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.

meat market and* eloPhing store has
been opened in temporary quarters,
which will supply the homeless and des

town Sunday night and yesterdny and
the sight presented was a pitiable one.
A large number of people stood around
homeless and disheartened. Ma try lost
nil their belongings and have no in
surance.
When it was realized that the Key
stone Hotel was doomed its furnishings
and liquors were removed. Opponents of
liquor bored holes in the barrels of
whiskey as they stood on the street, but
were stopped after three barrels had
been punctured. The hotel was the only
one in the county with a license and
the fire has now made Forest an all-dry

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.
Battling Jim Johnson is t-iie rirst to take j
on the newcomer, aud the pair will
meet at the Kairmon; A. C. on Thurs
day, December 10.

Harvard Captain In Need of Fonda
»Seek* Place Aa Football
Adviser
Cambridge, Dec. 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.

Anu Arbor, Mich., Dee. 1. —Cornell

Harvard and Pennsylvania will b e the
only engagements the Yost men will
have away from Ferry Field. The
Crimson date has not been decided upon

Michigan will journey to Cambridge
again.
Athletic Director Bartelme returned
yesterday from ah extended Eastern
trip, and h e intmated that next fall's
schedule would contain the same list
for the Wolverines. Syracuse, Vander
bilt and the Michigan Aggies are among
the teams tentatively listed for Ferry
Field dates.
Notre Dame is the only possible new
opponent of importance which the ath
letic authorities are considering. The
Wolverines resumed baseball relations
with Not'e Dame last spring, and in
case of a vacancy on the list it is like
