Cincinnati, Ohio, Jan lS.-The national

resolutions presented by the American
Association at that time. Regarding the
request that a club be allowed in Chicago

SOLDIER BURNS WILL AGREE.
To Allow Kid Sullivan to Have His
Way About Weight.

Special 20 The Washington Herald.
Baltimore. Nd. Jan. 1S.-Soldier Burns.
the local lightweight, does not think IA
vorable of the statement made by Kid
Sullivan. Of Washington, regarding the
weight for their ffteen-round battle be-
fore the Eureka Athletic Club next Thurs
day night at the Germania 4IaenneTchor
Hall.
Sullivan came to the front on Thursday
with a statement that Burns must weigh
in at l33 pounds in fighting togs. This,
Burns claims, is not legitimate, as in a
majority of battles where such an agree
ment was made the principals weighed in
stripped. However. if Sullivan insists on
the weight to be under that stipulation,
Burns would rather give in than to lose
a chance to get into the ring with the
Washington boxer. as he is sanguine that
he can turn the trick on Sullivan before
the fifteenth round is reached
While the weight Of the match has been
the bone of contention between the box
ers since the articles of agreement were
drawn up, il is expected that Burns and
Sullivan will get their heads together
shortly and reach a final decision just
how they viii fight.
For his training for the mill Sullivan
has at last obtained the services Of
Tommy Lowe, the well-known Washing
ton lightweight. Lowe is expected to
prove 8 valuable addition to the camp
of Sullivan. as Lowe is conceded to be
one Of the cleverst men in the East
though Sullivan has the distinction of
beating him in eight rounds. Every day
until the day Of the contest Lowe will
box with Sullivan.

TRACKPROSPECTSA BRIGHT
Twenty-Five Candidates in Training
on Georgetown Squad.
Dr. Reilly Institutes New System of
WOrk-FitEgeruId and SpauIding
Showing Well i'm Jumps.

Yesterday marked the close Of the first
weeks work of the track squad at
Georgetown. Considering the time that
will elapse before many of them get a
chance to show their worth, the size Of
the squad is eminenty satisfactory to
those having this department in charge
Although it was thought that the team
this year would be much larger than last
year, still it was not anticipated that at
this early date such a number of candl-
dates would have reported.
Yesterday the team totaled twenty-five
men, and as yet there are men in the
departments from downtown who are still
to report. Chief among these are Nc
Donald, the former Central High School
shot-putter; Griffin Mudd, who was on
the relay team two years ago; Roach
who showed 10 good advantage on the
football squad in getting around the ends
fast, and Joe Courtney, the fast little
outfielder of the baseball team. All these
men hail from the law school, but, not
to be outdone in helping along the agita-
ton which has been started throughout
the whole university, the medical school
will furnish a good man in the person Of
Jeffs, who, three years ago, was a star
on the Georgetown prep team.
The invitation which was received from
Columbia University, for Georgetown to
run against Wesleyan. and probably
Brown and F0rdham, has practically been
accepted. and, barring unforeseen happen
ings. this will be Georgetown's first trip
Dr. Reilly is instituttng a system new
TO the local followers of track work in
this city. 1t is his intention to have the
candidates for the relay team run in
relays every Sunday morning on the track
at the college. and hopes thereby to get
a better line on his men, and also figures
that II viii prove valuable to those who
have not had any experience. The track
is admirably adapted for this kind of
work, measuring eighty yards straighta-
way, which makes it l16 yards to each lap
almost as much as Convention Hall, and
for sprints being even better. as there is
a good fifty-yard straightaway with thirty
yards of a let-up.
Ryan gymnasium has been placed at the
disposal of the Jumpers and weight men,
and every day good field has been out
for these events. Ed Fitzgerald is show
ing great promise In the high Jump, and
he together with Spaulding, who Is also
running the half mile. are the neuclus
around which DR.. Reilly hopes TO mold
his team In this branch OF the sport.
1t is expected that the entry blanks
VIII be sent out this week. and every
Tbig one" in the country will be invited.
As yet nothing has been definitely settled
as regard the relay matches. but word 10
this effect is expected this week.

he was in position to score on a long

Another play DOnlin had worked up
was when some infelder held the ball
with the view of keeping the runner on

IL slide fast to first. If DOnlin could
get there just as he passed the first
baseman he would give him a slight
shoulder jog. just enough to throw him

To the plate. That jog was enough to
let the runner over standing up.
In the field we worked up another

with Donlin playing first base, there
would be a runner there. Our infelder

returned to the ring last night at the
Industrial Boxing Club, and lost the de-

the whole route, and it was due to his
lack of aggressiveness which enabled him
