ARE VALUED At $1,000
Suit Entered for Loss of Mitts Red
Roeert Wore When He Put
Corbett Away.

PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 2s.-Anthony
]. Drexel Biddle, the millionaire and
cluhman, who IS a great admirer of
Fitzsimmons. the pugilist has brought
suit in common pleas court No. . against
the United States Fidelity and Guaranty
Company 10 recover 5000 on a policy of
burglary insrance. Attorneys Hoppe
and Buckmau. counsel for Mr.. Biddle,
explained that after Fitzsimmons won
the worlds championship by defeating
Corbett at Carson City. Mr.. Biddle en-
tertained Kft-simmons at a dinner. As
a COMPILING at for the hospitality Bob
presented Biddle with the blood stained
gloves with which he had knocked out
Corbett
The mitts were in a glass and ebony
case and were very much yEjzed by Mr.
Biddle, who placed them in mis- private
OF 2104 WalnCt Street. The fact that
the gloves Were in Mr. Biddle's posses
sion was known 10 the sporting fra
ternity and ssst summer while MIR. Bid
die was o way the stable was broken
into and Ice ebony box containing the
gloves was stolen, with a punching bag
and two other pairs or gloves. Nothing
else was disturbed in the place by the
thieves, although there were articles of
much greater money value which could
have been carried off.
The market value Of the stolen goods
was $3.50, but Mr.. Biddle attaches d SEN
timental value 10 the gloves. When he
made a request through his attorneys on
the insurance company to reimburse
him for his loss the insurance company
offered $500 in settlement and treated
with ridicule the suggestion that the
gloves had any sentimental value. This
aroused the Indignation of Mr.. Biddle,
who instructed his lawyers 10 bring suit
TO recover 5000.

The clash between Ban Johnson, of
the American League, and Barney
Dreyfuss. chairman of the schedule
committee of the National League. who
composed the joint schedule committee
OF two big baseball leagues, is very
liable TO cause serious and permanent
differences between the two organiza-
tons.
President Johnson left New York
without comforting with Mr.. Dreyfuss
over conflicting dates. and said before
leaving that he would have no confer
ence on the schedule with anyone but
President Pulliam or Garry Hermann.

EASTERN HORSES FAVORED
Africander and Irish Lad to Give
Weight to Dick
Welles.

In his allotment of weights for the
Brighton Handicap. the richest event of
its kind in the East. Walter S. Nos-
burgh, the official Handicapped of the
Jockey Club. has placed one pound more
on Waterboy than he has on McCbesney
and given the place of honor to the for
mer with 129 pounds. This is an official
announcement that in the estimation
of one of the cleverest judges of the
form" of thoroughbreds in America the
Eastern champion of last season is SUI
perior TO the Western crack by one
pound.
The weights for the Brighton demon
strate the fact that Vosburgh considers
that the majority of the horses entered
for the event are distinctly high class
for he has assigned them weights much
higher than the scale usually adopted
in previous years. Last season he gave
Waterboy 1l2 pounds.
Seven Cracks.
In the first class there are seven horses
-Waterboy. McChesney. Hermis. Afri-
cander. Irish Lad. Dick Welles, and Ad-
vance Guard. The weights on these
horses range from 129 pounds down to
10. In Nosburgh's estimation African
der is one pound better than Irish Lad

ter than Dick Welles. the Western three
year-old champion OF last year Al
