Down with the tng.of-wart This Is tho slogan
of tho most Intelligent athlctlo tralnors. They
say that in addition to straining ovcry part of
tho body tho tug-of-war actually deforms men
who engage In It often. Thoy dedaro that ath
letlc clubs should piohlblt members from par
ticipating In them, and that any Infringement
of tho rules should bo summarily dealt with.
Frof. John Laflin sayst " Tho tug-of-war does
more to Injuro men than any other form of so
called exercise except heavy lifting. Both tho
tug-of-war and tho lifting of heavy weights
should bo prohibited In all gymnasiums. I havo
known a largo number of men to ruin them
selves for llfo by pulling on tug.of-war teams. "
Walter Campbell says: "It is high tlmo tho
athletic clubs took up this Question of tho tug.

1'oor Hairy 1
Why Is tho neighborhood of New Orleans se
lected as a battle-ground for the coming great
flitlc duel between Kllraln and Bullivant, The
cllmato down there certainly Is not comlucho to
hard training at that season. The great "pugs"
will train hear tha soeno of battle. They will
both have ample time to get s fever before the
date of the tight. Tho climato of California U
highly invigorating at all times of the year, and
the California Athletic Club would doubtless
add a curio of 15,000 or tttl, 000 as an induce
ment to tho fighters to settle their little mill out
their way. Thero would also bo less likelihood
of pollco interference In California.
Tote McCoy Is lust being overwhelmed by hla
friends. In addition to his coming benefit in
Hoboken, he will havo a benefit at Bridgeport,
Conn., on April 10.
t
And by tho way. If Jimmy Carroll cannot
mako a match with Reagan, he probably need
not go begging for a tight. Eithor McCoy or
La Blanche, the Marine, would llko a "go"
with him, Queensberry rules.
Carroll will have difficulty In getting anybody
to moot him according to priso-rimr rules, for
Jimmy can throw nearly anybody of his weight.
Ho is a great ono at collar-and-elbow.
Thero are several pngtllsts around tho country
who aio waiting anxiously for tho tangle over
the middle-weight championship to bo really
definitely settled. When it Is tho champion may
expect a batch of challenges.
Dcmpsoy, despito all other claims, Is, of
courrc, the champion. Hut Johnny Roagan
nays it Isn't tho championship ho is attcr so
much as It Is a chanco to have another go at
Jack.
Dempscy told tho writer last night that he
would jump at a chanco to light Reagan under
tho auspices of the California Athletic Club for
a purso or l.'l.OOO in addition to the 81,000
stake. Raid Jackt " There is nothing I would
llko better. My opinion of Johnny Reagan is
that he is the best man of his weight there is.
Jiosidre being iclecr tighter, hois tho gamest
and pluckiest man I over fought. "
James Birmingham, who is to fight ' ' Monto "
Lewis within two weeks, won the feather-weight
contest at the Voruna Boat Club's preliminary
ath etic meeting last Winter. Bnt whon tho
final bouts occurred he ovorweighed ono pound
and wan barred.

In a cablo despatch received by Richard K.
Fox, George Atkinson says that), tho light be
tween Mitchell and Bmltli will take place In a
few days, and will probably bo private. Owing
to Mitchell's hand being eoro Hmith is a favorite
in the betting. There Is likely to be a hitch
over the referee, Mitchell being in favor of
Angle, who rofercod theSuUlvan-Mltchell light.
Billy Read. Reagan's backer, writes to tho
J'olice Gazette to say that, in icply to Dempfoy's
challenge to Reagan or Carroll. Reagan will not
accept any challenges until no meets young
Mitchell. Demnsey navlng failed to cover the
$-50 forfeit loft with the Potter (laxetu the
money was withdrawn at the expiration of the
allotted time and the California Club's offer ac
cepted. Dompsey.no says, will now have to
make a match with Carroll, who has posted
a.60 as forfeit.

of a political rof ugoo upon whom they have both
bestowed tholr affections. Miss "Helon Barry
