MATCH FAILS
Jack Noonan, Who offered
$4,000 Purse for Event
Non Est.
FIGHTERS ON DECK
Both Appear to Rendezvous at Ap-
pointed Hour But Pr3noter
Does not Materialize.

The Burns-Sehreck match has fallen
through. thanks to Jack Noonan, cham
pion prestidigitator of Nevada and said
to be the only man in the world that
can juggle a whole barrel Of lemons
at one time.
Noonan failed utterly to keep his
appointment with Burns and Schreck
and their advisers at Brooke's casino
last night and close the match, which
was to take place at Tonopah on July
and for which the prestidigitatOr
had offered a purse of $4,000.
Noonan had agreed to post a certi
fed check for the full amount of the
purse, and the fighters had each
agreed to post a forfeit of $4,000. This
agreement was modified, however. by
the fighters. each agreeing to post
$1,000. while they were satisfied to al
low Noonan to come in with $4,000 in
stead of posting such a large amount
The prestidigitator, however, failed
to come across with his, and at a late
hour last night could not be located.
Whether or not he is still in town Will
not be known until today. Meanwhile
Burns and Schreck have about given
up all hope of getting together and
doubt Noonans authority to close the
match in behalf of the Casino Athletic
club of Tonopah. anyway.
Noonan Burns, Schreck and Billy
Hogan, Schreck's manager, were to
have met at the Casino at 9 o'clock
and post the necessary forfeits. Burns
and Hogan were there each with $1,000
in cash. They waited two hours for
the prestidigitator, but he never show
ed, nor did he send word that he was
not coming.
With the TonOpah deal apparently in
the air, Burns and Billy Gee, his for
mer manager, got together and patch
ed up their differences. Gee claimed
Burns owed him $500 and had attach
ed Tommy's share of the picture re-
ceipts. Burns settled and was releas-
ed. The two then shook hands and
again are on friendly terms.
Tommy Mowatt. returning from
Minneapolis without visible signs of
any damage from his battle with Jim
Potts, reports that he was handed a
lemon of specially brilliant hue-ex-
actly the same lemon that was given
Kid Mccoy when he fought Tommy
Ryan at Syracuse several years ago.
In this game the police interfere
when the local man is either being
beaten by the outsider or when he has
an advantage over the visitor. In one
case they save him from defeat and in
the other they gain him a snapshot de-
csion.
When the Minneapolis officers jump
ed in Tom says he was going well and
Potts advantage was only momentary.
Mowatt viii today deposit $500 as a
forfeit to meet Jimmy before any club
that will offer the slightest financial
| inducements for the battle.

OLIVER IS DISAPPOINTED
Says the President Assured His
Friends That He Would Get the
Isthmian Contract.

Washington, Feb. ga number of
kilograms has been received at the
White House from the south asking
the president 10 name W. ]. Oliver.
whose bid for the construction of the
canal was rejected, as member of
the isthmian canal commission. Oliver
said that he would not accept a place
on the commission If it were rendered
him. His experience so far with the
canal has cost him $40,o00-that being
his expenses in preparing his bid and
organizing a construction company.
Only last Thursday he said. 1.-The
president assured my friends that I
would be given the contract, and he
went SIS far as to say that he would
be down in Panama next November
and said that lie was confident that
by the time we would have the work
well under way"

Talking From Stratas.

and that we talk sometimes from one

Send a Roosevelt Delegation to
the Convention of 1908.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-The first en-
dorsement of President Roosevelt for
the Republican presidential nomina-

FEATHERWEIGHT CHAMPION.

There is an assertion to the effect
that Young Corbett was no feather
weight because he beat McGovern at
126 pounds. weigh in five hours before
the bout. instead of at the alleged
limit ef 122 pounds, ringside.
II that proposition IS correct, then
McGovern was never featherweight
champion. for when he won from Dix
on the weight was lis pounds ring
side. It's a poor rule that will not
work both ways. and if fighter can
not win the title at 126 pounds, he can
not win at us Therefore, Corbett
and McGovern never held the title.
and in order to determine who is the
featherweight champion it will be
necessary to go back and find out what
boxer beat Dixon at 122 pounds. ring
side. The chances are that nobody ever
beat him at that weight, and there
fere Dixon it still the champion. OF
course that is an absurdity. but no
more so than the proposition that a
championship cannot change hands ex-
cept ct ringside weight, which has no
basis in precedent or rule What is
true Of the featherweight class applies
to every division Of pugilism below
heavyweight. There are nc arbitrary
weights in existence. and the alleged
ringside limits have been honored only
in the breach.

STATUS OF MARRIED WOMEN
How They Stand When They Are Wild
ows of Foreigners or OF Foreign
Birth Themselves.

Washington, Feb. IS. - The ex-
patriation bill passed by the senate
fixes the status of citoyennes Of the
United States who are married to for
eigners and of foreign women who are
married to United States citizens. IN
the latter case the United States citi-
zenship of the wife Is retained during
coverture. and as long as she con-
tinues to live in the United States.
A cheyenne of the United States
can regain her citizenship after her
marriage to a foreigner terminates,
and she makes the proper application
therefor. The bill provides that nat
uralized citizen of the United States
who goes abroad and resides for five
years shall be presumed to have aban-
doned his United States citizenship.

NEW ORLEANS TRACK
MAY BE CLOSED NEXT YEAR.
Report from Louisiana City Says That
Adverse Legislation May BE Enact
ed Before Next Winter.

A horseman who has just arrived in
New York from New Orleans says that
it will not be at all surprising If the
Fair Grounds and City Park are closed
by legislation before next winter. He
says that the politicians who control
the outlaw track known as Suburban
Park, at Algiers, have found COM
bination to get through a bill in the
Louisiana legislature that will kill
racing in that state. He also states
that the foreign influence that domin-
ate the racing at the big New Orleans
tracks have made many enemies and
that the task of squaring accounts will
not be delayed much longer.

FOOTBALL SAFE AT HARVARD
President Eliot Declares for it-Report
VIII BE Out Soon.

Cambridge, Mass, Feb. 2S-Football
will be played at Harvard next fall.
President Eliot in an interview today
said:
No one for a long time has pro-
posed to step intercollegiate athletics
at Harvard. Last year some people
wanted either to stop football or
change 1t. Football has been changed,
and SO far as I can see 1t will go on
as usual at Harvard next fall. The
special investigation committee which
was appointed some time ago has
rendered two reports, a majority re
port and a minority report. As yet I
have seen only the majority report"
DO not the newspapers and under
graduates in general believe that the
future of football is in very unset
tied condition." President Eliot was
asked.
Yes they do" he replied. and there
thew all err. Football has not been
singled out for special consideration
any more than other branches of
sport"
President Eliot said he did not care
to comment upon President RooseveIts
views concerning football, as expressed
in his speech at the Harvard Union on
Saturday.
When asked if he intended to reply
in any way TO President Roosevelts
speech. President Eliot said: NO, most
certainly not see no reason why there
should be any reply"
"As fer those-ah, what did he all
them ?-mollycoddles. I have as little
liking or respect as he has" President
Eliot continued. 1 have always criti-
eised the abuses of football and do yet

Congratulated Aluminium.

A process Of plating aluminium with
copper by welding methods has been
invented in Germany by Herr Wach-
nitz. This is regarded as important
because one Of the obstacles TO a
wider use Of aluminium has been its
comparative lack of resistance to the
action of many fluids and its failure
to hold paint. These objections are re-
moved when it is covered with a thin
plating of copper, while its weight is
act materially increased.
