FIGHTER WHITE ARRIVES.
English Lightweight Champion Reach
ed New York Yesterday.

Jabez White, the best lightweight pugilist
in England, is in New York city, prepared
to make match with Jimmy" Britt, the
premier American 133-pound boxer, for the
lightweight championship of the world.
White arrived in New York yesterday on
the White Star liner Cedric. He was ac-
companied by Charlie" Mitchell, a former
champion pugilist of England
White looked somewhat pale as he
walked down the. gangplank from the
steamship, and he explained that his ap-
pearance was due to the rough voyage He
was i'll for six days.
Mitchell will act as Whites adviser In
this country. White, according to Mitchell.
Is remarkably clever fighter, who can hit
effectively with either hand. White stands
feet ~ inches. is remarkably well built.
has long reach and keen blue eyes. He
had little to say except that his purpose in
coming here was to arrange a match with
Jimmy" Britt. and win or lose he will re-
turn to England He expects to fight Britt
in California in the latter part of April.
In discussing the probable outcome of
the battle, Mitchell said that White has
good chance to defeat the American.
White is prepared to fight Britt" Mitchell
continued, lat the lightweight limit of 1913
pounds, and have no doubt that the pre-
liminary details of the contest will be sat-
isfactorily arranged within the next few
days. White has been fighting for more
than ten years and in that period he has

is the best fighter in England today, and
although I think his chances for beating
Britt are excellent, would not allow him
to give Britt one pound, because believe
that American fighters are second to none
as matchmakers."
AS American sporting men recognize
Mitchell as an authority on pugilism, they
will undoubtedly in consequence of this
opinion take more than usual interest in
the coming meeting between the English
and American lightweight champions.

COLLEGE SPORTS PROFITABLE.
big Four" Athletes Cleared STA, 900
Last Season.

The handling of university athletic
finances has come to be one of the most
important features of intercollegiate life
today. The immense receipts from col
lege foot ball. base ball and other games
makes the management of these receipts
and the necessary expenditures a big
business which requires much execu-
tive ability as many a big business con-
Germ in Wall street. Harvard, Yale and
the University of Pennsylvania are the
only universities of the first rank which
make a public statement of their athletic
finances. For the firsttime in it's his
tory, Princeton this winter made a state
ment of it's base ball and track finances,
but no mention of foot ball was made. Cor
nell and Columbia have not issued any
statement at all The combined annual re-
ceipts from Harvard. Yale. Penn and
Princeton for the last year amounted to
$306, 63i. Computing Princetons foot ball
receipts on the basis of those of Yale,
Harvard and Penn, the Tigers must have
received S67 400 from foot ball. This would
make total for receipts among the big
Four" $S74.040. and If figures were OBJ
tainable from Cornell and Columbia, the
total would probably reach half a million
dollars

Base Ball Notes.

Good horses alone will not monopolize the
interest of racegoers when the eastern
racing season opens at Benning Thursday
afternoon Good riders enter quite as much
into the equation with those who want truly
run races as well as those speculatively 1T
clined In keeping. therefore with the bet
ter class of thoroughbreds that will face
the barrier, 1t naturally follows that the
very best of Jockeys will be here. A GOOD
beginning will mean much to the wearers
of the silks in what promises to be sea-
son of keen competition.
Among the established favorites Arthur

Shaw and little Crimmins, the former the

the rough-a nd-ready lad under Archie Zin-
mer both of whom did fine work in the
saddle last fall. Frank ONell, Newton
Bennington's crack rider and who also
sports the Drake colors. will take regular
mounts during the meet.
During the progress of the sport local
critics will also have opportunity to fol m
opinions of McDaniels. who has been doing
sensational saddle work at Los Angeles and
who will probably be the leading rider or
the Keene stable this year. With McDan-
iels will come Jockey Davis. who is UNI

his work on the coast say that through re-
turn to good habits he has regained all his
old-time dash.
In the event that Joe Yeager's horses are
shipped east early IN April 1t is also likely
that Hildebrand will be seen at BenninS.
Not only was Hildebrand the leading jock
ey of 1904 but his ride of Artful in the Flu
turiy is generally rated as the MASTER
piece of that season. All in all, the coming
meeting will have greatly added interest by
reason of attendance of good boys

NEW ORLEANS RACES.
Jockey Martin Loses on Several Fa-

Potomac Shad Arrive.

Shad, PotOmac-caught shad, were on sale
at the wholesale fish market on the wharf
this morning for the first time this season.
The fish came from the nets in the WI
comico river and are slowly making their
way up the river. About the LIST of April
the fish will have made their way up the
river, and win be caught in the nets below
Alexandria.
The shad on sale this morning were fine
specimens of their kind, and sold at 80 to
45 cents for bucks and up to so cents each
for the roe fish. The fact that North Caro-
lima shad have been on the market for ten
days or longer keeps the price of the Po-
tomac variety down to a moderate figure.

DIR. Kerby of the Catholic Univer-

view that his position in the dis
cussion before the Contemporary Club
of Philadelphia has been misrepresented
in some of the press dispatches. Gaming
and not gambling was the subject of the
discussion, and he says his whole adj
dress was an emphatic protest on both
moral and social grounds against play
ing any form of game for money or
stakes of any sort whatever. He ap-
pealed to his hearers to aid in banishing
from every home all games played for
money or prizes, and he urged the or
ganization of the energies of church,
school and home against every form of
gaming for stakes.

REGULARS BEAT YANIGANs.
Washington Team Split UP for Good
Practice Came

Manager Stahl and his band of stalwarts
separated into the Regulars and "Yani-
gans" yesterday afternoon for a five-inning
game, box of cigars being hung up for the
side that finished ahead, and, of course, the
former did the trick, winning by the score
of to 2. The cigars were appreciated, as
the losers had to foot the bill, and Capt.
Hughes, who led the 'Yanigans," insists
that his bunch can down the other side
in full nine-inning game. The controversy
all ended in smoke, as the University of
Virginia boys will keep the professionals
busy for the rest of the week.
The two teams had just lined up for the
game yesterday and had played one inning
when heavy downpour of rain drove
everybody to shelter. The field became
muddy from the heavy wetting, but not
withstanding the handicap the two teams
fielded nicely.
Jacobsen did the twirling for the Regu-
lars. while Wolfe performed for the Yani-
gans, and their work can be considered
good, as but six hits were made by each
side. The Regulars got theirs in the first
two innings, assisted by Townsend's err
ror, which let in two runs. Catcher Knoll
who did nice work behind the bat, started
the ball rolling in the third inning for the
Yanigans with clean single. and scored
Immediately afterwards on Hughes long
triple. Jacobsen thought he had Long
Tom on his staff with wide curve, but
the ldtteF IestCHeu out, caught the Jail Ou
the end of the bat and, as one of the col
1ege boys remarked, 1T looked as though
the sphere would IF never come down."
Jacobsen had to stand considerable kid
ding from Hughes, and it was continued a
minute later when Kittredge soaked out
a single to right, scoring the elongated
twirler.
Both pitchers settled down after that
and neither side scored
