 these liberal figures. Thereupon the bookmakers who had offered the price
 dropped to ? to 1.
 There is strong feeling in San Francisco just now that Hyland has an excellent chance to beat the eN-
 champion. .'Fighting Dick" has fought more battles during the INV" l years he has been in the ring than many professional boxers take part ih during their entire careers. He has never been beaten in that time and
 won forty-two fights. thirty-one of which were knorkouts. This record has no effect whatever on the extreme
 confidence Neil has in himself. Frankie thinks it impossible to lose. just as he thought before every one of his prryi- olis encounters. Those who saw the
 last three bouts Neil took part in de-
 clare that he did nothing remarkable
 in those fights. He no more than it.rok,S even with IIughey M'Goveri,

 Amateurs and Proc
 There is no doubt that the kaiscrs race will give yachtsmen n wonderful chance 10 demonstrate ability. or lack of it. as practical seamen. If ay the yachts were sailed by amateurs the honor would be still greater, but he yond doubt three of every five vessels will he managed by experienced pro fessionals.
 Races of so great q length. however, are not such conclusive tests of ability as many people imagine them to be. The conditions of wind and sea vary materially in parts not far distant from each other. One yacht may he becalm- ed. yet rival craft five miles away or even two or three miles distant may be bowling along at a lively rate of speed. \ yacht fifteen or twenty miles distant may be scudding along under double reefs
 i What Could Happen. . A yacht may fall twenty-five or thir- ty miles behind rival craft. but by meeting with a favorable slant of wind she can make up the lost distance aud win the race hy handsome margin. While covering a course J.oCp miles in length. especially early in thc spring. when cun,iitions are more variable than in midsummer. there are almost limit less opportunities for unexpected de velopments.

THE PUGlLISTS.
SCHEME OF
 CLARK BALL
His Offer Of a Big Purse In Panama Is Taken as a Joke-Interest In Nell and Hyland.

Clark Ball, pugilistic promoter, has made bid for the b-Fitzsimmons, Jack O'Brien contest. He guarantees S25.OOO for finish fight. to be pulled off in Panama, before a club of which lie says he is soon to be director.
 Ball was the man who engineered and managed the partnership between Bob Fitzsimmons and Jim Jeffries. t was the best thing Ball ever had. and everything went swimmingly until the show swo0ped down on Butte, Mont, one fateful day in December. 1902. There appeared one Jack Munroe, |, big miner. who appeared against Champion Jeffres in four-round bout, Jeffries contracting to stop him inside that distance. At the end of the bout Jack was still there. and tue referee, intimidated by the shooting irons of Jacks miner friends, handed Munroe the decision.
 It was Ball who first saw the con- | ing heavyweight champion in Munroe. He was the ''original Munroe man. to use political term. It was Ball who sent broadcast over these United States the report that Jeffries had heen knocked down and thoroughly beaten by Munroe.
 1 The Fitz-.Jeffries-Ball combination exploded with a bang. the show was disrupted, and Ball blossomed forth as the manager of Munroe, the coming heavyweight champion.
 Ball and Munroe did not hang to, gether long. but it was long enough for Munroe to get the fighting bee in his bonnet. And away from Ball, Munroe really looked good for while.
 He knocked out Peter Maher of Phil. adelphia, and then in Boston one Al Limerick was led to the slaughter Then Jack. under the tutelage of Kid Mccoy. succeeded in beating Ton. Sharkey. And then came the man. slaughter by Jeffres at Frisco. Clark Ball announced himself as the manager of Sharkey when the Sharliey, Munroe match was in the air. but as soon as club took the bout Clark re- tired with more or less grace. Clark also discovered another com ing heavyweight champion. Henri | Placke or llOlIuIlu Stfuck Ahieilch hospitable shores. and Ball immediate ly took charge of the Dutchman's ca reer, and challenged everybody ir sight from Jeffries down. e
 Kid Mccoy. who had been out oi the game for some time. saw a chance to pick up a little easy money. Plackt weighed 25O pounds. was over six feel tall and looked a giant.
 Mccoy. the sneering. with his 11 pounds and meagre five feet eleven was a pigmy beside him. The bout came off in Philadelphia. and in tn, second round the police said. "lloli. il is enough"
 Herr Placke misunderstood the GUS toms of our ring. and after it was all over complained that Mir Mccoy had been very rough.t that instead of boxing the Kid had hit him harder than ar American gentleman should soak th' stranger within his gates
 But Clark Ball. now that there aft 10 more coming heavyweight cham pions in sight. essays to be a promoter Will the foxy F'itz and O'Brien bite al the Panama bait? Only one guess al lowed a customer.

AREMARKABLE RACE
Christie, Winning Fifty Mile Auto Event, Finished Alone.
ALL OTHER PLIERS BROKE DOWN.
Ormond Reach Witnessed Chapter of fAccfdents-Barney OldAeld and Webb Had Usual Luck of Un-
 happy ChauHeurs.

ORMOND, Fla, Jan. 2S.-- Walter Christie, in his sixty horsepower Chris. tie car. won the fifty mile race for American cars for the Lozier trophy here, his official time being hour 9 minutes and 20 1-5 seconds.
 The fifty mile race for the Lozier trophy was a most remarkable one. X. c. Webb, in seyenty-five horse power machine; Barney Oldfield, in a 246O horsepower machine, and Walter Christie. in a sixty horsepower ma chine, being the only starters. The start was made from the sixteen mile post at Ormond, and the course was laid twelve and half miles down the beach. two rounds to complete the tif- ty miles, with two minute contrOl,at each turn Accidents happened from start to finish. Mir. Christie broke a wire in his machine and was delayed over fifty minutes. Mir. Webb also ! broke down before he had covered six miles. Meanwhile Barney Oldfeld went down the course and back again. It was discovered that he turned at the ten mile instead of the twelve and a half mile post. and he had to run the first half of the race over again. Mir. Webb and Mir. Christie did not know of their competitors mistake and had practically given up the race. MT. Webb, after making repairs. went on the track, but Mir. Christie continued l on the course. Coming back on the first round. Mir. Oldfeld lost his right hand rear tire. and it went spinning into the breakers. Meanwhile Mfr. Christie finished his first round. He had passed Oldield in the second | round, as he thought. and was about to give ID, when he learned how Old field stood. He hustled away again in | the last twenty-five miles. Then Old field came back on three tires. He de- cided to startJout for Mfr. Christie nev- | crtheless, but only ran as far as the clubhouse. when he left the track for the garage. Mir. Christie therefore was the only one to finish and won the trophy.
 | In the first twenty-five miles Mir. Christie made it in 4S minutes and 34 seconds: Oldfield. 35 minutes and Az seconds. Mir. Christie made the last twenty-five miles in "A minutes and 46 seconds, winning the race in 1 hour. II minutes and 20 l.5 seconds.
 The only other race run was spe' cial match between Guy Vaughan in his forty horsepower and Leon Bolee in his forty horsepower machine for ten miles. Mir. Vaughan won by four sec onds: time. 8 minutes and 25 20 sec. onds. X high tide and l,impy course prevented the other races.
 FavonIus and Dan Mckenna Won.
 NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 2s.--Favonius and Dan McKenna. both of whom won with considerable ease, were the only successful favorites. Signal II. and Georgia Baldwin lasted just long enough in their races 10 beat Evelyn Kinsey and Mary Glenn. the favorites. Joe Lesser was strongly fancied in the last race. but seemed short and unfit. Rian f6uled Tootsie Mack in the stretch and was disqualified. third place being given to Handspinner.
