SPORTY TALKFROM NEW YORK Oharges that Corbett is Growing a Trifle Fresh For His Oalling. DICK BURGE RETURNS TO OLD ENGLAND MeAulllfe Will Work Gotham a Bit-The Hall in Fine Form the s % Cineh pklyn and Sports of all Sorts, ban and Nrw York, Jan, 14 New York during this week has been ice bound, sport computed by actual happenings has been hidebound. All the bright and particular stars have been shedding their beams upon lovers of other cities, and com- ment upon their sayings and doings is all that is left to maintain a proper circulation these bleak days. It'sa cold indecd, when the gentry can't find something to comment upon. They may have to dive in- to their “Iit” for a “sweater” to keep their Yodies warm; but that portion of their an- atomy situated between the nose and chin is red hot all the time.

The offer will no doubt bring on a host of challengers and there will be no end of men present to whoop up the affair. Judging from the number of complaints that have been made against the American Athletic union boxing and_wrestling cham- pionship contest, Quaker City men held the first mortgages on all the honors that were going. First tho boxers of the Pasti Athlotic club protested against the w they were treated, and now Hugh Leonard of the Manhattans declares that the wrest- ling end of the show was a farce. He say: that the bouts were conducted with gross ignorance of the rules, and he protests that they were not conducted in a fair or gentle- manly manner. 1t is understood that formal complaints will be filed, but whether they ‘will amount to anything remains to be seen. Jim Hall has entered upon his training at Lakewood, He Is in fine shape to begin with and will require careful handling to prevent his going o fine. « Metropolitan Handicap.

Tho other stakes of the New York Jockey club have met with generous nomivations.

The unqualificd suc- 2ess of tho s is ovidenced by the fact that in nine stakes tho total entrios foot up 825, Of that number the flash stakes has 10 fewer than 125 nominations. This large entry list may be accounted for by the tact that tho 2-year-old stakes of last season were very interestlog and furnished, as a rule, splendid speculative events for the bliz. The Hudson County Jockey club as passed a wise rule, making it a disquali- fying and ruling off offénse for any jocke tise one of those new fangled electiic appara- tus on a horse, 5o as to_urge him boyond his erdinary speed. The New Orleans racing have gone even further forbidden the use of “injections" aine and other drugs supposed to stimu- late speed in sluggish horses. Both rules aro good but it is very much doubted Whether they can be enforced. The electric apparatus rulo may be, perhaps, but the anti-injection order can’ hardly be main- tained, since evidence of the use of the hypodermio syringe is very dificult to ob- tain. It is not thought that the use of such artificial stimulants to speed is really harm- ful but it leads to uo end of in and out run- ¥ business.
