Certainly young Jitnm Brltt acquitted himself with alight credit In his recent fight against "Kid" Sullivan. He won. that I?, h'j secured th referee's decision. Some Mvctatcni said tliat lie was entitled to It. oti.ers that it should have been a draw: still others, that Sullivan should have had it. Orantnd that Britt earned the decision, it k a, Pyrrhic victory. One or two such Ictorio uz.d he will not he reckon! much of a champion. For custom and usage has made It so that a champion must do th leading and lighting. Britt . did th feinting, not the real leading, and a'l or th retreating. No mitfr how the fight goes on points, or lead, or ef. lective hitting done, you nn put it down nn th- broad principle that the man who Is running around the outside of the ring and hacking away from the other fellow 1 getting beaten. It is all very well to prate of clean b.ows, and evaded wallops and skill and footwork, hut -the old rough-and-tumble principle still holds. If you book up with a man in a. room and lie makes you run ?found and eventually runs you through he door hit wins, according to the ac cepted procedure of hundreds of years. It manors not that he Is marked and bat tered and you are acatchles. If he ran ion out lie won. .o it Is with ring fights. He who flits It around the rope?, ducking, blocking; and co mt ring, is losing. Duck, run and sprint 1 what Champion Britt did. Sullivan seems to be a strong bor. roush and a puncher. He ought to mak- a good fight with Battling Nelson. Britt fm tt have no taste for a match witn X-lsou. On- evidently was enough for him. ATTKU SEEKS MATCH. That phantom Ishmaelite. Abe Attell. is reeking a match with Young Corbett. The !' write says that he is mote than wil ling. A match between Corbett and Attell would be quite an attraction were Corbett at his beit. Attell never had a punch even if Harry Forbes "flopped" to one of his tups in St. fouls. Corbett once pos "d the opiate, but hi recent fights would indicate that sleep ca longer lurks in the Coioradoan'a right. A skillful man or a. light poacher ten do little with the marvellously clever Attell. Tli- only way to lick Abraham s to nil th air with heavy lists sad shove him Into them. Benny Tanger gave to him an .in nil man-handling in BC Iaouls. Yanger wa made to whip Attell. Ifany experts then held th.it Abe won from Yanger. The mrliT aat hy an expert Judira that night, nnd not one round did they get for the on r ilarrahas. Yanger was tired at the end. it Is true, but there never waa a. roiuwl in which ho had the worst of the milling. Attell may mave marked him. Anv street vixen could do the same thing, ism Vanger had him running for dear life. When you are running you are being !!k'd. Masterly retreats sound well In print In actual warfare they spell de lta!. Att.-11's best light In St. limits was .Is fimt and losing battle to Forbes. That v ..s a wonderful display of skill and cour age It took a gross foul to beat him. At '!! seels every tighter the writer ha nr .een in one particular. He ran evade tiior ;:'hI. well-timed and perfectly 'e livere blow than any man that ever P tried, b.xed or fought. Any man can tvad" a slow. Il'y-tlnied or IH-dellvered blow. Attell can evade perfect blows In most marvelous style. Corle-tt tan beat him quickly and well if h- hap his punch. latching the igniter Corbett will lose. TOMMY ItYAJf DONE FOR, Th.t juit master of the tjueensberry art. Tommy Kyan. seems1 done for all time. Kv.m wa quoted as being after Marvin Hart. This he takes mlns to :i. If he was Itan It Is very small irnuMo he would hao In licking a man like llrt. i:'und all doubt Ryan ha been ine of th-- greatest ring masters of the age. His Mniuc point was Ids Inside counter. Lis risht Inside of and countering the other f- II'iw'h left lead and vice versa with his 1 ft Ryan was rlroply marter of this most difficult to deliver but mot effective .if blows. To deliver the inside counter It jf nceary to step right into your cp p.nenf. ready first fist. If he leads with ht- jeM vou must step over In front of his nxhi Which Is dangerous and to rue c.vsfcjv accomplish which requires skill of tl.e htctiest possible order. ft,in made a. ?(e.dalty of this Inside counter Many nkilful users of the blow are titicfled If they can use It singly. Kyuri was master of the double inside ounter. He could step in and reply to rich' and left blows as fast as they came nnd lie could plare his fists anywhere. His tatorite place was to counter with both rands right under the pectoral nipples. Thi was a most effective blow. He met his man as he was coming, swinging in with . drlic. let him come close and then vl'dsei! him. He did not knock his man out or -tlrken htm. He pjt aandbagced him mt oblivion. Ran could use these rt.nrh.e to stomach or Jaw. but he was ktlfut and confident and withal such a tud-nt of ills' business that he spent tint' and tok chances trying experi ment' .Iut how eod a man Ryan was may be JjdRd by what McCoy did to Sharkey "in! itvan did to McCoy Immediately af-ter-ird To he sure.

