B tulaed 1 'toad by the Sow London Course,
I The attitude of His Police Hoard toward local
boxing clubs Is nwaliod with Inlcrost by tho
porting public. Tho fact that each club tie
(Irons of plvlnir shows In tho futuro must eo
curs a now Uremia from tho board puts nil of tho
local promoters on tho sumo basis. William
Xewmnn, matineer of tho Polo A. C, which
was prevented from holding tho Kolly
Rotchford bout on Wodnesilay nlRht becauso
s Ilconso socurod from formor Mayor Strong
on Dec. -8 was declared void uiidor tho now
charter, mado formal application yostordny to
tho hoard for n now license. Tho Commission
ers, after consldorlns llio limttor In executive
session, referred It to Chief AtcCullagh. Tho
latter ouUI make no nnnouncomont ns to what
poller ho would adopt, Tho Chief, howovcr,
notified tho Grcenpoiiil Sporting Club yesterday
thst Its Hccnso, llkothatof tho Polo A. C., was
not legal, and it would havo to ask
for a new one. As tho club has a
few bouts scheduled for noxt Monday
night, tho ofllcials will apply to tho board to
day for a permit. If tho board nnd Chief Mc
CullaRh decide to Ilconso theso clubs It Is almost
certain that thcro will bo othor applications
from individuals who havo been waiting to find
out which way tho wind blows. Many sporting
men who claim to know say Uiat If any
licenses nro Issued they will bo limited
In number and tho clubs that receive thorn will
bo under strict pollco surveillance Tho Pollco
Commissioners aro non-committal on tho sub
ject of boxing, nnd so is Chief McCullagh, but
when tho latter was an Inspector ho never In
terfered with glove bouts until t hoy reached n
point n hero brutality was apparent. Followers
of tho ring say they hopo that clubs, well organ
ized and managed by competent flstlo oxperts.
Will be permitted to exist.
It Is qulto probable that It Kelly and Rotch
ford had boon ablo to fight on Wednesday night
the arena of tho Polo A. C. would havo been
packed, despite tho exorbitant prices for tickets.
The managers CBtlmatod that thoy would have
bad a $0,000 bouso if their license hod not been
knocked in the head by tho police, Tho bout
bad been arranged for twenty rounds at 110
pounds, and was carded as a championship
rent at featherweights. Granting that both
Kelly nnd Kotcbford are cracking good
boys at their weight, howovor, their "go" could
not have been for tho championship, as the win
ner of the battle would not havo boon regarded
by tho sports as superior to llttlo Davo Hulllruu
of Boston, who recontly fought "Pedlar"
Palmer in England. Sullivan's two victories
over Patsy Haley last winter at tho Polo A. C.
stamped him as tbo best lad of his weight In
this country, and If be could be matched to
morrow against either Kelly or Kotchford ho
would be a tavorito in tho betting. Sulli
van is a fighter of the Lavigne type. Ho bores
In all tho time In order to land n, heavy swing
that can bring a knockout. Though not n
showy boxer, be is a hard punisher, and, for
his weight and build, he is a phenomenal hitter.
If Kelly and Kotchford could decido the ques
tion, a battlo between tho winner and
Dave Sullivan would bo a real cham
pionship event at that weight. But,
until Qeorge Dixon Is knocked out at from 118
to 120 pounds ho will have undisputed claim on
the title of featherweight champion of tho
world. A flstlo championship cannot be lost in
the ring, according to all precedents, unless an
aspirant Is knocked out, his seconds throw up
tho sponge, or he commits a foul.

round, ana S2.000 If tie defeats you. That's It. Bob,
you know In your heart that you can whip him and
yet yon hesitate. I've always read books about

forCorbott thoy put In tho paper Klu'a deadly rftrht
thst hu put auo men to sleep. I rubbed it out and

