COMMANDER SEARS WORK.

Commander Walter j. Sears, SUI
p~erintendent of the municipal fer
ries, who has brought the service up
to q high standard, qualified before
the United States Board of Local
Steamboat Inspectors recently as a
master mariner on all steamships
upon all oceans. Commander Sears
is an old naval man, and has failed
every sea and been in every port on
the two continents.
1t is a noted fact that there is no
more technical examination in any
department of the government, fed
eral or municipal, than that which
Commander Sears so successfully
passed. An examination of this
character usually occupies a period
of FIVE or six days. but Commander
Sears, owing to his expert knowl-
edge of marine affairs, passed it with
a high percentage in the remarkable
time of one day, and part of another.
He was complimented on his tact
and marine acquisitions, and was
granted his masters certificate
promptly.

LOWE IS DEFEATED
BY FRANK MADOLB
Local Boy Substituted for
Phil Knight.

Special to The Washington Herald.
Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 23.-Phil Knight,
the Kansas City gladiator. did not fight
frankie Madole at Old City Hall tonight,
as advertised. As result Phil is sore
and isn't slow about saying so. When
Phil went before DIR. Franklin, the city
physician, last night for examination he
was slightly overweight and the doctor
found some fat on him. Consequently
he was. forbidden to enter the ring.
knight says he is in good condition and
looks it, although perhaps a triie fat.
He says he never felt better or more fit
and is angry at the rundown. He de-
clares he fought Packy Mcfarland at 1873
pounds. which is the weight he made
here.
Tommy Lowe, of Washington, D. c.,
was substituted for Knight in the ring,
and Madole disposed of him easily. Ma
dole had sixteen pounds the best of the
weight, and Lowe never had a look-in.
Considering the fact that he took the
engagement on short notice, the fans
consider he did remarkably well.

MARYLAND AGGIES
TAKE Up BOXING
"Kid" Sullivan Will Instruct
the Farmers in the Art.

College Park, Md, Dec. "a boxing
class has been added to the athletic
curriculum at the Maryland Agricultural
College. Kid Sullivan. the well-known
Washington and Baltimore scraper, has
been engaged as instructor, and regular
lessons will begin early in January. Sui
livan will give each of the forty MEM
bers thirteen lessons. each lesson to be
limited to three three-minute rounds.
The scheme has the sanction of the fa-
Guilty of the institution. and it is believed
to be the only college in Maryland,
where there is a regularly organized
boxing class. 1t is understood that the
kid is paid quite a handsome sum
for his services, each member of the
class being taxed a certain amount.
Cadets Roster. Mudd, and Duckett. are
the captains of the respective classes,
and great interest is manifested.
Already there is much rivalry between
the several classes in the college, and
the honor of being the best scraper in
the institution is expected to. result in
some fierce contests and many black
eyes and bruised countenances. Sulli-
vans reputation as severe puncher has
preceded him, and already some of the
ambitious youths at the college are fig
uring on making him quit before many
lessons have been given. Besides being
hard hitter, the kid is known to
possess much science. and 'wirat he does
not know about the boxing game is hard
ly worth knowing. The contests between
the men representing the various classe'
is certain to arouse a-class spirit that
will add much to the earnestness of the
men when they get into action. The col
legd hospital. however, is not overcrowd-
ed at this time. and there is plenty of
room for those whose features and limbs
will require attention.

Chicago, Dec. 23.-JOhn "Artha" John
son, colored heavyweight champion. ar
rived in Chicago to-day to spend Christ
n as with his mother. Johnson was ac-
companied by his wife, three travelling
companions. Brooks, his white valet and
fifteen pieces of baggage. He appeared
to be in ffTst-ClaSs condition.
Asked about a report from New York
that while abroad he had spent his time
buying tubs of champagne for barmaids
and gambling" he grinned his eighteen
carat smile and exclaimed:
My condition shows that story to be
false. I'm as hard nails and in better
condition than when ! beat Jeffries I
didn't buy any champagne for barmaidS,
nor IS there an truth in the story that
| am broke"
Johnson thereupon flashed handful Of
yellow bills.

Sidney. Dec. 23.-Hugh Mcintosh, the
Australian fight promoter, has opened
up negotiations with Jack johnson in
hope of signing up the big black
heavyweight champion to meet the
most likely of the international white
hopes" Mcintosh did not indicate who
he had in mind as an eligible conten-
der against Johnson, although many
think it is Al Kaufman, the husky Cal
ifornia heavyweight.
Mcintosh has made an offer to Kauf-
man of $4,000 to come to Australia
and engage in three fights. Johnson's
figure is so high that there is little
possibility that the promoter will be
able to hook him up.
