Originally it was intended to have only a half dozen tracks in the preposed circuit, but the demand has been so large that, a great increase in the circuit is contem- plated. It will probably be composed of the following tracks: Manhattan Beach, New York; Willow Grove Park, Philadelphia; Hampden Park, Springfield, Mass.; Chester Park, Cincinnati; Fountain Ferry Park, Louisville; Atlanta Park, Columbus, Ohio; Buffalo Park, and parks in Manchester, N.

Justice, and ac- celerated by failure of the heart, and we exonerate from all blame the said club, Thomas O'Rourke, manager; Richard Roche, referee, and George W. Justice, principal. We recommend that all regu- tarly organized clubs or institutions be compelled by law to have a reputable and competent physician or surgeon on hand, to examine all would-be participants in proposed boxing exhibitions.” Hand Ball Championship Tournament ¥| The first amateur hand ball championship tcurnament in the United States began yesterday at Jersey City. The Amateur Athletic Union offered three medals, gold, silver and bronze, to the first three men at the finish. There were six entries, among them being Napoleon Lavote of St. Roch, Quebec, and his entry gave the contest an international tone. ‘The Canadian drew against J. Fitzpatrick of the Manhattan Ville Hand Ball Club and defeated him. Mike Eagan of the Jersey City Hand Ball Club defeated Dan Me- Carthy of the Harriscn Hand Ball Club. W. Schmidt of the Brooklyn Hand Bali Club defeated James J. Flaherty of the Jersey City Hand Ball Club, ‘In the finals tomorrow Lavoie and Eagan will play the first game; Schmidt will play off the tie with some well-known player, and then meet the winner of the first game in the final. From the form shown by Eagan and Schmidt yesterday, it looks as if the Cana- dian had no chance against the former; but in case he should win his trial there is scarcely a chance for him against the won- derful work of Schmidt. Bowling. The bowling games scheduled at Carroll Institute for toright between the Carroll Institute and Washington Athletic Club have been postponed till next Tuesday. The Carroll Institute bowling team, ac- companied by a number of the members of the institute, will go over to Baltimore to- morrow evening and play a return set of games with the Catholic Club of that city.
