HOLY CROSS QUITS.

Worcester. Feb 25.-Owing to the lack of interest in basketball among the people here. Manager O'Neil of the Holy Cross basketball team has can celled the game scheduled with Trinity for tonight here. The basketball au thorities exerted every effort to make the game stay here this year and hired Mechanics hall in the center of the city. secured the best college teams in the country for attractions and put a team on the floor which is one of the best that ever represented Holy Cross, and has won every game played to date with the exception of the Williams col. lege game. When Manager O'Neil saw that the schedule was being carried through on losing financial basis. he transferred the games to the college 2, mnasium, but the attendance here was even smaller than in the city. ow. ing 10 the distance of the gym. With such odds against him. Manager O'Seil decided to call the Trinity game off. rather than draw any further from the athletic association treasury. The lack of interest here on the part of the public in basketball seems 10 indicate that the game is doomed here for this year at least.

DISPUTE IS SETTLED.

Milwaukee, Wis, Feb 25.--It is prac- tically settled now that New York bowlers will go into the fold of the American Bowling congress, after a separation of foVr years. The execu. tive committee deliberated yesterday on the points set forth by Charles Eb- betts Thursday, and everything was agreeable. except the argument as to the loading of the ball. Practically all points were agreed to, and there is no doubt now that New York will join hands with the X. B. c.
 The X. B. c. agreed to have the gut ters square at all journeys, and also to let the New York bowlers control their international affairs.
 Charles Ebbetts has notified the com. mittee that New York will make bid for the 1907 tournament, and he asks that the bowlers work with that end in view. In case of New York getting the 1907 tournament 1t will be held in Madison Square Garden.
 The congress reconsidered the vote giving the next tourney to Philadel, hpia and sent 1t to Louisville instead.

ABE ATTELL
 BEAT HANLON
Too. Clever For the Chap M ho mas Tried Them al. -kelson Mill hacA him. seli-~ ther News.

Philadelphia, Feb 25-Abe Attell's wonderful cieverness as q boxer en- abled hlm to outpoint Eddie Hanlon in six round bout at Industrial hall last night
 Both fighters are from California. Attell is boxer. and as such in class almost by himself. Hanlou is a fighter, a rushing, aggressive lad, who is will ing to exchange punch for punch, and who never seems bothered by hard blows
 The boxer had by far the better of the battle last night, for he jabbed his left into Hanlon's face 80 often that the latter half the time was stopped before he could get his ruch started.
 While the boys fought almost toe to toe during every round. Attell's quick ness enabled him to land the most blows. Hanlon's punches though. had steam behind them. and he was clever in blocking Abe's lead. as Attell was in getting out of the road of Hanlon's swings and hooks.
 In every round after the first Hanlon managed to get close to Attell and at these times Eddie gave a splendid ac- count Of himself
 On several occasions Hanlon's l,odv punches were so forceful that Attell resorted to clinching tactics.
 These were the only slow moments of the bout. hut Attelrs tactics served to incense Eddie and caused him to rush hard 'c "'s eo--n--nss tn land a knockout punch. At the fin'sr Ions face was rcd from the numerous lefts he had stonDed. and Attell's body will doubtless be sore from some of Eddie's punches.

DANNY HAHER LEAVES

Danny Maher. the jockey. will sail for England on the Campania to-day. He will in all probability ride some of the horses that are the property of King Edward VII. His regular em- plOyer will be Sir John Miller. but as Blackwell. who trains for the latter, also trains for the Kings horses. it is likely that he will be asked to pilot some of the thoroughbreds that are owned by the king.
 Maher is the most ponular American rider who ever went abroad. This Is his fourth season: and he Is held in hiober regard to-day than when he first sten~pd foot on Newmarket Tpnth.

COLLEGE BOAT RACE.

New London, Feb 25.--Surveyors, working under the direction of John Kennedy. coach of the Yale crews. and officials of the Yale boat club, have marked out on the ice the course for the Yale-Harvard boat race next June. This novel method of mapping out a course by marking the frozen surface has proven an easy method and a minutefy accurate one.
 Usually the measurements and direc- tions of the course have been fixed by shore observations, but this time the points of reference were established as easily as laying C" ~se on land. The flags and stakes mal ding the course can readily be placed when the crews begin work on the river, three months hence.

WRESTLING.
GOTCH IS
 THE CHAMPION
He Downed Jim parr twice In Less Than Fifty Hin. utes-Jenkins and Parr Will Next Meet.

Frank Gotch proved his title to the worlds championship as catch-as. catch-can wrestler last night by throw. .nE Jim Parr, the champion of Eng. land twice in 46 minutes and 37 sec oncs. at eulzer's Harlem River Casino. The 5DE; was for $1,OOO a side. Gotch's sreed and strength were rev e,ancn. he was all over Parr from the moment they clinched, and through both bouts he had the Englishman constantly on the defensive.
 The men wore equally matched ih weight and strength, but Gotch was altogether too nimble for his opponent farr wriggled like an eel out of sev- cral dangerous places, but Gotch was all over him. no matter how he ex- tricated himself.
 Finally Gotch got a bar hold, and slowly but resolutely forced Parr's shoulders to the mat The first fall was gained after 26 minutes and 5S seconds of wrestling.
 After ten minutes rest they went at 1t again. Gotch whirled Parr around his shoulders and stood him on his head and with crotch hold forced him down after 19 minutes and 21 sec onds wrestling.
 : George Bothner officiated as referee. aud had an easy task, as. the work of both men was clean. ----.-.--. ---
 Before the match Tom Sharkey mounted the stage and challenged Gotch to either wrestle or box him.
 If win this match I'll have some. ting to say to Mir Sharkey," said Gotch as he sat down amid cheers. When the match was won Gotch made neat speech. "Ive had a taste of the fighting game" he said. q re member wEeu I was in the Klondike l vas induced to fight Frank Slavin. If counted right, he led 300 times in a six-round go and every blow landed. l May.have learned something more or boxing since then. but just now l am doing pretty well at the wrestling game. When there are no more wreslers left may be induced to take on few fighters. gh
 If do will certainly not overlook Mir sharkey."
 Tom Jenkins of Cleveland then chal. lenged GOtch, but Parr interposed and said Jenkins could have an easier cliance, as he was willing to give him go. And the match was made.

South Bend, Ind, Feb 25-John Gan gel, first baseman or the New York American League team, will, in all likelihood, become magnate within the next few days. I Mautner, half owner of the Grand Rapids club. has agreed to terms with the Highlander for the sale of the franchise. and the deal is likely to go through. The club is good monev-maker. but it Is for the benefit of the league. Mautner says that he is to sell to Ganzel, because the latter is p"nular and has a good reputation at Grand Rapids.

A GAME OF WRANGLES.

In game that was almost a farce, Columbia university defeated Prince ton at basketball last night by tine score of 32 to 19. The game was played at the Columbia gymnasium before a fairly large gathering of spectators. The main features of the contest were wrangling and rough playing. In the first period of play the Princeton team left the court, re1using to continue un less the New Workers adhered to the rules of the game. The controversy arose over basket thrown by Left Forward Fisher of the Columbia five Princeton's captain maintained that the point was gained by unfair tactics. After nearly fifteen minutes of argn ment the umpire decided in favor of Columbia, and the New Jersey players returned to the game. but still protest ing. From that time until the close of the struggle bad blood was mani. fested on both sides.
