The Philadelphia Record says: '"will the
hardly, hut they should. They should have
won the rag about six times during the past
thirteen years, but they didn't. Does the
management want TO win the pennanto
Probably not. 1t has been good business
not to win, for there has been more
money in second or third positions. At
least that is the expressed opinion of the
Philadelphia management. The owners of
the local club are not in the business for
their health, and that the national game is
not a mere pastimc to them the grounds at
Broad and Huntingdon streets, with its
steel cantilever paviliOns are speaking evil
dences. fairgrounds and pavilions represent
only part of the profits of the game. No
baseball club in the League has made
the team has only once finished as good
as second in the championship race.
That was in 1887, when the Detroit
team of heavy hitters won. Isn't it
about time that Philadelphia's name should
appear at the top? 1t can be done if the
team is made strong and the management
is left to almost any Cne man. Shettsline
will be all right if he is let alone. 1t has
been the constant interference from behind
the scenes that has kept the Phillies down
in the past, and that same interference is
likely to Eold it back in the future. Why
not turn over rev leaf in 1886 and give
Philadelphia what 1t las never had-a PEN

NJ. F. Dwyer, the biggest pluDger on the
American turf, has had many hard-luck ex-
periences, mingled with experiences of an
opposite character, during his long and sue
cessful racing Career At jerome Park in
1886, on the occasion Of Tremont's first
start, Mike Dwyer had laid elaborate plans
to give the betting ring and the outside pool
rooms scorchiDg those singed would ever
remember. The colt would have been
favorite, as reports were rife of his wonder
ful trials, but the average bookma ker will
take a lot OF money on a green colt pitted
against large field, despite all favora BILE
hearsay reports.

police to stop betting on the day Of Tre-
nont's first start in the Juvenile stakes
caused Dwyer to lose the prospective for.
tune he was to win from the bookma kers,
as none OF the chalk knights were allo wed
to go on, and consequently no betting
was sent out from the track. Dwyer
was as confident of his colts winning
this first stake as lie was when a few
months later the writer saw him at the
old Monmouth track going from book
to book and betting each layer all the
money he would accept on the black
whirlwind at odds or ] TO 10 and / TO
20; $4,000 against $40, OF Dwyer's
money was one bet booked by Lucian
Appleby. 1t looked like roolhardy plung-
ing on Dwyer's part, as the track was
sea OF mud-bog-like in fact-and the
rain poured down in torrents while the
youngsters backed and filled at the start
ing post, the drenched colors OF their
jockeys being made discerniblc by oc-
casional vivid flashes OF lightning. Nc
Laughlin, whose confidence in the colt
was supreme, was seemingly making no
effort to get away in front, and the

The action of the st. Asapb people in
giving $3.50 purse on New Years Day is
in direct contrast with the miserly spirit
shown by the Island mana cement on Christ
mas Day. This association did not give
the handicap which the owners naturally
expected nor did they raise the amount OF
one of the purses.
The fourth race on the ST. Asaph program
on New Years Day will have especial con-
ditions which will guarantee its being n
good contest from spectacular point OF
view and will also give some OF the owners
a chance to get hold of little more money
than they do running for 500 purses.
The management of the st. Asaph track
also announces that as soon as possible the
purses in all of the races Will be raised.
They are just beginning to see their way

II has been decided by the management
of the Chicago Athletic Association that
from this tine on the club shall not be as
prominent in athletics as heretofore. In
other words 1t will be more of a social
than an athletic orga niZation. The first
intimation of this new policy came with
the resignation of Harry Cornish. 1t is
hinteG that he was notified that when his
contract expired it would not be renewed.
so he Immediately landed himself in what
is considered by his friends a better place,
the New Manhattan Club. This change of
policy was brought about, ii is said, by
Mr.. Burke, who has loaned money to the
club, and is now general manager, with
out pay, chairman of the entertainment
committee, and a member of the finance
and house committees. His position is
that there was not enough return for the
expenditures for athletics. "Ali the rea

said recently, twas to bring glory to the
Chicago A. A. There is nothing in the
glory 1t is not settled whether there
will lie c. A. 4. football eleven next sea-
son or not. but, If so, il is Mr.. Burke's idea
to have it 90 not further than 800 miles
from Chicago to play match games. When
asked If Cornish's resignation was desired
for economical reasons, Mr.. Burke replied:
Not exactly. Our athletics hereafter will
he purely amateur. His savored of pro-
fessionalsm." One of the conditions
which Cornish made in accepting the po-
sition with the Manbattans was that there
should Ice no athletic membership, and
that only entry fee and travelling expenses
lie paid for bona fide member athletcs.

