NEGRO PUGIL1ST IS FETED in PARIS

writes as follows: This is surely a hot

Is that it's too good to last. Fighting
clubs are springing up all over Paris. The
promoters are fighting among themselves
and knocking each other in the different
papers, and there seems to be chance
that the authorities will cut into the
game before very long. But it's sure good
now.

Jewey Smith. I was in Burns corner sec

And that's what he did. He played with
Smith, and he would occasionally drop

Sam McVey. the big Los Angeles mig

NEW YORK, May 9.-No figure in the
world of athletics is attracting more at
tention than that of John @. Garrels. the
great all-around athlete of the Univer-
sity Of Michigan. Many times the ath-
letic experts have racked their brains
trying to figure out whether or not Gar
rels is a greater all-around man than
Martin Sheridan, the hero of Athens.
Now all agree that In the individual
events Garrels has better marks than the
local policeman. but to go through the
ten events in two hours. and stand up
under the strain as Sheridan does. that's
another matter. If neither Garrels nor
Sheridan disapponts the populace OF
Pittsburg June -, the long -discussed
question will be decided in the city OF
smoke On that day. when they meet in
specially arranged all-around match.
The 1900 who saw the Pennsy relay
races were sorely disappointed when Gar
rels did not put in an appearance, for
ii had been widely advertised that the
Michigan wonder would compete in the
hurdles shot and discus events. Re
ports were sent out to the effect that
Garrels had left his job a Union Pa
cific railroad mechanic and had gone back
to Ann Arbor 10 train under keene FitZ-
patrick. AS this move took place only
a few weeks ago. likely enough Garrels

tition so soon after the start of his train

GOTCH CRITICISED
| FOR MAT TACTICS
Hackenschmidt Tells of Treat
ment Received in the Cham
pion Wrestling Bout.

LONDON, May 9.-American athletics
and athletes, both professional and anna
tour, have always been more or less I'M
popular IN England. and the average Eng
lsh follower of sport has rarely failed to
take a fall' out Of them whenever the
slightest chance presented. The latest
criticism has had considerable foundation
in the recent wrestling match between
George Hackenschmidt and Frank Gotch
in Chicago. The Russian lion is a great
favorite in England, where most Of his
wrestling triumphs have been consum-
mated. and his adherents were much in
censed when they heard Of the treatment
that Hackenschmidt had received at the
hands Of the American champion. The
Russian, however, proved q good sports
man. for despite much quizzing he made
a most conservative statement when in

men are greatly pleased at the report that
the famous ArgOnaut Rowing Club crew

senior eight-Oared crews that won in the

The boats will be held in England for

June and have the benefit OF month S

Joe Wright has had the Argonauts in
hard practice during the winter, and sew
eral who will go over were in the crew
that tried for the Grand Challenge cup at
Henley last year. All are thoroughly
seasoned scullers. and i. would be no
