BERNSTEIN AND DAILY.

New York, Dec 20-After an absence of several years Joe Bernstein, tho champion of the Ghetto, returned to the, ring again Monday night Bern stein met Tommy Daly of Baltimore in a three round wind up at the Rem sen A. C.. Beethoven hall, 210 East Fifth street.
 They lost no time in coming togeth- CT. Joe rushed and landed left hook to the cheek. Daly reached the body with the left and Joe landed on tho neck with the left. Daly landed Jeff to the wind and followed the punch with a jab on the nose, bringing the blood. DaIy uppercut Joe on the chest. and Bernstein got home a right on the mouth in a mix-up. Bernstein rougled 1t in the third and beat Daily about the body. but came near being put away with a left swing that missed his Jnw by hair. Daly had the better of the first two rounds, but Bernstein did all the work fin the final round and was entitled to a draw.
 Patsy Haley of Buffalo went on with Emergency Kelly of Boston. Haley's cleverness apparently has not desert ed him. for he scored point after point. Both indulged in close range fighting in the third Kelly put the right on the jaw, while Haley eyened it up with a blow under the heart. The outcome was draw.
 The opening bout furnished a clean knockout. the principals being Frank Borden and Young Lewis. After one minute of fighting in the second round Lewis was knocked out with a right swing on the jaw. Kid House and Mike Murray fought draw. House was bleeding from the nose at the bell. Tony Moran outpointed Bill Smith. Two bantams, Young Carney and Terry Rogers. were prevented from finishing the first round of their bout for faking. Walter Delaney punched Young Brennan SO hard in the third round that the referee called a halt tO prevent a knockout.

AND A FEW MORE.

New York, Dec 20.-Joe Bernstein was billed to meet Abe Attell at the Summit 4. C., on East Thirteenth street, this city, last night, in a three round bout. For financial reasons he refused to go on, so the featherweight champion met Eddie Daily of Brooklyn. Attell simply played with Daly, who was no match for him. In the second round Attell dropped Daly and through courtesy allowed him to last the jour- ney.
 Mike Harris. an old timer. who beat Joe Walcott many years ago, met the Broadway Slasher. Harris looked like a winner in the first and second rounds; but the Slasher by getting to Harris's wind and with a succession of body blows finally put Harris out of the hunt with a cracking right to the jaw.
 The preliminaries furnished lively sport. Mike Sullivan won from Young Seigler, Young Lee beat Frankie Ev- ans, Billy Harmed practically knocked out Sam Garlin in the third. the last round being cut short. Jim Moran and Young Frenchy fought an interesting draw. and Tim O'Brien had all the bet ter of Harry Brown.

SOME GOOD RECRrITs.

Ofhcial averages of the American association. just out, show the work of four of McGraw's recruits: Catcher Marshall, who was with the New 1orks year before last and played with Minneapolis last year; Robinson, shortstop, drafted from Milwaukee; Pitcher Wright. drafted from Louis vile. and Pitcher Ferguson, pur- chased from Louisville. Robinson's official average for batting last season was .2G3 and for fielding .Ss2. He had 323 put outs. 422 assists and 90 errors. The records show that Wright won five and lost twelve games. certainly not very good showing on the sur face.
 Ferguson won fourteen games and lost eighteen. He struck out l27 men, gave l04 bases on balls and had eight wild pitches. Opponents scored lTG runs off him. were at bat LIT times and made 329 hits. Marshall made Il fine record in the American associa- tion. He caught seventy-eight games ahd had a fielding average of .97T and batting average of .313. He had 353 put outs. elghty-three assists and seventeen passed balls. As a long dis tance hitter he was conspicuous with eighteen two baggers. six three bag gers and nine home runs

THE DIAMOND
MAYOR TOM NOW
The General Supervisor of Empires Will Have to Resign to Be
 Boss of Meriden.

