HE SCORES A KNOCKOUT
Jimmy Britt Easily Wins Out as a
Thespian, in Spite of Fouls
by Villains.

Jimmy Britt. who thinks he could be
lightweight champion would his pride of
race permit him to fight Smoke" made
his debut recently as an actor-man. He
had the audience groggy from the start.
The affair is thus described by a cor
respondent Of the Chicago Inter-Ocean:
The play is strenuous four-round at
fair, for decision, and judging from the
shrieks of approval from all parts Of the
house, Jimmy had more than shade. In
every round he scored g. knock down and
made a speech.
Round 1.-The show opens with a scene
in Bowery barroom, which is crowded
with booze-fghters fair soubrettes, and
broken-down sports. Jimmy trots in clad
in a green sweater and unduly long black
trousers rolled up, and minus suspenders.
He ducked his nicely parted hair in
response to the cyclone of applause that
GREETED him. and took his corner. He
then led with. both hands, sidestepped,
ducked uppercut the villains-of which
there seemd to be a superfuity-and when
the curtain closed the opening round he
had decided lead over the rest of the
cast. It was great.
Round Britt rescued two maidens,
fired five shots, wallOped the copper once,
turned few handsprings to show that he
wasn't all out. and made another speech.
Some day a white man will get that
COON said James, referring to the cham
to cop that guy" The applause rent the
tobacco smoke, and for the time being
cleared the atmosphere.
Round 3-The villains committed a. few
fouls but the umpires in the gallery over
looked them. The opium in the Chnk' s
bedroom, where the leading lady had fall
en- asleep, almost put Jimmy through the
ropes, and this was where he got tangled
UP in the big words and nearly took the
count. But before the close of the round
Jimmy came up smiling and hit the gallery
in the solar plexus by announcing that
whisky was not for him, as ut has killed
| off many a champ" Howls of approval,
| and Jeemes made another speech, just to
! show his pipes were in good order
| Round 4-This is the ring scene, in
which Jim takes the place Of a sick scrap
| per and licks the champion This was
where the gallery butted in strong. The
youngsters who had beat the door had
their lamps" glued on Jimmy in this
round, and they showered choice advice
upon him when the three-round bout was
on. 1t was quite realistic and looked like
a genuine go. Billy Jordan announced
the boys and Eddie Smith refereed. Al
the ringside were Harry Corbett, Martin
Brady, AL Neill, Eddie Hanlon, Toby Irwin
Morris Levy Alec Greggains, Charlie
Gains, Tim McGrath, and Harry Foley
Poor Charlie Reno, Jimmy's sparring part

SKI RUNNERS HAPPY
Abundance Of Snow Promises a Re-

Great Norwegian Sport.
Pastime Has Languished for Three
Winters on Account of
Lack of Snow.

While ice yachtsmen make their moan
that the heavy snow has spoiled their
sport for the season, local ski enthusi-
asts rejoice, for this winter will see
revival of this great Norwegian sport,

for three years.
In the winter of 1S9S-1s99 a f1ourshing
ski club was maintained by Minneapolis
men. During the last three winters.

the devotees of ski running from engag-

been alternating for three years.
To- morrow afternoon a committee will
make an excursion into the country round
Minneapolis to pick out hills suitable

in the sport will be called to perfect
plans for the reorganization Of the club.
Those who are promoting the movement
are A. H. Osphal, Carl 1lstrup, Adolph

New Hills Discovered.

account of the large number of trees upon
those hills they were not satisfactory

other place proposed is Devils gulch. near
Keegan's lake, where there are a large
number of good hills.

fame accorded the winner of national

one of the Olympian games of Greece was
greeted with more acclaim than the
winner Of a ski tournament in Norway.

BARS AMERICAN CREWS
Action of Henley Stewards Is Con-
demned in Advance by Their
Own Countrymen.

