Terms of the match have not been announced, but It probably will be a percentage contest. Morris, who is the biggest of the present crop of heavies, will outweigh greatly, as he will acale little, If any, under 235 pounds when he goes Into the ring. Flynn will not do more a 175 pounds, being a member of the so-called light-heavyweight division.

To many rinK folioweis it will seem strange that little Abie is so unceremoniously chucked Into the discard and counted out of the running for the 322- pound title. Attcll, however, is a very uncertain factor, due to his serious In- sonic months ago, and it is doubtful whether he ever again will be a formidable warrior in the division ovei which lie reigned for so manv years. With Attell relegated to the ranks of the onlookers, temporarily ut least. It must be conceded that Conley and Poster about aa good a claim to the championship as a one In the country True, there are seviral likely looking challengers waiting in the wings, but they will get their chance to show just as soon aa the victor in thft Conley-Coster encounter Is determined. Thore IB no doubt that Coster is one of the best featherweights in the country, and in his bout with Abe Attell most writers gave him the verdict.

Conley gave Attell a terrific battle, and good critics sa he had the better of it. Conley and Coster are at present in New Orleans training- for the contest, and they will be in the pink of shape when they face each other for the ordeal. Conley has his eye set on the world's title, for if he wins from Coster he will immediately claim the championship, anil should Attell object he will post a forfeit of $2.500 to bind a match with Abe for the title. Conley After World's Title. Should Abe retire, then Conley will immediately go after the English champion so as to make his claim to the world's title cleai.

The records of both bojb show victories some of the sturdiest maulers in the featherweight brigade. Conley probabiv is better known than Is Coster, for the reason that Frankey has been a national figure since he won the bantam championship from Monte Attell a year ago. Later Fiankey attempted to defend his title against Johnny Coulon, but in making the prescribed weight he weakened himself, and Coulon won by a fail- margin. Since that time Conley has announced that he will confine his labors among the feathers hereafter. Conley feels so confident of his ability to defeat Coster that he has signed far three other battles to be staged between now and July 4.

On June 8 he will take on Joe Mandot in an eight-round affair at Memphis, and one week later he vi ill tackle Eddie O'Keefe at Kansas City in a ten-i ound contest. July 4 he will face the Mexican star. Joe Rivers, at Los Angeles, Cal. This bout will be twenty rounds. Jimmv Clabby, of Milwaukee, and Pad- dv Lavin.

of Buffalo, will furnish the feature event at Indianapolis. They will travel ten rounds. In the other wind-up bout Matty Baldwin, of Boston, will take on Young Savior, a redoubtable scrapper of Indianapolis. Jack "VVhitP. of Chicago, and Joe Mandot are slated to appear on the samp bill.

Clabby Plans Vigorous Campaign. Monday's battle will be the first that Clabhy has engaged in since his return from a triumphant tour around the world. Jimmy has announced himself a candidate for middleweight championship honors, and from now he Intends to prosecute a vigorous campaign for the title now conceded to Billy Papke. Tommv Kilbane and Phil Brock are booked to travel ten rounds, at Akron. Ohio, tomorrow night.

Leach Cross will take on Benny Franklin In a ten-round affair at New York city tomorrow night. Johnny ooulon Is slated to go against Patsy Brannigan at Johnstown, on Tuesday. Jimmy Walsh and Johnny Kilbane, seekers for 122-pound honors, will get together at Canton, Ohio, on Tuesday. The winner will be in direct line for a meeting with the victor In the Conley-Coster affair. Matt Wells, British lightweight champion.

Is slated to take on Jack Goodman at New York city on Friday. There is an air of uncertainty about this match, however. Carl Morris, the Oklahoma hope, has a set-up In the person of Jack Geyer, a tub who once sparred for a time with Jack Johnson. This battle is booked for fifteen rounds at Tulsa, on Friday night To round out the week's ring arguments, Jack I-ester, a hope from Michigan, will meet Bill Lang In a return battle at Sydney Australia, on Saturdav. These men met at Sydney on May 13, and Lester was disqunlined in the sixth round for going down without being hit.

It is reported that Sanr Langford will take on Tony Caponi at Kenosha, WIs Monday night, but as considerable opposition 1ms developed to the match It probably will be called off.

4 Years have elapsed since a branded horse went down the big line, but this season a trotter wearing the indelible mark of the range promises to cut some figure in the Merchants and Manufacturers and other classics, for she is named in about all of them. In the entry Lon McDonald's mare, Miss Burbrook, is described as the daughter of George Ayres and Lulu by Almont Medium. This is the pedigree given her when bought'by McDonald, but evidence from Montana is to the effect that it is incorrect. In addition the Western man says she is branded on the left stifle, the brand being a bar over a hollow square. As this fits, there is little question about the correctness of the Identification.

