ADDITIONS FOR YALE.
Bassball CaSes Sw.mming Pool and
 Quarters for Crew.

New Haven, Dec 9.---YaIe is plan ming for more additions to her ath7 ietie sbHildings. A new baseball cage for indoor work, costing perhaps $3o,- 900, q new swimming pool worth about 10000, a remodeling of the crew quarters at Gales Ferry and q brand new boat house in this city are things that will be built as soon as the alumni come forward with the neces- sary money. There seems to be no hurry in the minds of the graduates, for they Nare slow to respond to the demands of the athletic managers.
 The canvass for the funds for the cage has begun more earnestly than ever this fall. It would be about im- possible, if all the funds needed were subscribed at once, for the cage to be finished in time for the winter drill of the candidates for the team for 1905, but the athletic managers here feel that none, of the needs for more funds for Yale athletics is more pressing than that for a new cage.
 According to the plans which have been drawn up, and will be carried out when the funds are obtained, the new cage win be a structure with exten- ' sive skyiights, supported by iron gird- CTS extending from the present gymna- sium over the gymnasium lot to the spot where the present cage now stands. This will give a plot of ground under cover almost as large as regulation baseball infield diamond, on which the baseball candidates can work in their indoor training. l
 The scheme for the construction of a new swimming pool is for the stu dents to have large tank construct ed as a part of the structure inclosed in the new baseball cage. The present pool is fn the gymnasium, and is much too small. The chief promoter of the new pool is Ogden Mills Reid, son of Whitelaw Reid, and manager of the swimming team last year. The cost of the new pool will be about $20,0O0. if the promoters can carry out their plans.
 A new boat house for the crew ip this city has been wanted for years, but it's need is not regarded as so pressing as that for a remodeling of the permanent quarters of the crews for their training at Gales Ferry. The university navy, last June, bought the houses which have for years been leased by the crew managers annual ly, and intended to put them into con- dition for permanent occupation for the oarsmen, with running water, baths and modern conveniences, which they sadly lacked.
 This work was halted this fall when Harvard demanded of Yale that she give up professional crew coaches, but now that Harvard has decided to abandon that stand and to hire pro- fessional coach herself, Yale will go ahead, assured that the races will be rowed indefinitely on the Thames. It is expected that these improvements will be begun at once, and will be completed when the oarsmen get to Gales Ferry for their regular training in JarTe. i.n+ .#s,

WRESTLING.
GOTCH WILLING TO
 -- MEET 1OM IENKTN

Joseph Carroll, manager for Frank Gotch, the wrestling champion, says in reply to Tom Jenkins challenges:
 "Gotch is ready to meet the big fel- low at any time, and we will make the match for $1,00O side if he likes. Jenklns' challenge really merits no at. tention in the absence of a forfeit. Let him post some money and we will give him match at once. All we want is a fair deal and a good refer ee.''
 Gotch said he stood ready to back Farmer Burnes against Jim Parr at ITO pounds for $500 side, the match to come off in two weeks.

THE PUGILlSTS.
BRITT MAY . ~s
 BACK DOWN
Wants 8 Clean Break i'm the ClincheS-SeveraI l Good Contests Took Place in the Last Two Nights.

A dispute as to how the coming con test between Jimmy Britt and Battling Nelson at San Francisco on DecembeE 20 is to be fought has arisen. When the men signed articles they agreed to meet under strict Marquis of Queens berry rules. This code, if properly in terpreted, calls for the rivals to punch with one arm free in clinches. The referee can only separate them when they are both locked. Now Britt wants to have the contest decided on clean break. Nelson will not consent to this, and the question has to be settled one way or the other very shortly. If the hitch is not adjusted the match in all probability will fall through.als
 Tn the majority of Britt's contests he has never lodged a kick over the way the battle was fought. Any reasonable arrangement was satisfactory to him, and his change of front is now surpris- ing. His friends say that he is moro at home under straight Queensberry rules, and they cannot understand why he should want change now unless he is afraid of the fighting Dane.
 Nelson is very confident over the out come of the mill. He Is sure that hs will defeat Britt and is willing to bet 5000 on his chances. 'I figure now that Britt will be warm favorite at 2 to on," said Nelson, ''and If this is the case I will wager all the money !, can gather at this price. Should the price be even money it will make no difference. My coin will go down just the same" Nelson is working hard. So is Britt. and if they keep up their present course there is no chance of, either being out of trim unless one of them should become stale. Eddie Santry is directing Nelson's training and acting as. Nelson's sparring part. nor

TWo LIYELY RoUTs.

The six-round bout between George ISrall- of Philadelphia and Roxey Ka- nell of Buffalo, at the Wilmington Ath- letic club. Wilmington, Del, last We'd nesday night, was a lively affair. It went the limit and 1rall was returned tue winner. Kanell showed 3 ability to take all kinds of punishment, but he lacked science. For three rounds KralI4 made punching bag of him, but the Philadelphian could not put him away. When it seemed as if Ka. nell was doomed to decisive defeat he would invariably come back, fresh as daisy, eager to mix 1t up. The pre- liminary between Billy Gray of New York and Fred Blackburn of PhiladeL phia was stopped in the fifth round. Gray was outclassed and no match for the sturdy negro boxer. r

HOW FITZGERALD WON.

