feature of the games of the Kan sas City Athletic club on Labor day will be the 15,000 meter walk (nearly ten miles). Frank WOO!on, the we'll known jock ey. was suspended for the month of August for reckless riding He steered SteadfaSt into the fence and won from Santair in the Atlantic Stakes at Liv- erpoOl Charles Harvey secretary of the New York state athletic commission, who now is in London preparing to sail for the United States, announces emphatically that boxing will form a part of the Olympic program in Berlin. The managers of the Canadian Cir cult races this fall are likely to play to short houses HOrsemen are leav- ing the country so fast it seems there will be no one left to enter. The lack of horseflesh will endanger the success of the meet. Albert Palzer the Iowa wonder, when he climbs through the ropes next d heavyweight is quite like ly to do so under the management of new man. Tom O'Rourke is picked but the report is not con- fiTmed by either of 'cm.
 Baldy McGregOr. the sensational trotting three year old owned by George Dougan of Indiana has been sold to John E. Madden of Cleveland the price being s750O. Baldy won fourth money in the Cleveland trot- ting sweeps takes. and his showing was so good many cashful offers were made for him.
 Jack Brtton. who will hereafter box at 133 pounds and under his right name, Billy Breslin, has been taken into the family of Dan Nor gan. manager of Knockout Brown. Dan will try to get his new boy d match with Packey Mcfarland as soon as the storm cloud bearing Ad Wolgast is settled or passes over
 The Birmingham team of the Cot ton States League is some mixed as tO nationality Almeda is Cubano fantz, a Dutchman; HardgrOve is the adopted handle of a full booded In- dian; Eliam is a big Swede: Me Gilvray is braid Scotch; several other Macks are Irish. while the rest of the cosmopolitan club are plain Americans
 Ad WOlgaSt has been rather taking the matter of the fight with Packey Mcfarland out of Manager Tom Jones' hands. Tom has said several times the go was not on, but the champ comes back with the information that 1t is ] thing to bet on, as Packey has accepted all the terms laid down by Billy Gibson of the Garden Athletic club, where the min will be pulled off. Last month marked the twelfth year since the great MatheWson join cd the New York Giants. In that time Matty has been the peerless among altitudinous twirlers and his fame and bank roll have grown fat beyond all imagining. He is not pitch ing the same brand of ball he delv- cred in the old days, but there in nu doubt Matty is still putting up a star article
 The Labor day fight of Rivers and Mandot will be real gage of the Mexican's ability Of course he made good showing against the champion, but it must be remembered, that was his frs fight out of his old class. More experience as a 133-pOunder, may make him more than match for the Michigan boy His opponent of Sep tember 2nd is one of the toughest ring nuts in the whole bag. and if Rivers puts him through the cracker, it will be the making of the Los Angeles idol Joe says. "fll get Mandot-and get him quick. I want to show him up worse than Willie Ritchie did in New Orleans, then the San Francisco boy will have to stop saying I am not in his class"
 Border fighting like border rustl- ing. is none too conducive to the true sporting spirit. While two good matches were staged in the Juare2 bull ring since the advent of the fight game there have been a few of decided brunette comple xion. The disgraceful affair at Agua Prieta last Sunday, when the crowd started rough house and attempted to take some American prisoners away from the guards shows the pleasant pos stilities of this mode of passing q quiet Sunday afternoon. The fight game does not seem to thrive wei on foreign. especially Mexican soil and the old saying that the defini- tion of the word sports" ends witt the bridges holds true