Thar he was miraculously built for fighting purposes Is also true. Ryan and Attell, both Hebrews, were cast In the same physical mould. Beautifully eloped shoulders, large clavicles, and that tvon rrul arch of ribs from the spine which gives lung power and denotes su preme vitality. They possess the same short and well-turned loins, powerful hips and tremendous thighs. Owing to the leaning to round shoulders neither could be called handsome of form, but both pos. mesa perfect conformation for the pur-po-e of thsir profession. Ryau far ex-cell-d Attell in knowledge of the value of punching, coolness and correct estimate of opponents' skill and power. All Attell knows is to be clever In ways that are evasive. ityan was clever In ways that were ag gieisive. He knew more about how to hurt and work grevious injury in a clear and hkillful manner than any pugilist that eve.- lived. Add to It all that as a master of retreit he knew no superior, and you will r.nil that for his weight no lighter was as great as Joseph Youngs, a son of Abraliam. who chose the name of Tommy Ryan ttiat he might all the more easily .duc- the hard-earned dollar from the easy Irish picket. THE FIGHTING INSTINCT. Many though the fighters, of the world !. tew of tn-m po9es what is known tlic "fighting instinct."

Most It'1.1?.?"5 ".. I"t negaUvely game i"f V,s' !ney wiu stubboruly accept a fear fu' beating and will not quit. The nghtlnc; instinct can best be defined im a pure love of desperate warfare for lt-i own sake, not for the Joy and profit or winning, but Just for the good time he Is hiims when the battle Is at Its very height. Indeed, the fighting instinct . .'I'1 r,,ar,y hrought forth and defined at the exact moment when the fray is fiercest, and when It Is going a bit against the man who li endowed with that In stinct. Few- fighters of quality like to fight. i'ToV- ,?bett- "'. JacksonSlc AulliTe. McCoy. Ryan-all hated to fight. Th"v were area! fl.hi.ra k.i. .k... .... nl for the money It brought them. If . ..ra .

The righting Instinct gives birth to true and superlative gameness. Every man of any account l negaUvely game. He will ake .1 beating rather than disgrace hlm rlf by quitting. He accepts the Inevita ble with dogged resignation, does bis dull but honest best and Is beaten. The fellow endowed with the fighting In stinct m he. who at the supreme moment, when the tide Is heavily running cgalnst him. braces and throws back the wave of adverse battle. He Is being beaten. The t-liectators deem him lost. Gory, pum meled. bruised, blinded, weary and worn, he refutes to be negatively or game and take his beating. The fighting instinct comes to hi rescue. He turns, and by valorous and determined effort wins. At no time does his eye lose its brignt luster. When the tide of battle is against him he can nlmon sing with delight. In the ronflirt and with no thought of its probable outcome he feels the same r-csta-cy that yonie men are said to have felt in cavalrv cliarces like that of the L,'ght Rtlgaile at Kilaklava or Stuart .it Yel low Tavern. The Joy or the battle Is all that he feel It was the fighting Instinct that pulled Fitz through with Corbett. Pummeled and beaten for eight rounds, the dingo farrier was not content to accept the apparently Inevitable trouncing gamely. When thing were at their wort he arose, and bv sheer delight In the beating that was being given to him. turned the tide of battle ami achieved mint glorious victory. Sharkey and McGotern delighted In the fray. Neither cared or thought of money, or of winning or losing. Th?y Jtst fought heciuse It wa in them to fight.