The Henley regatta committee has at
last: barred American and other foreign
crews from the annual rowing events.
Upon Its face the resolution passed last
Saturday does not appear to be aimed
especially at the Americans, yet it bars
all crews which have been coached by
professionals at any time during the four
weeks before the beginning Of the races.
This will shut out Cornell, whose crew
competing at Henley this year.
Cornell cannot make a showing without
the help of Coach Courtney, who can
hardly pose as an amateur.
The narrow attitudeoof the Henley stew
ards was condemned in advance by some
English sporting writer's, notably "Old
Blue in Sporting Life. The veteran said,
in the last issue to reach here:
'"There is no doubt that We are in for a
wholesale invasion of Royal Henley next
July. The Argonauts B.. c. (Canada). Cor
nell University (America), at least one
representative crew from Germany and
others, have already resolved to come
over. c. s. Titus (America) the we'll
known sculler, too. has expressed his in
tention of having other shot for the Dia-
monds. The News has had the usual eff
feet upon the little Englanders of sport.
Thus early the old cry is being raised
Henley for Britishers alone I. quite
thought this sort of Monroe doctrine had
received it's QuietuS but presumably not
SO. There are still some grandmotherly
folk who prefer Henley as it was in the
40s to-. the stirring activity and excite
ment of boat racing in the grand scale.
Happily they are in a minority not only in
the clubs, but in the, council chamber 1t
really is amusing TO-. hear some very
nearly sportsnler looking Nanxiously for
ward to the visit Of australian cricketers,
American at1letes.= ETC.. but who pooh
pooh the visits of foreign fwetbobs.' Hap
PLY, again, most true sportsmen regard
this in the same sort of spirit as Mephis-
topheless contemplated the &backsliding OF
Faust, RI. e., with perfect Indifference
They have no fears as regards the future
of British Craftsmanship which, presum-
ably, exercises the little Englanders in
question. E
"a man of large nature is always cos
mopolitan. and so with sportsmen. Put
ting aside the added glory of being
pitted against some of the worlds finest
oarsmen and scullers, instead of meeting
about the same class Of men year after
year, there is something exhilarating II
meeting foemen whose cradles were
rocked to the sound of the same mother
tongue. Besides, the old British spirit Of
do or die is not yet dead, although from
the rawlings of some If looks very like it
There is no raison de'etre at all for wish
ing to exclude foreign crews after all these
years Of open competition. Foreign crews
are certainly improving hand over hand
and can this be the reason of the little
Englanders' objections? I trust not, i
only for very shames sake. However,
shall have occasion to touch upon thi!
subject further a little later

RAGING FOR SPORTS SAKE
John w. Gates Advances Some Novel
Although Rather Inconsistent
Ideas About the Turf.

John w. Gates is the latest champion,
Of racing for sports sake. He advances
some views which are very pretty in the
DRY, and which can be followed without
difficulty by men whose fortunes are Of
as great a bulk as those of Gates or W.
c. Whitney. Among other things he says
that racing cannot thrive as a commercial
venture.
TO be consistent Mr.. Gates should go
further and declare in favor Of matinee
racing only. That is really the only form
Of racing for sports sake. Mr.. Gates for
gets that business and sport do not mix
well. He also forgets that the ideal OF
sport which is not happy unless a big
monetary considera ton is involved in a
contest, is a rather low ideal. Better
frank and open commercialism than the
craftsmanship of Mr.. Gates ct al. Mr..
Gates says:
II am sorry to see the sordid desire to
triumph in the betting ring overcome the
ambition to excel on the course. We have
too many men in racing as a business.
When a man acquires a strong stable for
betting purposes he does not begin to
taste Of the sweets of racing.
"a cheap selling race has to him the
same significance as the winning of one
of the great classics, with it's wealth OF
lore and tradition. There will always be
the poor, third-rate horsemen, willing to
eaten OUTSIDE moneys ana i've TO exist
as it were. He is an integral part of the
turf system, but as little is heard Of his
devious ways, no harm to the sport Is
done.
He is there for the money there is in
it. When a man, supported by a high
class stable and ready bank account sets
out to make a business of his racing, and
when he sums up his summers diversion
in proportion to the total of his profit anG
loss account, then it becomes a serious
matter. The plunger- owner is exploited
and his fame falsely reflects the spirit OF
the sport This unwhoIesome tendency
among owners is what leads to unpleas-
ant results. They become prone to the
habit Of running to get weight off. with
a view to insure good price and a lighter
allotment for a future race and prospec.
tive coup. Some Of them might go fur
Their. The turf cannot thrive as a com
mercial venture. Every man should owr
his own horse, too. We want men who are
content to race for the purses and the
qualification Of seeing their horses win
We want owners who are willing to incul
big forfeits and pay them out Of stake:
and purses their horses may win, If pos.
sible, or out Of their pockets, without de-
murring, If necessary" -. E

In selecting a route to California the al
titude and climate Of the country trav-
ersed should naturally be given considera-
ton. The Rock Island system not only
has the shortest line to the Pacific Coast,
but also passes through a territory Of the
lowest altitude and a most genial tenn
perature. Beginning Wednesday,, and
every Wednesday thereafter. the Rock
Island Ry. will run a tourist Car from
Minneapolis to Los Angeles without
change over the Rock-Island-El Paso
Route, leaving the Milwaukee Depot at
s7:1O p. m. The car will be of the latest
Pullman design and p-to-date in every
respect, and you may be assured Of a
