st. Louis, Aug 1s.-Mies Mcleod,
the Gentry county, Mo, young giant,
who is one of the pugilistic aspirants
that Jim Corbett has picked to train
to meet Jack Johnson, is of Scotch
descent. Mcleod has lived a perfect
life in that he has no handicaps such
as prize fighters now on the shelf
blame for their retirement.
There is no faint or narcotic or al
coholic poison in his system. He can
boast that perfect manhood that re-
suits from the eating of food without
the dangerous embellishments SO COM
mon to city life. Tobacco and strong
drink he knows not. Fresh air and
plenty of hard work have been his
only tonics..
lie was born on the present Mcleod
homestead. near Albany in Gentry
county, Mo-, some fifty miles from St.
Joseph, the northwest metropolis OF
the "Show-Me" state, on July 1S, 1882.
His twenty-eight years have been
spent as farmer boy, working as do
their boys and having only the sports
and pastimes common to rural life as
his recreation. He Is not a college
bred man and does not claim to be an
athlete in the generally accepted sense
of the term.
However. he Is well proportioned,
quick to move and think and strong as
a Grand river valley steer. His train
ing as a fighter has not been in a city
gymnasium, but rather his remark
able insight to the game has come
from the countryside bouts of friend
ship, where every fellow he met i'm
tended to give and take as good as
the other.

that he Is entirely green but rather

that will protect him against the me-

down the black or spared for the
opening that will prenit him to send
home that steer killing blow OF
which his friends so proudly boast.
He realizes that 1t will be necessary
to learn the master tricks OF the art
from the groun up and wisely con-

to the women, consists of General OIL
iver. Capt. Frank Mccoy and Reginald

been received here that Midshipman
r. e. Byrd, who played the position
large part Of last season and who
Is with the other midshipmen on a
cruise to foreign waters, has typhoid
fever. Though he is convaIescing, 1t
Is doubtful whether he can play dur
ing the coming season.
The first bit OF bad luck connected
with the position last year was when
Mason, who was an experienced and
brilliant player, hurt his knee Sc
verely, and was succeeded by Carl
ID. Hubbard. In few weeks Hubbard
failed in an examination and was
compelled to resign. Byrd was then
given third trial and soon met with
an incapacitating accident. Wilson
was just getting into fine form when
he received a fractured neck, which
ultimately caused his reath. Mid
shipman Vincent P. Erwin played
most of the remaining games, but
Mason would have played against the
West Point team If the game had not
been cancelled on account of Cadet
Byrne's death.
The services of Mason will be
missed by the team very much. The
head coach, Berrien, considers that
his knowledge Of football and judg-
ment as to playing was of the high
est order and that no better man
along these lines ever represented the
academy. His services were expected
to be most valuable to the team this
year Erwin will probably have the
first call for the place, but a number
of other men win be broken in as
promptly as possible and 1t is hoped
that good man will be developed.

PHIL DAILY DEAD.
Famous Gambling House Keeper sue-
cumbs at Long Branch.

Long Branch. n. j.. March 15.-Phil
DAILY. for twentysix years manager of
the famous Pennsylvania club Of this
city, died at his home here after an
illness lasting for several days.
Mr.. DAILY was born in 1888. In 1870
he took charge of the PENNSYLVANIA
club, the most famous of the five Long
Branch clubs which Governor Fort
closed when he was a Jersey supreme
court justice.
Three things distinguished Days
club--its luxury. its eating and its
high play. Perhaps greater than any
of these was the reputation the club
had during Phil Dalys time of being
absolutely square. DAILY took a lot OF
pride in square" dealing. He would
allow no sharp practice. no cheating
no Juggling. He even went so far as
not to permit minors to play in his
club.
So trusted was Phil Daily by his rich
players that they used to bank their
gambling money with him They
would deposit with him $4,000 or
plbV,OOO at time. saying luey were
going to bet on the horses or the cards
and play against the deposit. In
these transactions no written accounts
We're kept, nor did DAILY ever give re-
ceipts. Such men as President Chester
A. Arthur, Charles Reed, John Cham
berlin. Pierre and George L. Lorillard,
John Hoey, J. b. Haggin and James
Fisk, Jr., frequented Daly's club.
In December, 1888. DAILY was shot
by Edward Meredith and barely es-
capped alive. He had been induced to
