win Swim English Chasne1.

BOSTON, Dec. 25.-HenrylS. Koran, the
South, Boston swimmer. states that he
has made plans to swim across the Eng
lish channel next summer. He will start
for England early next March, intend-
ing to femain in that country three or
four months in order to become accli-
mated and to G,tin. His attempt to
swim to the French shore viii be made III
late June or early July.
Ioran said: Il know 1t will be a big
thing to do, aJld a hard one, but 1 am
sure I can do it. My belief is that sew
eral OF the failures of others to swim
the channel has largely been due to their
lack of preparation and decentralization.
In these particulars | shall be very care
full, therefore, and shall not make the at
tempt until 1 feel chat L am in thorough
condition, even if l wait until late IN
the summer, although I do not think that
that will be necessary"

TERRY BEGINS AGAIN.
Big List Of Trainers Will Fit Nc
Govern for Next Fight.


TERRY" McGovern, who hopes to add
"Dave" Sullivan's scalp to his collection
on Jan. 80. has decided to train at Hemp
stead, N. Y, and has selected train
ing quarters ON the edge of the Hemp
stead plains, in the midst of the swell
Meadow Brook hunting colony. Terry s.
string of trotting horses already is there.
McGovern will go into training after
his theatrical company disbands at Bos-
ton The cottage that he has rented is
back of August Belmont'S country seat,
and in close proximity to the Kernochan,
Kennedy, Bird, Havemeyer, Ripley and
MADDEN residences The cottage is small
having but six rooms, and just where
''Terry's' trainers and helpers are going
to be slowed is problematical.
His training family will consist of
Sam Harris, Danny Dougherty. his
sparring partner; Terry Lee, Charley
Kelly and Charley" Mathew. Chris
Martin has charge of the horses, and
''Terry's' younger brother, Phil" is
also with them. The training quarters
are located admirably, and if Terry
wants an unobstructed run of ten miles
he can start across the plains without
encourtering a fence or tree.
Should he want rough country and min
jature mountain climbing the Wheatley
nils and HarDOr hill are on toward the
north, some eight miles away. There is
a barn in the rear of the cottage, which
will be used for sparring bouts.
It could not be learned just what the
Meadow Brook colonists think of the
pugilist's advent, but it recalls the days
of John L. Sullivan before he fought Cor
bett. Duncan Harrison, Sullivan's train
er, picked out pretty little cottage sit
uated between the country seats OF
Oliver w. Bird and Sydney Dillon Rip
ley for training quarters. The two mil
lionaires Gid not fancy having Sullivan
for a neighbor and dubbed together and
bought the whole property outright-NeN

PALDING'S LATEST
PRESIDENT SECRETARY TREAs.
URER OF NATIONAL LEAGUE
Is NOT QUITTING
SIMPLY AWAITING A DECISION
Statement of Mr.. Freedman,s Attor.
ney Looked Upon as Having No
Weight in Law or With
the Public.

WASHINGTON, Dec 25.>AssM Spald-
ing left here this evening TOT South
Carolina, but before leaving gave out a
statement in answer to the communities
ton given out by Andrew Freedman s
attorney regarding Mr.. SpaIding's an
nouncement that he would not act fur
ther as MISUNDERSTANDING of
the National Baseball league. Mr.. Spald-
ing says in part:
Mr.. Freedman's attorney is at per-
feet liberty to make any deduction from
that letter he pleases, but it speaks for
itself The quotation that this New York
attorney makes from my letter is as mis-
leading as every thing that Mr.. Freedman
has done since this baseball controversy
commenced. If he had preceded his quo
tation that I must refuse to act further
as president-se cretary-treasurer of the
National league with the words pending
the decision of the court he would have
shown a stronger disposition to quote
my letter correctly.
EARLY on Dec. IA was informed by a
committee of the National league that
I had been unanimously elected presi-
dent of that organization on that date
Col. John l. Rogers, a prominent attorney
of Philadelphia, has assured me that
that election was regular and legal A
similar opinion has been expressed by my
personal attorney, Alfred w. Kiddle, Of
New York.
Believes He Is Legally Elected.
81 believe I am the legally elected
president of the National league, and
as 1 consider the opinions as quoted above
as good as the opinion of Mr.. Freed
mans attorney, I shall continue to be-
lieve myself the legally elected president
Of the National league until.some court
of competent jurisdiction shall decide 9TH
erwise. Pending this final decision and
in accordance with the order of the SUI
preme court of New York, I am tenn
porarily restrained from acting as the
president-Secretary- treasurer of the Ma
tional league, and l must bow to the
majesty of the law and comply with the
courts order.
81 have instructed my attorney to do
anything in his judgment he may deem
necessary to make a proper answer at
the proper time to any and all charges
that may be preferred by Mr.. Freedman
and all those who, for personal reasons,
seem to deem 1t necessary to continue
their association with him in these legal
proceedings.
81 have instructed my attorney to insist
that the case be brought to trial. ana not
permit it to be dismissed until final
decision has been reached. Mr.. Freed
mans attorneys insinuation that the is
suance of a temporary injunction upon
the hearing only of Mr.. Freedman'S si6g
of the case settles the case in Mr..
Freedman's favor is too ridiculous to
treat seriously, and was given out prob
ably for the purpose of throwing dust
in the eyes of the baseball public and
to try to befog the real issue and also
to stampede the four clubs that are= re-
spensibie for my election"
The statement closes with a sharp at
tack on Mr.. Freedman and his methods
as baseball magnate.

