J i.'orbett has finally announced his in- mention to retire from the ring, adding that he has plenty of money and does not care a rap for anybody. So far, so good. It is an excellent thing for the ring and its patrons. He also announces l\ls return to the stage in company with ais wife. And this is a sad thing for the stage. Just how Corbett expects to make i success in his new venture before the footlights is hard to say. He does not possess sufficient dramatic talent to earn his salt as an actor pure and simple, and the fistic fans are not likely to fall over one another in a wild rush to the box office to see a pugilist whose name has become a synonym for pugilistic crook- edness and double dealing. But by fair means or foul "Gentleman" Jim will always contrive to bask in the limelight, of public- criticism. Notoriety Ib, has always been and always will be the-breath of life to his nostrils, and as long as his hand can hold a pen. or his Toice retain sufficient power to dictate. to a stenographer, Corbett will continue to issue weekly bulletins to the press and inflict hds tiresome personality on a long suffering public. Of a verity the prize ring has known tome curious champions, but there has been but one Corbett. For which small mercy sportsmen at large return devout thanks. •'.•\u25a0•\u25a0• The trouncing of Billy Stif t by . Dick O'Brien In the wind-up of last Tuesday, night's boxing show at Tattersall's, dem- onstrated one of two things. Either Stlft has gone back to a lamentable degree or •tee he wa» very badly off color when be stacked up against the man from I Maine. His bad showing cannot be at- tributed" to poor condition, for if ever a tehter looked fit to battle for a decision otift did when he shaped for action in the Ting. . Judging from , external appearances he was trained to the hour and should have been able to travel the six rounds at top pace. Much to the disappointment of his friends he proved to be both slow and clumsy. He fell all over himself in try- big to evade O'Brien's leads; his Judg- ment of distance would have disgraced a Jiovice In the manly art, and worst of all he showed clearly by his actions that be entertained a wholesome and undigni- fied fear of his opponent. Each time that O'Brien rushed Stlft retreated with all possible speed, holding his shoulder (high to protect the Jaw and covering •very inch of his anatomy that he could possihly shield with his arms and open gloves. \u0084 hen he ventured on a counter hit It was delivered in nervous haste and with- out any accuracy to speak of. Nine time Out of ten his swing's were blocked or curled harmlessly around the Eastern boxer* muscular neck. Only once did he ' succeed in landing that much-talked of right-hand swing- on O'Brien. That, was toward the end of the fourth round, and the punch landed squarely on Dick's Jaw, but although it shook up the latter for an instant it in no way retarded his \u25a0peed and O'Brien was still forcing the fight when the bell rang. ... O'Brien was as corpulent as ever, but. bis. handicap of flesh did not seem to trouble him, and his work was clean-cut •nd fast ' throughout the entire contest; Like Stockings Conroy and. big Ed Dunk- toorst, O'Brien always carries an extra- ordinary amount of fat around his stom- ach, which even vigorous training fails to subdue. But he is by no means sensi- tive in that usually tender region and punches around the wind do not appear to hurt him in the least. On Oct. 16 O'Brien will he given another chance to measure his skill against Jack Root. He says that his last tight with the West- ern middle-weight champion taught him a few things, and that he has a line on the local man's style which will prove of in- finite service to him in the coming en- gagement. \u2666 • • Although Otto Sieloff lost the decision to Dal Hawkins, of California, in the Bcnii-windup of (he night, his reputation did not suffer much In consequence. From the first to the sixth and final round the local lightweight forced the fighting. Rush followed rush In rapid succession, Sieloff hurling his sJnewy frame on his opponent with the fury of an enraged hull. But the experience and generalship gained by many hard-fought battle* in the ring stood Hawkins In good stead, i His defense was excellent, and although now and again one of S:e- lofts savage swings reached his body or head the majority were blocked or went wide of the mark. Yet Sie'.off never \u25a0lowed up for an instant, although he was made receiver, general for. many of those short jarring jolts that Hawkins keeps in stock. He was rushing his man at