OLYMPIC GAMES

The final meeting of the American Ath-
letic unions Olympic committee, vested
with full power to arrange for the Olym-s
pic games Of 1904. was held at st. Louis
yesterday.
AS all the athletic events that Will be
held during the year will take place under
the rules of the A. A. u, whereby athletes
who compete must be amateurs and reg
istered athletes. the committee discussed
at length just how they would proceed in
regard to the foreign athletes right to
compete without registration. After a
long discussion John j. O'Connor and H.
G. Carneau, representatives Of the western
association of the A. A. u. which con-
trolls this district decided that their as
ISOLATION would register free Of charge all
athletes from any foreign country who
have with them or send with their entries
statement from the secretary or presi-
dent of the athletic association governing
sport in that country to the effect that
they are amateurs and eligible to compete.
There had been many demands by the
lovers of baseball to have Americas game
represented IN the Olympic series. En-
deavors will be made to have the winners
of the National and American league pen
nants play three games under the Olym-
pic auspices for the championship Of the
world.

W. A. LARNED VS.. DOHERTY.
British and American Tennis Cham
pions May Meet in the
Final Round.

The singles Of the tennis tournament
on the courts of the Meadow club at
Southampton. L. l., were brought up to
the semi-f1nal round yesterday when play
was discontinued for the day.
William A. Larned the American cham
pion, William J. Clothier of Philadelphia
and the English champion, H. l.. Doherty,
won their places in this round. and it is
expected that as the matter now stands
Larned and Doherty will meet in the
finals.
In gaining, his place in the semi finals
Clothier played hard three-set match
with Mahony Of the English interna-
tional team. He was too strongly ag-
gressive at the net for the veteran Eng
lishman and the latter was Clearly out
played in the second and third sets, after
winning the first when the game had
gone to deuce. That the ranking Ameri
can player, William A. Larned, is in fine
form, was made evident by his work
against Harry T. Allen the Philadelphia.
Allen was very accurate on his drives
and his attempts to pass, but Larned
overcame this by the most dashing sort
of work, and by sprinting to the net
he gained the position from which 1t was
possible for him to cross court the ball
and pass Allen almost at will. Allen
only took three games in the two sets
Of the match.
n. L. Doherty found 1t easy to over
come the Yale player, A. w. Post, and
take his place in the semi-final round.
Only one competition In the doubles
was decided and this resulted in a hollow
victory for the Doherty brothers.
Scores in second round-William A.
Larned, Orange Tennis club, defeated
Harry F. Allen, Belmont Cricket club,
60, 81. William J. Clothier, Harvard,
defeated Harold s.. Mahony, England,
81, Cd, s-e. H. l.. Doherty defeated A.
W. Post, Yale, So, 6-2.

Fight Fans at Frisco.
San Francisco, Aug. 13.-The sporting
element from all parts of the country are
dropping into town to see the big mill
between Corbett and Jeffries Friday night.
From the south the news comes that a
special train Of nine. Pullmans will leave
Los Angeles filled with men who want to
see the representative of the southland
match his skill against the scienced San
Francisco man.
Corbett still keeps up various exercise
in the ring, the gymnasium and the base
ball field In the early morning he has
some lively turns with his sparring part
ners, Sam Berger and Yank Kenny, to
keep himself in form, and those who have
seen him recently say that he shows up
in point Of physical skill and endurance
as well as he ever did. Jeffries, who has
now practically ended his training, is rest
ing quietly in Oakland. He is in fine con-
dition and will do just enough work from
now on until the day Of the fight to keep
himself in condition
In the betting Jeffries is still the favor
lite at 2 to l, and the betting is compare
lively light. Owing to the methods Of
Jeffries' trainers, who avoided all Vitality
sapping work in heavy clothing; the
champion will probably enter the ring
heavier than ever before.
"A 1SpOII 1IOtl LOS =fAHSelSS, Tie nome
of Jeffries, states that the champion is a
to l choice there.
The advance sale Of seats for the con-
test indicates a 100000 house.
An important side issue to the big fight
will be the contest between Harry Forbes
and Frank Neill for the bantamweight
championship Thursday. Both men say
they will enter the ring at 116. The bet
ting is 10 to in favor Of Neill.
While the general opinion is that JEFF
fries, even in poor shape, is too big and
strong for Corbett, there seems an UNI
usual supply OF short lend money.
This is partially due to the fact that
this is Corbett's home, but his magnificent
condition has more to do with the state
of affairs. While little betting is being
done by the big people, a good deal OF
money has been placed in small amounts.
The prevailing price yesterday was still
2 tot, and at the ringside this probably
will be the ruling figure. Much Corbett
money still remains uncovered. Luke
Kelly. the well-lknown bookmaker to-day
opened his bank roll and played $1,000 to

