Preparing for the Mooting of Sharkey and Fiteaimmons, HARVARD AND YALE MAY BE FRIENDS The Successful Meeting at Ben- ning. CURRENT SPORTING NOTES SAN FRANCISCO, November 30.—Yes- terday was doctor’s day at the quarters of Fitzsimmons and Sharkey. The same phy- siclan waited upon both men, and he was there as the represenfative of the National Athletic Club. His object was to tap chests and test lungs and satisfy himself that the men were in sound enough condition generally to bear the brunt of as hard a contest as it is popularly believed Wed- nesday night’s event will prove to be. Fitzsimmons’ normal chest measurement was 39 inches. Under forced exhalation it is 37 3-4 inches and under forced inspiration it measured 44 inches. The only defect in Fitzsimmor.s was a slight attack of co) in the head, which will quickly wear off. Sharkey’s ‘normal chest measurement proved to be 41 inches. With forced exhala- tion it was 303-4 Inches, and with forced inspiration, 44 inches. In addition to being doctor’s day, it was visitors’ day, and the camps of the rival heavy-weights were fairly overrun with people from town. As Sausalito is not with- in as easy reach as Cliff House, Fitzsim- mons did not have as big a crowd hanging about him as did the sailor, but the Cornish man received adulation enough to satisfy the most pompous pugilist. As for Sharkey, whenever he showed himself on the ve- randa of the Seal Rock House the roadway in front immediately became congested. At times there were thousands staring at him. FOREIGN CYCLISTS ARRIVE. They Will Take Part in a Six-Days’ Race. A large delegation of foreign cycle riders arrived at New York from England Sat- urday, comprising the famous Linton broth- ers of Wales, Chappelle, one of the young- est long-distance racers in France; Lums- den, the veteran Scotch racer, and a coterie of pacers. The men will train in New York for the six-day race, which will start De- cember 7 at Madison Square Garden. After that event they will tour the country. Linton holds the hour world’s record as ¥ell as the world’s ten-mile record, which was recently made in London. Tom Linton’s countryman, James Mi- chael, the diminutive Welshman, who is now in America, is one of his greatest ri- vels, and for some time there has been an effort made to match these two men. Mi- chael is expected to arrive in New York in a few days, when a race will probably be arranged. Tom Linton has authorized a match with Michael or with John S. Johnson. With Michael he prefers a ten-mile race, with pacemakers, and with Johnson he would be willing to ride efther one or five miles. Jonnson is suspended from the league at present. Eddie A. McDuffie, the Boston racer, re- turned from a brief European visit. He has challenged Monte Scott for a twenty-five- mile race, to take place this winter. YALE TO MOVE FIRST. Students to Meet Tonight to Discuss Reconciliation With Harvard. NEW HAVEN, Conn., November 30.— Yale will tonight take the first public step in the negotiations which have been. in progress for some weeks looking toward a renewal of athletic relations between Yale and Harvard. The undergraduate body will assemble in Alumni Hall in response to a call issued by the presidents of the four athletic associations of the university. At this meeting a statement will be made outlining the policy upon which the asso- clations have started and will ask the university for a “vote of confidence.” In other words, the students of Yale will be asked to confer upon the managers of these associations the power to proceed with the negotiations in the manner which seems to them to be most expedient and most certain for the securing of a new agreement, calculated to provide for Yale- Harvard athletic contests under conditions which will avoid breaches similar to the one which followed the foot ball contest at Springfield two years ago. It has been reported variously that an agreement has already been signed, but the Yale manage- ments deny this. The situation up to date is as follows: About six weeks ago several Harvard and Yale graduates gathered at the Uni- versity Club in New York and in an in- formal way discussed the situation. This paved the way for q meeting held three weeks ago between the various Yale man- agements and a similar delegaticn in Har- vard University. At this meeting it was decided that Yale should take first steps and submit a proposition to her student body. This proposition will be made at tonight’s meeting. At Yale, although the managements refuse to acknowledge their cognizance of it, it Is understood that a similar Harvard meeting will be held Tues- day night, to take action. At all events, the New Haven university will set the ball rolling tonight. If things proceed smooth- ly “at the meeting, the presidents of the four athletic organizations at Yale will confer with Walter Camp, Yale's most prominent athletic adviser, and to him will be left the question involving the form of an agreement to be submitted for Har- vard’s approval. Mr. Camp and the vice presidents refuse to discuss the matter in its present condi- tion further than to say that it is confi- dently hoped that Yale and Harvard will get together. A SUCCESSFUL MEETING. The Washington Jockey Club En- couraged by the Recent Racing. The fall meeting of the Washington Jockey Club, which closed Saturday after- noon, will be remembered as one of the most successful race meetings held in this locality for many years. Not only was the racing of the highest character, but so was the attendance, the absence of the tout, the pikers, and others of that kind being particularly noticeable. There were no scandals or jobs, the rules being firmly and impartially enforced, ai the very best of order prevailing at all times. Not only was the meeting a success in a racing point of view, but also financially. Hence, the club feels very much encouraged, and will redouble its efforts to make its meeting next spring as great a success. At that meeting it is probable that the only stake events will be those for two-year-olds, of which there will likely be several. The meeting will commence, 'it is expected, the latter part of April’ The racing Saturday was excellent, al- though the day’s sport was marred by two acciderits in the last race, a three-mile steeplechase. But four horses started, De- capod, Chandler up, being the 3 to 5 favor- ite, beating De Garnette, the 6 to 