Quietly, but with no apedal precautions for secrecy, preparations are now under way for a revival of gambling In Manhattan after January 1.

Between Twenty-third and Fiftieth atreeta particularly, painters, decorators and renovators are at work In at least a half dositn establishments once well known aa In several places preparations have progressed far enough to permit entertainment of a discreet few who love to tempt fortune through roulette or fuxo. Titers are three places now running quietly In Forty-third street. In the street north of It work Is going on in at least one club, and also in Korty-nret street, but aot in an establishment formerly pie- aided over by Honest John Kelly.

Mr.

Ziegler also announced that It was his Intention to purchase a Blue Grass farm if ll was possible to locate one suitable to the breeding of horses, and he will then likely purchase some noted stallion to head his select stud.

CaL. December 5. 1905. to tuk atiiToa or vac B-vutiaaa. fnder the title.

"Insulted," In the laaue of your paper of November 1H. Il, con tamed a letter from Mr. Ted Sullivan which attempted to explain the failure the Cincinnati Club to eecure the services of my aon. An explanation la the only balm for failure or defeat. The dally pa pers even give space to the vanquished boxers explanation of "how It happened; the victorious athlete reads the story by his defeated opponent of how the result would have been different If this, that or the oilier thing bud been done.

The public has alwaya permitted, and will always per mit, a man who has lost the object he wua seeking to compensate himself for the loss in excusing his failure by some worthy and absurd explanation, or by throwing llin responsibility of the failure on some one else. Appreciating mat Air. nuuivan la entitled to this consolation, I would not utiHwer his open letter If It had not falsely placed myself and my aon In an unenvia ble IlKht. We appreciate too liighly the good opinions of Mr. Herrmann and the people of Cincinnati to allow Mr.

Sullivan to have his explanation at the loss of either. feel that Mr. Herrmann and the baseball public should know the truth. Long before 1 heard of Mr. Sullivan, and before he culled on me.

the Boston Baseball lub and the New York Baseball Club sub- mltti-d offers for my son's services. Later, the Pittsburg Athletic Company requeated me to consider Its offer. In the beginning- I waa oppoaed to my son leaving this city, but finally gave my lonserit. He waa free to play for one, two. three or more years.

It whs not given, as Mr. Sullivan writes, so that he might have a summer's outing 1 advifed him to seek the baseball club with the best and most congenial assocla tlons, rather than the one offering the best salary. City Attorney Long convinced my personal attorney that the Cincinnati Club best met these requirements. Mr. Thomas K.

Dunne and my attorney persuaded me to the same conclusion. Mr. Jake' Holt- miui, my personal friend, and Judge Me! vln. of Oakland, strengthened me In my determination to have my son play with your club. There was adverse criticism of the Cincinnati Baseball Club, but It was never aollclted.

nor was any one Invited to my home to criticise that club. Mr. Sunt van does me an Injustice when be write that any one was asked to my home for the purpose of saying anything derogatory of the Cincinnati Club. All proof of the little weight given to the objections made against the Cincinnati Club is the fact that 1 favored it, and my sou would probably have elcned with It If Mr. Sulll van bad not been five or six duys lute In a riling in thia city lr.

Ciiirke. representing the Plttaburg Baseball Club, arrived here nnd learned that I was In favor nf the Cincinnati Baseball Club. During his here friends and I entertained him as best we could. We- had done the same for Mr. Sullivan on his first visit here.

I am sorry he expected me to be less hospitable to Mr. Clark- than to himself, but his expectations do not regulate my hoepitality. On October -J. Mr. Sullivan wired me that he would leave Cincinnati that night direct for San Francisco.

On the of the same month Mr. Herrmann. In confirmation of that wire, telegraphed that Mr. Sullivan was on his way ti San Francisco. The train leaving Cincinnati on OctnlM-r 2X.

IMA. cminecting with the Overland Limited at Chicago on Sunday evening, reached here Wednesday evening. No-vemlier 1. lli. about three hours late.

If Mr. Sullivan delayed in Chicago until 11 o'clock Sunday evening and boarded Train No. .1 he should have arrived here on that train Thursday. Novemlier 2. lmCi, about even hours late.

