FOR NEW YORK. lieport That the Game Will Again Flourish In Gotham. BROAD IS HOT AFTER C0R8ETT. Sullivan's Conqueror Eeturns From England and Says He "Will Make the Champion Fight. EYA1T AND FERNS MAT MEET.

STRONG prospect exists that le-altzed glove bouts will again be witnessed In New York State shortly after the new year be- "gins. Various rumors have been in circulation in the past month regarding contemplated legislative action for tho restoration of tho sport. Now, however, it can bo authoritatively stated that a bill to permit limited-round boxing bats will be introduced at the opening of the session next month, says u. special from Gotham. This measure is being drawn up by Emanuel Friend, the well-known attorney, who has been prominently identified with the legal feature of boxing for many years.

Air. Friend asserted that the leading Republicans of the State have discussed the question favorably with him. He has received assurances that if tho measure he is now perfecting provides for the rehabilitation of the game of boxing a new law on the subject will be in force early In 1902. The measure will be introduced by a prominent Republican member of the Legislature, and the Indications point to speeedy and favorable action. When asked to outline the main points in tho bill.

Air. Friend said the vital feature of the measure would be the appointment by tho of tho State of a boxing commission, to consist of dvo members, who will have absolute control of boxing in the State, and will license clubs and sanction bouts on the same basis as the racing commission handled the race meets. It will have authority to discipline offenders against honesty and fair play, and lta rulings in all cases will be final. All bouts shall be limited to twenty rounds and each club will be compelled to pay into the State Treasury a certain percentage of Its receipts. The otllcial referees will be appointed by the commission.

Kid Broad After Corhett "Kid" Broad, the prize fighter, came rushing back to town this afternoon looking for the scalp of Young Corbett. Broad arrived on the steamship Deutschland, says a special from New York. His return Is quite unexpected, as he went over to England only a month ago. His purpose was to fight Jack Roberts before the National Sporting Club of London, but there was a row and the match was declared off. Broad's sole idea in returning at this time is to get a chance at Corbett.

As snun as he heard that AfcGovern had been defeated by the Westerner he saw a chance to get money and glory by landing Corbett, and he rushed for Southampton Just In time to catch the Deutschland. "I'm here," he said, "to make Corbett fight me. He's got to fight me, and he's got" to do it before he fights AIcGovern again. I can lick him easy. I did It once before and do it again.

I licked him in four rounds in Cincinnati and he never put a-glove on me. "That's the object of my sudden return. I'll light him for any amount of money he wants at V2G pounds. "Corbett's got only one punch, and that's his right hook. He tried to land it on me and he couldn't.

I told Terry when he was matched to fight this fellow that ho would have to look out for that, and If he kept away from that there would be no trouble for him. But he didn't do so. I can do It, as I have done it before. "My Cincinnati fight with Mm was only three months ago. It Corbett has Improved a lot since that, why so I have, too.

All I want is a chance to show him that I can lick him. "I'm In good condition right now. practically in training, for I have not HAS ft Billy Delaney Is making arrangements at Portland, for an exhibition to be given by Champion Jeffries there Alon-day night, it is Delaney's intention to take his man ICast by easy stages, giving exhibitions on the way, and to reach New York by January 1. "I havo been reading tho challangea of Tom Sharkey and Tom Jenkins, champion wrestler, and I am glad to iiear of them," remarked Delaney. "I think both men are sincere, and they can consider themselves both on.

I will call on Sharkey on my arrival In New and If he can convince me he means business ho will have no trouble in arranging a match. I have heard Jenkins is a remarkably clever boxer for a wrestler, and am glad to hear it, as it insures Jeff a contest with an opponent who will keep the public and himself -guessing. "We expect to arrive In New York the first of January, prepared to make a match with anyone. If we succeed we will Immediately return to California and once more prepare to defend the title." Byan and Ferns Ave Due. Tommy Ryan does not seem to be In the best of favor with Kansas City sporting men at present, and dispatches from that city indicato that he will have to meet Rube Ferns in the Immediate future if his fighting stock la to bo kept up in the opinion of the Kaw ring followers.

From all accounts, Kansas City la getting just a little tired of Tommy's numerous challenges which never result in lights. Ryan is conducting a saloon in Kansas City at present, and the thirst emporium Is evidently at tho bottom of the whole trouble. Whenever a pugilist becomes a fulliledged publican he Invariably shows a strong unwillingness to re-enter the ring. Rynn Is no exception to the rule, apparently, and tho manner In which he dodged Ferns on tho latters visit to Kansas City has not elevated him in the opinion of those who wanted, to see a fight. Ryan is the hero of more than 150 battles, and, next to Corbett, is about as scientific a man as ever stepped Into the ring.

It looks as If he had enough of the game, however, and wishes to make his money In the future from hla saloon. This would be legitimate enough if he announced his Intention plainly, but the challenges with which he filled the sporting columns of the Kansas City papers have led sporting men to expect something from him In the fighting line. Since Rube Ferns called upon him at Kansas City, however, and expressed a willingness for a match, Tommy has been very quiet. No one can claim that he 13 afraid of the Kansas Rube, but he evidently desires to escape a long, course of arduous training. Conducting a saloon and receiving numerous "set-ups" from admiring folowers has always necessitated a vigorous course of training for pugilists, and it is safe to say that Tommy recognizes his need of such a courso of work.

