Blood, the local champion coior-ei wei
thrw-eight, hammer Kid Ferguson of
Philadelphia to the Soar last right a:
the Savannah Athletic Club aud final
ly put his man out in the eighth round
with a short arm punch to the neck,
and a swinging left on the body.
Though it was Bloods battle from
the first tap of the gong, it was not
without exciting features from the very
fact that the wonderful power of the
local champion in his punches sent
Ferguson to the canvas for the count
time and again, and it was not until
the merciful seconds of Ferguson threw
& towel into the ring, which is the
professional wig-wag to announce that
the man from that corner has enough,
that the punishment was stopped.
Blood left the ring without a scratch
and each round came up as fast and
lively as at the first tap of the gong.
Those who have watched him closely
since he has been appearing in the
ring of the Savannah Athletic Club
believe that Blood has In him the
making of a champion, with proper
handling.
Taken by rounds, the fight was one
series of knockdowns for Blood. In
the first he was a little wary, but soon
landed one of his left uppercuts, that
put Ferguson to the bad. The latter
then led out for a series of low swipes
that fell short, and In one of his
swings he threw himself to the floor.
Ferguson was evidently out of condi
tion, and had no steam behind his
punches. He was holding all the way
through after the second round.
The agreement was that the go
should be according to the modified
rules, contestants breaking at the call
of the referee, with no fighting after
the word had been given. Ferguson
disobeyed these rules, and would have
had a decision against him in the sec
ond round had it not been for the
fact that the crowd yelled to let them
light, that they did not want the go
stopped on a foul.
The preliminary was won In the
fifth round by Yamacraw Jim from
Young Albert. These men were both
anxious to lay down after they had
been fighting three rounds. The
rounds were extended to four minutes
each, and both were looking longingly
towards the timekeeper before the gong
sounded.
Blood will rest two weeks, when he
will again defend the welterweight
championship of the South against
Cape Town Joe, who Is at present at
St. Augustine, where he has engaged
in a number of bouts recently. This
will perhaps be the best show seen in
Savannah yet. Cape Town is already
known here, where he has fought on a
number of occasions, winning from
Blood in their last bout several months
ago. Blood says he is willing to fight
Joe, winner take all, and it is possible
that an agreement of this kind will be
made before the bout is pulled off.

FINE ANDTMPRISONMENT
IMPOSED ON W. E. MOORE.
Mast Serve Five* Years In Federal
Prison at Atlanta.
For making false Jurats in pension
claims W. li Moore, the Guyton colored
attorney, was yesterday sentenced by
Judge Speer to five years at hard labor
In the federal prison at Atlanta, and to
pay a fine of SSOO. Moore was the sec
retary o? the Republican Congressional
Committal: for the First district, and a
number of the locul colored politicians
were In attendance on the court yester
day, as well as several of the white
leaders.
When the court called for Moore to

walked briskly before the bar, and with
folded hands, waited until sentence hud
been pronounced, Before passing sen
tence Judge Speer asked If anything
w*s to be said In his behalf. Mr. H. K
Wilson, his attorney, stated that Moore
was a man with a wife and live chil
dren dependent upon him for support,
and that It had not been shown thut
he had perpetrated the frauds for his
own benefit.
In sentencing him Judge Speer said
he would not add to his suffering by
any characterization of the crime of
which he had been convicted. It was
the opinion of the court, said Judge
Speer, that there was no doubt of his
guilt and that if such occurrances
were allowed to go unpunished there
would be no telling how direful the re
sults would be. In case of good be

ably shortened.