Friday. November .1, lfsc. was the latest any train arrived here that connected with a train leaving Cincinnati on October learning this from the railroad company I was surprised at his nonappearance, it looked aa though we were either fooling Mr. Clark or were being fooled. He had determined to leave on the of November, and secured sleeping accommodations for that date.

After much persuasion we induced him to remain another day. We promised him we would give him the preference If we did not close with Mr. Sullivan. We received no word from Mr. Sullivan subsequent to October a.

19C. and 1 enclose you a copy of a letter from A. 8. Mann. District Passenger Agent of the Southern Pacific, which shows that November was the latest be should have arrived here.

All this time Mr. Thomas E. Dunne was repreeentlng Mr. August Herrmann. He and I were both disappointed and surprised at Mr.

Sullivan's delay, and on November 4 we expressed our disappointment In a telegram to Mr. Herrmann. Our telegram solicited a definite offer for one or two years, before Monday at noon. I determined to allow my son to make arrangements with Mr. Clarke unless we received a satisfactory- reply to my wire before noon Monday.

November 4. 1905. I did not believe In playing one club against the other. I did not show to Mr. Clarke or any one else Mr.

Sullivan's or Mr. Herrmann's or any other club'a offer. Mr. Sullivan Is unfair when he Intimates 1 did. Mr.

Sullivan and Mr. Herrtnanc knew I did not want to have him only offer to give more than any other club, but suggested his dennlte oirer. Consequently I wss surprised when I received a telegram from Mr. Herrmann on Sunday. November 19HS.

dated November 4, lSuB, offering a certain sum more than any other club. It was a repetition of an offer that waa made through Mr. Herrmann's friends here, and which I had aald would not be considered. In view of this and Mr. Sulll-van'a nonarrival.

It seemed to me that they did not desire my son's services, and I then advised my son to sign a contract with any club he desired- Mr. Clarke, my son and my attorney then agreed on terms. I wss not present and never discussed the terms with them. The contract was signed early Monday morning-. November 6.

lis 15. I was not present when It was signed. I bad sept ralth with Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Herrmann.

When the latter" telegram arrived no need of waiting until Monday noon. Mr. Sullivan called on me at noon of 7- November MWtt. at least three taan train time. He offered pI? than Joa was to receive from Uraade Try1nd P- to advise or dZZT, rS com Francisco tra7, admS 1'.

Chjrler Csrr. the big first baseman, a I lose release haa been purchase by Cincinnati from Cleveland and whom ruruor had slated for tha management of ths Reds, takes the announcement of the fart that Ned Hanlon la to manage the Cincinnati team very philosophically. Bays ths Cleveland Plain Oaaler. "While I feel sura that 1 could hare made good manager in Cincinnati.

think that Herrmann has secured a splendid man in Hanlon. I shall work hard, however, to make my rivals for the first bass position huaUe. They oertajnl cannot find any fault In my fielding- and I faal confidant that my hitting- will Improve wonderfully. In fact. 1 in willing- to place a few bets that 1 will hit aa well as 1 did during- my first year with Detroit." This remark brought up a brief discussion as to why Carr slumped in his batting after having done so wall with ths Tigers ths first year he was with Detroit.

"There la no doubt." aald Carr, "that that bump I got In ths noss down South two years ago bad something to do with my falling- off with the stick. I know I pulled away from the plate the rest of that year, but during the last season I overcame that fault and fait no fear of being hit whatever. To tell the truth. I think ths Cleveland grounds some what slTerted by batting. If you will look back through the scores of tha gsmei 1 played in Cleveland and while a member the Tigers, you will see that 1 did little or no hitting, while I batted like a rem la Delehanty or Lajote on other diamonds ins sams wss true this last season.

I hit well In Boston. Washington, Chicag ana Philadelphia, but could not hit in Cleveland. In fact. I think If my battin average for the games 1 played away from to uie aurtng tne aeaaon Just ended was computed. It would he found that 1 bl close to So a change of scenes ma be Just what I need.

'Another thing that perhaps affected th work or both myself and Oeorge Stovall during the last season was the fact that the club carried two first basemen, either of whom might be called the regular first baseman. While the club might have been doing all right. I know positively that It is something that Is liable to affect the work of the nerviest player living. There were days out there laat summer when the crowd waa yelling for Carr, when Stovall was covering the bag. and then there were days when they hooted me and yelled for Stovall.

