FOUL STRIKE TABOOED

The most important feature in the base
bau world at present Is the action Of the
rules committee OF the National and Amer
lean leagues when the latter get together
to agree upon uniformity in regard to the
laws governing the game. The foul-strike
rule Is the one which Is coming In for the
most attention from the fans, because that
Is the one which split the leagues in regard
to rules last year. This season 1t Will De

to be adopted. as the peace pact calls TOT
an agreement In regard to playing rules.
Even If the latter did not 1t would be prac-
tically a necessity to have uniform rules,
as the teams In the two leagues will come
together frequently enough to make d.
verse rules inconvenient.
What the two committees will do in re-
gard to this rule Is difficult to figure out at
present, but the most probable result will
be a compromise. Fortunately the COM
mittee which will have charge Of the
changes In rules Is one well fitted to han
die the question. Hanlon, Hart and Fleisch-
man will take care of the National League
interests. while Bruce. Lotus and Shibe
will represent the American. With pos
slbly one exception the men On the two
committees take a close Interest In the
playing side Of the game, and have made
the latter enough Of a study to handle the

this will be called strike. The plan mer-
its a trial at least.
The present committees will hardly go into
a thorough revision of the rules. although
this is needed. If the two leagues continue
to work together it would not be a bad idea
to hold a conference some time next win
ter and revise the rules all around. If the
matter were given careful consideration
during the coming season and Chadwick,
Nick Young and other experts called In to
help out a committee next winter, the
chances are that the rules could be i'm
proved much in the smaller details. A new
set of scoring rules. or rather a set of scor-
ing rules, for the ones in existence now are
so old as to be obsolete, Is badly needed.

No Prospects Of a Meeting Place
Forced the Declaration.

The featherweight championship match
between Young Corbett and Terry Mccoy
ern Is of. Owing to the failure of the
Louisville club to get a ruling in it's favor
the boxers abandoned that point. The only
remaining chance was San Francisco, and
McGovern Is not wanted there.
Sam Harris and Young Corbett met in
New York Sunday, and after talk with
Jim Kennedy. manager OF the Yosemite A.
c. of San Francisco, 1t was decided to de-
clare the championship fight off.
Young Corbett said:
There Is nothing else for us to do. We
have heard from Bob Gray in Louisville.
and the chances are SO slim for a meeting
there that they are not worth considering.
The Considines have looked over the ground
thoroughly and find the situation hopeless.
| have been told that San Francisco is not
over anxious about McGovern, and no club
there Is willing to make an offer worth
considering I'm tired OF waiting and los
ing money"
Harris said:
1--WE were very anxious to fight, for Nc
Govern would like to take the title to Eng
land with him. At present there Is no hope
Of holding the fight anywhere in the United
States. II opportunity offers the match will
be made over again Immediately"
Jim Kennedy announces that Young Cor
bett will fight Eddie Hanlon on February
% and on March II will meet Jimmy Britt.
Both fights will be at 100 pounds, ringside,
before the Yosemite Club.
Young Corbett starts for the coast to-
morrow. McGovern will fight "dubs'
around the east until April, when he goes
to England to train for the Jordan match.

Great Horse Deserves It After Satur-

1t Is likely the New Orleans public will
see but little more Of the four-year-oId Nc
Chesney. After he had carried 132 pounds
to victory In the Merchants handicap Sat-
urday, Trainer Durnell said he thought the
big son of Macdnff was entitled to rest
for time. especially as the Handicapped is
sure to put more weight on the colt in
future handicaps
McChesney came out OF Saturdays race
in excellent condition. He is now as good
as at any time during his career and 1t
will take but little racing to keep him right
on edge for the spring handicaps up the
line.
James Mccormick. trainer of Hermis, re-
marked after the race that McChesney was
a greater horse than he had given him
credit for being. His wonderful gameness
was what made the most impression on Nc
Cormick. and the fact that in the presence
of the big crowd he was level-headed and
not at all nervous or worried.
Why" remarked Mccormick, IF that
was Hermis and the crowd was so close
to him. there Is not jockey that could
hold him. And yet McChesney was not
taking a long breath. and any one could
have led him away after the race"
There Is considerable speculation among
horsemen as to the weight that VIII be
allotted to McChesney in the MONTGOMERY
handicap which viii be run on the open-
ing day Of the Memphis meeting. There
Is no doubt he will be given top weight
but whether or not he will have 70 carry
the same weight that he did In Saturdays
race is a question. The Memphis track.
which Is soft and sandy, will not be ex-
actly to his liking. but 1t seems to be the
general opinion that II he starts he will
have to carry more weight than did Orna-
ment. Buck Massie. Maurice or any of the
great horses that have contested for the
event.

AFTER BIG FIGHTERS.
Fort Erie Club Offers $25, 900 to Cor
hett and Jeffries.

hett and Jeffries.
The first real step toward clinching a
contest between Jim Jeffries and Jim Cor
bett for the heavyweight title was taken
yesterday by Jack Herman. manager of the
International A. C. Of Fort Erie Herman
went to New York from Buffalo and posted
s. 1000 as a guarantee that the club can hold
the mill without moiestation from the au-
thorities. A few days ago the club offered
SIS, 600 for the match and Herman said that
the offer has not been rescinded. This is
big incentive for a heavy weight bout, in
view Of the fact that purses for boxing
contests nowadays are smaller than in for
mer years. However, It may not result in
bringing the two together in view OF the
champions recent statement that he wants
to face Corbett to finish. Jeffries has
suggested Carson City. where battles for
endurance may be legally held. The limit
at Fort Erie, however. Is twenty rounds.
Usually contests between big men do not
go over ten rounds. but Corbett Is a clever
shifty fellow and may be able to stall the
boil ermaker OF as he did at Coney Island
when they met nearly three years ago.
Corbett is evidently sincere about meet
ing Jeffries again, and 1t was chiefly
through his efforts that he induced Her
man to bid for the fray and have the latter

that he has been taking good care of him.
