JAMES e. SULLIVAN, SECRETARY
OF AMERICAN COMMITTEE
SENDS OUT LETTER
FOR FUNDS.

New York. August 1O.-James T..

committee Of the Olympic games, has
started the work of organizing the
American athletes for next years in

lect funds to send this team to Sweden.
This American committee has orga-
nized with Robert NJ. Thompson as
president. and Julian w Curtiss as
treasurer. II is the intention Of the
committee to establish n fund of $780,
600 to pay the expenses of the team
of 1912. and this money must be sub
scribed by public spirited citizens who
believe in American representation In
these games. and also appreciate what
II means for the American athletes to
show supremacy
1.-The Amateur Athletic union has
started the fund with donation OF
81 900; $4,000 more must be raised.
Can 7 ask you n liberal contribution
TO this fund If any Of your associates
desire 10 help out with contribution
also. it would be appreciated. Athle-
tic clubs. groups and colleges are re-
auested to assist the committee in this
work. All checks should be made pay

Purses have greatly increased in the
last decade or so Champions, and
especially i'm the lighter classes, were
satisfied TO box for a few hundred I'm
the old days. while a $1,000 prize was
looked upon as extraordinary but now
every near" champion wants To name
his own figures, and the peculiar part
Is they get away with It. To my mind
the foolish and ruinous competitive
bids OF the promoters have not done
the game any good, says Jim Corbett.
Tommy Ryan. believe II was, once
accepted on offer Of $3.50 to box some
comparatively unknown six rounds in
Boston. The bout was one-sided.
Tommy completely outclassed the
other fellow, whom he knocked out
in two rounds. Walking into the Of
flee after the bout, Tom asked for his
pay. The unusually astute promoter
rendered Ryan $50.
Come through with 1.-THE balance,
you promised me $780," said Tommy.
What for?" queried Mr.. Promoter.
''For boxing this mutt six rounds"
We'll. there's your money. You
boxed only two rounds"
That was a lesson for Ryan. He
afterwards became noted as n boxer
who wanted his dough" in hand be-
fore entering the ring. and many n
crowd has hollcred itself hoarse with
Impotence whilst Tommy would be
quietly waiting for the managers to
come through with his bit. Ryan was
an exception, though, and the average
boxer would meekly submit without
protest to the hold-up methods of the

even II one will not be given. Several
small wagers have been made that

One man at O'Donnell's made a

outpoint Ad and would win a newspa-
per decision Johnny Mcfarland.
cousin of Packey can see nothing but
the Chicago boy i'm the fight and de-
clares that Wolgast will be knocked
out. The general view Of the con-
servative boxers who have seen both
the principals i'm action at one time or
another is that the affair will be an
even go, and that it will lead TO II
longer mill to be staged on the Paci-
fic coast. 1t does not seem possible
that Mcfarland will knock out the
champion I'm ten rounds. and II Is not
likely that Adj will make Packey take

believed that interest has been sufl-

the game to be played Sunday be-
tween the Elkhart team and an aggre-
cation composed of stars selected from
the present Copper Country league is
in the nature of an experiment and
that If the attendance Is satisfactory.
the promoters probably will proceed

The Elkhart team is one of the
strongest that has ever visited this

played in the iron country. it is evil
dent that the team will give the all
star aggregation a hard game The
contest however will give the fans an
opportunity TO judge OF the strength
OF the best local players, against a
well organized team.
1t is likely that IL professional
team is secured for Laurium next sea-
son. several of the players who will
appear with the all-stars will be given
an opportunity to try for places.
