Not less than twenty time* i.i 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. Font Still I.cuds. Pari*, March 30. —Wilson P.

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 b brought In the colored attorney 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 havlor Moore's term can be consider ably shortened. city to'seLlTand.

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 will play her first game to-inorrow 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: ""royal foot WASH " m -1 lhorn tworii odor, of WOBgi FT) MH O H M>blOHlti root artnidt*. i mm*i <lm *.( Air !'

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. BASEBALL.

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. Immediately upon the conclusion of this case that of Jennie L. Graves and others against H. T. Crawford, and others, was taken up. This ease altio involves land in Colquitt county. Mr. Callaway, in speaking for tho plain tiffs, charged that a state of practical anarchy existed in Colquitt county, and further claimed that the grossest frauds were being perpetrated in that county. Mr. Callaway spoke for al most an hour and then court adjourn ed. He will speak an hour longer this morning, after which three hours will he allowed the other side. This case will consume practically the entire time of tho court to-day.
