matched back with Harry orbes for the Sagi naw club When the boys had their previous meeting a couple of months ago orties scored a decisive victory over the home boxer seconds being forced to toss up the sponge in the thirteenth to stop a beating that from aloner in tne nrtn round it nas since been claimbd by partisans of Cherry that his defeat was due not so much to su perior ability of orbes as to the weakening effect of weight making or the bout of next riday the scale is made 122 pounds as against 120 on the previous occasion There is no question that the heavier weight is the lightest that Joe can do now to be lit and strong and the interest will be in noting how much two pounds handicapped Cherry on the oc casion of the earlier meeting In Sagi naw they clajm that Joe is a great deal stronger than he was before and also that he is developing a punch that he did not show against orbes In home town there is no doubt that the mill will draw better than had Joe been matched with some boxer who never had beaten him If Cherry keeps away from the punch with which orbes beat him last time the spectators will see a pretty bout BELIE is western war will BE A SHORT ONE An everv

and save he would like a try in the big circuit before going to a minor league club The two years that Siever spentin St Louis were not good ones He never had the form with the Browns that he showed

Trainer itzpatrick is up against about the hardest proposition in his life to make Michigan again a champion on the track and if he can turn the trick it will look as if he had a ner on the wizard business With only two men Nicol and Garrels who are left here of point win ners in the conference meet of 1904 things do not look bright especially when these two men barely succeeded in getting under the money But itz has been stacked up against it almost as hard in some of the past years and his grit and determination have been productive of wonderful re sults in making some well touted favorites from outside see the heels of the Michigan runners Gvm Work for Candidates Just now 100 men are working iit daily in the gym and that looks en couraging to peerless trainer The biggest bunch are en rolled in the distance runs The great success which Michigan has had in tiie mile and two mile events has nat urally aroused a great deal of interest in this department and the practical assurance that Michigan would agaijj send a team to the Pennsylvania in vitation meet has served as a magnet to draw out a large number of can didates who desire tn lug away gold watches from Philadelphia during the latter part of April Michigan has non the four mi le relay national championship two years in succes sion and it is only athletic etiquette to send another team to defend that title So large has the number of dis tance runners become that Trainer itzpatrick has been obliged to di vide the men In three squads so that the track will not be overcrowded Of the new men Schenk of Chelsea has shown the greatest improvement in stepping into varsity company Schenk ran second to Hogenson in the state interscholastic meet last year His greatest fault was in not getting a fast start

them many more before it is straightened out' It all comes about through the uuila ing of Belmont park and the transter to the new track of the racing engage ments of the Westchester association Mr Belmont wbo is the head of the new enterprise wants the dates set aside for the Morris park track here tofore but Dan Hennen Morris says no He wants those dates for the New York Jockey club If his claim (hat the dates of a right belong to the track and not to the association then the only way dates can be assigned for the Belmont park track is by cut ting down the allotment of the other metropolitan concerns and each of these declare that they have not a day they can spare inasmuch as the racing period in this state is by law the season cannot be extended even if any of the recognized tracks wanted dates before or after the pres ent season which they do not The best judgment of racing men Is that Belmont Park will get the dates and the Morris Park combination will be frozen out It is the sincere wish of eastern racing men that the western situa tion could be cleared up without a light but there seems to be little hope for this consummation In fact news from sources which may be considered reliable is to the effect that racing will begin at the Panama track early next month and with a first class lot of horses I under stand that the new jockey club will be formally organized next week and that it will certainly Include Panama Park New Orleans Essex Park Hot Spxings Churchill Downs Louisville Hawthorne and Worth and perhaps Washington Park Chicago

Andrew reedman is merely hks agent in the conduct of the organization That is ancient history but it has charms for those not in ths game here when reedman got control of a majority of the stock of the New York club That happened in 1894 and was the forerunner of tempestuous times for the league as a bodv Although Talcott was an en thusiastic supporter of the game yet he found it took too much of his valu able time He was engaged in mak ing a million in Wall street and ao he decided tn sell out his baseball holdings and get out of the game Ho told a reporter that he would sell his shares for fifty cents on the dollar and the statement was printed reedman was then in a law office and had just done very well as the receiver of the Manhattan Athletic club Through Peter Meyer reed man had become acquainted with Croker and the Tammany chief took to tne young man non proposition he at once went to Croker and got the capital necessary to buy a controlling interest in the club There is no reason to believe that Croker has ever relinquished his ownership of the shares that his money then pur chased reedman has since got into the subway and is now a very wealthy so that he dobs not need
