FLOTO DENIES
SULLIVAN EVER
WAS CHAMPION
Declares Nothing Could Induce
Him to Meet Jackson for
Worlds Title.
By Otto Floto.

IN ENVER, March 23.-We note a
- recent interview with John l..
Sullivan in which he states
that he was the former champion Of
the world. He bases his claim to this
title from the fact that he defeated
Paddy Ryan and Jake Kilrain. and
then says: Il refused to fight Peter
jackson because Jackson was a negro
that is, | refused to fight him IN
public, but agreed to a private meet
ing. jackson refused. That's why |
was champion of the world"
Poor old Peter Jackson is dead. In
far-off Australia there is erected a
marble shaft that penetrates high into
the air It's over the grave that con-
tains the most popular fighter that
Australia ever boasted of. and the
greatest fighter the black skinned
race ever produced. Few Americans
visit Sydney without going out TO
that cemetery and reading the epitaph
carved on that pile of granite. Jack
son can rot reply to Sulivan's asser-
ton. But we who were familiar with
the deal can tell his side of it.
ET'S be candid by saying there was
IL no way on earth by which John
j.. could be induced to meet the black
man. Sullivan was the American
champion at the time Jackson was
champion of England and Australia.
At the time of which Sullivan speaks
he (Sullivan) was living in Brooklyn
with Charlie Johnson, one of his
hackers. Jackson was appearing at
Miners Eighth Avenue Theater in
New York. This was just after Peter
returned from his trip abroad and aft
er he had defeated Lambert at Troy,
N. Y.
William Muldoon had charge Of Sui
livan's training affairs at the time,
and it was Muldoon that came over
to New York and watched Peter box
ing with Jack Fallon A match was
to be made on the report that Null
doom brought back. The expert train
err and champion wrestler Immediate
" made up his mind that Jackson was
something out of the ordinary. He so
reported back to Charley Johnson, and
there it ended by Sullivan's we'll
known slogan, 81 won't fight mig
ger"
NOV, we are getting to that part
~ where Sullivan claims that ne
wanted to fight in private Well, IL
he ever made such a statement at the
time. no one ever heard of it. Parson
Davies, who was managing jackson at
the time, is still alive, and Will pear
me out. as will Muldoon, who has his
training farm at White Plains. Sui
Ivan did say: IF l fight him. 1t Will
have to be in a sixteenfoo ring so ne
can't 1rn way" When this was toid
to Peter. he replied: Il am ready 10
feht him in a barrel, if he so wishes
st." That was the end of the argu-
roant Jackson exhibited in Boston a
few weeks later, and sullivan took
seat on the age eyeing the olacN
nav from head TO foot won't say
that sullivan was afraid to- meet
vice Of his friends such meeting
never took place" As Jackson was
the champion Of Austraiia ana Ens
land. and never beaten by sullivan
we can't figure out Johns claim 10
worlds title honors.

TT HE large number of Tech men
out for the track team. cou-
pied with the overwhelming
baseball squad that showed up last
month, has led to more than a few
expressions Of wonder as TO the
meaning of this unprecedented turn
out. rI ~
During the football season over
100 men took part in the sport.
Some 80 or more tried out for the
basketball team; over 100 came out
for baseball, and about 60 for track
These figures are exclusive of men
who played on class teams in any
sport, and also does not include the
number who will play tennis, nor
those who went in for cross-country
running. When these are added 1t
will be apparent that over 400 stu
dents will have taken part in some
sport or other during the year.
1t is true that many of these ap-
peared in more than one sport, but
for all that, the total list will come
I'D to the number specified-400 DIFF
ferent men. This is a splendid
showing, and it indicates that Tech
is on the up wave of a tremendous
athletic movement.
Part of the interest is due to the
ACQUISITION Of Grant Field. The
place is so large, there is so much
room for everybody, and it is so ex-
hilarating to see a big bunch Of men
all at work at the same time on the
same field that the effect is con-
tagious; it draws other men down
there who never would have thought
of going on small field or on one
where but couple Of men were at
work.

Pennsylvania is also in vogue at
Tech. 1t is deemed better that stu
dents should get their exercise in
the open air, if possible, rather than
indoors; and so all students that
will try for a varsity team are ex-
cused from gymnasium work. A
great many take advantage OF this
privilege, which accounts in some
measure for the unusually large
squads.
In the writer's opinion the best

hand, have they a large enough ath-
letic field to take care of all that
would flow over onto the field under
such a system.

they should all have larger fields

WANTED
 FOR WHITE WINGS
Some Newly Gathered Facts About
 These Game Birds

Game Warden Willard will try to induce the next legislature to throw more protection about white wings which are, with the quail. the best game birds in this state, and there are tlo better in any other state. That they are not already protected
 IS probably because the legislators who framed our game laws did not understand the habits of the bird.
 II was not known that they nestled in this state but it was generally be- lleved by sportsmen who thought of it at all that they did not come here until after the nesting season. That belief was probably based upon the short stay of the birds
 They usually begin coming into the valley about the middle of May and by the first of July they are here in force. They begin to leave for the south early in September. Their migration is within a short and narrow range Their habitat is in northern Mexico and they are seldom more than fifty miles north of Phoenix. They are not found far either east or west of this valley.
 It has been demonstrated that they nest here for their nests have been found in great numbers in the Buck eye country and elsewhere along the Gila in central Arizona and it is now beginning to be believed that this region is their chief nesting place. The facts concerning them that may be gathered by MT. Willard and his assistants will be laid before the le- giSlature in the next session.
 The legislature will be asked to extend the close season for month
