swore vengeance. The cause of this ruling was the fact that Rice had seen fit to enter his animals in the events of the Union Park Jockey club at St. Louis. He raced there until the plant was closed. and then found himself shut out from the other courses in the west The captain is easily aroused when anyone infringes on what he considers his personal rights. In this case he maintains that the stewards did this very thing, hold ing that fraud alone is sufficient req son for barring an owner from the turf. Rowing temporarily to the GUS toms of the board he appeared before it and asked for reinstatement He was met with refusal. Then he vowed that if he couldn't race his ami als on any track he chose no one else would race in this state. Rice is a warm personal friend of Gov. Jeff Davis of this state, and he consulted with the executive. The result is the Amis bill now before the legislature. which. if passed, will create a state racing association, with power to regu- late the game in the state. and make it an offense for track owner to debar any reputable horseman from his course. Rice owns a string of more than 41 horses. The animals are quartered on his farm at Warner. Ark. where they have been in retirement since July 15. During that time none of them have appeared in a race and the consequent heavy expense to which the captain has been subjected has not tended to increase his respect for the Western Jockey club. Rice has lent his support to the promoters of the American Jockey club. One of the cardinal principles of the new organi- zation is an announcement that wei come will be extended to all reputable horsemen. Rice has decided to ship all of his horses that are in condi- ton to race to Panama Park. New Orleans.

tion is enthusiastically supported by the members of the team and the board. Phil Kings return to the west is expected to arouse unusual inter- est among football followers. Kings decline at Madison followed the nat ural course of events in the life of coach. For years he had been suc- cessful. Wisconsin men say to-day that Kings team may have been beaten, but that it was never dis graced. King had developed by hard work a group of stars of which Arthur Curtis was the leader. While they lasted Kings interest lasted. When they graduated King did not have the heart to take up the work again, ap- parently, and hence his demand for an increase of salary, which led to the breaking of relations between him and the school. About this time the rules permitted the change of a game which practically made Yost famous in this middle west. It was the use of line- men combinations in the back field, which far surpassed the old guards back play of Woodruff and his pupil, Knipe. King, relying on his stars and the old Princeton game, so effective, even under the 1904 rules, did not seem to grasp the importance of the newer style of play or the broad field of attack the rules then opened up. , If he did he did not have the mental interest then to take up the prob lem. He quit the west then, just as the rulemakers changed the game back into his hands, if the expression could be used. The game as played to-day is essentially Phil Kings game and fans predict Wisconsin will forge at once to the front under his care. Kings lay off, his opportunities to Princeton in the east and possibly the Harvard game. too, are expected to prove invaluable to the ex-Tiger quarterback. King understands Wis consin; he understands student poli- tics which needs the hand of mas ter to down the knocking" cross pulling among athletes, trainers, coaches and student onlookers, which mas prevented Wisconsin from advanc- ing in athletics, particularly football, since Kings retirement.

MI1RPHY AFTER MORAN.

Tommy Murphy of Harlem is the first fighter to accept the broadcast challenge of Owen Moran of England, who announced his willingness the ether day to meet any lad weighing from III to 11S pounds. Murphy was one of the boxers named in the def, and Johnny Oliver, his manager, says that he will meet Moran's representa- tive at any time to talk over the ar ranging of match.
 The match depends on how Murphy fares against "Chick" Tucker, whom he is to meet in six round bout at Philadelphia next Wednesday after. noon. Murphy declares that he can easily make 11S pounds. and if every thing is all right he prefers to face the Briton at the scale, providing the weighing in is at the ringside. Oliver thinks that Murphy will be able to fight Moran some time next May in England or before then in this country.

NELSON STILL FAVORITE.

In all probability Battling Nelson will be q slight favorite in the betting when he meets Young Corbett on Feb ruary 2S in Frisco. Corbett is training very hard and will be in splendid shape, he says. Joe Cans. who is help ing COrbett, says he will fight Britt, Nelson, Gardner or Lewis at 133 pounds, weigh in at 6 or : o'clock, or 134 pounds ringside, and also that hs will bet 5000 against $3,5O0 that he will win. Cans has already posted a 5000 forfeit as a guarantee of good faith. If Nelson beats ,Corbett, the Dane will probably take Cans on.

THE DIAMOND.
CON DANAHER
 WILL STICK
As the Democrat Predicted Several Weeks Ago, He Will Control New haven Team-L ther News.

Some weeks ago the Democrat sporting writer, in an article on Con- necticut league base ball, predicted that Attorney Danaher of Meriden would be ill the league again with a strong team representing New Haven, not Withstanding all the reports and stories about independent base ball and Wa terbury taking New Haven's place and all the other silly rumors. At that time the article stated that Danaher knew when he had a good thing and he was not going to let go of it because of personal differences with MT O'Rourke of Bridgeport. That story also stated that Danaher should not be knocked for trying to get as big a price as he possibly could for his fran chise. because he took hold of New Haven when New Haveners with plen- ty of money were afraid to spend cent in securing new grounds and q Jew team practically.
 That story is now practically veri. fed, for the little fighting attorney of Meriden has announced sthat he will be in the game again, although he will not probably take an active part ill the management of the New Haven club. Danaher is plucky little fellow and Las grit and sand enough for man twice his size, and if he does not make the other teams in this league hustle for that pennant this season the people who know him over here in Waterbury have been mistaken in the man.
 SPECIAL MEETING POSTPONED.
 The special meeting of the directors of the Connecticut Base Ball league scheduled to take place at Hotel Garde, New Haven, tonight, has been postponed until Monday night, Febru' ary P. At that time the schedule con- mittee, James H. O'Rourke, Dan O'Neil and Charles H. Humphrey, win submit list which will in all proba- bility be adopted. Secretary O'Rourke yesterday could not tell the probabili- ties of the opening of the league until April 2S. He thought perhaps that New Haven might play at Bridgeport, Meriden at Hartford, Holyoke at Springfield and Norwich at New Lon don. He thinks this would be satis- factory arrangement, but could not say ttat it would be the schedule.
