THE PUGlLISTS
COP CAN FIGHT
New York Policeman Who Think. He Could Whip O'Brien---Nel-
 son Signs Over Money.

New York, Jan 26-One of General Bingham's policemen wants to try con clusions with Philadelphia Jack Q'Brien in the prize ring. He is Will liam l. File recently q patrolman on the Broadway squad, and now detailed to what is known as the "beggars squad of Brooklyn police headquar- ters.
 File is % years old and six feet three inches tall. Although his weight is nearly 200 pounds he is as agile as a wildcat. He never drank drop of intoxicating liquor in his, life-never. For the last five years most of the athletic copper's spare time has been passed in gymnasiums. He has spared with most of the professional heavyweights. He has frequently put on the gloves with Corbett, Fitzsim~ mons and Sharkey. For time he was Corbetts favorite sparring part ner.
 File says that Sharkey and his rough and tumble game were the toughest propositions lie ever tackled.
 Of course, the regulations of the po- lice department prevent File from fighting in public for money. AL though he has never boxed with O'Brien he has seen the champion fight and has made close study of his methods. File feels confident that he could beat Jack on points in linn ited go and knock him out in fight to the finish.

NELSON AVOIDS CANS.

Following the example set by James Britt. Battling Nelson. through hls manager, William Nolan. nas side stepped the proposition tO meet Joe Cans for the lightweight champion ship. Nelson's manager says that the Danes reputation might Da injured if he mixed it up with the Baltimore pu- gilist. who in Nolan's estimation. is a faker. This is a novel excuse. as No Ian does not draw the color line, but says. on the contrary. that Nelson would meet any colored- man in the world. barring Cans. IL iias been, ser forth that if Cans should De compelled to defend the title of lightweight champion. he would have 10 scale I33 pounds ringside instead of at o'clock. but leaving these technicalities out of the controversy. the fact remains that Cans is the undefeated lightweight champion. and that neither Nelson lior Britt has a right to claim this honor without making match wit the man who recently won the welterweight title from Mike Sullivan in sIch clever style. .......

WREsTLEp IN HoLYokE.

Holyoke. Jan. 26-Bob Sommer- vile. champion featherweigbt wrestler of Scotland. and Mike Frank of Holy oke, wrestled here last night for one hour without either gaining a fall.
 The match was scheduled catch as catch can, best two out of three falls. the men to weigh under 135 pounds at ringside or forfeit $25. Frank was three pounds over weight and Son. merville refused to go on unless q handicap were given him or he would claim the forfeit. Frank then consent ed to throw him twice within an hour.
 Frank displayed some exceptional strength. which saved him on more than one occasion from being pinned to the mat. Sommerville showed great cleverness and experience which time and time again enabled him to clu,le the Holyoker when II, appeared that he was in bad position. The going was fast and furious all the time and kept the crowd keyed up to a high pitch of excitement.
 In the last two minutes Sommer- vile worked hard to get a fall, and had Frank in a bad hole with ham, merlock hold from which the home boy worked out of in splendid style.
 In the preliminary Edward Fleming and Arthur Hebert. both of Holyoke. wrestled for half an hour without q fall being gained.
 Challenges were received from Charles Lawson, Herbert Hartley and Arthur Cam.

THE DIAMOND
MOGULS ARE BUSY
Connecticut League Pilots Planning /. Their Cause For Coming Sea
 son--News of Interest.

When the baseball magnates of the Connecticut league gathered around the table at the Hotel Garde in New Haven yesterday afternoon the princi- pal business was selection of a super visor of umpires and charges made by the Holyoke directors against the for mer manager, Jesse NJ. Frysinger. A. F. Woodford of Hartford, who was d substitute umpire last season, has withdrawn his application for super visor. His business will take him out of the state at times next summer and he is out of the race. The most prom inent candidates are James w. Pyne, secretary of the Hartford Factory league, and John K. Kennedy, the for mer manager. Mir Pyne has not made a strenuous canvass for the position. but he has been assured of some votes, including that of Mir Clarkin W. J. Tracy is behind the Kennedy cam paign and MT O'Rourke's official or gan in Bridgeport has endorsed the Kennedy candidacy. Secretary James H. O'Rourke presented live items for discussion by the directors, as follows:
 1-Selection of a new chief of um- pires and a settlement of the details of the umpire question.
 1.-The appointment of schedule committee. the pairing of the teams for the holidays of the year. and the dates of beginning and finishing the playing season.
 T totr nf nrrhl nxT situation in New Haven and possibly radical action to dislodge c. J. Dana her. the owner of the New Haven fran chise.
 4-The report of Secretary oRourke on the annual meeting of the National Association of Baseball Clubs, at which he represented the Connecticut league.
 5-The jumping of Hoiyoke and oth ., CT players to the outlaw league in Pennsylvania.
 There has been some lively core spondence among the league managers about the best man to choose as chief of umpires. Several of the managers have suggested Billy Lush. the Yale coach, if he does not buy the New Ha- ven franchise. Some of his Yale friends do not wish him to play again and would prefer that he take such position as umpire chief.
 Indications now are that the sched. ule committee may be composed of O'Rourke. as chairman. Durant cS Waterbury. and the Holy0ke repre-. sentative. Hartford may get the place banned for Waterbury.
 As to the opening and closing dates the Massachusetis and Connecticut managers are at variance. The Mas sachusetts managers want t,s games to begin in time to eaten the crowds on Patriots day. the Connecticut teams would prefer not 10 play till af ter May 1. It is thought that the lat ter date scheme will prevail and that the Massachusetts hines will be asked to arrange exhibition games with the New England league and with college teams for late in April.
 1t is expected that President Jens J. Madsen will represent lie TIolyoke club at the meeting and he will charge that Frysinger is inducing baseball players to jump their contracts. It is expected that efforts will he made to blacklist the former Holyokc manager from organized baseball.

 Both boys mixed things in the final round. Willie worked hard right to the body. and Harry countered to the jaw. but the blows did not seem to hurt the New York boy. Toward the end of the round Harry Lewis landed several hard swings that nearly evened the score. Willie was the fresher at the end.
 The star bout at the Long Acre A. c. was scheduled to be three-round go between Joe Walcott and Dave Holly, but it proved to be fizzle. Walcott was fat an both seemed un- willing, and so after the members had watched the exhibition for two rounds the men were put out of the ring for not trying.