Willie Fitzgerald of Brooklyn is evi- dently back in his old time form, judg- ing from the way he disposed of Otto SieloH of Chicago in a ten-round bout at Indianapolis, Ind, last Wednesday night Sieloff, who Is a puncher of ability, was no match for the local man, who took his measure in seven rounds. The fight was a corker. There was not dull period throughout Both were intent on scoring a knockout, if possible, as speedily as they could. In the first three rounds, Fitzgerald went tor his mans stomach. He drove punch after punch into his opponents body, and Sielof was compelled to eoYeRnp very often. Tn the, follEth and fifth rounds Sieloff banged Fitzgerald on the jaw, and the latter was groggy. But he was in such fine condition that he quickly recovered and had the bet, ter of the go at short range. In the sixth round Fitzgerald landed heavy rights on Sieloff's jaw, and when the bell sounded Sieloff was weak but game. Tn the next Fitzgerald finally broke through Sieloff's guard and put him to sleep with a right on the chin The attendance was large Tom Tag gart and former Mayor Bookwalter of Indianapolis were at the ringside..!sv

THE SPORTING NEWS.

Brooklyn bested Fred Cooley of Chi cago. The men were evenly matched in the matter of height and reach and put up fast contest throughout. But. Ter showed considerable improvement over his last appearance here and mixed up in lively fashion. They stood right up and slugged hard in every round, the Brooklyn man always hav- ing shade on the westerner.
 Four lively preliminary bouts pre- ceded the main event, the best fight of the night being between Mississippi, the former jockey, and Johnny White, a lively colored youngster. It was a slashing bout, with the honorsin favor of White.

LACK WILLIAMs WON.

Jack Williams of PhiladelpniaA who put away Peter Maher on two occa, sions, showed what he could do in a long fight last Wednesday night Vii, Hams met Frank Demott of Rochester at WilkesbarEe, Pa, and received the award on points. Demott started off like a winner. He swung both hands and put Williams down for the count Of six in the second. This feat sur prised Williams and he went at the Rochester man in vicious fashion, In the third he fought Demott all over the ring. He shook his opponent up with jabs and uppercuts and set tell. ing pace. Demott was very weak from the punishment he received, but re- cuperated quickly. Demott was tioored twice in the tenth round, and the hell saved him. Williams continued to have all the better of it in the succeed ing rounds, but he had fought himself out and did not have the strength to put Demott to sleep.

ABUSE or ATHLETICS.
Muscle Building Does No4 Necessarily
 AmpFove the Health.

Muscle Building Does No4 Necessarfly
 Amprove the Health. Athletics may be good or evil and in the same manner as a two edged sword.
 The prime object in athletics is irn- provement of the general health. One writer has said that health, like hap piness, does not exist. He said the body consists of number of mechan- isms which have the closest and most exact relations, and as they approxi- mate to harmony there is health, but when disordered there is i'll health.
 To obtain good health muscle build ing is not a necessity. One cannot judge of the persons health by the size and hardness of the muscles. The con- verse may be true.
 To obtain health one must not be in perfectly trained condition owing to the effects of severe training on the nervous system.
 There is no evidence to prove that athletics and muscle building improve the constitution.
 One should always keep in mind the fact that built up or hypertrophied muscle has tendency to degenerate. The heart, being a muscular organ, shares in this tendency.
 In regard to the moral side of the question, it remains to be proved that athletics per SC corrupt the morals. Dr. E. R. Sturgis is confident that ath- letics improve the morals of commu- nifty.
 # Although the evidence for and against athletics is contradictory, the whole subject may be summed up by stating that athletics are beneficial when properly and 1udiciously applied and very injurious when the precau. tions above mentioAed are ignored or carelessly regarded.-- MedlcaI Record. Motors For NTIlliOnaire Babies.
 Newest of the fashionable mothers whims>is the self propelling baby car riage, miniature motor car built in all respects on the lines of the matron's own flier, says the New York Press. The tiny automobile, which apparently is destined to be the toy of the youth ful rich in the present decade, is about half as long again as the ordinary go- cart. 1t is made of material similar to that used in big touring cars. except that the sides have panels of woven rattan for ventilation and the under. body is not so heavy in proportion. Electricity alone is used for propul- sion, gasoline and steam naturally be- ing out of the question. The little runabout carries in it's storage batter ies power to drive it for fifty miles. It can be controlled by the child, if the youthful motorist is old enough, and also by side levers easily accessi- ble to the bonne walking beside, it. The younger children of George Jay Gould on Christmas day will become the proud possessors of two such cars, and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt's youngsters are to be equally fortunate Each of the handsome vehicles. small though they are, is sold at price run ning well into four figures.
