NOLAN, e ————— —— An article, mislaid in the series of 1891, describes a race which came near terminating my career on the cinder- path in & most tragic manner.. Early in the month of August, 1891, I was in- duced to go to Albeny, N. Y., to run a race with the since-famous Jim Smith of that city. I was met at the depot by & sporting man named Jim Conners and several others, and taken to Island Park, a mile track, whers I ran a half- mile trial in 1m. h8s. This pleased them and they tried to arrango a half mile race that night with Smith, but in this they failed. The following day I ran a mile for them in 4m. §2s. That night they suc- ceeded in arranging a Ifle race with Smith for 3100 a side, & week later. Two days aftec this I was sent another mile, and succeeded in doing it in 4m. 30s. As the American professional record was 4m. 28 1-2s. this trial made oy supporters feel very copfident, but the hard trials were sapping my strength, and I was five pounds under my running weight. To make matters worse, a steady downpour of rain for three days befqre the race left the track a veritable fleld of mud, ove which they ren a scraper just before the race. The conditions jus Smith, who was a voung giant, v cigh- ing in condition 170 pounds. Before the start Smith and his backer, Wil- liam Kearney, proposed an equal divi- ain of the gate money, to which I mgreed; but Conners and his friends rejected it. At 4 o'clock p. m. we were ordered to the mark, and were off at once, Smith leading to the quarter in Im.-5s. I then passed him, and, run- ning without any epparent effort, reached the half mile in Zm. 12s. and the three-qfiarter pole in 3m. 21s. Here Bmith began a long spurt, and for the first 300 yards I ran at his shhoulder, but his great strength served him well on the heavy track, and he drew awa) by five yards in the final hundred vards, winning in 4m. 2%, within a half second of the American record. Ji was sald that Smith had run his trial in 4m. 22s, and I belleve he would have duplicated the feat in the race ziad the track been in good condition. Smith at once issued a challenge to run any man in the world a mile race for $500 a mide. The gate money amounted to $100 over expenses, and Smith Insisted on my accepting half. | This angered Cnners, who left the grounds at once, while a number of us paid a vistt to St. Agnes' cemetery, nearby, to view the grave of the fam- eus pugilist, John C, Heenan, where an imposing stone of ~Scotch granite ks the final resting place of one of and the most unfortunate fighter America hgs ever produced. - Shortly after the race was over the Smith people warned me to beware of Conners, whom ‘they said was capable of committing murder when under the influence of drink. I disregarded these ‘warnings and went to the hotel, where T retired about 11 o’clock p. m. About an hour later I was awakened by a rap, and upon opening the door n- fronted by Conners and two others, all in_a state of intoxication. Before 1 had time to speak, Conners raised his arm, and I saw = pistol Fn‘nud straight at my breast.

NEW HAVEN BASKETBALLISTS Last Game of the Season—Must Hustle to Win the Game, For the last game of the season the Laurel Hills tonight will line up with a team that will make them hustle.

The home team will use the same lineup as used in other games. FEDERAL LEAGUE DOINGS, To Avoid Conflicting Dates with American Association—Withholds List of Players Until World Tourists Arrive. Chicago, Feb. 27.—Followers of baseball believed they read between the lines of a story published here today, news that organized baseball had virtually “recognized the belli- gerency” of the Federal league. The story said that the Federals and the American associatlon’s leaders had arranged their playing schedules so that conflicts in the two towns in which they are both represented—Kan- sas City and Indianapolis—would be {avoided. Such an agreement would indicate that the association, one of the large leagues in organized baseball, had decided not to make war on the Tederals, but rather to enter into a working agreement. President Chivington of the associa- | tion_denied that any agreement exist- Eed, buc Charles Weeghman, president of the Chicago Federals, declared he had talked with Joe Cantillon, the Min- neapolis ociation owner, and George Tebeau, the Kansas City own- er, and that both had virtually prom- ised there would be no conflicts. The Federal league will withhold its list of players until the arrival of the steamer bearing the world's tourists at New York. !

