Tom Sharkey says that he is willing
to box Peter Maher. John j. Quinn of
Pittsburg, speaking for Maher, says:
"Sharkey's offer is just what we want,
and in reply to it l wish to say that Pc
tor Maher will box the sailor for 50, 600
a side and parse. The side bet is just
as much as Corbett and Fitzsimmons
wagered. Now, what want Sharkey
to do is this-let him forward forfeit
to any responsible man in New York,
and | will cover it and meet him or his
representative there and make the
match. This is a straight offer on my
part, and / am ready to transact bust
ness. We can get large purse, and it
is a sure thing that if Sharkey can de-
feat Maher he can win plenty of money
and cannot find any fault on that score.
Or if Sharkey will not fight Maher, then
Peter is open TO box any man i'll the
world under the same conditions offered
to Sharkey. We would like to have IA
chance at Goddard again. Stuart offers
purse of $40, 900 for fight between
Fitz and Goddard. Fitz has said that
he would not meet Goddard, and so
will make match for Maher to box
Goddard to finish or for limited
number Of rounds This ought to be ac-
ccptable to Billy Madden, who is repre-
senting Goddard. New York Sun.

coRBETT's SECOND CHANCE

"What is apt to be discussed now for
some time is, Should Corbett and Fitz-
simmons meet again?" says "A sporting
man. and he adds: "In my opinion the
restless public will soon conclude that
they ought to.

before the big battle Charlie White, The

'Corbett has said the same thing sew

NICK YOUNG'S ADVICE.

of Them.

He Tells Umpires What Will BE Expected
of Them.
President Young's recent letter to the
umpires of the National league and
American Association of Baseball clubs
gives special instructions and advice as
to the manner IN which the duties Of
an umpire should be performed The inn
portant requisites, he says, are to en-
force the rules honestly and as they a-a
written, but not arbitrarily. The vir-
tue of an umpire, he says, consists in
perfect fearlessness in rendering de-
cision believed to be right and having
rendered it to let it be final and irrevo-
cable. A greater mistake, he adds, can
not be made than to try to "even up
because afraid that an incorrect decision
has been made. Players should be made
to keep a lively game in progress, and
wrangling should be discouraged. If
both captains agree to begin game in
drizzling rain, it should not be dis
continued unless both captains request
it, unless the rain is so severe as to drive
away the spectators and prevent fair
playing. Anything both captains re-
quest should be done and the RESPONSE
bility left with them, except that when
two games are played in one afternoon
and the first game is long one, the
second should be started five minutes
thereafter, regardless of the time re-
naming to complete it-New York

Members of the Pacific Department Of
the A. A. u. Are Up In Arms.
The decision of the Pacific Athletic
association to abolish all championship
boxing contests has been received with
clubs affiliated with the Pacific depart
mcut of the National Amateur Athletic
union Those prominent in amateur
sports declare that this fiat will aim di-
rectly at the life Of the organizations.
Both the Reliance and the Acme clubs
have been making feature of their
boxing contests, and under this order
they will be compelled to abandon them
or lose their standing as amateur organ
izations.
Many members of the association
have been for long time past in a state
Of semirebellion. The feeling has been
growing stronger and stronger that the
tubs Of the Pacific coast should draw
out of the national organization, which,
they say, has been only financial drag
upon them. They have intimated strong
| ly that withdrawal and the formation
of an independent Pacific association
would be the outcome of the feeling
which has existed. The Acme Athletic
club has been foremost in the agitation.
The decision of the Pacific association,
however, has put the matter in stronger
light and has stirred considerable agita
ton. This club has given special atten
ton to boxing. 1t has always employed
skilled instructors i'll this department
and has some of the cleverest amateur
glove handlers on the Pacific coast
ITO absolutely prohibit our boxing
contests is matter of grave impor
tance," said Secretary J. P. Cook. 1T
seems to me there has not been that de
liberate consideration which should bt
had before an order so revolutionary il
its purpose should go forth. There is NJ
doubt that the decision will involv,
much comment and perhaps protest
even if it shall be accepted as fina
throughout the jurisdiction of the asso
citation.
In amateur circles this order compli
Gates the much discussed Independent
movement. There are some who go s.
far as to say that the proposed with

unions will not be received so enthusi

The advocates OF mea surcs f;.voring the
suppression OF football pla wing in Virginia
yesterday on the first blood in the skirmish
Sarted. The senate committee on general
laws by vote Of 5 to 4 agreed to report
Senator Barksdale's ant-football bill. The
most interested party to the discussion be-
fore the committee and tn, one who made the
strongest impression was Mrs. Enders Rob-
inson, OF Richmond, whose son, Mr.. Morgan
Robinson, was SO severely crippled in a
university game about year ago. Mr..
Early, the delegate from Greene and Mad
ison, at on time center rush on the univer-
versity team made strong defense Of
the game. Mr.. Early read a letter from
President Elliott, of Harvard, making
strong argument for football. He asked
Mr.. Barksdale If Mr.. Robinson was regu-
lar pla yer In the varsity when he was hurt.
Mrs. Robinson said she would answer that
question. Her son was president of the
athletic association and captain of the
scrub team. A report had been circu-
lated throughout Virginia and by some Of
the students. she was sorry to say, that
her son was injured by overexercise. She
