DEFENSE OF ROWING.
Death of Griswold Not Traceable to
His Collanse in Race

NEW HAVEN, January 14.-Juliam w
Curtiss, graduate advisory rowing coach
of Yale, in a letter to the Yale Alumni
regarding the death of Dwight T Girls
void, stroke of last years crew, who
collapsed during the race with Harvard
on the Thames river at New London
last June, says he understands that the
death was due to typhoid fever, and that
it hads nothing to do with his collapse in
the race.
THAT collapse" Mr.. Curtiss writes,
has been very generally misunderstood.
1t was purely nervous, and not physical.
His nervous condition was supplemented
by the false start. Long after the race
was over he told me that during the same
he felt something clutching at his throat
that he did not feel physically exhausted
at all, but that this unknown something
was preventing him from breathing
Physicians have since told me that this
was sign of nervous collapse
The letter from Mr.. Curtiss was in
spired by the controversy going on here
concerning the advisa bility Of reducing
eight-oared shell racing from four miles
to three or less. The unfortunate death
of Griswold has been used as an argu-
ment against four-mile races.

BASE BALL PLAYERS HOLD BACK EVERY SPRING

get Langford at once. It will be the
first battle for the championship Of the
world between heavyweights of class
since Jim Jeffries and Jim Corbett met
at San Francisco August IA. 1903.
1nasmuch as there is no question that
Langford will jump at this chance to win
the championship of the world, it is con-
sldered that the match is as good as
made. There is only one thing to inter-
fere, and that is the possibility that
American promoters will offer a purse
so much larger than the National club
can AFFORD that the two men may be
Weaned away from it.
But c. F. Mathson, the American
matchmaker of the London club, sent a
dispatch to Joseph A. Woodman. man.
ager of Langford. now in San Francisco,
notifying him of the date, and he ex-
poets an Immediate answer WOOdman
mad wired that, while Stanley ketchell
claimant of the middleweight champion
ship, was his first choice, he would be
glad to get match with the big negro
or Iexas. 1t Is expected lin New York
by Woodman's friends that he will start
with his protege for the east just as
soon as he can get ready. His efforts to
get contest with ketchell for the mid
dlewe1ght championship have driven that
POKER from California to his home in
Michigan, SO there isn't the slightest
chance of battle between them.
In TACT, all or the mlddleweightS and
heavyweights Of the country have run
to cover since Langford knocked out Jim
Flynn In single round at San Fran
cisco. Charles Lecari, one Of the pro-
motors, recently tried to get the two
men to fight him and he failed
The National club has not shown in

Johnson Manager Bettinson, it is UNI
derstood, would not consider him till he
had beaten Langford. for Langford is
almost as much a favorite in London
as johnson. His quick defeat of two men
before the National club two years ago
proved to the lords and millionaires who
make up the institution what he could
do. They would not think of letting
Gunner Moir. then the British champion
box him. Nevertheless, they bet on their
champion against Burns. who they
were convinced was no match for the
gunner.
The battle between Johnson and Lang
ford will. in the opinion of experts, be
much more like a worlds championship
contest than was the recent fight in Aus
tral1a- While Johnson defeated Burns
with ease, he had the utmost difficulty
to merely outpoint Langford when the
latter weighed only 145 pounds, in their
match at Chelsea, Mass, two years ago
Langford now weighs 40

INACCURATE NEW PLAN.
Night Practice for Track Team
Started at GEORGETOWN.

| Practice by electric light was held by
some of the candidates for the George
town varsity track team last night in the
basement of the Healy building. Only a
few of the law students were on hand, but
1T is expected that the new plan will
greatly enlarge the numbers before the
end of the week.
This idea originated in the mind of
around for likely men, found that there
was some good material in the law
school which could not try for the team
because OF working in the day time, and
hence the Blue and Gray charge d'affaires
Immediately made preparation to have the
track lighted up on certain nights of the
week for the benefit of these men Last
evening the first work was done, and now
that the ball is started it is expected that
1t will keep on rolling to the advantage of
the team.
The prospects for the season were
abruptly upset yesterday when Coach
Joyce of the basket ball qllint announced
for any other team while playing under
him. One thing at a time, said the
professor. Men cannot play basket ball
one day and run the next without losing
their skill in both, and as 1 want to win
the rest OF our games this year l will take
no chances
If Mr.. Joyce carries out this rule it will
mean that Capt. Rice and Schlosser of the
goal tosSers will be lost to the track
squad and as both of these are speedy
their absence will place quite a handicap
on Capt Gibbs when he maps out IS
some kind of plan can be devised by
which the two stars will be able to attend
to the duties of both basket ball and track
without losing skill in either.