the. finish with as much vigor as he exhibited at the beginning- of the contest, and showed but little sign of weariness •when the gong rung for a cessation of hostilities. But Hawkins had a decided, margin In his favor, as far as points were concerned, and to him accordingly Referee Siler awarded the verdict Hawkins' famous left hook was not in | evidence *as much as had been expected The fact of the matter was that the Calil fcrnian found himself unable to put his favorite punch into effective use. Sie- loff's methods of warfaVe are so awkward as to puzzle greatly an opponent who meets him for the first time. He wastes no time in sparring or feinting for an opening, but rushes in headlong, slashing away with both hands in every direction. He can hit like a pile driver, and is prob- ably one of ;the strongest men In* the lightweight division. A twenty-round bout between Hawkins and Sieloff would be an event well worth witnessing. • • • Tommy Ryan, of Syracuse, is preserv- ing- a strangle and ominous calm of late. This is an Hnusual departure for Ryan, who is usually to the fore in the news- paper wars conducted between the stars of pugdom. It may be that the artful one it, laying low and preparing to spring pome unlooked-for sensation on his friends and foes. With Kid McCoy, the ancient and bitter rival of Ryan, on deck for business again, it seems odd that Ryan can stay in his shell and refrain from abusine the wily Hoos:er pugilist. At any rate this grate- ful silence on Ryan's part is too good to last long, and when he does start his challenging mill up again he can be de- pended upon to make up for lost time. it is worth noting, by the way, that nothing came of the recent controversy between Ryan and the manager of "Rube" Ferns, the present ho'.der of the welterweight championship title. About a month ago Ryan Issued a statement in which he averred that Ferns had no right to the title, as he (Ryan) could still make the weight for that class, and was the "THE BALLOON FIGHT WAS A CINCH FOR JEFF." undisputed monarch of the welters. Ferns' manager at once took umbrage at Ryan's declaration, and offered to pit his man against the Syracusan for a contest at 142 pounds. Ferns can obtain substan- tlaJ backing against any one in the wel- terweight division, but, although the challenge was made In good faith, Ryan preferred to take no further notice of the Kansas Rube and his manager, for the very good and sufficient reason that Tommy Is fuliy aware that he could not train to 142 pounds and be strong enough to hurt a child. There was a time when Ryan could make the welterweight limit and do him- self justice in a ring. And he was then unquestionably the king pin of his class. But It Is another story now, and if Ryan wishes to add fresh laurels to his fistic record he will have to seek them in the ranks of the middleweights, where he rightly belongs. • • • "Great credit is due to Lou Houseman for the big boxing show he conducted in Chicago recently in behalf of the suf- ferers at Galvesttm. It was his own idea, and he carried it to a successful ending, over $1,500 being realized for the home- less Southerners. I have had my differ- ences with Houseman, but I am not b'g- oted enough to refuse a man credit when he does a deserving deed. "Houseman has built himself an undy- ing fame in fist:c circles by his actions In behalf of the poor of Galveston, and the man who would refuse him his meed of credit for his glorious act must be biased Indeed.

While I am dodging the palm leaf fans, the omelets soufle, jacque roses and things, I pause long enough to cry, "Stay your kidding!" The writer of the bonbon quoted above is awry on a few essential facts. Accu- racy in journalism is everything. Accu- racy with the writer of the soppy stuff printed at the head of this column Is as alien as table etiquette is to an Ogal- lalla Sioux. The benefit for the Texas sufferers was conceived of, executed and brought about by Mr. Hearst's Chicago American, with Mr. A. H. C. Mitchell, of that paper's sporting staff, as director. "I " have had my differences with Houseman, but I am not bigoted enough to refuse credit when he does a deserv- ing deed." Now, this Is a long story. The writer's differences with me date back to a fight carnival brought off at Dubnque a little better than a year ago, and after sign- ing his man to meet Root, and drawing $100 to train on, refused to bring ids man against the middleweight champion un- less the money was split and a moneyed guarantee posted with him to bind a promise not to knock Byers out Of course the match fell through.