R. C. Hoffman, of Helena, who sends the information, says that Miss Burbrook is 9 years old, and that she is the only trotter that has left there with the particular brand. She Is by Fal, a grandson of Ben Lomond, and out of Queen, by Erect. Ben Lomond, is found 'in the Morgan stud book, and is by Ben Lomond, dam by Mprgan Sumpter, a son of Ericsson, Which stallion was the sire of Doble, the first 2-year-old to trot in 2:40.

At that breeding such as McDonald's mare would not appeal to the up-to-date horsemani but the exceptions make the game Worth while. Has Shown Great Speed. Miss Burbrook has shown a wonderful flight, of speed at times. It was common talk last year that she had been a- mile in about 2:07 for the Boston reinsman, and he spent the entire season in educating her for the big stakes to which she is eligible, for she has a recprd- only of 2:29 3-4. At the time entries closed for the Merchants and Manufacturers the mare was lame, and McDonald did not know whether to go on with her.

The cost of staking is a considerable item with trainers, but McDonald was reminded that history might repeat, so he lost no time Setting her in wherever he could. The last and most famous branded horse to go down the Jtne was the erratic gelding Jlyland brought East by Bob Stewart after he had made a great campaign in 1890 with Walter, when he won the hardest-fought Merchants and Manufacturers in history. Ryland was very fast and unreliable. He beat all of the best trotters in the country, and was beaten by many of the poor ones. As a betting proposition he did not serve the Stewarts' purpose nearly as well as did Walter E.

Wrien the international polo arc over at Meadow Brook the thronirs cheering and a i i handkerrhlrfs and liats, the players shaking hinds aisri ponies beinK led the Iflrt, the- band play "America' or "Rnle B-ttan- nla'" Quien sabe 1 It Is a matrh the bflet two Raroeg In three.

America ill want to know, too.

for each team has a couple or so of Argentine ponies. The United States will want to know for once as quickly of polo as of baseball, not in the cities and towns alone, but also on the ranches of Texas, Wyoming, and southern California, where the American bred ponies come from. And the continent wants to know, too, for polo is played there, and English and American players often entertained. Pick of 2.OOO Players. The interest is warranted, for it is to be the greatest polo match the world has ever seen.

Never since polo was cradled In Persia. 2.000 years ago, has there been sucli a match. It is the first time an All-England team has had to go to another country to try to regain a trophy. The game Is unique In that for the only time on record in sport a portion of the expenses of a British challenging team has been defrayed by a popular subscription. The cash poured In from every part of Great Britain and from the colonies- there was one subscriber in San Francisco--and at last accounts it amounted to some $40,000.

The challengers represent polo wherever the English language is spoken aside from the United States. They are the picked sextet of 2,000 players who recognize the Hurlingiiam club committee as the supreme council of the game; of 850 teams to take part in 60 tournaments last season at Great Britain's polo grounds; of the teams In India, South Africa, and Australian polo associations. The 35 ponies brought over, although It has been asserted tha't a few English players were not responsive, represent the best that could be borrowed or loaned from Hurlingham's adherents. This means the pick of fully 2,000 ponies. The Meadow Brook team will have about 50 ponies to choose from when the last culling out is made.

English oats, fat and sweet, have been imported and are carried about for the challengers' ponies. The only difference in equipment is in the shoes, the American ponies wearing light plates with a flange On the outer rim and the English ponies having the flange on the Inside of the shoe, which In their opinion is the part of the foot most needing a bracing when a pony turns "on a dime." 1 Naturaly to play championship polo is an expensive recreation. The 35 ponies of the challengers are bonded with the i a i a rest I 1 so imenl for JISO ino, wh rl su-nf'on of the ttisf 1 to tho exrenFe c-f iheniarl'. nn, the heir i inr dentals.

They have been in practice throughout April and Max at Georgian court and Long Island, and trials have not been beaten on term? by the best players of America, who have served as volunteers against them A benefit of the international games here and abroad is the profit they bring to the breeders and all who handle polo ponies in any capacity, or who supply the wants in equipments of the players.

Polo this country has within fifteen years Improved the quality of the ranch- bred ponies so much that those not wanted for the game are in general use for riding and driving Collaterally, the gamo has helped the entire business of breeding horses. "Not a cross word all through. Not a mean trick or unsportsmanlike action. It was bully polo and clean right through." said Whitney after the winning games at Hurlmgham. And this, whether the Americans or the Englishmen win this time, is what both teams will say after the Meadow Brook match.
