Charles Kid McCoy is the au- thority for this statement, or at least he is being quoted as saying so. The man he has in mind is Henry Elion- sky, the famous long distance swim- 4 mer. ' For some time McCoy has been coaching Henry in the finer points of boxing and says that the husky young swimmer should wmake a corking good man in a long distance battle. Elionsky will never make a clever boxer, but ghouuld make a good slugger. has a heavy wallop, can assimilate punishment and has won- derful lung capacity. Elionsky has also taken up wrestling, now it would take a good class man to throw him. Henry likes the mat same and may take it up instead of the art of fisticuffs. Elionsky is not going to give up the swimming game right away, but intends to engage in a number of long distance races this summer and hopes to establish some, Yale has been awarded the annual New England intercollegiate wrestling meet for next winter.

M: is of the Red and Blue team in the heavy- weight division. . i Jack McNuity, the hill favorite, ex- perienced little difficulty in outpoint- ing Harry Williams, the down-town ; pride .in the star bout of twelve rounds before the Royal A. C. in New Haven last night. Fighting a cool, careful and deliberate battle, the hill- boy literally jabbed the Itaian to pleces, leaving no doubt in the eyves of ringsiders as to which was the bet- ter boy. Williams, though outweighed by eight pounds or more, put up a; stubborn battle throughout but was unable to cope with the cleverer Mc- Nulty who had everything his own way in a madority of the rounds. When Owner Weeghman of the! Cubs recently notified Jimmy Archer, the once famous catcher, that he could arrange to trade himself to some other National league ciub the latter was delighted. Weeghman had reduced his salary from $7,000 to $4,000, in view of his poor work last vear. Archer promptly began to dick- er with several clubs, offering to sign with them for $5.000. But, to his amazement, the best proposition he eccived was $3,000 from the Brook- Jvns, which he refused point blank. Archer, therefore; will have to come down to brass tacks or spepd the sea- i son in idleness. : He will¥not go to a minor league, he says. He'll go to work first.