Every one was there; all the Inhabitants of the town; a bunch of sporting men; an army of tinhorn sports, the sporty lad in the striped sweater whose brother-in-law once thook hancis with John L. Sullivan less than two months before he lost the championship; and then there was the usual old squir- rel-faced geezer with Wool Trust chin whiskers and a rush of teeth to the mouth, who has seen "East l>ynne" and "Uncle Tom's Cabin" every time they have visited Elizabeth, N. J., since 18G3. It was a catch-weight push If ever 1 saw one. The first few minutes of the show didn't seem to work the crowd up much. It was "THERE'S TOM SHARKEY." mainly a minstrel show bunch of comic opera cowboys trying to talk sense. JEFF AS SHERIFF. Then Jeff came on and the crowd cut loose and drove him to the ropes with applause. He nodded and grinned *a I've watched him do tTviee when he's come into the ring and I was siUir.g in the other corner sizing him up. He came in on horseback. He must weigh 230.

Then there's a whole blue stack of "Stand-back-Jim-Bludso" and "Rags-are- royal-raiment" sentments. that set the gallery as wild as the $2 ticket holders when Charley White reaches ''Seyeti— eight—nine." There's a villain who -puts np a pretiy' good plot and has Jeff groggy once- or twice. But Jeff's weight and rea^a and Staying powers are too much Lor him in a long fight. Not that the villain wasn't a willing performer, out he was di.ipose-1 t\u25a0> crowd and foul, and that got him into trouble on the stretch. He made a tiancly start, but got pocketed at the three quar- ters and finished with the also fans. He wasn't as pretty as he hai on'-e been by the time Jeff got back at him, but he knew a lot more. Jeff plays the part of Silent Sam King, sheriff of Three Forks county, Montana. He is an elegant sheriff, and can fire six shooters and sentiments at the same time, and make the bell ring six shots out of five. It was the villains who quit. One of them got knocked clear through the ropes and fell among the boxes. At least he fell among them, if there happened j to be any boxea in the section of the landscape just under that balloon. As j the balloon was by that time a mile or so j in air, the fall must have jarred the poor j villain worse than having your hump- j backed wife's millionaire father fall in- business the week after the wedding. JEFFS SOARS HEAVENWARD. Then Jeff and the balloon disappear among the clouds, like the guy in "The Great Ruby." and the last you see of him in that act he's bound for heaven at the rate of nine miles a minute.

Oct o.—The Cad, ridden by his owner, Mr. Smith, won the Cham- pion steeplechase at Morris Park today over the trying distance of three miles and a half. This fixture was the feature of the day's racing, and It resulted in one of the most stirring struggles of the sea- son through the field. Seven horses faced the starter in the Champion steeple- chaise, 'the Cad being added at the last minute. It was a coveted stake, for out- side of the honor of winning it it had an even money value of $9,000, $6,000 of which was subscribed by gentlemen interested in steeplechasing. Plato was a hot favor- ite at 6 >to 5, while The Bachelor was also supported at 2to 1. The others were all held at 15 to 1. They were sent off on the first break, and the field, led by Plato, ran closely bunched for two miles. All fenced perfectly, and as chey passed I the grand stand the second time every [ horse seemed to have equal chances of I winning. The crowd showed their ap- I preciation by breaking into applause as I they cleared the water jump. Going up the back stretch 'the last time, Mr. Smith, who was second on Cad, sent his mount to the front. First one and then another tried to get up, buit he cajne to tho last jump a length and a half before Plato. Both cleared the obstacle in safety, and an exciting drive to the wire followed, in which Mr. Smith showed his skill, landing his mount a clever winner by a scant half length. Perion closed fast and was third, four lengths behind Plato. The others straggled in, not a single fall hav- ing occurred to mar the race. Game little Bellario won the Nursery handicap. He made most of the running and won ridden out by a length from Water Co^or, who beat Beau Gallant a head for the place. The latter was clos- ing like a whirlwind, and but for some intereference might have repeated his victory in the Matron