FOOTBALL MONEY
 FOR SWEET CHARITY.

An interesting report on the none tary yield of the football game be- tween West Point and Annapolis has been made by the committee of the University of Pennsylvania, which had charge of the finances, and of the sale of one-third of the total number of tickets for the benefit of indigent widows and orphans of officers and en- listed men in the army and navy. The other two-thirds of the tickets were given away, as formerly were all the tickets. The gross receipts from the sale of one-third the total number of tickets were S2O,500.33. The entire ex- pense of conducting the game, includ- ing luncheon for the two battalions of cadets and for the West Point and An napolis officers and their families, the printing, clerk hire and distribution of tickets, the necessary gate keepers and officials, the postage and messenger ser vice, etc, was $2,357-S1. The net pro- ceeds were, therefore, SIS, ,14252. One half of this amount has been placed in the hands of the treasurer of the Army Relief society, and the other one e-haIf is awaiting the formation of similar navy society, which is being organized as direct result of this game.

UPTON LETTER
IS DISCUSSED.

The Lipton letter is still the sub feet of conversation among members of the New York Yacht club. 1t is simply asking if the club will accept a challenge under the present rules of the club, and the opinion is that the club would have to do so if. chal- lenge were received. The yachtsrnen at the New York Yacht club think that Sir Thomas has sent the letter to show that he is still in the ring, and that it's effect will be to head off the Scotchmen who have been thinking of having 8 challenger.
 As long as Sir Thomas is willing to continue the fight, Britishers are will ing to let him have the field to him. self, but as soon as he withdraws there are several others who are will ing to go on with the fight. The most prominent Of these is kenreth Clarke, who now owns the Kariad. MT Clarke has been yachting all his life and he would have his boat in fine shape. There would nof be any of the trouble that Sir Thomas Lipton has expert enced with his sailing masters and crews, because MT Clarke knows from practical experiences what to do.

THE IRISH JUMPER.

The Irish horse has lost none of it's excellence. Judging by tLe sires and the young ga1lopers shown at Balls bridge, it will hold more than its own in coming races. There may be an- other Galtee Moore, another Ard Pat rick among the colts, it to capture the blue ribbon of the turf; know not: but the Irish horse seems to have a blanket mortgage on the Grand Ma tional steeplechase, You remember, I dare say, that in the last Grand Ma tionaI, the Irish-bred chasers were 1, ?. 3, when the numbers went up. h. deed, there have been very few years since. in 1889. the great race was es- tablished. when Irish horses have not won. And if that course be not test, then horse flesh was never tested. It is almost four and half miles In length and brlstles with thorn fences, and. not to speak of ''Beecher's brook, 7 the water jump is sixteen feet. with a gorsed fence on the take-off side It takes a good man on a stout hearted horse to face that course.

EASY FOR HOLLY
 WALCOTT OUTCLASSED

Boston, Jan 1.--Davy Holly of Phil adelphias with his famous Hoop the loop'' wallop, made his debut in Bos- ton at the Central A. c. Wednesday night and administered most severe drubbing to Belfield Walcott in the twelve rounds they fought.
 Waleott was clearly outelassed from the first, and the surprise was that he stayed the limit. At the end Of the twelfth round Referee SheeIan awarded the decision to Holly.
 Tn no round did Walcott have any where near an even break and Holly made most favorable impression by his aggressiveness and clever hitting.
 Tn the open preliminary Lefallon O'Neil of the west end beat Young Parrish of the Newsboys' club quite handily in six rounds, and Harry Gil more stopped Jerry Jackson in four rounds

BASE BALL.
THE LONGEST HIT ON
 BASEBALL DIAMOND.

T have read a great deal about the longest hit ever made on the grounds says Willie McGill, the left handed pitching crack, in the Chicago Journal, "and I guess every city has its own special Iong-hit record. Yes, I've heard about Jimmy Ryan's hit that landed on top of railroad train and went 250O miles before it stopped That was like doing a trotting stunt behind 8 wind shield. But want te say this: That the longest actual, clean hit ever saw was made by an amateur, and it was off my pitching, too
 l was pitching for North Division High school against Evanston High at Lincoln park. A stocky little boy named McDowell, chunky and muscu- lar, came up. met one of my fioaters full on the end of the bat, and sent it out over center. I saw the center fielder travel after it, saw the ball vanish into distance beyond him, and saw McDowel1 circle the bases to the home plate.
 Way out about half q mile, I should judge, the center fielder found that ball. The left fielder had fol lowed him about block away, and the second baseman had followed the left fielder. It took the center field CT two throws to get the ball to the left fielder. and it took the left field CT three throws to get it to the second baseman. The second baseman man. aged to heave it to the plate on one long throw, but the runner, of course, had scored long before the ball was even located
 Tn all the days have since played ball. have never seen the equal of that hit. I wish there was a record, measure of distance for the longest drive ever made. That hit would get the record and have about 900 feet to spare.''

so returned to the city hall and called on the building department. They asked to see the plans of the theater, and Mr.. stanhope produced them. ssHow about sprinklers?' demanded Alderman Jones, who was one of the Investigating committee.
 sThe way the theater is built they can be left out" MT. Stanhope replied. 'sAnd, anyhow, the flames spread so rapidly that no sprinkler system would have availed anything.
 Alderman Jones then remarked that ths ordinance requires all exits to be marked
 That will be looked into," Mir. Stan hope said. Remember, however, that the lights were out and that many of Fhe people were killed in their seats"
 Pointing to che diagram of the the- ater, Alderman Herman said: s'You cannot convince me If you talk for a hundred years that people could get out of that place. I do not care what they call the exits; they did not work; there were not enough of them open, and the people could not get out. These plans show an aisle at the end of the first floor, but we were over there and saw the seats run bang up against the railing, leaving no aisle at all- Now, what want to know is, Did these peo- pie in building this theater live up to the plans they submitted to the city building department? Here there seem to be ample exits on paper only"
 Alderman ScuIly and Alderman Con- nery took from the stage bits of the stage curtain, none of which was lar ger than the palm of the hand, for ex- animation to the store of an asbestus company. The bits were shown to be of asbestus, although the examiner pronounced it of low grade

BARNEY DREYFUss'
 MOVEMENTS.

Barney Dreyfuss, owner of the Pitts burg base ball club, whose winter home is in New York, will go to Cin- cinnati next Monday to attend the meeting af the base ball commission. Mir Dreyfuss is busy these days ar ranging National league schedule, he, Ebbets and Hart being the schedule committee. 'sIt isn't a hard job when you get the hang of it, he says. You've got to keep in mind railroad fares and jumps and you must lay out your opening and holiday scheme of games and build around these" Drey- fuss refuses to give any inkling as to his idea of the apport1onment of dates for next season, but it is pretty good guess that the New Yorks will open at home, with Boston, and the Brook. lyns in Philadelphia. 1t looks now as If there would be conflict of opening dates in New York, since the New York Americans are likely to open at home, either with Boston or Philadelphia, probably the latter. The Dreyfuss schedule is not necessarily the one that will be adopted, since Ebbets will sub- init one, too. One or the other may be selected, or the two merged into a third. As a matter of fact, the sehed- ule committee will draw up several plans. Again the s.hedu1e makers of the National league are to meet Ban Johnson, in whom the authority to draw up the American league schedule Is vested, and the representatives of the two leagues will then go over the schedules and. so far as possible. do away with conflicting dates This meeting will be held this month, Drey- fuss having received a letter from Johnson yesterday suggesting that t.a schedules be gone over some time in January
