18 ■ JACK BENNETT, WELTERWEIGHT. Who Will Moot Jack Daley In 25-llonml Bout To-morrow Night. To-morrow night Jack Daly and Jack Bennett will meet In a twenty-flve round bout at the theater, and those that know the game and the men, and are, therefore, in a position to talk, say that it will be dhe of the best bouts ever pulled off in Savannah. | Daly is a war horse, knows the game from beginning to end, has met and defeated some of the best men in the country, including Bennett him self, and can be depended on to give an exceedingly warm time to anybody that faces him in the squared circle. Bennett, though he has not so many bouts to his credit as has his op ponent-to-be, is easily among the very foremost men of his weight, a place that he clinched only a short time ago by knocking out Charlie Mclveever Sn four rounds. His former defeat at the hands of Daly was received when he was only a youngster, 17 years old. Since that time he has met and con quered many of the best men in the business. He possesses all the qualities of a pugilist—skill, endurance, ability to endure punishment, and to inflict it. It is said that his leg work is wonderful, and will be a revelation to those that see the bout. | Both men have done good training work. Daly at Thunderbolt, at Neil Gildea's place, and Bennett in the gymnasium of Owen Zeigler. The of ficers of the bout probably will be selected to-morrow morning, when, also, the men will weigh in. 1 There Is still much discussion about the Kuhlln-Jeffries bout that Sa vannah failed to secure, and this discussion ts not limited to Savannah by any means, but seems to be general over the state. Many of the papers of interior towns seem to be under the Impression that the bout was to be un der the auspices of the State Fair. This, of course, was not the case, all ef forts to get the boxers having been made by the manager of the Savannah Athletic Club and some others of the sporting fraternity that are interested in affairs of this sort. The mistaken Impression probably got abroad through the fact that many of the people Interested In the State Fair thought that a bout such as was Intended to be given, could the men be secured, would prove a drawing fcard for the State Fair, and unhesitatingly said so. Though the bout between the "big ones” cannot be had, the promoters of the affairs are nevertheless deterralend if possible to give a bout between first-class men here during the fall, probably while the Fair is in progress, and to this end will soon open negotiations with two first class men, noth ing short of championship material will be considered. They will not. of course, be in the heavyweight class, as the top-notchers in that are already tied up with engagements that preelude the possibility of making an engage ment to meet in Savannah, but there is much good material in the middle and the welterweight classes and from one of these will be secured the men for the Savannah show.

NEWS AT THE THEATER. Miuingeri Are Promising Sluny New Attractions for the Opening Season. A New York letter says the theatri cal caterers are just now busily engag ed in arranging what they hope may be dainty morsels for the theater-going public next season. And while every thing is hurry and flurry within the culinary or production department, there is also an air of hesitancy in many instances for fear the appetite of the next season's audiences may not be so keen in certain-directions as might generally be supposed. Yet, despite the usual air of uncer tainty as to what is best to do and what play will be most appreciated, the theatrical bakers are hard employ ed working up the dough which, with in the coming month, will be ready for the oven of public approval or dis approval by the opening of next sea son. Many of the choice productions to be served up hot and tempting in the Broadway theaters early in September urq now on the fire or going through the various stages of evolution pre paratory to their first appearance be fore their audiences. These on a first night are usually made up of epicures, who sometimes forget even their table manners in their eagerness to show their joy or sorrow over the efforts of the anxious chefs, as well as a long list of minor cooks, including the com posers, librettists, dramatizers, adapt ers and an occasional playwright. Of late years the foremost caterers of theartlcal dainties have found that their audiences of a first night are in clined to dine with mallets and ham mers in place of the old-style knives and cleavers. Unlike the proverbial ostrich, the New York first-night bri gade cannot eat everything that is placed before It, so it will be interest ing to watch the trend of fickle appe tites after having recovered from a severe attack of dyspepsia, due in part to having dined too regularly last sea son on badly grilled dramatized novels, not to mention the other