When Ferns returns from Detroit, it Is said that Kansas Cfty sports will go after Ryan, and will make him fight or announce Ids position clearly. A plan is on foot to bring the men together in Convention Hall within a couple of months, and Ryan will be given every opportunity for a meeting. Tho wily Hebrew has always shown a readiness to meet dubs" whero eay was to be picked up. hut of late, while still Issuing challenges, he has seeme-d to wish retirement from the ring. If the sports would allow him to do so.

What Dave Sullivan Says. Dave Sullivan yesterday posted a forfeit to bind a match with Young Corbett, the conqueror of Terry AIcGovern. Sullivan says that he Is not going to quit In his efforts to induce tho Westerner to fight him, and will only take no for an answer when he Is convinced that the new champion is really in earnest about ignoring him; savs the New York Sun. In company with Tom Sharkey, Sullivan visited a downtown office and left a check calling for $2,500 and drawn on the Bank of New Amsterdam "This money Is to be used to Induce Young Corbett to fight me," said Dave, with a confident air. "1 will leave it up for several weeks.

If it is covered I will permit Corbett to name his own te rms All I want Is a fight. Ho Is the champion and can dictate, but If he will only say that I will receive the first chance I am satisfied to wait a vear or more for the contest. If that isn't fair, I don't know what is." A JOHN E. tween Pjow-j and Rogers regarding next season's results is said to be intense. Each has told to his friends that he will train the greatest stable of youngsters in the world next spring.

Mr. Madden's ftrlng at Churchill Downs Is by long odds the likeliest looking bunch he ever brought to the famous old course, and their TOk when spring opens up will bo watched with great interest. American League Has Signed Twenty-eight of Its Stars. WHAT BAN JOHNSON HAS DONE Other Teams So Weak That Pittsburg "Will Have a Bunaway Eaoe For the Pennant HOW QUAKERS HAVE STJFFEBED. THE American Lea-gue In its crusade to wipe out all major league opposition has captured two more National League stars, making twenty-eight corralled since close of tho 1901 season two months ago.

The latest acquisitions to Ban Johnson's liustling organization are Frank Donahue, pitcher of tho Philadelphia club, and "Kip" Selbach, Andy Freedman's left fielder. Donahue goes to St. Louis and Selbach to The complete list of National League stars now signed by the Americans and the clubs to whloh they will go are as follows: PHILADELPHIA. Monte Cross to Athletics. Willtam Duggleby to Athletics.

Elmer Flick to Athletics. Harry Wolverfon to Washington. Ed Delehanty to Washington. John T-ownsen! to Washington. Albert Orth to Washington.

Eddie McFarland to Chicago. Frank Donahue to St. Louis. William Douglass to St. Louis.

KBW YORK. "Kip" Selbach to Baltimore. George Davis to Chicago. Roger Denzer to Chicago. BROOKLYN.

Joseph Kelly to Baltimore. Willie Keeler to Baltimore. Tom Daly to Chicago. ST. LOUIS.

Rhody Wallace to St. Loula. Emmett Heldrick to St. Louis. Jesse Burkett to St Louis.

Jack Harper to St. Louis. Willie Sudhoff to St. Louis. John Powell to St.

Louis. Dick Podden to St. Louis. Joe McGnnn to Baltimore. CHICAGO.

Topsy Hartsel to Athletics. Danny Green to Chicago. William Hughes to Baltimore. BOSTON. William Dlneen to Boston.

A year ago the American League hit Philadelphia harder in Its raid upon the w-o-Mnnni thrji ojiv of the other cmbs, with the possible exception of Chicago and Brooklyn, and now seems bent upon wiping out Manager Shettsline'a team completely. St Louis and Brooklyn are, however, also' hit very hard, the former losing nine players and the latter the four stars who were the mainstay of Hanlon's aggregation the past season. Pittsburg Eemoins Intact As Pittsburg lias not lost a man, but to the contrary has strengthened Its team by capturing the only two players who have deserted' the American League Smith, the AthleUc cTubls; cotoher, and Conroy, the Milwaukee-shortstop the National League race next season promises In advance to be a force. All the other National League teams, and especially Philadelphia, St. Louis and Brooklvn, which were the ones that gave Pittsburg a hard fight for the pennant "Oils year, having been reduced to minor league strength, Dreyfoss' Smoky City aggregation should make a runaway race of it next season.