GREAT SPRINTERS ),
DIE TWO DAYS APART

CLEVELAND, Ohio, January 14-Death
within two days broke up a champion
sprinting partnership in Cleveland, which
a score of years ago was renowned around
the world. Harry Bethune, friendless,
alone, died Sunday at a hospital His
old teammate, Charles E. Freund fol-
lowed Tuesday. A bullet wound was
fatal. While Bethune was struggling in
the clutches of disease his old-time friend
and rival was equally hard beset. A cir
Gus man had come into his saloon
Thanksgiving night with a revolver,
which he fiourished. A bullet struck
Freund. For some time he seemed to i'm
prove; then death came from blood poi
soning. Freund for four years was called
champion of the world. Bethune was
nearly as good. In America, England
Australia the two men, who We're fast
friends, raced on cinder paths.
In one match between them in Aus
tralia a pot of $4,000 was at stake But
the racing game died. and the two men
drifted back to Cleveland Freund was a
harness maker by trade and worked at it
Tor While, later starting a saloon.
Harry Bethune was buried in the potter's
field.

SULLIVAN MAY BOX NELSON.
Had Better of Battler in Baltimore
Three Years Ago.

BALTIMORE, Md. January 14.-Should
Kid Sullivan of Washington be proclaim
ed the winner over Harry (kid) Seager of
this city in the star event of fifteen
rounds before the Eureka Club tonight he
will likely be matched with Battling Mel
son, the lightweight champion of the
world, in six-round bout in New York
next month.
Manager Al Herford yesterday received
telegram from Jim Buckley, manager Of
the Sharkey Athletic Club of New York,
that Sullivan could have a match with
the champion, providing he was success
full with Seager. Buckley thinks that Sui
Ivan could give Nelson the hardest bout
of his career. He bases his opinion on the
fact that. Sullivan outfought Nelson in
six-round bout in this city three years
ago. though Billy Recap of Philadelphia,
who refereed, declared it draw.
Steve Crosby. the well known Louisville
scrapper, has agreed to meet Morris Tas-
ker, local colored man, for six rounds.

STOPPED THE GAME.
Business and Western High Riddles
Make Too Much Noise.

There was plenty of excitement yester-
day in the basket ball game between the
Business and Western High School fives
at the formers gym, and a melee was in
dulged in just before the close of the first
half. when the score stood IA to 5 in
favor of the Stenographers.
The game was called off on account of
the breaking of a rule that those using
the gymnasium during the evening ses-
sion at the Business School should keep
quiet.
Although the game lasted but a short
time. and was well played it was much
warmer than the score indicates.
In all probability the two teams will

much stronger aggregation than when 1t

game at guard. Though up against

Judging from present indications. Bust
ness High will experience. it's best base
ball season in the coming year. The
team is strongly fortified in every posi-
ton, except the box but as two promising
candidates in Greer and Rawlings have
signified their intentions of trying for
slab honors it is needless to say that a
twirler of good enough caliber to hold the
other high schools in check will, in all
probability, be discovered.
Western High will also come to the
front in high school basket ball when it
lines up with the Stenographers within
the next week. If all the players who
would ordinarily compose the team are
eligible to participate the Business squad
will undoubtedly be pushed to the limit
in order to claim victory

The Engineer basket ball five was de-
feated last night in the National Guard
gymnasium by the Corcoran Cadets, who
secured the game by score of 45 to 9.
The Engineers played a rousing good
game despite the fact that the Cadets
kept the lead throughout, and the passing
and team work of the defeated team were
exceptionally good.
The Corcoran quint put up fine game
from start to finish. and the way the boys
threw the ball in the basket was as good
as anything pulled off in the guard gym
nasium this season.
The Cadets succeeded in getting the
ball in the basket fourteen times in the
second half. while the Engineers Were
only able to land 1t twice.
The work of Coleman and Bontz, for
the Cadet outfit, was certainly a credit to
the winners. Coleman basketng the ball
seven times, although he was only in the
game for the second half. BontZ landed
five goals. Stec6ler, for the losers, played
good game. Lineup and summary:
