his death. This picture shows an Improvised ring on the cruiser West Virginia, with a battle In progress.
It was In such a contest aboard the Cumberland that H. A. Haetnett received Injuries that resulted In his

Both boys were tirVd when the gong

Although no decision was given It was
clearly ssen that McFarland had much

McKnrland shows a disposition to
iglve the fans a run for their money
and has reiterated that he will take no
chances with any of the second and

years old, five feet seven Inches tall

Burch is the first man ever elected

How hard put to It England is for

fact that Joo Rogers, the wrestler, who
Is to meet Hackenschmldt for the cham

As a matter of fact Rorerit was horn
In England, but he went hark tn th
oia country as an American wrpsllor
and Bave for the accident of birth he
is an American. As an American I am
rather glad Roarers Is t n wrpMtla an tin
isngnsnman, for Hackenschmldt in all
probability will do with him an h vin
wnen tney meet on the mat.
Speaking of the match, the London
Sporting Life said recentlv: "W can
look forward to one of the most In
teresting struggles on the mat that Eng
ianu nas wunessea ror many years. And
what will be of more vital lntprf-st tn
England and Englishmen is that for
tne first time for years a real English
horn wrestler, fit and competent, will
strive to win back far the home land
tne laurels which should never have left
meso snores.

FRENCH JOCKEY CLUB
LENIENT WITH "BABIES"
To a certain extent the French Jockey
club has taken down the bars with re
Sard to the early running of 2-year-olds
by a recent ruling which permits young
sters cf selling plate class to compete
In races after the first Monday in June.
Heretofore the baby racers of that
country have been idle until the Inst
day of July, and the change Is one that
meets with general approval, for the
reason that It Is hedged with a restric
tion that Insures the savins of the bet
ter juveniles.
The latest ruling of the French turf
authorities is that 2-year-olds may race
after the first Monday in June, but only
in selling ruces. Other events for iu-
veniles will not be permitted before the
last day of July. As French owners
take few chances with what they con
sider first class horses in selling races
it Is believed that onlv srenulne selllne
platers will take pari in these early
events.

Boat clubs throughout the country are
beginning to hope that Andrew Carnegie
will switch from library endowments to
rowing endowments.
Not only has Mr. Carnegie given Car
negle lake to Princeton and given that
university to understand that he will
encourage rowing there with cash, but
he has made a gift of $1,000 to the
Laureate Boat club of Troy to reno
vaie us ciuonouse and to purchase a
new stock of boats.
The gift Is tendered on condition
that the rowing organisation Is to raise
4,ooo ror a IlRe purpose within six
months. The club has accepted the Car
negie offer and ft committee has been
appointed to take charge of the work.
John M. Francis of the executive com
mittee of -the National Association of
Amateur Oarsmen, is an officer of the
Laureate club, and it was through his
efforts that Mr. Carnegie decided to
make the gift.
There are scores of worthy and strug
gling boat clubs throughout the coun
try who could put a thousand or so dol
lars to fine use. and If Mr. 'Carnegie
really Intends to encourage the noble
sport of rowing, he will have no diffi
culty in placing a very considerable
portion of his Income.
Portland would like nothing better
than to sea the nhllanthrnnlst nut a
few hundred of his shekels Into local
rowing circles. Incidentally it might
be brought to his attention that thn
