NEW YORK. Dec. 7.— James J.

Corbett will issue a statement over

his signature in a few days setting \u25a0

forth his position pu'gilistically. He

outlined this statement today: -. vf";"My sympathies tire heartily with

Maher in his match with Fitzsim-mons," he said. . "I hope he'll beatthat Australian's brains out. But ifhe does not, I'll make Fitzsimmonslight for any amount of money hepleases, or for a shoe string. I'llshow that fellow. up before I getthrough with him.'.',-

"But in case Fitzsimmons loses,what about Maher?" said the re-porter. \u25a0

"I intend to let Maher alone un-less he makes cracks at me. In thatcase I'll have to call him, that's all.I don't care to enter the ring again,

but I won't allow. any one to makeany bluffs in my direction."

"WANTED EVERY DOLLAR]

Scheme of a Turfman to Reap aRich Harvest.

ST. LOUIS, Mo.. Dec. 7—Last month11. E. ("Curly") Brown, a well knownCalifornia horseman, and Clem Creve-ling. equally well known in turf cir-cles, had several encounters in thiscity, In which the shedding of bloodwas narrowly averted.

At that time Creveling. who was one

lofthe judges at the race meeting in

Kansas City last summer, made seri-ous charges against Brown, who actedas staiter on the same track. Tomor-row the Republic will contain thestatement that H. E. Brown has for-warded to Secretary E. C. Hooper, ofthe board of appeals of the Americanturf congress, a sworn affidavit 'con-taining serious charges against Creve-ling in his capacity of judge. The affi-davit closes with the following: "Amatter which should come under yourjurisdiction is the following preposi-tion made to me by Clem Crevelingpersonally. His proposition was this:That he was interested with a book-maker who had several books at thetrack, and they desired me to enterinto a combination with them, the ob-ject being to have the judge, starterand bookmaker in one federation, bywhich, he said, 'we can get every dol-lar which comes on the track.' As anearnest of good faith he offered tojrive me $1,000 to bind the bargain. I

refused his proposition and stated Iwould expose him and thereby causehis being ruled off."

Comiskey expects to further strength-en his Held by the addition of two new

-men from the same league. As hestate when la- here he is determinedto strengthen his pitching talent, forthe eomkig season, ami is now negotiat-ing, for one of the crack twirlers in theWestern Uauge last year. Should Hou-lihan, who is still on the reserve listof the team, be able to don his uni-form, he will be played at short. Thebig shortstop was seen last week at

his home in Kansas City and says his.ankle is getting on nicely, and he

sites to play next season.Messrs. : Comiskey. Manning and

Goodnow, the committee appointed bythe -league to canvass the situation atOmaha, will leave for that place somelime this week. -

The Western league passed a retali-ating resolution, introduced by Charlie

. Comiskey. . preventing the Nationalthe Western and then farming theman out to another _Westernleague -team. Under its'-" terms,when the National league draftsa player hereafter and wishes to lendhim. the club from which he is takenwill have first call on the man's serv-ice. A measure calculated to abolishthe farming out system by refusing toaccept players under it would havebeen better. "

As a result of the recent Westernleague meeting the queston of circuitin this section is .considerably mud-dled. If a Western league team rlsplanted in Omaha, the Western asso-ciation franchise given to that citywill have to be transferred. Both Du-buque and Burlington are still hopefulof getting recognition from the West-ern association, and neither will joinanother organization -until certain thatthis chance is gone. It is among thepossibilities that Toledo will" lie"iyet-taken in the Western league and thusdo away with all complications.

The Western league magnates madeno mistake in awarding, the Columbusfranchise to Tom Loftus. . This pop-ular and experienced manager will de-vote his best energies toward givingthe Ohio city a team worthy of itspatronage.

\u25a0\u25a0 AMONG THE BOWLERS.-^'1

'

American Game tiuiniiigin Popu-larity in St. Paul. ;;

The American game of ten pins israpidly gaining popularity in St. Paul,and nearly all the bowlers at Foley'.*use the new style of counting and fin-ger balls, while the bowlers in otherparts of the city may make the changelater. Those who have made the

change wonder now how they stuck to

the old-fashioned game so long. TheAmerican game is now played in allthe leading cities from here to theEastern coast and each ci'j' has itscrack teams, which are practicing witha view to meeting the crack bowlersof the Linden Groves of Brooklyn.

