WHEN BETTING
Official Statement of
Age, Height, Weight,
and Big Bouts.

John L. Sullivan's appearance in
Washington at the Lyceum this week
has revived the usual number Of queries
about his principal fights and his age
To settle these bets in advance il
may be said that Sullivan was born in
Boston on October Is, 1858, so that he
Will be forty-nine years old October is
1907.
HIS height is feet IO1k inches. but
because of his bulky build he appears
about three inches taller. and most per
sons imagine he is at least. six feet. He
figures he could train off forty pounds,
which would bring him down 10 what

more will join him, making a total OF
twenty-One.
Griffith has brought Hickey. the
promising young catcher obtained from
St Louis. to terms. and he will wear
a New York uniform for the first time
at Cleveland. Happy jack Chesbro,
who has been induced 70 return 10 the
diamond. viii also join the club in
Cleveland.
"Chesbro Is lighter this year than I
have ever see n him. and he says his arm
is in better shape than II has been for
two years" said Clark Griffith yester-
day afternoon. Il sent big Jim MCGUIRE
up 10 ChesbFC's home a week ago to
work out with Jack every day, and II
the weather warns UP I expect Ches-
bro will be pretty near in shape to go
in and help uS win some games on this
Western trip.
Manager Griffith Is delighted because
the big pitcher has returned TO the fold,
and with his team playing good ball he
expects TO set fast pace. Griffith also
had much praise for the work Of Danny
Hoffman. and predicted the greatest
season Of his career for Toledo Dan"
Regarding the present American
League race. Griffith said he expected
to see il closer than the one last year,
which was about the hottest In the his
tory Of the league.

LS6eH an Exception

There is a theory among a good
many baseball people that a man
who stands close up TO the plate.
holds his bat about a third Of the
way UP from tie end, and takes
a short swing at the ball is pretty
sure TO be a good hitter, while a
batter who stands far back from
the plate. holds his club by the ex-
irene end. and takes a long swing
viii never make a success of bat
ting.
As a general thing. this propo-
sition works out pretty well. Willie
Keller. probably the cIeverest
batter in the country, has a little
short bat that he grips about the
middle. and chops savagely. Doz-
ems Of other good hitters stand
close to the plate and use the short
swing.
But what becomes Of the rule
when one watches the way The ball
is banged around the lot by Frank
Isbell. one OF the most dangerous
hitters in the business.
Izzy stands away back. witt his
bat clutched at the extreme end.
and takes a swing like a Chinese
eXecUtioncr.

Los ANGELES. Cal. May S.-Despite
the rumors that big chunks Of Burns
money are being dumped on the betting
market at the eleventh hour. II looks
as though Jack O'Brien VIII 20 into the
ring a favorite over the chunky Cana
dian tonight
Considering that the majority thought
Burns had a wee shade the better of The
milling in the last affair. one might be
inclined 20 say that this was peculiar.
As a matter OF fact. the followers Of
pugilism, who are often whimsical IN
their ideas, have employed logic this
time installing -O'Brien first choice. It
may prove. OF course. TO be false logic
at that
Where 0'BIien Is Better Now.
Here is the way the thing is reasoned
out:
O'Brien entered the ring last time with
a crippled left elbow. which became
worse as the fight progressed. During
the contest he received a fierce smash
between the eyes. which, had he been
less tricky, and clever would have left
him at Burns mercy. Now the fact
that Burns could not finish O'Brien. who
mad p bad arm and who was knocked
dizzy. IS used as an argument that
. Brien with two good arms. more
weight, and the dearly bought knowledge
that Buyns Occa slonally speeds wander
ing waltOp that IL is well to avoid is sure
10 use his ring generalship and science
TO good purpose. and defeat Burns IN
this second meeting.
I have referred 10 O'Bricn's increa sed
weight. 1 have not seen him on the
scales out am Credibly informed THAI
he W-ghs fully I6i pounds stripped.
whereas he barely kicked the beam at
leo g the last fight
Considering everything. from an i'm
partial standpoint, O'Brien seems the
logical favOrite for toniEht's battle.
which, however. promises to be a hot
contest from start 10 finish.

GEORGETOWN SECOND CREW

Murray and Dowd-Prep- Technical Race on May
27-Moran StoDS Rowing.

The personnel Of the Georgetown
crews has been materially changed dur

the Improvement Of the Fights will war

are TO be rowed this spring. The slump
Of the second crew which occurred the
first OF last week has been remedied
by a complete reorganization Of the
boat
The Annapolis affair is regretted by
all connected with aquatics at George
town. Had there been a second crew
at the time the race was arranged for.
The men would surely have made the
trip, but the truth Of the matter was
there were not eight men who could
be sent over 70 compete. Sickness
caused two of the oarsmen to give up
the strenuous exercise for the time be-
ing, which. when combined with The
laid up with injuries, makes George
towns cancellation Of the race seem all
the more justifable.
Props Grievance Against Navy.
The action Of Annapolis in being so
wrought Cd over the situation was a
surprise 70 the local school. and has
caused considerable hard feeling to
spring up between the Two institutions

Changes in Second Eight.
Coach Russell has reorganized the sec

has been elected captain Of the crew,
and he has had his men well in hand
for the past three days. Woods has
been rowing on the Georgetown Fights
Tor the past three years. AMI the men
feel sure he viii be able to lead them
through the season with success.
Murray and DOwd have been moved
from the varsity boat to the second
eight, and this alone will considerably
strengthen the rowing powers OF the
crew. Al TiEhe, who has been stroking
the varsity boat for the past three
weeks. is now pulling the stroke oar for
the Henley crew and Captain Woods Is
at No. 6. The makeup OF the rest Of
the crew is the same as before, with
Benziger ar No. ), Fitzpatrick at No. 4.
Tom Stewart AZ No. 2. and Chapman at

Varsity Strengthened.
Since the return OF Stroke Fitzgerald

rowing with more vim and the ;i:g.y
trials on the river this week have been
equal 10 those of last year. Two new
men, Cronin and Reilly, have been
placed I'm the VARSITY boat this week and
will be given thorough try-outs for n
month or more The former is rowing
at No. aud the latter at bow.
Lenus Moran. who has been rowing
No all spring, has given up the game
