BIG REAL ESTATE DEALER DEAD ! John O. Wendell Next to Aston in Property Holdings New York, Dec. 1. —With the pos sible exception of the Astor estate, John G. Wendell, who died veeterday in Los Angeles, was reputed to own more real estate on Broadway than any other person and his property holdings in the city are said to have been great •r than those of any other individual. Wendell inherited the property. The Wendell fortune, estimated at • pwards of $50,000,000 accrued from investments in New York real estate and it was one of Wendell's policies never to sell any land. Another of Wendell's characteristics was that no hotel or amusement place of any kind was allowed to exist on his property. ''Call it sentiment, if you like." he is reported to have said. '' Perhaps it is, but I want to keep the little build ings as they were when they came to ine. There are also moral and legal rea eons. In the first place, I will no; be responsible for the machinations of the evil one. I have plenty to do without being responsible for immortal souls." A vacant lot, next to Wendell's brownstone house at Fifth avenue an : Thirty-ninth street, he always refusei to soil or build upon. "My dog must have a place to romp, he explained. This home and lot hav e been valued at 1300.000. WILL REBUILD TOWN Fire at Marienville Destroys Forest County's Only Licensed Place Tkmesta, Pa.. Dec.

NEWS OF THE SPORTING WORLD FREDDIE WELSH FEARS SBUCRUE'S LUCKY PUNCH Lightweight Champion Says He Has Hardest Part of Bargain in To 'morrow's Bout With Jerseyite— Sam McVey Returns New York, l>ec. I.—Freddie Welfh, lightweight champion of the world, an nounced last night that ha has reached the weight limit, 135 pounds, at Which he is to fight Joe Shugrue, of Jersey City, at Madisou Square Garden to-mor row night. For the first time in bis j ugilisti • career Welsh has expressed his re;pe.'t for his prospective oppo nent 's punch. "It's not the weight that's worry ing me half so much as it is this fel low Shugrue's wallop." said Freddie. "\ou know, although I am expected to win, I'm the guy that has the hard est purt of the proposition confronting hint on Wednesday night. This young man Shugrue has everything to gain and not a thing to lose, and therefore he'll wade in and take all sorts of chances —and, you know, even a world's champion is liable to be the victim of a lucky punch. "Don't misunderstand me. I'm not paving the way for any 'alibi.' I'm merely calling attention to the fact that my task will be much harder than my op onent's. I'll have to go in there and keep a weather eye oirt for the wild swing, in addition to putting over a little of my own specialty in the way of fisticuffs. Do I make mvself perfect ly clear?" Ai to Shugrue's reported ui ' terances on the subject, the champion. I to use the vermicular, has Vhe right J dope. The little Jersey it® declares that he intends to put all his depend j en.-e in one wallop, and if that one j t'ails, to persevere with other wallops. ' Joe is thoroughly im'oued with the idea that Welsh cannot hurt him with his punches, and evidcrtlv intends to sail in from the start in an endeavor j to score decisively with a telling 'blow. Shugrue weighed 134 pounds last night. The return of Bam McVev, the' heavyweight, from the war .oone has prove,! a blessing to such battlers as Battling Jim Johnsou. Joe Jeannette and Sa«i LangtVml, who have ex peri eneed a dearth of em loymemt, due to ! the fact that they have been unable ' to secure opponents. Langford, Jean nette and Johnson have fought one another so often that their oat ties have lost interest, and a new factor will un questionably be weKomed bv them.

I.—Captain Brick lev, of Harvard's champion football team is out for a berth as football coach in some college in or new New York, in which city he plans to start in business after his graduation iu June. "It is my present plan and hope to cbaeh uext fall, but not at Harvard," said Brickloy yesterday. "I intend to work in New York after graduation. It would be prefer able, then, to coach a team within reasonable distance of that city. It is my idea that it weald be foolish to accept a one-year contract as a foot ball coach. Iu oue year I could not do justice to myself nor to the team 1 coached. It would not be fair for any of the parties concerned to at tempt to build up a winning combina tion in one year. "Harvard and Haughton would have little use for me next fall. And then I need the money. Several propo sitions have been made to me indi rectly, but I have done nothing defi nitely. Things being equal, I would pass up an offer to coach a Western team and accept a position as coach of an eastern team. I consider that my value as a coach would come from my long connection with the Haugih ton system of football as taught at Harvard, not from any individual ability as a player." Brickley v in case of securing a conchship, said he would like .the as sistance of some ex Harvard lineonan in developing the team. BASKETBALL OPENING Cardinals and Giants Win P. R. B. Y. M. C. A.

Syracuse, Vander bilt and the Michigan Aggies are among the teams tentatively listed for Ferry Field dates.
