Maloney Wins Amateur Marathon Time Was Slow--Crowley Second, Hatch of Chicago Third--Murphy Has Eest of Bout with Madden. New York, Jan. 8.—Matthew Malon- ey of the Trinity A. C., Brooklyn, won the amateur indoor Marathon race at Madion Square Garden tonight from 31 other competitors, in handy fashion. Maloney, who ran strongly throughout the race. won practically by himself. He was four laps, or nearly half a mile, ahead of James F. Crowley, the New York Marathon winner. Sidney H. Hatch of Chicago, who always finishes trongly in these distance races, did o again tonight, and took third place from Sam Mellor, the veteran Yonkers who ser the pace for 15 miles. v's time was 2.54.45 2-5, which slow. It was probably due to the fact that the track was soft, and for the last fi miles of the race thert was no man strong enough to push the winner. Maloney, who has been in this coun- try only about three year came into prominence the day after Christmas by winning the Rye to Manhattan Mara- thon in the remarkable time of 2.36 Crowley lost time and dis- tance toward the end of the race owing to trouble with his shoes.

Jeffries Returns Decided Answer About Re-entering Ring at Present. Denver, Jan, he following tele- gram was recéived today by the sport- ing editor of the Denver Times from James J. Jeffries in response to a message asking the former champion under what conditions he would re- enter the rinz to fight Jack Johnson for the championship: “Would not think of re-entering the under ring at present 1v condition.” For the present, at least, this ap- parently disposes of the reported of- fer of $100.000 made by a number Mazuma, Nevada, men for a fight be tween Johnson and Jeffries for the championship.

World’s Champion Started ked Five Men for $5. To Mark Shaughnessey of California < given the credit of Jaunching Jack Johnson into the boxing game twelv ears ago, The new champion has seen je hard times and “traveled som: rocky roads, but has gained the zeniin of the pugilistic ladder. When a younz fellow he took care of horses. He drifted from his home in_Galveston to a small town in Tilinois. Shaughnessey was training there at the time to box “Reddy” Brennan. One day Johnson appeared the training camp. He was bright looking, stood 5 feet 11 3-4 ches fall, and weighed 110 pouncs stripped. Johnson had quit his_employer and was in need of money. When asked if he had ever dome any boxing, John- son said that he had not but woul like to learn. Shauginessey took him in hand and he took to the game as a duck does to water und in two days he couid use a straight left and right cross. Shaughnessey put him against several 115 pound boys and he won. Johnsen took cn weight so rapidly that he was soon a middleweigit. Later he drifted into Springfield, O., where the game was going good, and what the late George Siler saw John- son do there made the veteran referee pick him out as a comer. It was in a battle royal that Siler saw him in ac- tion. Five of the negroes in this par ticular battle were aequainted. John- son being the stranger. He had lande:l in the place that afternoon, broke and hungry. Hunting up one of the pro- moters, e told his tale, saying that he was a boxer of merit, but could get no matches and consequently was down and out. He wanted to know if by any chance he could appear thut night against anyone it only for a feed. The promoter looked him over and saw that the big bruiser really was in need of nourishment and he took him into a nearby saloon and sent him at the free lunch, As the banquet pro- gressed the promoter told his charge that if he could fight as well at he ate he would he champion some day. As the black fellow showed a great anxiety to get into a fight after the meal as before, the promoter thought it would be worth while to try him out, and Jack was named as one of the six for the battle royal. He was weak and in poor condition when he went into the ring that night, and, be- sides, the other five blacks combined against the stranger. The whole bunch made a yush at Jack when the bell rang, and Siler said that at first he was sorry for the friendless negro. But his sympathy soom changed into ad- miration. Johnson lashed cut with his left and caught hie foremost opponent flush on the jaw, dropping him in his tracks The next got a right swing on_the jaw and he also fell, and then Jack backed up into a corner to await the other three, who were given some pause by the fate that had overtaken, or, rather, had come to meet their two leaders. In a moment a third bla urged on by his comrades and the spec- tators, went to the attack. Johnson stepped forth to meet him and, feinc- ing with his left to the body, drew down his opponent's guard and then whipped over the right like a flash, with the result that a third negro was hauled out of the ring. And by the time the attendants had lugged the fallen boxer away the other two op- ponents of Johnson had made up their minds that the big_stranger was bad medicine, or a v00doo man, or some- thing, for they jumped the ropes and amid the howls of the spectators left Jack the victor and owner of the purse —3$5. Shortly after that Jolmson went to Chicago, but found things in poor con- dition for a negro fighter. This was the lowest ebb of his career as a boxer, He got a few unimportant bouts and his money ran Jow. He supported him- self as best he could and the free lunch suffered in proportion as his for- tunes ebbed. At ome time he had gati- ered the immense sum of a dime and went forth in search of a place where he could get the largest amount for his money. At length he found a place on Clark street where, upon the pur- chase of a glass of milk, one could have as much bread as desired. Jack bought the milk and then marched over to where the plle of bread was highest ced that Here he intended to get a fi would last him for a day at least. But he forgot to guard the milk. While procuring his bread some other hungry numan without the necessary five cents