THE SPORTING NEWS.

the reply, "but l am positive that Jef- fries knows not what fear is."
 One question brought on another, and several incidents connected with Jeffries' career were related, just as an illustration of his gameness. Here are two Of the. most remarkable:
 When Jeffries fought Bob Fitzsim- mons the last time at San Francisco Fitz hit the champion an awful blow, breaking his nose. The next punch almost knocked Jeff's eye out. When Jim came back to his corner his face was covered with blood. Turning to his seconds he said: ''There is some thing the matter with my eye" He was told that it was bulging out of ''and I'll go in and knock the other fellows head off D The next round Jeff knocked Eitz out.
 Another time Jeff was out hunting and got lost from his party. He wan dered over the mountains and acct- dentally walked onto a cliff and could not find his way out. He got lost in the morning and it was dusk before he was found. When his companions came upon him Jeff had little mem Orandum book in his hand, with a lot of figures on it.
 'What are you doing, Jm?" asked one of he rescuers.
 T was just figuring what Billy Brady will make this year on that new show of his if his receipts aver age $1 600 a night"
 Jeff had wandered into a regular death trap, and although his position was most perilous one, he swore that he had never for g. moment thought that he was ill any danger. He only laughed at his friends when they told him, with blanched faces, that they had almost given him up for lost.

THE PUGlLISTS.
YOUNG AND
 OLD CHAMPIONS
tCOrbett Touches Old John L's Heart by His Offer of AsSiSracce-nany Battles Took Place Last Nisht.

William H. Rothwell, better known as Young Corbett, called on John l.. Sullivan the other day at the big fel- lows home in Roxbury, Mass. Sulli- van was sitting up, ill the parior, and was feeling much better as the result of what he said was hearty meal.
 Young Corbett's first question was about the health of his old friend.
 70, I'm all right, kid. How are yon2 Sit down nere and tell me about that fight of yours with Britt. My nephews have read a good deal about that scrap to me and from what I can understand you got pretty raw deal. How about it, kid?~
 John, Pm something like yourself. never like to make excuses. but any one who saw my fight with Britt will tell you what I say is true. I got the short end Of that deal. I should have won"
 "Say, Billy" said Sullivan, in deep voice, ssthat's the right way to talk. It's sportsmanlike. Never take the credit away from the other fellow. if you've been licked. But you think you were trimmed out of the decision, eh?"
 ''I sure do. John. Why, if I had got a draw, I'd still have a kick coming"
 Then followed a lengthy explanation of the referees decision, and a de- scription of the entire twenty rounds.
 t'JOhn, are your eyes well enough to see that cut over my left eye?" and Corbett brushed back the hair from his forehead.
 Sullivan looked through his blue glasses at a wound over Young Cor bett's eye.
 "Yes. I see it, kid. Bumped heads, I supposeT
 "That's just it. and it's the only mark I carried out of the ring. Even my body. which is soft. did not show a mark after the fight, while Britt had to take to his bed for five elys. Now who do you think had the best of the light"
 ''That's rignt You must have given him a great walloping," and Sullivan reflected on the days when he was wont to lay opponents low with his great right hand
 The conversation continued for over an hour
 If there is anything I can do for you while I am in Boston don't hesi- fate to call on me- said Corbett. "Re- member, John. you have free access to my salary at the theater as long as I'm here"
 This evidently touched Sullivan It was the first time anyone had offered to aid him substantially, but he quick ly replied that although he appreciated the offer. he WAS pretty comfortably fixed and would be all right when he got his health back. and got enough to take him to some health resort.
 Young Corbett declared that during his trip to England he would get up a monster benefit for Sullivan on the other side. manage it and box himself, and turn the entire receipts over to Sul- livan.
 John l.. objected to this, however. as he expects to take trip to England fImself before next fall.

Henry Rerf Won.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, April g. = Irene Lindsey was the only beaten favorite at Montgomery park. She met defeat in the second race, which was won by Henry Bert, carrying top weight and backed from 40 to 20 to 1. Irene Lindsey and SkiIlful for practically the entire distance ran a. dead heat, several lengths ahead of the field. At the stretch Henry Bert overhauled them in wonderful burst of speed, and the three finished noses apart.

GRANEY,s MANLY STATEMENT.

T am through with prize fighting for good" says Eddie Graney. Al though I gave an honest opinion in the Britt-Corbett contest, I dissatisfied many of my closest friends, and for that reason I shall not enter the pr1ze ring again as a referee. My expert ence has been, similar to that of many of the greatest experts of the past. I am perfectly satisfied that my decision was just one. do not like the criti- cisms that have been cast upon my honesty In declaring Britt the win ner knowingly burned up the money of many who are dear to me. I felt that was acting rightly. I am in- tensely sorry that Corbett was defeat ed. l was there, however, to deal out justice, and I acted without prejudice or fayor."

At New York.

