KID sULLIvAN's
RAW ROASTING

BALTIMORE, Md, January 10.-Stories
were current in local pugilistic circles yes
terday that it was not INK Russell who
gave Kid Sullivan the worst drilling ever
boxer received in Philadelphia, but a
newspaper critic, who is interested In an
other club in the Quaker city and who
failed to bring the match off before his
club because the Washington Sporting Club
offered better inducements. When Sullivan
stopped off In this city on his way to
Washington his appearance failed to con-
firm the story of the bad marks inflicted
by Russell
that Sully got the worst OF the milling. but
he was somewhat chagrined by the an
nouncement that his portege had been
given a good 1acing.
Herford said: Russell was favored by
height and reach and at the weight he
fought Sullivan was in the weter-weight
class. In his setto Sullivan weighed about
1870 pounds. while his opponent looked to
be around 145 pounds. Although it was
one of the most slashing battles ever seen
there. Sullivan was at no stage near being
knocked out.
Sullivan took the count in the fifth
round and also slipped on another occa-
sion. but he was not credited with having
scored a clean knockdown over the heavier
man.. The Washington boy was somewhat
handicapped by his stature and seemed
somewhat puzzled at Russelrs abnormal
reach. Frequently both swung together,
but Russell landed first on account of his
reach. Sullivan was the aggressor always
being just as anxious to mix 1t as the Phil
adelphian and to swap punches at the
finish.
Russell is one of the best boys that
Philadelphia has produced In a long while
but he refuses to make weight. Sullivan
should be given due credit for taking the
big fellow on, as Battling Nelson and
Jimmy Britt refused to meet Russell UNI
less he would come down to the lightweight
class. Russell is touted as q featherweieht
but from all indications 1t would be a hard
matter for him to make 1873 pounds.
Il offered Russell a big inducement to
meet Sullivan in this city at 1873 pounds at
pm on the day of the contest said
would hang up $1,000 purse and place a
side bet of $1,000, agreeing to let any com
petent referee judge the contest Russell
ana his manager did not seem to take any
liking to my suggestion and 1 left the
Washington Sporting Club the scene of
the argument, without receiving an answer
III they consider the proposition / have
made | am still willing to make good.
sullivan showed his usual weakness by
bleeding at the nose, which naturally made
II look from Philadelphia standpoint in
Russell's favor.
Sullivan is essentially no six-round
boxer, and contests of fifteen and twenty
rounds duration are more favored by the
Washington boy 'No

COAL IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Investigation Of Deposits on Batar
Island.

A report of the investigation of coal de-
posits on the military reservation on Ba-
tan Island, Philippine Islands, made by
Lieut.. H. L. Wigmore Of the Engineer
Corps. has been received at the War De-
partment. In summing up Lieut.. Wigmore
saws there are two distinct sets of coal
measures, in one of which. estimatingly
conservatively, at least six feet OF work
able coal in two seams will be found. and In
the other at least ten feet, also in two
seams He says there Is no reasonable
doubt of the continuity OF the coal seams,
and that the data at present shows the
probably course Of both these coal meas
ures to be across and under the coal claims
on which the government has an option,
and continuing to the end of the reserva-
ton.
Lieut. Wigmore says the Batan coal Is
eminently suited for steamlng purposes and
is generally superior to that now used In
the Philippine Islands. and IL produced at
s434 or less per ton is actually cheaper
than Japanese coal.
In speaking of the practicability of min
ing, he says that coal mining at that point
not only is practicable but that a combfna-
ton of conditions favorable to economical
mining such as exists there Will rarely be
found. Among other advantages he men,
lions the availability of timber. cost of la
Dor, water, drainage facilities. thickness of
seams and ease of entry

