Im a long letter to friends in this city Wilde says that while biggér purses can be had in this country. the stiff requirements of our in- come tax laws made the net result less than ring earnings in England, Wilde writes that he may engage in two bouts before hanging up his sloves and they will both be held in England. While no opponents are mentioned the first adversary will likely be Battling Murray of Phila- delphia. The little fellow sends word that under the new English rule of only giving percentages, for main bouts only three boxers can draw big money—himself, Ted (Kid) Lewis and Georges Carpentier. Wiide is now more popular than ever in England. Johnny Bull's pride i's considerably touched because he }as_only one real high-class boxer, ond English fans consequently think oll the more of Wilde.

Gardner, who defeated him in Monday night's game, is causing a great deal of comment. The letter which he addressed to J. P. Allen. Recretary of the National Association, follows: Will you please accept thisas my withdrawal from the National Tournament now in progress at the Crescent Athletic Club. 1 am taking this action because of the unsportsmantike conduct of my opponent on Monday eve ning, which was in gross viola- ion of the well known rules of the National Amateur Associa- on. You have no doubt been advised that my opponent in this instance resorted to unsportsmanlike meth- ods in repeatedly leaving the non- stroking player's chair and put- | ting on his coat and leaving the foom and indulging in various other practi¢es which are plainly forbidden by the rules under which fhe contest was presumed to be played and which practices have no place in the ethics of gen- tlemanly spottsmanship of such character as I had believed ou? association aspired to. Please understand I am not criticising intelligent defensive tactics in the manipulation of the balls while the player is at the table, but that conduct which I believe may be be properly termed ‘‘sharking,"’ inspired by low cunning, suggestive of cow- » and in violation of the rules, more properly fitted to the | billiard environment of a decade gone by, is intolerable tome. My interest in billiards ceases when such practices are condoned or tolerated by the association. May 1 express my appreciation of the excellent staging of thr tournament from every physical |: standpoint by the committee of the Créscent Club and their most attentive hospitality and my ex- ceeding regret for any inconven!- ence and embarrassment which my withdrawal may precipitate.

Muncie has two teams so even'y matched that it was decided to give each a half with a view to breaking the New Yorkers’ winning streak of eight successive victories. The Mun- cle A. C. Five started the first half of the game which ended in favor of the visitors by a score of 19 to 18, For the second half, the College team took the floor and that combination succeeded in bringing the tally to a draw at the end of the second ses- sion, An extra period of five min- utes failed to gain a victory for either team, so the tally of 38 to 38 was accepted as the result.
