Oakland, Sacramento, Port land, Seattle. Tacoma, Spokane, Butte and Salt Lake. According to this sched ule Helena is to be dropped out of the race and Salt Lake substituted. When President Lucas was seen about the proposition he said: "I knuw nothing about such a propo sition. It has not been made to me and 1 do not believe that the clubs would consider it without consulting me. I am ' against such a scheme and do not be lieve it will work." President Garratt of the Spokane Club said that he was not officially aware of any such plan. The matter of settling the difficulty has been left in the hands of the national board, and they have written that they expected an early set' tlement of the difficulties, but on what basis no one knows.

Y., recently, Senator Janws Frawley; one of Tammany's new men in the -Legislature, put on the gloves with Ex-Champion James J. Corbett at a local gymnasium. Several of the Sena tor's legislative friends witnessed the ex hibition and did what they could to cheer him. The boxing- bout lusted two rounds. The ex-champlon of the world was In good trim and he landed several blows which Senator Frawley thought- were unconstitutional. Corbett was able to appear with his show, but the Tammany Senator retired early. T0U see," FraWley explained-, " after he left the gymnasium, "I wasft't feeling llrst rate, and so we only boxed a couple of rounds. I let Corbett off easy." Kid Parker Talks.

On his arrival he will be taken care of by Tom Carroll of Fruit- LITTLE BY LITTLE Is.tjie Wnyhe Luxuries of Life Are 'Accumulated. NEW HAVEN. Coun., Jan. SO. After having reorganised buaeball methods at Yale, Walter Camp ha started In to re organise the Track Association. Last fall Mr. Camp reorganized the training methods of the football team and placed them on an eitlrely new basis. Before him, F. W. AlN the new captain, had wrked out a new system in boating. which has finally culminated in the prac tical supremacy of John Kennedy as rowing coach under the direction of a graduate. The reorganization broiiKht about in boating by Mr. Allen was by far the most radical that Yale has undergone since the early days of n,,b Cook in any branch of .sports. The Manges in foot ball were minor compared to those In augurated by Mr. Allen In rowing. The recent changes in basi lmll were Impor tant, but still not so important as those in rowing. Now comes the change of systems in track athletics, which, in brief, is the placing of this branch of sport under tho supervision Of a graduate commit tee. This graduate committee wilt take the place of a graduate head roach who i .,' 1 " now stands at the .heart of every other i afford jus uruncii ui sport m nut'. In rowing there is the head coach, In HOW TO GET A CIG ONE ALL AT ONCE AT LITTLE COST.

The 20-round boxing contest between Jimmy Brltt and Young Corbett may not take place, after all, in San Francisco next month, as scheduled. The Yosemite Club of San Francisco offered a sub' stantial percentage for the bout and Young Corbett was about to accept Brltt s proposal to weigh 128 pounds at a o clock when a representative of rival San Francisco club offered him a purse of $5,000 to meet the winner of the Attell-Hanlon bout. Corbett was Inclined to accept this offer until in formed that, the Yosemite Club was the onty orgam at ion authorized to give a contest during February. The Yosemite Club reflused to make an offer for Cor bett and the winner of this bout, con fining rts efforts to the matching of Cor- pett and Brltt. unless Corbett agrees the Yosemite Club will match Brltt with Benny Yang er or McOoverwrfor Its February date. Trying- tdVBalt Brltt Al Herford, manaker of Joe Gans, lias advanced a novel proposition to bait Jimmy Brltt of San Francisco into meet ing the lightweight champion. Herford has taken the step ln view of the fact that Brltt has come out repeatedly with the assertion that he would sever meet a negro. Herford offers to sign articles calling for Oans to meet Brltt and "stop" the white boy inside of 20 rounds. As further incentive Herfrd says that Oans will give Brltt 20 seconds in which to, recover in the event of being knocked dawn. Should this meet with Brltt's approval, which Is not at all likely, Herfofd will be ready to post a forfeit and sign articles at once. e i, Bookmakers. Wttt Hannv. .. rr (Journal Special Service.)

He now wants one more crack at the cham pionship. Either Joe Oans or Jimmy Brltt both of whom decisively beat him would suit Erne. Whether it would suit the other men Is another matter.
