MATCH HUGE JOKE.

After whipping one English champion,
Tommy Burns cannot be blamed for TAX
ing on a near-champion. A cable from
London yesterday brought the information
that the conqueror of Molr had been
matched to fight Jack Palmer for a side
wager Of $500 and the best purse offered.
the same not to be less than 1880. The
money will be divided-75 per cent. to the
winner and 25 per cent. to the loser.
This fight is merely a potboiler for
Burns, while Mr.. Palmer's cupidity for
money steels him to face a certain beat
ing for the losing end. The side bet is
purely Piccadily bunk. DR.. Spitzka imme-
diately would put in a bid for the brain of
anybody willing to stake $500 ON Palmer's
chances.
Burns should win this fight at any time
he pleases. Burns whipped Moir in ten
rounds, and Moir took Palmer's measure.
Palmer came to America last spring and
was knocked out by Jack Twin Sullivan
inside of twenty rounds.
Palmer is handicapped by a pair of
curved legs, which are always interfering
with his movements. In footwork and
sidestepping he is as graceful as a COW

To Fight for the Worlds Feather.
weight Title at Colma.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. W.-At last
Owen Moran and Abe Attell have been
matched to fight for the championship Of
the world. The fighters nave signed arti-
cles to battle twenty-five rounds at Colma,
Cal, on New Years afternoon.
For years efforts have been made to get
Attell and Moran into the ring together.
Moran came to this country once before
to get a match with the shifty Abe. but
he was unsuccessful. owen has taken on
weight since then and has improved In his
fighting ability.
The fighters will battle for a guaran-
teed purse of $1,000 with the privilege of
accepting so per cent. of the gross re-
ceipts. The money will be divided 65 per
cent. to the winner and IS per cent to the
loser. Attell waived his demand of 5000
for his end of the purse. and this action
on the part of the champion was RESPONSE
BILE for the making of the match.
Moran is undoubtedly one of the best
little fighters that England has sent over
to this country. But notwithstanding this
fact, he may not be able to defeat the
champion. Attell is probably the clever
est fighter in the ring today, and besides,
he has a knockout punch in either hand.

COLLEGE SPORTS.

NEW HAVEN, Dec. 10.-Among Yale
men a statement of the completion OF the
proposed Yale-Harvard-Princet athletic
alliance is expected almost any time. 1t
is not believed that the new agreement will
take the form of a definite association or
league, but a general understanding on
eligibility qualifications and an agreement
for the three to meet annually in practi-
cally every branch of sport.
1t is expected at Yale that the agree
ment will include the entrance of Prince
ton into the annual boat races on the
Thames. Princeton representatives. have
approached Yale and have men on the
subject informally and ave been told
that the Tigers would be admitted to the
New London annual regatta. The Prince
ton men have stated that it would be i'm
possible for them to get crews ready tc
row at New London this year, but in an
other season the new Princeton navy
would be fully afioat.
Yale will welcome the proposed Harvard
Princeton football game and has been for
years trying to induce the Tiger and the
Crimson to agree to one. After the Har-
vard-Pennsylvania break, a year ago, nego-
~tiations were begun looking toward such
a contest, but the state of football at Har-
ward was very uncertain and the contest
could not be arranged.
Yale and Harvard nave often threatened
to withdraw from the Intercollegiate Track
Athletic Association and, II the proposed
triple alliance goes into effect, they may
do so and form an athletic association of
their own, holding their annual meets upon
the grounds of the three members.
1t Is understood that the reason Of the
failure of Yale and Harvard to renew their
general athletic agreement last February
after it lapsed was because of the injec-
ton into their relations of Princeton. The
proposed understanding will probably put
athletics on a firm and lasting basis be-
tween the trio.

Hockey Schedule.

With Newark Academy and Montclair
Military Academy in the fold the New
Jersey 1nterscholastie League would again
rank as one of the strongest schoolboy
organizations in the East. The stirring
contests on the field of sport some years
ago, when those academies matched their
strength against the league teams, are
well remembered and their entry would
now be all the more interesting, as both
Newark and Montclair have been at their
best in football and other sports since
friction caused athletic relations to be
severed.
At a meeting of the New Jersey Inter
scholastic League, held yesterday after
noon at the Montclair High School. it was
decided to Invite the Newark Academy
and Montclair Military Academy to join
the organization. To bring about such q
reconciliation would probably prove a diff
ficult task, for there has been a feeling
of enmity at the Newark Academy against
several of the schools, particularly New
ark High. Coach Mayser, of the local
academy, however. has intimated in the
past that he would like TO see his teams
meet the High School, especially now that
the wearers OF the red and black have
made so excellent a record in the various
branches of sport.
That, however. is only a personal incltna-
ton, and Mayser would scarcely permit Y
to interfere with the dictations Of the
school.
