CURRENT SPORTING NOTES “Jem” Mace, the ex-champion heavy- weight pugilist, and “Mike” Donovan, for- merly middleweight champion, sparred four dounds at the Broadway Athletic Club house in New York last night. Mace its probally the hero of more ring fights than any other man living. He won the cham- Pionship in 1861 and held it, except for a short time, until 1872. He is now sixty- eight years old, and, although in fine condi- tion for an old man, is naturally not as spry' as he used to be. Prof. Donovan is several years younger than the English- man, and he showed to much better ad- vantage tm the ring, being quicker and having more knowledge of modern ring tacties. John L. Sullivan, the ex-champion, was noticed as he entered the buflding, and was given a hearty reception. He looked «dd, with the side whiskers he had grown re- cently. James J. Corbett was cheered when he.appeared and. looked fit to fight the “battle of his life.” ‘Barney’? Aaron, now sixty years old, and “Dooney” Harris, sixty-six years old, two veterans, were also well received. James J. Corbett and ‘Jim’ MeVey, his sparring partner, gave a three-round cxhi- bition. The tumult that greeted tiie victor of the famous Sullivan-Corbe:t fight was not so great as that which hailed the van- quished. The following also appeared in the ring: Jim Hall, P.

Special Telegram to the Philadelphia Times. CAMBRIDGE, December 14.—It is prob- able that the death-knell of Yale's hopes for a dual league with Harvard in all branches of athletics, to which all athletic contests in which the two may engage shall be subservient, was today sounded by Coach R. C. Lehmann of the Harvard 'Var- sity crew, who in an interview today ov- posed the idea of Harvard's rowing two crews in a year and practically made the possibility of a Yale-Harvard race nil. The situation Is well known, and when Coach Lehmann said that it was impossible for any crew to row two races in one year without at least a month between the two, it is easily seen how his statement affected the Yale-Harvard possibility. Harvard has an agreement to row Cornell this year, which she will live up to, and she must either place all thoughts of another race out of mind or force Yale to admit Cornel! to the Yale-Harvard contest. This Yale is unwilling to do, and there the matter stands. COLLEGE MEN'S QUARRELS. What Prevents a Meeting of Yale, Hurvard and Cornell. A New Haven dispatch says It is understood that representatives of Yale and Harvard athletic interests will meet in New York during the Christmas re- cess. At this meeting Mr. Walter Camp, for Yale, and Dr. Brooks, for Harvard, and possibly other graduates, representatives of the two institutions, will be present as advisors. Arrangements will be completed at this meeting for future athletic meei- ings, and when colleges reopen in January, as soon as the festivities incident to Yale's great social function, the junior promenade, are at an end, the candidates for the ‘var- sity and freshmen’s crews, the base bail nine and the track athietic team will begin active training for meeting with the re- spective teams from Harvard. No difficulay is anticipated in the negotia- tions for base ball, foot ball and track ath- letics, and, aside from minor details, every thing is practically settled so far as thes branches of the inter-university athletics go. In boating matters, however, Cornell enters very lergely into the situation, and this fact may prevent a Yale and Harvard boat race next June. The circumstances surrounding Harvard's position with the Ithacans are already known, and if Yale persists in her refusal to consider the prop- n of a triangular race, Harvard may be compelled to withdraw negotiations va this line. Although the Yale navy manage- ment will not admit, what is thought to be a reflection of their feelings is discernible in che Yale urdergraduate body, and !: is safe to say that Yale does not favor a race with Cornell for the reason that Yale's re- lations bave not been uniformly pleasant in e her athletic deaiings with Cornell. Som re about four years ago, possibly or six. Cornell challenged Yale to a foot ball same. Yale's dates were occupied, but through the m of the newspapers ed, taunted Yale with » and at length came out wiih a challenge in which Yale was offered a big Lenus if she wevld go to Ithaca and li an cpportunity to drag the bl naire. Yale's fect ballists became ang nd teok up the gaurtlet, went to Ithaca end defeated Cornell. At that time Yaie stated that she was through with Cornell, and there seems to be a tendency to continue in this position. It is thus readily seen that with Yale op- posed to contests with Cornell, and Har. vari pledged to row Cornell by virtue of a | two years’ cngagement, with one year to run, the outlook for a satisfactory settle- ment is not cheery. Boating matters, there- fore, will probably occupy the most atten- tion at the coming meeting in New York. If these difficulties can be adjusted nothing seems more certain than the beginning of 1897 will witness preparations for Yale and Horie contests in all branches of ath- etics. THAT SH‘ NSPIRACY, The Fight is Renewed, With Court Room as a fing. ‘Tom Sharkey, looking Httle the worse for his drugging, was tn court in San Francis- co yesterday, when the controversy for the possession of the $10,000 purse was re- newed. Fitzsimmons and Julian attempted to ex- pese the alleged conspiracy against Fitz- simmons, but when Julfan was asked for positive: proof he produced nothing but hearsay