day evening Kennedy of Colgate
threw 13 goals from fouls.
Joe Stecker has convinced Boston
wrestling fans, as he has those of the
West, that there are few if any,
wrestlers III the world who can de-
feat him.
Grantland Rice says that if a Will
lard-Moran bout is worth $4,000 the
purse for the Corbett-Sullivan or Cor
Fitzsimmons fight ought to have
been $2,000,000.
Not to be outdone we will offer Jess
Willard and Frank Moran their travel
ing expenses to Brattleboro and guar
antee them 90 per cent of the house
for a 10-round bout
To read the lineup of the Brooklyn
team without finding the name of
ohm Hummell in it will seem strange.
He is to be released. He has been
with the Superbas 10 years.
Fight promoters are breaking into
print daily with offers of quantities
of coin for Willard if he will engage
in a bout under their arrangements.
Up to vet not single real dollar has
been risked by them by the forfeit

The Brown university football eIev-
en- unanimously elected Mark Farnum,
n sophomore, as captain of the 1916
football team. 1t has been many
years since the honor went to any but
q junior.
Laurence Sherman has the grip in
common with about 400 others at

Ex-President Roosevelt, who kept
in condition for strenuous work by
boxing. has been invited to be ore ~of
the Judges at the revival of boxing
contests at Harvard. ''Billy' Sun
day ought to be chosen for another.
and with John L. Sullivan as referee
nobody would notice the boxers.
returning traveller tells of the
growth of golf in Japan. Probably golf
courses come nearer to forming 4
chain around the world than the plants
of any other kind of sport. Soon the
emily thing that will keep a man from
driving his way clear around without
being off of q course will be the water
hazards.

varsity race at Poughkeeps'e las.
