Fltaslm mona, since his acquiring property at Bath Beash. N, T., has Induced the Brooklyn Bapid Transit Company to give its patrons much better service.. He has an excellent piece of property there, and it la a very profitable one.' Fltsalmraons , experienced a (Teat deal of opposition to prevent him buying; the property there, but It was only by getting a friend to buy it for, htm. and then to transfer it to him that he acquired the title. Billy Madden, the, well-known flstie promoter, U also located on Long Island, and has started a physical culture school at Pyker Heights, and. has already, nearly too applicants for his school. - ...

Is due here, in a few days. He so writes The Journal, and wants an engagement with a prominent welterweight. Tommy Ryan, now of Kansas City, has side-stepped out of his match with Phlla . delphla Jack O'Brien, having failed to cover the latter's $1,000 forfeit now In the bands of Al 8ml th of New Tork for a match" with him for th middleweight championship. "Kid" McCoy, who Is now In England, recently declined a meeting with George Gardner before the Fort Erie (N. Y.) CuHv The elusive "Kid" writes: "The purse offered $2,500 is not large-enough. I-will not meet Gardner -unless $5,000 Is offered." jack Jeffries, brother to Jim, the heavy weight champion, has Issued a challenge to Jack Johnson, the colored boxer of Los Angeles, who recently defeated Fred Russell. - 3 ' Peter Maher, nothing daunted by his recent defeat by Kid Carter, Is to box Sotri ("Jabben") Carey six rounds at hlladaiphla within the next two weeks. , Jem : Palmer, England's heavyweight champion.

Palm er permits Charlemont to use hflS feet, whereas Palmer will only depend on the English style. The affair Is for eight rounds. . - Champion Jeffries says he expects to ! -in New- Tork at an early date and that be may make a match or two with some of the heavyweights who have been anxious to meet him.. In a letter to FredH Block, the Gotham sportsman, the cham pion writes; - "I am in better health than I have been in years and it feeling counts for anything t ought to hold the title for years. 1 anyaoxious to visit New Tork and look xv my old frienda - As to my match with Jim Corbett. I cannot say. Up to date I have not agreed to box him." Joe 'Gbddard,. the Australian heavy weight boxer, .- who - was . recently shot ia the head by a. constable tn an election riot In Camden, N.

The big feHow Immediately grasped at the offer, -thinking ha could. easUy de stroy Munroe, but th husky miner easily sidestepped him. beside Jabbing him sev eral hard punches.' once forcing, Jeffries to his knees . Now Jeffries la sore very sore. He does not seem to care for the quarter of a thousand dollar, that we dropped, but he is ill at ease, to think that In th first' time In his career a de cision has been rendered against him. Jeffries said that If the fight had gone on round more he could have knocked Munroe out. ' The champion questions the decision of th umpire, and claims that his action was unwarranted. Now that Jeffrie has been stopped. "Lanky1.' Bob will do som shivering In his spotted skin, since .he made a bet that he eouW knock Juunroe out inside of four rounds. - Munroe is a hard, heavy fighter, full of grit and speed, .and will undoubtedly make, things decidedly fnteresting for the fight ers who are roaming about the country seeking the destruction of men and the replenishment of their treasuries. Manager Clark Ball will meet Munroe today and endeavor to arrange a go be tween Fltssimmohs and Munroe, to take place next week. Several millionaires of Butte have offered a wager of $1,000 that no man in the Northwest, barring Jeffries and Fttsslmmons, can stand against Munroe 10 rounds. This was an nounced late last night. RUHLIN AND FITZSIMMONS. Billy Madden' efforts to bring about a struggle between Que Ruhlln and Botr Fltsslmmona aeems to ..have stirred up the fistic clubs throughout the country to bid for th prospective mill. Ever sine th encounter was first broached, M&d den has received a number of offers, the J latest coming from a ciud in : Chicago. BMly got word to give a purse of $7,000 or 50 per cent of the gat receipts for a six-round ; bout between Ruhlin and "Lanky Bob, th same to be held som time In February. This la $4,000 more than the Perm Art Club' Of Philadelphia Is willing to give. It la estimated that the receipts of such a battle would not be less than $80,000. for; Chicago just now Is an xeelleni stamping ground for glove contests.-. Madden wired his ac ceptance, and the only thing necessary now to clinch things Is for Fits to-accept. The offer has been mailed to him and he may be heard from any day. ' It la understood that there will be no objection by . the authorities to this mill, as both pugilists sr wall liked in the Windy City. It is said that the mayor Is in favor of the bout, and will grant a permit In case It Is ratified. " SaaorsCUiniHiva assssweg? y ' Requirements at WesttPpfnt; Are Unfair ,to Annapolis PljjsktnHcn. ; ' At the next meeting of th representa tives of the football teams of West Point and Annapolis eligibility rule will be dis cussed. The fact that th regulation admit students to West Point who ar two years older than those -who xan.en ter Annapolis has caused a, gwod deal of discussion at Annapolis,-and an effort will be made at the meeting to fram rules which shall be as stringent as those at the big colleges, wher the. one year residence and the four years' playing rules are enforced. Annapolis students declare that If thtwo academies had the same rules as Harvard and Tale. Daly, Torney, Bunker and Graves would not hav played on th West Point team, while none of their team would come under such a rule if adopted. A base ball gam has already bean arranged between the two Institutions, and before the football gam for next year Is de cided upon the effort will be mad to es tablish eligibility rules.- Tha baseball teams have won on gam each, and tha football teams four each, so It is thought to bs a proper time to make th new rules. BTATUB OF MEMBERS. The cadets at the two Institutions hav not, however, taken Into consideration the effect of such rules upon the War and Navy Departments, and before they take any radical steps tSey would better find out the feeling m regard to th matches. In the first place, the question of bona fide students at tha colleges ha been the most' Important n tn decid ing the status of members of the various teams. This question cannot com up at either West Point or . Annapolis, as entrance examinations do not go by fa vor, no matter how good an athlete a candidate may be. Every man at th two Institutions is there on his merits, and football, baseball and other sports are recreations which must be Indulged in only when there Is nothing lsd to do, and they are not allowed to Interfere with drill or studies. Those' who tak part In the sports have to do so when' the time fits, and no concessions of any kind are made to- athletes. If eligibility rules are made for the games between the two Institutions other than the only one possible that each member of the team shall be a cadet ther will be trouble at all times, and It any squab ble ensufs over a game the Departments might take the best means of settling it forbidding the games. West Point and Annapolis have nothing to gain or lose In, their recreatory sports, and the cadets Would better let .rules ,,apne jaj,far. a, eligibility la i concerned. FACOLTT MEETING. At a recent meeting of th faculty of the Montana 8tafe Agricultural College held at Boseroan, final steps were taken to Join the Northwest Intercollegiate As sociation. The report was made that nearly all the nine Institutions repre sented at the conference at Spokane last October had Joined." - The new league be gins operations January 1. - ' v 4 Btagg has announced his intention of giving his football men Winter work.

