his usual equitable style, and while he

less on the conservative side.
The top weights are unquestionably

ably take on Taylore. the Frenchman
and if successful in my race with him

in the least afraid of Jimmie, but
think il will be better policy for me to
begin at the bottom and work up.
viii probably remain in America for a
wear and perhaps longer. and L do not
wish 10 race a man like Michael before
I am fit. and perhaps injure my chances
of getting on future matches by being
defeated
The Welsh coal miner has offers OF
engagements from the American cycle
Racing Association and the National
cycle Track Association. He will de-

viii ride.
James a. Hart. secretary of the Chi
cago Baseball Club. said last night
that he would make a formal state
ment today, covering the relations that
are to exist hereafter between the
club and Capt. A. c. Arson.
1t is generally regarded as a GER
tainty that Arson will have nothing
TO do with the club in any capacity
and that Tom Burns viii be made
manager. Neither Hart nor Arson
win say one word on the matter.
Andy Watson. who arrived IN Eng
land a few weeks ago looking for
match. and who was tried out with
Johnny Huges. the English light
weight. with whom he made very
creditable showing. has been matched
to meet Jewey Cook. Of England, in
2O-round contest at the National
Snoring Club, of London. on Febru-
arv q. They will box at 136 pounds,
weigh at o'clock on the day of the
contest. This bout will be the cur
tain-raiser to the 20-round go between
spike Sullivan, Of this country, and
Harry Greenfield.
The candidates for the relay team
Which is TO compete with Harvard at

of Waterbury. Conn. and l. V. Rich

Another reason for Corbetts retire

ing his retirement is as follows:

Robert FitZsimmons i'm refusing my
proposition for a fight is not only go

also seeking to AVOID contest about
which he is doubtful as to the result.

TO him have been sincere, and the fact
that he has been pleased TO call them

call them, indicates too fully his posi-
tion in the matter.

The argument is being used with tell
ing effect upon the baseball magnates
throughout the country that to transfer
the schedule meeting Of the League
from st. Louis to New York would be
a bad move. i'm view Of the muddled
condition of affairs In the Mound City.
The option which Messrs. Dickson and
Talbot. 81 Indianapolis hold on the ST.
Louis club expires today. and il is. no
doubt. the intention Of many Of the
maEnates to await developments and
if this firm decides To buy the Browns
the meeting viii probably be held I'm
the West. as il is argued that To meet
in ST Louis would go a long way
toward putting the game in that city on
a filmer basis and give The new pro-
plietors a good start.
The contest for the meeting has be-
come somewhat complicated. New
York stin remains favoIite over the
field as the choice Of the magnates,
though Il is possible that before the
vote is announced enough may change
votes TO hold the meeting where il was
originally scheduled.

Miller Hoy and other Reds would go
to st. Louis said Brush, as he wanted
to help his friends out. In the event
that all this transpired he promised TO
make a trade with Louisville anyway.
and that if il did not turn out he would
give Ritchey and Hoy for Hill. He said
he was anxious to help both Louisville
and ST Louis, as strong teams in these
cities would mean much to all the otn-
er clubs.
The stakes offered by the Westches-
ter Racing Association and the Wash
ington Jockey Club close tomorrow.
The stakes announced for the Wash
ington meetings are not. of course. as
valuable as those at Morris Park. The
added money in the fiat races is $500
to $500. and in the jumping races $500.

Wisconsin crew has begun. Prepare
tons are already on foot for the race
on the Hudson with the University of
Pennsylvania, Cornell and Columbia

Besides this race, plans are on foot
to secure a race with the Yale crew, if
possible and to secure a race with
Pennsylvania on Milwaukee Bay dur
ing the carnival there in June.
None of the boating authorities at
Yale has heard Of possible Overtures
from Wisconsin for race next spring.