It is generally believed that Tom Burns of
Springfield, Mass., will manago the Chicagos
the coming season. Burns recently called upon
John C. Chapman at Alertacn and asked him If
he would accept the management of tho Spring
fields. Burns did not say that he was going to
Chicago, but admitted that he would not bs nt
his old stand this year, which Is taken to mean
that ho has accopted an offer from James A.
Hurt, Presldont of the Chicago club. Tho lat
ter has made the statement that he could not
secure a better man than Burns, and that
the latter would probably bo engaged in the
etent of Anson's release The probable engage
ment of Anson as manager of the St. Louis club
will doubtless pavo the way for Burns. The
latter Is one of the best posted baseball men in
tho country, and when he was playing third
base for Chicago in the days of Williamson.
Cueit, Dalrymple, Kelly, Flint, and Corcoran he
was Anson's helpmate in handling tho toam.
I A baseball crank, who has a fondness for keep

was talked of all over tbo country. On Sept. 20.
iHSl, In a game between the Detroits and an
other League team, Charley Bennott made a
record that has seldom been equalled by any
catcher In tho big League. He was receiving for

went out on strikes, and tho other three wcro

Flndlay S. Douglas of tho Fairfield County
Oolf Club Issues through Tin: Hux a statement
of his experiences nt Wh,oalon. It Is In ac
cordance with his position ns outllnod yester
day. The occurrence reflect in noway upon
any nmatour golfer In tho United States, and it
would not hnvo been mado publlo oxcopt for tho
lntervlows given out by C. V. MacDonnld nt
Chicago. Douglas says that ho hnd decided
from tho first to suffer tho affront without seek
ing any satisfaction. Tho statemont reads:
To tub KniTort ov Tim HvnStr: To my
groat rcgrot and entirely without my knowl
edge, certain statements rognrdlng the tamper
ing with my clubs, wlillo contesting for tho
amatour championship of tho United Statoa at
Wlioaton, havo recently boon circulated to such
an extent as to mako It Imperative that some
notlco bo taken of them. Let It bo distinctly
understood thnt nt no tlmo hnvo I mado nny
etiargo whatover against tho member of
any club or nny other persons. Sly bag
of clubs was left in n locker In
tho clubhouso of tho Chicago (lolf Club.
Whon tho momont arrived for plavlng off
tho somi-llnnls with Mr. Whlgham t notlcod
that tho grips wcro not as thoy had been
tho dny boforo. At tho socond tco I called the
Attention of Mr. Wlilsbam nnd tho umpire, Mr.
Jakes, to tholr condition. Further than this 1
did nothing, feeling that If after n defeat I pub
lished Iho facts thore might be somo unfair nnd
discourteous remarks Indulged In. such ns O. B.

tbo medium of tho dally journals.
I hnvo mndo no npocifla roply to his lottor ad

private Individual. ,
I dcslro to sny further that Mr. Whlgham'
playod n magnificent gamo that day. and oven
had my clubs been In proper condition the re
sult would hnvo been a victory for hlra just tho

FlNDLAV S. DOUaiAS.
Nkw Yonic, Jan. 0, 1808.
Chicago, Jon. C Golf Champion II. J. Whlg
ham Indignantly deulcs that there was any
ground for Findlny 8. Douglas's alleged impu
tation thntthero was any undcrhandod work In
tho match between him and Whlgham at
Wlioaton last Soptombor. Whlgham believes
it Impossible that anybody could havo tampered
With Douglas's clubs.
"But." said Hhlghnm, "oven grantod thnt
there had been any attempt to intorfero with
Mr. Douglas, no ono who plays golf can possibly
imaglno that object in vlow could bo attained
In tho way originally claimed. If Mr. Doug
las had stopped nt tho first hnlo and oxamlnod
his clubs ami had found thorn in nn unfit state;
if bo had clone anything to put them to rights;
or if ho had entorcd nny protest on tho spot,
there might possibly have boon grounds for sus
picion. He did not Jo any of these things, and
at no tlmo during tho tournament did he make
any complaint; nor can I bellavo that ho is In
any way responsible for the propostorons story."
Tho Inercass In tho Board of Governors from
nine to Dfteon has had a stimulating effect on
tho futuro policy of tho St Andrew's Golf Club.
At tho rcgulnr meeting yesterday a policy of
energy wns decided on. As soon as tho weather
permits tho completion of tbo now clubhouso
will bo proceeded with, nnd when finished it will
bo a model homo for golfers. The original plans
will bo carrlod out. with only a few changes,
tho principal ono bolng tho enlargement of
tho now dining room, the capacity of
which will bo doubled. In order to olaco
tbo club on a sound llnnncial basis it
was recently deemed axpodlent lo lovy a
small assessment, applicable only to tho present
members. Tho result was so satisfactory that
tho club has been ablo to placo all the bonds It
desired, has ample funds to pay oft tho entire
lloatingdobt, complete and furnish tho now club
houso and improva the links and the means of
reaching it. As a result of tho assessment somo
resignations wcro rcceivod, but tbo number was
not as large as had been anticipated. From
what somo of tho prominent members say It Is
probable that tho limit of membership will be
reducod from 400 to 300 in order to maintain
SU Andrew's as an exclusively golfing or
ganization. '
In a letter to a friend In this city, in which he
sends a happy New Year to all tho golfers be
met at tho open tournaments last summer, W.
GIrdwood Stewart, the Scotch amateur, writes:
Blnco my return I havo played four or (Ira times.
To me It Is a great pleasure to play onco more on tbo

