YOUNG WRESTLERS
 ARE GETTING BUSY

There is a general impression among the amateur wrestlers of the city that Bob Reilley is not as strong as he is cracked up to be.
 Manager McArdle of the Gayety thea Ire requests The Age-Herald to challenge Reilley for the Young Turk, the match to occur January 29. Manager McArdle states that the purse will be one of $500 and that he will put certified check into the hands of the sporting editor of The Age-Herald for that amount.
 MT. McArdle states that the Young Turk was not in condition Saturday night when Reilley defeated him with such rid iculous ease that it caused the spectators to gasp in surprise. Either the Young Turk was not in condition or he did not try to win, the spectators believe.
 Tom Jones of Ensley. who fought Reil- ley to a standstill sometime ago, desires The Age-Herald to challenge Reilley for another match. Jones declares that Reilley will not listen to him. Jones wants to employ Professor Miles of the Athletic club to referee the match.
 Bob Luster is another who desires to meet Reilley again and desires Professor Miles to referee.

CHAT
 OF THE FIGHTERS
By JEFF THOMPSON.

New York, January 10-Who is going to bell the cat, the cat being one Jack Arthur Johnson? That is the one ques- ton which Is uppermost in the minds of those who constitute the citizens of Fistiana.
 The one man who can do it without doubt absolutely refuses to consider it. That is big Jim Jeffries. He says he will under no circumstances enter the ring again, and as there is no law to compel him to do so this may be con- sidered final
 Of course the statements of Corbett, Fitzsimmons and Sharkey that they are willing to re-enter the ring and wrest the laurels from the ebony brow of the black champion are not to be taken se- riously. Ten years ago either of these men could have turned the trick, but while the spirit may be willing the flesh Is aged and weak.
 Of the young heavies now fighting I can see none who would have a reason able show against Johnson when the hol- low way in which he disposed of Tommy Burns Is considered It looks as though we would have to wait until Stanley Ketchell grows up unless indeed, Al Ku- biak shows class enough to cop the crown.
 The recent decision of Supreme Court Judge Seabury making permanent the in- junction forbidding the police to interfere with boxing matches before legitimate clubs probably will give New Workers an opportunity to see some good fighting. Never since the repeal of the Horton law has the boxing game, legitimateiy conducted had such an opportunity to flourish. and there Is little danger Of an other setback as long as ''fy by night ! clubs are discouraged by those who pat ronize the sport. There are thousands of lovers of the Queensberry game Tn this city-respectable citizens ana tax payers. too-who have just as much right to join a club and enjoy boxing exnipi- tions as any other sort of entertainment.
 Boiled down and stripped or legal yer blaze, Justice Seabury's decision restrains the police from entering the rooms or clubs to make arrests for alleged mis- demeanors. not committed or attempted to be committed in the presence of the police. without first procuring warrants. Should the police force their way into club houses they will be acting in con- tempt of court and will be liable to severe punishment Therefore the raiding habit is likely to become extremely unpopular with those police officials who are di- rectly concerned

Hickman's Opinion .0f
 2He Wobile 12O2 Team

Gordon Hickman, the popular Birming- ham boy who is one of the best twirlers that Mobile has claims on, in a letter to one of the sporting writers of Mobile, sets out the following as his opinion concern ing the 1909 Sea Gulls:
 "It is my honest opinion that the 1909 Mobile team will be trifie faster than the team of last season. All last year we were exceedingly weak in right field and at second base, and were weak, too, as every one about the league knows in the box. This was a serious drawback. Our box work last season as a whole was done by Fisher Becker and I, and as is re- membered, Fisher was out of the game for three weeks or more, leaving it to Kitty and me to hold the team in the first division. This year, however there will be several improvements made.
 T have noticed in The Age-Herald the prediction that Mobile will hold the place occupied so well and so long by Birming ham last season. But I can't see 1t that way, and we will show them that Mobile will be fighting for first honors in 1909.
 ITO start with, I would say that there is no better first baseman in the league than sabrie. Second will be filled by Rho- ton, who comes highly recommended from the South Atlantic. If Rhoton fails we have Watson to fall back on, and Watson in the few games in which he played last season revealed that he had the goods. Sentell. at short, is one of the best men in the league, and little Benson, though little shy on hitting, is as good as they make them at third.
 "The outfeld looks exceedingly fine. Wheat will develop into one of the best men in the league this summer, for he is fast on his feet and shows a great willing ness to learn the game.
 The only weak spots that I can see is our pitching and catching department. If we can pick out two or three good men from the new ones we will not have to worry. Becker, as everyone knows, is a valuable man. He has perfect control, and when his splitter is working he is very hard to defeat. As for myself, can not speak, for I was never one of those am going to do. only hope that I can do as well as I did in 1908. I never played in town that treated me better than Mobile, and I will never forget the people of that city.
 q was very sorry to see the club let Fisher go. There is no better man in baseball today than Tom. But feel that

