Most New Yorkers who follow the game think they know the ultimate result now—Burns will win. But oa the night of Dec. 2% New Yorkers will not only be able to name the winner, out also the number of rounds and all the details of the figet. Maybe that looks like a fram»-up. Nothing doing in that line. It's just the difference in time. Burns anu Johnso are scheduled to enter the ring at Sydney at 11 A. M. on the morning of De 26. When it is 11 A. M. jn Sydney on Dec. 2 it will be $8.20 +. M. Dec. 23 in New York City. There is a difference of fourteen hours and forty minutes in time between Sydney and New York, Sydney being that much to the eastward of New York.

OLD ENGLAND WILL ~ WELCOME HORSES But Former Tammany Leader De | lines to Discuss His Chances for Another Derby. | BY VINCENT TREANOR. ICHARD CROKER, one-time Tammany boss and leader, is no longer a politician. Any one who has met him since h on the Lusitania can tell that by his handshake. ic isn’t the old-time vote-making grip that the gray-bearded country squire hands out these days. Instead, it is one of those cold, let-go-my-hana kind. Mr. Croker said the English author! “I don't know There isn't much said tles had no desire to discourage Amer!- | about it,’ wered Mr. Croker can horse owners, as has the French Jockey Club by its recent rule ma’ Cs American trainers and jockeys reside abroad three years before getting a license. While Mr, Croker has no Derby eligible for next year, he has 4 colt in his stable now which will start in the Derby of 1910. As to his turf win- nings last season, Mr. Croker said he was well pleased. Including purses and money realized in the sale of horses, his total was about $50,000. This includes the $17.50 he secured for The Battler, half-brother of the Derby winner Orby. Evades All Questions. Mr. Croker, moving slowly about his quarters at the Democratic Club in his square-toed shoes, with both hands dug deep in the side pockets of his trousers, with John Fox and Richard jr. looking on admiringly, ducked every important question dealing with racing. He waited for each question, and then with a wise expression and a Swat Milligan steely glint answered without saying anything. “What do they think in England of | the American invasion of horses?” he | was asked, Western Fight Ciubs Now in Open Wariare = has gone arrival eva- Not, Colin, Pair st of the An ently, in the the shipped re alah wglish vuldn't uges ud. there K the [2 fave say of ¢ Is on will how affect it Derby i horses |W ken of mndidates early winners of th 8 probi any; 1 have He Declined the Issue. minded of the fact have Hi Messrs. was Ke that Sev- had a’ cha or Uh disc yon events declined to dif he had Croker the t will Ks ith, and pack to Chi San Francisco Promoters inj Clash With Jem Coffroth, | of the Colma Arena.