ENGLISH ATHLETES 10 VISIT AMERICA Alfred Hhrubb, Great Distance Ranner. the Doherty Brothers Leander Boat Club Invited to United States. PS.CIAI. ItY CABIo. linden. July 9. England has had th pYnfisre of entertaining, competing with and In most Instances beating a number cr American athletes reeentlv. It Is not Improbable that within a short time some of the best of the English athletes will so to the United states and try to dem onstrate that it was not solely because they won on their own ground that tee--Ba'r.ed their recent victories. It ts practtcattv certain that Alfred Shntio. urqucationablv the ablest of the distance runners' In Great Britain, will make the trip across the Atlantic and try cut your amateurs. Shrubb has recently returned from a trip to Australia, where he had a remarkable succession of vic tories. He holds all the records from one to twelve miles, and b regarded as the greatest runner alive. I.EANDER ASKED TO COME. Invitations have been received bv the Lender Boat Club to send a crew to America, and the matter has ben consW red. I do not think If llUelv. however, that the Invitation will be accepted beforo i:ct season, if at all. There has been om talk of a chpllonjre by the Ia?andera t meet an all-Ara-rlcan eight next sea son. This. I understand, probably will bo done as an answer to the criticisms that the Zander Club really has In Its mem bership the pick of English amateur oars men, and should, therefore, be willing to meet the pick of the Americans. It has been only In recent vears that the supremacy of the le-anders in rowing has been established. The latnilon Rowing Club won the Grand Challenge Cup eighi times between 1872 and 1KV. while the la anders won it hut twice. Since then the fcest of the university oarsmen have gone to the La-anders in A constantly growing percentage, until now it Is undoubtedly the finest aggregation of oarsmen in the world. Should It deckle to send a crew t.i the Cilbtl Sstates it would be the b"st Greit Britain had to offer in this line of sport. There has lieen some talk of the Do herty brothers taking another irlp to the I'nlted States, but this Is not regarded a llkelv. Their decisive victory In the play for the Davis trophy leaves no Incentive for th"n to make the trip. ' EisLtnd alreoly has u tine cricket team on the other sld. AMERICAN SPRINTERS WIN. In some lines of athletics the Americans hive done better than In tennis and rw itu.. The sprinters from the I"nlvrslty r Peiinsvlvania. who are here II. A. Hy inan. It. Olsen and tlie negro. Taylor have Ken doing some tine work at the various athletic meets, and have,corl u number of very creditable victories, llyinaa's performance In smashing tho world's record for aw yards was a par tlcularlv clever bit of work. He won rloweil 'up In 31 seconds. A notable fea ture of the rate was that C. G. Wood. holder of the previous record of 31 :-." seconds, was a starter and one of the timekeepers, and was the flr-t to congrat ulate the American on having wrested his laurels from him. There Is no doubt to man would have been able to still further reduce the record had he-been pushed. The American cyclists are keeping up their great werk on the Continent. Nat I'.tithr. the old six-day rider, has been doing some fine work on the track, snd is a (insistent wir.ner t all sorts of dis tances, occiishii-ally breaking a record. Itohhv Walthour ts alio adding steadily to his string of victories. nd Incidentally to his bank account. His latest notable viii was th" loa-kilometer championship hi Antwerp Tuesday, when he made the llstar.ee In the good time of I hoar 1 minutes u seconds, and was not pushed In doing it. The French authorities are coii'g to re new the fight against the bookmakers on the race track' In that country. Fnder the law there can he no betting on the French tracks, went In the mutiiet-s. which area Government monopolv-. The hevy bettors have shown a growing partialitv to lb" American and English tve of betting and the business of the mutuels has steadily fallen off. This is to be stopped if the au thorities can stop it and the tide of bel ling turned back to the mutuls. It is not Improbable that a r-sult f the cru-s-ide will be that France will be on fronted with a "poolroom" problem, whtcli tnav necessitate her sending for District Attorney Jerome to help her solve It. TROTTING GROWS IN FAVOR. Trotting is growing in favor in Great Rritain. and a nutrlier of fine trotting horses have been imported from Russia and th" I'nlted States. Some interesting experiments are being made-ln the breed ing of trotters which are being watched with interest. Mr. Wlnsns has bred some trottlns mares to the late Sir J. II. M' ples's great thoroughbred stjlli-ni Com mon, who has the credit of the Two Thou sand Guit'ea. the Derby and the St. l.eger. The results or this h-ecdlng ar several fine-looking youngsters which al ready have. shown great speed nnd stam ina and tnav form the foundation frr a Rri:!?h breed of trotting horses.
