twenty round contest, and it may be
 that the battle will go the limit to q draw. That such a result will happen
 is not altogether improbable, unless
 White wins by knockout.
 Ed Smith, who has been selected to
 referee the contest, is entirely un-
 known in the east, and from what
 can be learned about him is a stranger
 to the boxing fraternity outside of
 California.
 The only dope the American boxing enthusiast seems to have on White Is
 his battles with Spike Sullivan. His fighting ability Is measured in this
 country by those two performances, and they argue that if he could not
 knock out "has been" like Spike Sul- livan, he surely cannot be of much ac- count. The fact of the matter is that
 when Spike Sullivan met Jabez White
 in England he was not ''has been" by long shot
 He was as good as any one we had in this country at the time, with the
 single exception of Joe Cans. Jabez White did not knock out the Irish man, it is true, but he gave him an
 unmerciful pummeling, clearly de- monstrating that he held the foreign CT safe at all stages of the battle. White is a brainy fighter, as we'll as
 an exceptionally clever one. He saw that there was no need for him to take chance on Sullivan landing knock out punch on him. He was bound to
 win by a mile, the way he was fight

WONDERFUL SWIMMING FEAT.
Keran, the Australian, Makes re

Keran, the Australian, Makes Ten
 Worlds Records in One Race.
 Word comes again from Australia of some wonderful swimming feats by B. E. keran, who for little more than a year has proved a veritable iconoclast among the worlds record tables. The event which gave the antipodean the opportunity for an onslaught on the established figures was a half mile handicap given by the East Sydney Swimming club at the Farmers Rush cutters Bay Baths on March IS last. Not only did Keran shatter all previous marks for the half, but from the 450- yard mark to the finish he eclipsed no less than nine worlds records at odd distances.
 All through the race Keran swan the English racing strike, and when the report of the pistol told that he had begun his task Watkinson, promising young swimmer, had covered 150 yards and the other handicap men were more than 100 yards in the lead But Keran never needed the big lead which his opponents had, but putting power into every stroke began to wipe away the big margin yard by yard. Before a quarter of the distance had been tra. .versed 1t was evident that some won. derful times would be recorded. The length of the bath is fifty yards, which Keran madein 31 2-5 seconds, and his time for the 100 yards was 1 minute ( seconds. At 200 yards he was only three seconds behind the worlds rec ord, and at 25O yards was only 1 A seconds behind. For the next 10( yards he eased himself little, but al $50 yards was only seconds short oi the worlds best mark, and the same thing happened at the 40O-yard post Then he hit it up and at 450 yards began the new string of records al every fifty yards. All the old ones were made by Keran himself, or March F, 1904, and both old and new 1 are as follows:

HOW FTTZ DID IT.

Captain Fitzpatrick began the con- struction of what he hopes will be a substantial memento of his season with Springfield by making three safe smacks. Each hit had the ring of health to it. not one of the svats bear ing the puny imprint of fiukiness. Fftz's first drive was a luscious two bsser. to right field which began the effo,ts resulting in the first pair of russ. Later he made a safe slap to left field and stole second and third tases Another jab to left field which couldn't have been stopped by human devices ended FItr's swat-fesf.

HACK. IS FEARLESS.

Truly Georges Hackenschmidt IS the real sport. Likewise his classy man. ager. Charles B. Cochran of London. At the time of the Shad Link and Leo Pardello wrestling farce recently. Cochran attended and made the state, ment that the Russian Lion could throw any. six wrestlers in Brooklyn inside of an hour.
 He also announced at the time that he was willing to bet $500 on 1t. Tor, he it related, there was no one in sight who looked as though he had ever seen $500 all at once.
 But last night. after the show at the Orpheum theater. Brooklyn. Cochran and Hack were seated in the cafe or the Clarendon hotel, when they were suddenly closely inspected by party of five at the next table. One of them Is said to have been Senator Patrick McCarren. After little barley one or the party approached Cochran and said:
 "Did I not once hear you say that YOU would bet $500 that Hacken- schmidt could throw any six men in Brooklyn within an hourT
 "Perhaps you did" replied Cochran.
 "WeIl my four friends and l now are willing to put up that amount and provide the six men. all of whom are to be residents of Brooklyn. and we will bet the $500 that your man can't throw them on the stage of the Colum- bia theater next Friday night"
 "My dear man." said Cochran. "Hack wresfles Tom Jenkins In Madison Square Garden Thursday night for the worlds catch-as-catch-can champion ship. and is it not rather unfair to ask him to tackle a sextet of trolley dodg- CTS on the very next nightr'
 Then big Hackenschmidt himself butted in. He had remained silent through all the previous proceedings.
 That makes no difference" said he. Tt will not tire me to throw Jenkins twice on Thursday night. and I will he ready to tackle the six men you select the night after"
 The money was then posted in the hotel safe. and the wrestler and his manager came over to New York.
 When queried about the six men they propose to stack up against the Russian Ilon. the Brooklyn men were reticent They have not fully decided as vet who they will be. but it is stated on good authority thas one of the sextet will weigh 2SD pounds. Graeco- Roman rules are to govern the bouts

