EXPECT CHANGES

NEW YORK, FeD. Il. (Uh(- II
rumors along the boxing rialto -
which produces more gossip than the
cattiest' of sewing circles-are to
be believed, a shakeup of heavy
weight plans for the 1881 season is
in prospect.
Apparently on one is completely
satisfied with the present program
and when the smoke has cleared it
will not be surprising to find a new
lineup OF matches replacing the now
scheduled Carnera- -Maloney, Risko-
Walker and Schmeling- -Stribling
bouts.
The revised program may call for
cancellation of the two Florida bouts
and for Madison Square Garden to
withdraw as promoter OF the
Schmeling- -Stribling bout accepting
an outdoor match at New York be-
tween Primo Camera and Jack
Sharkey as substitute.
If such a program is adopted the
Schmeling- -Stribling bout is certain
to be staged by promoters outside
the jurisdiction of the New York
athletic commission and it is prob
able that the commission would re-
ward the Garden by approving a
September battle between the
notwithstanding and Carnera
Sharkey survivors.
Madison Square Garden still de-
nieS that it has any connection with
the three bouts, but the denials are
taken with great many grains Of
salt.
Jim Farley, chairman of the New
York commission, has criticized the
Garden publicly for resorting tc
subterfugeS on the Schmeling-
Stribling bout and declares that the
Garden will be suspended in event
that the contest is staged by Madi-
son Square Garden corporation OF
Illinois or any other subsidiary pa
per organization. -
Frank Bruen, former Garden vice.
president, and "Pa" Stribling nom
| inally are the respective promoters
Of the Camera -Maloney and Walk
er-Risko bouts, but the fact that
many of the Gardens ablest lieu
! tenants have been "loaned' to the
promoters indicates that the Gar.
den is interested in the shows.

Coast. The brown bear has been dis

bear species, attaining q weight up to
! 200 pounds, and he Is one over whom
bitter battle has been waged.
Considerable pressure had been
brought In Alaska for the determination
of this unique species as dangerous to

lists will be attracted to the northern

the extinction of her grizzlies, and the
