THE PUGlLlSTS
POOR TERRY
 GROWING WORSE
Keepers Are Watching Him Care fully Hi. Wife Tells About
 Him.

There is little chance now of Terry McGoyern ever being seen in the prize ring again.
 Yesterday his condition was even worse than It was when he was taken to the Kings County hospital Tues day, and he is being closely guarded by three husky keepers, while Dr Charles Mosely, who is in charge, would not discuss the chance of his patient recovering his mental facuI- ties.
 McGovern woke up insisting he had won $27 900 on a horserace and demanding to be released in order that he might go to collect the money from men who intended to swindle him out of it. Yesterday afternoon three keepers had escorted him as he took walk in the corridor. He made no demonstrations then, but they feared in his inflamed nervous condition, to let him out for exercise in the morning.
 Dr Charles Mosely, who has charge of the prizefghter's case, said:
 'The patient, McGovern, is in a highly irritated state. If anything, his prospects are not as favorable as they were at the time of his ar rest. Until I have made my official report l cannot discuss his chances for recovering his mind" Mrs McGovern planes the present condition of her husband to dissipa- tion that aggravates an injury he received in the ring.
 In his fight with Young Corbct. at Hartford. Conn.," she said, Terry got hard lick on the head, and he's never been quite the same since.
 But about three months ago he quit drinking ale and went to drink ing wine. He has been getting worse and worse ever since. He couldn't t sleep, and so he used the wine to keep him up. Lately he took up with Willie Geegy, young boy who knew how to write shorthand, and carried Willie about with him every where. Every time he said anything he would tell Willie to put it down. That was his private secretary
 When he went to Washington for the races he took Willie with him. He bought great quantities of wine there, and drinking and lack of sleep unsettled him more than ever. 'lt is not true he is broke. He has made in the. ring and on the stage in the past nine years about $125,00O. invested some of his savings in real estate, and to-day we have property worth at least ESQ., 900. l am sure Terry will get over this.
 ''As soon as l can expect to take him South, where he can get away from racing and wine drinking, and where he can watch the early prac- tice of the big baseball teams. He always had an ambition to become baseball player when he left the ring. am sure he will get entirely we'll then if tender care will help"
 Dozens of men prominent in sport ing circles and politics have called at the McGovern home to express sym pathy.

WRESTLING PONS WANTS TO
 MEET TERRELL They Would Be Better Matched in Weight Wrestling Over
 in Danbury.

Hartford, Dec 6.-Hjalmar Lun. din returned yesterday from Spring field, where he saw John Perelli, the Italian champion, down Jim Barnes two falls out of three. He said Pe- relli was too strong and heavy for Barnes. Lundin said he did not care to wrestle the Springfield man as there would be no honor in defeat- ing such a small-sized man. Carl Pons, the French wrestler, who is now making his headquarters in this city, challenged Perelli to meet him either in Springfield or Holyoke. Pons and Perelli ought to make a good match as they are about the same weight. An Irish champion was brought forward at the Spring field ringside in John McGrath of Worcester He is husky looking grappler and is about Perelli's weight. One would think that Bill Crowley's find, Jack Curran, was a college oarsman by the way he is developing boils He had one on his face at the entertainment and all though he wanted to appear in one of the preliminaries, Bill wouldn't let him go on.

FOR SUNDAY BALL.

With the change in the adminlstra- tion of affairs in the borough of West Haven, those who are interested in the success of the old time movement for Sunday baseball at Savin Rock. have taken new courage and will attempt to secure from the borough officers permission for exhibitions of the na- tional game at the Savin Rock grounds during the coming summer. A concession by the new authorities of this privilege would immensely please the 4,000 or more baseball fans of New Haven and they and the promot- CTS of the new movement, hope that the effort to secure Sunday ball will be success.

THE aRrDIRoN.
Cornell's President Loud in Praise of
 Game.

ITHACA, N. Y., Dec. 6.-Speaking at Cornell celebration last night, Presi- dent Schurman said that he believed that Cornell university had solved the problem of physical training and ath- letics for students.
 For the first two years of the course, whether academic, technical or pro
 fessional, all incoming students are re- quired to take regular physical train ing, which consists of drill during the first year under an officer of the Unit ed States army and gymnastics or ath- letics during the second year unless the student prefers to continue drill. Within certain limits the student is permitted to take his gymnastics or athletics in the form which is most at tractiye to him, so that while hundreds of Cornell students will be found any day going through gymnastic exer- cises other hundreds will also be found engaged in outdoor recreation, sports and games, among which, of course, rowing. track, football, lacrosse, ten his and golf are included, not to men
 ton skating and tobogganing in win ter.
 The object is to insure participa- ton in physical exercises or sports on the part of all students rather than
 by small number who may be quail
 flying for the intercollegiate teams. And as result of tliis policy and prac-
 tice intercollegiate athletics takes its
 place as a natural and interesting,
 even though sometimes exciting, fea-
 ture in the recreations, sports and
 physical culture of the student body
 of Cornell.
 But while primarily and profoundly
 interested in the physical training of
 all the students, President Schurman showed his interest in the achieve ments of the intercollegiate crews and teams. He noted with satisfaction that of the four major sports Cornell held the championship in crew and track. while 1t also held high place in baseball and football He con-
 graduated friends of football on the good effect which the new rules had achieved. Speaking for himself, he said he found the game vastly more interesting than before But still more important was the fact that the new rules had eliminated brutality and greatly reduced the "hanees of injury.
 "It is the unanimous opinion" said the president, that this year the game has vindicated itself. The meanness has passed out of it. The only criticism of the game this year is that at times the officials have not acted promptly enough. They often have failed to enforce the rules promptly. With this corrected, foot ball will be one of the finest games that the young men of our colleges can take up.
 Speaking of intercollegiate ath- letics, he said that he wished that President Eliot would come to Cor nell.
 We have foud the true solution of the physical development of the students. Intercollegiate athletics are but an important incident of our general system. If you are going to do anything at all I want to see you do it we'll. And I want to see you get your share of the victories"
 He closed by assuring Coach Courtney that the heart of Cornell pulsed with warm, generous appre- citation for him.

BASKETBALL.
Crosby Bovs Have Fun With West
 Hartford.

It was altogether too easy. that basketball game last night between the Crosby High team and so-called team from the West Hartford High school. Basket after basket was scored by the local players. while all the visitors managed to scoop in was three points. The Crosby boys played the game we'll and worked together beautifully. If they play in the fu- ture contests as they did last night they ought to come pretty near being at the top of the heap when the sea- son ends. It was great sport for the spectators last night to see the locals pile up the points and when they had reached the seventy-five mark they called a halt. If they had tried they might easily have passed the century figure. The lineup and summary:
 Crosby-C. Larkin tcaptainp. for ward: Calender. Tracy. forward; R. Morse. center; w. Beerbaum. guard :: J. Blacker. guard West Hartford Johnson. forward: E. Dissell tcap- tainp. forward. Day. center: Brown. guard: ]. DisselI. Livingston. guard.
