FAST TRAINING
FOR FIGHTERS
HanlOn and Corbett Devote
Much Time to Actual Ring
Work With the Big Gloves

1t is doubtful If any two boxers in
recent years have gone through so Sc
we're course Of training as Eddie Han
Ion and Young Corbett have for their
engagement next Tuesday night in Me-
chanics' Pavilion. Each day for sew
eral weeks they have engaged in train
ing bouts that have been thinly veiled
fights.
Each Of the feather weights enioys
this clash of arms and shows it by the
manner in which he sails into his box
ing partner. Hanlon took on Joe
Thomas and Fred Landers yesterday,
each going two rounds of regulation
length. His style of boxing suffers in
comparison with that of Champion
Corbett
1t was a case Of fight from start to
finish and knockout seemed possible
at any time. Hanlon fought as he has
done each time in the ring-taking sew
eral blows to land one His favorite
punch was a right uppercut, which he
used repeatedly and to good effect. He
came out Of his practice with a cut
nose and a cut mouth.
H2nlOn expects 10 90 MS last boxing
to-day. This will give the sore spots a
chance to heal thoroughly. He uses one
article in training which is likely to in
jure his hands or wrists at any mo-
ment. This is a padded affair fastened
to the wall of his gymnasium The
padding has been forced out of place
and the hard wall gets the full strength
of the blow.
The perspiration was slow to start
yesterday, but once Hanlon warmed up
It came freely. Harry Foley gave ou.
his weight as being 133 pounds. His
diet has been unrestricted in variety
and In quantity.
Young Corbett put in a busy day Of
training. He had two plunges in the
ocean, did long jaunt on the road and
boxed three rounds each with Monte
Attel and George Sanfransen. The lit
tie champion expects to scale 1929
pounds tomorrow, when he will weigh
in public for the first time.

SWIFT ACTION
ON POLO FIELD
NcCreery Scores Eight Goals
in a Game at Burlingame,
One in Twenty Seconds

Lawrence McCreery broke the sea
sons record twice on the Burlingame
polo field yesterday. He scored eight
goals during a game, one Of them be-
ing made from the center Of the field in
the remarkably short space Of twenty
seconds. The honors Of the game lay
almost exclusively between McCreery
and Tom Driscou.
The score was goals to s. in favor
Of the Reds. McCreery made eight and
Driscoll four. Dunphy and Howard
each made one for their respective
sides No faster play has been seen
this season than that which marked
the concluding period. In swift sue
cession Driscol drove the ball thrice
between the posts, and it began to look
like a tie game. McCreery got into
action again and quickly scored twice.
This terminated the match amid ap-
plause for the two great horsemen. The
sides were:
Reds-Lawrence McCreery, F. w.
Howard and c. Raoul-DuvaL
Whites-T. A. Driscon. Francis J.
Carolan and Charles Dunphy.
Two periods had been played before
the arrival Of Messrs. Carolan and Du-
val. The periods were six in number
and were each Of ten minutes dura-
zion.
Instead Of polo on Christmas day IL
is expected there will be a golf tourna-
ment on the club links. with a number
OF ladies in the game.

Men Display Unusual Ceverness in Athletic Sports and
Win Applause From Throng Of Spectators.

The field day at the Preside military
reservation yesterday was a marked
success in every respect. The weather
was ideal for athletic sports. There
was a large crowd present. and each
victor was accorded a warm reception,
the spectators being liberal with their
applause. No records were broken, al
though the soldiers showed athletic
ability of high class. With proper
training they should be able to cope
with the athletes of the universities.
The various events resulted as fol-
lows:
100 yard dash-won by Musician Kip Of
the Twenty-fourth Field Battery. with Corpo-
raj Smith Of the Ninth Cavalry close second.
Time 10 2-5 seconds.
22O-yard dash-WOn by Private Stevens OF
the Twenty-fourth Battery with p. Campbell