GOLF

The visiting English intercollegiate
golfers finished their contests with the
American college players on the links Of
the Myopia Hunt club at Hamilton, Mass,
by winning the two-ball competition, to
s. This, added to the score made yester
day in the four-ball match, made the
total for the two days play 8 to in
favor Of England. The contest had an
exciting finish, an extra hole being neces-
sary in the final match, which settled
whether the Englshmen would win or
halve the whole event. This was the
Chick-Allison match, the former of Har-
ward and the latter Of Oxford, and Allison
won thru marvellous burst Of fine play
ing in the last two holes.

win $500. T. c. Lynch Of Los Angeles
dropped into town and reports that JEFF
fries is considered unbeatable in the south
ern city, and says it is like stealing coin
to bet on him.
while was at home" he continued
II placed $500 against $3.50, and I have
more money which will invest before the
battle at San Francisco"
Leo Rose, the horseman, Is another Los
Angeles admirer Of Jeffries. He came from
Ventura yesterday and announced that he
played $1,000 to $500 and $500 to $3.50 on
his chances to win
Corbett has done his last real training
and he is now ready for the battle. His
final work, which consisted Of boxing with
Tommy Ryan, he declares, helped him
very much Ryan gave him pointers as
to the best methods to draw out Jeffries
Corbett has no fear Of being put out by
a blow at short range. Discussing the
coming MILL he remarked that he would
exchange punches at close quarters and
would be able to get the best of such sort
of warfare.
II believe, after advising with Ryan,
he continued, that Jeffries is apt to be-
come weak in the arms after he has gone
fifteen rounds. I will give you another
pointer tho; on Friday night I will not
punch that big fellow until he sees fists
in all directions. know I am faster and
cleverer than he and I believe shall be
able to stay the limit"
Jeffries came down from Hardin Springs,
accompanied by Delaney and all the rest
| of his training retinue. If there ever was
a man who looked fit for a hard fight,
Jeffries is that man. Bronzed with noun
tain sun and air, with his eyes bright and
every action showing health and vivacity,
| the champion lowered over his compan-
| ion and looked like a bronze Hercules
All the sporting men needed was one look
at the champion and they knew that all
the stories about his not training were
rot. His garments fitted him as if they
were made for a man twice his girth
Jeffries' answer to an inquiry was that
he weighed 215 pounds, but he looked very
much heavier. One of the first questions
fired at the champion by his friend was:
| Are you going to win, Jeff?''
"Of course I am" was the reply 81
can't lose. Never felt in such trim In my
life. You can see for yourself whether ]
have been working or not"
| After seeing the champion, there Is nc
doubt of there being heavy play on him
from this on. 1t was this doubt about his
condition that has kept the Corbett money
idle up to the present; but this was cleared
up yesterday. Delaney stated that JEFF
fries would strip for some light exercise
at the Reliance club to-day, but other than
this his preparation was completed.
| Corbetts near proximity has kept hin,
in the foreground up to the present, but
with the arrival of Champion Jeffries an6
an opportunity to see what kind of con.
dition he is in will change the complexion
of things, and 1t is more than likely thai
the long end of the money will go beg.