indigestible theatrical food served hot over the Broadway footlights. The places of amusement all did a good business this week because of the remarkably cool weather the metropolis has been enjoying. “The Strollers” at the Knickerbocker Theatre, who have defied all sorts of weather, are doing especially well and will probably be drawing full houses In September. Modjeska, who has been In Europe since the close of last season, recently appeared at Lembergh, the capital of Austrian Poland, in anew play, sup ported by the members of the endow ed theater of Cracow. It was the first time in many years that the Polish ac tress had spoken her native language on the stage. Cable reports say she met with an ovation. She has been tak ing the waters of Kissengen for sev eral weeks past and is now in Paris, where she will remain until the middle of August. She is due to arrive in America the latter part of the month when she will at once begin rehearsals with Mr. Louis James, in Wagenhals & Kemper’s big production of “Henry VIII.” The company engaged to support R. D. McCann and Odette Tyler the com ing season in ' their productions of “Corlalanuß” and “King John” is one of unusual excellence. Max von Mit zil of last season's Modjeska company will be the leading man. Frank Hen ntg. for years leading man for the late Thomas W. Keene, will enact the heavy role. Mr. Henry Vandenhoflf will play Volumnia in “Coriolanus,” and Augustus Mac Lean, brother of the tra gedian. will play some of the most im portant parts. The remainder of the company has been selected with care by W. G. Smyth, who directs the tour.

One Plain PriCC Ficmrpc 1 I g ul ca, The first production of “Coriolanus” in twenty-five years in this country will be given at Columbus, 0., Sept. 2. The season of Murray & Mack In “Shooting the Chutes” will open at Norfolk, Va., ob Sept. 2. The company this season will be the largest and best that Murray & Mack have ever had In their support. The title of Harry B. Smith's new musical comedy, “The Liberty Belles,” which Klaw & Krlanger produce in September, hag led many to believe that that the new piece is a colonial story. On the contrary, it will be found very much 1901 in all its aspects. The title refers to the two principal fe male characters, who are expelled from a seminary for a sentimental escapade. They take advantage of their mishap to endeavor to become self-supporting, and on this situation as a basis Mr. Smith has erected a structure of com ical incidents carrying a very lively interest. SMASHED THE BASIN. Negro Wonsan Angry Because Hus band Spent Money for Ram. Because her husband persisted in spending his week's salary for whis key Katie Fair, colored, became en raged last night, and smashed her hus band's large wash basin on West Broa<\ and Harrison streets. The noise made by the breaking crockery attract ed the attention of Patrolman Buck wald, and the officer placed the wo man under arrest on a charge of dis orderly conduct. At the police station she seemed sorry for her display of temper, but declared that she was driven to it by the acts of her husband. She had spent her last cent for the basin so that he would be able to wash his face before leaving for work in the mornings, and was put out wffien she discovered Fair spending his hard earned money in a West Side whiskey house. She asked him to go home with her, and put the money to a better use, and when he refused she broke the basin. If Fair has any of his sal ary left he will probably have to use it to pay his wife out of jail, after she is tried by Recorder Myrlck in Police Court. HEARINGS WERE CONTINUED. Motions for Nevr Trials In Cases of Elijah Show and Others. The motion for anew trial that has been filed by Mr. R. L. Colding, coun sel for Elijah Shaw, was to have been argued in the Superior Court yester day. By agreement between Mr. Cold ing and the solicitor general the hear ing was continued until such time in the future as counsel may select and the court approve. Shaw was tried and convicted of murder, but the Jury that tried his case recommended that ho be punished by imprisonment in the penitentiary for life, and he was so sentenced by Judge Falligant. The particulars of the crime with the commission of which lie was charged have been printed in the Morning News. Hearings were to have been had also on the motions for new trials filed in the cases of C. F. Luerson and O. Ro berto, convicted, through the efforts of the Good Government League, of 'he violation of the Sunday closing laws, but these hearings were also postponed by consent. A motion for anew trial was also filed by Mr. Colding in the case of Charles . H. Levan, tried and convicted for the of fense of keeping open a tippling house on Sunday. The motion alleges the formal grounds of error and no specifi cations are made. —Marriage a Failure.—" Poor Matle, her marriage was a disappointment."

