The reason of this is the arbitrary ac-
ton of Russia in reference to the control
Of the Finnish army. The recent decis-
ion that every male Finn Of a certain age
must serve for five years with the Rus
sian colors under Russian commissioned
and non-commiSioned officers, has given
the death blow to Finnish aspirations.
Formerly both the Finnish army and
navy have been separate from the Rus
sian, and Differed by their own people
The new regulations are uncomfortable
to the young Finlanders, and many have
already en- grated to Sweden and Canada
Formerly the native regiments practically
controlled themselves under the tutelage
of bureau Of Finnish officers, in turn
under the commanding power of the Rus
sian minister of war.
The new regulations do not recognize
the existence of any Finnish army. Con-
scripts from the Finnish provinces are
now to be enrolled directly into Russian
regiments, being liable to serve in any
part of Russia and abroad There is no
chance Of promotion for them any more

question to- the brave. soldier, the friend

Luffing in Yacht Racing.

British yachtsmen have dropped ths
measurement rule for the time being. and
are now troubling over the question of
luffing. W. P. Benton at the last meeting
of the Yacht Racing Association, moved
heightened amendment to the rule deal
ing with this matter. to the effect that
yacht may luff as much as she pleases
20 prevent yacht passing her to wind
ward. providing she has luffed from the
commencement of the overtaking yachts
attempt to get bv to windward. The ques-
tion is dealt with on this side of the
water in very few words. to wit: "a yacht
may luff as she pleases in order to pre-
vent another from passing her to wind
ward, provided she begins to luff before
an overlap has been established" An
overlap is established when the over
taking yacht has no longer free choice
of the side on which she will pass, and
when luffing would mean fouling.

PUGILISTIC FORTUNES.
A Few Fighters Have Held Onto Big
Money They Made.

That boxing is profitable game for the
successful boxer there can be no doubt,
says the Boston Herald" judging from
the fat bank accounts possessed by the
big heavyweights and some of the small
fstic stars.
Although many of the modern cham
pions have acquired thousands of dollars
by the use of their brawny arms, probably
none has been SO fortunate as the present
champion heavyweight, Jeffries, in put
ting away a fortune for rainy day.
1t is estimated that the big boilermaker
is worth at least 800, 900 in his own name
He has not made this big sum in purses
alone but has added TO his prize fight
winnings by lucky deals in oilfields at his
home in Los Angeles and in the stock
market
An intimate friend of the champions,
speaking about the success of Jeffries as
a boxer said that he had seen the big fell
lows bank account for S92, 900. Unlike
other great fighters that won their money
in punches, Jeffries ,has showed the sense
to put il away, and he announces that he
is now independent
Jeffries five years ago was practically
unknown, working away on rivets In
big boiler factory for paltry salary. But
the then plain boilermaker was building
up a fortune in his muscles, which after
ward enabled him to capture the cham
pionship as well as the money that goes
with such an honor.
James j. Corbett, although out of pugil-
ism, is still earning big money as mono
logue artist and has goodly sum invest
ed in gilt-edged securities. He enjoys
all the pleasures of life that money can
secure for man.
Terry McGovern is another wise one, but
the little featherweight has been so busy
making money that he really hasn't had
time to dig into his bank account to any
extent. Up to his defeat by Young" Cor
bett he went along the line of aspirant
featherweights and always came out with
the big end of the purse.
or the many great fighters that were
knocked out by their own success and the
plentiful use of money George Dixon the
colored demon. and John l.. Sullivan are
probably the most conspicuous. They are
in extreme classes of pugilism, but in the
same class as the man financially embar-
rassed Ordinarily this would not be
strange, but when ii is considered what
these two ex-champions have gone through
1t should and evidently has proved good
lesson for those who follow. Dixon made
ard lost several fortunes as well as the
and today he does not own
q dollar, and is ready to take on an op-
ponent for whatever there is in ii.
Sullivan's money-spending feat has
probably never been equaled. He is said
to have gone through at least million
dollars. He has been good fellow to all.
and even at this stage he cannot hold the
few dollars that come to him for support.

this year.
Dreyfuss says that he is going to Hot

Jack Farrell is booked to succeed Dick
Padden with the Cardinals.
Charley Irwin, after flirting desperate
ly with half a dozen American League
managers all winter, has returned to
Brooklyn.
1t is said that Joe McGinnity is suffer
ing from malaria. Troubles never come
singly, but McGraw seems to be getting
more than his share lately.
That the American League is perfectly
capable of getting back good and hard
for all injuries received Is demonstrated
by the attack on the Brooklyn aggrega-
ton. Last year Sheckard signed with
the Orioles, but was induced to jump
back. The Americans took a vow of ven
