MAY SPRING
STRONG
NEW YORK. December 30.-11 is the
general opinion in athletic circles that
the Amateur Athletic Union authorities
l'a\e a little more on the six athletes
they suspended Monday night than was
given out for publication, Porter. Ronhug.
Rriiars, l.ce. Sheppard and Baron were
suspended for adopting exorbitant expense
money from a Buffalo organization.
and this exorbitant amount was
placed at J3o.
The men went from Philadelphia to Buffalo
on the occasion of this particular
meet and then returned to New York. It
would take a pretty close-fisted man to
make that trip like a civilized being for
less than *tr.. Athletes are notoriously
good liters, and if $3.*> is all they recclved
for this trip they must have been
considerably out of pocket at the end of
the junket. Athletes are not cranks try-I
m g iv rciurm me j?cupm. 1 nev are invariably
common-sense young fellows out
for a little excitement and a good time.
They are in sport for the fun of the|
thing, and there could lie no fun if they
had to keep account of their pennies to
get through.
Bonhag was more sensible than the oth-j
er a. He asked for ?V?, and that Is about |
i lie j'roper allowance for a trip from'
New York to Buffalo and back* Old-timej
athletes argued in this way yesterday,
and the argument led them to the-conclusion
that the A. A. U. lias up its sleeve'
a stronger case against these men than j
the one given out.
1* is whispered about that some of these'
men have asked for and secured expense |
money to appear in meets held in this
city, and that out-of-town association*j
have had to pay well above a reasonable
expense allowance for their services. It
is said that .this has been particularly
iriie since the tremendous advertising certain
athletes have secured since they became
Olympic heroes.
Work for Their Pockets Now.
living athletes libera! expense money
has always been sanctioned by the A. A.
I*. The athletes of ten years ago not
only demanded liberal expense money, but:
had also to be assured of some sort of
hospitality. The latter-day champion, however,
according to the whispers that fill j
the air. not only wants liberal expenses j
and a good time, but something that;
would make his poeketbook locdi more re- i
spectable.
The A. A. TT. is now ready to make a
determined tight against this semi-professionalism.
James E. Sullivan, the president
of the A. A. T".. said yesterday the
laws of the union would be upheld if
every champion was driven from the fold.
"Let them be professionals if they want
to. There Is nothing wrong in that," said
Mr. Sullivan, "but we won't let tliern
masquerade as amateurs if we tan help
it."
George Bonhag was seen yesterday. lie
seemed to take his suspension as a joke,
lie said the Buffalo association had merely
failed to ask permission of the A- A. U.
before giving him a prize. It is said
the association did ask permission, and
that it was refused, and also that Bonhag
knew of this refusal. Bonhag lias returned
the prize to the Buffalo association.
Both Bheppard and Porter were to
have competed in Pittsburg last night,
but the Smokytown club was notified that
their suspension was in force and that
every man who ran against them would
sufTer suspension. They did not compete.
Signs of a Big Fight.
The New York A. C. is very hot over j
the suspension of Eellars. Capt. Ma honey |
of the Mercury Foot Club, said yesterday
that he would see that Dollars got a fair
deal. The Irish-American A. C. officials
were equally warm tinder the collar over
the disciplining of Porter, Bonhag, Shopnard
and Rnrv?n Thp lf?ca e\f tlila nltantot
would greatly weaken the Irish club's
team, and if the charges against the men
are not substantiated the A. A. I*. officials
arc in for a warm winter. In fact, one
of the liveliest scraps the A. A. I*, has
ever had seems imminent.
. A rather fair criticism against the registration
committee is that it suspended
the men before giving them a trial. The
A. A. I". lawn certainly need revision in
tills respect. There was a secret meeting
of the A. A. U. officials yesterday to discuss
the situation. All the officials remained
mum as to what happened at the
meeting. 9
CAN. JOHNSON TRIM
EX-CHAMPION JEFFRIES?
NEW YORK. December kO.?Gould Jack
Johnson beat Jeff if the latter got back in
shape?
That is a question that is argued over
and over again these days in New York.
There are many who think that Jeff
would have beaten the dark fellow with
ease, while there are just as many others
who declare that the boilermaker would
have broken his back trying to land on '
him.
One thing most all agree upon, and that';
is that Johnson would not knock the big i
fellow out. no matter how easily he might ]
have outpointed him.
Jeff fought the heaviest in his time with- ;
cut being groggy ?>nee. lie met Sharkey, i
Kitz. i'orbett, Choyinski. and not one of
them ever had the big fellow in distress,
that is. as far as the helpless condition
goes. He was outboxed and cut up at
times, but he never reeled to the ropes
once in his long career.
Billy Madden says that Johnson could
lick Jeffries and come out of the battle
unmarked.
"I picked this black fellow five years
ago.'' said Billy last night, while talking
over the go.
"1 had Denver Ed Martin out in California
five years ago." continued Billy,
" and thought he was a world-beater. This
fellow Johnson met Ed and defeated him
easily In twenty rounds. When they met
again he knocked Martin cold in two
rounds. T saw then that .he was the fastest
big man in the world, and told Gus
Ruhlln so when I came bark. 'Gus,' I
satd. 'you'll never be champion of the
tv/it-Irf There's n colored fellow out in
California who can lick you and Jeffries
md the whole bunch of heavies, and you
won't lay a glove on him.' Ruhlln laughed,
but he never was a onampion. Why. Martin
was a baby in his hands the night of
the tight. Johnson was so fast that Ihl
looked as though he was nailed to the
floo?\
"Yes. sir; I think that this fellow could
lick Jeff at any time. If Jeff didn't think
so he'd get out and figlit himself. Why
did he ever draw the color line? lie
fought Feter Jaekson, Armstrong nnd
Iriffin. but hs for Johnson? no--I guess
the big fellow knows a thing or two."

