AN EASY VICTORY.
Sullivan Stops Rice in the Eleventh
Round.

Members of the Eureka Athletic Club
filed the Germania Mannerchor Hall, Balti-
more, last night to witness a set-to ar
ranged for fifteen rounds between Austin
Rice, the veteran iron man of New Lon
don, Conn.,, and Kid Sullivan, the rugged
young pugilist of this city. Sullivan admin
istered severe beating to Rice, but the
iron man stood it stoically until the end
of the tenth round.
Bets had been made that Rice would not
stand before Sullivan six rounds, and big
ger bets that he would not stay ten rounds.
Nerve and a strong constitution, coupled
with excellent ring generalship, enabled
Rice to win these bets for his hackers.
That Sullivan did not win in quick order
was appointment to his hackers. Some
contended that the beating INK Russell
gave him in last week in Philadelphia had
put him back bit. Others were of the
opinion tht he was not now able to hit as
hard as he could at this time a year ago.
Others concluded that the Iron Man was
too tough proposition to be stopped quick
ly by fighter of Sullivan's ability. Be the
cause what 1t may, there was one fact ap-
parent. and that was that Sullivan was able
to reach Rices face and body often enough
to have won in quicker time than he did
Sullivan's eventual winning was done by
his body blows; these wore down Rice.
They d1d not 90 II quickly, put cunuid-
lively
Rice apparently did not hurt Sullivan at
any stage of the fight. though he landed a
number Of clever blows and did some clever
stalling and footwork Sullivan forced the
fighting and had the advantage in nearly
every round
The continuous rain of blows told on the
old man and he was very much in distress
when he finished the tenth round.
In the eleventh round Hanlon. seeing that
his man had enough and was only taking
punishment, threw a towel into the ring,
intended as the signal of submission. Rice
wanted to keep going to the end of the
round and Kid Sullivan and Referee OHara
kicked the towel out of the ring. At the
end of that round Rice confessed that he
was all In. He showed no marks Of the
beating and Sullivan finished with but a
little blood at the nose.
Rice's handlers were Jack Hanlon, Kid
Hanlon, Betty Reynolds and Edward Snow
den. Sullivan's were Young Peter Jackson
Al Herford, Harry Lyons and Sammy Har-
ris.

CONFIDENCE IN
FORMER OFFICIALS.

In reappointing the old officials to have
charge of the racing on the eastern tracks
this year the stewards of the Jockey Club
have indicated their complete confidence in
Starter Mars Cassidy and Judges Clarence
Mcdowell and c. II. Pettingill. 1t is as
sumed that Mr.. Cassidy will do all of the
starting again this year. although not long
ago there was a rumor that another man
would be engaged to divide the work with
him. Mr.. Cassidy possesses a rugged con-
stitution and is apparently a glutton for
steady work. for in spite Of the long cam
paign here last season, in which he never
missed day at the post from the opening
of Benning In March to the windup in De-
cember, he IS starting the horses at City
Park, New Orleans, this winter, and his
work has been generally satisfactory. But
at New Orleans Mr.. Cassidy is using his
walk-up system, which was prohibited on
the Jockey Club tracks in 1905. Whether
the Jockey Club stewards will yield the
point before the racing at Washington be-
gins, and allow Mr.. Cassidy to send the
horses away according to his own IDEAS is
a difficult problem to solve The standing
start has never been relished by Mr. Cas-
sidy. but 1t is fact that many of the lead
ing turfmen believed in 1t firmly last season,
and for that reason the walk-up system was
sidetracked.
Judges Mcdowell and Pettingill were Sc
verely and perhaps unjustIy criticised last
year because of alleged errors in the placing
OF horses at the wire. and some persons
toward the close of the campaign circulated
the report that they might be displaced
But both are competent, honest and fear
less, and for that reason the Juckey Club
stewards apparently have no reason for
making change. W. s. Vosburgh, reap
pointed official Handicapped, has a mort
gage on the job, anyway so that the an
nouncement is merely formal. He is con-
coded to be the best adjuster of handicap
weights In this country, and his figures in
many instances have produced remarkable
results Racing under the jurisdiction of
the Jockey Club therefore. will be in capa-
BILE hands. which means that the confidence
of the public will not be lost But the
Jockey Club might have made another step
forward by appointing at least one paid
steward to officiate at all the tracks. Such
officials have been decidedly successful in
the west, and many turfmen would like to
see the innovation tried In the east

REFORM OF FOOT BALL.
Harvard Overseers Would Abolish the
Worst Features of the Game.