had pounced upon the unguarded milk, and when the big negro returned with the dry bread there was no milk to wash it down. Jack said that was the nearest approach to a knockout he ever received CONNECTICUT LEAGUE CIRCUIT UNCHANGED. Stick for 1909—Some New Managers. meeting of the Con- necticut league of baseball clubs is to be called, and among the important things to come up at this meeting is the consideration of 5 new constitu- tion, Secretary O'Rourke has complet- ed a draft of a new one, embodying several important changes. He will ubmit this draft to his associates on the committee named to revise the or- ganic law and if it is acceptable it wiil reported to the league direc- tors, One year ago when the league held its meeting it had an important eircuit change to consider. Norwich agd New London were to retire and Mer den and New Britain were to come in. There are nosigns of circuit changes this year, and Secretary O'Rourke said he had not heard of any rumors. The genera] opinion is that the league will stand pat on its circuit for at least another season. lthough there is gn absence of cuit shifting, there is going to be some marked changes in club management, and possibly in club ownership. Spraingfield is sald to see prospects of a change. Dan O'Neil holds $1,000 as an option, it is said, from Worcester parties, But there are some lions in the way of carrying out the deal. Hitches over the park lease and of cash payments are quite strong and may block the deal. Hartford will have a new manager, the redoubtable Dowd retiring. and First Baseman Connery coming to the front. New Haven may have some shifts and Hol- have a new field director, Mike McCormick, who was shville last season, but jumped use of climatic effec Nashville ather willing to forget and forgive if a proper deal can be made. M'VEY’S YARNS. Has Frenchmen Believing He Can Lick the World. Clubs Will Before long a be ibl am McVey, the negro heavywelght who knocked = a Jap jiuj-itsu expert cold with one punch in Paris the other night, has been telling Frenchmen some wonderful yarns about his ring achievements in this eountry and as the French newspapers never have printed much about American pr fights McVdy's statements have been accepted as gospel. McVey succeeded so well with his first yarns that he has now gome into details in sayin-~ how he has knocked out Jeffries, Cor- bett, Fitzsimmons, MoCoy, Sharkey, Maher, Choynski and Johnson and has Qeclared with remarkable assurance that he is the undisputed champion of ihe world, As a result, whenever Mc- Vey shows in the ring on the other side there s greaf excitement and a jarge crowd. MeVey, who lsils from Californis, has met Johnson twice, losing one 20- pund mill on & decision: and heing cked out in the twentisth round tier bout. The racerds de not that Mcley met amy of the ki ane show other pugilists named above. He will have a chance to show how much of a fighter he is, however, when he tac- kies Joe Jeannette in Paris the lat- ter part of this month. Jeannette got a decision over McVey in a ten-round bout about two years ago. KIDDING THE BATTER. How Kleinow Jollied Tyrus Cobb—Two Strikes, Then a Pop Fly. Jack Kleinow of the New bat when he takes the notion and is a mighty valuable catcher. One last ‘summer Walter Manning pitching a game against Detroit, and through some wildness and a few errors, found himself in a bad hole. The bases were filled, two were out and the mighty Cobb was at the bat. Cobb stepped to the plate full of confidence and determined to kil the ball, vell, Tm certainly up in the pinch.” Kleinow extended to paid no attention. “You dom't fancy that low curve about the knee, Ty, and this busher has a beauty.” Kieinow was telling the truth, for Manning's curve ball, when breaking right, is a thing of heauty. Ty was well aware of the fact, “Let him get it over and I'll show you just what I think about an in- shoof at the knee,” replied Tyrus, who was determined to single, as a hit meant the game. Ty swung at two glad you are was the greeting low curves, one of them hitting in front of the plate, in his anxiety to win the contest, After each strike Kleinow sarcasm smiled and injected a bit of into Tyrus. “Well, I'm going to feed you an- other at the same place,” said Jack as Manning began to unwind. True to his word, Kleinow had called for an- other low insoot. Ty made a swing at it, popped up g little fly and the side was retired. Throughout the rest of the game Kleinow kept up his kidding. and Ty didn’t get a bit of revenge, until the ninth, when he clouted out a triple with a_couple on the bases, but the New Yorkers had taken too big a lead. YALE 'VARSITY CANDIDATES. Crew Men Called to Mest Monday— Preliminary Practice. At Yale the call for 'varsity crew candidates has been issued, all those Ylannlng to go out for the 'varsity be- ng Invited to meet the captain and coach next Monday. There are’ only two men from last year's crew who are sure of positions in the boat, These are Capt. Henry A Howe, who has taken for himseif ti most difficult position of stroke, and Welles K. Rice, both members of the senior class. Howe and Rice nave both rowed for two vears and have proved themselves capable and substantial oarsmen. The preliminary practice wiich wil' ‘be taken up now consists of rowing in the machines at the gymnasium and long runs by the candidates when the temperature is not too low. In March the practice on the harbor will com- mence and then will come tne hard work for the varsity eight The deati of Dwight T. Grisweld, the Yale stroke of last year, has had a considerable influence, no matter what may be said to the contrary, and as a result several members of the minor boat crews have been forbidden to zo out by their parents. A number of let- ters have recently been sent to Yale Alumni Weekly urging that a three mile course be adopted instead of the four miles and arguing that the fun of the racing is given up and the sport taken altogether too seri- ously.