Mr.. Conant of the Boston National

that his ground for declaring Mr.. Freed
man out of the league was the New York
mans attitude toward the league UNI

the acts of any member when accused by
the president of the league. Until Mr.
Spalding started his crusade against the
New York man there was no protest

AMERICANS TO PLAY POLO.
United States Team VIII Appear in
Coronation Games.

NEW YORK, Dec 25.-It has finally
been decided that the United States will
be represented in England in June at
the series of sports in connection with
the coronation ceremonies by a polo
team.
After mature deliberation the invita-
ton of the Nottingham club, to the Polo
association, was acted upon, and an
acceptance will be sent this week by H.
L. Herbert, chairman of the association.
The American team will probably be
made up principally of members of the
Lakewood team, which won the cham
pionship last season, and which includes
the strongest and highest handicapped
players in the states FoXhaH Keene,
who will captain the American forces, 1t
is said, will be accompanied by Messrs.
Lawrence and V. M. Waterbury Jr., John
E. Cowdin and r. l.. Agassiz.
The first four named are members of
the Lakewood team, and Mr.. Agassiz be-
longs to the Myopias, of Hamilton, Mass.
Messrs. Cowdin, AgassiZ and Keene have
all played in England and France. The
proposed team viii be the first to go
abroad with the sanction of the Polo as
ISOLATION.
Aside from entries being made for the
tourney by the foremost county and cav
airy teams in England, there are expect
America and France.
In addition to taking part in the coro-
nation tournament the American team
will play at Ranelagh, and attempt to re-
gain possession of the challenge cup,
which was won by Newport twenty years
ago and carried to England by Sir John
Watsons team.
The five men named as prospective
members Of the team have between them
about thirty-five ponies, but it is expect
ed that George Gould, Clarence Mackay,
II. P. Whitney and A G.. Vanderbilt will
render the players the pick of the many
fine animals in the stables of each.
The ponies which will, be arrayed
against them will be of various breeds,
English, Indian, Arabian and in some
cases American.
1t is hoped that the American players
will have the feetest ponies in the tour
pey.

Athletic Club Directors Yield to De-
mand of Chicago Press.


CHICAGO, Dec. A.-The officials of the
Fort Dearborn Athletic club have called
off the Childs- Walcott match and issued
the following, giving their reasons for
so doing:
'.In view of the fact that the press OF
Chicago almost unanimously deems 1t un-
desirable that Walcott should be allowed
to box 1nere the directors of the Fort
Dearborn Athletic club have decided not
to match him. The original intention was
to match him and Childs before the Chi
cago Athletic association. but mis- terms
proved too high for this private club.
Consequently we thought somewhat OF
putting him on at our initial show. How
ever, we deferred to the wishes OF the
public, although we personally think 1t
would be a good bout. as Childs would
make him extend himself to the utmost.
st is also possible that the date of
our snow may be brought forward one
week-namely. Jan. IA, instead of Jan. FL.
This being done to promote harmony, and
at the request of the management of the
building.

Match With Tom jenkins.

Match With Tom jenkins.
James Parr, the English wrestler, who
I is making a great effort to secure a
match with Champion Tom Jenkins,
comes from Lancashire, England the
home of catch-aS-catch-can Lancashire
Style) wrestlers. He was born in town
called Wigan, and within mile Of the
homes of such famous wrestlers as Joe
Acton, Tom Connors, Soap Winsenley
and Charley Green. Bulldog Clayton s
home is about five miles from Wigan in
a town called Farnworth.
Speaking of wrestling in England and
English wrestlers, Parr said:
Every good wrestler turned out in
England comes from Lancashire. Catch
as-catch-can, you know, is called Lam
cashire style. All the Lancashire Wrest-
lers are miners, and most of them worked
in the coal mines before becoming pro-
fcient at the game.
"After getting through their days
work in the mines you can in any kind
of weather see young fellows settling a
wrestling dispute in field They don't
ask for mat, but go at it with might
and main on the bare ground. You can
always tell Lancashire man when you
see him strip by the old scars on his
arms, knees and other parts of the body.
These are the results of his carly matches
in the fields of old Lancashire"
Parr carries many an ugly looking ridge
on his body. showing plainly that he has
''seen service. -
EngIishmen Train Hard.
Gin England the wrestlers are forced to
undergo more severe course of training
than do the Americans.
when a match is made in England
each wrestler is obliged TO train for five
weeks. and for the last three weeks a
trainer is with him all the time, on the
road, in the gymnasium and he sleeps in
the room with his man. The trainer is
hired by the hacker at 30 shillings week
and board. He is supposed to watch his
charge all the time and is held RESPONSE
BILE for his condition.
"a day on which an important match is
to come off in Lancashire, is a big day.
1t is almost like a holiday. Hundreds of
people come in from all neighboring
towns, and the keenest interest is mani
tested in the contest. great deal of
betting is done On these matches and
hundreds of pounds change hands. When
1 wrestled Bulldog Clayton for the
championship last August. there were
