NEW YORK. March 4.-Two more
promising pugilists OF America, Pat
Moore and Owen Moran, seem likely to
seek ''far-off pastures green" in England
and on the continent
A London sport writer says that Albert
Shirley. the manager and hacker of Jim
Driscoll. states at Cardiff that as Pal
Moore Is credited with decision over
the featherweight champion In the Unit
ed States. and as the Yankee contem-
lates a visit 10 this country, Shirley is
prepared to back Driscoll for snbstan-
tial side stake and the best purse offered.
In his recent bout with Bert Keyes.
Moore displayed remarkable skill. In his
present form he looks to be good enough
for any sort of company. or course he
has never been accused Of being a
Knockout man. but he hits as hard as
any OF the liEhtweIghts we have around
here, and even harder than the average.
Moore boxed Keyes at catchwelght and
therefore carried quite handicap. at
least ten pounds, and that is a lot of
weight 10 give away to a man like Keyes.
Reyes is one of the gamest boys in the

weights and middleweights. and / don't

able to The Tribune.

Special Cable to The Tribune.
LONDON, March At is clear to
all who follow athletic matters closely
that the governing sporting bodies
throughout England sadly want new
blood. The Olympic games were re-
vived in 1896, whereon competitions
with discus, iavelin, etc) came into
favor, which had not previously figured
among modern pastimes.
One would have expected the English
Amateur Athletic association, as the
rather OF amateur athletics, to show
the way in fostering the events re-
ferred to. When it is pointed out that
other nations now include the discus,
Javeiini, hop, step and jump, etc, on their
championship programmes, while Eng
land ignores these, the need for reform
is evident
The Amateur Athletic union NAV al
ter this, and BY agitating for proper
dressing room accommodation, the insti-
tuition of new championship events, in
eluding an indoor meeting, the return
OF visits from overseas athletes and
similar matters may eventually bring
about an improvement
The Amateur Field Sports club is not
meeting with encouragement. The OBJ
]ect of the club is to encourage field
events, in view of the Olympic games
This is hard task for new organiza-
ton, practically without funds, and a
big reflection on the governing asso-
citation, which has the money and vet
does little in this very necessary mat
ter.
Question Of Handicapping.
There is talk of the Jockey club
taking up the question of weights in
the spring handicaps, more especially in
relation to three-year- olds- Mr.. Bed
dlngton advocates minimum weight
for old horses of not less than seven
pounds more than the bottom weight
in the handicap
There is an acknowledgment of this
in the fact that important handicap
races are cropping up in which the
horses are confined TO those of one year
These horses will be handicapped to
give each of them chance; but put
the same lot in the Lincolnshire handi-
cap OF City and Suburban and they
would not be. All the trouble has
arisen from a very material increase
having been made in the bottom weight
and not corresponding one with the
heavy weights.
With the top weight increased in the
