BASE BALL NOTES.

Mcclure is the dean of National league players. He admits to 3S years in this vale of sorrows and foul tips, says W. A. Phelon. Please do not overlook Grandpa Van Haltren.
 Grandpa Anson has arranged new scheme to worry J. A. Hart, who caused the old man to depart from the Chicago team. His game is to plant team on the West Side, to be mem- Der of the Western league. What halts the deal. however, is the fact that uncle thinks his name so grand a card that he ought to have 50 per cent of the plunder without risking q cent of his own. This makes the other pro- moters feel dubious. Uncle Anson's glee over the idea is undiluted. To settle on the West Side with club which. if it plays good ball, will take away some of Jim Hart's trade. seems to him intensely enjoyable. He is all ready figuring on q fine team, and

KEENE MAY WIN.
Fournier Says American Will Garry
 Off French Honors.

IUuFuler says Amerlcan VIII CaFfy
 Off French Honors.
 Although it is seven months off, Foxhall F. Keene has been picked as the winner of the Paris-Vienna auto- mobile race, which is to take place next June. William K. Vanderbilt, Jr, is named as a close second. No mat ter which wins, it will be the first time that an American has entered q contest abroad, for it is MT Keene's intention to rip the atmosphere up the back in an automobile constructed nn- der the supervision of Henri Fourner.
 The French chauffeur is of the opin- ion that his countrymen will be beaten at their own game by the Americans, and that Foxhall Keene will be ihe first to do it in the 900-mile run. He Is coaching MT Keene now, and has great admiration for his steady nerve and excellent judgment. He believes that. while Mir Vanderbilt will defeat the chauffeurs of all other countries, and that the race with the other Amer jean will be close, MT Keene will come out ahead.
 Fournier intends to make his home in New York and go into the building of automobiles on an extensive scale He is confident that he can reduce inc time to thirty-two seconds. Marvel ous as this statement appears, Fourn- fer says it can be accomplished. The carriage Wfll have to be longer and lighter than those now used for .ac- ing and carry one person only. If the machines now in vogue were capable of reaching such terrific speed they would bound off the ground and be racl<ed to pieces
 The race in which MT Keene and M.. Vanderbilt have been entered will in- clude all the prominent chauffeurs from every country in the world in which automobiles have been con- structed or are in use.

 Patsy Sweeney, who furnishes the first bout on the program with Jlln Burke, of New York. is also training here and expects to put up q contest that will put Burke far into ureali- land, although Burke is strong, es- pecially under punishment, which he rather seems to like. If it were not for the importance of the McGovern- Corbett affair, the go between Burke and Patsy would attract as much at fention as any other star bout. but on account of being on the same bill its value is lost sight of.
 The affair will begin at 3:30 Thanks giving afternoon and will be carried through without delay. A few days before the all important day the work will be begun of erecting the stalls at the ringside. Each stall will contain eight chairs. which will sell for S10 each.

Edlnburgh, NOV IJ.-In a 3UU-yar1 swimming contest here yesterday J.. Nuttall covered the distance in min- utes and 40 seconds, which breaks the worlds record for the distance. The value of the above performance as q record depends upon the number of turns made in swimming the distance. !. IT.

''It is the first time in my career teen minutes without gaining the fall.''
 This is what Harvey Parker recent ly said at Baltimore.
 Harvey Parker of Brockton, Mass, who is the unquestioned 145 pound champion of the world. was billed to met two men. His first opponent was William Jenkins, big fellow, and Parker put him on his back in less than half minute.
 The second aspirant proved to be a boy not yet IS years old. He weighed about 145 pounds and few of the spec tators thought he would have ghost of show to stay fifteen minutes with Parker. but he did it.
 The announcer said the young wrestler was known as "Americus."
 When he appeared upon the stage he proved to be Edward Williams.
 Parker was to throw "Americus" in fifteen minutes or forfeit $25. Parker went at his man and i'll less than half q minute Williams showed his game. He went to the mat and worked on the defensive.
 Parker tried every possible way to put him on his back, but failed. Then he encouraged the youngster to do some aggressive work. but the boy would not do it. Then Parker went at him fiercely.
 Williams stayed the full fifteen min utes and was not in Jeopardy at the finish. Throughout the match Will Hams showed no sign of being able to throw Parker

o'BR1EN WHIPS CRAIG.

London. Nov 19.-There was great interest in the fight last night at the National Sporting club between Jack O'Brien and Craig. The fight. how ever. soon turned into a miserable show. Craig, who had scarcely deliv+ cred half q dozen blows in twenty five minutes, practically refused to fight, clutching O'Brien around the waist time after time. He went down four times in the fourth round, and then passed as much time on the floor as on his feet. He was cau- tioned repeatedly in regard to falling when O'Brien had not struck him q blow. Craig was finally disqualified in the middle of the seventh round, in which he had gone down four times.
 Kid Mccoy and McKeever have challenged the winner. It is prob able that q match will be arranged be- tween McKeeyer and O'Brien.

JEFFRIEs DRAWS COLOR LINE

JEFF SIES DRAHS OOLOR LINE.
 Champion Jeffries has drawn the color line so far as the heavyweight title is concerned.
 When asked if he would fight Den- yer Ed Martin, Madden's negro cham pion. if he beat Ruhlin, Delaney chimed in by saying: ''No, we won't fight negro for the championship. There never has been battle for that title in the heavyweight class in this country and Jeffries is not going to open the ball. Suppose he were to fight Martin and bn defeated, which does not seem possible, America w. have to bow to a negro champion. Oh, but what Is the use of talking about it? It will never happen and you can put that in your hat for future refer ence''
 But" said a listener, 'Jeffries fought Armstrong. Peter Jackson, and only recently. Hank Griffin"
 'sThey were not championship bat ties, were theyf'' retorted Billy.
 As Jeffries has little to fear from Martin or any other black in the ring, he places himself in q weak position when he excludes negroes. If black man is good enough to fight with, he is good enough to have the champion ship. provided he can win it.
 George Dixon held championships for many years, and there was no spe- cial humiliation observable.
 From social standpoint there may be objections to color. but in the game of knockout fighting ability alone should be considered
