Corbett and sharkey.

The articles of agreement signed last
June by Jim Corbett and Tom Sharkey
in San Francisco, in regard to their
contemplated championship encounter,
calls for a finish, but the recent fight
talk coming from Frisco, l note, is con-
sidering a ten-round go between them
for the heavyweight championship"
Up to this writing, however, Sharkey
has not been heard from, and it is prob
able he will not agree to modify the
original finish into such small num-
Der of rounds. But could there be a
bona-fide chang ionship contest, limited
by ten rounds! 1t would be quite a
comedown, TO say the least, and 1t
would probably be relegated to a dis
tinct class of its own, specified as ten
round championship contest. the win
ner being dubbed the ten-round heavy
weight champion. II may be consid-
cred If pugilism ever falls into this rut
there will be limit-round champion
ships, from one round up to a hundred
or more, and herein there may be pos
sibly a solution of a division of the
spells among the various heavies now
claiming the title. Let each claim his
special number of rounds. at which
Notch he feels he can lick anybody, and
stay to it consistently in his newspaper
talk.
Regarding Corbett and Sharkey, the
supervisors of San Francisco have al
ready granted the boxers permit to
meet for ten rounds there when they
get ready. / advise the sports Of that
country to get two or three other ten
round permits, while they are at it, and
sew them together for this special oc-
casion. The nativity of so many gold
first to want TO knock finish institutions
down TO ten rounds.

CaYlor,a Diacnxerx.

Mr.. o. p. Caylor is always "discov-
erlng" things ranging from league
"conspiracies' to new points In the
art of playing base ball. His latest
find" Is a theory that there Is no such
thing as luck" In base ball-a theory
that no man with experience Of the
vagaries OF the game will accept. In
support of this theory Mr.. Caylor says:
THE Louisville team has a remark
able record this year of an unusually
large number of games lost by a single
run. It's friends point to this fact and
say: How is that for hard luck? II
they would stop to think seriously
they would not call II hard luck. Those
numerous one-run defeats are very Of
ten the result of lack of nerve on the
part of the players. A small stock of
ginger and the confidence at the right
time would have turned many OF those
defeats into victories, whereas Just
enough OF courage was lacking to beat
them out by the narrow margin. II
the Colonies can secure that lacking
ingredient next year they will make
Hiucn uetter sho"lnS' oeNeTdl years
ago the Boston team won many games
by single runs. and the cry went up:
What luck! What luckp Had the cry
been changed to what pluck! what
pluckr 1t would have fitted the case
exactly. There is a good deal In luck
as applied to base ball. but In an ex-
perience covering twenty years I've
always found that hard luck was the
companion OF falnt-hearted teams,
while the nervy. rip-bang. slam, never
say-die combinations had all manner
Of good luck crown their playing.
There is no such thing as luck in its
bare, unqualified sense in base ball.
But confidence and a lack of It are
often classed as luck"

RillY Madden Not a Jonah.

One of the most remarkable happen
ings for some time Is the fact that Billy
Madden-who doesn't remember Billy
from the Mitchell-Sullivan days and
several things in between was abso-
lutely in Steve ODonnells corner when
he whipped Paddy Slavin. Now since
the halcyon days referred to above
the days of Sullivan and Mitchell
Madden has not till this instance, so
far as any records show, been in a win
ming corner. His was most persistent
case of hoodoo. He ran Peter Maher
against Bob Fitsimmons at New Or
leans; Joe Goddard against Denver
Smith at New Orleans; Joe McAuliffe
against Paddy Slavin in England, and
did plenty more as bad. Mixing 1t
with a Jonah has been very properly
accounted the most direful thing in
the lexicon of the gentleman of sport,
and many in Mr.. Madden's predica-
ment had quit years ago. But Mr..
Madden never did; he never even
wavered, and now he is before us bright
and CHEEKY as in the days gone by. In
some future time, when Billy may have
monument erected TO his memory, |
suggest the simple lines: After ten
years he trun down a hoodoo."

The Late Ed Crane.

