CHANGE IMPOSES
 FINE ON CALDWELL
Breaking Training Rules Will Cost New York Pit
 cher $50

Houston. March 9-That Manager Frank Chance of the Highlanders meant every word he said when he
 laid down the training rules to be followed this year was evidenced yes- terday when he imposed fine of $50
 on Ray Caldwell, the big pitcher. Caldwell was the first player to break
 the rules.
 Chance had lot of trouble with Caldwell last season ,and warned him that if he were not careful he would follow in the footsteps of many other
 headstrong players who, suddenly drop ped out of baseball. Only the other
 day Chance remarked that he was de- lighted to see the way CaIdwtn was
 working this spring, and hoped he
 had decided to follow advice. But the crafty manager went to Caldwell's room the other night to see if he were in bed Not finding him there. Chance waited dp for him. The summary fine resulted. When the Haghlanders arrived here Chance informed them that he would not tolerate any player who did not attend strictly to training, and he made it clear that if any of the men wanted to do any Broadway training they would be sent to that part Of the country very promptly. Chance made up his mind not to stand for drinking no matter how good the player might be.

CHARLEY MITCHELL.
 NEVER HELD A TITLE

ies ChantiIIy, France, isn't much of a city, as cities go, but it has one claim to innm0rtaIity-it was the memorable battle for the heavy weight championship of the world between John L. Sullivan and Charley Mitchell twenty-sfx years ago come tomoEroW. March 10,
 1888. The visitor to ChantiIIy Is pointed out the site of the great p1lgflictic engagement which went thfrty-nine rounds to a draw, and
 which came so near to resulting a defeat Of the big Irish-Amerf- can dreadnought by the small
 but speedy British cruiser.
 Missing by so narrow a margin
 the goal of the worlds heavy
 weight title, Mitchell has gone down in ring history as the great. est fighter of the near-cfanpiorf- ship class. In his prime Mitchell called himself eboxing champion of England, ,'' but for all his aI,fI-
 ity with his fists he never had a
 bona fde and generally recognized
 title of any kind. He was handi-
 capped by Lack of weight, being
 nearer 8 msiddIeweight than a ; heavyweight, although too heavy for the former division.
 Several times in recent years.
 Mitchell, who is now about fifty-' six, has been reported to be dying
 of dropsy and kidney disease, but
 he has always escaped the final
 sleep punch. He made a fortune fin the ring and inherited another
 from his father-in-law, Pony
 Moore, and is said to still possess
 a large bundle of the needfuI
 Mitchell first fought John L.. 2 Sullivan in 1883, only 8 short time after the Boston Strong Boy
 annexed the title from Paddy
 Ryan. The Eng1ishman was then legitimate mdddleweight, and
 seemed a pygmy in comparison
 with Sullivan when the pair en- E tered the ring at Madison Square < Garden. John l.. proposed to E knock him out in three rounds,
 but Char1ey's cIeveEness at 67odg- E ring generalsllip enabled him to stick the limit. In the second
 round he surprised and delighted
 spectators by sending Sullivan to E the floor. Most of Sulivan's op-
 ponents had been defeated men
 before entering the ring, scared to death by fear of John LIS naiI-Hke fists. John had only to
 below and snort and glare to send them topp1ing over for the count In Mitchell he met a man who knew no fear, and all of SuIH- vans fearSome and ferociOus
 tactics had no effect on the little Englishman. When they met in France Mitchell was really the victor. The battle lasted three hours and eleven minutes, when
 both men were too exhausted to continue. By mutual consent the
 bout was to be called 8 draw un- less a knockout was scored, and so Sullivan retained his title. The great Englishnnan quit the ring twenty years ago, following his 1 defeat by Jim Corbett at Jack f SonEiIe.
