Poor Outlook at Old Penn.

Philadelphia. Pa, Oct. 22.-At Pennsyl-

TERRY A TRUE FEATHER.
McGovern willing to Bet $500 He
Can Do 40 Pounds in Ten Days.


Chicago, Oct. 22.-Terry McGovern is
a little fellow. to hear him talk. and
anybody who thinks he has outgrown
the true featherweight class and is no
longer able to make 122 pounds can
have $500 of his money so he says.
This proposition to- make this weight
was made by the little Brooklynite upon
his arrival in town. when he offered to
bet Harry Franks $500 that he would
make 120 pounds inside of ten days.
You are looking big, Terry" said
Franks, and then just to start some
thing Terry flashes roll as big as his
fist
IN bet you $500 that I can do 122
pounds in two weeks said I1ctIovern.
Yes III do better than that. I'll put
the money up right now to do 120
pounds inside of ten days, and this goes
for ANYBODY that thinks they can win
my money" ats N
McGovern is fulfilling a weeks en-
gagement at local theater, and yester-
day afternoon and evening boxed four
fast rounds with Billy Finucane, the
little west slider. The bout was fast
and spirited, although MeGovern held
in his punches, and allowed Finucane to
make good exhibition.
Terry Is anxious concerning his match
with Young Corbett and says he is
afraid somebody else will get to him
and manage to win before he has the
chance to regain his championship
laurels. McGoyern is pleased with his
matching with Benny Yanger. the local
boxer, and hopes a club will soon make
for the e.st after his theatrical engage
ment is out and will do his training
there for both the .Corbett and Yanger
fights.

DurnelI Not in Favor East.

New York, Oct. 22.-There was story
current at Morris park today that
Boots Durnell, who is a part owner of
the western colt MeChesney, was not in
the good graces7 of the French Jockey
club. and fort that reason his colt could
not race. on Jan eastern track, purnen
had his Jockeys. license revoked In
France a year ago, but he, was still per-
mitted to train race herses. which
would make it appear that there could
be no objection to- him here. The Cali
fornia jockey club, it is said, has re-
fused to allow his, horses to race there.
but the Western Jockey club. operating
the Chicago track, has never even con-
sidered DurnelPs good standing. Her
mis- and McChesney at Morris park is
out of the question now. but an effort
will be made to bring them together at
Bennings. Hermis worked mile and a
half between races today, his time for
the last mile being 1:4015.

big catcher at the time he signed received
a bonus of $500 in cash, and, If details are
necessary, the money was paid in one bill.
But while McGraw is remaining silent,
the American league is keeping New York
ers interested IN baseball The new or
ganization is constantly sending out re
ports that it viii put a team in this city
next year, and the persisteney of the re-
port leads all to believe that there is
more than mere talk to the story. The
latest news from the American league
camp is that Merlet Adkins the crack
Western ieaeue. has signed to pIav with 18th
the American league team in New York
next year. The story comes from Adkins
himself, so it amounts to something. sri
The Pfttsburg team may lose another
one of its stars. Clarence Beaumont, the
swift center fielder. it is said has been
flirting with the American league, and Ie-
ports say that if he is assured a place
on a. New York. team he will come here.
Harry Killillea. who signed Adkins, has
been authorized to offer Beaumont $4,000
for his years services.

a RECEIVER APPOINTED.
Baltimore Club Passes Out of Control
Of Ban johnson.

Baltimore, Oct. 22.-The fact that the
case of Henry S. RiDpell & Co., build
ers. against the Baltimore baseball and
athletic company, has reached the stage
of the appointment of receivers for the
affairs of the baseball company will be
regarded over the country as tacit ad-
mission that Ban Johnson, president of
the American league, mas developed his
plans for placing a club in New York
and abandoning Baltimore as baseball
city. BY the decision of Judge Stock
today appointing receivers for the Bal
timore baseball and athletic associa-
ton, the claim of RipDel & Co. takes
precedence of the assignment of the
lease of the grounds by the company to
Ban johnson, president of the American
league.
Whether the courts determine that
Johnson or the Baltimore baseball COM
pany controls the grounds matters not
in its relationship to the claim of Rip
pell the builder. 1t is apparent that had
Johnson had any idea of using the
grounds he would have taken steps to
satisfy PipDell & Co. That he permits
the advancement of the claims against
the grounds indicates that he does not
intend to use the grounds again, and
unless Manager Hanlon of the National
league comes to the rescue
The appointment of receivers is made
by the consent of the baseball company.
which acknowledges that a considerable
sum is due Rippell & Co.. which the
company is unable to pay, because Ban
Johnson created what he terms a for
fixture of the baseball franchise belong
ing to the COMPANY.

Tuesday afternoon that they are no

the hardest fought game in the history
of the college was played with the Has

furious from the start. The tactics eff
both teams were similar, alternate end

Beahany team was rather weakened
from several hard games last week. In
the first half neither team could claim
any advantage, but in the second Seth

Haskell seems to have played several

for the closeness of the game. 1t is
likely that many of the star players at
