SLOANE GAN RIDE.
He Has Secured License From the San Francisco Club.


 Tod Sloane was not long in getting back into the limelight. He reappears with a jockeys license, granted by the San Francisco Jockey club. The license has been issued with the un- derStanding that it will be null and void in the event of Lne Jockey club acting on the ruling of the English Jockey club and denying to grant a license to Sloane. It seems to be up to Sloane to say whether the Jockey shall take any action in his case. If he does not apply to the Jockey club for q license there is no reason why this body should go any further Tod now has license in California. It is said that he will have no difficulty in obtaining a license from the Western Turf congress. This being the case he can spend his winters in California and his summers on the tracks in the middle west.
 This arrangement practically would spell exile for q boy like Sloane, who i has q reputation and who has been a star rider ill two Eemisphcrcs. The gates of the English racecourScS are closed to him. To press his case in England, or to seek an opening in France or on the New York tracks can do no good, but may do much harm. The west is q haven of refuge for him. Until such time as the Eng fish Jockey club consents to raise the ban which it has placed on him he must bo content to ride there. He is fortunate in that he is allowed to ride | there. Many good boy set down has no such haven open to him. Wisdom | dictates that Sloane should watch and wait His case is far from hopeless. | If he has many enemies, he has one or two powerful friends in England as well as here, and it may be that his banishment will not be long. Much | depends on himself.

KID ATCOY OPERATED.

Kid Mccoy says he wants to fight Jetfries, Corbett, Ruhlin, Sharkey or EitZsimmons and is pretty certain that ne car. beat any of them ito death,' as the talent says. \ well known ring patron spoke of Mccoy yesterday in this way: What chance has Mccoy got U lick any of these men! He was knocked out by Corbett, who w;Is beat en by Sharkey. who was knocked out by I.uhlin and Fftzsimmons in jig time. lie had a tough time of it with Euhiin in q twenty-round bout several V 4;Irs age, when Gus was a greenhorn. iicTn' Though the Kid got the decis- ion, he would have been whipped had the mill gone to d finish. Would he have a chance with EitZ? Not in a million. Could he hurt Jeff? Never. Getting right down to hard facts, ,iId he lick Choynski on the level? If it had not been for the mistake of Time keeper Dunn, ChOynski would have scored q knockout yet Joe Walcott knocked ChoynSki cold in the same ring not long afterward. Can Mccoy beat Walcott? Joe's manager. Tom O'Rourke, once posted 5000 to bind q match with Mccoy. but the latter drew the color line. Coming to cases, dil Mccoy ever beat anybody in his life that was of consequence, barring Tommy Ryan. Peter Maher and poor Tan Creedon? Didn't Ryan give the Kid the hottest kind of q '.go" at Chi cago last winter? Was it not Jack Bonner, fat and slow. who made the Kid blink last year? Mccoy says that Corhett beat him on the level. and ac- cording to form this would seem to be the ease The Kid has been overrated and c'everly boomed. When it is con sidered how little he has accomplished in the IriZc ring. his prominencelin Du- Cilism is astonishing"

Young Barr Dies of His Injuries and the Authorities Take a Hand in the Game-Kid McCoy's Talk of Fight ing One of the Heavyweights Gre ates No Stir-Spike Sullivan's Idea of Running Fights-A Female Ref cree Picks a Winner
 Philadelphia, Dec 24.-Philadelphia has closed it's door to the puglnStS. When the facts concerning the death of Edward Sanford, tue 1S-year-old pu- gilist who was carried unconscious from the ring Of the Athletic club Sat urday night after his bout with Joe Kelly. were reported to Director Eng fish this morning. he issued an order revoking all permits previously grant ed for Sparring contests and closing all boxing clubs ill the city for the present.
 The order was directed to Superin- tendent of Police Quirk. and was com- municated to the various police cap tainS and lieuteuantS, with strict in StructionS that they were to See that no sparring exhibitions of any kind or for any purpose took place. The di- rectOr'S order came as a great surprise. Willie it does not state how long per mits are to be withheld. it is thought that it will be some time before boxing contests again will be witnessed in this city.
 The news that the clubs had been closed got out within a short time after the order was issued and spread among the sporting fraternity like wilGfire. The sports were greatly sur priScG and the club owners refused 10 believe that the order had been is sued until they learned of it through official sources. Many of the dozen or more clubs in the city had shows scheduled for tonight or some night during the week.
 Some of the. club owners expected that the clubs would be closed. but they did not think the order would go - into effect on such short notice. They hoped to have week in order to pull off whatever shows they had arranged so that they might be able to quit without being in a hole financially. A copy of the order as it was sent out by Director English was served by the different lieutenantS upon the prODrie- tors of clubs in their districts and. al though it is thought no efforts will be made, by any of the clubs. to pull off a show, they will bc watched closely.
 While there is no doubt that San fOrd'S death was the direct cause of tlIe directors decision to close the clubs. it is thought such action has hHen under consideration since the death of Steve Flana gan, who died un. der similar circumstances only a few months ago. At the time of FIana- @an'S death, it is said- Birector Eng fish decided to close all the clubs. but after Investigating the case thorough ly. he concluded to withhold the order
 I l.e exact cause of the death of San ford. who fought under the. name ot Frank Barr. will not be made public by the coroner until the inquest to 11Crrow. The report that his skull vas fractured is erroneous Frank Her derson. manager of the club. who acted as referee. yesterday was re leased in S1.0O0 bail.

