WARMING ISSUED
BY DR.. VIM. GRANT
Preliminary Boxers and
WrestIers Are Pros.
BARRED FROM OTHER EVENTS
Much-Needed Tip Given by a. A. U.
Oficial-No Wrestling at Balti-
more Tournament.

For number of reasons which need
not be stated those in charge of the
amateur tournament to De held in Bal
timore on January 80 and 81 have de-
cided not to have any wrestling eompe-
titions, but to limit this experiment to
boxing.
Later on. it is said, there will be a
chance for the amateur wrestlers of the
South Atlantic division of the Amateur
Athletic Union to settle the question OF
superiority on the mat The cutting out
of wrestling for the present resulted
from conference IN Baltimore yester-
day of those who have been working up
interest in mat and ring sports IN that
city
Timely Warning.
In connection with the boxing tourna-
ment DR.. William Grant, chairman of
the registration committee of the South
Atlantic division. has written a letter
to the Sporting Editor of The Times, IN
which he issues a warning against pro-
fessionalism in the bouts. Dr.. Grant
says in part:
IT wish you would make public to your
readers. the fact that any man who has
appeared at any of the professional eX-
hibitions. which, of course. are unsanc-
toned by the A. A. T., has by that ac-
ton made himself a professional There
sforef he would not be registered if he
made application for registration, and
could not enter any sparring, wrestling
or other amateur athletic event
Have Ignored Rules.
This warning by Dr. Grant is ex-
tremely timely as there has been q ten
dency among the younger ewrestlers, es-
peciauy in Washington, to completely ig-
more the amateur rules and take par
in the preliuainariee to professional
bouts as if there We're no prohibition
against such a course. There seems t.
have been a general impression that i
would be all right TO enter preliminary
if no money were accepted. Acting OF
this theory a. number of promising
youngsters in Washington have profes
sionalized themselves and are barret
not only from amateur wrestling bu
amateur basketball, field, and tracl
meets, swimming races, and all tht
other sports over which the a. a u ha
authority.
1t is to be hoped that the warning o
DR.. Grant will be needed and that thos
who go iii the wrestling and boxin.

carefully consider the step they ar
taking.

GOOD WRESTLING is
PROMISED TONIGHT
Fred Beell Will Undertake to Throw
Joe Grant Twice IN One
Hour.

Joe Grant and Fred BeeH will meet
tonight in their handicap wrestling
match at the Washington Light Infan-
try Armory.
Grant will weigh about 15S pounds,
while Beeil is expected TO weigh at
least 10 pounds, or even more. Not
much Is known about BeelIs style of
wrestling, as he has never been seen
in this city, and has made but one ap-
pearance in the East. That was when
he three Americus three times in Bal
tirnore, gaming one of the falls in three
minutes. He has Contracted to throw
Grant twice in an hour. Those who
saw him deefeat Americus report that
he is a hustling, aggressive wrestler,
just the kind TO win an hour bout, but
he Will have q hard man to handle, for
the speciality of the Washington man Is
handicap matches in which he has a
chance to use his remarkably strong
defense
The main bout will be preceded by
three pre- iminaries. The preliminary
boys have. developed rapidly this win
ter, and their exhibitions are better
each time.

The directors of the Eureka Athletic
Club, of Baltimore, are making elaborate
plans for its meeting next Friday night
at Germania Meennerchor Hall Unless
plans go by the board the meeting
promises to be the big one OF the year.
The events, at least the three main
ones. will be a sor- of intercity affair
There are several good youngsters in
the Capital and in view of the fact
that Sullivan 0no will meet Joe Tip
man in the min bout that night is also
a Washington lad, it was thought that
a number of intercity battles would
prove more than interesting.

Col Andy MuIligan, of the Wilmington
Athletic Club has written Britt, offering
So 600 or a percentage of the gate, for
the battle. He received a reply from
Britt yesterday. IN his letter the native
son says he doubts if White will come
to this country.
He says he has cabled him personally
in regard to the matter, besides having
several managers of affairs pugilistic
do the same. However, he closes with
the remark that he does not wish TO
make a definite statement in regard to
the proposed bout here just yet. as he
wishes TO hear the result Of Mulligan' s
efforts to secure White first
Mulligan insists that White VIII surely

of bringing off the bout between the

Personal Comment on Men and
THINGS in the Field of Sports

After all the reports that ne had
entered Yale, Lightbody, the crack mid
die distance runner who won big events
at the st. Louis meet last summer. has
returned to Chicago and as a result
there is joy in the Maroon camp The
disqualification of Ralph Rose, the shot
putter, has greatly weakened the Mich
igan team and Chicago now has visions
of victory IN the Western intercol-
iegfate meet
After years of dissension and quarrel
ing the leading skating clubs of the
United States and Canada have gotten
together and formed the National ANA
teur Skating Association This organiza-
ton will control practically all the
ska ting tournaments, and at the end of
each season a championship meet will
De held in which all the cracks of the
country are expected to participate. In
the future the records made on the ice
viii be handled by the newly organized
association.
In this department yesterday the
writer expressed the opinion that Dick
Croker deserves the treatment that he
has received at the hands of the English
turf officials. Now comes the Sporting
Times" of London, one of the leading
sporting sheets in Great Britain. with
the following: Whatever Mr. Croker
may have been in America, we have
heard nothing against him here. We
may state as regards racing he is con-
sidered a mug rather than otherwise
Some spell mug in his case with capital
letters We shall not commit the error
OF thinking him one. though we quite
believe that he is S50.ooo out of pocket
from his connection with the English
turf"
Charley Comiskey has refused 10 re-
lease Catcher Mcfarland and has an
nounced his intention of giving the
wayward player another chance II
will be remembered that just at the
time when his services were needed the
most Mcfarland quit the White Sox last
summer, and the brunt of the catching
fell upon Billy Sullivan Mcfarland has
promised to keep in shape next season.
The success of the New Orleans Club
has brought a ray OF hope into the box
