John J. Ryan. noted for his connec-
ton with a ge~t-rich-quick concern, has
been ruled off the turf by Judge Fran
els Trevelyn for alleged welching in
the Latonia ring.
Because the color line is drawn so
tightly in this country, Jack johnson,
the colored champion, will go to Eug-
land, where fighters are not so par.
ticular. Johnson is one of the clever
est big men with his fists in America,
and should give a good account of him
self across the pond.
The winter hamme squad is busy
knocking the foul strike rule, but the
chances are that il will stand next sea-
son just the same as last. Chief Zim-
herman comes forward with a sugges-
tiOn that the fair territory be increas-
ed by moving the lies away from first
and third base. The bases would then
be wholly within fair ground. To this
proposition third basemen vehemently
protest. They maintain that they have
enough ground to i've as ii is, and
that an enlargement of their field
would add greatly to the difficult
work they now have to perform.
Young Corbett is going home to
Denver. He will undergo a long and
careful training in his mountain home
in hope of reducing weight and getting
back into something like his old time
form. The opinion prevails that Cor
bett has shot his bolt and that his
chances of ever regaining feather
weight honors have gone forever.
Jas. ]. Corbett is said TO ave been
offered a five year contract with
David Belasco. AS an actor man, the
ex-champion is there with the punch,
all right. Corbett has all the physical
attributes of the stage hero. He Is
tall, graceful, active, enthusiastic and
has a perfect love of a SMILE" Also
he is travelling on his merit as an
actor and not on his former reputa-
ton as a pugilist.
Jas. Edward Britt picks "Philadel-
phia Jack" O'Brien to conquer FftZ-
simmons in the coming bout between
these big fellows. The last winner
that Britt picked lost the fight in the
18th round.
The National Sporting Club of Lon
don is trying to arrange a match be-
tween Battling Nelson and JabeZ
White. Jimmy Britt defeated White
In San Francisco in 20 rounds several
months ago. He is long and rangy,
fights at ARMS length, and can stand
a fair amount of punishment.
Harvard will probably have to go
into the game with Pennsylvania to-
day minus an experienced fullback.
Carr injured his thigh in the game
with Brown and is no longer a posi-
bility. Paul broke his collar bOne in
the game with the Indians and Guild
Is laid up with a damaged thigh. Han
ley, the fullback on the second team,
will probably be pressed into service.
In the game between Columbia and
Yale, the sons of Eli made gains of
574 yards through the red and white
lines, in contrast to 81 yards gained
by the Columbians. On is kicks and
kick-offs from Columbia, Yale ran
back the ball ZIG yards, while Colum-
bia came back only "a yards on II
kicks.
"Tad" Jones, Yale's fast quarter
back, is laid up with a badly sprained
ankle. and may not be in condition for
either of the Princeton or Harvard
games.
Manager Nolan certainly has his
eye out for the coin. He is willing
10 match Nelson against McGOvern ia
fight six rounds in Philadelphia, but
thinks a purse Of $4,000 entirely toe
small for a limited round go.
Yale men charge Columbia players
with deliberate attempts to injurC
them in the game last Saturday The
New Haven players are very bite
over the treatment they received a.
the hands of the Morningside clever
and there is a possibility that YALE
may refuse TO play Columbia next sea
son.
Since "Ducky" Holmes has acquired
the managerial bee he doubts his
ability 10 keep in condition" for an
other season Of major league base
ball. Must expect a roar from Com
iskey when he puts in a request for
release.
Carl Green, manager of the Boston
Americans, quits the base ball game