Clever All Around Team Work and Young Downey’s Pitching Res|>on sible for the Victory—Errors at Critical Times sln(le the Score Larger Than It Otherwise Would Have Been Fielding of the Library Boys Gilt-Edge Mcln tyre’s One Hand Catch a Feature. C. L. A’s. nuil Oglethorpes to Play Next Saturday—Amateur Baseball on a Room and the Games Excit ing Much Interest. By clearly outplaying their opponents at every point, assisted by Downey’s splendid pitching, the Catholic Llbrary Association ball team defeated the Chatham Artillery at the Bolton street park yesterday afternoon by the score of 10 to 3. It was the first game of the artillerymen, and while they showed up well at some points they showed their lack of practice. Young Downey, better known among his compatriots of the ball field as “Kid,” appeared on the slab for the Library team, and his work in the box was of a high order. He had plenty of speed, his curves were puzzling, and his control of the ball was excellent. This was the first game Downey has pitched since the organization of the local teams, though he has pitched in some local games which were not play ed for exhibition. He made a fine im pression, and the wise ones predict that he is a comer. He contributed not a little to the general playing, fielding his position well, getting in a nice hit at the right time and scoring two runs. The work of the Library team all around was gilt-edge and looked nlore like the playing of professionals than anything that has been seen on the diamond in some tiiye. The team work was excellent and the result of the practice which the boys had in Waynesboro was plainly apparent in the work of the team. The work of Mclntyre and John Downey in the infield was conspicu ous and both men played all over the diamond. Mclntyre’s one-hand stop of a hot liner was one of the prettiest plays and the only sensational one in the game. Frank Mclntyre was on the Initial bag and cared for his territory in good shape. Clem O’Byrne, an old timer, played centerfield and got two nice flies that came his way. Jim Sullivan’s throwing to first of balls which he had fielded were large ly responsible for several runs twith which the C. L. A.’s are accredited. While the Ohathams made an aggre gate of seven errors they put up a good game, considering that they have not had much practice. When they have been playing some time and (get down better in team work the> will have a first-class team. It was thought that Krenson would pitch for the Chathams, but a clean-cut looking fellow, answering to the name of Pelzer walked to the box when the game was called and immediately there were all sorts of whispers as to who the new man was. Naturally, every body thought he was a sort of ringer. Pelzer is from the town of Pelzer, in the state of South Carolina, and his pitching showed that they know how to play ball over in the Palmetto state. He allowed the Library team but three hits and otherwise pitched a fine game, but his support was not what he de served. Herbert Kayton caught a good game and Bert Sullivan at center roped in three flies. The game was a fast one and never lagged in interest for a minute. The Library boys started off in the first inn ing, scoring three runs on a hit and two errors. It looked like the Chat hams were going to pieces at once, and C. L. A. rooters looked for a walkover, but It was not to be without a strug gle. The Chathams settled down after this, and the C. L. A.'s did not score again until the seventh inning, when they managed to get in another run. Two more were chalked up in the eighth and the ninth brought four more, with a total of ten. so when the Chathams came in for their half of the last there was no doubt as to the out come. Up to this time the Library boys had managed to keep the Artillery men from scoring, sending them out eight consecutive innings with a goose egg marked against them. It looked to the spectators like a clean shut out, but the soldiers saved their colors. Jim Sullivan got his base on an error, or perhaps a scratch hit, Garmany got his base the same way and both scored on Bert Sullivan’s long drive to left, which Smith misjudged and missed, Sullivan afterward scoring on a sacri fice. There was a good-sized and enthusi astic crowd of spectators and both teams were represented by rooters, some of whom made a good deal of fun for the crowd. The umpiring of John Riley seemed to give dissatisfaction to both sides, but it was evident that Mr. Riley meant well. His decisions were cer tainly off once or twice, but he favored neither team and it was an even break on the close decisions. The following is the official score of the game: C. L. A.— AB. R. H. PO.