President Joint. Brush was the originator
of the farming outs system. 1t was the
head of the Cincinnati club who introduced
the plan of developing young players for
major league ranks. The Indianapolis club
has been used several seasons as training
school for the Reds. 1t has made such an
impression that about half the clubs in the
League will follow President Brush's lead.
and have farming schools of their own next
season. President Brush probably gained
his idea of farming school, from Amos
Rusie's experience. He picked the "Thun-
derbolt'' up ''off the lots in indianapolis
in 1889. He was as wild and erratic then
as March wind. President Brush loaned
him to small club in Indiana. Three
months in the small club toned him do wn."

In view of the lack of evidence fur
nished by Dunraven in support of his serious
charges against the Defender syndicate, his
coming across the ocean is matter OF
surprise. Possibly the owner of Vaikyrie
simply wanted to show that he was not
afraid to come to America, and in that re-
spect he succeeded. There seems to be no
question that the managers of the Defender
will be triumphantly vindlcated, and on
that score it was well that Dunra ven came,
as that completes the case. Dunraven's
action will go down in sporting history as
the most gigantic bluff on record.

Bob FitZsinmons is down I'm Mexico
training. and Peter Maher has deposited
his forfeit money In New York and will
leave for Ell Paso, Texas, where he will
train, on January 4. So there is every ap-
pearance of a fight. Dan stuart's conf
dence that he can bring the battle off on
Mexican soil is now shared in by sporting
men, and nothing can stop the affair but,
the backing out OF one OF the principals, and
that is not at all probable, as Bob and Peter
both want TO get at each other, Bob for the
money there is in IL and Peter to settle the
old grudge which hasbeen standing since his
defeat three years ago. Frank Mclean
the business friend and partner OF Dan A.
stuart, who has just returned from Ell Paso,
reports that the big Texan sport has things
'.cinchcd' for the February fistic carnival.
Il am sure" said Mr.. Mclean, that every
fight booked will so through without any
niolestation. Fitzsimmons got in with
Julian and his trainers the day L left FL
PasO, and will do all his work there. aher,
too, is To have quarters in or near Ell Paso.
You see. the MEN will have to train near the
scene OF the mill In order to accliniatc them
selves, for the altitude is something like
3, 500 feet. Stuart is now a ranging fight
between Walcott and Dallas colored lad
known as Bright Eyes. The latter is a
stout husky fellow, who can get to about
lI5 pounds, and has never been defeated.
Then, too, Stuart has offered a purse for
Jack Everhardt and Horace Leeds, which,
il accepted, will make n rattling mill.
Aside from these there Is likelihood
that Ernest Roeber and Dan Mcleod will
come together in q wrestling match for the

KILRAIN IN HIS CORNER.

Abbott reached town Saturday evening
accompanied by John ? Dunn, the popular
announcer of New York, and Mike J.
Doyle, of Newark. Doyle Withhold the watch
for him tonight and Dunn and Jake Kilrain
of Baltimore, will lie in his corner.
The English boy spent the day yesterday =
in doing light work. He took long walk
out the Conduit road in the morning and
did some light work with the bag during
the afternoon. He is confident OF victory
In his battle with DAILY, whom he says he
will dispose of in less than fifteen rounds.
A representative of The Times visited
DAILY yesterday at his training quarters
down the Potomac. and found the Viii
mington lad in the best kind of condition.
Under the careful training OF Bobby
Frankfort, he has put himself in shape to
fight for mans life. .ts-
Doc Ray, at whose farm he has been
doing his work, has provided every cou-
venience for the comfort OF DAILY and his
trainers. and as the place is an ideal one
for training purposes. NO question OF lack
of condition can possibly arise
II never felt better in my life than do
today" said DAILY, land while / Go not
want to crow too loudly before the battle,
am confident that can whip Abbott. The
fight may possibly tie a Icng cne, but l
hardly think it win last twenty rounds.i
GOOD DEFENSIVE FIGHTER.
Abbott is a much slower fighter than I
am, but he is che of the greatest defensive
fighters in the country, and is not only
able to take vast amount of punishment,
but is hard hitterin the bargain
jersey Gordon, the New Jersey man
who Is matched to fight Pat Raedy, has
been with DAILY for the past few days
and he thinks that the Wilmington boy
has a cinch. He said that he thought the
Englishinan would not last more than
half dozen rounds with DAILY, aud con-
sidered the latter ! TO shot.
That there viii be big crowd in the
arena of the old Eureka Athletic Club.
where the contest will be held, is assured.
There has not been so much interest shown
in a battle in these parts since the Me-
Milan Raedy fight.
The preliminary bout between Spider
Kelly and Hughcy Lyons should be Il
corker. These two lads are very bitter
against each other, and as there is big
side bet on the result OF the fight, they
will put up as hot fifteen-round bout as
has ever been seen In the house.
Buses will be run to the fight from the
Hotel Lawrence, Hotel Enrich, and the
Marble Saloon. They will start about
o'clock, landing the passengers at the
clubhouse just in time for the first go.

