A BOXING TRUST.
Sharkey Now Has Four Boxing
Clubs in Gotham
And Is Negotiating for the Pur-
chase of Others.
DOING GOOD BUSINESS.
First Promoter TO Match COlOred
and White Boxers.
No Gymnasium Appliances, Not
Even DumbbeIls.

New York, Feb. 1.=Tom Sharkey
gov controls four boxing clubs in this
city and it is said he is. negotiating for
the purchase of several others. Shar-
keys latest purchase was the Hudson
Athletic club, which has been holding
bouts in the Lion palace, One Hundred
and Tenth street and Broadway. Shar-
key and his associates took charge of
the club last week and changed the
name to the Metropolitan Athletic
club. The first show was given to a
crowded house. All the old members
of the Hudson Athletic club were
ousted
Sharkey first started the Sharkey
Athletic club on Sixty-hfth street,
naming the club after himself. The
club prospered from the start. Then,
it is said, he purchased the Long Acre
Athletic club on West Twenty ninth
street, also another club on the west
side and lastly the Hudson Athletic
club.
There are several bona f1de clubs in
New York with all gymnasium april
ances where members can go TO exer-
else, but Sharkey's clubs do not even
possess a pair of dumbbells. Sharkey
was also the first promoter to match
cOlored boxers with white men, which
most of the club matchmakers almost
unanimously agreed to cut out of their
programme.
The boxing game has fiourished
since the advent of the three-rOund
bouts. but if Sharkey persists in trying
to drive out competition he may meet
with some opposition which is liable
not only to hurt his clubs but the box
ing game in general.

LETS PATRICK OUT.
Evidence Which viii Be Onered If
New Trial Be secured.

New York, Feb. Among the affi-
davits filed in support of the application
for new trial for Albert T. Patrick is
one by Alexander B. Stanbury, a cor
poral of the Thirteenth United States
infantry. After Charles F. Jones, the
valet of William Marsh Rice, the muir
dered man and who was the principal
witness against Patrick. went back to
Texas; Stanbury says that they met at
the Spindle Top oil field. Stanbury says
Jones told him he had made several con-
fessions regarding the manner of Mr..
Rice's death and that they were all lies.
Jones said he had been advised to make
such confessions by James A. Baker of
Houston. and that Patrick was innocent
of the murder.
Fayette Lee. a fisherman, of Lynch
burg, Tex. swears Jones told him in
April last year:
Il was so bounded and troubled by
officers and harassed by them that /
found that if I did not lay the blame
on Patrick they would either take my
life or send me to the penitentiary for
life so I just told the officers that
Patrick was to blame for everything
Patrick did not tell me to chloroform
Rice, nor did he in any way advise me
TO take the life of Rice and Patrick
was in no way to blame for his death.

Camp Makes New Suggestion.

Kew Haven, Conn, Feb. 1.-WaIter
Camp. YaIe's football adviser. has pro-
posed a new rule penalizing d team two
yards for every half minute of playing
time taken out. He says IhlS
would not only enable the teams to
play a faster game, with less mass
play and less liability to injury, but it
will work out another way. A man
often will stay in a game when ex-
hausted. will lie down after a run, and
time viii be taken. out But if it is
costing his captain two yards every
half minute to keep the injured man
in the game he is going to put in a
fresh man"
