TT has Just been learned that Frankie
| ,A Burns, the Jersey City bantam, was
1 ' suffering from a debilitating ail
ment directly before and after his re
cent bout with Digger Stanley. Tommy
Dee, Burns’s manager, had Frankie
(examined by a physician, who advised
that the Jersey City lad should not
\ tight. The lad was game and' went
through with the bout, taking a chance.
1 Dee will not accuse anybody of playing
} a trick on Burns, but the rumor is out
that a New York gambler fixed up a
,1ob on Burns down in camp. At any
rate. Burns was not at his best for his
last light. An Investigation la being
made, and there will be a lively time
for somebody If anything crooked is
, discovered.
--O
Monday night Burns starts a ten
•weeks’ theatrical engagement in Bos
ton on the Western burlesque wheel,
tie will not fight Stanley, until after
rlhat time, though a match will be
clinched sooner than that. In the mean
1 time, however, Burns will meet Alf.
Dyncli Jn New Haven about the 14th

"If $600 is posted for weight and side
|j bet I’ll meet Buddy Faulkes any time
t< at 118 pounds ringside. There must be
fi a side bet," said Patsy to the writer
.; last night. “There has been a great
deal of talk about town," said Patsy,
“that I was afraid to meet Faulkes at
Ij McGuigan’s Monday night. I was not
f afraid. Here Is the whole story, so
people will understand: ’My brother
Nick called me from McGuigan's and
told me that Paddy would give $250 to
me to fight Faulkes. I said all right
and jumped In a cab to go to Mc
Guigan’s to meet Buddy. Paddy mean
while made the announcement to that
(effect. In the meantime, though, Roehm
told my brother Faulkes wouldn't meet
me. Nick met me at the door and told
me that I was advised not to go in,
ns there would be no tight, and that
I’d be introduced just to satisfy the
crowd that was disappointed ut Young
Wagner’s failure, to show up. I'm not
afraid of anybody and want it under
stood that the failure to fight Faulkes
w as not my fault.' ”
Patsy is training faithfully for his
bout with O’Toole. Kline may tak^u
crack at the fight promoting game
.hereabouts with his friendT Hymie
Gross. The Olympic Club may be the
scene of their activities.

We like to see good basketball, but It
Is seldom furnished In these parts. The
Trenton-Crescent game Sunday at Klec
trlo Park should furnish us,a look at
good basketball once more." Isn't It a
’ fact, though, that the necessity of go
ing out of town for tteo teams to play
instead of a local five is a severe ar
raignment of local players? Isn't it
proof of the contentions of those who
say there Is no more good basketball
among local fives?

They all talk about how cruel boxing

! BEN DOUGLASS FINDS
DENNING TOO FAST
A KAN FOR HIM
Niew Yorker Wins Praetor Club’s
Star Bout—Moore Beats
Schwartz.
TACK DENNING was far too clover,
shifty and speedy for Ben Douglass,
* of Newark, in the star bout of the
Proctor A. C. show ut Renner's Hall
last night, and Ben took a beating from
the visitor. Ben was swinging wild
I most of the time and ini: s d with
| vicious wallops several times that
| made him look ridiculous in the eyes
of the spectators.
Denning used a straight left jab and
a right uppercut, and luid Douglass
j covering up several times. Repeatedly
the New York boy shoved his- left
through Ills opponent’s, defense, and In
the first round Ben's face and should
ers were red from the welting he re
ceived. Denning outboxed him from
every angle. In the second Ben landed
his only clean blow of the light, a
; vicious right swing to the Jaw, but
Denning came right back and fought as
hard as ever.
The third was about the most even
round of the fight. The pair started
to box at close quarters, and for a
minute Douglass had the better of the
game at infighting, but when Denning
j kept away he again regained his ad
I vantage. On one occasion h" met
Douglass coming In and turned him
I completely around with a vicious
| swing. Sony of the blows that Denning
j landed to Douglass's Jaw would have
■ put another man to sleep in short or
j der, but the husky Ironworker was able
j to weather the storm successfully. In
I the fifth round Douglass was bleed
| Ing from the nose and did little leading,
j Denning was the winner easily.
.Schwarts Benton.
The semi-fin#l at six rounds between
j Bobby Moore and Young /Schwartz was
one of the best bouts of the night.
I Moore had It on Schwartz In height,
reach anti weight, as well as science.
Schwartz took a beating and showed)
he was game, but on one occasion lost
his head and did not fight clean. In
direct opposition was the work- of
Moore. Though he was a visitor, he
was roundly applauded for his clean j
work.
In the preliminaries John Ray, of !
New Y'ork, and Jhn Kano, of Newark, |
fought a draw. Young Davis, or Pas- I
sale, was beaten by Dick Burge, of j
Newark. Nickev Sayres hung It over |
on Y'oung Austin and Walter Burke'
knocked out George Brown, of Jersey
City, in the first round of their fight j
by clipping him twice with rights to
the jaw.
The star bout next week will bring
together Youns^JCurtz and Jim Dona
hue, the latter of Passaic. "Irish" Ma
hon will fight in the semi-final with
either Babe Cullen or some good boy
from Boston.

