THE PUGlLlSTS. MAY FIGHT
 A NEGRO.
Jim Jeffries May be Induc- ed to Face Jack John son..Sharkey and Mun- roe Arrange to Meet.

According to a letter received from Billy Delaney, Jim Jeffries's trainer, the champion is soon to fight again. It is understood that Jeffries's next opponent will be Jack Johnson, tne negro heavyweight of California, de spite the many assertions from the champion that he would never meet 3 colored man.
 Lelaney, in his letter, says he is coming east i'll few days to nave a talk with Jenries. Delaney does not wish Jeffries to appear on the, stage, and would rather have him fight some one. The only available opponent for JeHr1es just now is Johnson, and there are some who think the negro will give the boilermaker hard mill.
 Johnson is popular on the Pacific coast Besides being clever he is a stiff puncher. Jeffries Is in fair con- dttion, and if the contest is arranged it will probably take place next sum- mer.

Killed In Detroit.

Detroit, Feb 4.-The boxing game has received. a black eye here, the mayor coming out with an announce ment yesterday in which he directed the police superintendent to refuse boxing permits until further orders.
 The mayors edict is the outcome of the Joe GansMike Ward battle here Tuesday night.
 In the tenth round of this contest, when Ward was staggering around the ring, the police sergeant ordered the bout stopped, but Referee Tim Hurst let the men proceed and only stopped the contest after a third order by the officer. The result is that Tim Hurst will not be allowed to ref cree another contest in Detroit, as long as Mayor Maybury is the city's chief executive.
 Another occurrence that displeased the police most of all was when Al Herford, at the door. refused admis- sion to detectives and policemen, only allowing them to enter after much ar. gument. Joe Cans and his manager will be barred here in the future.

ponds on the preserve and the camps at Little Forked and Big Forked lakes.
 The lakes and streams teem with fish, and the supply is kept up by q fish hatchery. The preserve is overrun with deer, and MT. Whitney sent to it larger game, including moose from Canada and beaver. The twenty elk turned loose at Forked lake by the state a few years ago were we'll cared for in the Whitney park. In the Whit ney forests about 5000 or 5000 acres are cut over each year and the spruce, pine and baisam above ten inches in size three feet from the ground re- moved. All the hemlock and for about 200 feet from the shore lines of each lake the first growth timber is left standing. The conifers on the tops of the hills, which. If removed. would leave an opening for the wind, are also left.
 MT. Whitney was the largest proper ty owner in Massachusetts. He owned 10000 acres of land in Washington, Lee and Lenox, in the Berkshire hills, preserves in the east. Mr. Whitney's agents began buying property on Octo- Der mountain, one of, the most slightly pieces in the Berkshire hills, as far back as 1895. So quietly were the pur- chases made that 1t was not until buy ing had been going on for eight months that it became known that some one was attempting to acquire vast hold. ings. In 1896 an order was sent to his Lenox agents for the construction of camp on the mountain. It was to be built and furnished in thirty days. With feverisn excitement contractors began work. Hundreds of laborers and carpenters were employed, and by working day and night, by the aid of calcium lights at night, large and ex- pensive camp was completed in con- tract time Then came the announce ment from Newport that Harry Payne Whitney and his bride, Miss Gertrude Vanderbilt, were to occupy the camp on their honeymoon.
 The development of the mountain into a game preserve followed. From Jackson's Hole, in Wyoming, car loads of elk and blacktail deer were shipped to Lenox. These were followed by buf- falo, moose and Angora goats. A quail and pheasant breeding farm was estab- lished, and for several seasons in the fall MT. and Mrs. Harry Payne Whit ney entertained shooting parties on the mountain.

TROTTING.
NO HORSES TO RUN
 D~ IN WHITNEY NAME.

It was stated on good authority yes terday that no horses belonging to W. c. Whitney would be run in that name this year and that if it was decided not to sell the big stable it would be conducted in the name of the West tIry stable or that of Sydney Paget If the horses are retained they will be entered in overnight events and stakes that have not yet closed, but other wise they will be barred under the rules of racing from such notable events as the Brooklyn, Suburban and Brighton handicaps.
 It is the general opinion among turf men that after year has passed Hurry Payne Whitney will take charge Of the stable and the horses will run in his name. Mir Whitney is an enthusiastic turfnlan, and 1t would Je a matter of general regret if he should decide not to continue in the footsteps of his father, with whom he has been so closely associated, espe- cially in racing affairs.

Dead In Boston.