The directors of the Connecticut Baseball league, when they meet in New Haven tomorrow afternoon, will receive the resignation of Thomas l.. Reilly, chief of the umpire system of the league. MT Reilly was elected mayor of Meriden yesterday and his official duties will not give him any time to delye into baseball.
 |. That Attorney C. J. Danaher, owner of the New Haven baseball franchise, wants more money for this particular piece Of property than it is worth, is the opinion of Billy Lush, the Yale baseball coach, and at one time bid der for the New Haven club. Mir Lush IS quoted as saying that Danaher's price is exOrbltant and unreasonable and If he holds to his present figures no one in New Haven will buy the club. He IS reported to have said that his negotiations with Mr Danaher, looking to the purchase of the club, are all off. They could not get any where near an agreement as to the price, though several forms of pay ment were suggested by the holder of the club
 Mr Danaher's intentions, should be not dispose of the club, are well known. He has said that he will hold the baseball park and lease it out 10 amusement concerns, which means mat If the franchise should go to some one else by default, that that some one else will have to look up A new baseball field. It is considered unlikely that MT Danaher will allow tne franchise to be take away from him by the league.

BICYCLING
NO RACE THERE
Disappointed Riders Will Have to Find Some Other Place
 Than Florida

!. It was authoritatiyely announced yesterday that there will be no paced bicycle races during the Ormond Beach automobile tournament next month. Hugh MacLean of Chelsea, Mass, and Bobby Walthour of Atlanta, Ga, had approached the management with view of contesting against each other in motor paced races on the hard Flor ida beach in January, but Senator" W. l. Moran said yesterday that there would be no cycle events of any kind run during the Ormond races.
 Ever since the death of Frank Croker there has been a great preju- dice against allowing either bicycles or motor cycles on the Ormond- Day tona beach," said MT Morgan, land for that reason it has been decided to re- fuse the request of MacLean and Walthour regarding the addition of one or more motor paced bicycle races They hoped to compete in series of races from 10 to 100 miles, and would undoubtedly have made a lot of new records on the long. straight stretch of hard sand. Walthour in particular was very anxious for a try at the straight-away mile record, which he predicted could be placed at 45 sec onds by himself if he were able to have big high powered racing auto mobile fitted with wind shield. Wal thour had figured that a wedge shaped wind shield could be affixed at the back of fast racing car, and by fitting his mount with a very high gear that he could cover a mile in 45 seconds or better. However, his theory cannot be tried out at ormond next month"
 Mir Morgan did say that :t is quite possible that a series of races may be arranged between Tommy Hall of Eng land and Walthour, to be run at the automobile race meet at Atlantic Beach on April f. , and 6. This beach is thirty miles long. running north from St Augustine and finishing not very far from Jacksonville, and has longer straight-away stretch than the Ormond Beach. Tommy Hall rode in the recent six day race in Madison Square Gar. den, but was put out of it by broken collarbone. He will return here in March and expects to do his training in the south.

THE PUGILlSTS
OLD MAN FIT
Betting Now Favors Fitzsimmons Against 0'Brien = Results of
 Other Battles.

San Francisco, Dec 20.-When Bob Fitzsimmons and Philadelphia Jack OBrien take the center af the pugilis- tic arena at Mechanics pavilion to- night it will be clash of the man who has been called the most wonderful fighter of the age with the speediest boxer in the game to-day. As to the result the opinions of fight experts here are as widely different as the two poles.
 Those who favor Fitz point to his excellent condition and the fine work he did in training, so different when he fought George Gardner here two years ago. The o'Brien faction, while realizing that the Phiadelphian has big contract on hand, figure that his youth and wonderful cleverness will be served and that Jack will get the bigger end of the purse.
 No definite line on the outcome can be gathered from the betting. Harry Corbett announced yesterday that there was more Fitzsimmons money in sight than the packers of OBrien had shown a disposition to cover. The Philadelphian was an odds-on favorite up to Sunday night. Since then there has been a switch in the betting, owing to the fact that several millionaires. in- spired by the glowing accounts from Fftz's training quarters, have dumped thousands of dollars into the pool rooms with orders to place the money on Fitz to the best advantage.
 In Corbett's opinion, and no man in the city is in closer touch with the pulse of the betting situation, Fftz- simmons will be favorite when the men enter the ring.
 Last night packers wishing 10 in vest were met in the pool rooms with the quotation. I'll lay you 4 to 4 and take your pick --...
 Both Fitz and Jack predict the fight will end in a knockout before they have gone the full distance, and each is confident the others head will be resting on the canvas when Referee Eddie Graney counts the fatal ten seconds. -- There is much more at stake in this battle than the somewhat empty title of Tight heavyweight champion Be sides the gate money, which is expect ed to reach S25.000. Fitz, if he wins, will be put on a theatrical tour of twelve weeks at 5000 per week by Belasco and Mayer theatrical man. agers. If O'Brien wins he will make at least S25.000, in stage work.
