CORBEfT'S BAD BREAK
Willing to Drop His Accusations
Against Referee Siler.
But the Official Is Not Satisfied
and May Make Another
Statement.

New York. Jan. Is. - Jim Corbett
made foolish move VIXEN he attacked
George SiIer few days ago in Chicago,
and as much as limited that the popular
referee robbed him of the fight with
Bob Fitzsinmons St Carson city
Corbett named fifteen reasons why he
thought Siler stood in with Fitzsim-
mons during the fight. but now that
Siler tas notified him that he viii meet
him tomorrow in Chicago and prove
that Corbett is entirely mistaken Cor
bett has taken in his sails and an
nounces that he will drop the cOntro-
Versy for good and viii not meet him.
SiIer. however. in order To eXOnerate
himself with the sporting fraternity all
over the world. intends to make anoth-
er public statement which he expects
will nole than prove to the entire sat
isfaction OF every person who was in
terested in the championship battle
that he is a strictly honest sportsman
and referee.
Siler has always been regarded by
everyone as d square man, and if Cor
bett knew previous to the fight that
Siler had been implicated or accused of
any crooked deals in regard to deci-
sions or in other ways he should not
have allowed him TO referee the fight.
Corbett viii be severely criticised in
this country for his accusations against
Siler, and now that he has made up hir
mind not To continue To attack him any
more the sporting men will be pleased.
Corbett, in order To keep the good
will of everyone who is anxious Il, Sc
him get another fight with FitZsim-
mons, should keep after the lanky Cor
nishman and also post s.. 600 or $1,000
to show that his offer cf $4,000 which
he says he will give to FitZsimmons If
he cannot stop him inside of ten rounds
is bona fide and has no rope tied TO it.

Skating Event in New York

New York, Jan. 1S.-Judging from the
number of outside cracks that have sent in
their entries for the annual championship of
the Nat ionai Skating A Associa ton, " hich is
to be held at Silver Lake, Staten Island,
the last week of January the event will not
by any means be local affair. j. Merrick
is coming all the way from New Bruins
wick, Canada 10 teach the New Workers
thing or two in speed skating.
Z. j. Schmidt, of Wisconsin, is another
candidate from far distant locality de-
sirous of winning national honors. One of
the most likely out-of-town experts is j..
w. Olnstead, of Dorchester, Mass. He is
considered one of the fastest skaters in
New England, and the announcement tha he
has entered will Danish the fond hopes and
air castles OF many aspirants. Another
New Englander who will endeavor to show
his heels TO the local cracks is Bob"
Warner, OF the East Boston Athletic Asso-
citation.
E. Thomas. the young Newburg expert,
who did so well last year, has just re-
covered from sickness. but is training and
will enter the short events. The upstate
contingent will have another strong repre-
sentative in Thomas CooIey, OF Cornwall.
With the exception of Thomas, these men
are entered in all the championship event.,
many of the handicaps. Manager Robert
son expects q few other out-Of town en-
tries With whom he is now corresponding.

Century Run Rule Fails.

Chicago, Ian. 1S.-The executive com
mittee of the Century Road Club has re-
fused TO approve the new rule proposed
by j. Q. McGarrett, chairman Of the road
records committee, relative to checking
century rides. This action was taken at
a meeting of the committee held at the
Great Northern Hotel yesterday, at which
President SkinRle and Second Vice Presi-
dent Bentley were present. The rule,
which is thus made imperative, provided
that century riders must get the sigma
tire at least every twenty-five miles OF
the ride OF some one who saw them max
ing the century. The executive committee
refused 20 give il approval mainly because
It would interfere with night centuries
and with attempts at records.

Magnates of the Mines Utter Senti-
ments Against Rowdyism.
New York. Jan. Is. - The agitation
against rowdy ball playing is having
its effect. Already the presidents of
the Boston, Philadelphia, Brooklyn and
Chicago clubs have openly stated that
they will do all in their power to sup
press the evil. Nearly all the other
magnates are unit against the use of
foul language on the field, but they
dodg ethe main issue-that of disputing
the legal power of the umpire.
When a reporter saw. President
Freedman. of the New York club, to-
day he expressed appreciation of the
poSith,nS assumed by NIessrs. Soden,
Ebhets. SIaldins and Reach.
viii you, the coming season, instruct
your players to stop kicking against

porter.
Il am in favor of stopping all kick
ing said Freedman, and that has
been my policy all along. / am not an
advocate of rowdy ball playing in any
sense OF the word, and i believe in fair

II is probable that John T. Brush, IN
due time, will also come out in favor of
a total abolition OF kicking. and if he
does he will be supported, no doubt, by

MANY THREE-YEAR-OI.Ds.
They Are Showing Up Well for the
BROOKLYN Hundicap.

