DEATH OF NEW LEAGTE."

DEATH OE' IN " LE Att | E.
 Magnates Have Two Schemes Which
 are Calculated to Effect This Result.
 The National league nlagnates are laying plans to- head of the rival or g;lnization known as the National as sociatiol which was recently organ ized inH Baltimore. They have two schemes under consideration. One is to re-establish the twelve-club circuit which will take in Washington and Baltimore in the east and Cleveland and Detroit in the west. The other is #to. form an alliance with the Amer can league by which that body can expand it's circuit to the east. Ac- eording to the latest report, if this plan goes through, the American league will be made up next season of clubs in Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, in the east, with Chicago, Milwaukee, St Louis and Cleveland in the west. The National league will provide the grounds ill all the eastern cities and in St Louis and Cleveland. In other words, the American league schedule would call for games on the National league grounds in these cities while the big teams were on the road. This would provide continuous base ball in the cities which are expected to have franchises in the National asSo- ciatiOn an arrangement calculated to frighten off. prospective packers in the latte" circuit. y

Though the American league, 1hrou Sh, it's president, Ban Johnson, las agreed to limit the reserve rule

 The reserve rule or option clause, called, is the foundation Of protect cd base ball. Without it the game would be q failure.

 James J. Corbctt, unable to appfecf ate ti.e fact that ic has lost caste with the sporting world, cu:liinueS to talk about his alleged desire to light some body. Not satisfied with JcEries's Scl- siDle answer to his bombastic chal lenge, the other day. Corbett broke out again in Boston yesterday with tirade against his former manager. ". A. Brady, and the present heavyweight champion. Corbett declares that he made Brady and Jeffres what they are; that the former is an inCrate and the latter is both q coward and 6 chump. "Gcntlemap Jim also says that he will follow the champion and his manager around the country and will repeat his statements about them until they are forced to fight. Brady made Corbett. That is matter. of history, for Brady had the business tact to secure d match with John L. Sullivan when Corbett was practically funknown. Brady also made :Jeffries. for he matched him with Fitzsimmons when all the other heavyweights. in cluding Corbett. were afraid to tackle the Cornishman. Jeffries won the championship honestly and has de- fended it successfully. He knocked Corbett senseless in a fair, square, stand-up fight, and could probably do it again in much quicker time. if Gen tleman Jim' would agree not to run away. Sporting men do not believe that Corbett wants to fight again. If Jeffries should accept Corbett's chal- Ilenge it is probable that the "Pompa- dour Boxer" would impose such condi- tions that a fight would be impossible but in the meanwhile Corbett would succeed in further advertising him. self. Considering the fact that Cor bett and Mccoy have not vet disproved the charges. of fake lodged against them. by their wives. it would seem to be a sensible move if Sullivan's con. queror remained silent as to ring matters for the present at least

FIGIIlNG IN Ai1L-AOAA ftlA. Young Peter Jackson of San Fran
 cisco, made his first appearance in the cast last night at the Penn Art club
 i'll a siz,-round bout With Jimmy Hand Ter of Newark The bout early devel- oped into q rough and tumble, ill which Handler had all the advantage. Jd ckson has no claim whatever to J'i- tify the reputation which heralded his coming from the Pacific Slope. He | is Il fighter of the bruiser type pure and simple. He possesses no science whatever, and depends upon his aDii- lity to withstand an unlimited amount of punishment to carry him the neees-
 sary number of rounds. Handler was all over him from first to last, but
 made a mistake in attempting to put
 him out. In every round he caught
 him full on the jaw, with terrific lefts
 but seemingly they had no effect what
 ever. He is as much glutton' for
 punishment as Joe Wnlcott, but lacks
 the latter's skill and hitting powers. | Jackson was inclined to fight foul. All during the bout tic referee was
 obliged to separate him from Handler repeatedly. Jackson's style made him Ean easy man to reach With the left, 1 but Handler tried for knockout rather than being content with con- tinual jabbing. Jackson Is a one handed fighter. In the entire six
 rounds he did. not lead up his right l La,f q dozen times. His left is his { mainstay. and there is little cleyerness lin this In only one round, the fourth,
 did he reach Handler to any extent
 In the third fftli aud sixth Handler
 had the negro groggy from the effects tof his terrific puncing, but could not make any impression in the way of 2 knockout. The semi-wind-up between

Hours-Start at l O'clock at Latest.
 meeting of the challenge commit tee was held at the New York Yacht club yesterday afternoon to consider cablegram received from Sir Thon- as Upton. Some of the members who were unable to be present sent their views in writing and the decision of the committee on the question raised was Unanimous. Sir Thomas Lipton asked that the time limit of each race be six hours instead of five and one half hours. Previous to the contest last year the limit was six hours, but it was changed to five and one-half hours The committee decided that five and one-half hours should stand. The other request of Sir Thomas was that instead of the latest time for starting the races being ? o'clock 1t should be 1 o'clock. The committee agreed to this change. The cablegram from Sir Thomas is as follows: .. Oct IS, 1900.
