THE PUGlLISTS. TERRY AND
 THE DANE
They Are Matched to Meet For Six Rounds-Kauf- man and O'Brien Meet T0.night-Jem Mace May Come.

Terry McGovern will fight Battling Nelson six rounds some time near the middle of December, probably in a Philadelphia cub..

 Zoe Humphreys, New York.
 Nolan will do business for middle of December. Weight 130 pounds. Will accept $8,000 guarantee, with privilege of taking 30 per cent, but house must have seating capacity of 1000. Can you accept?
 HI. W. JANGON."

He said that as Terry could get the match with Nelson all of the challenges from other fighters which have been received since McGovern defeated Tommy Murphy would he passed up. After the battle with the Dane, he said, Terry would be ready to meet any of them.

WRESTLING.
JENKINS TO co TO WEST
 POINT..SWANSON WON

Tom Jenkins, the champion wrestler of America, has been appointed boxing and wrestling instructor at the Nation al military academy at West Point by President Roosevelt.
 Jenkins arrived, in response to a cable from the commandant at the academy, in New York from London Wednesday on the Oceanic, and left last night for his home in Cleveland, where he will spend two days, and then go immediately to West Point to take up his new duties.
 I'm tickled to death over the ap- pointment,n he said yesterday. It's thing that I've been looking for for some time and it means my retirement from the mat. I'll never wrestle for money again. Negotiations have been pending for some time and the week before last We came to terms and they cabled for me to come. You can bet I didn't waste any time.
 You see, there's mighty little in the wrestling game just at present in this country and still less in England, where l have been for some time. It's nice, clean job I've landed and l mean to stick to 1t as long as they'll have me"
 Jenkins has been considered ever since he entered the professional ranks as one of the cleanest men in the busi. ness. He is also of higher order of intelligence and education than the average wrestler, which made the ath- letlc authorities at West Point anxious to secure him. He is not only a wrest- Ter, but a boxer and all round athlete of ability.
 'T'm glad to get back" he said. Things in London and in England gen. eraIly are on the bum. Not only in sporting circles is this true. but in every way. Thousands and thousands of men are out of work over there, and they swarm the streets begging for penny and trying to panhandle you out of anything they can. Its worse over there now than it was when COxey's army started here. They tried to pre- sent a petition to the king the other day, but he wouldn't give them show. I don't know what the outcome will be.
 "In sporting circles" he continued. "it's awful The game there Is in the hands of a few rich men who have things their own way and aren't giving up any money. Why. just to illustrate: There was a little boxer who fought five times before a certain club in Lon don and the fifth time he got knocked out. The referee went over to him and stirred him with his foot and said: Get ID. wOt's the matter wit yeI You ain't out
 But the little fellow was out and fhey carried him to his corner. Then the referee says, 'Wot did re quit for. ye pupT
 ~'Gawd bIr me. 1Ir Dorsn.' says the kid. with one ere closed. -wOt dyer want for per five shillln'sT
 That's the way the sporting bust ness is being run over there There's nothing in it- and I'm glad to be out Of ft- The Germans and the Isps have ruined wrestling Ia London They're ringing In su kinds of jiu-jitsn and ether styles and any kind of rules 70

 The most promising thing about the new wonder is that Billy Delaney has taken him in charge. Delaney knows bis business. He has trained and han dled two meu in his time-JIm Corbett and Jim Jedries.

He is the amateur heavyweight champion Of the Pacific coast That alone Is not e dazzling achievement for fight con nolsseurs remember that Jack Munros held that title for years before Jeffries blew out his light with one puff: also that Sam Berger, a magnificent big creature of 192 pounds. held it last yesr until little 156 pound Bln Roden- baeh of New York beat him with one hand.

OLD LEM MAGE.

There is an effort being made at the present time by an enterprising vaude- Vile manager to have the old time prize ring champion of the world, Jem Mace, come to this country and fill a season's engagement with a first class road show.
 Mace, who recently returned to England from South Africa, is playing the London music halls. giving boxing exhibitions and demonstrating many of the old time tricks of the London prize ring style of milling.
 It is conceded by all prize ring au- tiSorities that Jem Mace was the greatest bare knuckle pugilist that ever pulled of a shirt fin prize ring In England or elsewhere. He is now 70 years of age. and is hale and hearty.
 If suitable terms can be made with the old veteran he will be seen in this country some time in the early part of December.

PRErTY TOuGH LUCK.

Buffalo, \. Y. Oct. 2T-Gus Gard ner had all the best of the fight with Mike Donovan for seven rounds when suddenly he went blind. Dr Guess was called to examine him and he an- nounced that Gardner was temporarily blind from jamie poison, caused by tea drinking He said Gardner would recover his sight in an hour or two. Gardner wept like a child and begged for another chance at Donovan. He almost had the latter out in the fifth round but the bell prevented him from landing a finishing blow. The fight was awarded to Donovan.

Draper was declared ineligible to represent the Red and Blue on the gridiron this fall The mystery thrown around the af- fair. the audiences of 1t all. and the fact that 1t robs an already impOver- ished eleven of a star player, have caused this case to stand out very prominently.
 There are several new phases to the story that were not Obtainable Wed nesday.
 First-Harvard made no protest. and the Cambridge institution does not fg- ure in the case at all.
 Second-There were no charges pre- ferred against him.
 Third-Action was taken because Mr Draper frankly admitted thas while a student at Swarthmore he received tuition and board free.

 Down around the field house the opinion is growing that Princeton has this year the fastest team that She has had in six years. This view Of the situation coming from persons on the inside of the football situation, raises the hopes of the student body considerably for the contest With Yale.

There. is new heavyweight pugilist in San Francisco who seems to be we'll worth watching. His name is Al Kaufman, and he won his first pro- fessional battle in San Francisco, re- gently in such beautiful and finished form that California critics are prais- ing him to the skies.
 Even with due allowance for the en- thusiasm that bubbles and gushes over every performance of a native son" !" 'ahe cold record of fact sR6&s that Kaufman fought like veteran. There Is fair ground for hope that he will keep such men as Bob Fitzsimmons, Gus Ruhlin, Marvin Hart and George

NO SECRET PRACTICE.

New Haven, Oct 27-There was no secret practice at Yale field yesterday afternoon. The varsity and scrubs lined up for half an hour in one fierce scrimmage that was interesting to the spectators. At the finish the scrubs were given several opportunities to try to force the varsity line when but five yards away from the goal line, but every attempt was foiled by the regu- lars. The varsity had some difficulty with the scrubs when the regulars had the ball. and although able to gain they went rather slowly and the scrubs resisted with considerable strength.s

 ''Bally rot" said Jenkins, who every now and then unconsciously lapses into an Englishman. There's nothing in it and it's not popular over there.