His time for the half mile was II minutes II 3-5 seconds, supplanting his old record of II minutes g 4-5 seconds, made year ago.
 Prior to this performance on March II, at the carnival of the New South Wales Life Saving society. and in the same baths, Keran made an attack on the worlds record for 20 yards. This is 2 minutes 2S 3-J seconds, and was made by F. V. C. Lane at Weston SuperMa England. on August IS, 1902 As Keran's best work seemed to be in distance swimming, the critics said he would be failure as a sprint CT, but here they were mistaken. for he showed great speed.

sf1OL1OAE MAkE6 FIRST HUN.
 Hartford, May 3.-After being shut out twice by Springfield and once by Meriden, HOly0ke came to Hartf0rd yesterday and managed to break into the run column just once. "A mpif by the malaria-afnicted Tomnaie NeWs was responsible for the one run and fortunately 1t was not enough to win the game The Holyoke outfit, led by Rube Vickers and Happy Hooltgan Connolly, indulged in . war dance when the run was made and shook hands with each other over the glad come event The Hartford fans did not begrudge Holy0ke the run as they knew that Foxen held the upper hand and the likelihood of further runs was infinitesimal. s
 Foxen celebrated his return to the game here by pitching one of his sclev- crest games. The curly haired twirler was given welcome by the shiver. ing fans who turned out 200 strong. 1t was a cold day to see game, but there will be good many warm days when the game will not be in the same class as yesterdays. The game was close all the time and time and again good smash would have bro ken the game up in a row. Foxen clearly 0utpitched McCabe, although the latter was invincible except in one inning, The score:

WRESTLING.
WHO WILL
  WIN MATCH
Jenkins or Hackenschmidt Will Decide That Question on Thursday Night Next in New York.

When Tom Jenkins and George Hackenschmidt meet on the wrestling mat Thursday night the clash will be not unlike the struggle between the man and the cannon that Victor Hugo told about. Hackenschmidt is a crea- ture of unguessable strength. .Iis speed is dazzling. He is as dangerous to his adversary as that awful gun, dashing menacingly to and fro on the deck of the rolling ship. Jenkins will rely upon mixture of one part strength and nine parts skill.
 Which will win? In Hugo's story the skilful man conquered the murder ous cannon. But will the parallel hold here? One is inclined to doubt it in the face of the prodigious strength and marvellous quickness of Hacken. schmidt. It is impossible for any one who has seen the power of this man extended to imagine any one putting him down on his back two falls out Of three-or even one fall, for that mat ter.
 Yet Jenkins is far from being a weakling. He will weigh 195 pounds to Hackenschmidt's 210. He was a champion wrestler when the Russian Lion was a boy. He is full of experi- ence and willy tricks. Moreover, he is the champion of the world up to date at the catch-as-catch-can game. He knows more about leg holds than most men could find out by years of study. And he has a marvellous theory about
 balance, of how to use the power and impetus of the enemy to make him throw himself, which he has taught to no man, and which has brought him to the top of the ladder.
 Hackenschmidt is the worlds cham- piOn at Graeco- Roman wrestling in which no hold is allowed below the waist. In making the match with Jen-
 kins for the championship of the world
 he has gone out of the style to which he is accustomed, to take up one that is strange. Yet let no one think he Is taking too great risk, for this young
 man has fine brain as well as
 mountain of brawn, and he has been studying the catch-as-catch-can system for the last five weeks.
 But the thing no man can forget IS the way Hackenscrmidt threw Jen- kins when they met in London. Hack grabbed Tom around the body, lifted him in the air as if he were truss Of straw, spun him round and round in sort of infuriated waltz, till Tom didn't know whether he was af1oat or ashore. then dashed him down on his back as easily as child can put down | a doll Will that happen tomorrow night
 Or will the willy Jenkins. playing his own game in his own land, manage to elude the Russians awful grip! It's one of thos things no one can tell ill advance, yet Hack toyed with Tom when they met before, and history mas knack of repeating itself.
 One thing is certain, those who go to
 Madison Square Garden Thursday night will see the two greatest wres
 tiers in the world, each trying his best to win.