testimony. Julian related his ef- forts tg have Lynch ‘join’ him in selecting @ referee, stating that Lynch purposely placed the choice of a referee in the hands of the National Club, which named Earp. Julian said Commissioner Gunst and Riley Grannan had come to him before the fight to tell him “Earp had been fixed.” He quoted Riley Grannan as having over~ heard a conversation between Farp and Joe Harvey, a bookkeeper, in the course of which Harvey sald: “Then it’s all right, {9 it?" to which Earp had replied: “You can depend on me.” Julian’s testimony sought to involve. the National Club, Sharkey, Lynch and Earp in the alleged conspiracy. Fitzsimmons denied he had struck any foul blow, and repeated Julian’s story about the warning not to accept Earp as referee. Dr. D. D. Lustig’s testimony was not much relished by Sharkey. He said he was the medical examiner for the National Club and had examined Sharkey before the fight. After Sharkey had been taken to his room Lustig, with four other doctors, hear- ing Sharkey had been hurt, offered. their services, but they were refused admittance to Shakey's dressing room. On the follow- ing afternoon Dr. Lustig and five other physicians examined Sharkey’s injuries in the groin, and witness pronounced the in- jury ‘superficial. He said it was insignifi- cant, not disabling or productive of much pain: The injuries to the groin might have ‘Deen caused by artificial means, such as the injection of acidulnted water. Dan Hi , one of Fitzsimmons’ sec- onds; W.W. Naughton, a sporting report- the er, and others present at the fight, all testi- fied_that they had seen no foul blow struck Two Bip fiGr Games.

From the New York Bogt. 1 A storm is just as good as a fire though. When the “beach combers’ see ong com- ing acrors the rs,athey pull on their rubber boots ang| oit oD and forth they sally. The first ‘wind’ picks up the light dry sand and blowp it gway in little swirls. That takes off of layer. The “comber” hurries around after tWe swirls and picks up whatever is @Xpose to sight. Layer after layer of sadd ts gemoved, uncovering more and-tnore coins and trinkets for the scavengers of the seashore. On the day of the last erent sterm one man _ picked up $32, which ‘fa*the best day’s work re- membered by any of the.men talked with. This storm-chasifig is ‘pretty hard labor. The men have to run-around from place to place after tae. “blows ofsand,”! and the wind soon begins to lift and throw in big waves whieh, with thestide pour in shore and ¢ovér the beach.’ So profitable is it, however,’that, the combers search till the water is over their boot tops The rost profitable work of all is the hardest. That. is digging around the base of the piles of the iron pier. The pier in summer is a promenade as well as waiting room. Frem it all sorts of thir.gs drop, and, sinking in the water, ate given up by the owner as lost. The comber knows otherwise. He has learned that the ebb and flow of the tide washes little eddy- holes around every pile, and that every- thing that comes. anywhere near these holes is deposited in them. He is aware, moreover, that even heavy objects are borne backward and forward by the waves, and that consequently the chances aré in favor of the pile hole receiving, on some in and out flow of the tide, all things worth recovering. So when the beaches are left by the summer crowds and the hucksters, the combers go out with their big shovels and sieves and dig up the sand in the holes. ‘They say that the finds are of good value and very miscella- neous. M st numerous are the pickings from the surface of the “hard pan” from two to three feet down through the sur- face sand. Upon this hard floor the coins stand on edge in a position to penetrate to the safe regions below. But the comb- er, understanding this, shovels down three or four feet further, and though it is heavy work and exhiusting afterward when the sieve has to be used to release the sand, the patient placer miner makes sure he has reaped the summer harvest before he leaves off his task. There are two rich places which have not Leen explored. ‘One is dcfended by a man and his wife who own the ground. It is @ line of poles set up for the bathing patrons of Gebbard’s, Four years ego a young man went into the water there with two twenty-dollar gold pieces around his neck.. He was about to be married and WaSgsaviug up the money for the event. It was. too precious to be left in the bath house keeper's safe, so he kept it in the lit- tle leather bag at his neck. When he came out of the water the bag and the gold were gone. He wept and cursed and made such a noise about ,his loss that everybody “on Coney” knew of it. The combers were not alone in the search for It, but it was not found during the season, and in the fall the,,winter:men prepared to dig around Gebburd’s lfe-line poles. Gebhard was afraid they would dig up the poles or loosen them, and he forbade them to work there. The police assisted him when they were within call, but whenever they and Gebbard were away down swoop- ¢d the combers to search for the gold. ‘The owner found it necesgary to leave his wife to watch while he was away, and the combers have been kept off ever since. But they mean to haye those double-eagles yet; they know they ‘aré in the pole holes, and Dave Stewart, the pegro: comber,. said yesterday: . “I’se goin’ to have them gold-bugs: if it takes till Gabriel btows.” The other untouched spots are also ‘life- line pplem those ce carried a line from the pier to-ibp Refiic ‘tastrotid.