Boston, Feb 4.--The Central A. O., which has been bucking against the police commissioners since the latter began their crusade against boxing in this city, has evidently given up the fight. This club has regularly held two meetings week. and since the declaration of Chairman Emmons that he was going to stop the game, squad of police has forced its way into the club room and stayed until the meetings were over. The bouts, however, were simply burlesque on boxing, and no arrests were made.
 The meeting scheduled for last night was abandoned and the club room closed. ss
 It looks as if boxing in this city had been given its quietus-for the present, at least @a

BASE BALL.
A BIG CUT
 s. IN SALARIES.
Frank DOnahue Has Fifteen
 Hundred Chopped Off His Seasons Allow.
 ance-Leagues Use Knife

With the admission of the Califor- mia base ball league into the National agreement fold, which will be consum- mated shortly, the days of high sal aries for ball players will be at an end. There will be no refuge for players who are asked to accept a reduction, and the owners of clubs in both the American and the National leagues will get to work with the pruning knife. The recent war between the two big major leagues was harvest for the players who worked two ends against the middle and boosted sal aries to the skies. Before the war there was a $2,40O salary limit in the National league. Few clubs had a salary list of more than $4OOOo.
 When the players began to jump, the American league got the stars by paying for them. 1t was nothing ex- traordinary to pay 8 player $6,OO0 or Ss,OOO a year. Lajoie. for instance, signed a three years contract with Cleveland for more than $2O,OOO for the full term. The New York Amerl- can league club, for instance, had a salary list last season of $70,oOO in round numbers which, with the same players under contract in the old days would have amounted to little more than one-half that amount. The New York National league club was not Tar behind in this respect, while every other club was simply top heavy. The wonder of it all is that any club made money in view of the heavy expenses in vogue.
 Players who have iron-bouT1d con- tracts to run another year or more are in clover. or at least they think they are. But the others will be cut The Cleveland club, for instance, has ai- ready Topped S1,000 from Elmer Hicks salary of last year and has re- duced Frank Dono.lrle from $5,OOO. to S3,5OO. This is in line with the gen. eral policy. As long as the California people remained "outlaws" 1t was deemed fnadvisable to cut salaries, TOT tho reason that the players asked 70 accent reductions had chance to de- sert. .sac...,.
 sThe inevitable whirlwind Is similar tJ that which followed the war m lSsV between the National league and the Brotherhood. When the backers got together the salaries dropped with q dull thud. Men who drew $4,OOO anu S5OO0 were reduced to $2,OOo and $2'- 400. with the result that the owners made money. The present backers or the National league and the Anerican league clubs have become tired or paving out all of the receipts to the players and are eager for change. Base ball wars. in the long run, ai- ways hurt the players.

ROWING POINTERS.
Shows Harvard Men the IntricAcies
 a2 at of Courtney's Stroke. ss.s

Fred Colson formally took charge of Haryard's s oarsmen on Wednesday. The Cornell man began with a short talk, in which he convinced his listen- CTS with the fact that they had much to learn. He told them that the stroke Harvard has been rowing in the past few years is practically the same stroke that the Cornell crews have used so successfully, but that Harvard had ',Just missed what they had been striving for"
 Then Colson gave practical demon s.ration of the Courtney stroke on one of the rowing machines. The chief point. he explained, was the excessive ly slow recovery, with marked atten- ton paid to the movements of the a1ms and wrists. For several weeks Cc.son will work the Harvard candi- dates at q slow pace. No crews will be formed, but the new coach will in struct the men in squads of four and five at g time. The candidates were asked to fill out cards, telling their age weight, height, previous rowing experience and the hours they could spend at the penthouse. Colson made a decidedly favorable impression.

GHE was q tailor wade young lady NY of twenty years who sat at the
 silk counter with bit of black taffeta in her dainty fingers.
 Have you some of this same taf- feta?'' she asked the clsrk. ''It was bought here, and I want to look at something off the same piece.''
 Patiently the clerk pulled down bolt after bolt of taffeta, and after ten min utes searching and matching he found the bolt desired. s...
 She looked at it carefully, while the clerk inquired, ''Haw many yards. pleaseT'
 "Oh, I don't want any" she said sweetly. t'I made a wager with Mae Brown that this taffeta bad a red sell wage, and she bet it was green sell wage. I see it's red, and I'm awfully much obliged to you, and Mae Brown will have to pay me box of candy"
 Patiently the clerk restored his silks to the shelves and regretted the heavy penalty for homicide.-New York Times.

 A bout which will probably be en- joyed is the third preliminary between Mike Frank of Ansonia and a boy named Tokens. Jack Mccoy will referee the bouts.
 New York, Feb 4.-After they had wrestled hard for an hour, the match between Fred MoIl of Switzerland and George Fisher of this city, t.the New Polo A. O., was decided a draw by Referee St Denis last night. Fish CT, who had the worst of the weight by at least twenty pounds, won the toss and selected catch-as-catch-can at which style the contest was de cided. No falls were secured, but both men were near defeat several times. In spite Of the weight handicap, Fish CT went after the Swiss with vim.
 After the first half hour Fisher al- lowed Mohl to get on top, The latter worked for a hammer lock, but could not bring the left haId any further than half way toward the hip. After that he tried twice for a half Nelson, and managed to put Fisher on one shoulder, but the local man got away. In the final fifteen minutes there was plenty of work on both sides, neither having much advantage
 There were two preliminary bouts. Harry Williams threw. Max Williams twice. while John Tompkfns downed Young Faust.
