closing of the racing season for Chicago this year Ideal park has been free from the scandals which usually crop up In spite of the cleanest methods to prevent them The only thins- that could be

It may be said that Slavin is something of a "has been" and was not on a feather edge for the bout But it is certain however that Slavin is a tough trial horse and anyone who can beat him to a standstill in four rounds of slugging must be made of good stuff It looks as though Armstrong ought to be counted with the best of the second-rate big fellows at least If he will be content to go along with that class until he gets a little more actual ring experience he may have the right to try the best of the first class Armstrong is young and should be a much better -man five years hence than he is at present WARNING TO FOUL BOXERS For the fifth time Tommy Ryan and "Mys terious" Billy Smith have met without results satisfactory to ring patrons At Mas- peth I Wednesday night Ryan got the de cision over Smith on fouls According to the best advices both men were battling hard and fit to go a long way when the referee stopped the fight Smith many thought had the best of the bout and as be was in prime condition he looked the winner just before the last clash Referee Tim Hurst has been upheld in his decision by many of the ring followers am the broad general principle that Smith has the name of being a rough fighter There is1 a dif ference of opinion however as to the facts Men who were at the ringside who are good judges declare Ryan yelled foul nearly every time he got worsted in a mix-up and the referee took much for granted The-fight' ing at times was furious and Smith was al ways the aggressor In the -close work Ryan got severe punishment and cried foul with out cause Smith it is said had all the best of the contest and but for the interference of the referee must have won in a few rounds more Ryan's friends claim that when Smith gets a few smart blows he loses control of himself and goes in for the roughest sort of work He tries to throw his man refuses to break fairly and does other things not permitted under the rules In his last bout they say he struck Ryan on the break-away and even used one hand to fight with while he held on to his man with the other This to say nothing of his palpable fouls in at tempting to trip Ryan was more than the referee could stand and he gave Ryan a bat tle on fouls which he might have lost by fair fighting Smith is ready to meet Ryan again on the same terms as those governing their recent contest But Smith will not fight again under Referee Hurst He says Hurst was Influenced more by Ryan's cries of fouls than by any actual fouls he saw committed Should the men meet again at catch weights Smith would be the favorite FIGHT FAIR ABROAD In London where the boxing sport flour ishes Smith would not have gone as far in fouling as they say he did at Maspeth for the boxers over the water are given to understand that fouling to a small degree will not be tolerated A man who fouls there not only loses his contest but is after it tabooed by all good clubs It would be well to make an example of a few of the foul boxers we have in this country If they were made to understand that fouling not only lost them the bout In which they were engaged but "would bar them from further contests in reputable ciubs the art of "back heeling" and other species of "fine work" would be lost to the boxer Accidents will happen but no well-balanced referee will give a bout against -a man for an unintentional foul which does little damage These slips will generally even themselves up In a ten round go but the intentional foul should in the interest of boxing be nipped in the bud FRANK ERNE CHAMPION The splendid showing Frank Erne made against George Dixon Friday night put Northwestern Football Team to Be Modeled After Ya'e Ex-Captain Thome of Old Eli to Succeed Culver as Coach- Tklaroons Have a Mutual Admiration Party and Then Attend the Theater Stags Will Issue a Signed Statement in Regard to Championship TACTICS WILL BE CHANCED NEW SYSTEM AT NORTHWESTERN The Northwestern university football team for the season of 1S96 has been formally dis-banded On Friday evening the eleven as an organization met for the last time at the home of Kirkman president of the Evanston Athletic association The banquet which was confined to the members of the team half a dozen substitutes and the coaches had more than a social significance At it the policy for next year was carefully discussed and planned So important was the event deemed that the very fact of the banquet was kept a secret until yesterday when the dicision was made to allow the public to learn what was said and done By the scheme of campaign laid down during the evening Northwestern will try to schedule only three or at the most four big games next year one with Michigan one with Chicago one with Wisconsin and one with the Carlisle Indians should the red men make a western trip In case they do not the fourth game will be abandoned or one sched- Hied with Illinois in Its stead Coach Culver made in the course of his toast the positive statement that he had left the gridiron forever and that hereafter his time was to be devoted entirely to the practice of law His step was entirely unexpected and while it undoubtedly means that his career as a paid coach is over his love for the game and for his alma mater are In the belief of Northwestern students almost sure to bring him back to help put the finishing touches on the team before nearly every game Culver has been beyond all doubt the great factor in forming Northwestern's strength and the members of the team realize it "He is a great coach" said one player last night "and he got us into winning shape He thinks that he has been in athletics long enough and that now is the time to auit Perhaps he is right but his decision is a bad one for Northwestern" For several weeks Culver and Van Ioozer have been working on a plan for securing an eastern coach and the most important thing discussed at the banquet was their report The result was definite Northwestern will have two coaches and a trainer next fall More than that the men for all three positions are well in mind The head coacher will be an eastern man and a Tale man Sheppard who has been Instructing Northwestern this year in Yale tactics is responsible for tthe decision in favor of old Eli methods Captain "Van Doozer said that he had the very man In mind for 'the place and that he believed he could be secured Nothing more definite was said but the desired man is believed to be Brlnkerhoff Thorne Yale captain '93 and one of the greatest half backs the team ever had The overtaining which lost the second Chicago game showed clearly the imperative need of a practical trainer and another year he will so says Mr Kirkman be on hand All hope for a deciding Chicago game hias been entirely given up though Northwestern feeling against Chicago has been greatly enhanced by the scant courtesy with which the challenge was treated The extreme rapidity with which the Chicago team got out of training is also receiving unfavorable Nortlvwestern comment "Why" said a Northwestern player