before striking tho ground. At another hole. 400
yards long, with tbo awlstaneo of a following wind,
tho same girl reached the green In three, her third
shot being only a quarter Iron. Then- caddie volun
teered tho Information that the two girls allow half
a stroke to their father in inatehes. I hare beard

SARATOGA S'OT iATlSfZEb.
?.
Racing Association Does JTot Uks the Bateoi
Allollesi by Iho Jockey Club.
Considerable speculation Is being Indulged In
among turf followers ns to the future of the
Saratoga rnco course and Its meetings this year.
According to tho dates assigned to the various as
sociations Saratogn will be forced to race
against Aqueduct, Brighton Beach, and 8hccps
head Bay, ns the schedule calls for only Ave
cloar days for tho Spa, Should tho latter man
agement dccldo to raco, the meeting would
probablv wind un on Antr. an. nr nno waaI?
beforotbe tlmo nllotted to them by tho Jookey
Club, This move would bo mndobocnuso of tho
opening of tho fall meeting at Shoepshoad Bav,
which will begin on Aug, 23 nnd continue until
Bopt. 10. It will thus bo seen that Saratoga
would conflict with Sheopshead Bay for a week
If Its innotlng'continued until Aug. 27, which is
tho dnlo given to It by tho Jockey Club. Ac
cording to tbo programme, Brighton Beach will
havo nineteen clear ilnvs. A promlnost mombor
of tho Uaratogn Association said yostorday that
he thought if the club received ton cloor davs it
would bo entirely satisfactory, but otherwise ho
did not predict a brilliant meeting for tho Spa.
At tho rooms of tho association, 1402 Broad
way, nothing dofinlto could be loomed. G.
albautn, tho principal stockholder, Is on his
way to California. Tbo dales .allotted have
been telegrnphed to him. President Konrnoy
will leave for n trip through tho South to-dar.
It is known thnt ho Is groatly dlsnppolntod with
tho dales, but bo declined to discuss matters.
Two years ngo tho association, feeling piqued nt
what wns claimed poor treatment aocnrdod to it
by tho Jockey Club In tbo matter of dates, de
cided not to race. It Is possible that n repetition
of tho movo may occur this year. Iast season
tho association mado a llttlo money owing to
tho fact that It had one week f rco from conflict
with any local track.