The exciting sport has taken quite ahold of the better element of sports-men, and the Eastern press is devotingmuch space to accounts of contestswith the ball and pin. The reportswould seem to show that the Plazoclub, of Chicago, is at present doingthe best work in practice and matchgames. This organization is puttingup a powerful game, often toppingwith its six bowlers the 1,200 mark,while rarely -falling below a total of1,000 It will be remembered that thisis! the club with which the Foley Starsattemptec! to get on a series of matcheslast winter, when negotiations fellthrough owing to the fact that the Chi-cago men were ignorant of the gamewhich was being played in St. Paul atthat time. When the local teams be-come proficient it will be safe to pre-sume that they will be able, as theyalways have in the past, to give agood account of themselves in contestswith visiting bowlers. ,\u0084- ..: \u25a0/. .

EIGHT OR TEX CLUBS 'HAVE AL-READY" BEEN ORGANIZEII

FOR THE SEASON.

TEAM GOIXG TO DILITH.

Contest This Winter "Will Prob-ably He Better Than Those .

of Former Years,

For several years, the Henriettaand Summit clubs have kept alivethe polo interests of the city, andnow, with, the carnival in. view andthe increasing enthusiasm in wintersports,- their efforts in promotingthe game are about to be crownedwith success. Never before has theinterest in this game been so gen-eral as at present. In past yearsthere has been an occasional contestbetween the local teams, but thisseason the lovers of polo will haveabundant opportunities of witness-ing this exciting game.

Up to date . the following clubshave organized: Henrietta, Summit,Young Bachelors, Central High

•School, Carnival City and CompaniesC, E and H; also Battery A, of thenational guard.

The Carnival City club, under themanagement of Ed Murphy, is an or-ganization made up of the best play-ers in the city, whose main object willbe to wrest the championship fromthe Duluth Polo club, and keep thehonor in St. Paul. It was the.in-tention of Mr. Murphy, to take histeam to the Zenith City on Wednes-day of this week for several prelim-inary games, preparatory to a tour-nament which was proposed for theholidays, but owing to this being thebusy season, some of the team willnot be able to leave their business.Consequently, while the. club willcontinue its practice, the date of theDuluth tournament will not be fixeduntil after the holidays..

; _ The plan of the militia clubs, in ad-dition to the participating in thecarnival, is to contest for the North-west national guards' championship.To this end, efforts which are meet-ing with considerable success havebeen directed towards organizing aclub among the Minneapolis militia-men. Interest is added to this con-test by the promise of the Aurorarink management to hang up a suit-able trophy for the victorious com-pany.

Most of the St. Paul polo clubs arecomposed of men with considerableexperience in the game, and it is safeto say that the contests of the win-ter will furnish interest and excite-ment to those who witness them.

For those who do not approve ofthe seeming rough element whichenters into polo, there will be themore scientific game of hockey. Thegame is extensively played in Can-ada, and is a standard winter sportthroughout the dominion. There area number of Canadians in St. Paulwho would like to see the game in-troduced here; and as the carnivalwill offer an opportunity for itspatronage, some of them have in-terested themselves in organizing aclub. The game differs from polo inthat the players are restricted byrules from indiscriminate rushingand bucking. The sticks, grounds,goals and number of players areabout the same as in polo, but inits government the game bears acloser resemblance to football, asthe players are. by virtue of the posi-tion of the "block," off-side, aheadof the ball, or guiltyof unfair tactics,as the case may be. Should the or-ganization of a hockey -club provesuccessful it is probable that gameswill be arranged with some of theCanadian teams to take place in St.Paul.

CURLERS ARE BUSY

Preparing for ihe Two Bis Bon-spiels.

The activity in curling circles, at-tested by the nightlygames at the St.Paul Curling club's rinks on Raspber-ry island, augurs well for the patron-age of the great Scottish game in St.Paul this winter. The club has electedits officers for the present season, andis receiving new members at everymeeting. The most extensive projectwhich the club has on hand at pres-.