England to visit the United States during October and November and to exhibit in the leading cities. They will play 15 games in different cities against promi- nent footballists of this country, who ad- vocate the English style of play. New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Cleveland and Fall River are down on the schedule, and dates have been ar ranged for other cities less prominent.
 Despite rumors that the French race authorities are going to watch the Ameri- can invasion very closely next year, 1t woul dappear that the turf in France will be considerably augmented by trainers and jockeys as we'll as owners from across the Atlantic.
 It is understood that the leading French steeplechase owner has engaged an American jockey to ride for him on the fiat.
 Eugene Leigh will probably undertake the training of newcomers stable. Ref erenee is made to MT. Corrigan, who is sending some of his best jumpers over, and may also establish a stud in France.
 A determined effort Is to be made to raise the tone of trotting next year, and to settle the differences which have brought about the clashing of fixtures at SOuthend and Imber Court park. One owner has now practically acquired the controlling interest in the Thames Ditton resort and those guilty of misconduct in Imber Court will in future have to reckon with a strong advocate of reform, who is for fining in no light manner and sus- pending. both temporarily and perma- nently, for offenses against rules and malpractices.
 With such a man at the head of affairs there is every possibility of the best class of owners being again induced to take part in racing in this country, instead of continually favoring continental tracks.

while waiting for basketball practice to start Like Charley Daniels, who was changed from a star interscholastic mid dle distance runner to the worlds cham pion swimmer, Cloughen switched from basketball and football star into sprint CT good enough to win second in the Olympic games at London last summer.
 Cloughen was one of the party of New York athletes who competed in the games at Pittsburg recently, where he gained additional laurels by winning the 1O0-yard run in record time.
 While at Fordham, Cloughen was a member of the football, baseball basket ball and track teams and shone on each. When he left Fordham he went to Col gate college for few weeks, but soon returned to New York, and is now a student at Townsend Harris hall, of the City college. One of the most wonderful features of this great athletes career is that all of his work was done before he had reached his o0th year, and he still has his best years before him in which to fulfill the predictions made for him.

At the Wrong Place.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 It was an exceedingly luxurious and forbidding-looking hotel. Nevertheless the worn, dusty and bedraggled one marched courageously across the lobby to the desk.
 What he inquired. ''are your prices?'
 Room without bath, s3.5O; with bath A." the clerk rattled off glibly.
 The dusty and bedraggled one pondered.
 Well, please give me- he remarked finally, "a bath without room. And kindly see that nice soft eiderdown pil- low is placed in the tub. Also be espe- cially sure that
 At this point a cold glitter in the clerk s eye closed the incident.

