MATCH TO BE MADE.

Charlie Mitchell, representing Jabez White the English lightweight cham pion, and George Considine, acting for Young Corbett, met late last night at tlie Hotel Metropole for the purpose Of arranging an international match between Corbett and the foreigner. Corbett was present, but only made suggestions as to the length of the mill and the weight. The pair have agreed to fight in San Francisco be- fore the club offering the best purse st I33 pounds, ringside, for $10,000 n side if the authorities of that city. will permit an outside stake. 1t Is not customary, however, so in all probability the pair will battle for q purse alone.

MIN AFTHR JEFFR1Es.

Tommy Ryan, who bobs up now and then with peculiar challenges, is- out with an offer to face Jim Jeffries. Ryan does not care what the cham. pfon weighs as long as he can secure a contest. Ryan is evidently sincere about such a scrap, and as there is not much love lost between the two, Jeffries may decide to take "Tonsilitis Tommy" on. Jeffries and Ryan have not been on the best of terms for years. Before the boilermaker ever thought of reaching the pinnacle in his class he engaged Ryan as q spar ring partner. Ryan taught the cham pion a lot Of tricks and thinks the Knowledge he imparted aided Jeffries fin whipping Bob Fitzsimmons for the heavyweight title. Since that mill Ryan declares that Jeffries has not treated him in fair and square man ner and is anxious to get even. T have been taking a lot of outdoor ex- ercise, says Ryan, land I am heavier than ever now. I admit Jeffrfes is q great pugilist. but think I can whip him at that. I know his style and what he can do, so if we come to- gether there ought to be something do- ing, at least on my side"

 and coronet boots front, his wide spreading gait behind requiring no protection. For a horse of his size his speed and stride are surprising. Dan Patch's remarkable record really be- gan in 1900, when he was entered In the show classes. He early showed his inherited speed and blood lines and be- gan an unbeaten career on the light harness turf. Continuing down the line in 1901 and 1902, he won every race in which he was entered, developing as he went increased speed, winning every where. until he became the acknow- ledged king of racing pacers. In De- ceKhber of 1902 his present owner, M. w. Savage, purchased him from MT. Sturgis, of New York, for $60,000. He was shipped to his new owner at Min neapolis, Minn. He was driven to sleigh all winter, and many horsemen pronounced this the last of Dan Patch. This, however, seemed only to harden him for his future efforts in which he established six new worlds records last year. The performances of Dan Pacth from his earliest efforts through. the several years until he attained the title of the king of light harness horses shows record uneuualed in the his- tory of light harness racing At seven years of age Dan Patch had paced ten miles in from 2:00 to 1:56A, and at the same age he paced 22 miles in 2:01A to 1:56A The latter is the pres- ent worlds record. During last year, the most phenomenal in his existence, he was shipped over 10000 miles, pacing in that time to more records than any horse ever driven in the light harness sport. Developing speed and steadiness as he went along the line unbeaten in all his racing efforts. 1t remained for him to crown his efforts last year, achieving international re- nown by setting the worlds mark at 1:56N. This record was made at Mem phis October 22. He repeated on the same track for new worlds half mile record, which he diG, covering the dis tance in 56 seconds. Dan Patch at the same track made new worlds record to road wagon, going the mile in 1:57N, thus giving him three new rec ords, one to sulky, one to wagon and the half-mile record. At Birmingham. Ala, November 10. 1903. he stepped to another new record over q haif-mile course, going the distance in 2:OsN. Following this performance he started in the same month at Macon, Ga. where he paced mile to high-wheeI sulky in 2:04A, and at the same track set uo another new worlds record for two miles. covering the distance in 4:17.

THE PUGILISTS.
MANY FIGHTS
 ON MONDAY
Several Good Scraps In Var i0us Localities = McF ad- den Hunks Again Young Corbett and White.

Pugilists were busy in out of town rings on Monday night and some stir ring encounters resulted. Jack Me Clelland of Pittsburg took the meas .ure of Solly Smoup of East Pittsburg in a fast fifteen-round go at Mononga- hela, Pa, in Gamble's opera house, About 1000 persons witnessed the bout. The men fought at catch weights, Stroup having slightly the better of 1t in pounds. The fight was fast from the outset, both trying to win with knockout. McCielland made Stroup's nose bleed in the sec ond and had his man in distress after that. McCleiland tried hard to put his opponent away, but could not do so. The verdict, however, was ap- proved by all present.
 Another ffteen-round bout at Brad ford, Pa, between Cy Flynn of Buffalo and Joe Youngs of Albany went the limit. The mill was under the aus pices of the Eagles and drew big crowd. The verdict was not popular, the majority of the sports being or the opinion that the decision should have been draw, but the official sur prised everyone by declaring in favor of Flynn. Flynn is over 6 feet in height and his great reach gave him q decided advantage. .
 Young Sossong of Old Forge and Johnny Dohan of Brooklyn put up c lively bout for ten rounds at Old Forge, near Scranton, Pa. So even was the affair all the way through that tue only decision that would be fair was a draw, and the referee de- cided this way. Both lads are feath- erweights and they fought every inch of ground, making things hum from the start
 It only required two minutes of the first round for Kid Hessell to whip Larry Conly before the Cambridge A. C.. Boston. They were to have gone fifteen rounds. Con1y, although a big favorite in the betting, was no match for his antagonist, who got to him when and where he liked.
 Ed Smith, colored, known as the Baltimore Cyclone" fought vicious six-round bout with Kid Wilson of Orange before the Broadway A. O., Chester. This scrap was punctuated with action from start to finish. Tn the third round both were so groV that they were unable to stand straight, and another solid blow would have sent either to sleep, but neither was able to deliver it.
