LL WE WELCHED, Mpiiy”" Connot Bayo Connor Says the Starter Lent $20,000 and Wouldn’t Pay. Hard Luck at Fare in Hot Springs, Ark., Early in January. ‘ Got Angry When Refused More Credit at the Arkansas Club. ‘That James F. Caldwell, the well- known starter of race harses, could lose ‘$20,000 at faro in a single sitting might Possibly be believed by the sporting fraternity, but that he could turn “welcher”’ is something which they can- Mot reconcile with his past reputation. Buch, however, is the story going the rounds to-day, and it is given in such @etail that it obtains general credence. Caldwell is at present in Chicago on his bridal tour, and, so far as known, he has made no denial of the story. William J. Connor, better known as “Billy” in the sporting world, 1s respon- ble for the latest story. ‘concerning Sy ee Caldwell, Connor js one of the pid fine woue of the Arkansas Club, a house in Hot Spri a Sther partners ata Beitk ‘Gunn sso if Linn, of Cincinnati; “sayhen of Chi- and Henry Turner, of Hot Springs Rivarin i th club, according to Connor & ell lost the mone: STARTER JAMES F, CALDWELL According to Connor's story, Caldwell @rrived {n Hot Springs about’ the first ‘Week in January last and was a frequent Visitor to the Arkansas Club.

When losing, jowever, he was reckless, and frequent. ly put, $200 worth of chips’ on the turn of ard. Only on four occasions did he q@uit the table a Iser, (Once when he ad no money he lost $10,001.

Al right,’ he repied, ‘it you a ing to stop me after I ‘have lost T'll not pay you, and that’s all there 1s to it.’ We thought he was joking “He was there that afternoon, er, and lost $8.00, which he pald. "Phe st'night he was there he lost $2,200 Which he paid. and then he borrowed $1,000 from a friend which he also lost, Then he said he was leaving town next day, Guan end Titalked wit niin and he sald he would make good his losses, He promised to send an order to us, but aid not, and I have just had a telegram from Gunn, who went to Chicaro after Caldwell, and the latter refuses to do anything. “Of course we cannot collect the mon- ey, as it is a gambling debt, but ms to me that Caldwell holds his jonor cheaply at SSS Col. nt on # ' Pollro Commissioner Grant, Committee on Supplies and Repairs of the Police Board, calied at the West Thirtleth street potice @iation, last night on a tour of inapection.

Nation! Sporting sting Oi, of London, May Substitute Lanky Fob. Peter Jackson Appears Not to Have Been Asked to Face Jim. Tt fs not at all uncertain that Bob) Fitzsimmons may fight Corbett before the National Sporting Club, of London, from the drift affairs have taken. One! thing is definite regarding the plans of the lanky middleweight champion, and given the preference over Jackson. His contention is that, under the agreement signed by him and by Corbett, if the Florida Athletic Club finds It tmpossible| to hold the match tt may be fought un- | der the auspices of the club qffering the largest purse. In an. intel Fitz expresses ignored for ac!

His previously Insistance upon that club, it frclaimed, was only made wien he Gilzed that Corbett would not accept | such a proposition, and as a means to avold a match. ‘In the matter as it now stands, Peter's voice has not been heard at all, and all that has been done towards the discussed match seems to be the petition of Manager Brady ask. hg ‘hat the club offer @ purse. tis only reasonable to preaume that Jack- son will have to be asked whether he 1s willing to fight or not. ‘This argument and the fact that Jack- son has not been well recently, together with the proposed tour of the Brady combination, has given the impression that plans have been carefully laid for @ rejuvenation of the old and threadbare Jackson-Corbett flasco. But Supp pose Jackson refuses to fight and the National people manage to get! Fitzsimmons to consent to a meeting before their club? Corbett will then be placed in a_ post of having to ac cept the match or fall back upon a ver flimsey protest that he is matched wit Fitz before another club and must wait an eternity, If necessary, until that club ean pull off the fight. In fact, Corbett’s utterances in Chi- cago last night give rise to such a sus- picion, He ‘cannot affoni to wait, he Says, while there are so many ood, ¢asy Gollaes walting to be picket.
