SAYS PRAYERS DID IT.
Was Cured of Spinal Trouble After
Doctors Failed

Hiawatha, Kan. Dec. 29.-Miss Lena
McNamar, a young woman who was
raised in Hiawatha, only recently NOV
ing to Nebraska City, Neb., claims that
she was cured by prayer of spinal
trouble that made her a helpless in
valid, after physicians had given her
case up.
Rev. Philip Graft, pastor of the First
Baptist church, of Nebraska City. Neb.,
substantiates her statements. Miss Nc
Namar is about 25 years old, and has
been bedridden for several years. Her
father, who was county clerk here for
several years, tried all kinds of medi-
cine and doctors for his daughter, but
she became no better. Miss McNamar
has been a church member for years,
and some months ago decided that
prayer alone could accomplish her cure.
Strange to say, without warning, she
recently got out of bed and pronounced
herself well. She has been growing
stronger every day and now helps with
the work around the house, takes long
walks and is seemingly as well as she
ever was in her childhood. Her doc
tors make no claim to the cure.

BooKMAKERs LOSERS.
Those Operating at Inglesido Behind
on Seasons Work

San Francisco, Dec. 29.-The great
majority of the bookmakers now oper-
ating at Ingleside are losers on the
season. Harry Brolaslzi, the biggest
individual loser, left last night for the
east He is said to be $50, 900 loser, and
the object of his departure, according
to current gossip, is to dig up another
bank roll. Barney Schrieber has struck
a losing streak and appears to be much
disconnected over the ruling off of Dee
Hall. Paul Hoffman, of ST. Louis, IS
probably the biggest winner thus far
this season.
Starter Hoffman has had bad luck in
his work the latter part of the week
Oarsman was heavily backed to win
the Christmas handicap and had abso-
lutely no chance after the start, owing
to being bumped into by Forest King.
On Saturday interference at the start
beat Gold Money, backed for killing,
and Leader, the hot favorite in the last
race, was not straight IN line When the
barrier went up.
Owing to the victory of Proper in the
Christmas handicap, Walter Jennings
now leads the winning owners with
IS, 721 to his credit. Parker & Thwaite
are second with $500, and Barney
Schneider third with $5,311 Next in

sHARKEY IN ACTION.
Sailor Pugilist Takes No Chances for
Coming Battle.

New York, Dec. 29.-That Tom Shar-
key intends to be in shape when he
tackles Jack Munroe is evident by the
manner in which the sailor has plunged
into his training. Having signed ar
ticles and posted forfeits, Sharkey i'm
mediately decided that the next best
thing to do was to begin work, and to-
day he took a jaunt around Central
Park, accompanied by his trainers, Tom
Riley and Kid Critic.
1t was the first road work that the
sailor had taken in some time, but he
seemed to have his oldtinae speed,
which made it difficult for those who
accompanied him to hold the pace.
Sharkey does not intend to lose any
valuable time between now and the
battle, which is to take place within
two months. 1t is not his first exper-
fence in city training, having done pre-
paratory road work around the park in
several of his previous matches.
He will soon add to his training
schedule by taking UP his gymnasium
exercise. He will do his work at
Rileys gymnasium on Twenty-tnlrd
street until after the holidays, when
he will take up his quarters at Sleeps
head BAY, where he will remain until
a. battle ground is selected for his go
with Munroe.
Sharkey, although confident that he
will defeat Munroe, intends to take no
chances with the miner, as victory
will give him an opportunity to meet
Jeffries for the championship.

From the foregoing account few de-
auctions can be drawn. In the first
place, it is apparent that the men are
equal in the point of gameness. 1t is
probably true that Corbett is cooler un-
der difficulties 1t would seem fair to
offset Corbett's lack of condition with
the fact that Hanlon, in a fight of so
much Importance, was nervous and not
confident. The fight should give him
confidence to make a better showing
against COrbett in the coming meeting.
Hanlon's crouch, which looked to be
a great feature of his boxing in the
Corbett fight, was proved in a later mill
against Benny Yanger to be a disad-
vantage. The crouch in Hanlons case
proved to be strong defense. but when
landing telling blows Before the end
of his fight with Yanger E1anlon dis
carded the crouch and then began to
gain on the Chicago man.
Probably the best point in Hanlon's
tactics is his aggressiveness He is a
of letting up when a good blow is land
ed he keeps coming. He does not stop
coming and in that way naturally
forces an opponent to the defensive.
On the other hand, Corbett's expert
ence and the belief that he will be in
condition makes him the natural favor
lite for the fight.
It is likely that Corbett will have
some trouble in reaching 129 pounds, but
he will make it, in all probability, and
rest after doing so. He ought to go into
the ring at 1872 or 1873 pounds and be
ready for the fight of his life
Many good boxers have picked Han
Ion to win-Jim Corbett and George
Gardner being the most notable ones
followers pin their faith to the present
champion.

EDDIE HANLON.

