OARSMENOF THE COLLEGES
English Crew May Contest in Next
Summers Regatta.
Visit of Il Leading London Boat Club
man TO American Rowing
Authorities.

Ithaca, y. Y, Jan. 3Q.-During the last
few days "A new possibility in the rowing
situation has been brought to light.
r. S. Blunden Maple, a prominent mem
ber of the Thames, Leander and London
rowing clubs, OF London. has been making
a rather prolonged visit among the Cornell
rowing authorities, and, as result, an
English crey may be seer in an American
intercollegiate race next June.
Mr.. Naples visit to Ithaca has not been
explained, nor win the rowing authorities
discuss his mission here. However, from
Mr. Maple himself it is learned that the
English visitor is anxious to get crew
from his native country TO cross the ocean
and that he will confer with the authori-
ties of Columbia and the University of
Pennsylvania in regard to the matter. His
visit to Ithaca was primarily, Mr.. Maple
says, in order that he might visit Coach
Courtney, whom he met in England while
the crew was in that country in 1895.
Mr. Maple said that he liked the scheme
that Cornell had promulgated for a N inter
collegiate regatta, and said that il would
be in such d regatta English crews would
row, it in any.
He did not think that the date for the
American races would permit an English
college ere " to come TO this country, but
he sa W no reason why some of the rowing
clubs could not make the trip. He also
expressed d preference for the Saratoga
course over the PoughkeepSe course.
Mr.. Maple has gone to Phila delphia in
order to .onfer with Coach Ward,
OF the Pennsylvania crew. From Phila-
delphia he viii go New York. to see the
Columbia authorities. If both of these
Institutions favor the plan, he Will, upon
returning to England lay the matter be-
fore the leading rowing clubs, and urge
them To the undertaking.

MecoY,s SENSIBLE PLAN.

He VIII Meet Choynski if Jim and
Fitz Turn Him Down.
New YORK, Jan. 30.-The most sensible
announcement made by Kid Mccoy since
he defeated Dan Creedon for the middle
weight championship OF the world and then
entered the heavyweight class, expecting
To fight either CoIhett or Fitzsimmons,
was made by hin in Saratoga Friday night,
when he declared that If Corbett or fitZ-
simmons did not accept his challenge at
once he would be ready to fight Maher,
Choynshi, or any other heavy weight
Mccoy, after realizing how unpopular he
ha d made Himself by his challenge to Cor
bett aud Fit2simmuns, which he was Well
ware would beacoepted by neither pugilist,
no matter if he waited for ten years, came
TO the conclusion that it would he best
for him to fight Maher or Choynsli.
The people in this country want cham
pion pugilist TO show himself to be u
fighter who is not afraid to fight and viii
meet anyone who challenges him. Nc
Coy has finally agreed To do this. and if
he fights Peter Maher and defeats him
he will MAKE himself as popular as John
L. Sullivan, and everyone will root hard
for him to become the champion Of the
world some day.
McCoy's declaration Will surely hurt Fitz-
simmons and Corbett all over the country,
II VIII likelT injure their shows, and may
make both Gorhett and Fitzsmmons do
something in reEafd TO fighting again.
As soon - Parson Davies. manager OF
Joe Choynski, and Buck Connolly. of Pitts
burg, manager of Peter Ma her, learn that
Mccoy has agreed to fight their men, they
viii surely feel much pleased and will lose
no time in adding more money to the de-
posits which they have already posted to
back Choynski and Maher against Mccoy.

It is hardly likely that Vasey, the boxer,

be a match Cor Pat Raedy, bat the chances
are that he would have been thoroughly
handled, or, perhaps, have shown the white
feather. HIS conduct in deceiving his
