Easy Money for Hart.

Chicago, Jan. 19.-Marvin Hart, the
Louisville heavyweight, and John Willie,
the west side fighter, have been matched
by Manager White of the Watita league
to fight six rounds at catch weights I'M
der straight Queensberry rules, a week
from tonight, at the Watita league.
Hart is at present in Boston. having
remained there after his battle with
George Gardner. This bout was called
a draw, but Boston critics agreed Card
ner was a loser and Hart should have
had the verdict. This will be Harris
third appearance here. He made his
first in a six-round bout with Billy Stiff
at the old American club, but did not
impress local enthusiasts. Later, at the
I,vceum theater and when in far better
condition, Hart fought Jack Root, and
the decision against him did not meet
great approval.

HOW TERRY SEES IT.
Thinks Britt Is Fine but Fears He
Will Become Ratified.
IBy Terry McGovern1

by Terry McGOvern1
New York, Jan. 19.-The proposed
Jimmy Britt, which is scheduled to take
place in San Francisco. March IL, will
be a fight worth a good Journey to see
1 know both fighters. 1 have boxed
with both OF them. and I predict a
grand struggle before the honors are
decided.
OF course. Corbett is well known in
the east, but to nearly all of us Jimmy
Britt is an absolute stranger. The
sports here only know him by his
clever performances, nearly all of
which have taken place on the Pacific
coast
In Britt I think we have one of the
greatest fighters of his weight who has
ever put on gloves. He is one of those
fellows who is always improving, and
with additional weight he always finds
himself able to take care of his oppon-
eats.
l have been impressed with Britt
ever since the first time I saw him.
That was about two years ago, when I
was in San Francisco to meet Herrera.
he put on the gloves and we had a few
llvely rounds, which seemed to please
everybody present. 1 saw at once that
he was real fighter, far above the
average. I thought to myself that he
was conner and I predicted to my
friends he was a champion, and would
some day best all Corners.
Besides being a clever boxer Britt is
a real fighter. He can mix it with any
of the boxers at his weight, and at long
range he is fine judge of distance.
Ever since our meeting on the coast
ne mas been steadily improving.
His battle with Corbett. however, /
think is the one of his career. The first
question that can be asked and which
IS troubling most people is, Who will
| the weight affect most?
Britt has agreed to weigh 100 pounds
at o'clock on the day of the battle
Whether that will be drawing it too
fine Is a question he only knows. One
thing, he will gain couple of pounds
before he enters the ring. which will
be three of four hours later
With both men good at the weight
there will be no excuse for anything
but rafting bout. AS I say, Britt will
race one Of the most dangerous oppon-
ents of his career and Corbett will in
cldentally encounter his first light
weight opponent.

Memphis, Tenn, Jan. 19.-These are
days of absolute rest for Lou Dillon,

new records to the trotting turf during
her brief season, is enjoying the fruits
OF her all-conquering career and is

strangers and natives who pay tribute
to the peerless mare
Lou Dillon is at present 'tbarefooted."
The shoes she wore during her last ap-
pearance on the New York speedway

trophy den in the Billings residence in

1Av1GNE A GREAT FIGHTER.
O'Brien Says He Outclassed Corbett
in His Prime.

Milwaukee. Jan. 19:-In interview re-
garding boxers of the past and present,
Philadelphia Jack OBrien says: Kid
Lavigne is one of the few old timers that
could hold his own with the present gen
Grafton of boxers. He was undoubtedly
the greatest fighter that ever entered the
squared circle. When at his best he
weighed about the same Young Cor
bett does, but the present champion
would have no business with the boy
from Saginaw. Corbett is a great fighter;
In fact, he is in a class by himself, but
if he had had to tackle the Lavigne of
eight or ten years ago he would have
short order. Lavigne could hit from any
angle and when he landed in the proper
spot it meant a knockout. He was the
real star of the fighting game. George
Dixon is another fighter that has never
had an equal at his weight. Dixon could
and can still fight at 118 pounds, but he
seldom makes match without giving
away at least five pounds. He has been
fighting for over fifteen years. but right
now he can hold his own with any of the
boys of his weight. He was finally de-
feated because he went out of his class

but the injured shoulder has refused to

forced into retirement and Australia at
the present time is virtually without a
champion.
From far New Zealand comes the in
formation that Bob Fftzsimmons'
nephew has been weighed in the pugil-
lstlc scales and found wanting. The
nephew is named Fitzsimmons and I'M
til recently he was regarded as the most
promising amateur heavyweight in
Maoriland.
In November last he boxed Joe Dixon
at Palmerston North. The ring was
pitched in big cattle yard Fitzsim-
mons showed up well for couple of
rounds, but was defeated in the fourth
round. The New Zealand sports now
say that Fitzsinamons will never follow
in the footsteps of his uncle.

K11L1LEA ON SUNDAY GAMES
Boston Clubs Owner Says American
League Has a Right to Play.

Milwaukee, Wis, Jan. 19.-"The
American league clubs have the right
to play baseball in New York on sun
days the coming season if they so de-
sire" said Henry Killilea, owner of the
Boston American league club, who has
just returned from the east after ex-
tending his lease on the park in that
city for a term of seven years.
The above answer was given in re
spouse to question as to whether the
American league has right to play IN
New York on Sundays under the peace
agreement.
There is nothing in the national
agreement to prevent the Americans
playing ball in New York, that Is,
Greater New York, on Sundays. If it
does not conflict with the city laws,
said Mr.. Ki1lilea- 1.-The grounds which
the Americans have in view are To-
Gated about seven miles from the

that there can be no objection from
the commission on that score 1t would
be a novelty to New Workers TO nave

would take to it as readily as they DO
in Chicago, Cincinnati and st. Louis.

creation for thousands of baseball fans

OBJECTS TO WEST POINT.
Chicago Drops Soldiers and Mime
sofa from List

Chicago. Jan. 19.-Chicago will not
play football games with West POINT
and Minnesota this year. Chicago can
not go east to play West Point next
year because the management Of the
army team is unable to put up sufh-
cient guarantee to cover the expenses
of the trip. For the trip this year
Stage was compelled to pay about 5000
out of his own athletic fund, and the
best guarantee the soldiers could offer
next season would make the burden on
Stages pocketbook still greater than
last season. They cannot charge at the
gate at West Point. Hence the funds
for football are very limited. DR.. Will
liams, of Minnesota, wanted to match
his Gophers against the Maroons next
year, but Stage could not arrange such
a game because it would make his
schedule too heavy. Chicago's schedule
so far as the big Nine" are concerned
is complete. Six of the big Nine"
teams will be played-Indiana. Purdue.
Northwestern, Illinois, Wisconsin and
Michigan.

CARTER A SLIGHT FAvoRITE.
Boston Sports Think Brooklyn Fight
er VIII Defeat Ohoynski.

of the many fights in this city the COM
ing week will be that between Joe
Choynsh and Kid Carter at the Cri-
terion Athletic club tonight. It is sched-
uled for a f1fteen-round bout for de-
cision, but many think it will not go the
limit Opinion is about evenly divided
as to the merits of the men, though
Carter is a slight favorite. He is a
bulldog fighter and will stand all the
less the latter should get in a knockout
blow.
Unless Choynski gets into the ring in
fine condition he will be up against a
tough proposition, for Carriers blows are
hard and he is in his best form. On the
expectation that Choynski's condition is
not the best many local sports rather
think Carter will win early.
