NO AMERICAN TEAM.

America will send no team to Eu- rope for the international cup race un- less the automobiles entered in the elimination trials in April show those qualities which are necessary to sue cussful competition against the cars Of Europe.
 This has been practically agreed upon by the members of the A. c. A., who have the cup trials in charge, and the race committee will give the cup racers a thorough try-out of from 200 to 300 miles on either the Virginia Beach or Ormond Beach courses in April.
 Providing a car cannot stand the strain of two or three hundred miles on these level courses the committee will reject it, and the car will not be allowed to represent America in Flu rope.
 The failure of last years cars proved a distinct setback to American manufacturing interests, iniuring the exporting business to greater extent than as considered possible E>

THE PUGlLlSTS.
MAKES NEW ! AGREEMENT
Young Corbett and Britt Will Divide Sixty.Five and Thirty-Five.-AuStin Rice Won-Notes.

San Francisco, March 1O.--A new
 agreement was made yesterday be-
 tween Young Corbett and Jimmy Britt
 Tn regard to the division of the purse
 In their fight on March 25. The first
 agreement, when they signed. articles,
 was that if. Corbett should win he
 would take 60 per cent, leaving Britt
 40 per cent If Britt should win the
 gross receipts were to be evenly di
 vided, each taking 30 per cent. The
 new agreement provides that the win
 ner shall take oo per cent and the loser |35 per cent This suits both men per- fectIy. Corbett is so confident of vic tory that he sees 5 per cent more in his pocket than he would have gained under the old agreement, while Britt. wno is equally sure of winning will gain 15 per cent by the new deal Both men are training hard. Interest in the fight surpasses that in any recent con- test, and the house promises to be very large.

IRISH ATHLETIC GAMES
Annual Carnival Will Be Held in
 New York.

The Greater New York Irish Ath- letic association will hold its annual carnival of sport in Madison Square Garden Saturday evening, March F. Nearly all of New York's prominent Irishmen and Irish-Americans will be present. ,:
 The two events that will draw out the full memb ership of the Irish Ath- letic association and it's followers will be the Irish football game between the Kerrymen and the Irish Volunteers. The game will decide the champion ship. 1t is the intention of the G. N. T.. I. A. A. to send the winning team to the worlds fair. !
 Hurling for generations has been the national game of Ireland. What Dase ball is to America hurling is to Ireland although there is no comparison be- tween the two games. The game of hurling is a game where heads are smashed and shins are broken. The teams Saturday night will represent the pick of the metropolitan district against q team from Syracuse. Iresi- dent Conway feels firmly convinced that 1t will be the game of the year.
 Arthur Duffy, the 1O0-yard cham pion, who made such poor showing at the games of the New York Athletic club Tuesday night, will enter the fif- tv-yard dash. He will try Nto better the record of Meyers, made in 1884. of 51s. seconds. Torry of Yale, who out footed Duffy Tuesday night, will also be on the mark with him.

BASE BALL. THE TEAM .
 FOR SALE
So Says Attorney Danaher About New Haven Treasurer FarrelrS New Proposition.

William Aufort. assistant manager of the New Haven baseball club, yes terday confirmed the rumor of the sale of the team to Cornelius J. Danaher of Meriden. He said: '"The proposi- tion to take the team off the hands of MT Canavan was made at the meet ing last week of the league, held in this city. At that time, representing MT Canavan, reported that did not think that it was possible to get satis- factory grounds in this city, and that the only hope of the team for this season was to move it to Worcester"
 MT Danaher was seen at his home i'll Meriden yesterday. He said: "It is not true that bought the team with any definite, idea in mind for running it or transferring it. The team will stay in New Haven, but have no idea who will run it. I am open for an offer from any party who is re- sponsible and who can satisfy me that it is for the best interests of the league to take it.''
 Directors Bristol of Meriden and O'Rourke of Bridgeport will report at the special league meeting next Mon day on new grounds.

Story of the Robin.

TRENTON, N. J.. March 1O.-SpeaK- ing in opposition to bill for the de- struction of robins as fruit destroyers, the following story was told by Hand some Harry" Scovel, assemblyman from Camden, in the legislature: sThe robin was first magpie and gray in color and unprepossessing in general appearance, but with a most sympa- thetic nature. He approached the cross of Calvary at the time of the crucifix- ion, timidly uttering cries of grief With his wings he tried to wipe off the face of Jesus, and with his beak he tried to, draw forth one of the thorns from the forehead. A single drop of blood fell on his breast, and from then until now. he has been called red breast He is the bird of God, the her. aid of the glad tidings of spring, and shall vote to protect him if every man in the house votes against him."

Riot Proclamation Issued by Mayoa

Riot Proclamation Issued by nfayon
 B0wIus.
 SPRINGFIELD, O., March 10.-ThA situation here is considered by the au. thorities to be more threatening than at any time since the beginning Of the present race troubles. While Governok Herrick has not proclaimed state Of martial law, such a condition practi. cally exists in the down town districts and the burned portions of the town formerly occupied by the negro re- sorts. Ten companies of the Ohio nas tfonal guard are on picket duty. and seven more companies are expected. The saloons without exception have been closed, and many other lines of business have practically ceased. 1t is estimated that fully 25,O00 people, throng the streets, visiting the county Jail, the telegraph pole at Main street and Fountain avenue where the negro, Dixon was strung up and the burned out districts of the levee.
 As tine resuIt of repeated requests from influential citizens Mayor Bow Jus has finally consented not only t0 close the remaining negro saloons, ho- tels and lodging houses which are un- der the ban of the mob, hFlt has orr dered the proprietors in every instance to move out all the Intoxicating drinks and in some cases even the fixtures including gambling apparatus.
 The following proclamation has been issued and posted by Mayor Bowlus:
 ITO the People of Springfield You or fad %e }x, NS>f& the streets of the city after nightfall except in cases where business of ne- cessity requires you to go thereon and to refrain from congregating upon the streets or in public places of the city. {
 Compliance with the above nequest3 is deemed to be necessary for the pres ervation of the peace and good order of the community and to prevent repe-, tition of acts of mob violence. Any one found lettering in public places in violation of this request will be promptly prosecuted"
 Colonel Mead's troops in dispensing a crowd of rioters recovered lot of dynamite that was intended for blow ing up the remaining colored dives. The troops are dispensing crowds and will control the situation during day~ light, but reign of terror after dark is feared.
 Two hundred armed negroes, it is re@ ported, have gathered in Clarke's woods, near the outskirts of the city, and it is feared that there will be. clash at any moment. The streets are crowded with excited citizens, while terror stricken women and children remain behind closely fastened doors, momentariiy expecting the torch to be applied to their homes by the half crazed negroes.

NORWICH DENIES IT..

Regarding the report published in a Worcester paper of the proposed trans ferring of the Norwich franchise to Worcester, Manager Morrissey said yesterday morning that he knew noth- ing about it and there was no truth in it. Such action is not contemplated.
 After the last meeting in New Ha- ven Manager Mo1rissey said that O'Neil of Holyoke jokingly said that he guessed the league would have to transfer New Haven to Worcester and Norwich to New Haven. That was where, perhaps, the papers got hold of the idea that the Norwich franchise was to be transferred. There is still some trouble over the, grounds i'll Greenville. but matters, are expected to be amicably settled.