Fifty-five owners have thus won f195,- GOO between them. In addition to this amount 64 other owners have won sums ranging between f400 and s9O0.
 Naturally, trainers and jockeys as well as owners and breeders benefit indirectly from the big prizes which are to be won and it is notable that many young French riders. both amateur and profes- sional. have this year come to the fore. The Marquis de nt-Sauveur has ridden q winners this season.
 It is almost superfuous to add that the "mutuels" have proved the means of pro viding rich stakes. and one can get an idea of the amount invested at the vari- ous meetings by giving the figures for one race course.
 At the A meetings held at Auteuil this year the turnover at the ''mutuels' amounted to nearly G2.7 0O0, compared with 929s7.250 in 1907.
 On the big steeple chase day the figures were f132,480 and G140,550. respectively Taking an average on the two years, about G64.537 day was invested in the parimutuel at the leading French steeple- chase course. The above would give an average of f2620 day as share of the commission to go toward the stakes.
 With the Branch racing fixtures arr ranged on a new plan for next season, 1t is Interesting to note the dates of some of the big events In that country and England. They are:
 Wednesday. May 26-Epsom Derby
 Friday. May 2S-Epsom Oaks.
 Sunday. June 6-French Oaks

 Tuesday, June 15 to Friday, June 1S- Ascot meeting

There is great interest centered in the basketball game tonight between the Bir- mingham Athletic club and the team of Tulane university.
 The game promises to be an exceedingly interesting one. Tulane comes touted as the championship aggregation of New Or leans. city of many sporting clubs. The Tulane team Is making a long southern trip, and desires to win the great ma jority of the games of the schedule. How ever, local fans are of the opinion that the Athletic club will carry the day. The loc'l team is made up of experienced players, and they have just reached their stride.

The Birmingham Athletic club is espe- cially desirous of defeating Tulane be- cause of the fact that Tulane, in the only tw" games ever played between the tive. wen both victories Birmingham is deteil fred to win today and the betting trends in that direction.
 After the game there will be the usual social gathering with music and dancing. The tickets are being rapidly disposed of. and 1t is believed that the crowd will be an exceedingly large one.
 There will also be a game between the Reds and the Whites in the club cham pionship series These two teams are tied for second place, and the game will cer- tainly be hard fought

BOXING VERSUS
 u J|TSU SKILL Sam McVey Knocks Block Off
 Tano Matsudo CROSS COUNTRY STABLES Big Money for the owners-Pilgrim Football Association of England Will Visit America-Rac-
 ing In Europe.
By RICHARD DAHLGREN.

London, January 10.-The relative value of boxing and jiu jitsu as a means Of offense and defense was given tryout In Paris recently, which did not show the much-vaunted Japanese game to any great advantage.
 NTano Matsuda, who claims to be master of the art of jiu jitsu, undertook to meet Sam Mcyey, the American negro who has been posing as a world beater, with the scalps of Jeffries, Jackson, Fitz- simmons, Burns and all the other heavy weights at his belt.
 According to the report of the battle as received here, Mcvey first scared the Japanese half to death by opening his face and smiling at him and then started to feint. He feinted once with his left. which tied, and then caught the Jap un- der the chin with a driving uppercut with his right Tano Matsuda went straight up in the air and crashed on the canvas, as the rules of the French ring allow hitting when the man is down, McVey took advantage of it, and some hours after the jiu jitsu fighter was carried from the ring he admitted there was something in fighting with fists after all. He has refused to take advantage of a return match.
 Tano Matsuda is the leading exponent of jiu jitsu in London.
 The benefits which accrue from owning a cross country stable in France can be gathered from the following statistics. The first five leading owners are brack- eted together and an average of their winnings is made. As they received e71 GOO altogether, this gives an average of e14,2O0 each. The same has been done with the next five in the list, and so on:

him a valuable man. Unless he was req sonably certain that he was going back to Chicago I do not believe he would ap- pear so interested In his 1909 team. This week he signed a young semi-professonal pitcher by the name of Thomas, so the readers of The Age-Herald may rest as- sured that the popular Dutchman will pilot the 1909 team, for Charlie Murphy Is far too wise to let such man as Chance slip away on account or any lit- tie demand for more money.
 McCay Is sigend.

Two years ago the Fordham college bas- ketball team made a vigorous protest when "Bobbie' Cloughen was added to the track team of that institution, and even after he had started training for the sprint races he was often called upon to play against the strongest college bas
 ketball teams, and always did much to bring victory to his team. Whe nthis big, red -haired youth who is now the fastest sprinter In America, started running in the little gymnasium up in Fordham he had no idea that he could win races, and really only joined in with the track men
