Jack O'Brien's Triumph.
" Quite a 'gathering' was on' hand at
Philadelphia the other day. to welcome

manager, H. W. Schllchter of the Phila

who scored nothing but successes during
his tour, said Jie was more than pleased
at the treatment he received at the hands
of the managers of the Western clubs,
but was glad once more .to be back in
the Quaker City. The following is the
itinerary of the coming world's middle

The Oregon Dally Journal, ssys: "I
weighed but 155 pounds when I bested
"Kid" carter recently, . and stand ready
to meet George Gardner, providing the
letter agrees to make 168 pounds at
ringside." O'Brien does not see why
he should be expected to fight men out
of his class. O'Brien laughed when told
that "Kid" carter was going to the Pa
cific Coast. "I guess he is not anxious
to fulfill the promise he made when he
said he would stop me in six rounds.

Pugilists ' Peculiarities.
Many -Mixers have peculiarities in their
work which are of interest to followers
of the ring. James J. Corbett' s penchant
for handoall Is well known, and In a re
cent work on the leading lights of pugil
ism it is said that his training camp
could often be discovered by the glisten
ing structures of white pine he would
cause to be erected as soon as he decided
to settle in any locality. Overindulgence
in. this game, by the way. was thought
to have caused his condition and state
ness when he fought Fltsslmmons.
It is to Bob Fltsslmmons. however,
that the seeker after curiosities must
go. Any freak play seems to appeal to
the former champion while at work, al
though it must be confessed that his
choice of odd training systems has al
ways been made up with considerable
shrewdness.
At Carson City for instance, while
preparing for his bout with Corbett, he
had several ideas of his own. Two of his
stunts were sawing wood and throwing
a heavy hammer head around. He
claimed ' that the use of' the saw
strengthened all the muscles of the back
and shoulders and increased his hitting
powers without lessening its speed. It
certainly would, appear as If he was right
In his claims on this point
Brooklyn Tommy Sullivan may be
credited with having introduced an in
novation. That Js, training In an auto
mobile. When Young Corbett vjbs preparing
at St Louis for his bout with Dave. Sul
livan, which never took place, he used
dumb bells steadily. He would dance on
a wrestling mat for three quarters of an
hour 'at a time, shadow fighting and
waving dumb bells around.

This family interest dates from 1866,
Just after the war, when the elder Bel

John Hunter. William A. Travers and
others founded the American Jockey
Club, and reinstated racing In the posi

The Flelschmanns of Cincinnati are

to have been their standard bearer. ;

Arthur Featherstone is the many times

the winners ofthe Metropolitan and

owned the mighty Mesmerist, and a

credited with running the most expensive
stable for its size in the country. He
thinks himself lucky if his expenditures
do not rise to more than $10,000 a year
over his stable winnings.
J. B. Haggin. the Californtnn, has a

which produces several hundred yearlings
each year, which are sold round New

and stallions Is of ..world-wide renown
and passes up into several millions. This
year he has been prominent with a
number of fairly good horses, but sev

them has won him the laurels which

day, did last year.

with full powers to manage and sign for
the team. Mr. Grim, it is understood.
ha signed four new players, and is also
negotiating a to securing a number of
player of well-known reputation. In
reply to the query that his team had no
local backing, he made positive denial
of such assertion, and added "the team
has local backing, and plenty of It, but.
of course, there is plenty of room for
more additions. He declined, however,
to name any of the parties Interested
financially or otherwise, but added:
"The association will stand behind us,
and If we need any men we can get them
from the minor leagues. Jay Andrews
will be found at the third bag of the

