JACK SULLIVAN

TT required just three Jacks in order
that Tom McCarey might call the
present light heavyweight fistic COM
bat which ne mas scheduled to occur
at Maud junction, March 26. Jack
Sullivan and Jack Palmer are to go
the merry route, while Jack OBrien,
the originator of individual supremacy,
remains as sort of advertising medium
for the others.
Back in Philadelphia O'Brien is pre-
pairing for a near trip to California.
Just to help out Palmer and Sully,
OBrien told them to pass along the
word that he feared the Briton and
passed him up to the bald headed man
from Boston.
There is this about Palmer. Yester-
day he worked at the East Side gym
nasium and his performance proved
surprise to every person that wit
messed him in action. Eddie Keevin
and others who have kept tab on Sui
livan and Palmer during the past four
years declare that whereas Sully has
not improved an iota, the Briton is
rapidly forging to the front.
Palmer works with his stout little
manager James Loves, who possesses
sufficient strength and agility to keep
the big fellow on his guard.
Leonard Lauder and Kid Barry will
meet for the first preliminary to the
Palmer-Sullivan go. 1t is said that
McCarey is considering a bout between
Frank Fields and Kenneth Woods, a
Denver man. Woods may be some
thing, but Frank Fields showed long
ago that he is not OF the calibre foI
which money gets its worth.

British crew that ever pulled in an
"eight," and all of them, except Powell
and Burn, rowed against Harvard last
September.
The race today was a procession
Cambridge got away with a stroke of
Al to Oxford's 40, and quickly pushed
the nose of their boat in front. BY
the time the half mile post was
reached Cambridge was we'll ahead
Passing under Hammersmith bridge,
Cambridge had lead of a length and
a quarter, and soon after that the
Cambridge boat was sufficiently clear
to cross the river and take OXford's
sheltered water.
Rough water at Chiswick, about two
and half miles from the starting
point, was troublesome to both crews.
Passing the three-mile post, Cam
bridge was from four to five lengths
in front and kept the lead to the end.
The Cambridge men were compara-
lively fresh at the finish, but several
of the Oxford crew were badly ex-
hausted
The official time was 20 minutes 26
seconds.
While some of the edge was taken off
the keenness of public interest by the
general opinion that the result of the
race was foregone conclusion, there
was little diminution in the size of the
crowds present. Masses of spectators
lined the banks of the Thames at all
points of vantage along the course,
and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed.

Here he stops to figure up how much
his third friend is ahead and you ask
him how "he" stands
well" he probably will say, "I
was ahead at one time, but they dis
qualified a horse that won, a jockey

bumped at the stretch turn"
Excuses, always, for not winning.
And it might be said that the bookies
leave behind more men supplied with
excuses than with money. Little is
said of the men and women who have
lost their all. Little is said of the
homes that have been saddened. Little
or nothing is said of the men who
have become criminals because of a
fondness for playing the races, but who

and possessed of a nice little bank ac-
count
But the bookies and the Jockeys and
the horse owners and racing officials
must live-aye, live on the fat of the
land, and some one must pay the fid-
dler. 1t always has been so and it
would be taking long chances to lay
a wager that it will not always con-
tinue to be so, for the sport of kings
must not die.

NEW ORLEANS, March 16.-Yankee
Girl, second choice in the betting, won
the City Park Derby at a mile and a
quarter today. Temaceo, winner of the
California Derby, was one of the horses
beaten, finishing outside the money.
The horses passed the grand stand
after the start with Sir Toddington two
lengths in front of his field, which fol-
lowed closely packed together In the
back stretch Judge Post held the rail
behind Sir Toddington and looked like
the contender, but Yankee Girl passed
outside of him and began to cut down
the pacemaker.
Sir Toddington was game, whirling
into the stretch with something TO
spare. Yankee Girls sprint was well
timed and well sustained, carrying her
length to the lead at the finish. Both
horses finished tired. Telling was third.