EXPERT POOL PLAYERS.
Frank Sherman to Play Joe Todd 400
Balls,

Joe Todd. who has held the pool cham
pionship Of Pennsylvania and New Jersey
foI the past five years. during which time
he has played matches with the leading
players of the country. will play match
for 400 balls with Frank Sherman of this
city tomorrow night and Friday night at
the Maryland pool parlors, zoos Pennsyl-
venia avenue. The winner will take the
purse. Todd has record of seventy-three
consecutive balls on a regulation table.
He is regarded as one OF the most expert
pool players in the country. Mr. Todd has
been in several big tournaments and has
always held his own. He has been here for
about two weeks trying to arrange this
game with Sherman. Sherman held out for
a professional table and Todd for the resu-
lation, but Sherman finally gave way
Frank Sherman is we'll known as one or
the best pool players in the world. he mas
played in many big tournaments, and won
the championship of the world In Boston
in 1903, defeating De Orc, Clearwater,
Stoffl, Jerome Keogh and Grant Eby, ana
did not lose a game. The following year he
lost the championship to De Orc by close
score. At Baltimore last year sherman oe-
feated Clearwater in a 6OO-ball game LOT q
purse of $500 by 900 to 497. Sherman has
lust returned from New York, where ne
met two of the best players of the city, de-
feating them both.

Philip McGinnis, for years the assistant
to Starter c. ]. Fitzgerald and the inventor
OF the barrier which bears his name, Is an
applicant for the position of starter on the
smaller tracks that race under the Jockey
Clubs rules IN the east. McGinnis ham
died the barrier at the Baltimore meetings
last year, and In spite of the fact that he
had a poor lot nf horses and riders to deal
with his work gave much satisfaction. he
gained much experience, and turfmen fully
expect to see him do the starting at other
tracks. The Jockey Club will appoint two
starters for this work, SO that the men who
send the horses away on the big tracks Will
not be asked to leave the local circuit.
An odd streak of i'll luck has followed
Sam Hildreth ever since he was retnstated
by the Jockey Club last summer. When
he returned to the eastern tracks after an
absence of several years he took active con-
troll of the big stable owned by r.. e.
Smathers, but for some reason the horses
encountered a string of defeats that soon
disheartened Smathers and caused him to
sell out lock- stock and barrel. Then Hill
dreth conducted stable of his own with
poor success, and when the campaign closed
last fall he was said to be a big loser. AT
New Orleans this winter he has travelled
in the same rut in addition to losing $40.VS
making book. But Hildreth is plucky ma
insists that there win be turn in the long
lane before next summer rolls around.

CHICAGO TO FIGHT
FOR BOWLING CONGRESS

CHICAGO, January 10.-After reviewing
the situation from all angles and taking
counsel with other western associations,
Chicago bowlers consider they have more
than a fighting chance for the next ma
tional bowling tournament, and will go
after it with vengeance.
1t is admitted that Philadelphia has a
lengthy start, that st. Louis is dangerous
dark horse, and that New York always
stands ready to grab anything loose. It
is equally certain that Milwaukee, Cleve-
land and Buffalo will be against Chicago,
but with all these obstacles in the way the
fight Is deemed worthy strong effort.
At meeting last night the field was
thoroughly gone over and reports from
friendly bowling associations considered. ].
w. Mccoy. president of the Chicago Bowl
ing Association: August Lipman. president
of the Monroe League, and Il. D. PETER
representing the cooperative alleys, were
among those present at last nights meet
ing.
President Mccoy announced that he
would shortly call a meeting of the entire
city association to take up the matter and
devise the best plans. AS the local chapter
of the American bowling congress, the Chi
cago Bowling Association must lead and
direct the campaign
Men very prominent In the sport have
urged the action and are backing It strong
ly. Little doubt was expressed in a can
vass of bowlers today that the city ASSOC
citation would promptly direct that the fight
be made.
Chicago will probably base it's contest
first upon the superior advantages of loca-
aon and the prestige OF its former very
successful national tournament. Stress will
also be laid upon the hostility of the east
and the dire things that would befall II
New York ever got its tentacles upon the
tournament.