The Remarkable Journey of Miner Day's Motheriess Infants. From the San Francisco Call. Born within the borders of a land owned by the United States, and yet further away from the center of their own country civil- ization than any other child or children, is the distinction which will follow Joseph and Bernard Day through life. They are two-year-old twins and arrived in Seatile on the steamer Willapa direct from Alaska, and the place of their birth is not the only thing remarkable thus far in their lives, for, with the aid of their father, they made, in order to reach Juneau and make con- nections with the Willapa, a trip of many days, coming from the Yuken mining dis- trict and crossing the grand but dangerous summit by the Chilcat pass. Others mary years their senior have attempted to make that same trip and were never heard of again, but the babes are alive and well, and, while they cannot talk, they hope to some day be able to discuss the trip as it comes to them from the lips of their facher, Day. ‘The story of their birth, of their remark- able trip, and other facts connected with them is one that does not find its way into print very often. U. Day isa miner. He is a big, fine-looking man, and for years before he decided to go to Alaska he work- ed in the silver mines of the east. He vas experienced in his business, and when he made a trip to Alaska four years ago and took a look at the country he made up his mind that he would come back to the United States and get a wife, a bride of a few months, and return to the land of gold. He came back, and his wife, who was at that time living with some well-to- do relatives in a suburb of Minneapolis, Minn., consented to return with him to Alaska. She was not very strong, but had plenty of nerve, and in the spring, with the aid of her husband, she reached the Yukon mining district in safety. Her coming was a great event among the miners. But one or two women had ever been among them, and those had held aloof from the common miners. Mrs. Day took an interest in them and endeav- ored to bring happiness to their lives. Just two years ago she gave birth to twin. boys. They were big and healthy, and had eyes that were black as coal and cheeks as red as apples.- The exact date of their birth was October 13, 1804, and the place Sixty Mile Creek. Never did the coming of any one, not even of the hardy men who carry the mail, create such a furore in the Yukon district. Miners who came down recently say that for three months after the birth of the twins Mr. and received presents from who heard of the new ar- They were the frst children ever born in the Yuron district, and they were petted and caressed and humored as though-they were the children of some great king.’ On June 3 this year Mrs. Day, who had not been well since the birth of the chil- dren, died, and there was general mourning in the camp. < Everybody wondered what would become of the twins. Day told his friends tLat in the fali he would take them io the United States and place them with their mother’s. relatives at Minneapolis. The miners laughed at him, and said that {t would be impossible for him to make the irip until the babies were old enough ‘to walk. . ‘Two months ago Day detided to leave the Uttle ones. The miners July Day started for prides of the Yukon. Before his departure old and hardened miners shed tears and | prayed for the safety of the children. Juneau with the a Day said that if they died he woul] cie with them. They wefe dressed in clothes of heavy woolen cloth, and. strange made the trip te greater strapped on the shoulders He carried them similarly dian women pack their Papooses about. They were a great burden, when the length of the trip is taken into considera- tion, and the further fact that Day had pack of provisions and blankets to carry with him. Day says that at times the weather was very cold, and when- his babies would not even cry he would think that probably they were benumbed by the ccld. Then he would take a peep at them, and they would either be laughing or sleeping. Once he says they amused them- s+Ives all day long playing with his long hair. When night came on to rest, Day would re. from his back, and they arms. “Not once did they ever so much as cry,” says Day. The trip across the summit of the Chil- cat pass was the most severe of all, but the Little ones stood it all right, though Day says they must have suffered some, be- cause he did himself. Several times, in crossing the summit, Day, weak with the long trip and the heavy burden, slipped, and but for the precious ones on his back, he says, he believes he would have given up, sunk down and perished. Their cooing, he says, aroused him and he would strug gle on.
