Phil Dwyer, who has looked over the
bunch, was or the same opinion. This Is
the colt tue Mcssrs. Keene are depending
upon to represent the wDIte and biue spots

a promising lot, and the majority OF them

The handicap horses are all reported well,
but heavy, owing TO their having been kept
Oh the straw rides and under the sheds the
past two weeks. None OF them have been
asked to do anything as yet, and their APP
pearance as they stand in their stalls or
walk around is the only means OF obtaining
an idea OF what may BE- expected Of them
when the time comes.
Ii there is one which looks further ad-
vanced than another IL is the bulldog,
Sir Walter. He does his best to break
up Walter Rollins establishment every
time he Is taken from his stall. He is
so good that he is allowed 10 kick and
jump around for five minutes before an
attempt is made to saddle him. Ii this

count OF Mr.. August Belmont being so close

quite few trainers do not think he will
be at his best so early. and that Dorian will
be keyed up for the event.
1t is a little premature. however, TO
speculate on such ideas. In couple or
weeks time the critics will be able TO
talk more positively on the question. One
thing is almost certain, Sir Walter will be
a starter, and he will he close to the win
ner, If all the cracks in the country were
sent out. Today Sir Walter is the best
horse to play under the circumstances, as
he is always a sure starter, an early
horse and is being trained over the Metro
poiitan course, which is quite an item In
his favor.

Six Contests Decided Last Night in the
Quaker City.

Philadelphia, March 2I.-SiX siX-round
bouts constitute dthe program al the TuNedO
Athletic Club last evening. Four bouts
went the limit, while two were cut short.
The first bout, between Billy McABany and
EDDIE Ford, was an excellent exhibition OF
clean, hard biting. McAnany won after
working very hard.
Tue second boat, between John Ferris and
Paul Ford, was quite as good as the first.
Ferris Won hdDdily by forcing the fighting
and by his hard ieft-hand face blows.
The bout between Martin Judge and
George DANG was very interesting for five
rounds, when DANG quit by the advice of
his seconds. Judge was declared the win
ner.
The wind-up was between Andy Rambo
and Jimmy Mann. Rambo seemed from the
first to be the quicker and was much more
up to date than his adversary. The six
rounds We're full OF fight. Rambo's hitting
was very hard and clean and the quickness
OF his recovery was astonishing. The judges
accorded R3mbo the decision.
The bouts between Billy Smith and John

short. Smith defeated Carey in three one

STARTING MACHINE ROW.
Ryan Warns the Race Tracks Against
Using The New-FanSled AffuIr.

New York, March 27.-Patrck Ryan of
this city is the inventor and proprietor
of "A starting machine, which he claims is
the original of all race starting machines.
Mr.. Ryan has not been amused 10y all The
gossip concerning the machines now in use
at New Orleans and San Francisco, or the
machines to be used at the Memphis and
Sheepshead Bay tracks.
In all meekncss and humility he has lis
tened TO the boasts made by the owners
of these machines, but he was riled when
he learned that Alexander Gray of Aus
tralia had been granted II United States
patent on his so-called Australian starting
machine. Mr.. Gray obtained his patent
March II. Mr.. Ryan did not learn OF ii
until Wednesday. but he lost no time in
getting down 10 work.
Mr.. Ryan has engaged X-Judgc William
H. Kelly as counsel. and he proposes TO
wage vigorous warfare against the
owners OF all the starting machines now
in use. He says he obtained patent
on his machine in 1880. and that all the
other machines. not excepting the Aus
tralian, infringe upon his model and are
being operated to his injury. He has cx-
hibited his machine on the metropolitan
race tracks at various times. and notices of
these trials or exhibitions were published
SO long ago as 1890. If n vigorous fight can
win for him. Mr.. Ryan will come out on
top. He has warned the managers of the
San Francisco. New Orleans and Memphis
tracks against using the starting ma
Chine without first obtaining his perms-
sion.
This is the beginning of the starting ma
chine litigation. There is more to follow.

FAILED TO AGREE UN RULES
Not Much Accomplished at Foot
bail Conference in New York.
Mass and Momentum Plays Seem to BE
the Bone of ContentiOn-AnOthe
Meeting Probable.

The intercollegiate committee TO revise
the foo,bai rules and al Just the difrereIS =
Ill the various codes, met at tie University
Athletic Club, IN New York, yesterda y after
noon. The meeting was scheduled orig
inaily for Saturday evening, but the va
rious delegates We're nollIied by Chairman
Walter Camp or the change OF program.
Walter Camp represented Yale; Jonn Z.
Bell, PcnBsyivanil; John Il. Sears, Har-
ward; Alexander Moifatt, Princeton, ana
Prof. Denis, Cornell. Paul Dashien was
present by virtue OF his experience as an
official, and represented 10 college. After
the meeting was called To order a discussio ion
OF the methods OF procedure was inaugu-
rated. IL was decided TO effect a general
codIflcat.Ol or The rules. This necessarily
took considerable time. John c. Bell had
rearranged the book carefully and the va
rious questions were considered in the order
suggested by him.
After a short discussion the Harvard
Princeton ruie on 4 fair catch was adopted.
This allows the back catching the ball to
run with it, after touching 1t 10 the ground,
and penalties any pla yer tackling him If he
fails to do so.
The mass and momentum plays were the
bone of contention. The momentum Gues-
tion was practically settled by n partial
agreement 10 allow no one TO start before
>the ball was i'll play.
As to the massing OF pla yers the commit
tee was divided. Alexander Moffatt wanted
the PrincetonYale rule adopted in toto.
This provided that seven men should be on
the line OF serImmage when the ball was
put in play.
Walter Camp agreed with him. and Paul
Dashiell as well, while Prof. Denis and
Joseph II. Sears We're non-committal.
John C. Bell OF the University or Penn
sylvania alone vigorously opposed it, and.
thanks to the prior agreement that no
rule should be adopted without unanimous
consent, held the matter in deadlock. He
opposed the principle OF defining the po-
siton of the men. and practically stated
that he would never agree to It.
The best way to prevent mass PLAYS
without restricting the game so greatly
became the question, and to this no
answer has been returned. 1t is prob
able that the outcome will be the pa ssing
of some rule providing that but five men
may play behind the line.
Another meeting will probably he held
