There Is Splendid Material at Mad

Rowing Coach.

Madison. Wis. Jan. Growing pros
poets at the University of Wisconsin are
brighter than for years past. despite the
manner in which the university authori-
ties have frowred upon athletics gen
orally II is now practically assured
that Wis -onsin's crew viii have two big
races this year. A contract has already
been closed with the Syracuse University
team to come West for a race on Lake
Mendoza, on which the university fronts.
but Wisconsin viii also undoubtedly go
East for one more year at least. For
years past Wisconsin has Travelled 1000
miles 90 row AT PoUghkeePsie against

nifty men out as candidates for the 1891
freshman crew. The older men have pre-
pared these candidates for the tank by
I preliminary instruction, so the work of
Ten Eyck in wedding out the impossibles
will be comparatively easy.
The holding OF q race on Mendoza Lake
is an innovation which promises TO be

finest spot for rowing contests in the
| West near any university. The proximity
of the university 20 the lake makes it a
simple matter for the Badgers 10 find
good accommodations FOR visitors. and il
is probable that next year some other
Eastern college, probably Cornell or Penn

in the trip West
The Duluth Barge Club has proposed
contests with the " isconsin varsity men,
but no arrangements have been definitely

BROWNS OUTLOOK GOOD.
Providence CoIIeEiane Expect to
HIVE "a strong Bali Team.

Providence, r. l., Jan GL--The baseball
outlook at Brown University points to as
strong a team the coming season as last,
and Brown had as strong team as
there was in the colleges last year.
The team is practically intact for 1901

terial but Will have the additional ad-
vantage Of having played together for
several seasons. Tit and Paine. the
crack battery, are still in college and
have played together for three years
They are both '07 men, as are Elrod,
first base; Jones, second base; Dickin-
son, shortstOp; Hamilton, third base, and

the Washington ball team. entered suit
against the Anacostia and Potomac River
Railroad Company yesterday to recover
SIS, 600 damages for alleged personal,

Abbey. who is termed by his attorneys.
Maddox & Galley. as a professional base
BAH player, claims that on January 30 Of
last year he was walking along Pennsyl-
vania avenue near Fourteenth street
early in the morning while it WAS yet
dark. He states he saw a car approach
ing from the west and. supposing 1t was
lslackening speed. he attempted to cross
the track. Mr.. Abbey claims that in
istead of decreasing. the speed Of the car
was increased. and did not stop as he
thought il would. BY trying 70 avoid tie
oncoming car, Mr.. Abbey alleges he
slipped In a depression beside the track
and fell violently 10 the ground, his left
arm failing under the car, thereby get
ting mangIed and mashed to such an eX-
tent that amputation was necessary.

JOHN L. WAS GAME.
Refused to Allow Referee to stop
the COrbett Fight.

When Jim Corbett beat John L. Sullivan
at New Orleans nearly fifteen years ago,
John Duffy was the referee. At that time
Duffy was the best ring judge in the pro-
feSsiOn.
When Sullivan was Keeling around the
ring in front Of the jabs and punches
that Corbett rained upon him, he turned
to Duffy with a fierce glare.
Il can't see him at ALL growled Sulli-
van. He's too young and too fast fer
me"
Duffy, who had always been a great
admirer of Sullivan, nodded his head and
said: That's right, John. Shall l stop
itg'
stop nothing" replied the fading cham
piOn. I'm here to get my medicine from
a better man. You live UP TO the rules +"
When Duffy counted Sullivan out in the
twenty-frst round. he was crying like a
baby.

Success in Australia.

Honolulu. Jan. H.-Jack Johnson. the
champion colored heavyweight pugilist
who recently left for the colonies on the
liner Sonoma, gave an exhibition OF his
ability as a boxer while here, and made a
good impression. His impromptu go with

bag-punching exhibition, but was disap-
pointed because o. no platform being OBJ

prised to learn to-day that James r.
Keene's star three-year-old FLY. Pope
Joan, had been retired 20 the Castleton
stud and would be bred to the noted
Delhi
Last seasons before she made her first
appearance in a race at Saratoga, Pope
Joan was heralded as even greater than
her stable mate. Court Dress, the champion
two-year-old FLY Of the year. When she
started in the Fuurity at Sheepshead
Bay, coupled in the betting with Peter
Pan and Ballot, it looked as If Mr.. Keene
could not lose the big stakes. In fact it
was right up to the last few strides that
Pope Joan appeared to have the race in
hand. only 10 tire just as Electloneer
came along with his victorious rush.
Pope Joan finished gamely, but was
beaten by such small margin that mucn
sympathy was expressed for her owner
and trainer.
Later. during the fall meeting at
Brighton. Pope Joan started again, but
she was knocked back at the start, and
finished nowhere, as she never had q
chance 10 make up the lost ground. After
that Trainer Rowe retired the FLY be-
cause Of slight lameness.

After all that has been said and done
and threatened. there is no immediate
danger of an alarming siashing of base
ball salaries. Not even the great Amer
lean game can be made so absolute a
trust that man can be kept long on a
$500 salary by one club when another
club is willing and anxious to pay him
$500.
Moreover, the magnates are not fools.
They know how powerful a magnet in
wheeling the dollars into the box office
is the knowledge of the fans that there
are men on the clubs pay roll who are
paid as high as $40 game. A club whose
salary list is known to be $4,000 a year is
more than twice as alluring an attraction
as one that pays out only S30,000
There is no sense and less argument in
the assertion. millions of times reiterated,
that a ball player who commands $500 or
SS0G0 a season couldn't earn so a week at
anything else. There are singers whe are
paid $l,o00 a night and there are artists
who get 1900 or $4,000 for a single paint
ing, who couldn't earn their board by any
