 in Their Practice.

London, March 10.-The Oxford and Cambridge crews yesterday began their first weeks full work over the putney- -Mortlake course, in prepara- tion for the annual race between these two universities. which is to be decid- ed March 30. The weather was bit terly cold and northeast wind was blowing.
 The Cambridge crew was the first to float. The light blues put in a lot of hard work last week under the di- rectlon, of Muttlebury and showed some improvement. Although yester- days spin was regarded as a fair bit of work, it was noticed that the men did not keep the best of time. stroke side and bow side often differing
 Later Oxford appeared and rowed to Hammersmith and Chiswick, using q short boat. Their feathering was too high. and the strokes were not well pulled through.

Sporting men up and down Broad way are discussing the mysterious trips of Kid Mccoy across the ocean. Recently he has made three round ones, travelling by different steamers.

CHILDS IS DARING.

In the fight at Hot Springs Satur- day night between George Byers and Frank Childs, the latter in the fourth round stood perfectly still and let Byers hit him on the chin and mouth three times in succession, making no effort to defend himself or avoid the blows.

DAVE SULLIVAN TALKING.

Dave Sullivan. the well known featherweight boxer. is disgusted over the way he was shut out of a match with McGovern. In talking yesterday Sullivan said: "Terry is honest when he says he is willing to fight me, but Harris and his gang Of heelcrs are afraid to take a chance. Suppose somebody comes along and whips Me Govern. what would they dc for liv- ing? When I say believe I can give McGovern q hard fight I am sincere. I boxed with him when he was nov ice. and I don't think he is perfect yet Of course I'll admit that he has shown himself to he a wonderful Du- giliSt- but that suits me down to the ground. Fighting is filled with luck. It might be my luck to catch Terry on the point of the jaw with a swing or hook and down he would go. OS- car Gardner came near doing the trick and should have won on q foul, as Terry held him by the leg. I can punch harder than Gardner. as my hands are always good.

The race track war in the west came to sudden end yesterday when Thomas \. Williams bought Tanforan and Ingleside tracks of Prince Pona- toWiski for $60O,OOO. This offer was made a fortnight ago, but Ponato- wiski refused because he said he could not afford to desert men who had helped him to buy tracks. Since then he has been made helpless by Mayor Phelan's veto of the ordinance permit ting 1ngleside track to open Last week the ordinance allowing thirty-six days racing at Ingleside was passed, and so sure was Poniatowiski of the mayors approval that he brought all his paraphernala from Tanforan and announced racing for last Saturday. At the eleventh hour the mayor sent in the veto and the prince had the r1lortl- fication of seeing bookmakers arrested for betting. Poniatowiski expressed disgust over the mayors action and said it was hopeless to attempt to do anything with the local government blocking every move. Williams now practically controls racing in San Fran cisco, as he can carry on the sport at Tanforan and Oakland alternately.

PEDLAR PALMER BEATEN.

London. March 19.-In the National Sporting club last night Harry Harris of Chicago defeated ''Pedlar' Palmer of England on points in f1fteen-round boxing contest. Harris had the ad- vantage of nearly five inches in height. Both fighters were in splendid condi- ton. The match excited the greatest interest and was witnessed by a large crowd. Harris was the favoritc in the betting, the odds being to 4. In the opening rounds Harris had the worst of the exchanges. but from the fourth round he made the most of his extra reach, and in the sixth round he had his opponent in bad plight. The Engiishman showed indomitable pluck and in each of the five succeeding rounds went to. his corner in a daZed state. Toward the end Palmer made q gallant effort, and appeared to be as strong as his rival. but Harris renewed his left jabs to the face. and won a fine contest on points. Palmer was badly punished about the face, but his courage earned for him the applause of the spectators. So far as points were concerned, it was one-sided bat tie. Palmer failing to display his ac- cuStomed dash.

It looked as though he would be winner. but Handler was by no means out of reckoning.

The nearest equivalent we have for