President J. P. Marshall of the newly-

According to San Francisco baseball

Chess at Monte Carlo. $
Eugene Delmar, one of the 14 players
selected by Arnous de RKlere of Paris in
the forthcoming International Chess
Master's tournament at Monte .Carlo,
was seen by a reporter at the Manhattan
Chess Club recently. The veteran said
that he was highly honored by being
selected to play but though he had at
nrst intended to take part In the contest
business would prevent him from going
abroad this season.
Delmar was Very much disappointed
at Marshall being crowded out and he
suggested cabling to Paris requesting
Riviere to accept Marshall as his sub
stitute. A dispatch was forwarded and
In reply Riviere cabled yesterday that
he would accept Delmar's suggestion and
accept Marshall as a competitor. Riviere
at the same time cabled that It Is doubt
ful whether -Marocsy and Schlechter
would be able to come to Monte Carlo,
that the final and full program had been
Issued and that a copy of It had been
forwarded.
College Rowing Gossip.
The rowing authorftles at Cornell are
making great preparations to turn out
three winning crews In the spring, and
to that end more than 200 men have btnm
training dally on the machines for the
various crews to represent the red and
white. This Is by far the largest num
ber that has ever been gotten together
for winter work on the machines. Coach
Courtney is particularly pleased because
more than 160 members of the freshman
class are trying for the class crews. For
these reasons Courtney feela aafe In pre
dicting that Cornell -will be able to de
fend her supremacy on the water with
out much trouble.
Cornell men are unmistakably delight
ed that Harvard so readily consented to
be represented by an eight In the Junior
crew race which Is to take place on Lake
Cayuga some time In May. There are
now nve crews enterea as follows:
Pennsylvania, Cornell, Columbia, Har
vard and Syracuse.
HARVARD ON HAND.
A memoer of the Cornell rowing com
mittee says that, in his opinion. Harvard
will be seen In the Poughkeepsle regat
ta on the Hudson as soon as matters can
he adjusted. This is taken to mean that
Harvard men are opposed to the Yale s
excluslveness In persisting in holdiag a
dual regatta every year on the Thames
at New London, Instead" of being repre
sented in the big intercollegiate regatta
on the Hudson. If the Crimson does
break away from this meeting. It will
mean that Tale will be compelled to row
the other big universities or give up
rowing altogether.
It was because of the fact that Tale
would not consent to let the University
of Pennsylvania In the triangular regat
ta between Harvard. Cornell and Yale in
the middle '90s that Cornell, withdrew
from that meeting. This feeling Is
heightened by the treatment which
Coach Courtney received at Harvard this
fall when ne superintended the work or
the Harvard crew for their fall regatta.
Oarsmen in general are going to make
a concerted move to Induce the stewards
of the American Rowing Association to
change the date of the first "American
Henley," which la scheduled, to be held
on the Schuylkill (at Philadelphia) July

"Looking back once more over the
football tteason there appears to be One
lesson which we should especially heed.
This season the physical condition of
the men seems to have been pretty ac
curately reflected in the scores. We be
lieve that we are voicing the consensus
of undergraduate and football opinion
when we say that the lesson we have
learned la the necessity of havina a
Sralner for the football team. At Penn
sylvania the strongest team were de
veloped under the care of Murphy. Now
that he has gone to Yale, the. New Ha
ven eleven la the strongest on the grid
iron. The name of KoblnBon of Prince
ton Is well known In football clrcleB.
Practically all the teams which play a
consistently strong game during the en
tire season have the benefit of the skill
of a trainer."
In reply to this editorial. Richard 8.
Smith, captain of the 'US team, has is
sued the following statement:
'The graduate coaching system has
proved Itself all that was to be hoped
for: that it will be a permanent fea
ture can be seen by Jhe vigorous and
successful efforts put forth to Induce
William Kaymond Morley to head the
coaching staff for 1903. Besides an ex
perienced coaching staff. an efficient
trainer will be secured und-tlie men wiU
he kept In the best condition possible.
Every effort Is being made to arrange a
schedule that will bring out to the best
advantage the, ability of the team, and
the present outlook Is very encouraging
for a successful season."
The Spectator replies, as follows:
"We are very glad that Captain
Smith is in favor of our policy. - His
statements give us welcome assurance
as to the attitude of the football team.
Next year we trust that we shall be
able to attribute a successful season.
In some measure, to the fact that Col
umbia has an able trainer."
