Sigourney proved his worth a year ago at the national championship matches and Wright has been improving at a remarkable clip, but they must show their best form to” defeat the other entries at the handicap decided upon in the com- ing tourney. It has been decided that Frank du Bois, Frank Coffin, James Morley and Dr. O. B. Burns are to make 150 points against 300 for Wright and Sigourney. As the four class B men named are llable to aver- age in the nelghborhood of five points or more in any game, it brings a heavy task on the shoulders of the scratch men and the interest in the outcome is all the more, keen. Morley has donated prizes to the value of $75, $50 and $25 to first, sec- ond and third place and the tourney will be decided on the basis of per- centage of games won and lost, every contestant meeting every other player before the affair is completed. Du Bois plays Morley on Monday night, Coffin and Wright meet Tuesday and Sigourney tries his luck with Burns on Wednesday evening. Play will be continued every night, with the excep- tion of Saturday and Sunday, until the entire fifteen games have been played. —_—— Academic League Baseball.

He leaves this morning for Boston, but expresses the hopes of returning soon to again box the Dixie Kid. In speaking of the decision Walcott sald: “Well, I aln’t like a lot of fei- lows that come out here and go back home with a cry of having been rob- bed by a California referee. I must say the decision was just a trifle raw, but as the papers have all explained the case, I-think I have lost nothing. I Have received the winner’s share of the purse and so has Dixie. Mr. Coff- roth has kept his word by me and sa everything is all right. “The Dixie Kid is all right and he's game. He's quick and strong, but I'm better than he is.