Three members of tile Savannah ball
club will arrive to-day on the Mer
chants and Miners Line from Phila
delphia, Bill Oyier, Savidge, a pitcher,
and John Welsh, outfielder.
Oyier is a brother of the Baltimore
short stop, and is said to be the fastest
in the small league business. He has
had all of the benefit of professional in
dependent teams, and comes to Sa
vannah thoroughly seasoned.
Savidge is from Mifflnville, Pa., and
was recommended to Mr. Boyer by
Pittinger of the Boston club. Pittinger
said he considered Savidge one of the
most promising young pitchers he had
ever seen work. He is six feet tall,
weighs about 180, and has the speed
of a cannon ball.
Welsh has played on some of the
best independent leagues in Pennsyl
vania, and hit considerably over the
.300 mark last season. As soon as
these men arrive they will be put to
work, and as each man comes in he
wUl.be added to the team. It Is Mr.
Boyer's intention to bring about eigh
teen men, all told, to Savannah, and
from these teams will be chosen to
play against each other.
The uniforms have not yet been un
packed, but will probably be put on
exhibition in Lovell's window to-day.
Mr. Boyer was tco busy yesterday ar
ranging matters out at the park to
look after getting the suits out. The
ten dozen balls which were donated to
each club have been sent to all of the
clubs. Savannah’s lot arrived yester
day. These balls were given to the
teams in order to have the league
adopt the Spalding ball.
Members of the Y. M. C. A.'s team,
which will play Dad Laßocque and his
Pathfinders on April 9. are now going
out for practice daily, and expect to
give the youngsters a hard game.
In speaking of Savannah's chances
in the league race, Mr. Charles Mc-
Caminon, who is half owner with Mr.
Boyer, said yesterday, that he did not
fear all the talk that Con. Strouthers
was putting up about his Augusta
team, but that the teams he most fear
ed were Ed. Ashenback's Dreamers,
and Kelly's Jays. Ashenback Bnd
Kelly have been keeping quiet and
sawing wood, and their teams are al
ready getting together. Jacksonville

THE TROOPERS OUTBOWLED
BY TEAM FROM FLORIDA
Visitors Tooh Three Games Out of a Series
of Four.
The Jacksonville bowlers defeated a
team of the Georgia Hussars in a
match of four games played on the al
leys of the troopers last night.
The Hussars took the first game
easily, but the visitors took the re
maining three and the match.
At the close of the last game the Sa
vannahians gave three cheers for the
victors, who responded in kind, and
then a committee of the Ilussars es
corted the visitors to the De Soto,
where the Floridians became the
guests of the committee at dinner. The
victors left for their home early this
morning.
The match was watched by a fair
crowd, most of Its members themselves
devotees of the game. Each good play
was applauded, for despite the average
small scores, there were several exhi
bitions of fine bowling. The local men
didn’t lack rooters, but in spite of their
help they couldn’t win; it was their
off night, for the scores made were
away below their average, either in
practice games, or In the matches
that they have been taking part in all
through the season.
This Is not Intended to detract, how
ever, from the clever bowling of the
visitors who played hard and consist
ently, and liiercased the total ot each
successive game over that pred
ecessor. The best of good feeling pre
vailed among the opponents, who con
gratulated each other on good plays
Hk often as they were made. The score
follows:

with the Atlanta Southern League
team.
Jack Grim will line up his Blind
Tigers against the Brooklyn team next
week, and Billy Smith will send the
Highlanders against the Atlanta team,
on its return trip from Jacksonville.
Manager Boyer hopes to have the
diamond out at Bolton Street Park
perfectly smooth by the end of the
week, and will then commence the
work of putting up the bleachers. The
work on the grand stand is progressing
rapidly. The old house in right field
will not be torn down, as was at first
contemplated, but will be used as a
dressing room for the players. It will
be remodeled and put in presentable
shape.
A fence with wire netting over it
will be run from each side of the grand
stand out to each field, so that the
players will not be crowded by specta
tors, as has been the case in former
years.
President Boyer will leave Savannah
to-morrow night for* Jacksonville,
where he goes to be present during two
of the games between the Jays and
Powell’s Crackers. Mr. Boyer will
probably make a trip around the cir
cuit before he comes back to Savannah.
In the meantime the work on the Sa
vannah grounds, and the trying out of
the players will go on under the super
vision of Dad Laßocque, who will ar
rive to-morrow, and Mr. McCammon.

