from the engine room and threw It

waa magical. We lowered the boat

wo heard a shout from Gray. Two. of

which kept tho boat alongside. Gray
who was fending her from tho ship
with tho boat hook Jabbed ono fel-
low in tho face with-It but ho was
too late. The boat raced off into tho
darkness. And hero we are!"
That Chrlstobal loft several things
unsaid Elslo knew quite well. It
dawned on tho girl that both her elder-
ly friend and she herself wore accept-
ing an extraordinary situation with re-
markable nonchalance.
"How many of us remain on tho
ship?" sho naked
"Very few on tho effective list. The
captain an engineer whose namo I do
not know Mr. Tollemacho and our-
Bclves make up the total."
"Where Is Mr. Boyle?"
"Ah poor Boyle! I fear ho is done
for. Ho is very badly wounded. 1
bandaged him as well as I could but
the call on deck was Imperative."
"Is he in 'the salon? Should wo not
go to him?"
"I have only Just left him. The
hemorrhage has stopped and I gave
bim some brandy. Believe me we can
do nothing more for him. I told
Oourtenay It was quite-useless to place
bim on board the boat You may bo
sure ho was not forgotten."
i "I did not lmaglno that any ono
. would be forgotten" said Elsfo and
i for some reason (ho light in her eyes
' caused Chrlstobal to go on rapidly:
"We have a whole crawd of Injured
men on board Miss Maxwell. At prcs-
i ent wo can render them no aid. I
thought It wisest to obey orders. Tho
I captain told mo to bring you some
wine and remain with you here. It
J will not be for.long."
I "Why do you say that?"
"Tho ship appears to bo lodged hard
it nnd fast on a reef or sand spit I am
i told tho lido Is rising if that is so.
our only hope is in tho raft which our
three allies are now constructing. With
a falling tide wo might have a breath-
ing space at (ow water. As It is.
well"
Ho was interrupted by tho opening
of tho door and tho consequent roar tit
tho gale. It was Walker tho engi-
neer a lank swarthy man with a long
black mustacho which drooped for-
lornly down tho sides of his mouth.
Ho shouted with tho lnJmltablo accent
of Tyneslde:
"Yo wanted. Docto Ghwistobal. Tho
captain thinks Mr. Boylo is bettaw."
"May I come too?" asked Elsie.
"No misslo. You bldo hefaw."
"Please tell mo before you go if tho
ship is full of water."
"Sho'B dwy as n bono" said talker.
A sea splashed over him and sent a
shower into tho cabin "a vowy wet
bone" bo added with a broad grin
for tho Northumbrian had a ready wit
though he bad such a solemn Jowl
and he could not pronounce an "r" to
save his life.
So Elsio was loft with Joey tor com-

Latest SpQrting JSTftia I
Last week was attended by many
events of Interest in tho world of
spqrts events which were looked for-
ward to with a great deal ot antici-
pation and which wcro settled in a
manner wllleh shows Just how uncer-
tain the dope sheet can be and how
dangerous it Is tp back it.
Tho first surprise of tho week was
tho rather easy timo that Bill Papko
had with Hugo Kelly past master at
tho fighting game. I bejleve that near-
ly all of the sporting writers and au-
thorities In tho country conceded this
fight to Kelly partly on account of
his great reputation ad a scientific
sparrer and partly on nccount of tho
good showing he made ngainst the
"Illinois thunderbolt" on their recent
meeting after Hugo had retired from
tho ring. But in his last appearance
Kelly showed nono of that champion-.
ship callbro so long his. True ho was
still fast on his foot but he used his
pedal swiftness mostly in avoiding tho
rushes of tho husky Papko and to run
ning away from the fighting. No
knockout was recorded but tho fight
was Papko s throughout except In a
few rounds and ho was clearly enti-
tled to tho .decision. In a few ot the
early rounds Kelly showed streaks of'
his former greatness. He blocked nd
Sparred in masterly style showing
up the crudo style of his opponent in
a ridiculous fashion but after ho in-
advertantly ran Into ono of Papko's
'nmous body punches he concluded
after all that he' was needed elsewhere
This Papko looks to bo a comer all
right and ho should not be snubbed
unmecifhlly if he gets chesty and says
that he is middle weight champion
Ho is a great boy and can hold his
own with any middle weight light in
the country with the possible excep
tion of Stanley Ketchell the Montana
cowboy. Here Papke if be ever tries
his luck with this boy will probably
come to grief. In Ketchell he will
meet a man as heavy as himself as
young as strong as game a better
boxer and worlds faster and as bard
a hitter. The combination is almost
sure to be too much for Bill But we
will get a chance to see these two mid-
dles in action before long They aro
the only claimants left' in their divi-
sion since tho retirement of the peer-
less Tommy Ryan nnd with tho pugil-
istic game picking up as it has been
during the present year we are al-
most certain to witness a bout between
Papke and Ketchell In the near future.
All the old lights Ryan Mike Hwin
Sullivan .Hugo Kelly are out ot it
now and the field is left to these two
husky youngsters. Sic 'em boys!
Joe Gans showed a few nights ago
that ho' could still deliver the gools
when he knocked out Spike Robeson
in tho third round of what was to
have been a six round go. Robeson is
a good one and got a decision over
Abe Attell 'once and many eastern
sports thought him capable of giving
the negro champion a warm argument
Gans however was clearly the mas-
ter of tho white fighter at alj stages;
merely amused himself by toying" with
Robeson for a couple of rounds and
then when he saw fit whlped In
his famous right which did the busi
ness. This negro ts a uemon nnu mere
seems to bo no one in the light weight enco of Jimmy Britt he has bver-
class who can Btop him. Gans says matched himself. Some day perhaps
that 'Packy McFarland is tho coming
lightweight champion of the world. Of
course "every man for his own coun-
try" Is all rlghtr but In thiB prediction

