London, Dec. 1—Sporting ¥7L0ndon
last night saw a fight that it will not
soon forget. The contestants were Jim-
my Barry, of Chicago, and the Eng-
Iish fighter Young Croots. They met
in the NatiOnal Sporting Club Barry
\baited his man for eighteen’é-rounds.
In the: nineteenth round. heisailed in
c1nd hammered his man all around the
ring.
In the twentieth round Barry knocked
3mots out, and now Croots is lying in'
‘ 1 private room in the clubhouse suffer-
mg from consusslon of the brain, and
Barry and his friends are wondering
whether the young Englishman will die.
The battle was for the bantam— weight
:hampionship of the world. It was post-
ooned from Nov. 15 because ofthe sud-
ien death of Mr. John Fleming, man-
tger of the National Sporting Club.
l‘he clubhouse was crowded. BarI'Y.
who was the favorite in the bet-ting,
sealed at 107 pounds, and Croot at 104.
In the first ten'rounds Barry did most
if the scoring in a thoroughly scientific
:truggle. Then Croots made a. deter-
mined stand, add in the eighteenth
~ound appeared to have equalized mat-
xers. When the nineteenth round opened
Barry immediately forced the work at a
g1eat pace, and finiShed much stronger
chan his opponent. ~
In the twentieth round Barry put in
some excellent drives,
crushing right- -hande'r on Croot’s jaw
knocked him out, when only forty sec-
ands remained to the stipulated limit.
Barry had sufficient in hand to have se-
cured a verdict had the contest gone
the full twenty rounds. The decisive
nanner in which he finished his rivai
stamped him as a dangerous puncher
and also showed that 'he must have
r1ad something up his sleeve through-
out the contest.
PENSION CLAIM REJECTEDJ
- Widow Owned at House and Farm
and Had an Income.
Washington, Dec. 7. —-Assistant Secre—
tary of the Interior Webster Davis, in
an opinion just rendered, enunciated
the policy of this Administration upon
claims for pensions made by Widows
who already have property interests
Ind settled incomes. It was in the case
of Louise VViemerslage, widow of Ber.-
nard Wiemerslage, late of Company D
Fifty—eighth Illinois Infantry. It was
shown by the testimony of this appel-
lant herself, corroborated by that of
other witnesses, that she is the abso-
lute owner of fifty-one acres of valua-_
ble real estate, situated about twelve,
miles from the city of Chicago, worth
at her own valuation $150 per acre,
from which she derives a. net income
of over two thousand dollars. It also
appears that she owns and lives in a
omfortable dwelling house, situated on
her farm, which is worth nearly six
thousand dollars over and above all
debts and incumbrances, and has no
family depending on her except one
daughter, who is over 13 years of age
and is fully able to contribute to her
own support.
"It is clear,” said M1. Davis, ‘fthat
this appellant is not without other
means of Support than her daily labor
within the meaning and intent, of the
provisions of section 3, act of June 27,
1890, as construed by the decisions of
this d'epantznentmand is'not entitled to
:pension thereunder as the " widow or
said deceased soldier. Therefore the
claim is rejected.”