Edward N. Crane was born In South
Boston 80 years ago. His father was
man of wealth. Crane learned to play
ball in South Boston. and soon
achieved a local reputation as a gen.
| eral player. He joined the Boston
Union association in 1884, and played
behind the bat, but he soon developed
into speedy pitcher, and when he
went to Providence in 1884 he had ac-
CURED considerable distinction rs
twirler.
He played with Boston in 1886, and
went to Toronto in 1887. 1t was mainly
through bis exertions that that club
won the international championship.
He was secured by the New Yorks in
1883, and helped the Giants to win the
league championship in 1SSS-S9. In
1890 he went with the Players league
movement. In 1891 he was a member
of Mike Kelly's Cincinnati American
Association club. Through dissipation
his effectiveness began to decline, and
he dropped into the minor league class,
where he drifted from one club to an
other.
In the fall of 1889, while a member
of the New York team. he went on the
famous Spalding tour around the
world as a member of the All-Ameri-
can team, and from that dates his mis-
fortune. Until then he never drank.
but when the aggregation reached
Paris Crane fell. The members of the
team were wined and dined. and II
was there that the clever young player
tasted his first glass Of champagne.
That was the turning point in his life.
When he reached America again not
only could he drink champagne. but
he had acquired taste for less expen-
sive drinks. He went from bad to
worse. and although he played good
ball since then the love for liquor ru-
'ned him. Through 1t he lost good
The copper country evening news. [volume] (Calumet, Mich.) 18??-1907, 1896-10-31

positions, and finally it left him with
out employment and incapacitated for
work.
In his prime as ball player he was
a giant In physical strength and pro-
portions, and such men as he and
Ewing gave the New York club the
name by which II has since been
known-the Giants. He was n re-

tect the umpires next season is good
one. Hanlon. at the League meeting,
which is TO be held in Chicago this fall.
will offer an amendment to the rules

plre full authority to fine player
for unnecessary kicking. and then If
the offense is repeated to remove him
from the game. Hanlon's suggestion is
to give the umpire full authority to re-

found II In "A normal condition. The
Heart of Chicago" Is the latest play
from the pen OF Lincoln ]. Carter, and
Il began its pulsations on Sunday. The
piece is. like Mr.. Carriers others, melo-
dramatic in tone and is, to a certain
extent, original in plot and scenic en-
Enlistment, illustrative of the fact that
the author has not lost his cunning in
devising novel and striking mechanical
effects, and that he Is one OF the best
stage producers in this country. The
play opens with dissolution of a firm
and quarrel between the members on
the night of the great fire. AS the fire
began on a Sunday night. 1t is not ex-
planned why the firm was doing bust
ness. but Ii affords an opportunity fer
the introduction of three very effective
and realistic views of that memorable
night in October, 1871. Twenty-one
years are supposed to elapse between
the first and the succeeding acts. The

The draw Tommy White made with
George Dixon of twenty rounds in New
York, In which the westerner showed
something better than even-that is,
showed he should have won had II
progressed to a flnish-has set the Chi
cago boys friends wild over him. II
Tommy meets Dixon again, particu-
larry IL II be to a finish. there is a
ton OF money in Chicago to back his
chances. At their meeting Friday
night they were offering TO 1 on Dix
on and prophetic scribes of the east

Dixon's admirers will offer disserta-
lions upon the subject of his going
back. not considering, perhaps, how 1t
was that the colored champion could
stay at a rushing clip for the best part
OF an hour, pace at which the Chi
cagoan met him halfway at all times.
Possibly Dixon may not be quite as
good as he has been, but there will be
no use trying 10 make a mountain out
OF a molehill. He might have been a
degree or so better on Friday night,
anything with Tommy. 1t is very safe
90 say. all things considered, that Tom
my White has been of late coming
along much faster than the other has
been taking an opposite course, and for
some time out this way the Chicago
representative has been recognized the
best material in the boxing world to
stack against the colored wonder. II
Tommy retains as level head as he
has within the past year there is no
reason why he should not be the next
featherweight champion. The little
Chicagoan's position toward the feath-
erweight championship and some other
aspirants for the title will be gone
