Sharkey was the first to enter the ring
and took his seat in the southwest
corner. Corbett followed shortly after

corner.
The referee GALES both men to the
centre of the ring and gives them their
instructions. Before either men reach
their corners the bell sounds and the
fight is on.
Corbett fiddles little and leads with

In the seventh round both men are
fighting like demons, Corbett leading

FAMILY CHAMPION TEAM.
A Powerful Foot ball Team Organized
With Members of Two Families.
Poe and Riggs.

1t is peculiar thing that there has
been another great foot ball family con-
nected with Princeton, which also came
from Baltm IRE, and that is the Riggs
family, and it has been stated with per-
feet truth that the Riggs and the Poe
families, without going outside the
male members of these families, could
put in the field foot ball team with
three substitutes which would, with
proper training, give the best Yale or
Princeton team very hard fight for the
championship.
In this connection it might be inter-
esting to make up such team from
these families, giving the heights and
weights, as judged from personal
knowledge Of the men.
1t will be noted that every member Of
these two families has played either on
the varsity foot ball team or the scrub,
while pursuing the Princeton course,
even those who are mentioned as sub.
stitutes.
The team that is mentioned has eight
former members of Princeton varsity
teams, and possible ninth in Gresham
Poe, 1902.
The members of the Riggs family are
as marked for their great physical size as
the Poes are for their diminutive stature.
This will be seen by noting the meas
urements in the accompanying table.
The Riggses are family of very high
standing in Maryland, and team com
prised of members OF these two families
would not only represent Princeton with
great credit on an athletic field, but
would be pride to her social or in.
tellectual life. Princeton counts herself
fortunate in having such families among
her boys. She fosters their memory and
hands down the history OF their names
to incoming classes as incentives to
faithful and brilliant work tor their
Alma Mater. The following is the posi-
tions the members OF the two families
would play.

CYCLING.

The final OF the Grand Prize race run
in Italy, October 30, was won by the
great French sprinter, Jacquelin, after a
Splendid fight by inches. Protin was
second. In the tandem race George
Banker and. Grogan finished third.
Tomaseli won the consolation race fir Iii
Jaap Eden.
AT the present there are nine bicycle
tracks and three more are under con-
str uction in Brazil. The last are all ce.
ment, and of the nine others four are
cement, two cinder, two macadan and
one brick. Races are held at night by
electric light at two of the tracks, while
some OF the others are lighted by coal
and acetyIene gas. Big meets are held
on Sundays and holidays. -ss.
On-the French liner now on the way to
this country are Stephane and Mona
chon, two other French cracks, who will
take part IN the sIx-day race. Latr on
it il expected that Jaap Eden, Gougoltz
and Newport, sprinters, will make the
trip in order to take part in the short
races at the Garden this Winter.
Two French petroleum pacing tandems
arrived yesterday on the steamship N. r.
mandie. They are consigned to Henri
Fournier, the French racing cyclist, who
came here some time ago with three auto-
mobiles. The tandems are built accord.
ing to the ideas Of Fournier, who has
made a study Of mechanically propelled
cycles.
The racing season in Paris has closed
and racing circuit has been planned by
several racing men in France, among
the number being George Banker, the
American. The circuit will start before
the end of the month and extend over
the South of France, Spain, Algeria and
Italy.
A comparison between the hour
record made by Elkesa Az Willow Grove
last August, behind human pacing, and
Huret's trial, behind petroleum tan.
dems with wind shields, made recently
at Paris, shows that he American rider
covered the equivalent of 55 kilometers,
S3l meters, as against the Frenchman's s
5c kilometers, 333 meters, difference of
2 miles and about 800 Yards.
An English company IS preparing to
place motor Tor bicycles on tine market
which, it is said, is extremely compact,
easily fixed in tht frame of any existing
roadster bicycle without interfering with
the pedaling movements of the legs, and
the weight will hardly exceed fifteen
pounds.
Eddie McDuffee, the worlds greatest
miudIe- distance rider, in an interview
states that he was badly misquoted re-
garding things that he said of Major
fayIore's recent record breaking trials.
He laughs at the report that he would
endeavor to wrest the records from the
darkey.
McDuffee is in Atlanta and goes to
New York this week, and wnen there he
may arrange to meet the winner of the
EIkes-Tayiore one-hour paced race of
Defender 3. His determination to do
SO will add great interest to the New
York indoor season.

BASE BALL PROSPECTS.
This City Will be Represented in
Atlantic League NEXT Season
by Reading Club.

Next year, in all probability, this city
will have something that has been needed
aud which will make all true sports
happy-a professional base ball club.
Several prominent business men here
have interested themselves in this d.
rection and have made a proposition to
the owners of the Reading team of the
Atlantic League to purchase the clubs
franchise and transfer the organization
to this city.
The cum offered is not quite large
enough at present, but that will very
likely be settled and it is almost sure
thing that the present Reading club will
next season bear the name Of Whining
ton. That this will be joyful piece Of
news to the base ball loving people here
there is little doubt.

Yale blames Captain Chambellin for
her defeats this season, the general
opinion being that the excellent material
was not inteligently used. The only
man on the Yale team who is given
credit is Ely, the quarterback, who had
rib broken and afierward got a shoulder
broken. He did not tell anyone of lis
injuries, although he was hardly able to
keep on his feet. In speaking OF EIy's
