RICHARD IS A JOKER.

New York, Dec 22.-Is Tex Rick ard practical joker? The Goldfield fight promoter, who made an alleged signed statement here the other day to the effect that he would offer a S50,OOO purse for a fight between James J. Jeffries and Jack Johnson, declared in Chicago yesterday that he had never made such proposition; that Johnson would not prove draw ing card and that he would not hang up any kind of purse for Jeffries to meet the winner of the proposed O'Brien-Burns fight. Probably the definite statement from Jeffries that he would under no circumstances make match with Johnson has had something to do with Richards back down. Meanwhile another Nevada promoter has come out with an al- legged offer of $50,000 for a battle between Jeffries and Bill Squires, the Australian heavyweight champion, who is said to be on his way to this country. Little is known of Squires here except the fact that Philadelphia Jack O'Brien once refused to tackle him in spite of a $10.000 guarantee. OBrien fully intended to visit Aus tralia with the intention of taking Squires on. but at the last moment he changed his mind. possibly be- cause he had learned something re- lating to the prowess of the Anti pOdean.

If the Tri-state Get. Protection Some Ball Playsrs VIII H,ve
 to Retire.

F If the Tri.stats league receives protection from. the National con- mission many major league players who jumped their contracts to play with tho outlaws" will be in a state or worrlment as to their futures. Among them are James Sebring, Har- " Wolverton, Harry Gleason, Ton Delehanty, Jack Bressler, Lew Witse, Mike O'Neill, George Starnagle, Red Owens, John Doescher and others who forsook the big leagues for more lib- eral salaries offered by Tri-State clubs. Three years of high priced baseball in the outlaw circuit has caused the packers of the various clubs to suffer from cold feet. If they receive recognition, under the protecting wing of organized baseball, they are sure to cut down salaries to man. This means that if the iump- CTS are allowed to remain with them there will be reduction in pay, while in the vent of the rebels being -e- turned to their original employers they will have to contend with similar conditions. It has ever been thus with ball players who have Jumped contract They have always receiv- cd the worst of it in the long run, be- cause of the inevitable weakening of the men who were sufficiently short sighted to buck up against the system,

 was to have been a six round bout at the Now Polo A. c. in Harlem last night. The light was fast from bell to bell, but Meyers always had a lead. and in the fourth round, after he had ioored his opponent three times. the referee stopped the bout.
 Jack DOran was scheduled to meet Meyers, but at the last minute MT Doran decided that he did not care to fight, and Burdick was substi- tuted.
 A highly entertaining mill was the four round bout between Dick Miller and Rube Mccarthy, which Mccarthy won after g trying struggle.
 Paddy Doran and Jim Richards were the next pair to entertain the members. Richards did well unti' the third round, when he got in the way of one of Doran's punches and took the count.
 In the other bouts, Charley St Clair and Jean Galloway fought draw. Terry Edwards drew with Willie Shu- maker and Joe Wagner held his own with Owney Flynn.

THE SPORTING NEWS.

"a
 York" Mrs Kelley was willing, and that was how Joe managed to got to the meeting
 Joe Cantilion, the new manager of the Washingtons, was umpiring in the National league at the same time that Herman Long was manag ging the Boston club. One day drixzle set in, and as the Bostons were behiud, Long was anxious to have the game called. Again and again he called tile attention of Cantillon to the weather, but Joe ordered him to go on and play. Long kept on nagging, and finally, goaded beyond all endurance, Joe told Long to go back and play his game and that If he again approached him he would forfeit the game to the other side. Cantillon went on with the game and things progressed smoothly enough until 1t began to rain harder. Long at once rushed in front of Can tillon and said: Now you have got to call the game; now you have got to call it." And Cantillon said: "Ycs. and do-9 to o in favor of the other side."

BURNS AND O'BRIEN.

Burns and O'Brien are still waiting to hear from the Rhyolite A. c. be- fore signing articles. Incidentally 1t is asserted that Burns is in part nership with Manager McCarey of the Pacific A. c. of Los Angeles and that the latter. if he succeeds in forcing Rhyolite to boost the amount of the purse to $45,000, will relinquish the match so that he can get slice of the money which Burns expects to pocket by knocking O'Brien into cooked hat. But it is just possible that 0'Brien. who likes money, too. may take a hand in the game by re- fusing to fight at Rhyolite unless Burns and McCarey whack up with him. Abe Attell. who saw Burns put 1t all over O'Brien at Los Angeles re- gently, says that Burns cannot lose in a fight to a finish and expresses the belief that O'Brien will put up enough obstacles when 1t comes to signing articles to make it easy for him to avoid another encounter with the French-Canadian.