Bristol!, the English featherweight chain- j
pion. was given the decision over Matty |
Baldw in in their twelve-round bout a' j
the Armory A. A. last night. In every
point of the art Driscoll showed his su- j
perlority over Baldwin, and only once 1
during the contest did Matty have a I
"look-In." Tlirft was in the second round,
when Driscoll got a bit careless, and
while the right 011 the jaw that Matty
landed dazed Driscoll the latter showed
wonderful cleverness in preventing Matty
from landing any more effective punches
by blocking and shiftiness. In loss than
half a minute Driscoll was all right again,

auu it uin inai * uuv- iv imv v?
contest there was never any doubt as to
Driscoll being the winner.
Driscoll the Aggressor.
Driscoll, though having a harder opponent
last night that he did when he boxed
Griffin, gave a better exhibition. While
his footwork, feinting, dodging and blocking
were grand, he also showed that he
was at home when it came to mixing, lie
was as cool as an ieeberg at all times, and
was always ready to meet any kind of an '
attack that Baldwin made. Driscoll was !
the aggressor through most of the con- j
test, and his feinting puzzled Baldwin so j
badly at limes that the latter swung j
wild and often his blows fell short.
Jem Always Beady.
Driscoll was generally ready to step in I
with a right or left counter when he got '
Matty working that way, and the blows
were either landed on the wind, face or
jaw. While at no time during the bout
did it look as if Matty would be put!
away, yet in several of the rounds Drts- I
coil made Baldwin a bit unsteady- with j
either right counters or left hooks to the
jaw.
Driscoll was in far better condition than
his opponent. There was little differ- |
ence in their weight, though both weighed '
in under 11*8 pounds at 0 o'clock in the |
evening.
In the opening round there was but little ;
done, as both spent most of the time trying
to draw the other out. Driscoll did,
however, stab Matty several times on tiie
mouth and nose and drove the left to the
wind. A couple of light left counters on
the face was the extent of Baldwin's delivery.
When Driscoll left his corner in the 1
second round lie appeared to be satisfied
that he had Baldwin's measure.
After feinting Matty into a lead he
drove the left to the wind. An instant
l8ter lie repeated the same blow. Matty
managed to land some lefts on the lace
and rights on the body during the round,
but Driscoll outscored him by a big mar-;
gin with rights and lefts on the face and ;
body. Near the close of the round Dris- j
coif staggered Matty with a light to the j
head and a left hook on the jaw. Dris
coll went right after Matty in the next
round and started by driving the left into
the wind.