Professional* liinsey and Connery Will Try Conclusion# Wednesday. The race meet to be given at Tybee Wednesday by Mr. William Bohan promises to be one of the greatest events ever held on the island. I. U. Kinsey, Jr., and C. P. Connery will fight for honors in the mile open. The match race Is to be ridden In three heats of one-half mile, one mile and five miles each. The winner of two heats will receive the money. The race will no doubt be very fast, as both men are in excellent form. They'can be seen out dally, but always going in an opposite direction. It appears that they do not wish to meet until the “grind by the sad sea waves,” where all will be settled. Since the Kinsey road race there has been a renewed interest in racing, and it, will be but a short time ere there Will be meets galore. The next attraction will be the Ele frus Road Cycle Club's road race to be run on Waters road. Aug. 24. Sept. 2, Labor Day, will b celebrated at Tybee by several events, one of which will be the bicycle races on the beach, which promsies to be one of the star attractions. RIFLE PRACTICE SEASON. Seven Men Have Rnalifled for Class of Expert Sharpshooters. The rifle practice season is in full blast here now, and the usual amount of Interest Is being taken by all the companies in this manly exercise. The amount of money spent by the differ ent companies upon rifle practice is very large, and would surprise the or dinary reader. The allowance of am munition from the state is very small, and does not begin to supply the de mand, hence the companies have to provide a great deal of it at their own expense. All of them .reload their empty shells, as fixed ammunition Is very expensive, and- some few mold their own bullets. The Savannah Cadets, particularly, de vote considerable time to the work of reloading, and in a recent season mold ed into bullets a ton and a half of lead by actual weight. Money spent upon this, the most important branch of a soldier’s training, is, of course, spent to good advantage. The high class of expert sharpshoot er recently established in the state has spurred many of the men to redoubled efforts. At present there have been seven qualifications, as follows: Capt. J. C. Postell, First Cavalry, 151. This exceptionally high score was made with a carbine; Private R. C. Fetzer of Battery A, First Heavy Artillery, who has made 150; Sergt. Frank Sloat of the Savannah Cadets, who was the first man to attain to the new honor, made 148; Private Ed ward Carter of the Cadets, who also made 14S. and Private R. J. Travis of the Fame company 147. Capt. C. H. Richardson, quartermaster of the First Infantry, who has a score of 149. Sergt. Silley F. Cook of the Republican Blues, who reached the mark with a score of 145. It takes a score of 145 points out of a possible .175 to become an expert. So far 28 sharpshooters have been qualified in the First Infantry, the Cadets lead ing with seventeen. The First Heavy Artillery has qualified 10 sharp shoot ers, Battery B leading with six. The Hussars have qualified one sharp shooter, and in the Chatham Artillery, Johnnie Wheaton has made the high score of 138. deserving much credit for the way in which he holds up the Chat ham end of the line, year after year. The season will be at its hight for a month longer, and the companies will all add to their figures of merit, the showing so far hardly equals that of last year. More attention is being paid to revolver practice this year than is usually the case, and some fine scores are being made. There is considerable interest evi denced in regard to Col. Cann’s annual r fle contest. Col. Cann states that he has not yet settled upon a date, as he is waiting to hear from the company commanders. The general opinion seems to he that some date in late August or early September, would give much bet ter results than could be expected If the contest were to be put off until No vember, during the Fair. It Is to be hoped that those officers who have not yet expressed themselves upon this subject will do so at once, so that this Important matter of a date, may ho definitely settled. It is expected to make the contest a bigger success this year than ever before. Col. Cann ex pects to arrange several revolver matches and this would have the effect of bringing to Savannah good pistol shots from all over the state. It 19 thought that the Savannah represen tatives will hold their own in all of the different events. —Too Much Work in That. —“He say 9 the world owe# him a living.” “Well, so it does.