New York, Jan. 1S.-The entries TO the
Brooklyn aud the Suburban Haudicaps
show that these events win be far more
interesting this season than for several
years past. The class of horses entered is
very good and they give PROMISE OF fur
nishing grand contests. The most notable
feature about these handicaps is the pres
ence of many three-year-Olds. No ,aree-
year-old has ever. won either the Brook
lyn or Suburban, but this litu. matter of
history does not apparently deter their
owners from having hopes.
Prominent among the three year-olds
are Richard Bradleys good colt, Ira verser,
and Mike DIV ycr'S Previous. Barring Ham
burg, these colts are the pick OF the three
year-old division. While entered in the
Brooklyn, their names do not appear ia
the Suburban, notwithstanding that the
latter race is run over three weeks after
the Brooklyn. This also detracts from
the interest i'll the Suburban. HandbaII,
Plaudit, Michael III. George Keene and
other three yearolds are also entered in
the Brooklyn. These names also appear in
the Suburban list. Hamburg has not been
entered greatly 10 the disappointment of
the racing public.

CAPT. BLACK HEARS sCHADE.
The Champion Cyclist Complains of
the New Haudiebar RuIe

the y ew tuIt-
Commissioner Black gave hearing
to Fred Schade yesterday afternoon,
and the local cycle champion will ap-
pear before him again to-day in the
bicycle regulation forbidding low ham
dIebars.
Mr. Schade said at the hearing yes
terday that 10 sit EXACTLY upright is in
furious to the physicallsystem and that
the correct position for a wheelman to
assume is to lean somewhat forward,
throw the chest ut,SNand have arms
straight and rest part of the weight
of the body on the handlebars, instead
of the entire weight on the saddle.
Capt Black drew a sketch of his
idea of the low handiebar fiend. his
back on a parallel with the frame OF
his machine and his head down. Mr..
Schade suggested, that such man
would require handlebars three feet
below the saddle. He said in this con-
nection that he believed more accidents
occur with upturned bars. He said also
that there is not another city in the
country which has such a peculiar reg
ulation. ts
In reply to Mr. Schade,s question
whether visiting wheelmen would be
liable to an arrest and fine under the
measure. Mr.. Black stated that the reg
ulation no doubt would be so amended
as to exempt those tourists and visit
ors from this regulation. He said that
in Pittsburg the touring cyclists We're
exempt from all such local cycle law.
and that he would, therefore, advocate
the same here.
AT his hearing to-day Nr. Schade
will present further arguments to Com
missioner Black. He is very desirous
that the regulation against the low
bars be amended radically.

RACING OF THE COLLEGE CREWS,
Diplomatic Arrangement for Settling
the YaIe-Cornell Disputes.


the YaIe-Corncll Disputes.
New York, Jan. 1S.-It has been stated
on several occasions since Yale's decisive
reply 10 Cornell that there would be no race
between the three great crews at New Lon
don this year. Information has been re
ceived here, however, that there is likely
TO he a three-cornercd race between Yale,
Harvard and Cornell. on the Thames, dur
ing The third week in June.
The way this race will bc arranged is
simple enough. Although negotiat ions
between Yale and Cornell have been practi-
caily declared off, Yale ard Harvard have
agreed TO row dual race at New London
at that time. Harvard and Cornell have
also practically made arrangements for a
similar race, and as both Harvard and Cor
nell would rather row one race than two,
Harvard will now induce Yale TO merge
both races into one. In this way neither
Cornell nor Yale Will have to ma he any con
cessions, and tire test of the crews relative
strength will come off after all.
Cornell viii then be able T. row another
race, with Columbia and the University
of Pennsylvania. probably the same
course.

New York, Jan. 1S.-The Philadelphia

that league clubs are gradually turn
ing from the old custom of sending
their teams South. The Bostons are
thinking of going to Atlantic City. The
New Yorks have arranged to go to

as Ewing has number of veterans
on his team who need thawing out in

probably go somewhere South, while
the Pittsburgs and Clevelands expect
to train at Hot Springs. st. Louis and

games between the Eastern clubs in
