STRAY BITS OF SPORT.

A useful compendium of sporting statistics is the Police Gazette Sport. ing Annual for 1903. It contains tkc records of all the prominent ipugilists, athletic, bicycle and rowing records, including all the principal features in the trotting and racing world and his tory of the yacht races for the Ameri. ca's cup. It is a veritable encyclope- dia of sporting information, profusely illustrated. and sells for 10 cents.
 "Choppy'' Warburton, one of the most widely known English sporting men, dicG at his home. tue White tHorse Inn, Newcastle-on-Tyne on January 1o. He was known h .n.gl- out EEplend and Ar'erica genersIv ag q promoter of great pedestrian handi- caps in which noted ''peds'' took part. In 1879 s'Choppy" won the English am- lateur,, four-mile championship in 20 minutes fl 3-5 seconds and soon after ward turned professional.
 Despite the onerous duties of his new position, Patrolman John Flana- gan, holder of the worlds record for throwing the hammer and the 56- pound weight for distance, still finds time to indulge in his favorite pas time. In this way he keeps himself in prime condition. Beginning next Sunday, Flanagan will start hard training to get in form for the 56- pound weight for height event, to be decided at the Madison Square Garden games of the Greater New York Irish A. A. It always has been Flanagan's S ambition to annex all records for throwing the weights, and he thinks he will establish a new record at this meeting. At presen x 'lisi rival and for mer worlds record holder, Jim Mitch ell, is the proud possessor of the record for throwing the 56-pound weight for height. Mitchell ridicu1es the idea of Flanagan equalling his record of 15 feet, ,63s inches for this event, and says that even if this should happen he has 14 inches at least in reserve with which he would make the figures of the present record go Hting. All the weight throwers in the New York dis trict, as well as star performers from out of town, are expected to take part, and as the affair is a handicap Flana- gan will be obliged to make new fig ures in order to beat them Entries will close on March ', with James B. Sulli- van, Nos 16 and IS Park place, New York.
 Tony Mullane, the baseball player, donned brand new uniform the other day. and now is full hedged Chicago policeman. Tony was a long time quitting baseball, and has been one of the marvels of the game. He was pitching for Erie, Pa, in 1879, and from there he went into the American association. He signed i'll 1884 every contract tHat had any advance money with it, and elected to play at Toledo, that club having to send lawyer with it to get him out of jail on habeas cor pus proceedings in almost every town. His peculiar motion saved his arm, which, he said only last summer, had never been sore in twenty-three years of use.

SPORTING NEWS. .OF' THE WORLD

Several clubs have agreed to offer a purse if the match is made.
 St Louis sports expect q revival of boxing in that city in short time, Already several important matches have been arranged to be held there, notably the one between Andrew To- kell of England and Harry Forbes of Chicago, for the bantam title. An other bout between Danny Dougherty and Tommy Feltz is also on the tapis.
 There is no likelihood of Jimmy Britt and Joe Cans coming together, at least for the present. Gans's pro- posal to stop Britt within twenty rounds is not taken seriously by the Californian, who says that the offer is bluff. When became pugilist," 1" said Britt, T made a resolution not to meet colored men and don't intend to go back on it now"
 Tom Carey, the Terrible Irishman,'' ,'' who has been doing excellent work in the heavyweight class, will have a chance to show the Boston sports how good pugilist he is. Carey has been matched by his manager, Johnny Mack, to meet Charley Haughey, the Lowell boxer, before the Lenox A. C.. Boston, on. January 2S. They are slated to meet for twelve rounds.
 The match between Jack Downey and Billy Moore of St Louis has been practically clinched. It is not likely that the contest will be held in private, for the boys believe they can make more money holding the struggle in public. Frank Richheimer, Downey' s manager, is in communication with the Essex A. c. of Boston. and the com bat will in all probability be decided before that club. Downey and Moore have bet $25O on the side.
 Ben Jordan has received tempting offer to visit this country next fall and meet either Young Corbett or Ter ry McGOvern. A fistic promoter of San Francisco has written to the Eng fish fighter that if he accepts be will give him bonus of $2,OOO whether he wins or loses Jordan replied that he will not entertain a proposition so far as America is concerned at present. Jordan is now matched to tackle Kid Lavigne before the National Sporting club on Derby night
 4IAA OlCC4Ol1, w uO SCCulS u dFC AC- ceived a new lease of life, has been matched to box Bill Mccall before the National Sporting club, Sydney, Aus tralia, on February 10. The limit is 20 rounds. Mccall while not great fighter, is acknowledgedly clever and stirring mill is expected Should Creedon win he will go to England where he has been promised match before the National Sporting club London, with Jack Palmer, the crack English middleweight.
 Jack Moffatt, the clever Chicago middleweight, who was forced to re tire from the ring because of an in- jured shoulderblade does not think that Jack Munroe is such a great pugihst. Moffatt and Munroe boxed on several occasions in the west a few years ago. Moffatt declares thai Munroe is willing and all that, but is not clever. He can take a stiff lick ing, but that's about all,' continued Moffatt. Perhaps with more expert ence he may be all right

 Philadelphia, Jan 27.-Peter Maher was knocked out by Joe Choynski near the end of the second round in their bout before the Washington Sporting club last night.
 Maher started in to force the fight ing, but the Californian met his rushes half way, and the first round was a fierce interchange of short arm jabs and hooks Maher swung again and again in an effort to reach vital spot, but his aim was bad in most attempts and Choynski cleverly blocked those that came within range and countered stifiy on ribs and heart. The men went to their corners with bellows to mend.
 Tn the second Maher was more cau- tious and fenced bit for an opening before rushing to close quarters. He drove stiff right into Choynski's
