was walking on air for the rest of the
evening. When Killen first asked Kel-
liner to get HIM in shape for the mill
the latter laid down the conditions upon
which he would do it.
IF J. train you, Pat" he said, ''you
must take the pledge, work like dray
horse and obey my instructions to the
letter"
Killen accepted the conditions, swore
off for six months, walked out to Fort
Smelling and stayed there. Keliiher
watched his man like cat watches a
mouse. He had to run five miles before
breakfast, punch the bag for an hour,
work with the dumb bells for,half an
honr, and spar an hour before dinner
Then he had nap. and in the evening
run to st. Paul and back. 1t was
the hardest course of sprouts that
Killen ever went through, but it was
just what he wanted. This sort of
thing went on for five weeks, and when
ON Saturday night Kelliher put his man
into the ring, ne had no cause to blush
for the result. The big fellow was in
shape to fight the battle of his life, and
he owed much of it to Kelliher's con-
scientious work. While devoting his
time and attention to training Killen,
Kelliher himself got into first-class con-
dition, and he proposes to keep there.
He has two or three fights on the string,
and there are hundreds OF people in st.
Paul whose money he will carry into
the ring with him.

A SECRET, LETTER.
Extracts From the Revolutionary
Circular Issued by Rruueu

ExtraCtS from the Revolutionary
Circular Issued by Bruneu.
NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-Al johnson has
started in to carry out his scheme to get
even with the league because it will not
come down On its knees and make good
nearly every cent he has expended in
trying to kill it. Brunell is trying to
STIR up the players. Tim Keefe received
letter from him the other day. 1t was
a copy of the circular spoken of by the
GLOBE recently. 1t is marked Private
and cOnfidentiaf' and Is signed by both
Johnson and Brunell. They say:
We have lot been idle, but have quietly
succeeded In enlisting financial support for
the purpose of building up a new league out

treaehery OF some of our capitalists. Al
ready we have advances of the necessary
money and cities to reorganiZe the league.

Keefe is therefore earnestly i'm
plored to throw overheard his chances

league at reduced salary, and state
the amount at which he will be willing
to play with the Players league for the
season of 1891. They add:
We are encouraged to this request from the
TACT that some seventeen players have written
to us within the last ten days Offering to sup
NIT to p large cut in salary if it would enable
the Players league to continue in business.
More than a dozen picked men from
the minor leagues are already
signed or willing to sign with our or
ganization. Let us have your views and fig
ures at once. Everything depends upon
them. Please regard this COMMUNICATION as
strictly private and confidential, as were the
proceedings of our organization meetings

SPORT IN MINNEAPOLIS.
What Is Being Done in AL
Branches of Athletics.


The sporting event which now mon
opolizes public attention is the benefit
entertainment which will occur at the
rooms of the Twin City Athletic club
next Tuesday night. The club has done
good deal. and will do more if prop
erly supported, to foster legitimate
sport in the Northwest. Its friends
can do no better than give it little as
sistance. Tuesday night the public
will be allowed 10 attend, and should
any of them desire afterward to join the
club the price paid for tickets will
be deducted from the regular club adj
mission fee. Considering the enter
tainment offered, the price of tickets is
|. unusually low. Nothing equal to the
programme arranged has ever been Of
fered to patrons of sport i'll the North
west.
The opening contest will be glove
contest between Jimmy Griffin, of Min
neapolis, and Charley Johnson, of st.
Paul, both well-known lightweights.
Griffin is anxious to dissipate the
shadow cast upon his reputation by
Dick Moore, and johnson desires
to add to his reputation by
besting Griffin, well known to be hard
| man to beat when weights are any
where near equal. This contest will
begin promptly s at o'clock. Following
that will come five-round boxing
match between the two most skilIful
boxers in Minneapolis for a diamond
badge and the amateur championship
of the Northwest.
The third event will be the contest
between John Van Heest, of Ashland,
and Tommy Hogan, of st. Paul, feather
weights. They will box at 121 pounds,
and rafting ''go'' is expected. Van
Heest has won many hard battles, and
all against men much heavier than him.
self. The lighteSt man he ever met was
Tommy Warren, whom he whipped in
eleven rounds, SO he must be a pretty
good little man. Hogan is clever
boxer, and hard hitter. His friends
il St. Paul believe him almost invincl-
bic. He will have the advantage of
Van Heest in height and reach, but the
weights will be about even. This con-
test bids fair to be the event of the year
IN Northwest sporting circles. Police
Gazette rules will govern all contests.
There will be minor events between
the important matches.
Joe Sheehy, the Hurley man eater,
has not endeared himself TO Minneapo-
lis sports by his fight of Friday night.
He never had many friends in the Flour
City, and now he has none. While Pat
Kilten's Minneapolis followers do not
number more than million. he is 100

