holders of the championship titles that

different classes.
Following his instructions on these
lines, West this morning had an inter
view with Robert Fitzsimmons with a
view TO finding out what tne Cornishman
would consider a reasonable remunera-
ton for his services. FitZSimmons r. fus-
ed to set a t1gure but told West to as

and then bring the winners in the pIelim-
inarles together in tWenty-round contests
for big purses, belts and the titles OF
champion of the world"

The Commercial clubs handicap bill
hard tournament began last evening with
every indication of interest and activity
among the members. The rivalry shown
among the players is earnest, but thor
oughly friendly, and from the games
played last evening it would appear that
the handicapping has been fair and just
There are twenty players entered in the
tournament, and, therefore, it will take
a total of 100 games to decide the con-
ter in case none drops out, which is not
at present considered likely. Play will be
continued each afternoon and evening at
the convenience of the contestants until
all of the games have been played and
1t is hoped that it will be possible to
dispose of an average of ten games d
day. The purpose is to finish the tourna-
ment within three weeks at the latest.
The players entered and their handicapS
are as follows:

There were seven of the players at the

played.
The most uniformly successful player
was T. w. Brown, who played two games
and won them both. f. B. Lynch played
four games, of which he won three. Mr..
Sabin, who is carrying the top handicap,
played only one game and lost it, and
John Wharry played four games and lost
them all.

Football Managers Have Hard Time
Trying to Reach Agreement.

CHICAGO, Jan. N.-Manager Kilpat-
rick of the University of Wisconsin, was
IN consultation with Coach Stage, of the
University of Chicago, at the Lexington
hotel yesterday afternoon. the subject
under discussion was the proposed foot
ball triple alliance between the Uni
vers1ties of Wisconsin, Michigan and Chi
cago Director Baird, of the Wolverines
telegraphed that he would be unable to
meet the other two, and the results or
the conference were therefore compare
lively small
The situation apparently hangs upon
the action of the Wolverine manager
Baird has refused to enter into any agree
as had been suggested between Michigan
Wisconsin and Chicago. He says that
the Michigan alumni in this city demand
that the Ann Arbor team play % game
here every year, and he therefore refuses
to enter into any alliance which might
make this difficult. 1t SENS to be the ar
rangements for the 1904 game that Baird
objects to.
Pending an agreement between StagC
and Baird negotiations between Wiscon>
sin and Michigan are at StandStil No
game has been scheduled. Manager Kill
patrick showed t1-egram from Baird
saying that he would play Wisconsin in
Chicago only, and all plans of a Badger
Wolverine game either in Milwaukee or
Madison are off.

of Iowa, was in town yesterday and had

BUT TWO GAMES SCHEDULED.
Manager of Michigan Team Makes
Statement of His Dealing.


ANN ARBOR, Mich, Jan. I7.-Manager
Baird returned from Chicago last night
and made statement Of his dealings so
far in relation to Michigan's football
schedule.
We have actually scheduled just two
games" said Mr.. Baird, zone with Mime
sofa on Thanksgiving day and one with
Oberlin on Nov %. The papers are
wrong in stating that the former match
will be played at Letroit, for that point
is by no means settled. The king pin in
arranging Michigan's schedule just now
is Mr.. Stages acceptance or refusal of
games in Chicago.
THAT is the main issue. If we with
draw from Chicago we demand conces-
sions in return. Just what these are
am not in a position to state at present
I still say, however, that we have not
agreed to step out of the city on Thanks
giving as yet. The Minnesota game may
be played at either Chicago, Ann Arbor,
or Detroit, as the outcome of best ne
gotiations may dictate"
+ The student body is greatly surprised
at this new turn of affairs, as it has been
reported that the Ratchet had been buried
and the varsity schedule well under way
toward completion. The present outlook
points to a Michigan Minnesota game in
Chicago on turkey day, should Stage re-
fuse the compromise offered by Baird.
If this is effected then Detroit will prob
ably be the scene of the first meeting with
the Gophers in many years.

To Ii Hang Chang Foo (Charles E.

officials Want Their Printing Done
and League Minutes Wait.

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-Pressure of gov
ernmental business has kept all the print
ers in Washington so busy that it was
impossible to have the minutes of the
last National league meeting printed in
time for distribution this afternoon as
A. G. Spalding requested.
n e. Young telegraphed from Wash
iigtoR that he is pushing the matter
along as rapidly as is possible, and is Of
the opinion that printed copies will be
in New York by Monday. The verbatim
proceedings are nearly as lengthy as the
statutes, and it is a task of no small
measure to get them ready.
The New York club has signed Walter
Anderson, captain and shortstop of the
Wesleyan college nine, to a two-years'
contract. Anderson has been considered
by those who have had chance to watch
the college Eines as the best of the col
lego shortstops, and has been chosen
for an all-American team. What he, can
do in professional company remains TO be
seen. He was highly recommended by
Charley Camel, the former Boston catch
err, who is Wesleyan's baseball coach
Sam Strang, who has not signed a New
York contract up to date. says he has
received offers from the American league,
but has declined them. Strang is anxious
to play in Cincinnati, not because he dis
likes New York, but for the reason that
Cincinnati is nearer his home, Chatta-

NEW YORK. Jan 19-FoIIowing the
story that Barney Dreyfuss is ready to
Jump the Pittsburg club into the Ameri-

not settled in q reasonable time comes
another report that President Freedman,
of the New York, club, is contemplating
similar move
This latest story says that Freedman
is preparing to settle the baseball
squabbles by buying the Baltimore fran
chise in the American league, which
would bring with it the services of such
star baseball artists as McGraw, Robin
son, McGinnity, Jack Hughes, Williams,
Donlin, ST Seymour, McGann Bresnahan
and a few others.
The scheme involves Freedman buying
the Baltimore franchise, Jonn T. Brush
purchasing the Cleveland club and trans

THE BOARD OF CONTROL.
Northwestern Students Give Up COE-

CHICAGO, Jan. 1T.-At mass meeting
of the students of Northwestern univer-
sity, held yesterday morning, the selec-
ton of the managers of the different
athletic teams was placed in the hands
of the board of control. This means that
no more student managers will be seen
at Northwestern university.
The faculty members of the board of
control are opposed to student manage
ment, and the majority of the upper
cIassmen of the undergraduates realize
that they have not made successes as
managers The alumni members of the
board of control desire alumni manage
ment, and that probably will be the re-
suit of the selection of the board, unless
the trustees insist that DR.. HOLSTER be
retained in that position for all the
teams. The coach has made success