The selection of Graney as referee
brought out some deferred betting and
most Of the money was placed at 10 to
with Corbett favorite Both men were
on the road Monday doing light work
and the afternoon was devoted to some
gymnasium exercises Last night prac-
tically finished the training. A record
breaking attendance is looked for by the
managers of the fight.
Without doubt Corbett and Hanlon
are the leaders of their class. Each
knows the game thoroughly and each
is as clever with his fist as it is posi-
BILE for a boxer to become Malachi
Hogan, the well known pugilistic ex-
pert, in commenting on tonight's fight,
says
For two years Corbett has had the
advantages which come to the holder
of a pugilistic title, but he has saved
no money from his ring purses, and
being only "a years of age is anxious
to hang on as long as possible. To
lose would be to throw him into the
same class with Terry McGovern, and
wise enough to lay away when times
were good.
"Hanlon, on the other hand, is viz
tually at the beginning of his career
as a boxer. He is only 10 years of age,
and has already shown himself to be
one of the leading featherweights in
the country, as featherweights are
counted nowadays. He has succeeded
in finally triumphing over Benny Yam
ger, a man who was regarded as the
most likely to win the title from
Young Corbett. If Hanlon can win
over Corbett he will have accomplish
ed a great feat for a fighter of his
years.
There is no dope that fits a boxing
match. The nearest that one can
come to doping a contest is to take
the previous fights of the two princi-
pals. Corbett and Hanlon have met
once. Last February in San Francisco,
when Hanlon was an 7S-year-old kid,
they came together, and at the end of
20 rounds of fighting both men We're
on their feet and capable of going
farther. The bout was so even that
Referee Graney called if a draw, but
Hanlon's admirers thought the plucky
little boy had Slightly the better of it,
This feeling was so strong with Han
lon that he has protested against Graz
ney as referee of the coming fight.
Probably no better line on the two
men can be given than to recount the
battle of last February. Following is
a brief account of that fight:
Both men made the weight. 100
pounds. although Corbett had to work
his hardest the last few days, and was
perhaps weakened somewhat by the
effort. In justice to him it should be

himself to be boy of remarkable
gameness. He stood world of pun
ishment, but there was never a stage
in the fight when he was not coming.
He never let up in keeping after Cor
bett, and at one stage the champion
was lucky to get away without being
knocked out.
1T was Corbett's cider head that
saved him. He knew more of the game
than his younger opponent, and he
made it count. From the first to the
seventh round Hanion had all the bet

ter of Corbett. It was seemingly inn
possible for Corbett to get behind his
defense. Hanlon's crouch, learned from
Jeffries, proved good, and he stood
Corbett off, at the same time inflicting
punishment and carrying the fight so
fast that Corbett, in his poor condition,
was putting. After the seventh round,
and up to the seventeenth, Corbett
changed the tide of battle. He cut

eR1LLo MADE PRESIDENT.
Cincinnati Man Head of the Ameri-
can Association.

Chicago. Dec. 29.-The club owners of
the American Baseball association, at
their annual meeting here today, I'M
animouSly elected ]. E. Grillo, sporting
editor of the Commercial Tribune of
Cincinnati, president of the associa ton
to succeed Thomas ]. Hickey, the lat
ter having resigned to accept a posi-
ton with a mercantile firm in St. Paul.
The election of Grillo was a oompro-
mise and was made in order to avoid
what threatened to become an ugly
fight.
George Lennon, owner of the st. Paul
club, was made chairman of the board
Of directors. The association was di-
vided into factions prior to the meet
ing, with Lennon of st. Paul and
Havenor of Milwaukee opposed to Te-
beau of Louisville. Bryce of Columbus
and Watkins of Minneapolis. Lennon
was in favor of the retention of Hickey
as head of the association until the
compromise was made and Lennon was
placed at the head of the board of d.
rectors. Hickey had not formally hand
ed in his resignation until today, al
though he had made known his intea-
ton several months ago of vacating
the presidency. GrilIo was the candi-
date of the Tebeau faction and by the
compromise effected both sides are
fully satisfied and harmony will be the
result.
Although the question was not fully
decided today, it was said by the mem
bers that a schedule of 1s4 games
would. be adopted for the coming year.
Heretofore LAO games have been the
rule. The reason given for the change
in the schedule is that it will enable
the association to add materially to it's
revenue without any additional ex-
pense. The extra" Mondays and
open days, for which the players
We're paid last season, will be placed
upon the schedule of games this sea-
son if the change is made.

NATIONAL LEAGUE WORK
Schedule Ready, and Conflicting Dates
to Be Avoided

New York, Dec.29.-Barney Dreyfuss.
chairman of the National League sche-
dule committee. who, it appears, has
been intrusted with the sole making
up of the schedule for 1904, took a day
eff from holding the chair of President
Harry c. Pulliam during that worthy $
absence in Tennessee and said:
II have almost finished the schedule
for 1904, and when we get through We
will ask a conference with the Ameri-
can League schedule committee to
compare notes. The National League
does not wish any conflicting dates,
nor do We believe that the American
wants anything of the kind. We will
get together and arrange a non-con-
f1icting schedule. The American League
has made this possible by arranging
for a 154-game schedule, the same as
we adopted. Had they stood for 40
games as they threatened 1t would not
have been so easy, but now it Will be
better. 1 have tried in doping out
dates for everybody to minimize the
length and number of jumps as much
as possible, for there is nothing which
eats into the club bank roll so fast and
far as those seemingly senseless jumps.
I am satisfied that we will be ready
within the next week to present a
schedule to the American League COM
mittee which will meet with its appro-
baton"
Speaking of the coming season, SO
far as the champion Pittsburg team is
concerned Mr.. Dreyfuss said:
''Any one who thinks that Pittsburg
will not win the pennant next season
has but to see me if he wants to bet.
We can and will win the pennant If
there is not a change in the present
makeup of the team. But will have
two other crackerjack pitchers. 1 want
to make my fourth pennant impressive.
I want the other people who may
come after me in baseball to have
some record to shoot at. Watch Pitts
