was formed for the express purpose Of
controlling the gate receipts which roll
into the Golfers along with the excite
ment that attends a meeting of noted
boxers. A tendency to quarrel among
themselves as to who shall be mogul Is
not adding to the success of the pro-
motors and in the meanwhile the Los
Angeles management is quietly afford
ing all the real excitement In ring
circles. Whatever the outcome of the
suuabble, which involves the Britt
family, AL Herford and Joe Cans, no
good will ensue and the odium which
must necessarily hover over Frisco
fstic events because of the allegations
which have been made will cause sus-
picion to rest on many of the bouts
which may be arranged in the future.
The Pacific Athletic club of Los An
geles, under the management of Tom
McCarey, has never been involved In a
proposition which appeared at all shady
and as a result the patrons of fair
sport in all parts of the country are
looking to Los Angeles as a boxing
center free from all faint of crooked
ness.
Marvin Says Good-6y
Marvin Hart left for Louisville last
night and the final word of the humbled
Kentuckian before leaving for the
blue grass regions was to the effect that
he had nothing but praise for the treat
ment accorded him in Los Angeles. II
expected to win and lost" said Hart.
ut was a bitter blow, but am not dis
couraged and expect TO commence all
over again after a rest. AS for Burns,
1 am willing for any proposition he
wishes to make. If he says winner
take all am on. have no complaint
to make concerning the decision. How
ever, look for me again." Despite the
taunts which have been handed the
Kentucky son for his showing the other
night there is at least a little sympathy
coming to the big fellow who returns
to face his brethren after meeting de-
feat at the hands of man whom he
did not hold as a possible stumbling
block to his ambition.
Jennings First in Command
Hughey Jennings, the sometime
famous baseball player, is now coach
ing the nine of Cornell university and
exists as sort of idol in the minds of
good Cornell students. Jennings was
forced to retire from professional ball
because his throwing arm went wrong,
and since that time has been teaching
the young Cornell ball idea how to
shoot. His methods are said TO be pro-
ductiye of the best results in the coun-
try and he puts his candidates through
a round of preparation which could
hardly fail of bringing forth the best
material in the university. Off the field
the coach is described as a polished
college graduate, looked up to in the
highest social circles of ithaca. Once in
uniform and the batting cage friendship
ceases to be virtue with Jennings and
he shows not the slightest favoritism
in wedding out the men whom he deems
as most fit to represent their alma
mater.
Sysonby Not Overweighted
When it is considered how much
weight was conceded by Roseben and
Reliable in handicap sprint races. con-
sentative turfmen are of the opinion
that too much has not been asked of
Sysonby in the Brighton handicap allot-
ments. Sysonby carried 126 pounds in
the Realization, the Iroquois and
Brighton derby last year, and simply
galloped to victory in each event. That
he is essentially a weight carrier and a
horse must be admitted by
turf critics who have seen him race.
If he cannot give four pounds and a
beating to Artful, on past perform
ances, then Sysonby is not entitled to
the unstinted praise which has been his
ever since he made his appearance last
season.
May Be Millionaire Champion
National tennis circles are agog over
the fact that Jay Gould, son of George
Gould, is showing surprising form at
court tennis and is regarded as a pos
Sible future candidate for the national
championship. The series will be held
at New York in March, and young
Gould is teamed to enter the doubles
with Joshua Crane, jr., three times a
former champion.
Fitzsimmons Lost Five Battles
During the course of his ring career
Bob Fitzsimmons lost five battles. The
first was to Jim Hall in four rounds,
whom he afterward whipped. He met
defeat before Jim Jeffries twice, and
finally Jack O'Brien rang down the
curtain of his career in the recent bout
at Frisco. The other contest which
Fitz lost was when Referee Wyatt
carp decided that he fouled Sharkey at
Frisco in 1896. The decision has been
branded as a colossal steal, but never
theless it goes as a fight lost for Bob.
Parsons Is With Big Ones
A year ago Charley Parsons was at
tracing notice in Southern California
by his phenomenal performances on the
cinder path and predictions were rife
that he would eventually become the
champion Splinter of the country. 1t
now appears as though the optimism
Which greeted his work in Los Angeles
while a member of the University of
Southern California track team was not
ill-placed The fast Angeleno is now
regarded as the most dangerous man on
the American cinder path at the pres
ent time. Walter Eckersall the famous
University of Chicago athlete who has
entered the track world, will appear at
the St. Louis indoor meet to be held
March II under the auspices of the ST.
Louis university and will probably be
matched in a special fifty-yard dash
with Parsons or Archie Hahn of Chi
cago.
Mccoy Is Wicked Opponent
OF all the men who have gained
pugiistic prominence Kid Mccoy at
tanned the reputation of being the
cruellest exponent of the Queensbury
art. With his sneering lips he has
tainted men into a rage which left
them practically at his mercy, and it
was only a matter Of tinoa ,ryba,, I,is