Jimmy Handler, the Newark light
weGht-or rather welterweight, for he is
much too large for the lightweight limit,
although he endeavors to fight in that
class-has sprung a new one on the pug gilistic
fraternity in the way OF training. In tue
early days of the ring it was common
practice for pugilist in training to work
with heavy dumb-bells and other weights
In order to strengthen his muscles. The
more modern boxer usually depends on
running and fighting an inflated rubber
bag for training exercises. Handler in ad-
dition and as windup Of his days work,
fights the stipulated number of rounds with
an imaginary opponent. When Handler was
preparing for his six-round contest with
Billy Ernst at the last boxing show of the
Athletic Club of the SchuylkiIl Navy, he
fought six three minute rounds with an
imaginary Ernst every day, taking only
thecustomary minutes rest between rounds.
He would dance about his imaginary foe,
feint. duck, side step and retreat. Then
rush in with straight left-hand lead and
whip his right across onto the jaw and per-
haps follow 1t up with hurricane OF blows
which made the air fairly buzz with their
force and fury. The value of this sort of
training was evident when the night of the
battle came. Handler was much the more
active of the two and came near knocking
Ernst out.

committees OF Harvard and the Univer-
sity of Pc nnsylvania within the next
fortnight to definitely settle the eligibility
question, on which the two universities
are divided. Prof. Beale was sent a letter
by the Pennsylvania faculty agreeing to
contest with Harvard under Harvard's in
depreciation of the joint rules, provided that
the term college" could be defined to the
satisfaction of both parties. The dual
games and all other prospective contests
The eligibility rules for all these will be
settled by the faculty conference.
This does not mean, in any sense, that
Pennsylvania has abandoned the position
before taken upon this issue. Pennsyl-
vania has believed In Harvard's restric-
tioD and Interpretation to a great extent.
and merely desires this opportunity or reach
ing definite conclusion rs to what restric-
tions are equitable. 1t has been sho wn that
Harvard Is fed by Apdover, Exeter, and
well-known Boston schools, which develop
athletics to much greater extent than do
the colleges which feed Pennsylvania.
Moreover, the letter Of the rule permits men
from other universities or other institu
tioDs not bearing the name OF college
TO contest unrestricted. 1t is unjust to
define a college" as an Institution grant
ing degree, since in Philadelphia de-
grees are granted by the Central High
School, Temple College, Drexel Institute,
and similar preparatory schools. IT Is
probable that two restrictions will be
determined upon in defining college"
that 1t may not be restricted when IL
does not grant a degree Of recognizSj
standing, or does not have a matricuIa-
tion exceeding certain number, probably
$50.
This will permit both Brooke and Will
liams TO play upon next years football
team, but will restrict men upon other
of the university teams. How far these
restrictions Will go can only be deter
mined when their rules are formulated.

UNEARTHED IN CHICAGO.
Bones Pronounced to be Those of a Child
Under Ten Years Old.

CHICAGO, July % Portions of human
skeleton were found yesterday in the base
ment of H. H. Holmes building, at Sixty
third street The find was made at
depth of two feet, near the wall in tho base
ment. Tho bones were packed in damp
earth, with which had been mixed quick
lime. Several ribs were found. and with
them what resembled a bit of jaw, with
two teeth attached
Late in the afternoon Chief Badenoch
pronounced the bones to be those of a
child from & to 10 years old The surlnise
is that the skeleton is that OF Mrs Conner 5
little daughter Gertrude.
A portion of a lady's jacket, with large
pull sleeve, lay with the bones, and on the
cloth was a bunch of hair, which, how
ever was so badly discolored that its origi-
nal shade could not be determined
The find was mysterious, as neither the
skull nor any of the leg bones were found
with the ribs and bits of yertebrn. A small
phial, containing peculiar looking fluid,
was found with the skeleton, but its ma
ture could not be determined without
tests, and 1t was accordingly sent to a
chemist for examination.
