made encouraging reports regarding the
favor with which the new organization Is
being received among the women golfers
in their respective localities. Before adopt

previous to the annual meeting Of the Met
ropolitan Association.
The association was represented by Its
president and secretary. Mrs. E. F. San

NELSON-McGOVERN
MATCH CALLED OFF

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, December IA
The fight between Terry McGovern and
Battling Nelson, arranged by Robert e.
Deadly, has fallen through John Lofts,
employed assistant matchmaker by
Deadly, said last night that, SO far as
Deadly was concerned there would be no
contest in this city.
Deadly is disguised After virtually
signing the men, through their mana gers,
for 10 per cent of the gross gate receipts.
he was compelled to raise the ante to 50
per cent Everything apparently, had
been arranged when Deadly, who had spent
considerable money, learned that Billy
Nolan, Nelson's manager, and Joe Hum
sphrfes, McGoverns manager. had locked
horns over the matter of splitting" the
80 per cent of the gross receipts.
= McGovern naturally expected an even
split of the money, inasmueh the bout
was only to go six rounds and no decision
was to be rendered one way or the other
Nolan maintained that as Nelson was now
the recognized champion he was entitled
to the larger end of the money
Deadly understood that things had been
satisfactorily adjusted and he went ahead
with his arrangements for the bout and is
out a considerable sum for hall rent lum-
her, seats new ring and advertising.
1t can be stated positively, however, that
Nelson and McGovern will be matched and
may fight near this city In twenty-round
battle. Several of the promoters in
terested and one prominent in fistic circles
stated that Deady's action in calling the
match off meant no more than that he had
dropped out as the promoter and the fight
ers would appear either in the city in a
six-round go or rear the county line in a
twenty-round fray. The latter is the most
likely.
There are a number of local promoters
anxious to arrange for the bout

NEW ORLEANS RACES.
Both Tracks Muddy, but Favorites

In spite OF the fact that both tracks at
New Orleans yesterday were fetlock deep

and favorites won their share Of the races
Al City Park the infield was in such bad
condition that. at the request of owners
and jockeys. the steeplechase was declared
OF. 1t would have been dangerous for
horses and riders to race over the jumps
with the turf so soft and holding. This
did not spoil the program, as seven races
had been carded Some excitement was
caused in the second race. when Adare the
favoIdte, fell seventy yards from the finish
Adare was plainly beaten at the time and
neither horse nor jockey was hurt. Paris

which team got the better of the deal
Hermann of Cincinnati made ten strike
by signing Edward Hanlon to manage the
Cincinnati club next year. Hermann stood
ready to outbid all other competitors, and
IIanlon will receive a salary close TO $12, 900
for next year.
There will be no shortening of the cham
pionship schedules of the big leagues next
year. both of them having practically de-
cided on 1874 games. This means that the
worlds series will probably consist of seven
games next fall, although longer series is
deemed more satisfactory.

AS TO BETTING
ON SENTIMENT

A party of New Workers. were talking
about betting on the ponies as a matter OF
sentiment, says the New York Press. One
man had told how he had put a dollar on
a 50-to-1 shot simply because the horse
bore the name Of a newspaper friend of
his and won. Another had put i've on q
20-to-l because the Ally had the first name
OF an old sweetheart OF his and won A
third had bet on q hundred -to-oner because
She bore the name of his mcther-in-iaw,

he is in excellent condition. and after his
work he stepped on the scales and weighed
163 pounds.
The road work in the morning was eight
miles and the inside exercises lasted an
hour and a quarter. OfBrten punched the
bag, worked on the pulley weight and did a
turn at punching the dummy.
This was followed by six rounds OF boxing
with kid German and Swanson, going
three rounds apiece. The last named has

his trial horses, the Cornishman repeated
his morning workout in the afternoon with

companion.

NATIONAL LEAGUE MEETING.
Pulliam Reelected President, Over
coming Brush's Opposition.

NEW YORK, December 14-All further
speculation as to the probable action OF
the National League regarding the presi-
dency for the ensuing year was put at an
end at the meeting yesterday afternoon by
the reelection OF Harry Puliiam. Although
his reelection was ultimately made unani-
nous, 1t was strenuously opposed. but not
to the extent that had been anticipated
James A. Hart Of Chicago was placed
in nomination against President PulIam by
John T. Brush of the New York club, and
even though his name received no second,
Mr.. Brush and August Hermann Of Gin
cinnati cast their ballots for him. Mr.. Pull
liam, to the surprise OF many, was nomi-
mated by Barney Dreyfuss OF Pittsburg,
Messrs. Shettsline, EbbetS and Murphy
seconding the nomination.
Mr.. Hart was present at the meeting
when his name was placed in nomination
and after a brief lull, during which there
was no seconding voice heard Mr.. Hart
arose and made brief speech, ending with
the statement that he declined to be can
didate, and would, under no circumstances,
oppose Mr.. Pulliam. Notwithstanding
these conditions, when the ballots were
counted It was found that two had been
cast for Mr.. Hart. 1t was an open secret
that they were the votes of the two gen.
tlemen already mentioned. The vote was
then made unanimous

the Venezuelan case, involving the in
terests of the New York and Ber-
mudez Asphalt Company, popularity
known as the "Asphalt Trust, is
closed incident. In other words, the
United States will accept without pro-
test President Castro's refusal to sub
nit the case to arbitration while it is
pending in the Venezuelan courts, and
all sens ational reports to the con-
trary, which will doubtless appear
from time to time in the daily press,
may be accepted as without warrant
OF course, if Castro perpetrates some
overt act against an American citizen
the vengeance Of the United States will
follow swiftly and surely, but as long
as Castro confines his course merely
to prolonging the pending litigation
this country will attempt no reprisals.
