Jockey Arthur Redfern, whose services

scarcity of good riders has caused the big

and contracts with good Jockeys will
probably call for more money next year
than ever before. The boy began to ride

mo TW0.MINUTE HORSE.
Cresceus Seems to Have Little
Chance of Reducing His Own
Record This Season. = =

Cresceus, the greatest trotter the world
ever saw, appears to have little chance
of reducing his record this season. 1t was
believed that in Cresceus the country
had the long-sought two-minute trotter,
but the performances of the horse on the
few occasions he has appeared in public
this season, have not been such as to af-
ford any hope Of his getting below his
mark of last year.
J. 1t has rarely happened that champion
in any class has shown good form after
the year in which he made his record:
The great Sunol seemed likely to clip.
second or two off the record of Maud S.,
which stood so many years. but
after reducing the mark to 2:oSA
over kite-shaped track, the game
little mare retired into obscurity.
Arion, the great stallion which clipped
some seven odd seconds off the two-year
record was only. able to reduce this
mark a quarter of a second the next
season. What he might have done later
had he not been retired from the track
is a question. Nancy Hanks was never
heard from after she reduced the record
to '2:o4. Ali< broke down SO far.as racing
purposes were concerned, after clipping a
quarter of g. second from Nancy Hanks
figures.
The Abbot went lame the year after re-
ducing the tine{t '2:03A. Then Cresceus
lowered the figures to 2:V2N,. ana tnen 10
2:O2A. And Cresceus seems to have lost
in speed as did his predecessors.
Last year Cresceus was campaigned
from May. Is, 1901, to Jan. 3, 1902. He
travelled 1908 miles over the country and
was worked hard. from start to finish.
He was started sixty-one times, and last
year: he is said to have won $4,000 for
his owner.
After this hard campaign, Cresceus
was sent to an exceptionally vigorous
season in the stud. That this has re-
suited in a loss of stamina few will at
tempt to deny, and If Ketcham had the
opportunity OF driving the two-minutc
trotter, as many believed, he has 1ost it.

San Francisco the Only City Where
Championship Fights Can
-" r. Be Pulled Off.
Fighters Themselves Are Chiefly to
Blame for Their Expulsion
From New York City.

- These are sac" days for the pugilists
Almost every month another city closes
it's gates to the members Of the short
haired fraternity, and the scrappers are
now compelled to search high and low be-
fore they can find place where they will
be allowed to pull off fight Of any i'm
portance.
A good many cities, like Louisville,
seem to make no objection to a fight, pro-
vided it be not championship affair.
Many bouts have been pulled off in Louis
Vile during the last two or three years,
but when the, Aforementioned bout
was scheduled the courts said may, nay"
Cincinnati has had fights a plenty, but it
cost Jeffries and Rubin a pretty piece Of
money not to fight for the championship
there. =.
Possibly the. reason for the fuss that Is
so often raised over championship battles
is partly due to the greater amount Of
publicity given these bouts. This ad-
vertising naturally attracts the attention
of the class of citizens who object to such
! affairs, and inspires them to renew ed
efforts In agitating against the bouts.
| Just now San Francisco seems to be
| the only place where fight for the cham
! pionship can be pulled off. Little trouble
was experienced In holding the Jeffries-
Rubin and Jeffries- Fitzsimmons fights in
the Golden Gate city, and if the Californ-
ians do not get a surfeit of boxing, all the
big affairs may be put on In that. place
for the next few years.
'-..:: Fighters Are to Blame.
But If the prize fighters are barred from
! nearly every city in the country, who is
to blame? . The fighters themselves un-
! uuestionably. Without discussing the
i merits of boxing per Sc, it must be ad-
i mltted that the raw fakes perpetrated on
! the public have been primarily respon-
/ slble for the authorities knocking out the
game in many Places Notably was this
the case in New York, where under the

I But the promoters were not satisfied to
make money In a legitimate manner, but
they must needs fix a few bouts to separ-

after fake was perpetrated, and finally
after the McGovern- Dixon go some mem
bers of the New York legislature started
crusade for the repeal of the Horton
law.
The leaders in this movement stated
publicly that they acted not because Of
any objections to fighting per Sc, not be
cause they thought the sport brutal OF
! degrading, but because they were sat:

Cans Still In Bad odor.

Speaking Of fakes, MalachXsHogan in
the Chicago Record Herald, has the fol-
lowing, to say in regard to Joe Cans; light
weight champion by. the grace Of provtt7
dence: ~ rl% IS J..
1T takes a long time to live down a bad
reputation. The McGovern-Gans affair at
Tatersall's about two years ago was re-
called last week, when the police authori-
ties refused to permit the appearance Of
Cans in Chicago. The colored man was
billed to fight at the Chicago Athletic AS
ISOLATION. Although the club conducts
private bouts and does not ask the public
to patronize them, the authorities seemed
to think that even the presence of Cans
was bad, and the champion of the light
weights lost the match.
Probably the reason for the action was
not SO much. Cans appearance at pri-
vate bout as the report that Manager Al
HEREFORD would again break into the game
| IN Chicago, with his fighters. If HEREFORD
came there. would probably be much no.
! tice taken Of the fact and the Tattersall' s
scandal would probably be dug up. I'm
doubtedly Cans would like to live down
the Tattersalls affair, but it bobs up
every time his name is mentioned In Chi
cago."
One of the most popular bouts in a long
| time would be a match between Tommy
Ryan and Jack O'Brien for the middle
weight championship. O'Brien is certain
ly the logical man to oppose Ryan, and
he should give the champion a harder
battle than, the latter has had for some
time. O'Rrien is not as fast as Ryan, moi
as clever, but he has a shade the better
