AS stated in these columns Yesterday.
there is talk of matching Robert Deylin
against Fred Hunt, the Fall River sprin-
ter and winner of last Saturdays race.
He said yesterday that he was willing to
run the fast one from the Spindle City,
and IL is among the probabilities that he
will put up forfeit for such match ere
many days. A race between Devlin and
Hunt ought to be "A more even thing than
that OF Saturday, and the chances are that
betting wouldn't he so one-sided in Hunts
favor. Deylln Is man OF years expert
ence on the track and knows what he is
capable of and wouldn't be likely go
into race unless he is satisfied that he
can make better time than under the
same conditions than Hunt made on Sat
urday. With George Hammell in there
too what great three-cornered race 1t

The movement inaugurated by Fred
erick w. Jansen of the Staten Island
Athletic Club, TO consolidate all the big
clubs in the country in an organization TO
be known as the United States League of
Athletic Clubs, is said to be the result of
his not being reelected TO the board of
managers at the time of the reorganiza-
ton of the Union. Mr. Jansen's object
is 10 crush out all the smaller clubs No
club can become member of the new or
ganization which has not $50, 900 worth of
property and 400 members. More friendly
relations between the swell clubs is the
object. II appears to be a movement
more in the line of establishing a frater-
nal and benevolent organization than for
the purpose of improving and advancing
amateur athletics.
The New York base ball directors tried
to come to some understanding again yes
terday with Dan Richardson and Roger
Connor but in vain. They promised 3
years contract at 81 900 year TO the play
ers, but they would not accept unless the
directors would personally agree To guar
antee the salaries which should be paid in
full whether they played or were on the
sick or injured list 1t would appear that
there is just little bit of the hog about
Dan and Roger and they will probably
find 1T hard work to get any club to agree
TO those conditions.
Jim Corbett has changed his mind and
now says that he will not insist on Peter
Maher waiting until Dec. Is TO see whether
Slavin or Mitchell accepts his challenge,
but will go ahead at once and make "a
match with the Irish champion for 5000
a side. He has withdrawn the deposit of
$1,000, which has been up so many weeks
awaiting the pleasure of Charley Mitchell
or Paddy Slavin, and put it up against the
81 goo put up by Billy Madden for Maher.
within few days, and bids from the diff
ferent clubs about the country are now in
order. 1t is more than probable that they
will decide the question of supremacy i'm
the arena of the Olympic club at New Or
leans.
Corbett's meeting Maher cannot hurt
his future prospects, if he is not mistaken
in his own ability as a boxer. That he is
a good one all say who have seen him in
the ring. He has shown himself "a clever
double handed fighter and hard and
furnishing hitter. With that he is
cool and collected and ever ready
to take advantage of any mis-
take or opening presented 10y his
antagonist. That ne is also game nobody
has ever questioned ii these are cold
facts il is likely that Corbeit will lower
the colors of Maher. As in size and ap-
pearance he ls man among men,
Maher will in no wise be disgraced if he
fails to win, ms Corbett ranks high, but If
he should gain the victory he will with
one bound almost reach the topmost round
of the pugilistc ladder.
