tTt Is a Cruel World That Throws the
 Hooks Into Us.'
 Argus-eyed, the demon that has be set John L. Sullivan these many years until recently, has cropped up again to worry and annoy him during this period of his regeneration. A firm that deals largely In liquid dynarnics has gone into court and has asserted that John Lawrence Sullivan, Brook lyn Jimmy'' Carroll. James c. Kennedy and the father of the man from the transriparian borough, have failed to pay for certain casks, barrels and cases that were delivered to them dur ing the proprietorship of the quartet a+ 1O7 West Forty second street during the season of 1901.
 Palm & Go, the firm in question, dragged the four defendants into the New York city court yesterday and started in to find some reason why the goods should not be paid for.
 Sullivan ct al said yesterday that the materials were never delivered or ir they had been some other individual accumulated them. As MT Sullivan terselv puts it:
 I've never had the stuff. and ever if we had. the amount is only $500. too small to think about. Besides. hav" not got that much.
 MT Sullivan was inclined to be rem. iniscent also and insisted 1t was rather hard on a man who had foresworn anything stronger than mineral water to have his past naisdeeds dragged shrieking from their hiding places an5 thrust upon him. A friend of MT Sui livan's said: 8
 tsYes, John, you're right. It's like taking man who has just recovered into room in the cold gray dawn and permitting him to observe the relics nf the previous nights festivity in the shape of cigar stubs. broken bottles and glassware. as well as overturned and narred furniture.n
 And MT Sullivan agreed, and turned sadly down the court house stairs with look of pain on his counte~ ance. As he has often remarked: "Tis a crue. world that throws the hooks into us at odd times"

NEW YORK, Dec, 22.--The entries for the second annual interna tional au- tonobile meet under the auspices of the Florida East Coast Automobile as- sociation promise to eclipse in number any previous meet entry, Much inter- est Is centered in what speed W. k. Vanderbilt. Jr,, will do the mile. It Is freely predicted that his previous worlds record of forty eight seconds, made in France, will suffer by at least five seconds, which will make MT Van derbilt beat the present worlds record by three seconds, as it now stands at forty-six seconds Speaking of Mir. Vanderbilt's driving, W. T. Morgan, who attended the international race in Ireland last summer, asked many of the French automobiles who they con sidered the fastest American driver, and they all accorded that honor to ". K. Vanderbilt, IT., and maintained that he should have been one of the drivers representing the Americans in the i11- ternational race.

 The story is thsN McGraw of the New York Nationals wants to get the other star player of Brooklyn to add to Bigl Dahlen, whom he bought the other day.

 The population of the 16 cities that go to make up the Connecticut and New England leagues is close to the 100000 mark. about evenly divided between the two leagues.
 One of the Pacific National league players says: 1T don't believe eastern pEUR4C nave dly GUASSPL1uu VI CuS A1D- tances travelled out there.

 Pitcher Killian should be picked up by some major league club if let out by Cleveland, as seems likely. Cleve- land has too many star pitchers. and must turn some of them loose. Bern hardt, Moore. Joss, Donahue, Glerdon,. Stovall, Hickey and Killian make too large a bunch.
 The Rochester Democrat and Chron- fcle declares that tha Rochester club cannot be forced out of the Eastern league.

ON THE MAT.
Everything Ready for the Jenkins and
 Mcleod Bout

AICLGOQ bQuL-
 Tom Jenkins, the champion catch as-catch-can wrestler of America, and Dan Mcleod, the husky giant. from Canada, are ready for their bout in Madison Square garden tonight. Af- ter weeks of training they are it for what promises the most grueling and bitter light ever seen on the mat In New York. Picking the winner is like trying to name the winner of every race at race track, No two mon ever faced each other in bout of this kind with the line of advantage so thinly drawn.
 Mcleod is the ex-champion. Since he lost the title to Jenkins he has yearned for another chance at 1t. It is here now. and while it was coming Mcleod was resting quietly and talk ing on weight, a lack of which he claimed lost him the championship last time. He Is within five pounds of Jenkins's weight now, so on that question there is little to choose.
 Another thing which it is claimed by wrestling experts will DC big ad- vantage to Mcleod is the use of the strangle hold. The bout will mark the first appearance in New York in match of Mcleod, and 1t will also show New Workers for the first time in all the history of wrestling here the use of the deadly strangle 1t was due to the persistent demand of Me Leod that the hold was permitted He is an adept in it's use and by some folks said to be as clever with 1t as was "Strangler'' Lewis in the latter's palny days. The play for the grip will no doubt mark the contest, and if such is the case the bout can be noth- ing other than one of the hardest fought ever seen in New York.
 Both men are probably the gamest in their line, but once the hold Is on them it will be case Of death by stranguIation or the loss of fall In- terest In the bout has been very keen, and much betting has been done on 1t. When the men enter the ring it will likely be even money, and many of the thousands of people who will be on hand will be ready to het.>