Mass.. who were to have fought at I
Rochester, N. Y.. .December 17. but the

are anxious to get together, and Matchmaker
Jimmy Dime has decided to put
them on.
With the hope of getting Stanley Ketehel,
the middleweight champion, to
change his mind about drawing the color
line and fighting him, Sam Langford. the
colored fighter, of Boston has guaranteed
to stop Ketchel in ten rounds, and, furthermore.
allow Ketchel to name his own
terms for the bout. If the men should
meet the rhanees are that Langford would
be the favorite in the betting, as the
Frisco sports think he Is a wonder.
Herman Moss, matchmaker of the
Southern A. C.. of New Orleans, ha? wired
Freddie Welsh, the English lightweight,
an offer of ?1.CK>>, with the privilege of
accepting 25 per cent of the gross receipts.

was added to the list of prospeetiv*
Brooklyn managers this morning in s
rumor that is founded on Sebring's poss!
bio reinstatement by the national com
mission next week.
Sebring's case is expected lo be set
tied January -f. and it is believed that In

bis title will not bo clear, as the Chi
cago club i laims to have a. firing or
the outfielder. However. Sebring was on*
of rite players doomed to remain forevei
in the Tri-Ststc League, and title to bin
was vested in that organization. So al
that he will cost tire Brooklyn club wil
be a nominal fine and the price of his re
lease from the Ti '-State League.
Kven if ttie Brooklyn club fails to lanr

would got the Job. lie managed the Wil

There is scarcely any doubt that Sebrinj

'ast year's Yale crew, Griswold. whose [ j
home was in Erie, Pa., was in a hospital vaj
at the time of his death, where lie was
taken some time ago. suffering from typhoid
fever. Coi
Griswold was never well after the rare agi
with Harvard. He was the most popular Er<
man in Yale and. according to John Ken
nedy, the veteran coach, was the be3t y
stroke Yale ever bad. P.nt he was a man Pci
who had his off days, and it was knowing
this that he was given the most important
position in the boat. There had been
no one like him in years and the crew ,or
had again and again broken the speed nQ<
record on New Haven harbor. The day of'
the race he started off finely and the crew j
was rowing in the best manner until Capt. ; Br?
Ide's shoestring snapped. This was the | <\)r
end. I
Roth crews went back and started over < again,
but Griswold was a nervous wreck.
Before the mile mark was reached he collapsed
and was taken from the boar.
After the race was over he was taken to vthe
Thousand Islands, where it was hoped
he wou'd recover his health, buj. he eon- *
tinned to worry over the ra?-e until he tra
became very ill and it was decided to take ,0
him west for his health, lie continued to
become worse, however, and his illness ; 1,1
was complicated with typhoid fever. His Ne
i death resulted yesterday. ! erf
His death, with that of Harry Iloleomb, ) Rn
the old Yale oarsman, wno u:ea jasi year
from the results of a rare, have given '
rise to a vail for shortening the grueling sei
four-mile course. Grtswold's brother col- pa

BALTIMORE, December 30.?Thirty-five
ion and boys, mostly residents of Elliott
City, were seriously injured yesteray
afternoon hv the collapse of the
econd floor in Easton's Tlall. on Church
treet. in that place. When the floor
ave way over K?0 persons were percipiited
to the lower floor, but most of these
re re unhurt. The accident occurred
,-hi!e William Hat wood, colored, was heig
arraigned before Justice B. H. Wallenorst
on the charge of assaulting Charles
:. Hill*
The work of rescue was carried on by
filing hands, and some of tlie injured
ere brought to the city for "urgical treatlent.
The cause of the accident was probably
lie giving away of an iron girder, one
ich in diameter, which supported a
eavy wooden beam running the length
f the building under the second floor,
he building itself was about 4?*3o feet,
f frame construction, and its west side
itted against the face of a steep hill
r roadway. Entrance to the first floor
as by a door, but to reach the seeona
oor. where the hearing: was being held.
was necessary to climb a loug and
teep flight of steps on the outside,
icing the north. The structure was
IcnUt'ijtly supplied with windows. Tlie
rst floor had been used fur storage poroses
by the Easton firm, but was not in
ftieral use yesterday. Justice Walienorst
had an arrangement with the East?n
