While playing at Exeter two years ago Hart sustained an injury to his neck that left him with a cracked vertebrae.

Cambridge, Dec. 22-Although Ham iltcn Fish. Jr., Captain of the 1899 Harvard Varsity football team. had been expected back in Cambridge on Monday of this week. he did not show up here as he had declared on the preceding Saturday he would He has not made public any explanation of his sudden leave-taEing of Harvard in his senior year. Nor do the university authorities appear to have anything to say on the subject.
 It can be stated authoritatively that Fish will return to Harvard some time late in the Spring to take his degree for he has finished his major courses and can easily take care of the little remaining work he has to do. But Harvard will never again know Ham ilton Fish, Jr., as an undergraduate if he persists in his present course.
 He has entered his fathers office at 59 Wall street. New York city, as the .iatter's secretary. and started on those duties yesterday morning, and it de- veloped later in the cay that he had taken tine precaution to secure an ex- tended leave of absence from his col IeEe authorit les. q leave covering the entire second semester of his senior year.
 The feeling in the senior class over the aTair is known to be growing steadily higher instead of abating. as 1t had been hoped would be the case with Fish's absence. and 1t has spread to the whole student body. The trou- ble is a deep-rooted one. and few of Fish's classmates and members of the opposition to him make any bones about admitting that Fish lost the first Marshalship because of conditions in the football squad.

CORBETT PICKS JEFF TO WIN
 BIG BATTLE AND TELLS WHY
Says Johnson Has But Two Punches and These Lack Necessary Wallop-Going Into Training to
 Give Jeff Hard Try-Ou Contests

It makes me laugh when I see all the wiseacres shake their heads and say, "Jen will never get back his wind" I have been back two days and you would think that Jef was being buried so steady is the condol- ence. These weak chaps forget that Jeffries is out of the ordinary. He Is q combination of our ancestors o( the stone age and this century. What VI o,Ild kill an ordinary mortal wouldn't hurt him in the least A month or two in the Sierras where the air Is pure would get his bellows working perfectly. With those in good shape he could almost stop training, for there is no need to build up his punching power, which is tremend- ous.
 To Fight Jeff fin Camp.
 One feature of the camp that has eral weeks before the battle. MT. Jen and yours truly will strip and fight twenty rounds with no one but the seconds as spectators. This may each time it will be a hummer. To save myself for my family, I will i'm sist that we use big gloves, but that won't stop the festivities.
 This will be the severest test that any fighter ever ran up against and at the same time give Jeff a good idea of just how he stands. As a rule when a man is getting into con- dition he has a bunch of sparring partners who allow him to cut loose while they dodge the blows. if able. The bouts between Jeff and myself will be just the reverse If I can send one over he will have to suffer, and if he can give me a ticket to dreamland it's up to me. Take a tip from me. Don't let all this talk ebout Johnson's cleverness worry you, for when he stacks against JeT he will meet a fighter that can give a bear cat nine rounds and beat him in the tenth

Tells of Jen,s WalIop.

As an idea of Jeffs wallop, have only to go back to the night of May II nine years ago at Coney Island. II is only fair in drawing the con- but an experienced pugilist that night. while I had all the scientific points down pretty well. For twenty-two rounds I pummelled his face at will and kept out of his way, but in the next session, when I stepped in. he just shot one over and I was dead to the world
 Three years later. in San Francisco. was defeated in ten rounds. The records say ten rounds. but, take 1t from me, I was beaten in the second. During that period Jeff caught me with a right to the ribs that para lyzed me, and if it were not for the fact that I didn't want to be known as a quitter I would have jumped out of the ring. That blow felt like a steam pile-driver at full speed. and have wondered how I ever got back after the smash. Just think how Johnson will feel when the big fel- low" tears one of those rib-breakers loose!
 The negro's friends will say that Jeff will not be able to hit Jack. but can't see how he can be stopped. There is no science in the world that can now stop Jeff. Johnson may pepper him with right uppercuts.
 
 knows The big fellow will just brush them aside and force his way through the barrier, and then Good night Jack. Look over the dope and what terrible hitters smashed Jefr until they tired and then got knock ed out for their trouble When Jeff whipped Fitz the freckled wonder was some fighter. and could hit like the hind leg of a mule. It's the same old story. Je1 would take ten blows to land one. and when he landed 1t meant the finish
 Johnson was and never will be a real hard hitter. He probably fig- ures on wearing down Jeffries and taxing his vitality until nature has to cry enough That is good dope, ac- cording to book, but when it ccfnes down to fighting it won't be worth a hang. Johnson may display all the skill that he has. but when this rag ing lion rushes he will brush all science aside and slip over a hay maker that will make the colored fighter turn white.

Chicago. Dec. 22.-George stovall. first baseman of the Cleveland clus may wear the white hose or Chicago next season. But Freddie Parent will not don the green, gray and white combination of the Maps.
 This was the statement of President Comisey of the White Sox. on his re- turn recently from the American lea gue meeting at New York, where he talked trades with Manager Hugh Duff fy and leaders of the Chicago teams rivals.
 Every club owner and manager with whom Duffy attempted to deal. imme- diately began talking about Smith and Walsh As there Is no athlete in the league for whom the Sox would give Walsh, and few for whom Smith would be let out. no deals at all were closed, and the Cleveland affair Is the only one still open.
 Parent played with the New Haven club of the State league. and was a member of the Boston American World Champions.
 Montreal. Quebec, Dec. 22.-Dr. James Casey. last years manager of the Montreal baseball club has been given his unconditional release. He probably will manage Dayton in the Central Ohio league, next season.

DETROIT, Mich, Oct. 16.-
Never in the history of local base
balloon has there been such a
rush to secure seats for the
worlds championship series as is
on here today for the deciding
game between the Detroit Tigers
and the Pittsburg Pirates. The
city is simply baseball crazy.
The fact that the .field is heavy
after yesteray's rain is an advant-
age to the Pirates, as the Tigers
rely largely on the bunt and run
system to win their games.
A large delegation of PittsIburg
rooters arrived in the city this
morning and when they learned
that the Detroit fans were offer
ing 10 to on the Tigers chances
they snapped up all the money in
sight.
