The tennis craze Is everywhere visible
on the campus. and the recent spell Of
clear weather has brought out the players
by the dozens. There are about twenty
courts at the college. and frequently the
lady friends of the students take hand in
tine sport. and some of them can WELD the
racket with remarkable skill. Misses Kate
Harrison and Bessie Pollard are considered
to be the champions of the fair sex, who
brighten the grounds of the institution
with their presence, while Crittenden, and
Roger and Edmond Harrison are the best
players among the.boys.

Will Dress as He Chooses.

Will Dress a. He Chooses.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 6-Phil Casey is
determined to work Sullivan again tomor-
row morning, which will doubtless be the
last before the fight.
The announcement sent out from the
Corbett train that the Californian's back
ers would demand that Sullivan appear
tomorrow night stripped to the navel Gre
ates much discussion. The Corbett men
claim that in previous fights Sullivan has
worn his trunks higher up. and that be-
meath he had worn bandages to protect
his stomach. Phil Casey says fighters
frequently wear pine pitch plaster over
the abdomen to stay them during the con-
test. He thinks McAuliffe did it last
night, and he knows Of no reason why
Sullivan should not do the same. How
ever, Casey did not indicate what response
would be made to the demand of the Cor
bett people in the matter. Sullivan, when
questioned, positively refused to discuss
the subject.
While Sullivan was being rubbed down
after his work at the gymnastic club this
morning Frank Moran, who has a share
in the Sullivan stakes, was questioned as
to Sullivan's view of Corbett's claim that
the champion must dress no higher than
the navel in the fight. 1--WE have nothing
to say in the matter" Quoth Moran.
''Sullivan will go into the ring ready to
fight. If there is any question as to the
method the complaint must be made to
the Olympic Club officers, who will act as
they deem right. We have no controversy
with the Corbett crowd" Sullivan was

He did not venture to 60 in over his

and he ate with relish. Then he went to

work. Afterward he took carriage drive,
and then retired for the evening.

New ORLEANS, Sept. 6.-The last of the
gisdators Is here. Corbett arrived this
morning and was given hearty welcome.
If superb condition and supreme con-
fidence today are factors in the fight, Cor
bett may be ranked among the winners.
A committee of the Southern Athletic
Club, headed by President Campbell. met
the Californian and his friends at the
depot and escorted them to their quarters.
Regarding his condition Corbett said:

Corbett was loudly cheered on his
arrival. Billy Brady and Billy

might contrive to doctor its contents.

OLYMPIC CLUE, NEW ORLEANS. Sent. g.
The fight tonight in the Olympic Club
arena was contest between black and
white, in which public betting was nearly
oil on the side of the African. The match
was for the biggest money, 81 500 purse,
ever contested for by featherweights.

Some Takers.


Some Takers.
The result of the Dixon-Skelly fight
seems to have been a foregone conclusion
among the local sporting men. About
81 500 changed hands at odds Of and even
3 to on Dixon. The bulk of the money
bet was placed at Ben Goldwater's and
Clancy &c Burns, $1,000 at the former
named place and $500 at the latter. The
losers did not lose on their judgment. The
odds offered made 1t a good gambling
proposition; then again Sicily was q
sort OF unknown quantity, and even the
strong Dixon men looked for a game
fight. The colored sports did not place
much money on Dixon, although he was a
strong favorite. The odds were too much
for their blood. General opinion was off
on the number Of rounds the fight would
last, but Hank Caverly, who called the
turn ON the Myer- McAuliffe fight, Sam
Moyses, Jim Foster. Jim Wilson, r. NJ.

Dixon was just at weight, 1l8 pounds;
Sicily was under limit, weighing but