predictions concerning thot futuro of
Memslc. As everyone knows the self
named "Jimmy Burns" proved a frosty
lemon. Anybody can whip bim now.

battles ho can tako more punishment

with his oyes closed and tongue hang-
in out and still be game than any
fighter in the business. It la in this
ebndltlon that Britt Js most dangerous.
Ho noyor ceases' to think iwhen his
head comes over bis opponents shoul
der In a clinch there is a look of
obstractlon In his faco that shows
him to be In a brown study. In his se-
cond fight with Nelson when he was
practically a beaten man Britt did
a llttlo thinking stunt that nrotty
pear turned tho tide of battle in his
favor In tho Jast part of tho fight
when Nelson was getting in all softs
of punches Britt suddoaJy dropped his
guard hung his head halt sunk to
his knees and looked on the point of
ytter collapse When tho eager Nel-
son sailed in dropping caution to the

ponent Is rated as a "dub" there Jas
Edwards Is liablo to -go to stalling
and running away. You can nover
tell. 'Britt will bear watching all tho
time.
W. W. Naughton says that Abo At-
tcl should have been given the de
cision over' Nelson In their mix-up on
Tuesday- night. Now what do you
know about that?" Such-n statement
seems strange coming from Naughton
when It is known that Attel could not
haye lasted another round. Nelson had
bim whipped from the tenth on. Of
course the Jew polished tho Dane off
handsomely in the early rounds that
was expected. But what Nelson did to
Attel in the tenth and on through tho
fifteenth rounds was 'a plenty. Press
reports said that all that saved Attel
was stalling. Dqes that look as though
he ought to have received the decision?
While Battling had an immense ad-
vantage in that fight on account ot
superior weight I think he showed to
the sporting world that he is not one
of the also-rans by any means and
must still be considered a factor In
thoipuglllstlc world.
This Boer Unholz is another boy
who will bear watching. He is a fighter
of the Nelson "type and has not lost a
battle Blnce coming to this country.
He has a decision over his prototype
Nelson and how ho did mop up the
eath with Memslc! Seyeral good boys
are camping on the Boer's trail Just
now but that worthy has his eyes on
Qans and says he will not rest content
until he has shown that a white man
can whip a nigger. Laudable ambition
that but an unfortunate one. Unholz
cannot whip Gans; neither is he better
than Britt 'Ho may putpunch Battling
Nelson in a rough hnd tumble mill
but when he essaysto put his bull-
like strength and ability to stand a
milling against tho Napoleanic cun
nlng of Joe Gans or the educated scl
Boer unholz will be champion. There
will como a time not very long hence
wheal it ho trains fajthfUly and lets
the rosy path alone he will be ablo
to make mince meat out of Britt "and
mayhap outgame the negro but tho
dny Is not yet.
Among tho heavies Tommy Burns Is
still king. Tho pugnacious little Can-
adian has whipped everything In Bight
excopt Jack Johnson and ho wil soon
demonstrate that he can also stop tho
nigger. There was once" a time when
Burns could not handle Johnson and
he know It and wlsoly refrained from
trying but that timo Is happily past.

But everyone says Hackenschmldt will

Here's guessing ho took the measure
of the "Russian Lion" in easy fashion
The greatest billiard match of the
year was concluded "Wednesday pight
at Phllldelphia and a new champion
came into his own. Willie Hoppe the
boy student in the most brilliant
match of his career took the measure
of Jake Schaefer holder of the 18.2
championship in decisive fashion. The
match was for 2400 points for tho 18.2
balk-line championship of tho world
and Hoppe ran out while the Wizard
was making 1196. Hoppe mado 400
nolnts to Schaefer's 125 in the last
game of tne matcn xno youngsier
averaged 100 for the match while tho
veteran could do no better than 45.
Hoppe now says he will go'aftcr Geo.
Sutton for the 18.1 championship and
if he exhibits the same form in this
match as he did in the other ho bids
fair to take off that title also. In that
event he v4ll hold the two titles at one
time a precedent In the later annals
of tho billiard game. '
