FRASER SAYS BATES
WILL BE A FACTOR,

Lewiston, Me-, April Capt. Fraser
of the Bates track team has issued a
call to the men to go into active train
ing for the track season. No man
found wanting in the spirit of good
training will be allowed place on the
team. Fraser says the team he intends
to put out this season is out for some
thing besides third or fourth place in
the Intercollegiate contest for cham
pionship, and that the triangular meet
between Bowdoin. Tufts and Bates
will be different than has been predict
ed, that the contest is between Bow
doin and Tufts since Bates never
counts for much, because Bates is go
ing to count if good men we'll trained
can win.
Capt Wilder will commence active
work with the baseball squad immedi-
ately The diamond is not yet in con-
dition, but an improvised diamond on
the campus will be used to give the
men outdoor practice which is much
needed to get the men in shape for
the Exeter game April Is at Exeter.

'"That this committee considers the de-
STABILITY of abolishing intercollegiate
contests from the date of the final foot
ball game until the spring recess. and
will act on this consideration or on be-
fore May l, 1903"
The football schedule which was decid-

meeting, but which was not given out at
that time, was made public tonight. OF
particular interest in view of the discus
sion at Harvard recently regarding the
advisability of reducing the number of
games to two or three great contests each
season, is the fact that the schedule for
next fall calls for exactly the same num-
Der of games as were played last year.

Moran and Nat,
Butler to Race.

Boston, April 7.-After Moran's de-.
cisive victory over Major Taylor at the
Park Square Coliseum last Saturday
night, he and his friends Immediately
claimed that he is the best all-round
bicycle rider in the world, and made no
bones of telling the rest OF the riders
about it.
All went very we'll until this came to
the ears of Nat Butler. the Cambridge
veteran, who refused to give Moran
such a title, without riding him, as he
feels that he has about as much right
to that title as anybody. 1t will be we'll
remembered that some years ago But
Ter was the undisputed handicap king
of the wheel, and says that even today
the old-time sports are with him.
He challenged Moran to a 15-mile
motor-paced race, both to start on the
scratch from a standing start. This
will mean that the men will have to
use all the sprinting power that they
possess in catching their motors.
Moran is after the money. and of
course accepted Buffers challenge, and
says he will do the same to him that
he did to Major Taylor last Saturday
night.

O'BRIEN WANTS TO
MEET BURNS AGAIN

Philadelphia, April 7.-Philadelphia
Jack O'Brien wants another chance with
Tommy Burns, and if he can get the
nominal champion to agree to meet him
in six-round bout at Philadelphia, will
give all his end to charity If he doesn't
win. But he has a fat chance to get
Burns in a six-round bout. O'Brien, who
is gradually getting back into the lime
light, and who spared with the society
pet, Bddle. in Philadelphia on Saturday
night, says:
HE is the easiest man to catch with a
left hand punch I ever faced. It is no
wonder he has beaten the foreign dubs
Any good American light or welterweight
could have done the same. Burns will
find it tougher shedding when he returns
to this country. He has never beaten me
on the level, and never can. He knows
that am clever enough to close his eyes
with left hand jabs. and will likely avoid
meeting. It will be the same if he
stacks up against johnson. He can box
c'everly. much more so than Burns. and
1t will be either one of us that he will
have to meet.
SHOULD Burns decide not to return to
this country right away" added O'Brien,
II will call the bluff of all these critics
who think that Jack Blackburn is such
wonder. Now Blackburn is a great
lightweight. used to be rated. less than
one year ago, as the best man of my
class in the world, which was really two
classes higher than Blackburn. The as
sertion that can stop the mulatto inside
of six rounds still goes. and my money
says SO. Should Burns remain abroad,
here is a chance for the Blackburn fol-
lowing to pick up some easy money" .

that he would like to meet Arthur

desire to meet the Biddeford boxer
again was that on the occasion of their
last meeting, March 20, he had just
returned from New York, and that
with the work he had done while there
and the long trip home he was not at

but only by a small margin. Both
scrappers put up a fine showing, keep
ing things going like lightning during

did large share of the forcing, but
Goodney used an illusive straight left
and hook that collided with Sheppard S
features every time he bored in. At the
end of the battle Sheppard was covered
with blood.

The teams of the New England

patrons of the sport.
Even the bush league teams are
taking games from the big league

growth of the game and the immense
army of good men scattered all over
the country.
Hugh Jennings will not-be as reck-