Indeed, it should establlsn a new baseball record by winning every came it plays. lor not one of the other weakened seven teams has license to win a single game from the present National hhe1sln1sle5exceptIon of Pittsburg, all the other teams have been so weak-tned by thelrald of the American League upon them that the National League in point of playing strength, cannot claim to be more than a Class A minor league next year. The Blacklist lifted. The action of President Ban Johnson In lifting the blacklist on contract Jumpers like Dlneen, Wallace and Heldrick will not receive the Indorsement of a large number of baseball supporters, who would have advocated a different line of policy being pursued, but others will accept the reason given for doing so as a wise war measure Ban jonnson umw it is a war of extermination between the two leagues, oruugm. uj which threw down the gauntlet after the American tried to enter the field as friendly rival, and by holding out financial Inducements last spring to players to lump their contracts, the safest, surest and quickest way for the American to end this war and exterminate the National Is to take away all the latter's good players thus reducing it to minor league standing and leaving it without any attractions In the shape of star men.

Ban Johnson's Policy. Viewed in this light. President Johnson is probably pursuing the right course, though many friends of the American League would have preferred to see the contract-Jumpers kept under the ban of the blacklist and tho new organization remain consistent to the end. Such would probably have been the case had not the triumvirate in control of the Boston National League Club been a little hasty in a premature announcement. In this they proposed to go out next spring and secure such players as they desired regardless of whether they had already signed contracts with American League clubs, and no matter how much money It required to Induce players to Jump the said contracts.

Under the circumstances Ban Johnson's "war measure" Is probably Jus-tilled. American Disrupts national. At -any rate the American League now has, with a very few exceptions, ail the best players under contract, all its teams have been vastly strengthened, and it will enter the field next spring as tho strongest baseball league. In point of playing strength, known to the history of baseball. Thus has Ban Johnson in the brief space of one year broken up the erstwhile all-powerful National League, heretofore considered invincible in strength, and reduced the greatest baseball monopoly ever formed from a major to a weak, struggling minor, league.

What Philadelphia Has left With the loss of Lajoie, Fraser, Bern-hard and Piatt last year and Delahonty, Flick, Monte Cross, Wolverton, McFarland, Douglass. Duggleby, Orth, Town-send and Donahue this fail, there is only a remnant left of the once great Philadelphia National League team. That remnant, around which Manager Shetts-line will be obliged to build a team to represent Philadelphia next year In the weakened National League circuit, consists of Hallman, Thomas, Barry. Jock-lltsch. White and Jennings, provided the latter can be induced to play again, after announcing his permanent retirement from -the diamond.

With all the first-class players in this country under contract to other clubs, It will bo utterly Impossible for Manager Shettsline to get together a strong team. Col. Rogers will perhaps find consolation In the fact that his seven subcutaneous drainage systems remain undisturbed and that he still has the cantilever' left. Smoke one you'll want another, and then yon'll hny a box. It's the-fattest and Hnest 5-cent cigar ever introduced into this market.

IMPORTANT CASE IS CONTINUED Board of Review of National Association Holds Up THE NOTED CHORAL MATTER. Many Affidavits Are Beceived, Some Stating She Was a Binger and Others Denying It BOAED MEETS AGAIN" IN MAY. EW YORK, Dec The Board of Review of -the National Association' finished, its meeting at the Murray Hill Hotel to-jiJght and adjourned until next May. The docket, which at the beginning of the meeting consisted of about 1C0 cases, was nearly finished. The case which excited the most general outside interest was, however, continued.

This was the case as to whether the pacing mare Ononda Maid, that got a mark of at Syracuse last summer, is or is not the well-known Choral, A score of affidavits tending to prove that she was not were introduced at Wednesday's session, against a nearly equal number to tho effect that she was, which were already in the hands of the board.

VAN TETS IS DEAD, BUT NOT FROM A DUEL Alleged Champion, of Holland's Queen Said To Have Died a Natural Death- London, Dec.

6. (Special Cable) A dispatch to the. Central News from Amsterdam says that Jonkfnerr G. J. Van Tets, the Netherlands court official, who was said to have been wounded in a duel with Prince Henry, husband of Queen Wllbelmlna, died last night from peritonitis, from which he had suffered for three weeks.

The professor who made a post mortem examination ot the body reported to-day that be found no trace of violence, and that death was due to natural causes. Maj. Van Tets was reported to have challenged Prince Henry because of his demeanor to the Queen. The Btories pt domestlo trouble In the royal household have gone to such extremes that extraordinary means have been resorted to to counteract them. Hie Dutch ministers at foreign courts continue to aver that the couple live in "an ideally happy union," and "are devotedly attached to each other," etc.

According to some reports a conciliation between the Queen and Prince Henry was effected, largely through the influence ot Emperor William, and the Queen's mother. In order to preserve an appearance ot concord, even paid the Prince Consort's debts. The Paris correspondent ot the Times says the malicious rumors in regard to the Queen and Prince Henry are the fabrications of cheap Socialist papers in Holland. He adds: "It Is a most happy thing that there iB no domestic strife. The Prince is kind and the Queen loves her husband and harmony has always Our Kids "a skin g3mc from start to finish."

The discussion continued throughout the afternoon, and, although- no definite announcement was made, it is understood Chat a measure probably will be ready for presentation to the committee next week, with the prospect of being reported to the House without delay, and passed before the holidays.

The meeting of the Republican members of the committee went over until Monday, when, it is expected. Representatives Grosvenor and Hopkins, who were absent to-day, will be back.