antagonist. Ever since his advent in

PAUCITY OF RIDERS.
Jockeys Reported Very Scarce in
the East,


On account of the scarcity of Jockeys
at the present time several owners who
now quartered at the winter tracks have
signifed their intention to retire their
SteedS until riders become more nnmer-
Gus, says the Sporting World. With 4
few exceptions, the boys who figure as
star Jockeys at the Jersey courses are
not on par in ability with the aveage
exercise rider of few years ago.
As the owners are forced to employ
such material as can be obtained. or
keep their horses IN the stable, they
ride The Jockeys of the present day.
They are becoming dreadfully tired,
however, of starting horses with inca
pablo boys on their backs, and viii
more than likely retire their stables,
unless change for the better is brought
about in the near future.
Many OF these jockeys make ae en-
gagement to ride without the slightest
Intention of keeping them, and conse-
Quently they force owners and trainers

but what dozens of owners find fault,
with the best of reasons.
The officers of the association should
take this matter of jockeys in hand at
once and post list of names of boys
eligible to engage. Once an owner en-
cages rider, which should be done the
day preceding the lace, the secretary
should be notified and the boy com
PEELED to live up to it, except in case Of
illness. If an owner desires to ride one
OF his own stable boys he should be al
lowed to do so if he posts notice
twenty-four hours beforehand.
Every effort should be made to en-
courage new Jockeys to enter the field,
and races for green riders. if necessary,
should be given at stated periods. Train
erS should make it their business to re-
port to the officers Of the clubs jockeys
who fail to keep engagements. and also
those who refuse to accept mounts but
afterward make engagements to ride
other horses for owners who have no
call upon them.

Sport Campana and Guerrero chat
they will be on hand and in good trim
to battle for first place. 1t need be
nothing surprising if new worlds rec
ord is made at this match. Gus Guerrero,
who ran second to George LittlewoOd,
making 621 miles, when the latter estab-
lished the worlds record at 623 miles in
142 hours, writes MIR. O'Neal that he
feels fully able to beat his former per-

''peds," the manager has received
stacks of letters from Northwestern
amateurs who are anxious to go into a
long-distance race.

At the conclusion of last evenings
entertainment at the Pence. the fencing
bout with fOils between "Major" Nc
Guire, of New York city. and Frank
Lewis, the we'll known athlete of this
city, took place. The stakes were $50 a
side, and Manager Hilton had offered
the contestants purse of $50 to fence
on the stage of his theater. Stage Man
ager Lanphear held the watch. and
George Kent was chosen referee. Lewis
wore green tights and the major black
ones with yellow sash jauntily tied
about his waist. Both men were of
course dressed in white shirts. Time
keeper l4anphear announced that the
match would consist of ten tWo-minute
bouts. 8
As the swordsmen faced each other
and took their positions they made a
pretty tableau. Lewis looked very
serious, while MeGuire's face wore a
smile. The fencing was interesting

CHOYNSKI WINS.
His Long Reach Gives Him the
Fight With Fogarty.

Fight With Fogarty.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 20.-Australian
advices received to-day give full details
of the fight between Joe Choynski and
Jim Fogarty in Sydney, Nov. a..
Choynski handled the Australian about
as he pleased during the whole ten
rounds. He had the advantage in
height and reach and kept Fogarty
away from him most of the time.
After the first few rounds had been
fought Fogarty seemed to be nettled
by his inability to punish the
Californian, and made several savage
attacks, which Choynski warded off
with ease. In the sixth and seventh
Fogarty was pounded on the face and
body and began to show the effects of
his punishment. In the two following
rounds Fogarty continued to receive all
the punishment, though ne failed to go
down under Cboynskl'S blows until the
tenth round, when he went Gown On his
knees from light tap. Choynski had
him hanging on the ropes several times,
however, and at the close of the tenth
round Fogarty gave up the fight.

will make the through circuit, taking in
the greatest meetings of the year, his
horses Rfmini and Polemus being en-

season of 1891. Mr.. Foster may well be
proud of his short career on the turf.

one horse, and practically unknown, be

inen, and st. Paul should feel honored
for the reputation that has come to 1t

AN ITCHING FOR FLYERS
Said to Have Struck One of
GOuId's Sons

The rumor that Jay Gould's youngest
son is anxious to become the head of a
great racing stable will no doubt cause
fiutter in turf circles. says the Sport
ing World, and especially among ex-
pectant bidders at the forthcoming sale
of the Belmont racing properties. Mr..
Gould has ample means to crafty his
tastes, and should he contemplate a
career on the turf he would naturally
desire to be at the head of powerful
stable. A better opportunity to secure
stable ready made, SO to speak, has
not occurred in years than will be af-
forded at the Belmont sale. In addi-
ton TO famous racers in training, yalua-
bic stations and brocd mares are to be
disposed of. If Mr.. Gould should be
represented among the bidders there is
10 doubt that he will secure such ami
mails as his advisors recommend. nor
tnat his stable would prove powerful
factor IN the decision of turf events.
Parties selling in the near future will
look for bids from Mr.. Gould or repre-
sentative