-ent Is the arrangements for a grand;bonspiel, to take place during the car-nival. The big bonspiel will take placeat Duluth during the week previous toSt. Paul's carnival of winter sports,and as curlers, will be in attendancefrom all over the country, an effortwill be made to bring as many rinks aspossible to St. Paul. Aside from sev-eral medals, which have never beforebeen contested for, the association willcontribute prizes which it is hoped willprove an extra attraction to the visit-;ing .curlers, aside from the pleas-

; ure to he gotten out of the sport.The .St. Paul club will.send at least

six rinks to the Duluth bonspiel, eachmember of which will be constituteda committee to secure entrances forthe meet to be held in this city thefollowing week. -.':'

From now on the Saintly City curl-ers will direct "all of their energiestowards, developing the best materialof the club for. the Duluth bonspiel.The club house will\be open everyafternoon and evening to enable prac-tice to progress as rapidly as possible,and the rinks kept in the best of con-dition.

Saturday evening of this week theannual "point" contest" will takeplace. These games are participatedin by all members of the club, irre-spective of age or previous, conditionof excellence, in the science of thesport. A handicapping committee hasbeen appointed to adjust matters sothat the younger members may bemore equal to the occasion. Thesehandicaps will govern all club gamesduring the season.

The Minnesota Athletic club, a neworganization, formally opened its doorsyesterday. ' b^>'f£-'lv£-.,:

The gymnasium, 70x80, is situated inthe Drake block, on Third street, and isreplete with- new apparatus of thelatest pattern. There are also bathrooms, in which members may be ac-commodated with Turkish, vapor,steam or shower - baths. Henry C.Bork, captain of Company E, is thebusiness manager of the new organi-zation, which - numbers seventy-fivecharter members. The gymnasium hastwo features which will commend itto the athletes of the city, in a twenty-lap running track' and -a regulationhand ball court, both of- which are soarranged as not to interfere in the leastwith the . gymnasium proper. The ap-paratus will be at the disposal of themembers on week days from 8 a, m. to+- p. m., and on Sundays from 9 a. m.to 1 p. m. It is the intention of theclub to give a series of exhibitions thiswinter, consisting of hand ball match-es, running races, fencing bouts, -etc.Being a strictly amateur organizationnone but members will engage in thecontests. • . ••:'.'\u25a0 \u25a0-\u25a0x -:. •« \u25a0 : :V~r>:-:.• ROUGH ON RABBITS.

The first regular hunt of the Rab-bit club this year was started lastnight atLindstrum on the St. Paul& Duluth road. The word started isused advisedly, for the meeting will; probably not adjourn until some

I; time this evening when taps are! sounded. Great preparations havebeen made for the -event. The in-

itiating apparatus has been taken[down from its secrecy and burnished|up for the occasion. By the timethe citizens of St. Paul read their•Globe this morning it will be safejto predict that the Rabbit club has

|regularly elected several new Rab-bits. . : ../';.: .j Then there is . the hunt arrangedfor today. While the members do'not believe in obtruding upon, the[public the details of their recreation,it is suspected that the hunt will

Young: Harrison mid Foley Jr.Will Play Each Day This '"''"

Week,

After all that has been said andpromised in the way of tournamentand matches by the powers that be,a short-stop tournament at Chicago, 'commencing Jan. 18 next is the out- jcome, and a happy one, as the play- |ers, six in number, headed by theprince of players and true sports- jman, T. J. Gallagher, are all of them jmen who have the true interests ofIthe gentleman's game at heart. Their 'highest aim is not the, main chance Jof getting the greedy dollar, as is jthe case with too many professionals! :of the present day. The entries are ,as they now stand: T. J. Gallagher, ;

Chicago; Edward McLaughlin, Phil- Iadelphia; W. F. Hatley, Duluth; jFrank Maggioli, St. Louis; G. W." ISutton and Joseph Capron, of Can- !ada. A grand struggle for supre- jmacy between the six should be theresult. Gallagher ought to be first, I, Hatley and McLaughlin should have •

| the best of it for the next two places, J{ with the two Canadians and the St. Ij Louis entry having a hard fight for ;

• fourth place, although Sutton is well| under cover, and might make a '

{ good race with Gallagher for the .'j first place. He is the dark horse in 'J the race, and may prove a cracker- '| jack before the battles are lost and ,won. \u25a0 j

