
ager of Billy Pllmmcr , thu little English
bantam champion of the world , no wise man
will attempt to gainsay.
There Is the lad for you , Hilly Pllmmer.
Ho In the only fighter wno ever defeated
George Dlxon thoroughly and unqualifiedly ,
and Is the only living little man today whom
Dlxon Is unwilling to take on nt even terms.
Cornell's manifesto that lie will buck Pllm
mer for any Kind of money agulnbt any kind
of n man In his class shows that the cham
pion Is as good n financier as heIs a fighter.
There Is a fortune In Billy Pllmmcr , nnd
Corbett will endeavor to demonstrate It.
In justice to Joe Choynskl , who has been
commented on In u previous paragraph , I
clip the following talk he had with Hurry
Wcldan a day or two since ; Joe Choynkl ,
tha crack California pugilist , was a caller at
the lyiiquircr office last night. He has not
a mark or a scratch to show for his recent
fistic engagement with Hob Fltzslmmomj ,
the lanky Australian. His face color Is
good and he Is a very different looking man
from what he was when ho left hero to go
east for the fight , Joe Is hero on a visit.
His nfllanccd lives In this city and the wed
ding Is to take place some tlmo before the
opening of the theatrical season. Choyn-
ckl does not know anything u-bout his future
plans , only that another fight with Fltz-
slmmons U among the probabilities. "It
would bo too much to say that Bob Fltzslm-
mon'H victory over mo was a fluke , but It
was the next tiling to It , " said Qhoynskl.
'I had him whipped , but was too weak to go
on hmi On | h him , I don't know what was
the trouble with mo. I was entirely too
llRlit when I fought him. I only weighed
1GD pounds that night. I knocked him down
In the third round , and had him done right
there and then' . Then something came over
me it ml 1 Was * too weak to nold up my hands.
At that time I had him finished but for the
police. " t '
I " "What do you inVan by the police ? "
"Why , they ordered us to break away and
walk uroimd , lit -that third round when I
had him all but gone , " said Choynskl.
"Ndifc of 'the paper * said anything about this
> t part , o/'U. but It was true. Just think. I' '
only weighed 1B9 pounds that night and now
' I weigh 185 Voundi. That shows I wann't
right that night. Why. If I hod been my-
iclf and. had not fallen off weak after knock
ing hltir down \yould have won In a walk. "
"Is thm any lilmnce of you meeting him
"Yea. I think It U a certainty that we
will ught ngalu. I have challenged him and
ho baa promli 4 mo a go. When the othtr
match WAS made Parson Davlcs did not thlnl
very well of my chances with him. Now h
Is so much taken with the showing that
made that ho wll ! back me for $2,600 fo
another cngigcment with him. I'll remain
here until after the iHh ot July and then
will go to Chicago to consult with the Par
son. If I can get another match with Fltz
I will return and do my training here. "
That sounds all very nice , but so far a
another fight between Joe nnd Hob Is concerned
corned , don't you believe It. Of course Joe
must make his little talk , for there arc moro
fights to be fought before he Is permanently
retired , and any excuse Is better than no
excuse at all ,

1 IMI Itiirn for Iho I'riiinint.
So remarkable Is the pennant chase In th
Western association that base ball writer
all ever the country are forced to common
on It. Think of It. Here It li past the
Fourth of July , and yesterday there were no
less than four clubs , Lincoln , Omaha , St. Jo
and Jacksonville , virtually tied for first place
two for second , but ono game behind the
leaders , while Des Molncs was In third place
but four games behind. Such a status In a
championship rnco was never known before
In any league , and It will bo many , many
years before the like Is seen again. The
loss of u single game will upset the whole
standing , nnd three victories straight means
a long lead , considering the margin the
teams have been working In all summer
Who the final winner will bo Is a question
difficult to answer , but with her new men
at work , and another pitcher secured , Omaha
should certainly be tlicro or thereabouts.
I'or Second mid Third.
The Omaha management has signed two
new men , second and third basemen , Langs
ford and Hutchison , both ot whom nrrlvei
yesterday , and will be seen on the tcan
today. These two men cost the Omaha club
just J37.r , which , considering everything , Is
a whole , lot of money for this young organiza
tion to pay out nt this time of year , and In
these kind of times. Tlio cranks should con
sider this when administering criticism , am
give the club officers credit for an carncsl
attempt to give the city the best base ball
In the circuit. A new pitcher will bo se
cured at any cost on the very first oppor
tunity , and when one Is secured the Omahas
can be expected to take after the rug for
keeps. _

So 'far this season Omaha has whipped
Qulncy eight times , while Qulncy has licked
the Rourkes but once.
Frank Geiilhs scored from first on a single
at Milwaukee , nnd his great sprinting gave
Sioux City the winning run.
The batting of Pedros nnd McVcy has been
tremendous. In the last six gumei.Peddy
has made seventeen hits and McVey fifteen.
Billy Moran has the best batting average
In the Western association , .350. In the
last six Games Billy has only made twenty
hits.
Billy Moran Is undoubtedly the finest
catcher In1 the Western association. In fact ,
Billy Is up to the standard of the best in the
big league.
Manager Rourke Is expecting one of the