5 second choice, Mr. Nicholas riding, by several lengths. Sir Roderick, Donnelly up, fell at the seventh j\mp, his rider being badly stunned. The herse. went on, taking sev- eral jumps without a rider, and on the sec- ond time over the same jump Southerner, Dunlap riding, fell and broke his back, his destruction being necessary. Dunlap was ee! shaken up, but escaped serious in- "Brisk, the 9 to 10 favorite, Hirsch riding, won the third race, at six furlongs, Harrington, at 6 to 1, being second, and The Swain, at 2 to 1, third. Sun Up, at 15 to 1, won the fourth race at a mile and a sixteenth,Coyle ridin; Find Out, at 4 to 1, being second, and Sir ee ir, at 6 to 5, the favorite, being re As stated in The Star, Emotional, at 20 to 1, ridden by little O'Connor, won the first race, and L. B., at 7 to 2, Harrison riding, taking the second. DANGERS OF FOOT BALL. Four Players Killed Injured. In the past foot ball season 125 men d 121 Others ‘were more or less seriously hurt in foot ball. Of the four who met death in the game, two were boys, one but fifteen years of age. The boy was young Bowles of Louisville, Ky., who died from appendicitis, caused by a kick received in a game. Thursday Walter L. Rhue was killed in Brooklyn. The most peculiar accident of the year was that received by James Shutts of Dayton, Ohio. Shutts received the injury while tackling a Dayton man, who was coming through the line and when every- thing depended upon Shutts, who was @ weakly built man. His head came in con- tact with his oppcnent’s knee. As nearly as can be ascertained the cervical atlas, at the top part of the spinal column, on which the skull rests, was doubly fractur- ed, two of the posterior projections being broken off and a fracture extending clear a the spinal column and up into the ul Bert Serf of Nebraska was killed in a mass play. He was picked up after a scrimmage unconscious and died from con- cussion of the brain. A list of the accidents follows: Number killed... rol Ankles sprained. Shoulders dislocate Other dislocations. Miscellaneous accidents.. Total injured-. ‘Will Settle Von der Ahe’s Case. Messrs. Robinson and Soden have been appointed referees in the Pendleton Park case, for Von der Ahe, against the Amer- ican Association clubs, for damages over the old “‘Kelley’s killers.” They expect to hear testimony this week. This is the case over which Messrs. Wagner and Von der Ahe heve had a dispute for several years, owing to the obligations of the Washing- ton Asscciatton Club, which the Wagners claimed they did not undertake. All-the-Year Racing in Maryland. It is the purpose of the racing people to put in a full year in 1897 at racing in Cecil county, Md. They have announced that New Year day the Barksdale track will open. This will be followed by the three tracks at Iron Hill for a period of ninety days, and then Singerly for thirty days and Eikton for thirty days more. The tracks already constructed will afford racing un- til in the fall. Iron Hill is going now, Sin- gerly having just closed. International Foot Ball. Princeton has declined to meet Ottawa College, champions of Canada, in an inter- naticral fcot ball game this season. Cap- tain Glerson of the Ottawa Club said: “The arswer that we received from the Princeton Club was very friendly, and it acded that Princeton will be pleased to make arrangements for instituting next seascn an international match.” Coaching Harvard Onrsmen. The Harvard oarsmen, under the eye of their new English coach, Lehmann, had their first trial spin against time Saturday on Charles river. “Good, level rowing,” was Lebreun’s characterization of the work. The noticeable feature of the new stroke is the extreme body reach and the hard, quick catch on which the men's bodies Uft up perceptibly. A Fine Athi Club House. The corner stone of the new building of the New York Athletic Club, corner of 6th avenue and 59th street, New York, was laid Saturday. The steel skeleton of the nine-stery building is already up to half of the full height, but the masonry above the foundation is yet to be constructed. The building will be one of the finest athletic club houses in this country. Foot Ball and Pugilism. The Kansas City Times states that at the ceming session of the legislature an at- tempt will be made to pass a law putting the game of foot ball on the same plane as prize fighting, which is a felony in Mis- souri. Represent: Crisp, who is men- tloned as a candi@ate for speaker of the house, will introduce the bill, and Senator O. G. Young declares that if such a law is not enacted he will favor a repeal of the law against prize fighting. Hartford Franchise Seld. The Hartford base ball team of the At- lantic League was sold Saturday by Man- ager Wm. Barnie, now of the Brooklyn National League team. The purchasers are a syndicate, with Col. L. W. D. Woods of Hartford, at the head. Fvot Ball Notes. The Woodleys and Columbia Academy foot ball teams played a game Thanksgiv- ing morning, the former winning—-18 to 0. The ball was within a foot of Columbia's goal line when time was called. The feat- ure of the game was the playing of Chip- man and Newton for the Woodleys and Woodward and Hopkins for the Columbias. The Little Rock foot ball team has played nine games and lost none. The team com- A. prises T. Griffin, H. Numan, T. Moony, Swan, W. Bennett (manager), Du Bois, Carter, W. Davidson, W. Thompson, Bristoe, C. R. Ellis*(captain). Close Whist Contest. The second whist match in the series be- tween the Columbia Athletic Club and Cap- ital Bicycle Club was played Friday even- ing at the club house of the former, and re- sulted in a victory for the C. Bi. C.’s by cne trick. The teams representing the two clubs were as follows: C. A. C.—Taliaferro, Wooten, Safford and Hampton, C. Bi, C.—Carr, Low, Barrick and Quack- enbush. Dr, Walls was unable to play with the C. A. C's, having been called out of town by @ patient. The match consisted of three rounds of ten deals each. In the first round the Co- lumbias gained two tricks, but in the sec- ond round the C. BI. C.'s recovered the ground lost, and entered on the last round one trick ahead. Neither side was able to gain any in the last round. The match was very interesting, and was watched by sev- eral spectators. The scoré of the match by rounds is as follows: apie a First round.. 0 0 1000000 2- 3 1101011000-. Second roumdo0 0011102106 .. 0100001001-..
