WRESTLING
JOE ROGERS ]. AND RUSSIAN
Match All Arranged and Will Take Place in London This Month
 Other News.

5 London, Jan 15.-George Hacken- schmidt has finally yielded to the sug- gestions of sporting writers and sportsmen in general and consented that his wrestling match with Joe Rogers for the championship title Of the world shall take place in London instead of Manchester, as he had first stipulated. To do this and not con- flict with his theatrical engagements the bout has been postponed until Thursday, January 30. The struggle or the mat will take place in Oxford music hall.
 The change in date and place is gratifying to Tom O'Rourke, manager for Rogers, who figures that the ad- ditional time will give Rogers oppor- tunity to train as he should for an important match, upon which the worlds championship title hinges.
 The decision to have the match de- cided in London instead of Man chester means increased door re- ceipts- q big factor for both princi- pals. Rogers is steadily gaining in favor here, as reports filter in from Wembley house, Middlesex, where the American Apollo is training, under the guidance of O'Rourke. Americans in London are evincing keen inter- est in the approaching match, and will likely risk considerable coin on the American athlete when he steps on the mat January 30.

NEW HAVEN ON TOP.

New Haven, Jan 15.-The New Haven five were in grand form anu their team work and splendid de- fense were far superior to any ex- hibited at McLay's rink this season.
 It took over eleven minutes for the first score of the evening and then our good friend Farrell sent one of his long drives into the neI and the crowd yelled itself hoarse. All during the second period neither side found possible chance to score. Hart was knocked down in the second period and scraped his knee. Saunders and Hart became mixed up in variegated polo omelet which took Red Rorty some time to set them right. It looked from the press box as if the strap to Saun- ders's polo stock was around Hart's ankle and Hart's polo stick rammed down Saunders's throat, but it may not have been so.
 The last period was corker. Lin- coin scored goal for Boston which tied the score. Then Bone landed the winning goal in a, little over three minutes. With about ten min utes to play neither side scored and the game was New Haven',. The

CRICKET AND BASE BALL.
Hooters for Each Sport Take a Diff
 ferent View.

Archie Gum, who besides being al artist of international fame is a fam ous cricketer, was commenting on the relative merits of cricket and base ball.
 When a batsman knocks out a long fly in our cricket matches" said Archie, "and the fielder runs after it. misjudges it and finally doesn't get near it, our British fans clap their hands and cry:--
 Well tried, old chap! Blooming we'll tried!
 When a fielder in baseball game almost breaks his neck to get under a fly that isn't within half a mile of him, and eventually gets near enough to have it break one of his fingers. but he can't hold it. as how could he, under the circum- stances?-your rooters yell and scream:-
 Kill the buml He's a piece of cheese. He couldn't pick an apple out of a barrel
 Its astounding, isn't it? I can't for the life of me see what in the world cheese has to do with it. And let me tell you, it's a very different matter to catch long fly and to pick an apple out of a barrel. I know, for I've done both"
 The one bet that Archie has over looked is that the attitude of the fan toward his national game is the reason for the difference between baseball and cricket.
 Tn the lexicon of the baseball fielder there's no such thing as Well tried" It's Get there, and get there sure" If by any chance a crieketer were to catch a fly ball an aroused and grateful British public would pension the guy for life.

THE SPORTING NEWS.
THE PRELIMINARY GAME.

The preliminary game, while it was good in spots last evening, was one sided so far as the South Ends were concerned. Brooklyn outplayed them at every point, although one goal credited to the boys from over the bridge was kicked in accidentally by Johnson of the South Ends. Clark was right on to his job in front of the Brooklyn cage and whenever they did come his way his eagle eye detected them in time to get his feet in work ing order for block. Brooklyn scored three times while the South Ends could do nothing. The lineup and summary:

BITS OF SPORT.
Culled From the Columns of Our Busy Exchanges.

Major Taylor, of Worcester, the former professional bicycle sprint champion and holder of many records on this and the other side of the wat CT, has announced that he will again mount the wheel. He has started in training in Boston. Taylor is rather heavy, but as soon as he gets into shape he will be matched against Joe Fogler, Iver Lawson and Frank Kramer. It has been a couple of years since Taylor has done any rid ing in this country.
 What is claimed to be the first somersault ever accomplished by a ski rider was performed recently by John Rugg of Duluth. Using a pair of 12 foot skis, Rugg came down the long new haul of the Duluth Ski Club, and reaching the bump turned complete somersault in the air. landed on his skis and completed the slide without falling. He repeated the trick later in the day. It is said to be the first time such a feat was ever accomplished on skis. and ski jumpers are astounded at the mans courage anu Shlil.
 One of the best handless pool play CTS in this country is Hiram r. Staudt of Reading, Pa. who lost both hands six years ago while put ting up electric lights in a Reading factory when the dynomo exploded. He holds the cue with his two arms and lets if rest on the tablp He has run as high as 12 balls and never uses bridge to make a difficult shot. One of his remarkable feats is shoot ing with the cue back of his back to make a ball which is lying close to the side of the table. He finds no trouble in setting up the balls despite the fact that he cannot handle them.
