OLYMPIC GAMES TROUBLES.
Athletes Will Not Take Part in Meet France Notifies England That Her

NJ. Duvignau de Lanneau, presi- dent of Union Societes French Sports Athletique. the governing body of sports in France. is responsible for the statement that the French athletes will be absent from the big international meet next year in Lon- don. The Frenchman has gone st far as to officially notify the Rev R.. $. de Courcy Laffan, secretary of the British Olympic association, that the French absolutely refuse to have a hand. act or part in the British olympiad. No definite cause can be assigned for this backdown of the Frenchmen. but there is a report that the French are upset because they were not consulted with regard to the arrangement of the fixture Baron Pierre de Coubertin. who planned the first revival fin 1896. was left out in the cold and he is going to make trouble for somebody.
 NJ. C. Marinaki, who for some time has been Bpitish secretary to the Greek Olympic committee. has re- signed his post. His place will be taken by Theodore Andrea Cook. It was through Marinski's effort that the English team went to Athens last spring.
 The athletic trouble in Ireland has not been smoothed over. At the an- nuals convention of the Gaelic A. A. held recently the boycottins rule was not withdrawn and no heed was paid to a request of the Irish A. X. A. for conference to settle the squsbble. If the muddle is not straightened out before next year the best of the lrish- men will be barred from the big olympic meet. and therefore England will lose a good many points.

POLO WHITES.

New Britain tonight. ;,
 There will be no seats reserved foe the visitors.
 Get down early because the New Britain management says special train is coming with i've hundred rooters.
 We must win tonight if we have to get out on the floor ourselves and pull a leg or two out of the visitors. It won't do to have the two leaders beat us In the one week.
 The Bridgeport papers are smear ing taffy all over their polo players and perhaps they deserve all the good things that are being said about them. but look out it don't make them too important.
 They are losing money in some of the teams in the west. but sooner than lose their star players, the suc- cessful teams are helping out the others in financial way.
 New Britain will storm the city tonight. just as Bridgeport did. but we are in hopes that they will not te. turn home ss 1oyfully as did Bridge port. It will be just as fast a gaI1o as was the one on Tuesday evening and perhaps little more exciting if anything.
 The special train will leave New Britain tonight at t;.J0 and will prolps ably arrive herr about eight o'clock. The fans should be sure and get td the rink around eight or little be- fore. or they will find the New Bfits air rooters occupying seats wherever, they can find them. {,

THE PUGILlSTS
ANOTHER YARN ON JEFFRlES
It is Said He is Broke and Must Fight Again No Use For
 Hasbeens.

Jeffries is the subject of the latest fight news from the far west. The press agent has it now that Jeff is broke and that he is compelled to go after whatever is offered in the shape of purse. The last time there was report of Jeff needing money 1t was that he contemplated buying valu- able addition to his ranch and little prize ring money would come in very handy.
 The scandal this time is that Jeff has been bucking the tiger and that Mrs Jeff has shut down on his draw ing any more money from the home stead. It Is even intimated that he has given up the ranch for city life. and has gone pace that makes him need the money.
 It may be that the big fellow has declared all intention of fighting again, but everybody is pretty we'll convinced that he knows where he is going to sleep tonight. He never cut a very wide swath as spend- thrift, and unless he is a greatly changed Jeff there are still several large iron dollars, earned in the ring, safely slowed away.
 It would be but natural for him to fight Bill Sqnires if the Australian comes over, and, in fact, he has re- peatedly said that he would provided that Squires was of championship quality. Press agents have frequent ly placed the big champion in ridic- ulous light. but after 1t is all sifted down he has done just about what he promised at every jump in the road. He has said that he would defend his title against any foreigner, and he has said that he would never go into the ring with negro.
 Tommy Burns has resurrected Young Griffo. the Australian pugilist, as a sparring partner. Griffo has been leading a wild life of dissipa- tion for years. but he is now said to have reformed. He has been com mitted on several occasions to insane asylums and has been arrested many times for intoxication. But in spite of all these excesses it is said that he still possesses much of the old box ing skill which made him famous fif- teen years ago. When Griffo first came to this country he was pro- nounced by ring experts the greatest boxer in the world. His bouts with Kid Lavigne, Frank Erne, George Dixon and other first-class pugllfsts were sensational in the extreme. He was never knocked down in any of them, yet he failed to inflict much | punishment, as he was compara- lively light hitter. At one time Griffo offered to bet that he could stay six rounds with James J. Cor. bett, but when the latter was ap. preached regarding the bout he de clined with thanks, as Corbett ex- plained that he never could catch Griffo if he should adopt the usual running tactics. ... | Bob Fitzsimmons, who could once dictate terms to boxing promoters has been turned down by Philadel. phia club manager. who recently no tified Fitz that purse would not be offered for bout with Tomm, Burns. This information was ac. companied by the statement that back numbers would not draw flies | ls t-f-