The Puritan Breaks a Shaft.

FALL RIVER, Mass, Dec. 24.-The steamer Puritan of the Fall River line arrived here with broken shaft. The break was discovered in New York, but as it was not a bad one it was decided that she should make her regular trip to this city. After the passengers and freight had been discharged she proceed ed to Newport, where repairs will be made, and it unlikely that she will re- sume her place upon the line before next spring. The steamer Priscilla will take the Puritan'S place.

STANDING OF THE CLUBS.

The Meriden Record tells the story of Saturday nights game as follows:
 Meriden lost Saturday nights game to Waterbury by a score of to 5, the visitors clinching the game at the start by scoring three goals in four minutes, while the local quintet Seem- ed to be slow. From then, however, better polo was never seen here, both teams playing fast and furious. mixing it up just enough to Keep the crowd eX- cited. and it was after twenty-five minutes of all kinds of polo before the next goal was made. The game was played under protest. as Referee Leahy allowed Jean time to go off the floor and fix his skates, while Goal Tend Fox broke his skate on purpose to give the big center time, Leahy also gave HolderneSS time to repair, which is against the rules, as q game is only stopped for goal tenders when their skates are broken.
 Referee Leahy failed to show up when time for the game to start. and Referee Hart of the shop league off ciated. The game started with Lewis winning the rush, and it only took Russell 36 seconds to cage the first goal, and he also caged the second goal in less. time than that. The visitors were playing a fast game. while the home team seemed a little dOpey. Rus sell was again able to put the ball be- hind Heffernan after four minutes of | play, and things looked pretty bad for | the locals, with a score of to 0 against them, when they finally rallied and for twenty-five minutes gave Par l sons aggregation q scare. Both teams 1 played fast and scientific polo, and | Pierce, by a. hard drive from center, caged the first goal for Meriden, and the crowd yelled like demons, which put new life into the Meriden team, and Curtis added the next goal to our | list. and things did not look so bad
 But Russell was mean enough to dc the trick again for Waterbury. After
 few moments more Curtis distin guished himself again by caging the
 ball amid enthusiasm of the rooters l who cheered and cheered again for the | locals to tie the score. but the time was
 too short, neither side being able tC
 score again. But as the game was played under protest, things may look
 different after the league considers | the matter. The score:

"SPIk F. SULLIVAN'S IDEAS.

''Si itc'' Sullivan is anxious to see an association formed, presided over by honest sportsmen and pubilists for self protection. Spike" says it is the only way to stop the cry of fake. protect the sport from crooks and dishonest rings and prosper the sport as it de- serves. The idea is all right, but it's accomplishment is as far off as the millennium. It may be possible to have the state control the sport, and that is it's only chance. z

Hartford outplayed New Haven very easily on the floor and it was the phe- nomenaI work of Lations that saved his team from an utter rout.

SOME WRESTLING NOTES.

l. New York, Dec 24.-Wrestling, If properly conducted, bids fair to be popular, in this citY in the absence of
 boxing. Fake fights, however have made the sporting public wary, and should there be the slightest suspicion = alta ched to some of the coming wres- ting events there would be sudden death for the sport. There are several wrestlers before the public who have been mixed up in fakes and have been hooted by crowds that paid liberally to see honest bouts. ' It behooves the pro- moters,. therefore, to refrain from jug gling' and give to their patrons what the latter pay for. ''.'--