Harvard last fall by two lengths, to-

lengths over the same course, from
Putney to Mortlake, distance of about

The time, twenty minutes twenty-six

chances of beating the record over

The Oxfordians won the toss and
chose the Surrey side of the river,

A large crowd attended the races at

afternoon, as five favorites won. The
other event went to Redwood II, al

cheaper company.
A very poor lot faced the barrier in
the second ract, and Hazeline, the IA
vorite, allowed San Alvarado to set the
pace the first half, then came on and
won going away from him. Cavatina
was away badly, picked UP her field
one by one, and with an even break
might have given the winner stiff
argument. The others never shower
anything worthy of mention.
Redwood II repeated his good per-
formance of Thursday when he dashed
into an early lead in the third race and

ma, always clase to the pace and saw
ing ground on the rail all the way,
finished fast and outgamed Revolt for
the place money. Stoessel, the favor
ite, seems to have trained off, as he
did not show any speed. Bauble, heav-
lily played, had no excuses.
The feature event of the day was the
two-mile race for which Gold Spat and
Avontellus closed about equal favorites,
to 2. Adonis was always as good as
to 1. The others ranged in price from
- to 40 to 1. Roman Boy made the
pace for mile and a half, with Avon
tellus second, length in front of Gold
Spat. Avontellus then took the lead
for short distance only, when Gold
Spat went to the front and had to be
hand ridden to stall off Adonis, which
finished resolutely after trailing his
field the entire distance. Avontellus
was an easy third after Roman Boy
quit. The others were beaten off.
Gilpin made it three straight when
he captured the fifth race at to 10.
Boland took him to the front at once,
but at the end he had to ride him
hard to stall off Madden. The latter
hung a trife the last fifty yards under
a hard drive. Hi Caul Cap ran the
best race of his career and Ross nursed
the big horse along until the stretch,
where he finished fast and easily beat
Cotillion for the show honors. The
latter did not run her race and can do
better.
Barney Schneider made a big killing
on his Sain colt Tony Bonero, in the
sixth race Some were fortunate
enough to get 7 and to for their

in the knowledge of most of the reading public Of
this day. There perhaps was never more dramatic
scene enacted in any convention, State or National
and few dramatic scenes on any stage theatri-
cal otherwise than the parting of the ways" by
which the so-sty1ed Silver Republicans left their
party at the ST. Louis convention in 1896. Prior
to their departure from the convention room, there
was a dramatic scene in the committee on resolu-
tions which of course, the real occasion for
the bolt, by which tweny-six delegates to the con-
venton, silver men, took leave of the convention
and their party
The SCnitar's scrap books contain the following
clipping from The Chronicle of ST. Louis, Mo-, under
date June 49, 1896, under the following heading:
SILVER'S LAST PLEA
The scene in the meeting of the committee on
resolutions when the silver entered their pro-
test against the adoption in the platform of gold
standard plank, is one that will furnish writers of
American history with material for chapter to
tain more of sentiment than is usually found in
scenes enacted in the glare of the public gaze.
The earnest plea of the silver men showed how
loath they were to leave the party with which they
had affiliated for so many years Cannon of Utah
shed tears when he that the action Of his fellow
members on the committee would leave him no
alternative except to eXpatrlae himself from the
party for which he had labored, and which had
shared all his thoughts and his hopes. 1t to
Cannon like the death of dear friend. He had
nothing to gain by leaving the party, and he had
everything to lose Sef-interest whispered to him
to remain loyal to the party to swallow the nauseous
dose his of right insisted sacrificing every
thing for principle. There was heroism in the act
of Cannon and his comrades.
Tellers valedicory, spoken in the convention just
before he and his following left that body told the
story.
1--WE hold" he said, "that this convention has Sc
coded from the truth Dear has been the Repub
1ican to its adherents, that is not
he faith ends we
will not lend ourselves"
Their faith, what they considered eternally right
was the impelling that led the silver men to
walk out of the convention They sacrificed personal
advantage for what they were plainly convinced
right Hannas promises of patronage fell on deaf
ears

This is especially with those who have been
