Egyptian Tomb Dating To
5000 B. c. Is Mo0ed Into
New Quarters in New York


New York, Feb. 1.-THE MetropOli-
tan Art Museum now boasts the only
real Egyptian tomb ever transplanted
bodily from its original surroundings.
The tomb is that of Pernab. a high
functiOnary of the court Of one of the
PharaOhs, and dates from about 5000
B. c. In order to accommodate it the
Museum authorities had to build a spe-
cial addition to their structure, and
while apparently all Of it is within the
Museum walls the tomb back OF the
facade is built out into an inner court
Some Of the original colOring OF the
exterior of the tomb is gone but the
beauty of the design is still to be seen.
The wall decorations, including two
portraits Of Pernab, are now covered
with glass for protection. On either
side Of the hall in front OF the tomb
are cases containing vessels of differ
ent kinds taken from the original
tomb. and n few bones. the last re-
mains of Pernab, who now finds n

round draw, but the sensational bout
of the evening was that between Bar
ron and Gotham This was at 123
pounds and while Barron won shade
decision, his opponent was always
ready to mix and it was a slambang
affair from start to finish.
Hawes of the Goth and Roach Of the
Eighth cavalry met in the windup, a
15-round affair Halves scaled in at
152 pounds, an advantage Of four
pounds over his opponent This was
an even-up affair and referee Herrick
called it a draw. The distance. was
really too far for the condition Of the
men.

BOUT EXPENSIVE
Wrestling Fans Are Won
dering at the Cost of
Championship Match

New York, Feb. New Workers
are wondering how much it will cost
to bring the young wonder, Joe Stech-
er, and the old irresistible, Frank
GOtch. together on the mat
1t cost Tex Richard 100000, in adj
dition to bonuses, to bring Jim Jeffries
and Jack Johnson together at Reno.
New. and while Wrestlers have never
received as much as pugilists in the
general run of championship matches,
it is certain that a new record in
wrestling purses viii be made when
GOtch finally signs for his grapple
with Stecher. Whether the match will
prove as disappointing to those that
witness it as the JOhnsOn-J effries ba--
tie did to the spectators who gath
cred at the Nevada ringside on July 4,
1910. only time can tell
As general rule, wrestlers hold
their graphing ability for number OF
years beyond the point where fighters
begin TO slip back. Jeffries was 50
when Johnson, at the age of 80, wrest-
ed his title from him. OGtch is 50 and
Stecher %, and while the latter has
made remarkable record to date.
many think that Gotch's long career
and wrestling experience viii offset
the advantage of Strecher's youth. In
fact. some wrestling experts figure
that the Nebraska grappler is too
young to tackle Gotch. Certain it is
that n study Of the latter's mat record
impresses one with the formidable per
formances of the man when taken in
connection with the well known fact
that he has always been moderate and
methOdical in his habits and training.
GOtch. who is five feet II and one
half inches tall and weights about 30
pounds in condition, has won more
than 100 Of the 172 time handicap or
finish bouts in addition to throwing
more than 200 opponents in Is minute
exhibition or invitation bouts in this
country and Canada.
During his foreign tour he met and
conquered about half that number.
Stecher measures six feet one inch
in height and strips at about 200
pounds. He has wrestled more than so
matches and has never lost a decision,
although held to a nO-fall match by
Stranger Lewis and George Turner.

About 20 men will answer the call

Capt clinton r. Black, the captain of
next falls team, viii act as an aide
to Jones, who viii be in charge of
the actual work. Sweeney also will
lend hand for a while and will look
particularly after the physical condi-
ton of the men. Blacks chief work
for the present aside from doing his
own spring training to keep down his
rising weight viii be to post Jones
as to the merits and dement's OF the
material
Brinck Thorne, Vance Mccormick and
Johnny Fitzpatrick, the members Of the
committee that finally chose Tad Jones
for head coach at Yale, were having
one of their many conferences about
a month before their selections were
announced They had before them the
name OF Jones and three others and
seemed unable to decide among them.
Fitzpatrick suddenly recalled the story
about Jones as a player back i'm 1907
how he knelt down. stretched forth his
hands and prayed for victory Just be-
fore the Princeton game The story
had it's effect. From that moment on.
Jones was the favored candidate. ac-
cording to another prominent Yale man
who had privileged TO attend the com
mittee councils.
A large number of graduates and
undergraduates at Yale have inaugu-
rated a movement aiming toward the
cancellation Of the games with Wash
ington and jefferson after next falls
contest They want to drop W. and j.
from tho schedule because of the
roughness of last years contest be-
ha frnc
Yale, in which several of the Blues
players were injured so that the team
was hurt for the remainder of the sea-
son.
Those behind the movement over
look two very important facts First
the game was the toughest of the sea-
son for W. and J., Just as it was the
toughest for Yale; the Pennsylvanians
made the same complaint Of rOughness
against Yale that Yale made against
them. only in a less spectacular way.
II simply happened to be rough game.
one in which each side was full OF
fight. The second thing to be con-
sidered is that Washington and JEFF
fersOn will have a new coach next sea-
son. Bob Folwell having left to be-
come coach of the University Of Penn
svlvania. Sol Metzger is the new
coach at W. and J. His clean and
sportsmanlike way Of doing everything
is known universally in the college
world
II the Yale-W. and J. game next fan
is full of unnecessary rOughness, we
miss our guess. and so will Nike Swee-
ney. who knows Metzger's work and
viii WELD all his influence to keep the
Red and Black on the Blue schedule.
Instead of causing a rupture between
the two institutions. we feel sure that
the recent agitation at Yale will act
as a boomerang and simply cement
closer relations than ever.

TAN FRANCISCO. Cal, Feb. 12-The
two heavyweight boxers, Jess VIII
- lard and Frank Moran, continue
to receive but scant courtesy at the
hands OF sporting writer's on the Paci-
fio slope. Both Of them have boxed in
this city and the exhibitions they put
up were more or less the Laughing
stock of regular ring followers. That
they have improved some in the past
year or two is not denied but when
promoters talk Of charging from s. to
S25 to see them in action over only ten
rounds. the local sporting men are
willing to concede the palm for enthu-
siasm or whatever else It may be, to
their eastern brothers who are willing
to pay the price.
Not one man in ten here it is said,
expects any result from a ten round
bout. As far as the temper Of the
california ring follower is concerned,
nothing less than 90 rounds TO a de-
cision viii satisfy. Few look for n
Knockout I'm ten rounds, the only way
i'm which the championship over that
distance under the no decision rule can
change hands.
II the comments OF the baseball fans
are worth anything IL does not appear
that managers Berry and McCredie Of
the San Francisco and Portland teams
themselves or the league any good by
their quarrel over the question Of
whether or not Berry is financially in
terested i'm more than one team on the
circuit
with the financial and commercial
side Of all professional sports especially
boxing and baseball coming more and
more to the front, there seems TO be an
unmistakable feeling OF revulsion
against all these business details on
the part Of the public which primarily
is Interested in the sport itself.
Sporting writer's have not minced
words i'm the matter Of the Berry Nc
Creole quarrel which they have con-
demned as injurious TO the game on
the coast.
According to all reports, hopes are
running high at the present time for