CAMP EVPFCTS TO SEE
SOME RULES CHANGED.
NEW HAVEN, Conn., Feb. 2.—Not
many changes in the intereollega to
football rules are expected at the forth
coming meeting of the rules committee;
by Walter Camp, the advisory au
thority on ath'etlCS at Yale. He says:
"I expect to see some changes decided
upon which will result jrr the wording
being clarified. It is but natural that
in a new code there should be some
complications in drawing the rules. The
alterations probably will not uffect the
play from the field. It is clear that
the rules which forbade pushing and
pulling the past season Were a decided
development of the game, and I hope
that it will be retained I know of no >
movement to change it.”

balance the advantage one man gains

ENGLEWOOD GOLFERS
ENJOYiNG THE GAME
DURING THE WINTER
Additional Traps Being Added
to Fine Apawamis
Course.
BY STRAIGHT DRIVE.
WHILKkthe officers of the Engle
woocr Golf Club believe thor
] oughly in protecting their beau
tiful summer greens during the long
winter months, they do not propose to
mar the pleasure of their members en
tirely, so when they closed their sum
mer greens for the winter they laid out
eighteen temporary greens, so that the
members can have full use of the course
I throughout the winter whenever the
I weather would permit of their playing,
i When the ground is frozen it does not
; injure it in the slightest to play over it.
I There are many days during the winter
| months when the sport can be thor
i oughly enjoyed, and on such occasions
the members turn out in goodly num
bers, especially on the week-ends.
Four-ball matches are the most popu
lar, and they are always thoroughly
enjoyed.
Apnwnml* Improvement*.
Many additional traps were added to
I the Apawamis Club's fine eighteen-hole
I course last fall, in anticipation of se
| curing the national amateur champion
ship, and tlte club was not disappointed,
as the majority of the delegates to the
I annual meeting of the United States
I Golf Association at Chicago voted in
I its favor.
The club will invite the executive
committee in the spring to inspect its
course, and any suggestions they can
make in regard to placing additional
traps will bo attended to instantly.
Tile course is very heavily trapped as
it is, and it is a question if the United
States Golf Association officials cun
offer any suggestions for additional
traps. At the annual meeting of the
Apawan.ls Club, hold January 21, Fred
erick S. Wheeler and Sidney A. Lawton
were reelected governors, and George
El Dearbourne was also elected a gov
ernor to fill the vacancy made by iho
expired term of Simeon Ford, who de
clined a reelection.
The board will organize at the next
monthly meet ink February 20, when
the officers will be elected and the
various committees appointed. The
members of the cluo have been playing
golf over the course all winter, but last
Saturday it blew such a gale that not
a single player could hole out on the
first green, as the balls would be blown
back off the green as fast as they could
be pitched up, so the first hole had to
be abandoned and inly such holes as
the wind would permit could be played,
but the luck was far better on Sunday.
St. Andrew"* Spending Money.
The St. Andrew’s Golf Club, of Yon
kers, is spending about $7,000 in Im
proving its water supply. . It ts ob
tained from the spring near the ninth
green, but they have always had more
or lees trouble In August and the "dry
season, so they are building a new
reservoir on the peak of the highest hill
on their property, back of and to the
north of the first green, overlooking
the bungulow of Andrew Carnegie, to
the north of the seventeenth green,
which is also to have a water supply
from the new reservoir. The spring has
been dug out and a new pumping sta
tion built, in order to get rhe
benefit of the former overilow which
fed the brook crossing the course on
the meadow holes.

DIVANEY ENTERS
3-MILE RACE AT
COMPANY B GAMES
Bellars and Ahlgren Expect to
Capture the Race from
Belleville Boy.
ONE of the most thrilling races ol
the evening is looked for in the
three-mile handicap, one,of the
feature events of the big '‘Diamond
j Meet," to be held by Company B at
the First Regiment Armory, Hudson
j street and Sussex avenue, next Wednes
j day night. The track and training
committee has scoured the country in
an effort to get the best men in the
East to start in this event.
Among those who have signed entry
blanks for'this event are Joseph Ma
lone, of the Mohawk A. C., who lias
won more fast-time prizes in cross
country races than any man in the
game. Frederick Bellars, of the N. Y.
W
"Sk«l«" Devaney.
A. C., senior national cross-country
champion; "Skcets", Devuney, of the
Xavier A. A., the Belleville boy who
experts pick as a corning champion;
Janies Clark, Xavier A. A., holder of
all American amateur records from
17V4 to 20 miles; Tom Harris, Glenco< \
A. C„ the speedy colored boy, and j
Alexis Alilgren, Ozanani A. A., the j
great Swedish athlete, who has ran
cross-country races every Sunday this 1
winter and has yet to meet his first
defeat. He has captured premier honors
in several distance races over the
boards, and has built a great reputa
tion In the short time ho has been
competing in this country, and the
Irlsh-American Athletic Club are all
ready fighting through the registration
committee of the A. A. U., claiming ,
him as a member of their club. This'l
will be his first appearance in this
State.
Entries of at least two more cham
pions are expected by the committee
for this event, and, together with the
lesser lights on the handicap marks,
this field should come preciously close
to George Bonhag’s record of 14:29 2-5
for the distance.

