KELLY AFTER ROACH.

John F.. Kelly does not intend to re main idle now that he has come back to form and hc is going after all those chaps who hurled challenges at him when he was not in condition to meet them. He is red hot after Jack Roach and in order to show that he means business he issues the following chal- leDge 10 the other local wrestler: He will agree to throw Jack Roach two falls fin one hour for any amount of money and the sooner the challenge rs accepted the better hc will like it. He says that after he finishes Roach, for he is certain he will finish him. hc will tackle some of the others who held him in contempt while he was out of form. He wants his old title and he Is going to work up the line to get it.

bL0tAlrG sHOOi kOh HE GOAL. has survived it's pinafore days. each year rendering its position more se- cure, The best physical trainers agree that basket bah offers one of the most effective methods of training for sum- mer sports, where ordinary calisthenics and gymnasium work become monoto- nous and some form of severe exercise is necessary to keep the athlete in fit condition.
 The play has had tendency to grow rough among the best eastern players during the last few years. and there has been a general demand among spectators and players for more strin- gent rules that would prevent rough play.
 Tn basket ball the field is so small and the play Is so fast that it is diff, cult to prevent roughness, but the ref erees are almost unanimous in their effort to penaIize most severely the first offenders in this respect. Free throws for the basket are given the op- ponents for foul tackling. and players are disqualified for deliberate fouls and rough play.
 The rules furnish plenty of opportu- nity for clever play without resort 10. physical contact. and the most brilliant players are those who dodge the oppo- nents and evade their blocking by trickery rather than those who push the opponents out of the ray and force the ball past them
 Marcus Hurley. one of the stars Of last seasons champion eastern college team. is one of the fastest bicycle rid CTS in the country. and the fact that he finds basket ball the best form If win ter training is high recommendation for the game.
 Basket ball is undoubtedly one Of the most strenuous cf all games. When

THE PUGlLIST
HIS LAST CHANCE
Young Corbett Goes Down to lgno- minious Defeat Before Her.
 rera- More Fight News

LOS ANGELES. Cal. Jan. 13.-Au- relic Herrera of Bakersfield. Cal, last night knocked ont Young Corbett of Denver in the fifth round of fight at the Pacific Athletic club pavilion. Her rera's victory was an easy one, and Corbetr's exhibition was very disap- pointing. He lacked the vim and dash that had won So many battles for him, and his once forcefuI blows failed to infiict any damage on the well condi- tioned body Of his opponent.
 The fight came near ending in the first round. In the last minute of this round Herrera caught Corbett on the jaw with left and right in quick sue cession and sent him staggering against the ropes. bat overanxiety to land inc finishing blow caused him 10 swing wildly. and Corbett quickly gathered his wits and stalled of de- feat.
 In the fourth round Corbett showed brief squirt of good form. forcing Her rera against the ropes and landing with both hands
 Early in the fifth round Herrera started in countering solidly with his right on Corbett's jaw. and the Den yer boy staggered. Quick as q flash the Californian was on him. and with T series of rights and lefts sent him to the floor. CoTbett got lip immedi ately, but again went down from a right swing that caught him on the side Of the head He struggled to his feet at the count of six and tried to clinch. Herrera pushed him against the ropes and. setting himself. swung q vicious right to the jaw. Corbett fell upon his face and lay in that posi- ton until he was counted out. He was carried 10 his corner, and it re quired five minutes work by his sec onds 10 revive him.
 There was much betting on the fight. At first the odds were 1o to 2 in Cor bett's favor. but the berting switched to even money, and at the ringside there was no Corbett money ;n sight at 10 to g. with Herrera favorite.

When Charley Mitchell arrives iE this country il is possible that thc old yarn will be revived that he and John L. Sullivan will meet again in the ring. When Mitchell was here last he al- lowed the story to be spread broadcast. and Sullivan promptly confirmed fl. But if these old champions should ac- tually try to put up their hands in the ring they couldn't draw flies. It is not stretching the point to say that any of the husky young fighters HOW ap- pearing in local bouts could srop either MSchcll or Sullivan with a good punch on the jaw.

Just why th- National league insists upon such an early opening is not clear.io d,as.ss hali fans. unless it is due to the fact tha. the magnates want to gather the shek- els as soon as possible. even though the players and fans suffer from the cratic weather.

HARTMAN DEAL
STILL PENDING
Plan to Acquire B. & O. For
Pacific Line Likely to
Succeed.

NEW YORK. Sept 1s.-Apropos Of
the morning report that f. II. Harri-
man and bis Union Pacific interests had
quietly bought up the control of the
Baltimore and Ohio and would hasten
to complete an ocean TO ocean line, us
ing the Chicago and Alton to connect
the Eastern Union Pacific terminals
with the Western extremes OF the Balu-
more and Ohio lines. Kuhn. Loeb q co.
today gave out a statement TO the effect
that the announcement was premature.
Kuhn, Loeb & Co., who hold some $40
OO00O0 OF Baltimore and Ohio stock
which Hartman needs 10 secure the
control, today admitted the sale is being
negotiated upon. but deny that the deal
has vet been egeCted.
The general belief IN the street is that
Hartman. II he has not already done so,
will secure the stock he desires without
further trouble.
