CoRBETT AND MURPHY SIGN.
Two Little Pugilists Will Fight in
Philadelphia January 8.

NEW YORK, Dec. 17:-Young
Corbett and Tommy Murphy, with
their managers, met at the Hotel
Metropole yesterday and signs ar
ticles for a fight before the National
A. c., of Philadelphia, on January 8.
Jack McGuigan, of the National Club,
al also present, and several promi-
nent sporting men witnessed the sign
ing of the agreement. The men are
to fight six rounds under the same
conditions that governed the Corbett-
McGovern match, and are to divide
70 per cen of the gate receipts. Har-
ny Pollock, Corbett's manager, want
ed more than 35 per cent. for his
charge, but Johnny Oliver, manager
of Murphy, finally prevailed upon
Pollock to accept the clubs offer.
Both of the fighters are in good con-
dition now, and as each has been
training for the last month, they
will be in excellent shape for the con-
test next month. Corbett will out
weigh Murphy by several pounds, but
the Harlemite is of the opinion that
the weight will hamper the Denverite
more than 1t will help him.

LONG GRIND :
HAS ENDED.
Winner Of Six Day b.
cycle Race Is HOOted- Three
Riders in GrestFinish.

NEW YORK. Dec. 1.-THE result
of the six day bicycle contest at Madi-
sou Square Gaphen was a surprise and
disappointment to many present at the
close.
Root and Fogler took first place,
Hopper and Downing second and Rutt
and Mcfarland third. The distance
was 1892 miles 2 laps. The record is
2,733 miles 4 laps.
BY the sheer strength of his power
full leg drives Joe Fogler jumped his
front wheel over the finish line five
inches in front of Hardy Downing and
Walter Rutt, and 10000 excited men
and women saw the Root-Fogler team
returned the winner for the second
time.
Less than a foot separated the first
three positions, but five Judges were
der.
AS remarkable in the last ten laps
of the long grind rs in almost every
other stage of the way the race ended
in Il tumult of groans, boots and Kisses
as the crowd saw the Brooklyn boy
flash in winner.
Although champions of last years
contest. the ot-Fogler team was the
most unpopular of any of the sixteen
which started in the race. Particular
ly ~antagonistic to the crowd was Fo-
gler, although his wrongdoing was not
noticeable to any degree, and he rode
fully as clean a race as half the others.
When the pistol shot announcing the
beginning of the last mile sprint-the
ten laps in which punctures, falls or
other accidents cost the victim all
chance of fighting for the long sought
victory-rang through the big building
the eight riders chosen to represent
their teams in the battle for final hon
ors whirled over the starting line in a
compact bunch four abreast.
Rutt, pedaling at the top of his
speed, switched the six others around
the Fourth avenue turn in an almost
continuous line. Old timers stood ST
lent. astonished ut the speed with
which Fogler swept into the beginning
of the last lap.
The entire field, on account of Fo-
gler's pace, was in o1vious distress,

pistol announced the beginning of the
last twelve seconds of riding. Even
at this point no one believed Rutt
could fail to pass Fogler on the last
jump.
But on the last turn Rutt swept up
the bank unable because of his mo-
mentum to hold his position. rubbing
Fogler's shoulder. Like a streak of
lightning Hardy Downing, grasping
the opportunity. jumped up off the
pole and forced his wheel down the
middle of the stretch between Fogler
and Rutt, the latter riding close to the
box rail on the top of the bank.

Macdonald three lengths back. flashed
