CERTAIN LUCKY oMENs

CERTAIN LUCKY oMENS.
The question was asked an old race-goer re-
Gently, but he denied altogether that they were
superstitious. He said, Backing horses in a
race is all game of chance. You may have
the very best horse in the race and may back
him heavily, but through some mishap, such
as the horse being pocketed, or slipping his
bride, he may be beaten. Now these mishaps
make the chance in the game, and there are
certain signs that all the race-goers believe in
that tell in when to back a certain horse and
when to let him run without carrying any
money. Why, my dear boy would no more
think of backing a horse that these signs and
omens said would not win than would at
tempt to fly"
"How is it then that you don't always win?
Are the signs sometimes wrong?"
"Never. The signs are always right, but we
don't always read them correctly, and even
when we do we sometimes think we know best
Then we have to suffer for our conceits."

ton among turfmen, who are perhaps the
most superstitious of all gamblers. Every
time Anderson or Garrison dismounts from
their horses at the post an army of men try to
get another bet on. The dismounting is termed
putting on the cinch.
This superstition was started at Gravesend

flly Fides in handicap sweepstakes race. The
betting against Fides was to |. While at the
post Juggler, another horse starting in the

threw HIM off Fides. Anderson tainted. When
he recovered he remouDted Fides and rode her
to victory. The superstitious bore this in mind.
Two days later Anderson rode Joe Lee in
handicap sweepstakes. At the post he dis

backed Joe Lee. He won and they were happy

League; in fact think THE DISPATCH was
one of the first, if not the frst papers to sug-
gest a renl business meeting between repre-
sentatives of the two bodies. This suggestion
was made before Mr.. Ward and the Spalding
tourists had returned from their trip. But
along with the suggestion it was also pointed
out that any difficulties existing against the
players must go to the end of the season ex-
cept all civil law, moral obligations and base
ball rules were ignored. Well, from that time
right up until now one writer after anotner
is stating to the world that the players are go
ing to strike il they don't get what they want
OF course it is meant that the strike will take
place at once. Nothing can be more stupid than
this, and no notion can be more foolish. what
will they strike fort Against terms that every
one of them have agreed to for yearf The
thing is ridiculous to think of, and can never
believe that a man like Mr.. Ward would ever
dream of such an absurdity until he actually
declares in its favor. The Brotherhood can
only exist by recognizing not only baseball Law,
but other public laws and surely its members
are not so devoid of common sense as to Kill
their own organization in such stupid way.
About the Great Battle.
Tomorrow week will be an eventful day II
the predictions and expectations are fulfilled
regarding the Sullivan-Kilrain battle. 1t is to
be the greatest pugilistic event of modern
times If some authorities speak the truth; at
any rate from to-day until the affair is over the
proposed battle will be the general theme of
conversation among all sorts and conditions of
men. This fact will force all of us who write
about sporting matters to deal somewhat ex-
tensively with the matter this week.
1t is only fair now to assume that both parties
mean to have the fight take place. 1
say parties because l firmly believe that
the two principals have all along been
desirous of fighting. However, it is true
that man proposes and some other power dis
poses. This reminds us that there are still
some arrangements to be made that in trying
to complete them the entire affair may col
lapse. Two of the most important features are
still unsettled, VIZ, the battle ground and the
referee. The parties may be quite satisfied
with the location. but the powers that be may
not be disposed TO allow the fight Each party
may want its own referee and nave none other,
and this would end it. We all know how Mace
and Coburn got to the battle ground in Ireland
and how miserably the affair ended or COL
lapsed. There are many other instances on
record which reasonably enough prompt every
one of us who know anything about pugilistic
affairs to say battle is never certain until its
over. The stakes at issue are really SO big to
risk in prize ring that hitch may occur at
any stage. However, l cannot do other than
believe the statements of both parties, and
these statements are emphatically to the effect
that the fight will take place.

