' The match must be made in public, for I want the pubHc to know on Just what terms I flght and I can't stand for Any more bandages. - A lighter who can't fight without tying- up .his hands in hard bandages cannot do business' with me, and that In all there is to it.

TRIMBLE AND " REILLY TONIGHT Everything: In Readiness for Fast Mill. SEATTLE, Nov. 18. Much Interest Is being taken In the contest between Tommy Reilly and Ben Trimble tonight. Both are men who have appeared in the ring many times and have good fighting records. There -are several new features that Mr. Morrison intends to brrng out at this contest The Armory has been secured and the building is fully large enough to accom modate the crowd. That crowd of men w ho have paid their entrance fee . will not be kept waiting until 10:30 o'clock to see a fight. Both the contestants will be in the rin at 8 o'clock or there will be a forfeit DEADLY SPORT IS FOOTBALL Cripples by the Score and Frequent Fatalities. Though the football season to hardly more thin a month old, death has claimed six victims and over SO have been clppled and injured. Before spring rolls around these figures will be more than doubled, and yet the men In control of our educational Institutions advocate football as a sport for our young men. Football, played as it Is today. Is not a fit game for human beings. It la bru mal and -hazardous, and while It may bring muscle and stamina to those who survive It has cost more human lives and ruined the Uvea of more young men than all the other sports put together. When a cry is raised against football, the game's supporters and the ma jority of these are men whose physical make-up Is eucji that they could not Indulge In the "sport" mane the point that objections only come Trom those who do not understand the game. Per haps this la true, but the list of Injured -and killed which Is made up everyyiear gives evidence which knowledge of the game could not provide. The time must come when the present game of foot ball will be wiped out. The game would not be popular today were It not for the giddy schoolgirls who go- to these con tests with flying colors and do the cheering. They are responsible for many a young man playing football. Pare-nts will c6me to the conclusion ere long that the lives of their sons are worth more than all the honors that might be gained on tn r-iHin Chicago Herald. IRWIN-GARDNER FIGHT TONIGHT Boxers of San Francisco and Their Plans.

There is every Indication of a good at tendance at the Irwin-Billy Gardner bout. Toby . has a host of friends who never miss One of his contests. A great many are anxious to see Gardner his first time out, and all those who follow the dope will be on hand, as there Is every reason to believe they will see a good scrap. Both men are In excellent condition and there will be ne excuses to off for either . on that score. THE CORBETT MATCH NEW YORK. Nov. 18. Billy Madden is anxious to secure a match for either "Denver Ed" Martin, the powerful nejjfo pugilist, or Gus Ruhlin, the "Akron Giant." Billy believes the reason that Corbett will not fight Martin Is that he la afraid to take chances. But he can hot see how the ex-champlon can well evade to "go" with Ruhlin. The Los Angeles Club has offered a purse of $10,000 for such a meeting, ti take place at any time suitable to Corbett. Further more, Madden says the winner-can take all, or the purse can be sp'lt up in this way: 75 and 2$ per cent. If Corbett will sign. Billy will give a bonus of $500 to the old champion.

U.-B!lly Madden, the well-known manager and trainer of boxers, has just come into possession of the splendidly fitted up home of the old Dyker Heights Club, at Eighty-sixth street and Thirteenth avenue, Brooklyn. It is his intention to transform the build ing Into a well-appointed gymnasium, physical culture Institute and social re treat, and It will be opened to the public about December 1. Bowling will be a feature during, the Winter, three alleys of the regulation size now being under construction. The mem bership will be limited to 300. The first 200 will be required to pay 18 a year and the terms for all others will be K a year. Special days will be designed for the entertainment of women. In talking of his new venture, Madden said: "1 have had such a club in view for a long time, and now that I have" purchased the property I propose turning it Into a health restoring establishment in every sense of the word. Nothing will be omitted to have everything first class and pleasant for the members, and no objectionable features will be tolerated. ' FROM MEDICAL STANDPOINT Football Is Boisterous, Dangerous and Brutal. ,- In an article entitled "The Game of Football," the current number of Med ical Talk,' after diarusslng the game from a medical standpoint, concludes:. "One moment the players stand hud dled together, each one bent over the ground intently watching the one In the center who Is about to pass the ball. Every eye Is fixed, every nerve strained and the Instant the ball Is passed the group Is converted Into a struggling mass of humanity, resembling a stam pede from a burning building, where no other law prevails but 'each man for himself and the devil take the hind most.' "Will ever such bravado and bolster ous hardihood be required of one of these young men in reel life? 'We have heard of caees of burning ships, where strong men. crazed with ex citement and fear, have plunged madly through the despairing multitude, strik ing right and left, tramptng to the deck. men. women and children, thinking only of their own safety we have heard of such instances. Perhaps footfall play ing would prepare a man for such a per formance as this. We can Imagine no other practical use for sucn training. Bu( surely It is not for such unherolc purpose as this that the college youth Is preparing himself. AKIN TO PUGILISM. "We do not wish to be interpreted aa upholding pugilism. Two athletes who meet to pound each other Into Insensi bility are scarcely above the. brutes. And yet those contests occur svery day without loss of life and limb. The ac cidents and fatalities of the prize ring cannot exceed, if indeed they -qual. th nocldttnta and fatalitiea-of the football game. And yet the good people decry pugilism, but uphold football games. ' Who can account for this partiality? Is it because the. unlearned and the un cultured and only those who belong to the so-called lower classes delight in pugilism, while it la the learned and cul tured and the upper classes that delight In football? Have these harutfi-scarum hoys forced their rough amnsoment upon the college officials and the college of ficials" In their turn cajoled the public to look with approval upon the rough and tough scrabble for ascendency be tween two football teams? "Would any college in this land dare come out square against football even If it wished to do so? Are not the forces arrayed in favor of football so strong that the eolle president who would dare to oppose the game would soon find the exchequer of his institution suffer ing In consequence and the trustees ldbking for a new president? Is not this or o,withing Hie tbla-he, true ex planation of the curious hold that foot ball playing seems to have upon that portion of society that calls Itself re spectable?" BETTING ON AUTOS. The future race course slang will be something like this: "What line of dope did you get to stick op your- odds?" VI think I'll pike two on the filly with the steam hat." "Say, Jimmy, down to the paddock they tell me the electric colt's got three bum spokes in her left forefoot. Look out fer her." "Flvo er mine goes on that red stallion with the radiator front and the heaves." "Enough 'dog" races at Windsor, but W. P. Kraner. F. J. Patterson. W. P. Kraner & Co.

It was noticed that the wise ones, how ever, banked on the makes like owners on their own when the horses seem fit. and two or. three of them won at long odds. There may be a wide field for a mechanics' ' form sheet on the auto tracks. ' f ' THE RICHEST" HORSEWOMAN Ethel Rockefeller Fond of Fast Horses. Miss Ethel, a daughter of William Rockefeller and niece of the richest man in the world, owns S9 horses, every one of them of the best strain. Recently she entered the field of polite sports at the Westchester (N. Y.) horse show, says the Chicago Chronicle. It was the first time that a Rockefeller had ever taken part in snch a contest. Best of all, one of) Miss Ethel's favorite horses, Tendresse, took not only the first prize, but second and third as well all the ribbons there were, blue, red and yellow In its particular class. Ethel Rockefeller is- her father's favor ite daughter, the youngest child of his household. No wish of hers has he ever denied. She has always been fond of horses.
