from being his intention of retiring
from the ring, as has been reported. He

chance to meet kid" Carter, who
gave him such severe beating in

termlned to prove that he is far from
being back number and that he can
Still battle as well as he could few
years ago, when he was looked upon
as championship possibility. In ius-
t1ce to the Kid it should be said
that he was hardly il fit condition to
meet rugged fighter like Carter. The
life OF ease that he has been living for
couple Of years past has practically
unht him for bruising battle without
nara course of training Realizing
that he has lost much of his former
prestige he has started in to nut him

! OF the world in all distances from so
| yards to five miles. Donovan was
born in South Glens Falls, N. Y. May
3, 1875, stands feet ga inches in
| height and when in condition weiyhs
l32 pounds. Donovan has been walk
ing races for the past seven years and
up to date has won 420 races He has
| walked upon $50 outdoor tracks and
LOO indoor tracks, and has openly de-
feated over 900 of the fastest walkers
in the world including all the cham
pions Of England, Ireland, Scotland
Germany, France, Australia, Canada,
and America. Donovan's stride meas
ures 40 inches, and when at full speed
he steps over four times a second COW
erins as much as 20 feet of ground
per second in a short distance. Cham
pion Donovan will handicap any walker
in the world in any distance fror4 100
yards to five miles. Expert judges agree
that Donovan is as square a walker
as the world has ever seen.
In addition to the above Donovan
has broken every worlds record from
80 yards to miles, and has competed
against single, tandem and triple BIZ
cycles, trotting, pacing and running
horses, also men running, and has
never been defeated. A better idea
can be gotten of Donovans wonderful
squirt when it is known that he has
walked 100 yards in 15 seconds.
Donovan made an extended tour of
the Pacific coast and the west last
winter winning every race he started
in, including the 10-nile worlds cham
pionship in Milwaukee. Upon his re-
turn home Feb. 10 he walked a 10
mile race against Ed Weier. champion
OF New Jersey, giving Weier one
eighth of mile handicap, and won
by one yard; time, / hour, 90 min
utes. March he walked a nine hour
race against H. o. Messier of Min
neapolis, champion of the west and
won by one lap, covering "a 12 miles.
During the sX-day race from March
10 to IS in Philadelphia he won six |
races, one race each day, and then |
acting upon the advice Of physician |
and fearing a collapse Donovan decid- |
ed to take much-needed rest at his |
home in South Glens Falls, where he |
resides with his parents.

after the Jetfries-Ruhlin fight and the
champion was in a well-known San
Francisco resort buying wine, when
gentleman, whom no one seemed to
know. approached Jeffries and said:
'Mr. Jeffries, want permission to
send you bouquet of flowers The
big fellow smiled his assent, and with
courtly bow the stranger disap-
peared. In short while the door of
the place flew open and boy entered
with a huge bouquet. Attached to
the same was card which said: In
memory Of poor Jack Dempsey, whom
saw drinking wine like you when
in the height of his glory, while to-day
he lies in an unmarked grave, forgot
ten, and his children paupers.' From
a gay. hilarious gathering the crowd
sobered into thoughtful aggregation.
One OF them finally suggested that it
would be well to take up collection
to build headstone to mark Demp.

tomary generosity every man there
went down into his pockets and a
goodly sum was at once subscribed"

AMATEUR GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP
Description of Glen View, Where Big
Tourney Started This Mornino

With representative field and a cham
pionship course, the only requisite for the
success of the national amateur golf cham
pionship which began this morning at Glen
View, near Chicago, is the weather. Recent
rains have kept things backward, and sun
shine is needed to dry out the ground and
harden the green's. With it the tournament
promises to be the most successful yet held.
The links occupy tract of 200 acres thir-
teen miles north of Chicago and five miles
west of Evanston. The north branch of the
Chicago river passes through the propertv.

Coliseum Races Postponed.

1t is evident that misfortunes are not
coming singly to the Coliseum, despite
Manager Osgood's persistent efforts to
avert them. 1t appears now that the
Champion Mclean contest announced for
tonight must be postponed until tomorrow
night. This information is contained in
telegram received by Mr.. Osgood today as
follows:
Postpone race to Wednesday. Held up
here PAT SHEEHAN.
TIM HURST"
This is all Mr.. Osgood knows about ii at
this time He apprehends, however, that they
are having some trouble with the machines.
nothing else would have been permit
ted to delay the arrival of the men. 1t was
the understanding in entering into the con-
tract that neither Pittsburg. Washington.
Baltimore or Atlantic City, in which Cham
pion was to race in succession beginning
last night. was to have postponed race on
account of rain or any other usual mishap.
II is evident, therefore that the trouble
lies with the racers themselves and not
with any local condition at Pittsburg
otherwise Champion and Mclean would be
compelled to proceed to the next city.

PRESIDENT JOHNSON ARRIVES.
Head of American League Speaks En-
Enthusiastically of Base Ball Situation.

President Ban B. Johnson of the Ameri-
can League, looking the picture of good
health and chuck full of fight, arrived in
Washington yesterday afternoon on a tour
of the eastern cities of his organization
Mr.. johnson intended to go direct to Balti-
more from Chicago to settle the details of
the release of Manager McGraw, but seeing
that the Orioles were playing in Washing
ton yesterday, he decided to stop over for a
day or two.
When called upon this morning by an
Evening Star reporter at the Raleigh Mr..
Johnson was in consultation with Manager
LOTUS and Director ODonnell of the Wash
ington club, and. of course, the interview
was necessarily brief. The American
League president said that he was conf
dent the Baltimore situation would right
itself in a few days, and that he was pre-
pared for any sort of development.

to keep a job since he broke his leg some

Outffelder Walsh of the Georgetown Col
lege team has signed with st. Joseph in the
Western League. Walsh was q member of
the Fleischmann Mountain Tourists when
Barney McFadden, Charlie Doom and Har-
ry White played with that team.
Now that McGraw has removed himself
the chief obstacle is gone and there is every
likelihood the American League will COM
mence operations at once looking to the IS
adjustment of a club in New York next
year The present owners of the Baltimore
club are business men who can be dealt
with as such and realize the situation full
ly. Their present property is not a paving
venture and cannot be made so for some
time. They win be ready to sell their hold
ings or transfer them to New York when
the time comes.-Chicago Tribune.
Erve Beck, the Cincinnati second base
man. has been handed his unconditional
release by Manager Bancroft. Beck has
not quite come up to expectations since he
has been in this city. He will not be out
of job long, however, for Columbus has
made him nice offer. and he will probably
go there. Quinn is expected here today, and
he may persuade Bancroft to take of die
ten days reserve from him, as the Column
bus team is badly IN need of a Shortstop
just at present.--Cincinnatl Enquirer.
