 The petitioners claim that the exhi- bition would be in violation of the statutes under which. by decision of the Massachusetts supreme court an- nounced yesterday. sparring matches to which the public is admitted by whatever method are illegal

THE PUGILISTS.
JOHN L
 WAS CHAMPION
Billy Madden Shows How He Held the Title-Presi. dents Son Injured More Fight Gossip

Numerous inquiries have been e- ceived as to whether John l.. Sullivan was ever champion of the world. This is how Billy Madden figures it out: My opinion is that John l.. Sullivan was champion of the world. I man. aged him in his palmy days, and can truthfully say that he was always ready to meet all corners and was nev. CT on the losers end until he changed from London prize ring rules to Mar Quis of Queensberly rules. and then met defeat at the hands of younger and more adept exponent of the new style of boxing
 'The argument people use to prove that Sullivan was not worlds cham pion is that he never met foreigners. Whats the matter with Ali Green field Jack Burke. Charles Mitchell Tug WilsO hand others?
 Sullivan was champion of the world because he won the champion ship from Paddy Ryan. Ryan won it from Joe Goss: Joe Goss won it from Tom Allen: Allen had it presented to him by Jem Mace. wi,o for many years previous had been looked upon as kinr of fighters. Peter Jackson. Frank Slavin. Jem Smith and the Oth- CTS were not in the front rank at that time. Sullivan was. ready to meet all corners no matter where they came from or what country they represent- cd. COrhett won the championship under Oueensberrv rules from Sulli- van. Fitz took the title away from Corhett. and then came Jim Jeffries, who is now the undisputed champion. hut still that does not take the honor away from Sullivan of being the worlds champion in the days hefor7 Opeensberry fights were introduced into America.'

AMHERST STUDENT STRIKE.
Claim That Faculty Hns Not Kept
 Good Faith With Them.

AMHERST. Mass. March f. - The senior class ef the Massachusetts Az ricultural college has refused to at tend chapel or class recitations and has determined to remain out until the difficulties with the faculty have been adjusted to the satisfaction of the stu dents.
 The action is tse outcome of the Sus- pension from college of three members of the senior class three weeks ago, due to disturbances in the classroom caused by the throwing of torpedoes and beans. The faculty at that time suspended the three seniors, and i'm mediately the entire class, claiming that all were equally guilty, went out. but was induced to return at the so- licitatiCl of the local alumni.
 The twenty-seven remaining seniors now claim they were led to understand that the alumni would secure the re- instatement of the three men suspend cd. and on this representation the class returned. The three men have not been taken back. and the class decided to leave their studies. The faculty is not inclined to reconsider the action taken

HOW WAS THIS GAME?

There is great rivalry between the Natick and Haverhill teams of basket ball players and the following descrip- ton of one of the games would re- mind you of a battle royal: '.- ..,..
 "The game opened up in lively fash ion. Both teams started fin at fast gait and the 500 spectators were be- ing treated to one of the hest exhibi- tions seen. in the city.
 "Hough started down the floor when Wachter. it is alleged, ripped him, causing him to fall heavily to the floor. The little forward. much to the surprise of everyone, jumped to his feet. ran down the floor and landed q heavy right in back of Wachter's ear, flooring him.
 "Haggerty of Haverlllll went after HOugh and landed a blow which sent the Natick man on his back. FOgarty. who. by the way. it is stated. is a member of the famous fighting FO- garty family of Philadelphia, went af- ter Haggerty and sent him to the mat and was about to continue hOstilities with the same player when Wachter woke up and immediately directed hls attack directly at the Natick forward.
 "FOpartv squared of. as did Wacl- ter. and the crowd was privileged with lively two-minute brush between these men. The affair between the two was brought to an abrupt close when Foeartv hooked his mighty right forcibly against Wachter's left eye. causing the Haverhill center to drift off into the land of nod. He remained in this condition for several minutes.
 ''The spectators all this time were scrapping among themselves and mak- ing unsuccessful attempts to get at the Haverhill players.
 ''The netting was torn down and the men were about to swarm onto the floor when the police appeared and guellcd the disturbance.
 Referee COnnOrs ordered off two of the Haverhill men and Fogarty. but later the managers of both teams patchel uD things and the game went on without much trouble thereafter.

GRIFFITH,s BUSY DAY.


 Montgomery, Ala, March Allan, ager Griffith of the New York Ameri- cans was busy man yesterday. He had his players that are here out for morning and afternoon practice. He made arrangements to use park near- CT to the city than the one used by the Montgomery Southern league team. thus permitting the latter to have full use of their own park, and in the morn- ing he called on Governor Cunningham at the state capitol. The field which the New Workers will use from now on is very large and has fine turf. Yes- terday Griffith was having the field put in shape while his players were capering nimbly on the other ground. Governor Cunningham greeted Griffith cordially and made hit with him. "1 hope your visit will benefit base ball here and benefit your club the gov ernor remarked. Griffith said that he had 10 doubt the latter would. be the case. Then he thanked the governor for his good wishes. Pitchers Newton and HOgg arrived yesterday morning from Los Angeles and took part in the morning and afternoon practice. which was light but beneficial, as it was an other warm day. There was warming up for the pitchers and some peppery batting. Putnam, Holycross and Duff landed on the ball for sounding wallops. A good sized crowd watched the Gotha mites go through their paces. Putnam played with Hogg in Spo- kane. and says the latter has an efrec- tive cross fire and is steady seasoned pitcher. Newton had diphthcria not long ago.