Had either been off the team the one that waa left would have been Inspired wttn more confidence and dona more ef fective work. However, at Cincinnati I may be tp ag-alnat the same proposition that la, if Kelley is again tried at first base. There Is no comparison, however, between Carr and Kelley aa first basemen, and If Hanlon wishes to Inspire his entire infield with confidence It will be Carr that will cover nrat. The big fellow can play better game at first with one hand tied than Kelley ever could. The latter haa been a great outfielder.

There Is no denying tha tact, tie has also been a great all-round player, but as a tlrst baseman Charley Carr has had few equals. With Carr on the bag the other infleldera will know that if it Is possible for any first baseman to get their throws Carr will get them. It Is certainly difficult to throw them too wide or 100 high for the ormer Detrolter. That Bradley and Turner had such splendid aver agHs during; the past season la largely due to the errors that they were saved by Char ley Carr. and both these players will say so 11 asaea.

These Instruc tions 'had little effect on the representa tives of the association, however, for the following day -when th Haggin yearlings were offered the association had representatives la various parts- of tae sale rinar. and when R- L.

Alt. Vernon. X. December IT. Prof Muldoon, th.

well-known physical in structor, who has trained and atudied many prise-fighters In his day, and who runs a big- sanitarium on the outskirts of While Plains, to-night gave bis views on the cbancea of Bob Kltaslmmons giving Jack O'Brien a knock-out blow In their coming fight In San Francisco next Wednesday night. Prof. Muldoon declared that Fltsalmmons la not too old to fight, becaua be is In perfect health and fine physical condition. snd picks Fits for a winner. These are hla views: "I don't think that the age of Boh Kits- Simmons will have any effect on him in his fight with O'Brien.

I saw him Just be fore he went to 8an Francisco, and he was then In perfect health. I don't think speed will count so much In this fight as the wal lop, although you will find that Fitcslm- mona will be Just as speedy aa hla oppo nent. Fits is not so old aa some persons make out. lie Is only 43 years of age. and when 1 saw him seversl months sgo he looked ss though he was ready.

If Fitsslmmona la training properly, and I think he is. I feel sure that he wilt be the winner. 1 know be will fight to the finish. The fight prom ises to be a good one, providing the managers fulfill their SLgreement. There can be no fluke with Fltsalmmons in the ring, un less O'Brien and the managers club togeth er to make It a fake.

Good habits, proper exerclae, proper food and plenty of fresh air always count to make a fighter In perfect health. Fltsalmmons has always taken care of himeelf. There la no reason why a man, say of 45 years or so, should not be Just as strong and Just as good a fighter If not better provided he hss not abused himself. Some men gormandise themselves; they drink or eat ton much and become fat and puffy; they tske on too much flesh and that ruins them, so far as fighting; Is concerned. It is natural for Bob to be hr condition pretty nearly all tti time.

He does not drink to excess, and although he Is a good feeder. he does not become a gourmand, and that Is In his favor. 1 Btien is a wise, clever fellow. I don't hlnk. however, that he Is a match for Fltxslmmons.

who will- prove to be too big and strong for him. Besides, his reach la so much longer, too. Age should net count In a fighter. Where It does effect a fighter It la because the man does ast take care of himself, Fltsslmmona's retention of health and strength Is wonderful, and It 11 due. aa.I have aald before, to his efforts to- preserve his body by not abusing himself in any way.

He is a real fighter and not a Though wrinkles may come in his face. hla grand shoulders stsnd out and remain a strong snd firm as ever. Tluase upper works furnish th driving power, and he still retains, firmly believe, that terrible wallop which In past fights made bis nsms terror to the ringsters. Borne say thst Fltxslmmons Is not ss good ss ever. I disagree with these per sons.

They -call Fltxsimmons tbs "aged Corniihrnan," but I ssy this Is a misnomer. He has not lost his power, his splendid physique or hi fighting ability, and 1 firmly expect to hear at the close of tbe fight that he has again proved hlmseif tne sams big. victorious fighter ss be hss been la th past- I will say, however, thst If he had been training at my sanitarium I would not let him play and wrestle with wild animals: 1 don't think that It Is proper, it is rather dangerous, but otherwise I don't thick I would ehaag tb mod ot training, as hs ran stand most anything.
