KOREAN CHARACTERISTICS.
People of the Hermit Kingdom Re- semble the Chinese of the Six
 teenth Century.

The Koreans are more like the Chi- nese than the Japanese, and they used to hate both the Japs and the Rus- sians with equal cordiality, reserving whatever affection they possessed for outsiders for the Chinese. In size they are much like these continental neigh bors, and in appearance imagine they greatly resemble the Chinaman of the sixteenth century; in other words, the Celestial as he was before the Manchu invasion. Previous to this change in dynasty the Chinese did not wear pig tails. They shaved the top of their heads and drew the hair from each side up so that it covered the bald portion, tying it in a knot on top. The Manchus, however, were a tribe of pig tails, and they forced the people they had conquered to adopt the same cus- tom. Korea being out of the beaten path for conquest escaped the edict, and it's people still adhere to the old customs. In fact, for many centuries the waves of invasion from the north have passed them by, and they have, and do, ask only to be let alone and to be allowed to run, their own affairs. Their motto Is, Korea for the Ko- reans."

 c. M. Daniels Clips the Record Foa
 300 Yards.
 NEW YORK. March 21.--Two rec. ords were smashed at the swimming championships of the Metropolitan as- sociation, held in the big New York Athletic club tank, c. M. Daniels, the 1.-the Mercury foot racer, clipping sev- eral seconds off the "four-forty" and easily eclipsing the previous figures for 300 yards. Daniels put clear wa ter between himself and his nearest competitor in two lengths of the tank and was obliged to make his records absolutely without pace.
 In addition to these brilliant per- formances he won the ''two-twenty'' with yards to spare, simply loafing home in the lead. There was only a fair crowd around the tank when the star performer began his record break ing trip, but when the time at the halfway mark was announced there was a rush for the galleries, and when the swimmer finished every foot of space was occupied by members and their friends
 Relay races, one of which furnished stirring finish between Yale and Pennsylvania; short clashes, the Hveliest sort of water polo game, in which Yale handily disposed of Colum- bia, and the regulation plunge for dis tance rounded out an unusually inter- esting programme.
 E. H. Adams won the opening event, the plunge for distance, covering 62 feet 6 inches on his third trial and after the contest had looked safe for George W. Van Cleaf, who made the creditable distance of 61 feet on his first attempt.

Big Sale of Seats for the Corbett and Britt Mill-- Another Offer for Fitz- sim m 0nS-Other News.

San Francisco. March 21.--Next Fridays fight for the featherweight championship of the world is going to De worth the battle. The returns from the box office end of the event prove that already over $15,0O0 has been taken in in good solid cash, and there are still many extensive reserya- tions to be accounted for. The sale of seats has, in fact, been phenomen- al. and it will unquestionably form q record i'll matters pugilistic in San Francisco, ,>s.s
 So Corbett is superstitious, is he?' asked James Edward Britt yesterday afternoon over in Alameda. "He thinks because he has always beaten men who trained at Crolls that he's going to beat me. don't take much stock in that sort of talk, but it's a brand Of dope that two can smoke, as well as one, if they are inclined that way. The fact is. I have licked ev- cry man from Sheehan's with whom ever fought, and they have been Harry Pollock and Billy Roche-men at that''
 The seconds and handlers for the big mill have already been chosen The champion will be looked after by Tim McGrath. Benny Carson. Billy Roche and Harry Tuthill, while in Britt's corner Spider Kelly, Frank Rafael, Smiling Metzner and Curt Richardson will do honors. Billy Jordan will of course do the announc- ing and George Harting will be official tinlekeenar.
 A consensus of expert opinion would seem to indicate that Youne Corhe4t will defeat Jimmy Britt. Dave Sullivan, who knows how well Cor bett can fight, says that Britt will not last five rounds. Corbett will be Il favorite at pretty stiff odds. The conditions of the match call for the men to scale 131 pounds at 6 o'clock p. m., the money to be divided 65 per cent to the winner and 35 per cent to the loser Britt is an out and out lightweight. who is believed to pos sess championship timber. When the men enter tHe ring, thDee hours after weighing in, both will be in the light weight class, which is further evil dence that Young Corbett has no fur ther claim on the featherweight title.

BIG OFFER TO FITZ.

That Bob Fitzsimmons is still a drawing card is shown by the fact that yesterday the Cornishman received an offer of 5000 from Bert Crowhurst to meet the.winner of the six-round bout between Marvin Hart and Gus Ruhlin which takes place tomorrow night at Philadelphia. F'itz will notify Crow hurst of his acceptance tomorrow. Fitz, however, wants the purse to be guarantee, and it is likely that the club will yield. If the mill is brought about it will take place in the Second regiment armory where Tom Sharkey and Jack Munroe had it out few weeks ago. It is a large place, capa- ble of housing over TOGO persons. Fitz. who Is in training, is said to be in good shape. Bob declares that he will be ready to fight inside of three weeks time.

WONDERS DO EXPLODE.

This is the time of the year that baseball fans are told that all the play CTS picked up OH trial by the big league clubs are surely wonders" and ''phc- nomenons." But not until the compar- atiye novices have been up against the veterans in red hot championship con tests can a line on their worth be se- cured Because a minor league pitcher strikes out dozen amateurs in prac- rfice game does not mean that he is d Chesbro or Matthewson. for the real test does not come until he faces the skilled batsmen like LaJoie and Wag- ner. Keeler and Collins. A nlayer who strikes ont ten men and whitewasheS his onnanents one day is hero But If, in his next try. he is hatted out of the box. he Is roasted alive. It is tbe player who makes good greater part of the time who holds the esteem of the baseball fans, who. like the Mis- so'rrfans. must he shown hefore they will believe. Therefore it is well ta fake the renorts concerning alleged "wonders" and ''phenomenons'' with plenty of salt.

 at Practice--Interesting
 Notes From All the Leagues.

Atlanta, Ga, March 21.-Jack Pow ell and Bill Wolfe of the New York Americans were wizards in the box Saturday, and the Atlantas with a much stronger team out than the day before, were whitewashed at 6 to 0. Powell held down the box for five in nings, and not hit was made off him or anything that resemblfd it.
 Wolfe worked the last four innings, and was hit for three scattered singles enc made by Thorney of New York. The sharpest kind of fielding by AL lanta cut off several New York bids for hits. Kleinow caught for Atlanta and handled three pitchers ably and made one wild throw trying to head off base runner, and the New York CTS had to hustle for their runs.
 A couple of errors helped them, but they made the most of every opportun- fly and varied their batting tactics to good advantage. Anderson. Williams and Ganzel fie1ded in splendid fashion for the major leaguers and Conroy was pretty lively.
