Belmont, Whitney, Winans, Dur
yea and Others to Try for the
Newmarket "Guineas.'
STAKE is VERY VALUABLE
Annual Reward to Winner Is
About $4,000, Although There
Is No Added Money.
rFrom The Tribune Correspondent.

London, Dec EFF some wealthy
American does not win the Guineas OF
1915 at Newmarket, il will not be for lack
of enterprise and liberalty in buying or
breeding colts and filles of blood lines
that bespeak turf successes. While one
set in the United States has sent over
entries Of hOmebred yearlings-two-year-
olds they will become a few hours hence
another set of their compatriots have
dclved into bank accounts for all sorts OF
sums to purchase high priced equine
juveniles bred in England
First every year of the five English
classics and invariably worth more
than the Derby, the great race for
| three year. olds run at Newmarket every
spring for more than century is
unknown to the average American
| turfman, although he cannot remember
when he did NOT know whole lot about
the EPSON Derby For one thing, this
first Of the classic races suffers from a
misnomer For generations ii has been
| known as the Two Thousand Guineas-
| equivalent to $lO0OO-whereas it is an
nually worth $4,000 or thereabouts.
1t is a racing gamble that appeals par
| ticularly TO wealthy sportsmen. for il is
a sweepstakes Of 500 each. half forfeit
and there is not dollar of added money
| The entries, which just have closed for
| the Guneas of 1915 number l52: so that
| in event of a walkover the fortunate
nominator would receive more than the
owner Of the Derby winner. As field
| of twenty or more is not uncommon for
the Guineas. the stakes may approximate
| $4,000 1t is mile race, run at New
market every April.
August Belmont has entered two Of his

and Sandmole.
H. =. Whitney has entered colt by

small for him, but Jack Joyner. his

to play from, for he will have the han

| Bayardo colt that recently cost his lord
! ship 1880, a Santoi colt that cost $500
and another that also made a goody hole

| There is some curiosity among British
turfmen, professionals and amateurs to
see what fortune Joyner will have with
the earl's highly bred English candidates
! for the classics, because, for some reason
! that is hard TO fathom. in some quarters
there has grown up quite a strong theory

INDIVIDUALS ASKED
TO UNDERWRITE 1T
Two Big College Leagues Likely
to Have Dual Match on
Lincoln'S Birthday.

Whether the much heralded interna-
tional chess congress will be held at
Havana on February l, will be decided
within a week. 1t appears that the New
York manager failed to receive any reas-
suring news from Havana, in spite Of haV-
ing repeatedly written TO the Mayor ana
other officials AS a last effort the man
ager addressed the President of the ke-
public of Cuba in a letter last week. In
this letter it was pointed out that a
breakdown of affairs at this late hour
would mean calamity for chess, and
that Havana, and Cuba generally, would
be looked upon as utterly unreliable in
their promises and actions.
There are somewhat strained relations
between the Mayor and the corporation
I'm consequence of which the $4,000 appro-
priated by the aldermen has not been
placed on the budget, and hence the halt
I'm the proceedings The manager now
suggests that patriotic citizens underWrlte
the amount granted by the city fathers,
inasmuch as he is confident that things
will right themselves as soon as the for
eiGn masters will assemble in the Cuban
metropolis and begin to play.
In view Of the, complete stories pub
Ished from day to day on the twenty
second intercollegiate chess tournament
m The Tribune. II is needless TO write any
additional comment on a contest when
proved to be the most sensational ever
recorded. The management of the
"CHYP" combination showed excellent
judgment in trying to bring about TWO
additional interesting contests. Reference
is made to the idea of playing an addl-
tional intercollegiate match with six play
ers of the Triangular College Chess
League on Lincolns birthday and 1t IS
hoped that the latter organization VIII
accept the proposal. The other novel
feature. suggested by the managsment OF
the "CHYP" league is the playing or a
cable match with one or more German
universities, should oxford and Cam
bridge again be unable TO play caole
match with the American universities THIS
season.
The Triangular College Chess League
will begin it's annual tournament at the
Brooklyn Chess Club tomorrow ana
probably finish on Thursday. -Four stu
dents from each college will combat this

PLANNING TO STOP
FITZSIMMONS BOUT
C. J. Harvey Says Atlantic Gar
den Officials Will Be Noti-
fed Tuesday.

Charles J. Harvey. secretary OF the
State Athletic Commission. said last
night that, although no official action had
yet been taken, the commission would
certainly prevent Bob FitZsimmons from
taking part in any bout in this state. Mr..
Harvey formally summoned the match
maker and managers of the Atlantic Car
den Athletic Club 10 appear before the
State Athletic Commission on Tuesday
afternoon, where they will be formally
notified that the match Will not be al
lowed 10 go on.
In speaking OF the stand taken by the
State Athletic Commission a man well
known in boxing circles said: at would
be little short Of criminal TO allow this
proposed bout to so on. Fitzsimmons was
perhaps the greatest fighter of all time,
and it would be far better to have the
present generation remember him as such
than as a crippled old man reeling about
the ring, unable to defend himself. A
serious accident might happen If he met
any Of the young men OF the ring to-day
whether or not they compare with what
he was in his prime.
There is some chance, Of course, that
Fitzsimmons might land a crusher In the
first round and score a quick Knockout
but if he ever missed that one punch II
would be about all over but the shout
ing
New-York tribune., 1913-12-28

The Atlantic Garden Athletic Club man
agement has gone right ahead advertis-
ing the bout and yesterday afternoon
said that it would surely be carried oIt
as announced. The promoters said their
interest in the affair was strictly hu-
manitaran, and that there would be little
or no profit in the affair ior them. Fitz-
simmons would get all the money. They
could not believe it possible that the
hard hearted State Athletic Commission
would frown down such philanthropy.
one of the officers OF the club said yes
terday morning There Is no real reason
why this affair should not be allowed to
90 on. Fitzsimmons is in good condition
and honestly believes that he can whip
anv Of the present day hopes He is
stronger and bigger to-day than when he
defeated Corbett at Carson City. Then he
weighed only 1856 pounds; to-day he
scaled at 17S pounds. and was strong.
His trainers have declared that he is hit
ting like a trip hammer and is all right.
1--WE are promoting this affair for the
benefit of FitZslmmons. There will be
little profit for us when he and Kearns
are maid off. We have always been
stanch rooters for Fitzsimmons, and be
lieve that he has several good battles left

couple Of fights and then retire, still the
great man he really is