An Aggressive Policy la Be Adapted bv the
I A. Vf. President's Nopporlers-JImmr
Michael nay Slav Here to Recuperate A
Scheme to Insure fllcjcles Against Accidents
President Potter and Secretary-Treasurer Bull
wont over to Philadelphia yesterday to consult
with tho officials of tho Pennsylvania division re
garding tho coming U A, V. eloctlon. The man
agers of tho Potter campaign aro considerably
worried over the reportod disposition of George
D. Gideon of Philadelphia to bo a candidate for
the Proeldoncy. Tho Kow Yorkers met Samuel
Boyln nnd P. S. Collins nnd tho wholo situation
wns discussed. It is expected that the Potter
management will now ndopt nn aggressive pol
icy to ascertain tho full strength of all divisions.
Plodgos of votes to Potter aro bolng mado on
condition that Gideon Is not a candidate.
An elahornto schetuoof blayclo accident In
surance has been formulated and Ib about to ho
launched hero. Last summer n company ot
English capitalists visited this country to Inves
tigate tho possibilities of organizing n com
pany to Insure bicycles against damage
caused by accident or duo to breakdown
occurring after tho expiration of tho guar
antee, when tho manufacturer could not
bo held liable For moro than a yenr
nn English corporation, capitalized at a million
dollars, has been operating on this plan, and tho
idoa has become popular with riders on tho
other sido. The lnvosllgators.whilo hero had a
notion thnt a national charter might bo ob
tained nnd tho entire country controlled. After
interviewing several lawyers and taking coun
sel of a number of manufacturers thoy returned
to Englnnd without doing anything. Tho idea
has been taken up by a fow lawyers, politi
cians, nnd blcyclo dealers, who have organ
ized a corporation to insure both bicycles
and carriages for a nominal monthly fee,
nnd to mako freo repairs In event of accident.
Tho method will bo to issue a book of coupon
tickets nt $1 each which will entltlo tho holder
to get such repairs as may bo needed, not in ex
cess of 85, at any repair shop, for ono month
oniy. soguara against mo transrerot tickets
each book will havo tho mako, number, gear,
and a comploto description of tbo whoel which
It Insures. Should tho damage to any whool
require moro than $5 worth of work, tho
holder of the book can hand in all its coupons
for $3 and pay tho difference In cash. The idea
Is a comparatively now ono in England, but over
hero It Is entirely untquo. The company calcu
lates to havo Its customers Insuro for about eight
months In the year, nnd Its antlclpatod profit Is
based on tbo calculation that, on tho aver
age, no individual whool requires $8 worth
of work In a yoar. In overy city a
numbor of repair shops will bo designated
to do the work of tno company, so that
subscribers can always and one handy whllo on
tho road. The repair man will tear coupons
from the book of tho rider to the amount of tho
work done and the company will redeem
them. It Is proposed to havo a black list of
riders and doalors who are guilty of any sharp
practices In connection with the insurances as
well as a list of riders who are so rongh with
wheels as to be dangerous risks.
Mocbanlcal experts abroad have been working
for some time to construct a good durablo fold
ing bicycle. It Is felt that the construction of
such a inacblno will enablo riders to carry tbelr
whcols with llttlo trouble on the railroads. The
London J-YrM reviews the situation as follows:
Among objects aimed at by the inventors and de
signers of new bicycles, or of contrivances entering
Into their composition. Is tho means of making the
machine portable. This Is effected In ono of two
wsys, eltner In putting Joints or hinges la tho
frame, so that ono wheel may be folded back
against tho other, or In making the struc
ture detacbablo at various points, so that
It may bo taken to pleees, moro or less, and packed
fortranslt. So far as this object Is concerned, wo do
not anticipate any success for such Inventions, which
are likely to be adopted In exceptional cases only.
No ordinary rider would bo well advised to purchase
a bicycle which cost and weighed more, and was
more likely to break down owing to a com
plication of Its parts, merely for tbo doubtful
advantage of being able to coroprcrs It Into a'smaller
compass when travelling with It. It mlxbt be other
wise were a machine so packed to b carried free,
but It would bo liable to the same railway rates as
tho unpacked blccle, and the only party bensllted
would bo the railway company. It has al
ways been characterise of many Inventors, how
ever, to labor In the most unprofitable fields.
A folding bicycle has attained soma success
In France, but only for Its special application to
mllltarv requirements, being designed to strap on tbo
back of a soldier when ho is traversing country un.
suited to Its use. There Is some utility In the folding
or collapsible principle when spaee Is an object and
blcyclea had to be kept In tho house. Attention has
been glreu to tho production of frames In
which the tubes are detachable, being bolted
together ur Jolued In such a manner as to
dispense with the usual process of bracing. In
some of these designs a feature has been made of the
facility with which the frame can bo taken to plencs
and the machine packed In a case for travelling.
Ki en wero there a distinct irnln In dlsconnectlnirlht.
tubes, a looseness would Ineiltahly bo set up In tho
Joints whn ihe operation had been many times re
peated, uud this would destroy the rigidity of the
machine and alTect its running.
Tho woll-known two-mllo Austral race, which Is
held annually ut Melbourne,, took placo on Dec.
11. This Is ono of tho largest ouen competition
races held In tho world. The first prizo Is $1,000,