 It is threeact comedy, but what it is doesn't much matter, for wasn't Bob there?
 He didn't enter until the second act but then he made amends for his pro crastination by appearing in an opera hat and evening dress. He danced a. few steps delightfully-it was so like a grizzly bear.
 But his dancing was nothing com pared to his singing. He warbled a wonderfully sentimental song called libby, You are My Steady" and grad uated his terpischorean effects very skillfully, for he began in wee, small voice, and then hesitated, delicately, a few times. The audience, indeed, began to get scared. for they were sympathetic, and feared he was coming to harm.
 But they didn't realize the depths Of his art. He recovered.
 But then they wouldn't let him pipe up again. they applauded him so. After he had tried to start anew for the fourth time somebody in the audience, with a good voice, broken in:
 Bobby. you are my hobbyl''
 The audience roared and then vocif- erously insisted that Fftz make them 8 speech

 Meet To-night--Baltimo Will Once
 More Have Boxing.
 NEW YORE, Dec 22.--Jack Munroe and Tom Sharkey will be the princi- pals in the next biz heavyweight bat tie. They have been matched to fight nn or before March 1, 1904. The win ner of the match has been promised battle with Jim Jeffries for the worlds heavyweight championship.
 Sharkey and Munroe will fight before .he club offering the best inducements, the bids for the contest to be opened on Jan. 15. There are, however, sev- eral restrictions to these bids. Sharkey refused to fight in San Francisco, claiming that he had been given the worst of it in Frisco and that they would not let him fight there when he was matched to meet Jeffries, Mum roe, on the other hand, would not listen to Sharkey's proposal for six round contest in either Chicago or Philadel- phia. San Francisco, Chicago and Philadelphia are therefore barred from bidding for the contest.
 The winner of the match is to take the entire gate receipts.
 The question of side bet was ad- vanced, but was objected to. as Mum roe's packer, Issy Putter, refused to make wager at even money, stating that the sailor would be warm fa- vorite at the rtngside, and he would therefore get the worst of the odds.
 The Eureka Athletic and Social club of Baltimore has arranged for Joe Tip man and Kid Williams, tho Philadel phia lightweight, to be the feature event for Us meeting Christmas alter noon. Williams is the boy who was matched to meet Joe Cans for six rounds in Philadelphia last September but Cans called the match off on ac count of a severe cold. Williams has been against the best Of them, having fought Dave Holly two draws, Willie Fitzgerald two six-round bouts, bested Crockey Boyle, and stopped Vernon Campbell in four rounds. He was also successful in Boston against three UT IOur SO~CdiiSu Al&ALWC1SuC SAotAh' pions.
 The Criterion A. e. of Boston again has the feature bout of the week. To night Jack (Twin) Sullivan of Gam bridge and Philadelphia Jack O'Brien are scheduled to go fifteen rounds fol a decision no matter how closely the men box. Philadelphia Jack O'BTier Is matched to fight Tommy Ryan fol the middleweight channpio ionship, and his showing against Jack (Twim Sulli van tonight will serve to give some line on the Quaker boxer, whom, some say, has gone back. Recently Twin and O'Brien fought six-round affair no decision, at Philadelphia. 1t was one of the fastest fights ever witnessed in Philadelphia and at the conclusion it was the general opinion that draw would have been the only just decis. ion. O'Brien Is one of the shrewdesi and shiftiest boxers in the middle weight class. Recently he has done a great deal of boxing, and some sports figure that it would not be, surprising if Sullivan earned decision, just as Langford did over Joe Cans recently Cans not being In his best form

Huff was a Dartmouth man. pure and simple, but yet was strong with IT. linois and in some respects regarded as m alunnus He was succeeded by a long list of special coaches, who under the conditions at Illinois proved prac- tical failures. They failed largely be- cause of their youth in the coaching line and because they either did not have the brain to develop under Illinois conditions or did not stick to the task as Stagg and Yost have done. Yost. however, had his preliminary ups and downs with other schools and learned many valuable lessons. Illinois coaches have never had that opportunity. It is thought that perhaps an alumnus would, as with the case of Curtis at Wisconsin, have the regard and confi- dence of the school and be permitted 10 work out a system, It seems now very likely that the ex-center rush. Lowenthal. of Illinois. will be the man selected to inaugurate return to the old-tinae style of coaching at Illinois. Mccormack at Northwestern has n three-year contract. When,he quits he hopes to see an alumni system of coaching established. Should he do so and have successful teams the next two years. 1t will be the first winning school to quit one system aud go to the other with its eyes open And a severe task 1t will be for the poor alumnus who steps in at that critical time and a blow It will be to the school should the sys- tenn fail to make good at the jump-off.

A CHILL FRANCHISE.
Voters in q Certain Illa-

What constitutes a legal residence
and entities one to vote has been
often a matter of dispute. In his
"Recollections" John NJ. Palmer tells
an amusing story of the peculiar
credentials accepted by a certain
town in the west.
The town was in Illinois. One OF
the qualifications required Of a voter
was residence in the state for six
months previous to the election. On
one occasion a mar named Hoskins
appeared for registrations; but when
asked how long he had lived in the
state, confessed that the time was
somewhat less than six months.
The registration officer, after tell
ing him he had not been in the state
long enough, hesitated a moment,
then asked if he had had the chills.'
Eyes, l had n yesterday" said
Hoskins, land l feel one coming on

put him down." said the clerk to
his assistant. 1.-The chills are as good
as a six months r~esidence!"
MI. Hoskins's name was thereupon
placed on the list.
