THE PUGlLISTS.
TOO MUCH
 TRAINING BAD
Joe Ch0ynski is an Example of Excessive Work Tommy White Was An. Other-Other Notes.

Joe Choyinski would have been champion but for his mania for train ing. Joe just sapped all the vitality out of his system, and when he start, @d training there was nothing left to train on. When Choyinski was boy around San E'rincisco he had q wall lop that was the envy of all the other lads In those days he did not train, because he knew nothing about pre- pairing for a contest, and the result was that he Topped out his oppon- ents with a single jolt.
 Then he began to rise in the world. He sought to become a real champ,on. ] He secured passage for Australia af- ! ter having defeated every opponent ! on the coast, with the single exception ' of Jim Corbett. He arrived in Aus
 tralia about the time that Joe God ! dard was fast coming to the front, land, of course, a match was quickly
 arranged between the pair. Joe, in 2 the meantime, secured Larry Foley ! to give him advice how to train, and
 when he got through and entered tue zring on the night of the fight he was
 50 finely drawn" that every muscle
 stood out like whip-cord on his body.
 For about three rounds ne walloped 5aWay at Goddard and dropped him all lover the ring. Any one of the punches i De had in San Francisco would have lbut the Kangaroo fighter away. In the kFourth round the American was all in.
 He had no more steam left He had left his endurance ill the training
 quarters. and the result was that God
 dard turned in and knocked Joe out ill tue fourth round. They had sec
 ond meeting and exactly the same Sthing occurred. Choyinski did not $profit by lis former experience.
 When Joe came back to this coun- 3try he kept up his continual training System. He came under the wing of
 Parson" Davies, who labored long
 and earnestly with Joe to stop his
 training habit But it was no avail
 1he moment that Dayies's back was
 turned Choyinsk would begin train Hing.
 Tommy White lost the decision to
 George Dixon in Denver, Col, simply
 Because of excessive training White
 labored under the impression that if
 he defeated Dixon at 122 pounds !e
 would be the featherweight champion &of the world He had signed to meet
 the little colored boxer at 126 pounds
 When he came to weigh in he called 3attcntion to the fact that he weighed
 121H pounds, and if he defeo-e] Dixon. wanted the title to go with it.
 On the other hand George weighed
 121h pounds, and if he defeated
 Dixon simply slaughtered White.

PULLIAM's BLUFF CALLED.

Pulliams declaration of war has been received with merriment all along the line. AAere is what former Ma tional league magnate who lives not far from Philadelphia says of it.: "How can the National league go to war when the Boston club has already lost $10O,OOO in two years; when the Philadelphia club has just assessed it's stockholders at the" rate of 10 per cent to begin the season; when the St Louis club is $5S.0OO in the hole because of unpaid back salaries and money ad- vanced for new players; when the Brooklyn club had to sell Dahlen to New York to make up a loss; when Chicago and Cincinnati have both gone on record as being anxious for peace at any price? There will be no war unless the American league declares one. Then there will be d panic and Pulliam will be called down"

BASE BALL.
MUST STAY
 IN CONNECTICUT
Worcester Will Remain in
 New England League Norwich or New Haven
 Cannot Go There-Notes

Worcester will be in the New Eng land base ball league. Mike Dermott, former manager of the Fall River team, will manage the Worcester base ball club. The New England league will have meeting to-day, but will not release it's claim for territorial rights in Worcester. Rather the league will retain its rights and foster a move ment to place 8 New England league team in that city. There is no chance for the Norwich or any other team of the Connecticut league being trans felred to- Worcester. The New Eng land league has territorial rights in Worcester, and will not let go. Mr Kittredge found that the Norwich club isn't entirely please with it's prospects for the coming season. The rent of the grounds has been raised $150 for the coming season, and club owners say they lost money last season back ing a strong club which was well up in the race all season. The prospects were, therefore, so discouraging that the owners Of the team looked with favor on Mir Kittredges suggestion to transfer the team to Worcester.

The entire team is now on hand, except Chesbro. wno is teaching the Harvard men how to shoot, and Catcher Kleinow, whose father died the other day in Milwaukee. Yesterdays arrivals did not put on suits, but all the others had profitaDle practice morning and afternoon. The weather was delightful and the days swork for starter pretty stiff. 1--e players got their fill Of batting an fielding practice, and, though tired at the end of the day, enjoyed the wor.> thoroughly. All hands were lively, El- berfeld and Ganzel especially so. An derson fitted in nicely in left field and Unglaub played second base in Will liams's absence. He gets over ground rapidly and easily. Fultz, Elberfeld and Conroy mt the ball on the nose in the batting practice, though, of course, Putnam and Bliss, the pitchers. only tossed them up. A hot grounder hit Bliss in the calf of the leg and raised a big lump. The first regular exhibi- ton game will be played on March IS with Atlanta.