WILLIE SHIELDS MAY
SELL HIS STABLE

NEW ORLEANS. January 10.-It was re-
ported at the Fair Grounds that the we'll
known New York horseman, WIN Shields,
would sell out his entire string, with the
exception of the Derby candidate. Ben
Holder. Young Shields father. Alex
Shields. Will take charge of The Com
moner colt and prepare him for the star
event OF the Crescent Jockey Clubs meet.
Young Shields retirement Is due to a re-
currence OF the throat trouble which caused
him to leave off racing during the summer
meets on metropolitan tracks last season.
Only yesterday the Shields stable put
through a killing with the two-year- old
Blackburn and succeeded in getting In the
money with the long shot Slfunpike In the
opening race, and with Ben Holder in tho
handicap.
The Shields stable also includes st. VAL
entine. the three-year-olds Reidmoore, ENio
Green and several two-year odds.
This stable has been one Of the factors of
the meeting.

ELEVEN COAST PLAYERS
FOR BIG LEAGUES

Eleven base ball stars of the Pacific Coast
League will receive trials In fast company
next season. Not in history have the
American and National Leagues made such
heavy inroads as this year on the circuit
of the far west.
The big league manager has become very
partial to the western ball tosser. especially
those of the California clubs, and the list
OF candidates to receive trials In the east
grows larger every year.
Jimmy Fogarty. Sweeney. Fred Carroll.
Jay Hughes Big Bill LanEe. Rip Van Hal
tren and Joe Corbett are among the old
diamond stars picked up In California and
who made good when switched several
thousand miles east.
In the present day there is q formidable
list Frank Chance. Hal Chase. Sam
Danny Shaw. Orvie Overall and Outfielder
Lumley first attracted the attention of the
public while playing on the coast.
Many Good Youngsters.
schafleY, the heavy-hitting Portland In
fielder, attracted the eye Of Jake Stahl. and
he will play with Washington
One of the most promising of the 1906 con-
tingent who will be tested In the major
leagues Is Jimmy Byrnes, catcher Of the
Oakland (Cal) club, who was drafted by
Connie Mack for the Athletics. He Is a
cool. steady man, with an arm Of steel He
is expected to develop into a valuable man
to help out Schreck and Powers
Probably the most advertised player OF
the number Is Joe Nealon, first baseman Of
the San Francisco club. who was drafted
by Ffttsburg. The New York Americans.
st. Louis Americans and Cincinnati made a
great fight to land the player. but Fred
Clarke who was on the ground. by a clever
bit of strategy signed him to a Pittsburg
contract after he had agreed to go with
Cincinnati for larger salary.
Nealon Is a hard. free hitter, and is very
clever In fielding. He is a big man, weigh
Ing close to 200 pounds, but is said to be as
fast as Wagner In addition Pittsburg pur-
chased Tommy Sheehan OF Tacoma, who Is
said to be the best third basemen In the far
west.
Clark Griffith succeeded in signing three
OF the leading pitchers of the circuit. They
are Jimmy Wha1en and Roy HIT OF San
Francisco and Bobby Keefe Of Tacoma
Posies for Whalen
Whalen is regarded as the Mathew,sou OF
the coast. He has been the Seals main
stay in the box since 1902, when his team
won the pemant He has all sorts of shut
out records to his credit, and 1t is believed
that he can make good without difficulty
Hit Is young southpaw who has done
good work and Keefe Is said to possess
unusually battling curves
The ST. Louis Americans signed louis
NordySe OF Tacoma. a hard-hittins first
baseman. and Pub Bennett. a clever sec
ond sacker taken from Seattle
Charlie Graham. captain of the three-
time penna winning Tacoma club, will
play with the Boston Americans. He Is re-
sarded as the headiest backstop In the
west Moskfman OF the Oakland club.
signed by the Chicago Americans is held
as the most versatile man who ever played
In the Pacific Coast League He Is a GOOD
pitcher and can play infield and outfield
positions very creditably