Vw ' , . t GOVERNOR WILL - ' STOP THE FIGHT Terry HcGovern and Young Cor .bctt Cannot Battle at Detroit. " Latest developments In the efforts of .Young Corbett and Terry McQovern to get on a fight will give those who hav been out after the mtil with the axe ever since it waa first announced another op portunity to touch it up and do a little ta.k about there' being something doing. There is no doubt that the fighter knew before they awarded th fight to Detroit that they would meet with the opposition of Governor Bliss if they attempted to pull off the mill -.there, and It cannot be understood why they went ahead with their plans when sure of such strong op Sosit!on..' - . .'?' :-. GOVERNOR-WILL INTERFERE. Several . Detroit' newspapers published an interview wtth Governor Bliss In which he said that he Would stop the fight at leaat $4 hours before the fight was award ad to Detroit .Th men will be accused of hunting up battlegrounds where they are sur that -th officials will Interfere and make the fight Impossible. Th effect of . awarding- the fight to Detroit Is the same as It has been in all other parts of the eountry-that place la closed to1 all fighters. The mere an nouncement that th fight was going to be held In Baltimore had the effect of stopping the 'gam down there, and hereafter only 10-round bouts, will be al lowed. It is probable that In Michigan fights of all kinds will be stopped, LAW IS, SEVERE. The efforts, of these youngsters to get on a fight is doing more Injury to the gam than several men killed In. th ring- would' hav done. The law In Michigan Is so strict on the question of lighting.' that ' It -cannot be conceived how the fighters ever got it Into their heads to go there,' According to the law, prise fighting ia a feluny punishable by five years imprisonment and a fine of $2,000. Not many ef th i Differs would take a chance with a game of that klnd. If the fight is pulled off In the state and the fighters escape, they can be pursued all over the country like criminals and brought back, to Michigan to face the charges against thee. The law provldea that the men who have anything to do with arranging the fight are as guilty aa the principals, and , the newspapera are not allowed to mention the mill. The law goes even beyond this and hoida all spectators guilty of breaking the law. and they are subject to 'fines and imprison ment. With such a law in force it seems as though the fighters and the promoters must- have been joking when they met and formally awarded the fight to De troit. There does not seem to be the re motest possibility of-pulling off the nht. and the best thing the youngsters can do is drop it entirely, for s while at lesst. Sam Harris, manager for . Terry McQov ern. seems to be willing, as he has not been, heard from, .through the papers for a long time. Corbett whipped McQovern once In a decisive fashion, and is the un disputed -chamirtoirt,' s there 'is " no rea son, why he shpuld. fight MaQovvrn agvm. There are plenty of other good men In his class In the country he has not whipped yet. and the belt thing he can do Is go about and hunt them up and drag off the coin while he is in a position to do it.