New York, April 9.-Back from their southern trip and with every man on the team looking fit for hard campaign, the New York Americans of 1904 made their first bow to a home crowd yesterday. They played the Murray Hills in the narrow grounds of Olympic field, 136th street and Fifth avenue, and the hard hitting the Americans did was corroborative evidence that they had worked hard In the south to get in condition.
 Not a, day on the trip was wasted, ]" said Manager Griffith yesterday, "and all of the men have worked conscien- tiorgly to get into shape. The team spirit is strong and while won't make any predictions as to where we will finish, will say that don't see a team that appears to have any better chance than ours
 Then the New Yorks got in and beat the Murray Hills 10 to 1. It was hard and healthy exhibition of hit ting to which the AIner1cans treated the spectators. Williams gathered in five hits, Anderson four, Chesebro four, and so on down the line.
 Jack Kleinow, the new catcher, made a good impression by his hitting and clean cut work behind the bat. A foul tip in the sixth inning split one of his fingers, and as neither McGuire nor Anderson was on the grounds, Anderson went in to catch. The score: RH.E New York ....5 341s 3-19 23 0

 Cambridge, Mass, April 9.--By the action of the Harvard athletic com mittee last night in disqualIfying E. l.. Grant. the freshman third baseman of last spring, from representing the university on the diamond, Harvard has been deprived of the services of one Of the most promising young base ball players the college has had for for some time.
 A few weeks ago 1t developed that Grant played baseball at Berlin, N. H.. last summer, but paid his own eX- penses and received no remuneration whatever, and the athletic committee was considering the question of his playing at college.
 It developed later that in the sum- mer Of 1902, before entering college, Grant played on a team somewhere in the CaroIinas. 1t was then that the committee decided 10 disqua1ify. Yes terday morning Captain Clarkson said he considered Grant the finest third baseman he ever had seen at college.

of their fish supply by building hatch
cries at the head of the streams in
which they spread their nets. What
was once regarded as fable is now
gaining ground as scientific fact,
that salmon returns to the stream of
its nativity to breed. 1t is said that
fish born near the sources of a river,
on growing strong and vigorous, swim
out to sea, plough up and down the
ocean for several years, and then on
maturity turn back to breed in their
native river. A rushing tide or precip-
itous waterfall does not daunt them,
and it is a common sight to see these
fish leaping up cataracts to gain the
quiet pools beyond.
In order to prove the truth of this
theory fishermen have branded young
fish, turned them loose, and say they
have captured them years afterward
in the self-same streams

AN IRRIGATION FEAT
A COLORADO DESERT is TO BE
MADE TO BLOOM.
To Do This Tunnel Six Miles Long
Must Be Cut Through the Noun
tains-A Government
Project.

The greatest irrigation project ever
undertaken by the United States gov
eminent was begun recently near Mont
rose, Col. The reclamation service Of
the government proposes to divert the
Gunnison river, which now runs through
canyon between walls Of rock 1000
feet high, though a tunnel almost six
miles long, into the Uncompahgre val
ley, where 10000 acres of arid lands
will be rendered fertile by its waters.
The difficulty of the project lies in the
boring of the tunnel through the Vernal
Mesa, the tableland that forms one side
of the Grand canyon of the Gunnison
and separates it from the Uncompahgre
valley. There is nothing to equal II in

three years; found that the tunnel was
feasible and selected two locations for
it, of which that known as the upper To-
cation has been finally chosen.
The cost of constructing the tunnel
Mr.. Fellows estimated at $500 000 The
next step was to secure the approval of
the secretary of the interior and the nee
essary appropriation, which the passage
of the national irrigation act in 1892 rem
dered possible.
Mr.. Fellows says that it will take three
years to complete the tunnel, of which
two years will be devoted to boring and
one year to concreting. The bore is
through granite and shale, in about
equal quantities.
The tunnel will be about y feet square
and will have fall of two feet in a thou
sand. It's length will be about 10000
feet, approximately ga miles. At the
diverting point in the Gunnison, diver
sion gates will be constructed. There
will also be provision for forest reserve
at the headwaters of the river, to insure
the permanency Of the supply.

THE FRASER.
at least delay the proposed invasion OF
American commercial territory.
This country, however, must be care
full of its fish supply, and take meas
ures for its protection, if it is not in
time to be put out of the market by a
lack of product. Stories have come
from Alaska, whose waters furnish 49,
600 900 cans each year, or one-half the
salmon supply of the world, that the
fish is being slowly but surely exter-
minated because of the reckless meth
DDS of capturing them. As a result
of a government investigation not long
ago, Commander Jefferson f. Moser, Of
the United States navy, reported that
the Alaskan salmon fisheries were
doomed unless the trap nets, now so
widely used were abolished. The trap
is said to kill twice as many salmon
as are utilized by the Gamers. All the
fishermen agree that the trap net
should be abolished, for the preserya-
ton OF the business, but each is afraid
to give up his traps while his neigh
bors are using them. Competition is
too keen.
Both the trap net and the fish whee.
have been abolished by law in British
Columbia, and nothing but the gill ne,
is now permitted. In this the meshes
are woven just large enough to catch
the big fish by the gills while it per
mits the smaller ones to escape unhurt
The Fraser river and its tributaric-
form the great salmon supply field of
Canada, and this field is carefully pro
tected by law so that the fish are not
wasted either by the trap nets or
Alaska or the FISH wheels of The Colum-
bia river.
The introduction of the gill net is
impossible until congress shall have
passed laws compelling its use, and
this the fishermen are willing should
be done.
Some of the canneries have already
taken steps to prevent the exhaustion
