NEW YORK, July 20.-Tommy Burns has
publicly declared that he is not disposed to
raise the color line any longer, and that If
any negro puginst thinks he has claim
on the heavyweight championship he can
come forward with challenge in the regu-
lar way. Jack Johnson intmated the day
after the Burns Squires fight that he would
like to take Tommy's measure, and no one
doubts that he will be heard from without
much delay. 1t would, consequently, ap-
pear that the next big fight will take place
between Burns and Johnson. but the prob
abilities are that several months will elapse
before the men can get together. Johnson
Is the only big man who Is entitled to con-
test with Burns for the heavy supremacy,
and there is reason In the world why
the conqueror of the Australian should not
give Jack a chance. All the others have
been given an opportunity 10 show the
public what they are worth. But as soon
as Johnsons name has been mentioned the
color barrier has been raised and the al
legged champions have rushed for the cy
clone cellars.
A fight between Burns and Johnson
would be watched with great interest by
sports all over the country but, OF course,
Burns will have 10 meet others and he will
be a busy pug for the next year or two.
Burns IL is understood. has a very poor
opinion OF Johnson's real fighting ability,
and he fully expects to make short work
OF him II he ever gets him into ring.

ALE-AMERICAN EIGHT
WILL GO TO ENGLAND

Something decidedly novel in the rowing
world will be the selection of an All-Amerf-
can eight to represent this country in the
regatta to be held in connection with the
olympic games next summer. The Olympic
committee has decided against the adms-
sion of individual club crews and will in
sist that each country enter a crew to rep
resent that country. This is the applica-
ton of the same rule as that to be enforced
in the track and field games in which but
one team can be sent from this country
it to be selected after a series of compel
tive tests held in different parts or the
country. President James Pilkington or
the National Association of Amateur Oars
men will shortly appoint committee
which shall select and arrange for the
training of the American crew.
If this crew is properly selected and
trained it will be the first time that this
country has been properly or fairly rep
resented in an English regatta. We have
sent many crews to the other side, but
all have been from clubs or colleges All
explanation has been that the Americans
were called upon to meet. not crew
made up from single club, but one re-
cruited from all England. This has al
ways been the charge made against the
Leander Rowing Clubs crews. Every Ok
ford and Cambridge oarsman is eligible
for the Leander eight. and whenever
England's rowing prestige is in danger
the Leanders draw from their member
ship of several thousand and thus save
the honor of England.
When the University of Pennsylvania
eight went abroad in 1901 and all but de-
feated the Leanders the handicap under
which the Americans labored was very
evident from the fact that the Americans
averaged some ten years younger than
their English rivals and We're selected

been racing during the past week is hard
to determine. as the reports up to date are
silent on that point. In the death of the
trotter Carstairs at Scranton a few days
since from the bursting of a. blood vessel,
Mr. Taylor has met with severe loss. He
was a sorrel gelding, by Simmocolon, 2.16A,
and has shown great deal of speed in
his races The brown stallion Montana
Guard, the last heard from did not seem to
be as good was expected of him earlier
in the season. AS he is bred right being
by Ponce de Leon, 2.13 and has shown
himself in the past to be a race horse of
class. he will! doubtless round to before
the season closes.
Entries for the Leonardtown meet closed
July II. The purses range all the way from
500 to s1CO, the lowest purse being for three
year-olds bred and owned in the county.
The meeting will begin July % and run
three days. The first day there will be a
three-year-old event, 80 trot and pace
and 2.1S trot and pace. Wednesday, July
~, the card includes 2.4O trot and pace
three-minute trot and pace and a free-for-

horses are permitted to perform in these
events. Thursday July p, there will be
40 trot and pace. 2 30 trot and pace for
county-oWned horses, and free-for-all trot

event has been fixed at $780, and it is ex

Considerable local interest is being man
ifested in a match race which is to be
pulled off next Wednesday afternoon be-

to the echo when they came back to weigh

The seven lantern patrols came back
with unanimous reports that each jockey

race was declared official. Probably the

the two Jockeys as much as his horse. Said

Honey Melody Greenwood would like to
fight Melody for any purse lying around
loose, anyhere and at any time. He thinks
he would have just as good chance with
the New England whrlwind as any Of the
other welters or middleweight who are
trying to annex Mellody's title. For few
months past Greenwood has been rusticat-
ing at Schenectady. While there he jumped
into the river and rescued a little girl
from drowning. 1t took a long dive to find
the child and a long swim to bring her
ashore and Greenwood was badly cut by

Discarded Race Horses.

For those who have been following
the old game for long time there Is a
bit of an equine tragedy in these few
lines.
Inspector B. sold to a farmer for $15,

mate to haul the farmer and his family
to and from the village church.
Performing these low tasks in his old
age, denoted and degraded to the rating
of a farm drudge because his days Of
usefulness in the stud are over, one Won

whether old Inspector B. will fall to pom

feed in the farmers barn. For, ii horses
really think, and have memories, as many
a horseman believes, what a swell and
justifiable chance that grand old sorrel
will have to reflect unto himself. What's

And wouldn't 1t have been the fair

the great old sorrel had done for him,
the races and the money he had won for
him, the fame he had helped 20 give
him. the horses he had produced for him
wouldn't it have been the nice and the
fair thing for that owner to have al
lowed the old horse, even If his days Of
usefulness were all and quite passed, to
mooch around on the blue grass of the
stud farm of his nativity until the drum
tapped calling for him to cash in for the
journey to horse heaven?
One wonders.

1t seems. for a long time by men who have
grown tired Of the fakes and fukes that
have brought pugilism- into such disrepute
that 1t is outlawed in three-fourths of the
states Of the Union. And 1t is spreading
through the west SO that many editors Of
sports, square managers of fighters and
clubs have taken 1t up.
Above all else these men would do away
with decisions of referees In puglistic en-
counters. Were there no decisions there
would be no betting they argue. We're
perpetrated and none attempted, such as
the O'Brien-Burns affair. Therefore it is
insisted. boxing would become a pure sport
like base ball, at which the women and the
little children might sit in admiration and
cheer on each punch and jab and hook.

helped the sport. So far as 1 have been

you cut out the grafters and there won't

scheme outlined by Mr.. keevin is i'm
practicable.
NEW YORK, July 20.-Although Bat
Ting Nelson is willing to accept TEX"
Richards offer of a $4,000 purse for an
other finish fight with Joe Cans at Ely
New. on Labor day afternoon. Billy Nolan
his manager, says that the weight limit
for which they have been contending Will
be strictly enforced and may possibly be
raised. He claims that no weight of less
than 1873 pounds at o'clock will be con-
sidered, and that on account of Nelson's
increased bulk they may ask for l34
pounds. Nelson seemed to be far above the
lightweight limit when introduced to the
SPECTATORS at the Burns-Squire go. 1t Is
considered doubtful by some authorities
whether he can get to the 133-pound mark
again. and it is thought that Nolan may
demand even a higher weight than that
mentioned.
