NEIL,s sWEEPING DEFI.

New York, July 19.-Frankie Neil, the bantam champion of the world who is now in town, has issued q sweeping challenge to all boxers who can scale 116 pounds or a little over. Although the bantam limit is 116 pounds, Neil is not averse to making a match at a little extra avoirdupois, just to get an engagement.
 Neil was about the city yesterday, taking in the sights. He stopped at several places where the sports gath CT, and they had a chance to size up the Californian. Neil is good look ing young fellow, with square jaws and a determined expression. He has a pair of fine shoulders and long, sin eWY arms. That he is strong is evil dent as soon as he shakes your hand. He has firm grasp and steady one. This Is Neil's first trip east.
 Neil is now matched to meet Hugh ey McGovern at Philadelphia this month in a six round bout. All the details of this scrap are to be settled to-day, when he will have talk with Sam Harris. Neil has issued sweep ing challenge, and one of the men he names in his def is Jimmy Britt. Neil has strong idea that he can whip Britt. He says:
 T think that I can whip Britt, and if he will arrange a battle at 130 pounds. weigh in at o'clock on the night of the mill. will sign articles right away and throw in a side bet of 1 $1O,0O0 in the bargain. know Britt very well. I used to box with him when we were just budding as pugil. ists, and I don't think that he has very much on me. If he fails to give me a fight. will then direct my at. tention to men in my class.'
 Neil further declared that if any hitch crops up regarding his scraI with McGoveln he will take on Tom. my Love, Sam Fitzpatrick's new ban tam. Sam is i'll town and will have . confab with Neil later in the week Love is one of the best drawing cards in Philadelphia, and there are many who think that he will give Neil his hardest battle if they meet.

WHO GETS CREDIT?

When one pitcher replaces another during game, which one is to be cred ited with the result?" is favorite query of base ball fans. Here is Nick Young's answer of a few years ago, now generally accepted: When 9 man commences to pitch and is taken out with the game tie and the game is then lost, the second pitcher gets credit for the loss. When man begins to pitch and is taken out with the score against his side, and the second man goes in and the loss is not overcome, the first man gets the defeat. When man begins to pitch and is taken out while his side is behind, and the second pitcher goes in and the game is won, the second man is given the credit. When a man begins to pitch and IS taken out with his side ahead and the second man taking his place, the game is lost, the second man gets the credit for the defeat"

between the two leading universities of America-Yale and Harvard. This is indeed a record that never has been, and probably never will be equaled by any member of the big four teams. In him Harvard had a pitch CT it may we'll be proud of. He stands out to-day as the college baseball mar vel of the year. Clarkson prepared for Harvard at the Cambridge Latin school, where he early gave promise of that exceptional ability which later on was to distinguish him on the Crimson nine. It was no unusual mat ter for him to strike out 15 or IS men in the games which were played between the 1901 youngsters and the prep school teams in the neighborhood of Boston. and in one game he made the unusual record of striking out A out of the entire 27 men.
 Walter does not seem to resemble eitherof his brothers much in his deliv- cry" says New York sporting writer. sJohn Clarkson, the first of the fam- fly to acquire fame on the field, and one of the best pitchers who ever walked into the old-fashioned pitch CTS box, was not man of overneces- sary motion. He got a great deal of his speed from his pushing power of the shoulder muscles above his right arm, and he had wonderful accuracy with it that, enabled him to put the ball within fractions of an inch of where he wanted it to go. Arthur Clarkson was pitcher of more body swing, but was not as graceful as John Clarkson. To add to that, he was not as effectice. Occasionally he would pitch game that was as good as could be demanded by the most exacting. Then he would have week perhaps when he couldn't make much headway against any team. He never seemed to be so fond of playing ball as did John, and drifted out of the sport perhaps as much from his own selection as from any other reason. Too much should not be expected from Walter Clarkson this year. Although he has been long time at Harvard. where he had abundant opportunity to play ball much of the year, heA has not had the experience that some minor leaguers possess when they en- ter the game, and if Clarke Griffith is disposed to use the youngster very much there will probably come some times when he will be bit wabbly.' Most pitchers are except those of the type who seem never likely to run down"

THE PUGILISTS. CORBETT
 IS ANXIOUS
Still Seeking a Battle With Any of the Pugilists Tommy Murphy Won Neil Talks Fight.

Young Corbett is not to fight before the middle of December when he hopes to have another try at Jimmy Britt before one of the California clubs. Corbett will spend a few weeks in Atlantic City, and will then go to Saratoga to take the waters, and at the same time look over the odds in the betting ring.
 Corbett has had several offers to fight before the Chicago and Philadel- phia clubs, but the inducements were hardly tempting enough to warrant his accepting the terms. One club offered him guarantee of $1 300, win. lose or draw, to meet any man they would name. Corbett was about to accept but when he figured it out that '. would take not less than five weeks to fit him for a contest even at six rounds, and that his training expenses would easily foot up $1,500 he decided it would be a waste of time for him to accept the offer.
 He says he would gladly train for five weeks and fight for $1,5OO if he was assured of another battle a few weeks later for a $2, 500 or $3, 900 purse but his experiences, he says, have taught him that no reliance can be placed in club managers pulling off the contests when arranged
 Corbett says he would jump at a match with Terry McGoyern if some Philadelphia club made him good offer, but he added that he thought Terry would not look with favor on another meeting with him.