yesterday "if Captain Roby and Coach Stagg are to be believed the Chicago team wrs disbanded the moment the Michigan game was won Our challenge reached them a few minutes after the game was over and we were informed that the training season was over and hence no other contest could be arranged" CELEBRATING AT THE VARSITY TEAM IS BUSY ALL DAY Captain Roby Coach Stagrg and the mem-bers of the University of Chicago football team had a jollification meeting all by themselves yesterday noon It was not like the Kent hall celebration the night before with all of its shouting and tin-horn tooting and singing but only a quiet little talk and hand-shaking party Stagg told how it all happened in the Coliseum how proud he was- of the boys and how highly he esteems "Kid Herschy's good right leg" Then the fellows spoke of their esteem for their coach their captain and their trainer After that the captain and the trainer took their turn at it In short there was much mutual admiration in evidence The whole class bade adieu to moleskins and head armor and padded sweaters yesterday for a year to come A good portion of the morning they spent in packing the toggery deep in their gymnasium lockers or storing it away in the innermost recesses of the storage-rooms Only the ordinary sweaters with the big in front did they retain for future use To have the privilege of wearing the letter insignia is accorded a special honor and only those who represent the university in an intercollegiate contest "are permitted' the distinction Through Trainer Beutner's assistance the members were given a royal reception at the Grand opera-house last evening Early in the day the veteran overseer called on Miss Anna Held and pointed out to her how popular she would become with the chrysanthemum-haired athletes should she pay special attention in her singing to the victorious youths This she did and Trainer Beutner rewarded her with a huge bunch of American beauties when she responded to an encore Early this week the players will meet and elect a captain for the ensuing year Among the chief candidates for the place are Herschberger Clarke andRoiby Coach Stagg is paying little attention to the football championship complication He aid last night: "Though I am aware that college enthusiasts are squabbling over the -championship I am not desirous of becoming involved in the dispute I have already said that It appears to me that the honor belongs to the maroon I have not however had a moment's time to sit down and thlnk the matter over It maybe that when I do so I will change my opinion" (k It is stated that the director intends issuing1 a signed argument in a few days outlining hia reasons for claiming that his men are a champion team ENCLEWOOD DEFEATS ECCLESTONS LOSERS FAIL TO SCORE Nearly 300 persona gathered at Washington park yesterday afternoon to witness the game between the Englewood Unions and the Egglestons Play started at 3 o'clock and from the beginning the work of both teams was interesting and exciting Eggie- ston's superior team work soon told how ever and they did not allow their opponents to score Nearly all of Eggleston's gains were made bv center plays Both teams punted reauently Eggleaton having the bet- thought lie had slightly the best of the bout: He and Erne therefore should be so close' together that a meeting between them would prove attractive Whfte's4 friends think his go with Dixon did him a lot of good and they are sure he is better1 today than he was when he met the littleoltfred wonder If he has improved he ought to be a favorite over Erne should they meet' MATCHES "fq STIFT An effort is being made to match "Billy" Stift against Dick Moore or Fred Morris the "cyclone Stift says he is willing to take on either one of them in fact he is willing to box them both Stift is working hard at College point and writes that he is in the pink of condition and would not object to bout with any man at weizht Stift has made many friends in the east who want to see him tried against a erood man Those who have seen him box have a wholesome respect for his terrible right hand and many of the boxers are a little shv about fretting into the ring with him OBJECT TO THE BIG ONES Already there is a rumbling of discontent in New lorK at the attempts to bring off the Corbett-Fitzsimmons contest under the protection of the Horton law Men who scarcely know what the Hortoni bill is knew ail about Corbett and Fitzsimmons and they are raising their voices'" against a prize fight between these two: People remember they were driven out of Texas and Arkansas and they will not think it possible for them to meet in New York The mere mention of such a thing ruffles their tempers It is not likely that a real at tempt will be made to get the men together in New York for the friends of the present bill for the regulation of boxing are using their influence against it To bring such a bout off they say is impossible to attempt it means the loss of what right they have secured to them by the Horton bill Dan Stuart is still In the field and it is probable that If these champions ever meet it will be iii Mexico under the management of Stuart BARRY LOOKING FOR A MATCH Jimmy Barry is still looking for a chance to tackle some one of the bantams who are making so much fuss in the class but while they are up and ready to fly at each other they all keep a respectable distance from the Chicago boy Barry has had himself in fair trim for months waiting anxiously for one of the numerous good little fellows to make a match with him There are plenty of them in his class but none so bold as to enter the ring with him It was thought he might get a chance with the best of the small Englishmen but so far they do not seem disposed to arrangea contest with him Murphy and Anthony have been tried in vain Barry has thrown down the gauntlet and will wait now for someone in his class to come along and pick it up The meeting between Fitzsimmons and Sharkey promises tovbe full of dramatic features for the sailor cman does not like the way the Australian is making fun of his chances Fitzsimmons is" training hard and issuing programmes of the fight in which the sailor is being hookedsand upper cut out of It Sharkey says "Wait and see" Sharkey is mad and when he getst mad he is a bad man He will rush at the Australian his friends say and make? it so Interesting that Fitzsimmons will be kepf Sfr busy protecting his ribs and stomach that he won't have time to do any fancy work While the contest lasts it is likely to belivelyi and the sailor may show the Australian lhe has learned a- trick or two since his last battle OTHER" PUGILISTIC NEWS LEWIS REFUSED A PERMIT New York Nov 28 Warren Lewis presi dent of the Greater New York Athletic club who- has been arranging for a fight between Corbett and Fitzsimmons at Coney island -called on District Attorney "Backus today to secure a permit for the light to take Place Mr Backus refused to grant the permit and said that he would not allow the

fight for the heavy weight championship of the world and authorizied publication of the same in the press of the country He said I am ready to post the entire purse and will do so as soon as Corbett