Jim Corbett S8ays They Are Too Heavy on Their Feet. James J, Corbett, once past master glove man, isn’t shrieking with ecstacy over the chances of the present crop of “white hopes.” Fact 1s, Jim has a lot to say about the lumbering crew from which must step the man who is to win back the premier title for us. “They lack class,” said Jim right off the reel. “In five years of .white- hoping I've fafled to see a single one of them feint an opponent. You've got to do that—you've got to send a man into Johnson who has some idea of the job on hand. They should be on the'r toes and going. The trouble with the present crop is that they're too heavy to get up on their toes. And there isp’'t & man among them who understands the finer points of the art. “One of my pet theorles was to make the other fellow do all the push- ing and tearing by simply blufiing him into the notion that you were just about to start to fight him off his feet. “Take my fight of 23 rounds with Jeffries at Coney Island. I bluffed that big fellow all through that fight until I had him desperate. I'd come tearing out of my corner at the begin- ning of each round. I'd fight like a tiger for the first minute—just fight big Jeff dizzy. Then I'd step backeand survey the enemy. Then for the two remaining minutes I'd make Jeff think I was going to repeat the first minute’s attack—any second. It serv- ed to keep him coming at me, and I showed himl up as he never was showed up before. ““My point is that I fought my hard- est for one minute of the three and rested up for two by simply moving away and letting Jeff do all the rough work. That is an art that the present crop doesn’t seem to be able to under- stand. “Johnson is master of it, and more’s the pity. He hasn’t anyone to whip, and he knows it. The mighty John L Sullivan wouldn’'t meet Peter Jackson, for hé was considered the greatest fighting machine in the world. Well, I had the nerve and the confidence in myself to tackle him. It was a bitter fight, and though I was a mere boy I fought him to @ standstlll in a terrific argument of 61 rounds.” LEAGUE MUST O. K. NEW PRESIDENT OF CUBS.

New York, Feb, 37.—After an indif- ferent start, with little appearance of speculative interest on either side of the market, stocks gradually gathered strength today. The demand was not keen enough to push up prives rap- idly, but the movement continued steadily until. in the last hour, the im- portant stocks, as a rule, sold a poiat or_more above yesterday's close. |~ Speculative conditions were better. { The cables reported that financial difi- cultfes in Paris had been adjusted and the foreign markets were more cheer- ful. Liquidation of American stocks by Amsterdam apparently WaS over. An erronecus report that the Mexican government had appealed to this coun- try for assistance in restoring order stimulated the market temporaridy. Denfal of the report later caused a temporary reaction, but later the ad- vance was resumed, and in the last hour buying was fairly active. The demend came in large part from the shorts, and there were indications that the market was oversold In spots. Bullish operators turned the situation to_their own advantago and ran up ices against the shorts. P Now Haven was weakened by Wash- inzton reports of a hitch in the nego- tiations for dissolution of the system, and at one time sold within a fraction of its low record. Northern Pacific, in- fluenced by reports of new financing, and by an unfayorable January state- ment, was heavy in the early market, but later rose . with the general list. Some of the specialists made large gains. United States Express jumped twelve points and Mpxican Petroleum and General Motors four. Northern Pacific’s decrease in op- erating income last month was $503,- 000. Northwestern reported a small de- cline in net. Contrary to the general run of unfavorable statements, Tili- nois Central showed a net gain of $162,000, and Rock Island of $519,000. The bond market was irregular, with wide fluctnations in some of the spec- ulative and convertible issues, sales, par value, $2,700,000.

The horse Caldwell was riding felt mighty good, as the day was bright and the air bracing. The party was hitting it at top speed over the renowned Malvern road, where Jesse James operated, when Caldwell's hrzwluut struck his right foot into a ole. Then it happened. The horse gave & sudden lurch, and out of the saddle over the head of the steed flew young Mr, Caldwell. He landed among some bushes and nothing but his feelings were hurt. However, the ball player was extremely fortunate that he did not break a bome. NEW YORK YACHT IN PROGRESS. Draught Will Be 22 Feet—Greater Depth Than Defenders of Past. Bristol, R, I, Feb. 27.—Preliminary markings made today on the hull of the New York syndicate yacht yhich is being built here as a candidate for the defense of the America’s cup, show that she is to have a draught of 13 feet 10 inches. With eight feet of center- board to be added, her draught will be nearly 22 feet, a depth greater than that of the ninety-foot defenders of other years. As in other stages of construction, today’s work was photographed and prints will be sent to Bermuda, where Nat Herreshoff, the designer, is keep- ing in touch with the progress made no the vacht.
