Johnny o'Donnell, the red-headed stock yards kid who has been attend ing to everybody in that section was given tryout yesterday. He proved to be much smaller than had been supposed, weighing only 125 pounds with all his clothes on. Nobody could be found of his weight and Eddie Kenny took him on.
 Eddie was requested to hit hard and show the youngster the strenu- ousness of the game and he did so. When 1t was all over, everybody in the place-Prof o'ConnelPs gym declared that another McGovern had been unearthed in the redtopped boy.
 He looks like veritable wonder at ll5 pounds and will be nursed along carefully for the fall season.
 With Joe Cans reported on the way to San Francisco to force Nell son to fight him again" for Tex Rick ards s40,000 purse, the reported match scheduled for the Dane and Jimmy Britt on July 31 is in eclipse. Of course the Pacific coast men of sport would rather see Cans in the ring with Nelson, and so long as there is a possible chance for this interest in the Britt-Nelson proposed fight will lag.
 Billy Nolan's position, too, on the weight question has 'em all guessing here.
 For many months the Battler and his manager yelled and howled about l33, ringside. with fighting togs on. Now, 1t appears, Nelson has sudden ly grown heavier. and they want nothing but 133 at o'elock-possi- bly l34 or 1855.

THE PUGILlSTS
BURNS MAY GO
 TO AUSTRALIA
Has Named the Terms at Which He Will Meet Squires Again n
 Other Fight News.

There is more than a Likelihood ol
 Tommy Burns making trip to Aus
 tralia to fight Bill SQuires on the Antipodean's native heath. Many people believe with Barney Reynolds that overconfidence on Squires part lost him the battle.
 Reynolds and Burns met in Cof- froth's office and during the discus sion Reynolds said to Burns:
 You won squarely, but it might have been different if Squires had got set"
 "I'll give him a chance" said Burns. "I'll go over to Australia if the proper inducements are offered. What do you think we would draw over there?" '.s
 You would draw very we'll in Australia" said Reynolds. T mean by that you would draw as much there as you did at Colma. We would have a much larger crowd, but the prices, of course. would be smaller, but l should jude the aggregate would be about the same as we had here"
 T believe in knowing what I am doing answered Burns. If you Australians will give me a guarantee of $l0,0O0, and pay the expenses there and back for myself and Prof Lewis, my trainer, l will go over to Australia and fight Squires instead of going to England, as I have plan- ned.'
 Reynolds then wanted to know if these were Burns final terms. The Canadian replied that they were. Reynolds has already cabled to Wren, Squires' packer in Australia, and if a favorable reply is received, Burns will probably go to Australia.
 Jack Johnson has been offered fight with Tommy Burns if he suc- ceeds in knocking out Fitzsimmons clean" Jim Coffroth, who handled the match between Burns and Squires has so wired the big black. That makes the contest between Fitzsom- mons and Johnson more interesting. They are to meet on the night of July IT at Billy McCarney's Wash ington Sporting club in Philadelphia. Johnson has been shouting that the white heavyweights of the country were afraid of him. Now, however, that Burns has put Squires away so easily he has more confidence in himself and he will give the negro chance. Besides the contest would prove very remunerative to both and Burns is as anxious as any one else to put away money while he is young.

New York. Feb. Pc II. Harrl'
man. master OF the Union Pacific sys-
tenn. gave a recital Of portions OF the
intimate history OF the financial ODer'
ations Of himself and his associates
before the interstate commerce com
mission which, in behalf OF the United
| States government. is investigating
consultations and combinations OF
carriers relations between carriers ana
community OF interest therein, their
rates. facilities and practices. Special
counsel for the government made par
ticular attack upon the reorganiza-
| ton and financing OF the Chicago
Alton railroad by the Hartman syn
dictate and their action with a chal-
lenge by counsel for the railroads OF
the rights Of the interstate commerce
commission to inquire into the pri'
vate transactions OF an individual con
stituted the two important events OF
the days proceedings.
BY direction OF counsel Mr.. Harri-
man declined 10 tell what proportion
OF the preferred stock Of the Alton
sold 10 the Union Pacific belonged to
him individually. and the way was
paved for taking the question into the
federal courts. The point raised in
wolves material limitation upon the
inquisitorial power Of the commission
and is OF serious choice to the whole
question of interstate corporation in
vestigation.
There was an effort to show hy lar-
rimans testimony and the records Of
the company that there had been an
enormous imitation OF the stock securi-
ties and liabilities Of the Alton. that
| the Hartman syndicate had taken I'M
fair profits by declaring dividend OF
80 per cent from the proceeds OF the
| hrst sale OF bonds amounting TO $40
| 600. O0O that the syndicate had sold
Itself the bonds at an unreasonably
low figure only 10 resell them al enor-
nous profit: that the Hartman syndi-
cate had in the Alton capitalized the
| losses OF former stockholders in the
road. and the money which had been
spent by the old management for bet
terments over a period Of 10 years and
already charged 10 operating expenses
that the books OF the company had
been doctored. and that for an increase
OF the stock and liabilities from
roughly SiOOOOO0O to about $4,000
OOO. Their was nothing to show except
an expenditure Of S22.OOO000 in i'm
provements on the property.
Mr.. Harrlman's testimony was a de-
NAL ~ all the charges and he made
an extended explanation and defense
Of the entire transactions. which no
contended was fully justified by the
conditions and circumstances OF the
time. and which he asserted had been
conducted entirely in The open. Har-
riman's examination lasted for five
hours. and IL went 10 the end in good
spirit unmarked by acrimony. Thu
witness declined to be led into an at
tempt to explain the details OF tho
Alton operations. and constantly re-
ferred his qucstioner 10 the records OF
