BEFORE THE CONTEST
The Betting was Always in Favor of the
Californian.

The 20-round glove fight between
James J. Corbett of California, the ex-
champion heavyweight boxer of the
world, and Tom Sharkey of Dundalk.
Ireland, who first showed his prowess
as a fighter while serving The United
States as a blue jacket in the navy
drew an enormous crowd of sporting
men to the LenoX Athletic Club house
tonight
Today not seat was to be had at
the club house after ! O'clock, and those
who had not made early provision had
TO pay exorbitant prices to the specu-
Iators, who snapped up the best seats
early in the game. Tickets for seats
in the immediate vicinity of the ring
brought fabulous prices tonight. The
original cost of these pasteboards was
$50 each, but tonight twice the sum
could not purchase one of them. and
in two instances they brought 500
apiece
The gambling instinct was in evidence
as soon as the sports began to gather
IN the boxes. CoTbett's stock was al
ways in preference. and the odds on the
big Californian opened at 500 to $50
The betting was not as lively as on
former occasions when fighters of less
note have met in this arena So much
betting had been done during the nasf
As hours, however in the sporting re-
sorts throughout the CITY. that the

the heavyweight bout
The first of the two preliminary
bouts was begun at $40 o'clock The
principals We're two local boxers-.JaclJ
Sullivan and Charley Schultz-Vrho
were announced TO 90 ten rounds at 1876
pounds. This proved to be a slugging.
match totally devoid of science. In the
seventh round Schultz was declared
the winner.
During the progress Of this bout there
was commotion in box at the ring
side. Kid" Mccoy the pugilist. who
is to meet Peter Maher at Conev ISL
and. next month, had gained admission
to the arena, disguised with false black
whiskers and moustache Some davs
ago Tom o. Rourke the manager of
the club, forbade Mccoy the privilege Of
entering the club house. although the
kid" had been engaged by a morning
newspaper to write the story of the
big fight. A careful watch was kept
by the ns9n al the doors so that he
could not get in but he baffled their
vigilance with his disguise. AS soon
as he took his seat at the ringside.
Mccoy was recognized and he removed
his false WHISPERS. Detective Sergeant
Armstrong ordered Mccoy to leave the
building. but the Kid" refused: then
Armstrong and Detective Mulholland
urged Mccoy to leave and caught him
by the arms, at the same time pushing
him through the crowd. Mccoy left
very reluctantly, protesting as he went.
The officers left Mccoy at the en-
trance to the building, and he walked
out on Lexington avenue. As he passed
each door on his way out. Mccoy de-
manded a pass-out check and was ac-
comynodated. The incident caused good

He far excelled any previous record
breaker. and at an expense of about
$4,000, gained that which others have
paid five times that amount to gain,
and failed, at that.
Taylor made q clean sweep, toying
with all marks. Between Nov. 4th,
the date of his first official trial, and
Nov. &c. the date of his last successful
attempt against the mile record, he
lowered all but one of the distance
marks from the one-quarter mile to the
two miles, inclusive. The kilometer
distance was also lowered; the two
thirds mile was not attempted.
The following is, in brief, the diary
of tho most successful record camp
ever known. The table gives the date,
the distance, Taylors official record,
the best previous record, the former
holder and the year made

who, in the cold and wind, could nope
to duplicate this performance
But all of Taylors great perform
ances have not turned his head one
iota. He is Just the same sort OF a
boy he was before he left-or three
years ago, when Taylor first came into
real prominence.
An interesting point has arisen re
sulting from Taylor's riding. 1t is
whether the man or the wheel were the
greatest factor in these successful at
tempts, for Taylor, as everybody knows,
instead of using the ordinary chain
wheel, has been riding a Sager gear
attached to his wheel. Soon after the
old-styed sullky wheels We're replaced
by the pneumatic tires, there was a
wholesale reduction in the trotting and
pacing records. This was directly at
tributable to the smaller wheels and
rubber tires. Many have asserted that
the Introduction of a practical chain
less wheel had been a very potent fac
tor to Taylor's success.
In q, chat that a representative of
The Spy had with Taylor, yesterday
afternoon, this question came up, and
what Taylor has to say upon the mat
ter is surely most interesting The
question was asked Of Taylor Did the
Sager gear help you in riding?'
Most aSsuredly' Taylor replied. l

other rider next season, when weather

off some seconds from the present
marks. There would be no sport in
the game if they We're not to be low

HIS RECORD RIDES
He Says He Expects to See
Them Lowered Next Year.