utes l9 seconds. The second honors fell to
the Fifth Battery Field Artillery. Time, 3
minutes and % seconds
Relay race-Won by Twenty seventh Com
pany; Coast Artillery, with Troop L. Ninth
Cavalry. carrying off the second honors
The pitching of the Sibley tents was
watched with great interest, and the
remarkable time made by the winners
was rewarded with the applause de-
served.
The relay race probably created the
greatest enthusiasm, and the runners
were cheered by the onlookers from
the first dash until the close of the
hOtly contested race.
Every organization in the post par
ticipated in the days proceedings
There we're Companies Twenty seven,
Twenty y-eight, Twenty-nine, Sixty,
Seventy. Ninety-two and One Hundred

and Twenty-fourth batteries, Field
Artillery, and Troops /, X, L and NJ,
Ninth Cavalry.
The different events were enlivened
with music by the band Of the Third
Artillery Corps.
In the afternoon the big crowd Of
officers and enlisted men which had
watched the morning sports was aug
mented by many visitors, who came to
witness the baseball game between the
visiting officers team from Ord Bar
racks and the post officers team. The
score was II to IL in favor of the home
nine.

O'Brien won the decision over Twin
sullivan in fifteen-round bout at the
criterion Club tonight. At the ring
side O'Brien weighed 15S pounds, while
Sullivan tipped the scale at 153.
Sullivan was the aggressor from the
first round and O'Brien's fancy leads
were blocked and countered prettily.
OBrien's tactics were almost entirely
on the defensive up to the ninth round.
when Sullivan's right eye was closed
by a well-directed blow. After that
O'Brien had little difficulty in reaching
him. In the thirteenth round, however,
O'Brien received similar injury and
the men were again on equal terms.
In the fifteenth round there was a
warm mixup.

There was nothing suggestive Of the

arrival last evening of the sturdy
young redmen comprising the famous
Carlisle football team. a more docile
appearing or decorously behaved lot of
passengers never stepped off ,he ferry
boat. Even their cadet uniforms failed
to dispel the impression of Placldlty
created by their demeanor.
Headed by their manager, Mr.. War
ner, and their physician, DR.. Waite, the
fifteen young aborigines quietly fell
into line and walked to the Occidental
Hotel, the pedestrian exercise being
considered beneficial to their blood cir
culation, as they had been cooped up
in a Pullman ever since they started
from Salt Lake City. They tramped
briskly and with military precision and
arrived at the hotel but minute or
two behind the bus containing Mrs.
Warner and Mrs. Waite and the bag
gage of the party In the hOsmlry they
meekly waited while the manager reg

the dining-room for dinner. An hour
later they were in their respective
apartments and before 10 o'clock they
were abed.

NATIVE ALASKAN A WONDER.

He is more stalwart than the average
aborgine of the land of the midnight
sun and every pennyweight of his 167
pounds is either solid bone or ada
mant muscle. His large moon face
lighted up with a cheerful smile when
he was asked if the trip from Utah
had fatigued him.
Not at all" he replied in unadulter-
ated English. Il never felt more frisky
in my life. Perhaps that is because 1
am so near my home-only six days
away, you know" And again he dis
played two rows of perfect teeth.
You're not homesick?" was queried.

INDIANS IN CONDITION.

The young Indians are vigorously
ciceroned by their manager and ply
sician. Their perfect physical fitness
at all times is due to their temperate
and regular mode of living. The boy
who transgresses in this respect is at
once sent back to school-and fear Of
the disgrace attendant upon such pun
ishment probably has something to do
with their cheerful adherence to the
prescribed regimen.
Only one of the players has been
here before. Johnson was q member
of the Carlisle team that came west
in 1899, since when he has earned the
eputation-indorsed by no less infalli-
BILE an authority than Walter Camp,
the father of football"-of being the
greatest quarterback and field general
in all America He is captain of the
present team and wears his hcnors so
modestly that nobody would pick him
out for what he is.
The most interesting member of the
group is Schuchouck, the Kodiak Indian
who plays center rush, and is said to
be terror in that position. He is the
only native Alaskan in the group-in-
deed the only one who has ever dis
played prowess on the football field
and his comrades seem to respect him