In answer to many correspondents and to stop
any further inquiries on the subject now give
a few facts about Sullivan and Kilrain. John L.
Sullivan was born of Irish parents, in the High
lands, Boston, October Is, 1855. He is 5 feet 1Ok
inches tall, and, it is claimed. can fight best at
ls5 pounds. In condition his physical measure
ments are: Chest, A inches; biceps. 164 inches;
calf, 15k inches; thigh, q inches. He began to
spar in 1879. Jake kilrain's right name is Joseph
John kilion but his name was cnanged to Kill
rain by the boys with whom he played in school
days, and IL has remained kilrain ever since. He
was born at Greenport, Columbia county, N. Y.
February 9, 1859. He had no regular occupation,
save that Of teaching boxing and training
athletes. When youth he worked in 8 rolling
mill at Somerville Mass. He is feet l0x inches
high, and fights at 100 pounds. His chest is Il
inches; bceps, l6iuches; forearm IA inches; waist,
wears a No. 9 shoe and No. glove, and it takesa
IL inch collar to encircle his neck.

also say that it is very difficult question to an
swer. and / will endeavor to point out why it is.
In estimating the comparative abilities of the
two men we could soon come to a conclusion
had Sullivan not had broken-down period in
his career. The truth is his temperance in
the ring is something akin to that of compare
lively unknown man. We know what he was
before his illness and dissipation, but we have
little or no idea Of his stamina or power now
that belongs to a test. However, if Sullivan is
in anything like his old form, have no hesita-
tion IN saying he will defeat Kilrain. Muldoon
assures US that Sullivan was never in better
condition in his life. l don't believe
the statement by any means, and besides
1 am disposed to think that Muldoon, the
wrestler, knows very little, indeed, about prize
fighting or preparing man to take part in a
battle. Sullivan, of course, may be as good as
he ever was, but / won't believe it until it is
clearly demonstrated to the public. However,
as | said a week or so ago, Sullivan need not be
at his best to defeat Kilrain, and in coming to
this conclusion have been careful to examine
the records of both men as pugilists. There is,
indeed, a remarkable contrast between the
records of each man. In one we find where a
pugilist in his extraordinary power simply
knocked opponents senseless as if he was using
a blacksmiths hammer. that was Sullivan
when he was Sullivan. In the other we meet with
man who at once strikes us tame, and who in
his contests invariably made draw with very
inferior men; men whom Sullivan would have
finished in ten minutes. i am not going
beyond the records in stating this. Kill
rain certainly did have q few good hammer
and-tongs battles when he worked in the mill
at Somerville, Mass, but his professional record
has been a very tame one indeed. He fought
draw with a man like Jim Goode and even with
Mike Cleary. George Fryor, the Englishman,
also made q draw with him. 1t took him IL
rounds to defeat a slow man like Joe Lannon,
when Sullivan at his best would have settled
him in four. Thus might 90 on reciting tame
affairs, or at least second-rate affairs. On the
other hand, Sullivan pever made draw if the
police old not interfere and his opponents did
not lie down. According TO these records,
Sullivan should be an easy winner, but there
are other things to consider.

Their Two Big Battles.

To more correctly judge of the respective
merits of Sullivan and Kilrain it would be well
to compare their work in France. If we do
tn it will be found that in 24-foot prize ring
Sullivan's superiority over Kilrain is greatly
comprised. Not that Kilrain is or at least
has shown himself to be first class as ring tact
lean. His encounter with Jem Smith WAS a verit-
able buresque, but am free to admit that Sulli-
vans performance against Mitchell everything
Monday week displays no better Judgment and is
not in better condition than when he met Mitchell
he will be beaten if he fights Kilrain. The
latter's burlesque with smith was lust
as sincere as far fighting is con-
was. But kilrain was in much better condition
vinces that Sullivan lacks that patience neces-
sary to pull man victoriousy through in long
pri re fight. Muldoon, his trainer. says that the
hight will be long one. If this is true, so much
the worse for Sullivan. because in all his encoun-
ters he has shown disposition to weaken if he
failed to settle opponent in the first few rounds.
winner is this: That, judging from the probable
condition of each man, and Sullivan's S last per-
formance in a 4-foot ring, think the indications
favorable fer Kirain. 1 shall have more TO say
before next Monday, and may know more the
condition of the principals, on which:everything
seems to hang. Personally would not invest q
cent on the affair without saw the men, particu-
larly Sullivan.