MAY NOT WHISTLE.

According to the letter from Charles E. Cochran. manager of George Hack enschmidt. the worlds champion Graeco- Roman wrestler, there is likely to be some hitch over match between the Russian Lion and the American champion. Frank Gotch, when big Hack arrives here from Australia.
 Hacks manager says that his man will be ready to defend his title against the best man in America at Graeco- Roman wrestling. Hack has never wrestled catch-as-catch-can, at which style Gotch is now American champion.
 Gotch said that he would certainly be glad to wrestle the Russian marvel, but that the match must be at catch as-catch-can style. This method is not used in the foreign countries where Hack has made his reputation. Graeco- Roman has the cali exclusively abroad, and Mir Cochran thinks that Gotch. being on his own dung-fklp should agree to meet Hack at the foreign style.
 "The difference between the two styles,' says Mir Cochran. 'is that in Graeco- Roman all holds below the waist are barred. But the holds used above the waist and the science are just the same. A catch-as-catcll-can wrestler has only to remember j" Graeco- Roman that he may not use certain holds. He has nothing further to learn about his business.
 "Now. with the Graeco- Roman eX- pert things are wholly different. He must learn all the new holds that are possible below the waist. task that would require years before he might become proficient. Hackenschmidt will not be here long enough on his coming trip to take any lessons. He may stay here four weeks at the very longest. and during that time he will agree to meet Gotch, but only at Graeco-ROman."

WRESTLING.
PARR WAS
 DEAD EASY
Jenkins Threw Him Twice In Less Time Than Cotch The Russian Giant May Not Wrestle Here.

In two straight falls last night Wrestler Tom Jenkins of Cleveland proved that Jim Parr of England is not in. his class. The men met to finish, :catch-as-catch-can style, best two out of three, at Sulzer's Harlem River Park Casino, before crowd of fair proportions.
 He displayed wonderful courage and pluck in the face of big handicap. Jenkins took the first fall in 19 min utes and 12 seconds and the second in 9 minutes and 55 seconds. After the match Jenkins issued q. challenge to meet Frank Gotch, who beat him re- gently.
 Jenkins was the aggressOr through out. At the end of the eleventh minute they were on their feet, but Jenkins forced Parr down by diving for his op" ponent's legs. Parr succeeded in wrenching himself free from q bad fore hammer lock and made the crowd cheer when he got away from a half Nelson. After evading a waist lock Parr wrigeled into an inside crotch and was thrown. The time was 19 min. utes and 12 seconds.
 After a rest of ten minutes Jenkins went at the Briton, and by pressing his weight and catching Parr arOunG the waist upset the latter. Jenkins , immediately applied q half Nelson and had Parr tossing from one shoulder to the other. But the Enlishman escaped. Jenkins grabbed Parr around the neck and rolled his man over the mat. Parr was up and doing quickly, but was once more capsized. Jenkins SC. cured q back hammer lock and hal! Nelson. Parr could not get away, al l though he struggled hard. The fal; was gained in 9 minutes and 50 sec onds.
 The preliminary bouts were lively but not very scientific.

CORBETT MAY START OVER.

Johnny CO-bett again may become Young COrbett's manager and start over again with the Denver boy. Cor. bett believes there is still a good liv- ing in the fighting game for YOuD'f Corbett. He says: "When Young Cor hett first began the fighting game he was apt to get scared. had to tell him all the time what great fighter he was, and after he won several figllts I quit telling him that because I thought he had enough confidence. This made him angry. and we split up. When we first started out We toured Kansas and Nebraska by freight. We had punching bag put up in box cars. Any place We could get fight we stopped. Many Il mill netted us less than S5. but our experience was great. Young COrbett gained strength and courage. We might have to again although I prefer the varnished cars. and know Young Corbett does"

 good football men have found it neces- sary to leave as soon after the football season closed as they might without at ,ractinc too much attention. Three men who played on Northwestern's team last fall have left-Simpson. full back; Davidson. end, and Williamson. end. Dan" Boone. who played right tackle on the University of Chicago team, came to the university after graduating from Hillsdale college. where he played full back two years. Boone left immediate ly after the season closed. but it is said he expects to return for the summer ouarter. and in that case he will be eligible to play again. Boone is the only maroon football man to leave. Minne- sota reports one man gone. Tschabold. and it is said all the 'M men are still in school. Capt Heston is the only man of Michigan's 1904 squad to leave, and he had finished his course anyway. Although three men who played at h. diana have left. reasons are advanced which apparently are sufficiently ex- tenuating in the minds of Indiana fol- lowers of football. Fansler. who played three years at Notre Dame and last fall was end and full back is the only man to quit. His departure. it is said. was due to a misunderstanding with a member of the faculty. No football men have left Iowa since the close of the season. fl is announced. Wisconsin. Illinois and Purdue have not made statements as to defections.
