BILLY MADDEN KICKS.

William Madden, the veteran box ing manager, says that a champion if he decides to retire, has no right under ring rules to hand over his title to another man of his own selection. 'Jef'ries has right to get out of the game,' said Madden yesterday, but he is assuming too much when he de- clares that Hart is champion. The title is in dispute now, and until Hart, OBrien and Ruhlin have fought for it there can be no definite decision. Ruhlin, under the rules, is entitled to be called champion, for the reason that he put his money up some time ago after Jeffries retired, and offered to meet any man in the world for the championship. His fight with McCor- mick on the coast was for the title and was so stipulated in the articles or agreement. Ruhlin. is ready to fight O'Brien or Hart now. winner take all or under any terms that eitlI- CT of these men cares to name. but they will not meet him. O'Brien prom- ised Ruhlin some time ago that he would consent to match but that was all there was to it. Madden is
 now a full fiedged politician over in
 Brooklyn. He was one of Bird Coler's
 henchmen during the recent campaign.

JOLT FOR COLLEGES.

President Harry Pulliam of the Ma. uonal baseball league has forced the college baseball managers and athletic heads into a position in which squab. bling will be difficult to avoid. Here after colleges must select their own baseball umpiFes.
 For many years it has been the GUS tom of the head of the National league to pick the official for the important college contests. In New England where the rivalry is keen between the colleges. the favor has been one of great value as a preserver of peace. It stalled of disputes and the fairness Of the moves was never questioned.
 Two New England colleges are re. sponsible for the edict. Last season Mlah Murray. a veteran official, was sent to q field. but when he appeared the rival managers got together and decided that he wasn't acceptable. NIT Pulliam heard of the incident and con. sidered it an injustice. His stand at the present time will put the baseball managers into position similar to that during the football season when pick ing officials Is long and wearying task for the leaders.

AT sHARKEY CLUB.

New York, Dec 30.-Sammy Camp bell, negro belonging to the colored branch of the Sharkey A. C.. and Harry Jones. another member. put up the most laughable bout of the even ing at the stag of that club last night. Sailor Burke and Mickey McDonough were scheduled to perform in the fea- ture event, but McDonough did not show up, and three other bouts were put on in place of the go. Campbell is a new one. He is seven feet high and has q reach that stretched clear across the ring. Jones tried hard to hit him. and was successful when they came to clinch, but when the fighters were free Campbell would walk over into one corner. turn quickly and jab his left over into Jones's face. At the end honors were about even Eddie Wal lace gave away ten pounds to Dave Ginger. and then beat the latter to a standstill, the last round being short ened to save him.
 Mike Sullivan put 1t all over young Shay in their encounter. and Frankie Howe bested Larry McGrath Jack Roller and Black Griffa fought fast draw, and Harry Engel bested Jimmy Moran, though he could not hurt the latter. In the opening bout young Lenny beat young Slsny. and George Conley had the better of Kid Hill ir their go. Tom Sharkey and George Gardner will box an exhibition at the special stag on New Years night.

THE SPORTING NEWS.
THE DIAMOND
STRUCK FIRST SNAG
Manager Durant Offered One Thousand Dollars For Lauder
 But He Has Retired.

Manager Harry Durant has run up against his first snag in signing play CTS by getting severe blow to his hopes to have National league play CT captain his team. A few days ago it was announced that the local man agement was after a well known Ma tional league player 10 captain the new Waterbury team. That announce n1ent was true, but the deal as far as this particular player is concerned is all off. The man that was being sought is Billy Lauder. at present a member of the New York Nationals. Lauder will be remembered by many of the Waterbury fans when he play ed here years ago. Ir was Harry Du- rant that brought him out at that time and he promised a bright future for the then young and clever player. That promise has been fulfilled, for while Lauder has not played in two years he has been connected with the game in other ways. Lauder could get into active work for the New York Nationals at any time he wanted, but he preferred for the past two years to keep out of professional baseball and devote himself to business and incl dentally to coaching.
 But the story of how Manager Du- rant tried to get Billy Lauder is inter- esting. Application was made to Manager McGraw of the New York Nationals for the services of Lauder for the Waterbury team. Back came the answer that Lauder was too valu- able a man to release outright, but if he preferred to play in smaller league as captain his services could be obtained for price. The local management offered the New York magnate $7J0 for Lauder's release out right The New York management asked for $1,0O0. After some delay the local management agreed to the price and the deal would have been con- summated but for Lauder himself He wrote Manager Durant that he was sorry to disappoint him. but he did not intend to play professional ball again. He had q very valuable position with thN ANbh lOlh Co and he was also the coach for the Columbia baseball team This was the "blow that killed father bur Manager Durant at once started lines for another big league player of abil- ity to take charge of the team.
 The Sporting Life devotes consider able space to the Waterbury team, grounds and management and the whole article was very complimentary. The public is still in doubt as to inst where the grounds are seeiagSto bel Io-s cated. but if the people want to know Tor a certainty they can do so by talk ing the trolley out east and asking the conductor to stop them at the Nor. throp farm. That is where Waterbury will see professional baseball again unless another hitch comes in the ar. engagements for the purchase of the farm.