President Eliot of Harvard University
says of the measures suggested by the
graduates committee of Harvard for i'm
proving foot ball:
''The suggestions of the graduates COM
mittee are entirely inadequate. The rules
are hopeless"
1t learned today that at yesterdays
secret meeting of the Harvard overseers
statement from President Eliot on the ques-
ton of foot ball was read and considered.
In it President Eliot scored the conditions
under which the game is played, especially
with reference 10 the rules. the tremendous
expenditures of money and the absolutely
professional spirit and management of the
game. not only at Harvard but all over the
country. He pointed out to the overseers
that they should take some action In this
connection.
In the discussion, II Is understood the
overseers were divided between the radical
suggestions OF President Eliot and the more
liberal attitude OF President Roosevelt,
and In communication sent to the ath-
letic committee the overseers favored so
thorough a change in the rules AS to abolish
practically all OF the worst features of the
game. The overseers also favored a more
general participation of the student body in
athletics at Harvard
Strong hopes were expressed that Yale
could be induced to join with Harvard and
other colleges In the movement for reform

Tyler about $4,000.
Racing dates from May 10 to June were
claimed last night by the directors of the
Ontario Jockey Club, at Toronto, Canada,

The attention of owners and breeders Is
called by the Jockey Club to the rule which
provides that all two-year-olds must be
named on or before March 1. and that after
that date name can be registered upon
the payment of $50 fine. No name that
has been employed during the previous five
years. either in the stud or on the turf, can
be duplicated. Otherwise the rule places
no restriction on the names that can be
used, although the registry Office of the
Jockey Club has the right to reject those
that are Objectionable. Some of the larger
owners take time in selecting names for
their young colts and FLIES and also show
desire to hit upon something appropriate
But other horsemen usually go about the
task in a haphazard, thoughtless way
which in some instances results In burden
ing horses with absurd names. The prac-
tice of naming two-year-oids after brands

be frowned upon In future together with

AFTER THE BIG
GOLF JOURNEYS.

NEW YORK, January 13.-As the time
approaches for the annual meeting of the
United States Golf Association, which is to
be held in this city January 49, the appli-,
cations for the big championship events are
beginning to come in. Thus far the Balti-
more Country Club is the only applicant for
the amateur championship. 1t has never
held the event. but in 1899 the open cham
pionship was held over its sporty eighteen
hole course. when the championship was
won by Willie Smith, now the professional
of the Mexico Country Club.
The Atlantic City Country Club and the
Nassau Country Club have each applied for
the women's championship. Neither Of
them has ever had the event, but they
have both had the amateur championship.
Applications for the open championship
have been received from the Englewood
Golf Club and the Philadelphia Cricket
Club. Neither Of them has ever had any OF
the big events.

Herrera Hit Hardest.
Herrera's blows had more force behind
them and were better timed. He also upset
the calculations of the sporting men by ex-
h,biting more cIeverness than Corbett. 1t
was thought that the latter. realizing that
his fighting ability had suffered somewhat
by virtue Of his hard encounters with Britt,
Nelson and Hanlon. would rely on his supe-
rior boxing skill to beat down Herrera. He
showed an utter disregard for the finer
points Of the game however. and even the
Mexican himself was surprised by Corbett's
tactics.
Aurelia like mad bull. and as result OF
his wild swinging he went to his corner
tired and staggering. During the minutes
rest odds of 2 to and to were offered
that Herrera would win. Corbett was inn
plored by his seconds to hold back. but he
ignored their advice and continued his bor~
ing.in methods This was just to the liking
of Herrera. who worked In his vigorous
right-hand swings with telling effect. The
second and third rounds were in Herrera's
favor, although Corbett at times showed
flashes of his old-time form. He did his
best work in the fourth round. and 1t looked
of winning.
Corbett Was Tired.
He went to his corner very tired. and toed
the mark for the fifth round considerably
weaker than his opponent. Corbett bound
ed out Of his corner with blood in his eye
and rushed Herrera. who sent him back
with frightful hook to the jaw. Corbett
came back willingly, and for fully half
minute the men stood breast to breast and
mixed it desperately.
They were both trying for a knockout.
The punishment the fighters assimilated in
dictated wonderful stamina on the part of
both. Finally Corbett was seen to waver
and Herrera was on him with the fury of
tiger. First right, then left. and Corbett
backed up helpiessly against the ropes A
crashing right to the stomach doubled him
up like jackknife. The house was in an
uproar, and Herrera, stepping back and
measuring his distance, carefully caught the
lettering but game Corbett on the point of
the jaw with right uppercut that sent him
down and out.
1t was fully half minute before Corbett
recovered. and then broke down and wept.

from the ring. II thought 1 was still good,
but this licking has broken me all up.