There has been some surprise ex- jpressed as to why the young St. Paul 'player, Harrison, was not an entry, !

and letters have been received by :Mr. Foley asking that question.- The

i fact is, Harrison has not been sin '

I the best of health lately, and conse- Iquently has done little or no prac- 'tice work, with the 'result that his

I game is not as strong as when heI first came to St. Paul. This is to bei regretted, for the admirers of the

' gentlemen's game in St. Paul hadreason to expect that they wouldbe represented In any short-stoptournament that might be given thiswinter. "Harrison will not—if hishealth doesn't get better and a won-derful ' change take place in ' his In-clination to do his practice work— .

i in condition to successfully take part1 in any short-stop tournaments for, some years to come. Every lover ofj billiards in this city regrets that this I

i state of affairs exist. To change itthe remedy is with Harrison alone.

' .- . * * *John Creahan, billiard editor of the [

Philadelphia Sporting Life, the greatest Iorgan of base ball and billiards in jthis country, has this to say in the last jIssue of that paper concerning th? hiring jof experts by the greatest billiardhouse, in .the world: He (the head of jthe house in question) can well affordto manage his business \ legitimately !and in the interest of room"keepers and jexperts alike. '< This, however, cannot ibe done by hiring experts. This has jbeen test for more than half a gen-!eration past in the Interest of experts, jbut at the expense of the room keepers, jThe room keepers of this country who jare the bone and sinew of the business •will more than aid and support the gen- jtleman in his reform if he keeps it up. jIf not, it is as certain as that night fol- !lows day, that the room keepers of thiscountry will give him and all othermanufacturers' to understand, if they ;

have not done so already, that the hir- jIng of experts is something which will Inot be tolerated. ]

* • •Creaham also gives the following as i

the proper course to be followed by '.professionals: Billiard experts have <their mission in the business just as !room keepers and manufacturers have, ;although it is in a measure different, iand is their prerogative. They should *be left entirely free to enter all tourna- Imeats, if they feel so disposed, to play Jcontests when they so desire, and tomanage rooms when they are not room- jkeepers. If experts cannot make aliving from such a source, which is jquite as profitable as manufacturingtables or keeping a room, then they Iare a failure in their chosen profession, Jand have no right to exist at the ex- jpense of the manufacturers the room lkeepers of this country.

i ?n -niXKEY FOR COACH.

Skl-u->lith After the Great Yule;,»-'- Football Lender.;

At the meeting of the advisory boardof the Minnesota University Footballassociation yesterday afternoon Man- ;ager Van Sant announced that there '"Was $4,072.88 on hand in the football jtreasury, besides $562.50 of unpaid sub- Iscriptlons, all of which are good. This \is a remarkable . showing . for . the Lfinance* of the association and will J.cause an innovation in all kinds of ath- |letics at the university.. .Something i

over half of this amount was givento the association by the business menof the city.

The matter of a coach for next yearcame up for consideration, and aftersome discussion the board decided tooffer ex-Capt. Hinkey, of Yale, $1,000for his services next year, and it ishighly probable that the man who didthe greater share of the coaching forYale this season will take Hefi'eltinger'splace, as this is the big guard's lastyear at coaching. Heffelringer con-siders the following five men the bestcoaches in the country, and their abil-

I ity as in the order named: Hinkey,[Butterworth, Thorne. Graves and Bliss.In case Hinkey cannot be procuredeither Thorne or Butterworth willcoach the Minnesota taem next year.

Heffelflnger has also promised to de-vote his services as much as possiblein getting the line into shape.

It was voted by the board to give$300 fora trainer of the track team nextspring. "Dad" Moulton will undoubt-edly be procured to get the team In con-dition to make a respectable showingin the Western college games in June.

The base ball 'team will not be al-lowed to go outside the state to playany -game.- Heretofore the base ballteam has been a dead loss to the as-sociation by making unprofitable andexpensive trips, and the team will belimited this year in its usual methodof spending money. One hundred dol-lars were voted to give the team astart. • \u25a0-• \u25a0\u25a0\u25a0

The advisory- .board declared them'selves as against any form of profes-sionalism in any branch of athleticsand every attempt to use "ringers" willget a black eye by the board. }i
