HOYT DENIES RUMOR
Story Concerning His Backing Collett Against Watt a
 Pipe Dream.
MATCH IS A DELUsIoN
Assistant City Attorney Does Not In- tend to Go Into the Sport
 ing Business.

As stated in the Journal-Courier ex- clusively Saturday morning, Jimmie Watt has given Charlie Johnson $25 to hold as q forfeit against anyone who might want to roll him for the cham pionshlp of the alleys of the state. The challenge was aimed at George Collett of this city Charlie Johnson has eith- CT put the money in the bank or some where else where 1t will be safe, for the forfeit has not been covered and there is no immediate prospect.
 Some one started a yarn that Assis- tant City Attorney Hoyt had gone into the sporting business and would back George Collett for $1,OO0. MT. Hoyt is engaged in his work as prosecutor and does not anticipate going into the show business. He has no intention of backing Collett and never said that he would. MT. Hoyt has seen one bowling match in recent years.
 The match between George Collett and Jimmie Watt is delusion and a snare, as the ancients put it. It Is also sort of hedge game evidently at this end, or friends of Mir Collett would raise the S25 and cover MT. Watts money.
 Jinmies money Is safe whether Charles Johnson has 1t or whether he has put 1t in the bank or somewhere else. He should put it in a bank where 1t will draw interest. It may rust.

TAD JONES ANDLUSH
Baseball Coach Has No Idea of Returning to the Major
 League.
OFFERS TO THE CATCHER
Managers of Big Teams Were Not Making Any Humorous
 Proposals.

An evening paper whose sporting page should be draped in back, has been worrying for the last week about Billy Lush, the Yale baseball coach leaving and going back to the Cleve- land professional baseball team. The dopester sees Billy already playing with the Maps and Yale without a coacH
 Billy Lush can never play profes- sional big league baseball game, and he knows it, as does everyone who has followed the situation at all. The in- jury to his eye. due to an accident on last years eastern trip of the Yale baseball squad, has fixed his organs of vision so that he can not focus a curve, and should be try he would un- doubtedly hurt the muscles of the in jured eye so that he would entirely lost it's sight.
 Another reason that Billy Lush will not go back to professional ball is that he is satisfied here. The outlook for a winning team this spring is the best since Bowman was captain.
 Then this page of scrape above. re- ferred to takes a fall out of Tad Jones, President Murphy and the Cubs, in a way meant to be humorous, but sad ly the opposite. It sees occasion to make fun of the major league trying to capture the Yale catcher and ends up in delightful sarcasm Tad de- clined the honor and set at rest all rumors about his electrifying the fans at any of the big league grounds"
 For the benefit of the mourners:
 Last season after the Yale tragedy had been enacted Tad received an of fer to join the staff of the New York Americans.
 Later Tad received an offer from Cleveland which he declined, not car ing to go into professional ball. The offer to Tad was made by Billy Lush at the solicitation of the Cleveland management.
 The latest offer was made in good i faith by the management of the world champions, the Chicago Nationals Tad's reply was made in the courteous manner for which he is noted.

PAPERS ARE SIGNED
Lewis to Fight Mantell for Vel terweight Championship
 of World.
CANNON AGAINST DOHERTY
Pittsburg Boy to Oppose the Pride of New Haven Before Edgewood
 Athletic Club.

Jacob Besterman, Harry Lewis father, at J. Harmar Bronsons house last night posted forfeit of $25O that his son will meet Frank Mantell in a twelve-round go for the welterweight championship of America before the Edgewood A. C. in Music hall January 2S. He is to weigh in at 142 pounds at o'clock on the afternoon of the match.
 In spite of the fact that Frank Mantell holds the title of welterweight champion. Lewis is considered by many to be the highest class welter- weight in the world.S He has defeated every one except Manten in and around his class
 Lewis father got in just ahead of Jim Donovan. Donovan had signed articles t. meet Lewis, but had failed to post a forfeit and the Edgewood A, C., seeing chance to get two more evenly matched men. accepted the for felt of Besterman, and Donovan will seek other fields
 A week ago Lewis was to meet Man tell in Lymanville, R. l., but circum. stances intervened and the match was postponed, The Rhode Island sports who had become interested will come over here on the night oe the trouble.
 Jeff Donerty will meet Mickey Cannon, of Pittsburs. in the semi final Up to the present time Jeff has had an easy time with alrn 1s. eFery- thing he has run up against, but as Carnon has trimmed about ten who are better than any Jeff has ever met, it is apparent that the pride uf New Haven will have to s3 some to come out al cad. The bout will be for eight rounds at 1SS pounds.
 For the preliminary Kid Kit, of New Haven, will meet Young Lucas. of New York, for six rounds al f22 pounds. On three previous ocasions Lucas and Kilt have gone to a draw.
 The Edgewood A. c. planned to have boxing exhibition on the aft ernoon of Thanksgiving day and se- cured permission from the police de- partment at that time. The officers of the club thought best to postpone it, and the card for January 2S is the result. Dave Fitzgerald will referee the bouts, and the ring will be brought lup from Bridgeport
 No protest from the ministers of the oity is expected, for they under stand that the Edgewood club is run ming boxing matches, and not prize fights. To assure them that such is the case the Edgewood club will be glad to have any of the ministers present as their guests at the bouts.
