JENKINS TO WRESTLE AGAIN

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-Tom Jenkins,
the former worlds champion wrestler,
and now the wrestling instructor at
the West Point Military Academy,
has decided to take a whir1 at the
big international tournament which
is to be held in Madison Square Gar
den next Wednesday night for the
purpose of starting an elimination
campaign to locate an opponent to
wrestle Frank Gotch for the world S
title. Jenkins decided some time ago
to try the come back" stunt, and
after a siege of hard training slipped
up to Boston on Christmas Day and
carried off first honors and also dem
onstrated that he can still "step

SPR|NTERS OUT TO !.
EVEN OLD SCORES
INTERCHANGEABLE Event at
Tabs Meet Will Bring Old
Rivals Together.
TRACK AND FIELD NOTES

The official entry list for the T. A.
B. Society games next Wednesday.
night at the First Regiment Armory
is being compiled. The A-mile race !
is what the bicycle riders would term
revenge race" as the field includes 7.
Billy Anderson, of Roselle Park;
Jack O'Neil, New York A. c., and
Myles McHugh, Pastime A. c., who
were the contenders for the three E
places in the 1,000-yard race in the
junior national championships last 3
Saturday night at Brooklyn, which,
Anderson won in the last ten yards
of the home stretch.
Weber, the former Pingry School,
star, who holds the scholastic n mile
record, will represent the Elizabeth
Y. M. C. A. in the %-mile run. Coach :
Mccain, of the Betsytown association,
assured Rev. E. F. Quirk that Weber
would be in the best of shape.
Other events on the program tend
to point to a most successful peet,
as almost every event has champions
among the starters.
Prospect Park, Brooklyn, has been
suggested as the site for the next
A, A. u. cross-country race. The adj
vantages of the Brooklyn course are
that there are no macadam roads for
the athletes to traverse and that :,
there is an opportunity to give the
athletes actual hill1and--dale work.
which would be impossible over the
Van Cortland Park route.
Three new records were hung up
in the first of the Illinois Athletic
Club swimming meets last night at !.
Chicago. Harry Hebner and Perry =
McGillivray, of the Illinois aquatic
team, were the record breakers.
Hebner won the 200-yard race in 2
minutes and 81 seconds, beating G. NJ
Daniels's mark by 4 rs seconds. In.
the course of the furlong Hebner
established a new time of 2 minutes
and Z 20 seconds for the 200 yards
lettering C. Healey's former mark 2
of 2:11 1-5. McGillivray Travelled 100
yards in / minute 2-5 seconds, low ;
ering Daniels's record of l minute and
10 seconds. McGillivray also won the
S50-yard swim in the time of II min
utes 80 seconds.
The American athletic team made
a successful showing at the meet at
Palmerston, N. H., yesterday. Regi-
Maid Caughey of California, won the
shot putting event, with forty-five
feet and a quarter of an inch, a new
record for New Zealand.

ing conclusively that he cannot take
his medicine in or out of the ring.
Weinert has yet to plead lack of con-
dition, broken wrist or other ex-
cuses. After Kid Mccoy knocked
out Savage in four rounds, Savage
said he was doped And the funny
part of it is, Leo z, Flynn is the man
who Savage said doped him. If true,
it is apparent that he has never fully
recovered. Savage, with every
physical advantage, and ten years
fight Weinert. And his hackers are
offering EVEN money! They're some
sports, believe me- If Weinert is wise
he won't give them chance. More
power to him-he's all right Yours
very truly, JOE ADAMS.
Mr.. Adams, we take it, is a wise
gentleman. Seems to me we've
heard his stories before. Where do
you get all your information, Joseph?
g
Still they come! Here is another let
ter; this one from a West Orange
sport, who also seems to be on the
inside of pugilistic affairs:
West Orange, N. J., Jan. s.
]. p. N;
/ was quite amused at your article
in a recent issue of The Star about
Leo p. FLYNN. He sent Jim Savage
to Easton, Pa, to box Fred Mckay,
the worlds champion high diver"
Mckay and Savage went up on the
same train, and it was very funny to
listen to the way they were fixing
things up as to who was to take the
"dive" first. Savage said
O.. L.. q
and you, Fred, are alone in the
world
So Mckay decided to take the count
Well, the house was very poor that
night-only $3.50, and it cost 800 for
the theatre, so there was not much
left for the divers" Here is the
funny part of it, though: Leo P.
Flynn was a partner in the show
with a newspaper man in Easton.
The two high divers" looked the
house over, and Mckay told Savage in
one of the clinches:
"Hit me on the jaw and I'll go
out"
But it took Savage four rounds be-
fore he could hit the spot. although
Mckay held his jaw out often enough
for blind man to hit 1t.
LITTLE MINCH.
Savage admitted in a talk with me
that he and Mckay were on the same
train going to Easton, but, according
to Jim, 1t was purely accidental. Man
ager Flynn declares he wasn't either
on the train or at Easton, where the
fight was held, but instead he was at
Providence, where he had another
fighter doing a turn. Both Flynn and
Savage are much incensed over the
gossip that is going the rounds that
Mckay took a "Brodie," but others
who say they know are sure that such
was the case.
From what one can hear, Mr.. Nc
Kay is the champion oliver" of the
world, and he is still In that business,
according to Percy Woodruff, who
tells a few things of what he knows
about this diving" business.
"Over at Madison Square Garden
Monday night" Woodruff said, INC
Kay tipped his hand off as being in
the diving business. He told
Weinert that he would lay down to
him, as he was laying down to all
the big fellows around New York"