The lion. Itopert Colone.s, Ubo Won thn
Diamond Sculls Twice, Arrlvra on lite Teutonic.
Tho Hon. Rupert Guinness, ono of tho most
noted amateur oarsmen in tho world, is in town
on his way to llcrmuda. He arrived from Eng
land yesterday on tho Whllo Star liner Teu
tonic, nnd put up at the Wtildorf-Astoria, Ho
Is tho eldest son of Baron Ivcagh of Ireland and
nephew of Lord Ardilnnn.
Tho young onrsmnn first came into national
promlncnco at his favorite pastimo in 1H1I3,
when he created a sensation by winning the
Diamond Hculls at Henley after a great rnco
with Guy Nickalls. Tho pair again met in tho
subsequent raco for tho Wingflcld Hculls over
the full Thames championship course at l'ut
noy. It was a trial boat, and they had a icrriilo
set-to, but tho newcomer again asserted his su
periority. Meanwhile the other Xlckalls,
Vivian, hnd qualiflod in an easy hent, nnd hu
defeated Guinness in tho final, tho Irishuiun's
arm giving out under tho strain.
GuinncsH was tho sculling star of Henley in
180U, and ho won tho 'Diamonds" for tho
second time, the beaten division on this occasion
including his younger brothor. Edward, Dr. Mo
Dowell of ChicHgo. nnd Bush Thompson of
Canada. He did defend bis title last year, whon
E. II. Ten Eyck won, nnd whether ho would
bavo fared any better thnn tbo others left be
hind by tho wonderful Worcester boy must
now remain an open iiucstinn, as Guinness says
ho will never row ngain. When seen jestcrday
tho ox-chniupiun. who, by tho way, looks tho
perfection of hoalth nnd physical culture, staled
that his early retirement from competitive row
ing is due to Alight direction of the hoirt.
His trip to Bermuda Is purely ono of pleasure.
Ho propones lo spend thu winter cruising in tho
West lndic3 as guest of ono of tho Hillisli Hear
Admirals. I
In tho natural order of events young Guin
ness will succeed to properly vulurd nt millions
of pounds sterling, his father being licud of tbo
big Dublin Brewing Company, which practically
supulios the world with stout. Ho was horn on
March t!l), 1871. and was educated at Cam
hridgo University.
A .Yew Idea In 8nll Measurement.
Tiio now racing schooner being built at tho
yards of Henderson & Sons on tho Clyde, fur
C, L. Orr-Kwing, M. I',, nnd the recent purchnso
of tho American schooner yacht Yampa by a
Itear Admiral of tho German Navy, aro causes
for the following unlquonrticlo in Iho YiicMh
man, which, although an entirely now wny of
looking at tho measurement rules now in voguo
as applied to tho spinnnkcr. Is not without merit.
It should be considered carefully by every ono
interested In schooner racing, ns well ns Ilia ex
perts who rack their brains in order to doviso
equitable measurement rules for tho vnrlous
classes in tills country:
The advent of a now racing st hooner, marking, as
we hope It docs, a revival of schooner racing, calls at
tention to a grievance under whlih this rig suffors.
The splmiaker is ineuMtlred as if set on the foremast,
and no allowance Is mado fortho lost area of tho fore,
salt and fore gaff-topsall, svlo u the s.ill Is hung up ou
thu main. This Is u i cry serious matter for tho Door
schooner, for next to n gain ou thu wind, vxtra sail
down utnd Is most Important, for us evry one knows
a tesselcan reach much faster than she can run lu a
moderate breeo.
Thero is no reason either ror the curious freak in
ssll metuurement. unless, as wo Itcllove. It Is that iu
body over thought or the matter ivhen thu sutl meas
urement was designed. It Is not so easy to remedy
either, lor It Is eonceli oblo that the foresail and Irl
atio staysail might at times do good work while ftio
spinnaker Is set. This, lumoicr, might bo met by
giving to the ounertlio choice of musts on which to
set bis rumilng sail, nnd if ho elect the mainmast,
the spinnaker should be or au area equal to all the
fore aud art sails forward or that mast. Ifheahould
ch ooeo the roremast It might be measured uslt is at
present. The mainmast has decided disadvantages
for set ting thlssnll, but if the abotosugguslluuswt-ro
carried out most masters would probably bo willing
to put up with them.
