DANIELS FOR ENGLAND.
American Champion to Try for Eng
 fish Titles After Olympic Games.

American Champion to Try for Eng
 fish Titles After Olympic Games. It was announced yesterday that q. M. Daniels, New York A. C.. who made such great havoc among the records during the past week would visit Eng lhnd this coming season and have q crack at all the championships from 1O0 yards to a mile. There is scarcely any doubt that Daniels will be select ed as one of the American team for the Olympic games in Greece and it is his intention not to return with the team but stay in England and prepare for the events. At Athens he will ap- pear in all three races-1OO, 400 aud 1,600 metres.
 With Ellington out of the way Dan iels will have fair chance for the English titles but he will have no cinch. Should Zoltan da Halmey, the Hungarian, decide to come across for the 100 yards, he will be dangerous opponent. Last year he won the cham- pionship ffi 50 seconds, figures which are now the British record. and within two yards of him in second place was J. H. Derbyshire. and though a veter- an at the game Derbyshire may show up we'll. Ff
 So far as the records show the best man Daniels will meet in the 220 is Eric Forsyth. who swan plucky sec ond to Kieran and was only four yards behind the Australian, who finished in ? minutes and 37 Is seconds. On Thursday last Daniels swan in 2 min utes and 8 1-5 seconds but there was big difference in the number of turns and the temperature of the water fa- yored the American.
 The best Englishman the, American will meet for the middle distances and mile will be H. Taylor of Chadderten. who finished good third to kiefan and Ellington in the 10. Sso. 1o yards and miis. The Ghatlderton swimmer was well In the chase in these events but of course his actual merit was lost sight of with kteran and Billlngtos. Another man wno may loom up when the cracks are out of the running Is Jarvis an ea-chan- pioh. He is said toibe gathering an adIpose tissue rapidly bur the pros poets of an easy title to two may h. duce him to he in trim when the tune arrives.

Billy Hallman is to manage and to play first base for the Savannah team. He has q big staff of pitchers, most of whom are recruited from the Southern college teams. Rainey of the New London team is one of the twirlers signed by President Boyers.
 Cozy Dolan who played out the tail end of last season with the Boston Nationals, has just gone through the motions of refusing to sign his con tract with the Bost0ns for next sea son. Dolan does not think that he is offered enough for standing in a sun field all season.
 Ralph Glaze, the crack Dartmouth pitcher, has assured Manager Jimmy Collins of the Boston Americans that he will join the team on it's southern | trip Leon Martill. the Georgetown | catcher, who has been debarred from | athletics in the university is, likely to join Collins.
 Jack Mccarthy, Billy Maloney and | Harry Lumley, all outfielders, are Ol, strike, as they say the salaries offered to them by the Brooklyn club are not liberal enough to induce them to sign contracts. If they refuse to play ball Donovan's team will be seriously crip- pied.
 Tommy Corcoran, the Cincinnati shortstop, and his brother, Phil Cor coran of the Connecticut Base Ball league, gave reception at the Hotel Oneco in New Haven Saturday. Tom l my will leave for Texas tomorrow and | will join the team ill that state. He I said he felt in tip-top shape and did l not see the necessity of going south Ill l this kind of weather
 Hot Springs is the magnet for ball players who wish to begin training De fore the regular spring trips of the big league teams. At present Dave Brain of the Boston Nationals, Jesse Tame hill. Norman Gibson and Al selbacr of the Boston Americans, Jake Beckley of the St Louis Nationals and Norman Elberfeld and Eddie Hahn of the New York Americans are taking the baths there and playing ball. In few days another batch of players will show uI so that there will be enough on hant to play a regular game between two teams of expert tossers.
 "Red" Waller will be given chance to play with Jim OR0urke's Bridge port team this season if he so desires Waller three years ago had corkine good arm and fine control. He would make an agreeable addition to O' Rourke's string of pitchers.
 Wonder what Harry Durant will dt with all those ball players he has ksigned for Waterbury?

THE PUGlLlSTS
NELSON A HERO
The Battling One Stops Run away How Tommy Burns
 Did the Trick.

Huntington, " Va, Feb 26.-Bat- tling Nelson, the champion lightweight pugilist, who is spending Il few days in the mountains at Blue Sulpher, near here, prior to going into training at Philadelphia, was painfully bruised ill stopping runaway at that place yes terday and rescuing Mrs Frank How ard with her two small children from perilous situation.
 Mrs Howard had taken the children for a drive and the horse, becoming frightened, bolted and ran. As the runaway neared Nelson, the pugilist leaped for the horses neck and sue ceeded in stopping it only after he had been dragged a considerable distance. The bruises are not serious.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-02-26
HOW BURNS DID IT.

Tommy Burns's real name is Noah Brusso, and he halls from Detroit. His only noteworthy achievement in the ring prior to his fight with Marvin Hart was victory over Hugo Kelly, a pupil of Tommy Ryan. When he faced Hart Friday night the betting was 10 to [ against him. while the big Louis vile man outweighed him by at least twenty-five pounds. Burns wasted no time, but with extreme cleverness and considerable punching power proceeded to make the would-be champion look like q novice. He cut Hart's, face to ribbons, closing both of his eyes and causing his mouth to swell in such a manner that Marvin could not make himself understood. Hart swung wild ly and awkwardly, but during the whole fight he did not land all effective blow.
 When the referee awarded the decis- ion to Burns there was no fault found but the crowd was dumbfounded by tbe showing of the big fellow. After the mill Hart's friends declared that he had been drugged, for they could not account in any other way for his ridiculously weak performance. Burns escaped without bruises and was a hero, even though ring experts who saw the fight said that he was not a truly great fighter, but that Hart was ,the worst apology for champion that had ever put up a pair of fists. Hart's downfall made Tommy Ryan, his men, tor and chief second, look decidedly small, while it also caused Jeffries, who sat at the ring side, much amusement. Hart has no right to a match with the boilermaker now, while Burns, who weighs about ITO pounds, is in line for q battle with Philadelphia Jack O'Brien. The latter, who Is in New York, was surprised when he learned the outcome of the contest. He said that Burns was entitled to meet him for the heavyweight championship and that he would sign articles with him for mill to take pace in California about July f. .OBrien met Burns ill. a six round bout at Milwaukee in 0cto- Der, 1904, and secured decision, but Burns at that time was green and knew little or nothing of the game of fistiana. O'Brien. incidentally, said that he would fight Ryan for the mid dleweight championship at 15S pounds 2 o'clock, but added that in his opinion Ryan did not mean business.