fully fast on his feet. He is in and
out and away and back again like
phantom. With McAllister it is
different. Bob stands right up to
his work. He forces matters, and
when his opponent makes an assault
he stands heroically and blocks the
attack with his hands. He doesn't
back off nor side-step, like Gibbons,
and he fights very much like. some
of the good old-timers. AS to the out
come, McAllister should win the day,
if he fights as we'll as he fought
against Levinsky. Then, perhaps,
Weinert will be able to do some bust
ness with the man from California.
C
Although Percy Woodruff has said
repeatedly that he would not allow
Charley weinert to fight Dim Savage
Jim's friends are still hopeful OF
bringing about such a match PC
all the pleadings, however, Woodruff
turns a deaf ear and says emphat-
ically that he will have nothing to
do with Savage. In the meantime
Jim is getting more publicity than he
has ever received in his pugilistic
career, for which he should be duly
grateful
G
just to show the faith that
Savage's hackers have in Jim's
prowess, some of them have banded
together and posted $500 in the hands
Of w. F. Kearney to go as forfeit
for a side bet of $500. That is a
most bnsiness-like way of doing
things, but Manager Woodruff says
there will be nothing doing for ever
so long. Anyway, there isn't any
harm in printing the communication
which tells of the 500 posted and the
desire to make the match. It fol-

Kindly publish the following in to-
morrow nights sporting sheet: The

the sum of 500 with me as a forfeit

One moment, please, Mr.. Adams
will tell you a few facts! Hold the
wire Let us not lose sight of the
fact that Jim Savage himself started
the controversy with Charley Wei
merit For a couple of weeks after
the Weinert-Levinsky bout Savage
went around telling everybody how
easily Weinert beat the Battler.
When certain New Workers realized
the tremendous drawing power of
Weinert, they Immediately sent for
Savage and told him he was under
their management. ~ Did they want
Savage before Weinert's bout with
Levinsky? They did-NOT. Why
did Savage, as soon as he was under
the new management go to a certain
writer in Newark and tell him that
Weinert was entitled to only n draw?
Because he was sent there for that
purpose. Now, when Weinert comes
back at him he hollers murder. prov

TO CHANGE HOCKEY RULE

NEW YORK, Jan. 9--On account of
the numerous controversies which
have come up in the Amateur Hockey
League during the past few seasons,
and especially this season, over the
eligibility of Canadian players, it is
likely that the rules of the league will
be changed in the near future. Ac-
cording to the present code, player
must be a resident six months before
he can play with any club. 1t is now
planned to shorten this time require
ment to two months.

REFUSED
ENTRY To EXETER
Scholastic Sprint Marvel's Diff
iiculty With Mercersburg
Causes His Rejection.
COLLEGE SPORT DOINGS

Exeter track prospects were fiuc-
tuated temporarily yesterday by the
application for admission of Albert
e. Robinson, the wonderful schoolboy
sprinter, who was recently expelled
from Mercersburg Academy for alleged
infraction of rules. However. the
boom was enjoyed but momentarily
as later in the day Professor Tufts, OF
the faculty, announced that the schol-
astic record holder would not be ad-
mitted as the result of a reply to q
query addressed to the Mercersburg
Academy, querying as to the facts
concerning the discharge of the
sprinter from that school. Robinson
returned to his home at Westbrook,
Mass. 1t is understood that he will
attempt to enter a preparatory school
in the vicinity of Chicago.
Irving T. Howe, the former captain
of Boston English High School, is
also an applicant for admission to
Phillips Exeter.
Yale expects to have an excellent
baseball team this spring, judging by
the class of the material. The Ellis
have lost only three men. Princeton
is affected by the loss of the same
number, while Harvard has four va
cancies to fill The men of last years
baseball team at New Haven who
have graduated are Riddell, first
base; Schofield left field, and Bur-
dett catcher. OF these three Riddell
appears to be the greatest loss.
Tufts defeated Amherst at hockey
last night in the Boston Arena, Bos-
ton. The score was IL to L.
Swarthmore defeated New York
University last night by score of "a

in the final period and reversed af-
fairs.
Brown and Penn State have been
dropped from the 1914 football sched-
ule of the University of Pennsylvania
football team, according to rumors
yesterday about the quadrangle. The
Navy will take the place of the Prov
idence college on the schedule of the
Quakers. Brown was dropped from
the Penn schedule for the reason that
no satisfactory date could be ar
ranged. Penn State lost its game be-
cause every year since 1890 the two
teams have played such football that
il took several weeks before the play
ers could recover from the effects of
the battling. Swarthmore will prob
ably be booked in place Of the up
staters. Michigan and Dartmouth
will be opponents this fall
Penn football men donned toys yes
terday and INDUCED in the first of the
winter workouts. An effort will be
made to teach football to Michael
Dorzias, the Greek athlete and college
strong man. Three prizes are to be
offered by Coach Brooke-one to the
best punter, another to the best drop
kicker and one to the best all-round
football man.
Columbi will swim City College, OF
New York, tonight in the first meet

Columbia College will use numbers