' Ihursday night. The final agreement
! for a meeting by the managers ot the
; two men was brought about yesterday,
j "’hen Hackenschmidt offered to throw
Zbyszko three times In two hours, Her
man called attention to the tact that
the Russian had stated some time
j previously that he could throw the
j 1’olfsh champion twice within an hour,
and uiso proclaimed his willingness to
wrestle on these terms; "winner take
all and also to make a side bet " < ur
I ley, however, held out for his original
j proposition, but finally a compromise
j "as reached and Hack has undertaken
i to put Zbyszko's shoulders to the mat
twice within an hour and a half, the
i division of the purse to be settled i,p in
and the referee to be selected upon the
arrival of the two men In New York
, the latter part of this week,
j It is practically a foregone conclusion
that Frank Gotch. the world's chain- j
pion, will meet the winner, and a wife j
has been sent to the Iowa farmer ask- !
Ing him to set a price upon which lie
will agree to holding the match In Ne*

ATHLETIC DECLINE
MADISON, Wig.. Feb. 2. j
IN the current number of the Alumni ;
Magazine of the University of Wis- !
eonsin. Prof. O II. Punting gives j
his version of why Wisconsin Is weak i
in athletics. He points out to the
alumm that the professors do not lie 1
awake nights planning now to cripple j
the athletic teams, but that Is a con
dition and not a theory which confronts I
the uthletes In the university.
At present it is the scarcity of ma- i
terial and not faculty edicts which put !
a bright on different teams. He dls ]

RAT HATFIELD, the local boy, and
Shadow Morris, the negro wel

slugger, while the negro pugilist fights
all the time.

AGAINST MARTO
Mistake of Opponents’ Seconds
Gives Victory to Harry
Lewis.
PHIL, KNIGHT, the Kansas City
cyclone, and Johnny Marto have
the centre of the fistic stage to
night. They are to meet In the star
bout at Tom O'Rourke's National Club,
ai.fi. Judging by the reputation Knlgnt
brings out of the West with him, the
i elite who attend the National show
| should see a scrap of the hair-raising
variety. Knight is a slugger, with
little of the fancy stuff in Ills style,
and Marto fights along the same line.
This Is Just the reason O'Rourke
matched them. Ilo figures with two
head-on collision artists in the ring
the best bout of the season will result.
. Tonight will show just where Knight
! fits. If ho can beat Marto decisively,
j something no one else has accom
plished, he will find lots doing for him
In tile New York clubs.
..Harry Lewis, the American welter
weight, won last night from ''Blink''
McCIoskey in what was scheduled to
be a fifteen-round fight. McCIoskey
abandoned the contest after the third
1 round as the result of a curious ac
cident, his second throwing ammonia
Instead of water in his face, which
temporarily destroyed the sight of Ills
only eye.
Young Otto, of New York, so far out
classed Eddie Webber, of Indianapolis,
last night that their bout before the
National Athletic Club was stopped by
the police In the third round to save
the Indiana man further punishment.
In the third round Webber went to the
lloor, but he managed to stagger to ills
1 feet. The police then, Interfered. The
j New York fighter was unmarked.
‘‘Jeff" Clark (the "Fighting Ghost"),
I of Philadelphia, gained a decision over
"Montana Jack" Sullivan, of Butte, in
1 a ten-round bout at Albany last night.
Young O’Leary faces Kid Bluck in
the star bout at the Long Acre Club to
; night. Black has decisions over such
boys as Kitson and Goldman, unit hts
debut against the clover O’Leary will
be watched with interest. In tho semi
final of six rounds Al. Ginger, who has
met such boys as Tony Bender and j
others, will clash with Walter Hen- i
nessy.
Porky Flynn, of Boston, gave Jack
Bums, the California heavyweight, a
terrific beating in a 20-round bout at
the Olympia A. C., London, last night.
It was Flynn's fight all the way. Burns
was willing enough, but he was no
match for tile man from Boston. The
bell saved Burns at least ten times.
BUi Brown, the brother of Dixie Kid,
was beaten in ten rounds at the
Sharkey Club by Bob Scanlon in a bout!
that was replete with clinches, and It]
took the referee half the time to sop-!
aruto the men.
A match was arranged today between