Black Bills excessive weight aided him somewhat Both men were badly punished.
 
 Johnny Kelly of Philadelphia wants to match Fitz, Mccoy or ~ Corbett against Marvin Hart or Gus Ruhlin for six rounds in the Quaker City.
 With the usual accuracy of the English sporting papers, q London weekly publishes a photograph of George Choyinski, the famous American pueilist." The picture might be Jim Corbett or Joe Walcott, but it is even further away from Joe Cnoylnski.
 Owen Ziegler has evidently recover cd his former heavy punch. for on Thursday night at Philadelphia he Knocked out Jack Mckenzie in three rounds. The two were to have fought six rounds at catchweights. Ziegler from the start iabbed and hooked his right to McKenzie's face, but could not connect with his opponents jaw. weaken Mckenzie and with well directed blow on the point of the chin Mckenzie was put to sleep.

FOR TRIAL MONDAY,
Negroes Accused of Murder OF

Negroes Accused of Murder OF
Hodges Family to BE Arrnigned.
Paul Reed and Will Cato, the ne
groes accused of the murder and Gre
nation of the Hodges family, near
Statesboro last Thursday night, will
be taken to that place Monday morn
ing for trial. At present they are con-
fined in the Chatham county jail.
While the evidence was conclusive at
the coroner's inquest, it is not thought
by the officials of Bulloch county that
there will be any attempt to lynch the
negroes. but that instead the people
will be satisfied with a speedy trial.
Nothing has been said about taking
as a guard a company of Savannah
troops.
While the principal testimony intro
duced at the corOner's inquest was
derived from the wives of the prisoners,
who could not be compelled to TESTIFY
in court against their husbands. 1t is
understood that there is ready a mass
Of evidence. which it was not thought
wise or necessary to introduce at the
hearing before the coroner.
Since being brought TO the jail in
Savannah the negroes have given no
trouble. Their behavior does not in
dictate that they are in great fear, bear
ing their imprisonment like the in
mates of the Jail accused of lesser
crimes.

Mayor Myers Says Alderman Da-
vnnt Did Not Act from Prejudice.
The white dove of peace now hovers
over the City Council. Whatever of
bitterness there may have been left
from the recent trouble when Alder
man Davant attempted to have held up
a bill of the Dixon Lumber Company,
was dispelled by Mayor Myers at the
close of yesterday afternoons session.
All business had been transacted and
Council was about to adjourn, when the
Mayor arose.

said. "in regard to purported inter-
view recently published as coming
from me. The interview said Col. Da-
want in holding up thes bill of the Dixon
Lumber Company was actuated purely
by personal prejudice. l did state to
a gentleman connected with the paper,
not intending it for publication, that I
thought Col. Davant TO some extent
was acting from prejudice. have
since learned that this is not true, and
I take pleasure in making this state
ment."
At the conclusion of these remarks
Council adjourned and Alderman Da-
want and the Mayor shook hands heart
lily, while others looked on and smiled
approVngly.

sisting of punch and light eatables
had been prepared. When the punch
had been passed to the visitors the con-
tinued prosperity and usefulness of
the Board of Trade was drunk as a
toast. President John r. Young,
Vice President j. j. Cummings and
Supt. c. w. Saussy were the hosts of
the occasion.
They made welcome not only the
members of the Board of Trade and
the guests. consisting for the most
part of the officers of the other trade
bodies of the city, but also a number
of business men who dropped in to adj
mire the beauty and convenience of
the new quarters, and to extend their
congratulations to the organization
on the many advantages of the change
in it's home.
Though the reception had been
planned to last but an hour visitors
continued to come in long after
o'clock, and in fact. it was not until
2 o'clock or later, that the last of them
had called and paid their respects.
The new quarters, which consist of
three rooms and a large and roomy
passa geway at the northwest corner of
the Germania Bank building on the
second floor. have already been de-
scribed in the Morning News. Nothing
has been spared that could add to
their attractiveness or comfort, and
the officers Of the board and the MEM
bers of the Floor Committee who have
had the matter of preparing them in
charge, received many congratula-
tions on the excellence of the results
secured
