one he will recognise; also, that It would
be the height of folly. as well as egotism,
for a real champion to presume to make
matches with three different persons at
the same time for title which might be
wrested from him by the first man he
faced in the ring; while 1t Is the height OF
presumption, as well as a larnentable ex'
hibition of ignorance Of sporting law and
usage, for a boxer who, whatever his quail
tiles as fighter may be, certainly has no
sort Of claim upon the championship, to un-
dertake to make any match for the title.
The challenge upon the result OF which he
bases his claim was not open to all, but
was directed solely at Bob Fitzsimmops
and Jim Corbett, neither Of whom had
longer anything to do with the champion
ship. On the contrary. the challenge issued
on behalf Of Peter Maher by the latter's
hacker was open to everybody. while Nc
Coy was the man at whom 1t was especially
aimed; therefore. Mahers challenge is re-
ally the only one before the public that COW
ers the title, and the man who accepts 1t
will undoubtedly be entitled to make a
match with Peter for the championship,
and that match will be the only one that
can fairly be regarded for that position.
Under the circumstances, II Mccoy is not
fearful of the consequences Of match
with Maher. and Is not looking for some-
thing softer and less liable to upset his fu-
ture plans, he should have been quick to
avail himself of the only opportunity that
offers for him to reach the top by the di-
rect and only road now open.

INSIDE THE RING

According to q dispatch from st. Louis
Mo-, dated March 5th, "Kid' Mccoy, in an
interview with reporter there, after his
return from his bloodless victory at Hot
Springs, Ark, declared himself as fol-
lows:
II have $4,000 which says l stand ready to
meet any man in the world. Three have ac-
cepted my defi-Maher, Choynski and Ruh-

he will be ready to make matches with

1t is in order here, says the New York

Jimmy Michael, the pride Of Wales, on
February 9th visited Gravesend, N. r.,
and took a spin on one Of the horses quar-
tered at the track of the Brooklyn Jockey
club-his first mount on thoroughbred In
this country. There have been rumors
that he intended to combine jockeyship
with wheeling this season, but he denies
this saying that he has made no plans for
horse racing this year. He will probably
start for the west in a few days, there
to ride a number of exhibitions on his
favorite "silent steed"
Arthur A. Zimmerman was to have de-
parted for Mexico on March sth, where he
has engaged to ride series Of exhibitions,
which will extend until the time for the

The International Cyclists association,
says the San Francisco Report, has de-
cided to hold the worlds championship
races at Vienna on September 4th, Sth and
llth. The selection of these dates meets
with the approval of all governing cycling
associations, particularly the l.. "A. W., as
it will enable the American riders to COM
pete in the annual l.. A. w. meet and also
take part in the championship events. The
fact that two of these days fall on Sunday
does not seem to have disturbed the equan-
unity of the l.. A. w. Consistency is evil

in the L. A. W. jewel case.
The Canadian Wheelmen's association
will consider some radical changes OF gov
ernment at the annual meeting, to be held
early in April. The abolition of pacemak-
ing will be recommended. Strong argu-
ments will be advanced for the classifca-
tion of racing men according to their rec
ords. The recognition Of only competi-
tive times in the official records and the
adoption of a strict amateur definition
will be considered. The Canadians intend
to make a determined stand for clean,
honest racing this year.
Tom Linton, who Is now In America,
forming one of the foreign contingent who
are golng for the plums, is something OF
worker, but somewhat erratic withal In
his methods. After riding 81 miles yards
in the hour on London track on Satur-
day, he crossed the channel and next day
rode so miles against Lesha In the after
noon, and in the evening of the same day
met and defeated Bouhors in a distance
race.
F. w. Chinn denies the report that he In

to represent them in England this season.
The new indoor track at Antwerp, which