disappointed.
In the three games with Qulncy the

It Is a fact not Generally known that
Walter Q , Qrcsham Is the only person with
one exception who ever held three different
cabinet positions. April 3 , 18S3 , whllo sit
ting as Judge of the United States district
court at Hvnnsvlllc , lint. , ho received a dis
patch from President Arthur notifying him
of his appointment ns postmaster general to
succeed Timothy O. Howe , who had died.
He accepted the place and served until Sep
tember 21 , 18S4 , when ho was appointed
secretary of thu treasury to succeed Charles
J. Folccr , deceased , nnd March 4 , 1893 , he
became secretary of state In Mr. Cleveland' ?
cabinet. His first appointment In Arthur's
cabinet precipitated n fierce factional con
test In Indiana politics , the outcome of
which was the election of Hcnlamln Harrison
risen to the presidency. The other "third-
timer" as a cabinet official was Timothy
Pickering of Massachusetts , who was post
master general under Washington In 1791
and served until 1795 , when he became sec
retary of war , nnd subsequently was op- '
pointed secretary of state , succeeding Ed
mund Randolph. Whllo secretary of war
Mr. Pickering founded the military school
nt West Point , nnd during his occupancy of
the olllce the frigates Constitution , United
States and Constellation were built. A
great many cabinet officers have had a second
end term , but Hugh McCullough nnd Wil
liam Wlndom nre the only ones who ever
twlco filled tlic same cabinet place. Mc
Cullough was secretary of the treasury for
Mr. Lincoln nnd Mr. Arthur , while Wlndom
was In the cabinets of Oarfleld and Harrison
at the head of the Treasury department.
Horatio King , who wao postmaster general
a few months at the close of the Huchnnan
administration. Is the only survivor of nil

AN ASTONISHED BARBER.
A fair You UK l.ndy AH | ( mid tlclK n
Clrini .Shine ,
Hut ono of the dozen chairs In a popular
Vine atreet barber shop waa vacant nbotlt 10
o'clock the other morning says the Cincin
nati Times , when n fashionably dressed
young lady entered , removed her wrap , veil
and hat nnd handed them to the openmouthed -
mouthed boy , walked to the vacant chair , s.it
down In It , threw her head Mck on the ,
padded rest nnd placed her dalntly shod feet
on the foot bench.
"Hangs trimmed ? " asked the barber.
"Nope shave , " Shu said , gazing compos
edly at the celling.
"Huh ? " grunted the wonder-stricken bar
ber.
"Shave , " slio repeated without winking
"here and here , " pointing to her upper lip
and to the skin In front of her ears.
The barber , keeping his eyes on her nil
the time , tucked the towel under her chin ,
lathered the places she had Indicated ,
stropped the razor nnd went to work. A few
strokes and It was over , nnd when her face
had been washed nnd powdered she left the
chair , allowing the boy to put on her wrap ,
adjusted her hat nnd veil with much delib
eration and , throwing n half dollar on the
cashier's counter , walked out.
The effect of this visit on the other bar-
bars and their victims was to cause the
barbers to forget , for the first time In their
lives , to tell their victims that they needed
shampoos nnd the victims to notice the cuts
In their faces when the lady said "shave. "
The barber who shaved the pretty lady ,
when ho recovered , sold there was u fine
growth of hair on her face , Just enough
when It got long to give the skin a slightly
dark hue.
A .Monitor Map.
The giant of the map family Is now In
course of preparation and construction at
Washington , D. C. It was begun over twelve
years ago , under the supervision of the
United States geological survey corps , and It
will not be more than half completed at the
end of the present century. Some Idea of the
gigantic plan upon which the map I * being
constructed nnd of the magnitude of such
an undertaking may be formed by consider
ing the fact that the portion which deline
ates the little stnto of Connecticut and the
northern tip of Long Ishml Is six feat In
length and nearly live feet wide. When thla
wonderful map Is finished It will Indicate
the exact location of every brook , creek ,
river , hillock , mountain , valley , farm , vil
lage , RchoolhoiiBo and city In the land , nnd
will show every public and private road ami
highway as perfectly ns the surveyor's map
gives them In the tnwnshlps. When com
pleted this map will cover almost an aero In
superficial area. This being the case It can
not bo cither hung' up or spread out , and In
order to make the Information It contains
available It will bo Issued on the sectional
plan.
HISTORIC SLAB UNCOVERED.
Worlcmrn Itlmmrr it Hello of n SoeU'ty
l.oni ; Slum i\tlnrt. :
While workmen were blasting In Main
street , Kredonla , Clmiitawiua county , N. V.k
recently , they turned up a slab three feet
long , two feet wldo and one fool thick , bearIng -
Ing nn Inscription which was very clear
when the stone had been washed. One sldo
of tha stone was polished smooth nnd bore
the following letters :
Vos IJsl U no3 AMalls manclplum ct
I'Krl.i. fiili yr of alitlem.
tVuii'laia luxe visited the spot , Inspected
ili slab , pur/lo.l over tin ; Inscription and
mndo many attempts at translation. All bo
ll eve that the l.inguago has direct bearing ;
on the almost forgotten belief of Antlnoml-
nnlsm , which nourished In the old world , par
ticularly In Knglnnd during Cromwell's reign.
The IIli [ ( year of Anllem , the diito upon
which the Inscription was supposedly chiseled
Into the surface of the slab , would bo 1C3I.
According to history , the believers In Anil-
nomlanlsm Interpreted the fourth chapter ot
Itomans and the second chapter of 1'ctcr
In such a manner that they believed men
nnd women could violate all moral la\\s ot
personal purity and still be good Christians.
This easy sort of religion nt one tlmo had
many disciples and Us precepts were lived
up to In the years wlileh followed the rolgn
of the dissolute Charles II. It was finally
stamped ant , lost sight of and forgotten.
It Is brllcved that some of these may have
found thlr way through the wilderness ami
established themselves In what Is now Kro-
donla. Here they set up a temple and lived
according to their peculiar belief. The total
disappearance may b ? accounted for on the
basis that they lost ll.elr lives by falling
victims to the Indians. Further Investiga
tions will bo made In the hopes of discover
ing additional relics of this forgotten belief.
The slab will be preserved by thu Clmntnmnin.
