We parted, he and I, with signs,
And o the sadness in my breast.
His lips upon my own were pressed,
The late stars looked with envious eyes
And yonder in the eastern skies
Were streaks of crimson in the west
The drowsy moon sank down to rest,
The ROSTERS had begun to rise.

He cought me to MN lovingly,
And VOWS that he had made before
He fondly made again. All me,

If parting neve had to be!

Piening has returned to his training

'MAJAH' IN new ROLE
Taylor Is Out After Automobile
Fame and Dollars

WORCESTER, Mass, Dec. 29.-"Ma-
jah' Taylor, of this city, the interna-
tional bicycle rider. who was reported to
have signed with Robert Coque1le, man
ager of the Velodrome, in Paris, to enter
sprint and paced races in that city next
season, today emphatically denied the
stories in an interview.
1t was also reported that Taylor was to
meet the American champion, Kramer, in
Paris, on May 6. and that he would
also be seen in the principal cities of
Europe. Taylor admits. however, that
Coqueile came to this country and visited
him at his home here, and also that CO.
quelle submitted a tempting proposition
which he still has under consideration
But he says that he has not signed any
contract to race abroad next season and
he said that he was not inclined to enter
the cycling game again at this time.
Taylor is the owner of a fast French
motor car and he has appeared in court
here couple of times because he has ex-
ceeded the speed laws. He says that he
intends to follow the motor game and be-
come driver of racing cars and try for
records. He is now taking course of in
struction in the Y. NJ. c. A. auto school
in this city.
If Taylor enters the cycling game and
goes abroad he vii probably rake in all
the money that would have been coming
Bobby Walthour's way if the later had
not been suspended for a year, both
abroad and at home, for leaving the six
day race at Madison Square Garden two

RUFFALO, Dec. 2s.-''Would battle

Most assuredly. I am going to challenge
Jeffries, and if he will accept, I hope to
try to win his coveted crown within the
next twelve months. 1 think can do it,
and success or failure as my reward, l
mean to carry out my intentions, but first
I will prove my worth, both as fighter
and a worthy opponent for jeff, and then
go ahead"
Champion Frank Gotch, the all powerful
Westerner, the man who has conquered
the catch-as-catch- wrestlers of this
country and now hunts an opponent, with
Tom Jenkins avoiding him, made the
foregoing statement. He uttered every
word in the most emphatic tone, and it
was plain that his determination will only
be satisfied after he has carried his pro-
posal into action, action that may mean
a new worlds heavyweight champion.
Bound to Win, Says Gotch
Perhaps some people will grin and
sniclxer, but when Frank Gotch starts out
to do a thing he usually succeeds con-
tinued the champion "ThiS time l may

Corbett's Fighting Talk Amuses
the Valiant Sharkey
Snecial to The Globe

Special to The Globe
NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Tom Sharkey
was asked today what he thought of Jim
Corbett's chances in another battle with
Jeffries.
What do I think of Corbett's chances?
Why, he has about one chance in million
of ever beating Jeffries. Corbett knows
perfectly well he has no chance with
Jeffries. He is merely issuing challenge
to the big fellow to let the public know
he is still alive. He had two chances to
whip Jeffries and as he failed in both at
tempts l should think he ought to be sat
isfied.
What fighting has Corbett done to en-
title him to another chance at Jeffries
/ fought Jeffries twice and made better
showing each time against him than Cor
bett did, and l am satisfied that l don't
stand any chance of beating the big fell
low.

beat Jeffries, but know better now That
punching he gave me at Coney Island
will never forget. [ was not a well man
by any means for months after that bat
tie. Jeffries is in class by himself and
the sooner Corbett, Fitzsimmons and the
other heavyweights who have been chal-
lenging him realize this the better it will
be for themselves"