Fresh from the greatest series of rec
ord breaking rides ever undertaken by
any cyclist, Maj. Taylor arrived in
Worcester yesterday morning. He
looked well and strong, just as he al
ways does, and if his riding in Phila-
delphia has been really wearing upon
him, he surely did not show it in his
face.

PROPOSES ON WARPATH

A good game of junior foot ball was
played on the Worcester Academy oval
yesterday afternoon between the third
eleven Of Highland Military Academy and
the junior eleven of Worcester Academy.
The juniors styled themselves the Pa
pooses, and they appeared to be budding
warriors indeed by the way in which they
did up their rivals from the military
school.
The soldiers outweighed the Papooses
about ten pounds to the man, but the lat
ter knew the game and defeated the heav-
Ter team by a score of Is to . in ten and
fifteen minute halves. About 300 people
saw the game.
The Papooses made most of their runs
around the ends, the backs giving some
very clever exhibitions of sprinting, and
lodging. The Military Academy gained
somewhat through the center. but were
unable to cope with their smaller and
livelier opponents.

deal Of excitement but the spectators
soon Gained down.
The second preliminary bout brought
Kid" Harris of Chicago and Charley
Roden of Jersey City together. They
boxed at los pounds. Harris had the
advantage in height and reach, but
Roden had a wonderful supply of pluck
and aggressiveness.
In the ninth round Harris almost
knocked Roden off his feet with right
cross on the jaw. Harris then went af-
ter his man and had him reeling when
the gong sounded with lefts and rights
on both Jaws. When Roden went to
his corner i, was found that his jaw
was broken. and Charley White stopp-
ed the bout and awarded the fight to
Harris. Roden- was cheered for his
gameness.

Many big Wagers after this bout
were made, amounting to thousands Of
dollars. lSome of .he biggest bookma
kers i'm fthe country were among the
most interested betJers, and they bet
both ways, whenever an opportunity
offered. Same Of them were simply
gambling on the event and trying to
pick a winner, While others could not
forego the chance of making a per cent.
Joe Ullman was one of the latter
sort. and his bets We're as varied as
they were numerous. He always look
ed for the shade. Corbetts hackers
forced the price Of the Californian to
500 to $40 just as it was learned that
the ex-champion had reached the club
house and was in his dressing room.
AT % minutes after 10 o'clock buzz
of excitement ran through the pulld-
ing, and Tom Sharkey pushed ms way
through the betting crowd. He was &C
companied by his manager, rom
O'Rourl1e, John n. Dougherty, George
Dixon. Bob Armstrong and Jack Reid
who acted as his seconds. Prof jim
my" DeForest held the watch for the
freshman. Sharkey never looked pei
ter in his life, and saif htSWeighed ltS
pounds.
The crowd was beginning to be I'M
easy at Corbetts delay in making ms
appearance. when some one in the gal
lery shouted Three cheers for Shar-
key" These were given with Will
and repeated all over the house. Cor
bett did not reach the ring side until
1898 o'clock, just Is minutes later than
Sharkey. His seconds We're Charley
White, Geo. Considine, Jack McNey,
and John Considine of Detroit acted as
his timekeeper.
When the men were introduced,
Sharkey's name was mentioned first,
and there were prolonged cheers, to
which Sharkey bowed repeatedly.
Corbett received a most demonstrative
ovation, the cheering lasting more than
a minute. There was long consulta-
ton between the principals, their sec
onds and the referee, after which the
men retired to their corners, after hav-
ing agreed not to hit liz ciinches or in
breakaways, and that they would step
back when ordered to break. Every
thing was then in order for the bout 10
begin. The men shook hands at l0l5S
o'clock.

Chicago Chronicle: An ominous
incident. of the skirmish at Guanta-

be difficult to prevent them from
wreaking Vengeance upon the Span
iards. Certainly it will go hard with
any guerrillas who fall into the hands
of our troops. Savagery always

up to it from the ranks, as others
must do. This is the only fair way
to preserve the spirit of the army.
