 The American is still a strong flaw orite in the betting. Even the north countrymen. who are noted for the way in which they will back an Eng lishman against foreign fighter, are asking long odds before laying their money. They have offered. however, will stay six rounds. Burns packers have not taken this bet, but Burns nevertheless believes that the fight will not last longer than that. He said to- day that he intended to make the con test as short as possible because he has an engagement to give number of exhibitions next week and must get into shape again for the fight in Dub lin on March IT, for which Richard Croker, the former Tammyy leader, and one of the packers of Jem Roche, the Irish champion whom Burns will meet is returning from Egypt.
 Palmer. is considered a somewhat better fighter than Gunner Moir. whom Burns put away in ten rounds, but has a reputation for hitting low. it being on an allegel foul blow that Mor was given the decision over him, when last they met.
 The betting at the clubs is to 4 in favor of Burns. Robert Watson. a sporting writer. whom Burns wanted as referee in his fight with Gunner Moir. will act in that capacity in the fight tomorrow.

prLLIAM NO LONGER IN POWER.
YaIe Baseball Authorities Will Choose
 Referees for Big Games.

The breaking away from past usages by the Yale baseball authorities, first marked by the doing away with pro- fessional coaching, was again seen yes- terday with the announcement that this year Yale. in conjuctiOn with the other big colleges, will choose the ref erees for the games.
 Tn the past, John C. Pulliam, presi- dent of the National league. has chosen the baseball referees for Yale and the other mines. His arbitrariness. shown in other instances than the present, has led Yale to do away with Pulliam's as- sistanCe.
 Last year oh one occasion, Yale and Harvard made a request jointly for d referee to which Pulliam paid no at tention. This year the officials of the associations in the different colleges will name the referees as in the big football games the officials are chosen by mutual consent.
