THE PUGILISTS.
GOOD BATTLE
NOW CERTAIN
ncGovern and Hanlon
Should Put Up a COrking
Contest Both Have Been
Whipped By Corbett.

The signing of a contract by the rep
resentative of Young Corbett and Will
lie Britt brother of the champion of
the india rubber lass-feather-in
which they bound their principals not
to fight until they meet in the ring
again themselves, has opened the way
for really frst-class scrap between
Terry McGovern and Eddie Hanlon.
There is pot of money ready to
back Hanlon, but up to the time of the
signing of the Britt-Corbett compact
Harris, McGovern's manager, could
not see the San Francisco boy with a
telescope.
In Philadelphia the other night a
Quaker city sporting man who wanted
to back Hanlon shook SO much money
in front of Mr. Harris that that gentle
man consented to take notice-to the
extent of saying that he wanted only
Corbett or Britt.
That settled it for the minute, but
now that the two first boys in their
class are tied up Harris has sent out
the following in answer to the loud
cries from Hanlon's hackers:
"In regard to Bob Deady's challenge
in behalf of Hanlon to fight Terry Me-
Govern, am ready to make match
for Terry to meet Hanlon, the fight to
take place any time in June, any place
suitable to Hanlon and for any side
wager that Deadly may name.
AL reports that Terry is afraid to
meet Hanlon are absurd. Terry now
stands. as he always has, ready to meet
any featherweight in the world, bar
ring none. Mr. Deadly can make an ap-
pointment for any time that suits his
convenience, and he will find me there
ready to make the match
This manifesto was signed by Har-
ris, and before the ink on it was dry
he received this answer:
''Will accept your proposition; $4,000
side, and will cover forfeit on Satur-
day morning. (Signedl
BOB Deadly"
This looks very well. Hanlon and
McGovern should put up a great CON
test Hanlon has fought Corbett twice.
as has Terry. Hanlon lasted longer
with the Denverite than did the Brook
lyn boy.

Manchuria corresponds in latitude
to Manitoba, North Dakota, South Das
kota, Minnesota and Nebraska fts

10000 square miles less than the COM

the northern part of the province ara

REARDoN MAY UMPIRE.

Dennis Reardon of Holyoke may
break into the Connecticut league
again as an umpire, and this will be
glad news to the fans who have seen
several games spoiled this season by
incomDetent officials. Reardon unl-
PRED two seasons ago and part of
last season and gave entire satisfac-
ton. His business interests in Hol-
yoke are such that he cannot leave
them to go on the circuit, and that is
why he has not sought regular an
pointment. He received an offer from
President Powers of the Eastern
league this season, but could. not ac-
cept because of his business. He has
been in communication with Dan
shannon this week, however, and il
matters can be arranged Reardon will
umpire many of the games in Hart
ford, Meriden, Springfield and Hol-
yoke He will be great acquisition
to the league and it is hoped the
scheme will not miscarry.

THE MEN WHO
SUPPORT RACING,

Who are the men who make racing?
From the members of the august
Jockey club, which is all powerful in
IT'S government of the turf in New
York state. to the lowly but well fixed
betting commissioner in the club
houses on the metropolitan tracks, a
long list of notable persons identified
with the racing of -blooded thor
oughbreds can be made up. One
might go on, in endless chain fashion,
naming men whose fame has reached
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, for
there are turf pillars, SO to speak, on
every hand.
Robert Pinkerton and John Cavan-
agh are men of few words. Pinkerton
has charge of the race track police and
he has a busy time of it, with a crowd
of from LOCO to 10000 people to look
after. with from $4,000 to 10000 on
holidays as an additional pressure.
But Pinkerton preserves order with
very little fuss and feathers, showing
what real discipline will do when en-
forced. Cavanagh is the man in the
ring" He is the man to see in case
there is trouble over bet. Being con-
stantly in the ring, Cavanagh must
have become hardened, for there Is La
place where everybody lives on excite
ment. There it is that the greatest foot
ball matches between struggling teams
of would-be bettors take place each
day, with none killed but many wound
ed
The book makersl A cold-blooded
crowd Of spectators, well posted as to
the true condition OF each horse, as far
as their runners and track watchers
can find out and always close students
of form. They are perfectly at home in
the ring where thousands change hands
each day and where often the public's
money goes up in the blue smoke that
curls towards the roof from the pen
Oilers fat cigars. On stool in the
middle of the big betting pavilion sits
a thick-set good natured sort of chap
with sharp little eyes that are always
ON the alert. This is .sThe Counsellor
or rather Sol Lichtenstein. lightning
calculator. heavy Speculation. and one
of the shrewdest bookies that ever han
died a sponge. 1t is up to Mr. Lichten-
stein to make the prices. In other
words. whatever odds he posts first
are taken by the other bookmakers as
gospel. Lichtenstein is rich. He lives
like nabob and is a typical man
about town. Eddie Burke is wholly in
Lichtenstein's class when it comes to
figures and handicapping. but Burke is
inclined to be less conservative as a
SPECTATOR. George Wheelock, another
slick proposition in the booking line is
president of the Metropolitan Turf as

Hard luck continues to follow the
Springfield baseball team. The latest
misfortune to befall the Ponies is that
Eugene Tansey has broken one of the
bones in his arm and will be out of the
gam for six or seven weeks.
In the game with Holyoke Saturday
Voorhees, with swift pitched ball
struck the Springfield captain on the
arm between the wrist and elbow.
The arm swelled considerably and also
panied the plucky little captain but he
continued to play.
In New London he was again struck
by pitched ball and was forced to
leave the game. Upon returning to
Springfield yesterday his arm panied
him to such an extent that he went to
DR. w. j. Leonard, who examined it
and found that the ulna, one of the
bones of the forearm was broken.
DR. Leonard put the arm in splints
and said it would probably be six or
seven weeks before Tansey could play
again.
Tansey's absence from the team will
undoubtedly weaken it. He is g. 300
hitter and Il great run-getter and will
be missed. Joe Conner, who can play
almost any position, will cover third,
while Crook will be played in right
field and O'Connor will do the catch
ing Crook is showing UP in good style
and is hitting the ball hard. He was to
play with Northampton but will stay
with the Springfield team as long as
he is needed
Manager O'Neil has received anoth-

Red begs to stay in Shreveport, La
Dan has no intention of selling Owens
and after Red has warmed the bench
for some time he will probably see fit
to show UP. He is not playing with
Shreveport since he received notice
to report here, and it is very likely
that he will blow into town almost any
day.

Lay the ribbon on table and scrub it,

Still Talking.

When the Herald first told the story
of Sam Fullerton's hunting trip to Cook
county, it was inclined to be lenient
with him and his party, merely repeat
ing enough of what came to it's knowl-
edge to show justification for criticlslng
their unsportsmanlike conduct. We
were 10th to be as severe as the evidence
warranted, fearing that such stand
might be misconstrued as prejudice
against visiting hunters generally. But
the Herald stands approved. The peo-
pie in the county and out of it have not
yet finished talking about 'Sammy's
hunting trip" Even Maj. Potter told a
Duluth reporter what he knew about 1t,
and the opinion he freely expressed Was
not complimentary to the state game
warden. In Mondays Evening Herald
F. Il. Pane of the Broadway hotel tells
the whole story without mincing mat
ters bit. This story in a nushell is
that Fullerton's party of three took
away four moose heads. exceeding the
limit allowed by law; that none of the
heads was properly tagged; that not one
of the moose from which these we're ia
ken was killed by any of the party. AS
authority for this latter statement Mr..
Paine names Joe Carlboo, who acted as
guide and who did the killing.