MAYOR PUT IN
A PROTEST
TOO MUCH LAXNESS, HE SAID
IN WAY CLAIMS ARE BEING PAID
FOR ARTICLES DESTROYED.
Mayor Myers Maile Sharp Comments
on Report of Joint Committee on
Health and Finance, and Chair
man Glatigny, Defended His Com
mittee—Glatigny Suggested That
Disinfecting Pin lit Be l*nrehased.
Discussion Last Night May Lead to
Tills Being Done—Glutigny Said He
Would Show It Is Needed.
Mayor Myers entered a protest at the
Council meeting last night, when favor
able reports had been read on eight pe
titions for payment for articles de
stroyed by the health department.
The remark of the Mayor brought
the chairman of the Joint Committee
on Health and Finance. Alderman
Glatigny, to his feet at once, and a
spirited debate followed, in which a
number of the aldermen joined.
“We must not forget,” the Mayor
said, “that whatever we do in these
cases is charity. I see here a claim
for S3O for a mattress. Now, a man
who can afford to own a S3O mattress
is not a fit subject for charity."
“It is not a man; it’s a widow,” an
swered Alderman Glatigny. “She had
$lO4 worth of property destroyed by the
city, and we are giving her only sls
in return. The payment was recom
mended by Dr. Brunner, the health offi
cer."
"That’s all right, but Dr. Brunner
does not supply funds for making the
payment. The city has to pay,” put
in the Mayor.
“Turn Them All Down.”
“I move we turn them all down,”
suggested Alderman McKenna.
Alderman Thomas said he favored
paying the particular claim the Mayor
had used as an example.
The Mayor insisted that too many
donations were being made for arti
cles destroyed to prevent the spread of
disease. Where payment is made, it is
always put in the sbap of a donation,
as it has been decided by the Supreme
Court that the city is not liable. The
Mayor repeated that whatever is
given is mere charity and should
only be given where the owners of the
property actually needed assistance.
“If we don’t confine ourselves to such
cases, we will impoverish the city,” he
said.
Dluiufecting Plant Suggested.
“Well, the solution of that is to get
a disinfecting plant,” answered Aider
man Glatigny.
"Which would ruin as much stuff as
it disinfected,” put in Alderman Dixon.
“If you think a disinfecting plant is
needed, put in a report to that effect,”
said the Mayor. “Get up some figures
and show us that it is needed.”
“It is needed,” said Alderman Glat
igny, “and I will.”
Alderman Wright stated he had not
been present at the meeting of
the committee, and Alderman
Glatigny answered that it had
been called in the regular way. Al
derman Wright replied he knew it had,
but was unable to attend the meet
ing.
Did What Thought Was Right.
Alderman Glatigny then stated that
he, and the other two members of the
committee present had done what they
thought was right. The sls donation
recommended was in an especially
worthy case, he said. The lady is a
widow and makes her own living by
taking boarders. The city had destroy
ed $lO4 worth of her property to protect
others and sls was not too much to give
in return, he said.
The Mayor was not entirely con
vinced and said he thought the com
mittee should be instructed to give to
charity alone. The absence of the
members of the committee was dis
cussed and Alderman Thomas suggest
ed that a smaller committee be ap
pointed to consider these petitions.
Alderman Oliver said he was sorry he
had not been present.
Alderman McKenna’s motion to "turn
them all down” was not seconded,
and the Mayor put the motion to adopt
the report, which was carried without
a dissenting vote.
heard cases regarding
DISPUTED LAND TITLES.
One Case Settled and Other Will Be
Concluded To-day.
In the United States court yesterday
the case of Ida J. Graves and Minnie
C. Graves against Janies Holmes and
Bolin G. Hall, arising from a dispute
regarding titles to land In Colquitt
county were heard and decision ren
dered by Judge Speer. The case re
lated to three lots, on which the de
fendants were alleged to have boxed
Hie timber, extracted turpentine, and
committed trespasses.
The several deeds which had been
adduced as clouding the titles to the
land were cancelled .and the defend
ant enjoined from further boxing the
timber, tapping the trees for turpen
tine, or trespassing upon the lands.
The costs were placed upon the de
fendants.
By an agreement, reached after the
trial between the parties to the suit,
no appeal is to be taken and In con
sideration of this Holmes will he al
lowed to keep the turpentine that he
has taken and the timber that has al
ready been removed. The complain
ants further agree to allow the S2O de
posit made by them to go upon the
costs in the case.
