KEENE IS NOT
DISSATISFIED WITH HANDICAP.

NEW YORK, January Thames r.
Keene says he is not dissatisfied with the
weight assigned to his horse Sysonby G31
pounds) in the Brighton Handicap. nor has
he criticised the Handicapped, for he has
the highest opinion of Mr.. Vosburgh's tai
ent and integrity, and he has never said
that he would declare the horse out that
Sysonby would not start Mr.. Keene added
that it was on the face of it, a preposterous
thing to suppose that any owner can in the
month of January say where orr in what
races his horses may run in July.
Neither is there any truth in the publish
ed statement that Mr.. keene contemplated
enga ging Redfern to ride for him. He has
entered into no negotiations to that end, he
says.
1t will be pleasing news to the entire
racing community to hear on the same au-
thority that Sysonby has wintered in mag
nificent condition, and in the opinion of all
capable of judging, Mr.. Keeue's great four
year-old easily outlooks, as he easily out
ran, all that he met last year.

JACK O'BRIEN
ALMOST KNOCKED OUT.

CINCINNATI. January 27.-"PhiIadelphia
Jack" O'Brien, conqueror of lanky Bob
Fitzsimmons, was knocked down and al
most out at the Standard Theater In this
city, where he is giving three-round SPAR
ring exhibitions twice daily. Fred Cooley
of Chicago. O'Briens sparring partner, &C
complished what Bob Fftzsimmons eouldn't
succeed in doing in thirteen rounds.
In the last round of the three Cooley
landed a right swing on O'Brien's jaw and
sent the new champion staggering to the
floor. Jack went down in a heap and did
not get up for some time. Had he been
given the count he might have peen out
AS a result of the bump he received
O'Briens back and hip were severely
bruised, but he Is not seriously hurt
II was looking at one of the comedians
who but in,'' said O'Brien afterward and
did not see Cooley's right coming. It
caught me squareIy on the jaw and down
I went. I'll give Cooley credit for scoring
the first knockdown, but it Is not true that
I lost my head. The bump when / went
down hurt my back and hip, and for q
little while could not get up"
The gallery at the theater went wild
when O'Brten hit the floor.

FRANK HUELSMAN STILL
BELONGS TO WASHINGTON.

Another one of those flake" telegraph
specials crept into Washington last night
from the west. purporting to give the de-
tails of the sale of Outfielder Huelsman to
the Columbus, Ohio, club for $1,000.
On the contrary, Frank Huelsman still
belongs to the Washington club, and, if the
present situation holds out, he will be wear
ing National uniform next summer. Two
different clubs in the American Association
have been dickering for the services of
Huelsman, and it was thought at one
time that everything had been arranged
for his transfer, but at the last moment an
American League club stepped in with
refusal to waive claim to the big fellow and,
of course, the negotiations went up in the
air.

BURNS HANDICAP

SAN FRANCISCO. January 27.-The most
important handicap that will be run in
America this year outside of New York will
be decided this afternoon at the Oakland
track. 1t looks as if the Burns handicap

which is quite change.
That a new record for this race will be
established Is believed to be a certainty.
The present record is 2.O6az, made by Ruinart
in 1881 The track record for one mile and
a quarter is 2.05l. held Jointly by Gauntlet

illustration, such speed would carry the
Stanley steamer distance equal to that
from New York to Philadelphia in less than
fOrty-three minutes or from New York to
Boston in about two hours.
The making OF these records cannot be de-
scribed any more than could be described
the shooting of a ball from cannon. Five
thousand persons along the Daytona end of
the beach back of Il line marked by the
parting of sixty automobiles craned their
neCks to watch the Stanley steamer she
appeared below the pier at Sea Breeze, a
mile and half to the north.
After long waiting the speck peared
along the retreating tide. Rapidly it grew
larger. FOR all the world like beetle of ver-
million hue. Scarcely was its shape def
nitely defined when with a whirl it was
alongside, but so low that only those in the
front line could see 1t. In fash it was
past, and craning necks permitted only
glimpse of its marvellous retreat to the
southwark.
Before the judges stand an electrically
connected tape gave the signal that the