stakes. He ran in the colors of Sena/tor P. H. McCarrcn, who bought him Just before the race! Oneck Queen, an outsider, won the Hun- ter handicap, beating the favorite, Kllla- shandra by three parts of a length. The others winners were Rush at 9 to 5; Rolling Bear, at 6 to 2. and Kinnikinnic at 6 to 1. McCue took the jockey honors with two winning mounts, Oneck Queen and Kinnikinnic while Hemy :ode Bellanio, the winner of the Nursery handicap. Results: First race, five furlongs—Rush won, EIGHT ITOHXCIS TO A TIE. But Jeff's as handy in a six-foot car as he is in a twenty-foot ring. There was no "atand-off" sparring. Before the ballon had even started off from old terra flrma there was some- thing doing. There would be with that mixed four- some all about one little car. It was like putting an armful of angry cats in a tin ash barrel and then soldiers down the lid. Something had to give way. Exciting Game Played at Lexington In spite of the raw and threatening weather, the Lennon and Gibbons teams played a close and exciting game at Lex- ington park yesterday afternoon. Owing to the soaking the ground received in the morning play was not bepun until 4 o'clock, and when darkness compelled the calling of the game a*t the close of the eighth inr.ring the score was 4 to 4. Both pitchers were in good form In spite of the cold, the clouds helping them as much as the cold cost them. It was nip and tuck throughout. The Wasecans gained a email lead m the first, but it was never more than a run till the eighth, and the locals closed the gap th«?n. The score: Lennon & Gibbons. AB.R. H.PO. A.

Mark Twain's cure for a cold In the head was simple, but he claims very effective In his own 'case; his plan was to eat noth- ing whatever for twenty-four hours or presumably until the trouble had dis- appeared. . Although not able to speak ftorn per- sonal experience as to the euc-L'tlvenoj»a of this treatment, it certainly has the merit of extreme; economy, but it occurs to us that the application of ii to a ease of nasal catarrh might be attended with difficluties. " . Catarrh, as everyone knows, is a chron- ic cold in the head and Mr. Twain's treat- ment, if it .should become a fad, would make of us a nation of fasten*; an army, emulating the example of the immortal Tanner, who achieved world-wide fame by fasting forty days. Catarrh is certainly. becoming a na- tional disease and there is little doubt but that errors in diet, particularly o'er eating is a/very common cause. Most people, however, are .more inter- ested in the cure of the trouble than In the cause, and modern medical science has produced more effective and less heroic remedies than Mr. Twain's. Guaiacol is anew remedy, very effective in some "forms of Catarrh. -Eucalyptol. is another which on account of Its ;nti- septic properties is very valuable, while [ many severe cases of '. Chronic Cataarb have; been entirely cured by the san- guinaria or extract of Blood root alone. Within a year an enterprising chemist has combined , all of these remedies In tablet form, . palatable and convenient and the superiority of this tablet over other catarrh remedies Is so apparent that ; all druggists now carry them in *lock to supply tfie popular demand, They are called. Stuart's Catarrh Tab- lets, and it Is doubtful if any medicine has achieved a national popularity in so short a time jas this. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are used by thousands. of traveling men because *ney can be' carried lin the pocket and used any time and.in any quanlty. being free" : from ' Cocaine, opiate or any poisonous drug. r .-': They clear the head and throat from the disgusting secretions' of catarrh, /cry often in a few hours time. For nasal Catarrh they are far superior;- to any : wash, - lotion. or ointment, the use of .which; If ; often as inconvenient, and annoying as the disease!\u25a0 Itself. For . coughs, colds, bronchial . catarrh and catarrh of the stomach, these tablets : give ; immediate relief;. and • a -permanent "of which is \u25a0 often as Inconvenient and make no impression .whatever. This preparation :Us a •'. boon to , catarrh sufferers and any : druggist - will tell jou cure, where lotions douches,and Inhaler* that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is a remedy : that; has come to stay. r!r ; «^ • ' i \ \• / « , \\ \\\ AY/ \u25a0 ; [ \\ 1 \ \ J v V / : \u25a0^wro//: .! it? / / .
