NEWS OF THE SPO
TRAIN 3 HOURS LATE
DON'T HALT CHARLEY WHITE
Chicagoian, Hailed as Lightweight
Champion of the World, Injects
Novel Training Feat on Lake Shore
Limited
New York, Dec. 26. —Charley White,
who is hailed in Chicago as the actual
lightweight champion of the world,
added a new training stunt to the an
nals of pugilism yesterday when he
found that the Lake Shore Limited, on
which he was en route fTom Chicago to
New York, would be three hours late.
"H bite is to light Joe Shugrue next
Tuesday night at Madison Square Gar
den, and, a3 he is in tip-top shape, he
is doing only light training, but is very
particular about that.
So, when he found the train would be
lute, he went into the baggage car and
arranged with the baggageman to fii up
a little traveling gymnasium. Rigging
up some pulleys, lie set up an exerciser
and worked at the vveights for half an
hour. Then he shadow boxed in the
cramped confines of the car, with tow
ering trunks on all sides of him. And
then, enlisting a lively fox terrier,
which some traveler was bringing Fast,
as a sparring partner, he finished off
with some hot rope work and dodging.
The dog entered into the spirit of
the game and gave White l"ts of exer
cise, after which the fighter and Nate
his manager, went back to their
drawing room where TrainVr Ike Bern
stein gave White e good rubdowu.
When the train reached New York,
\\ hite had just finished dinner. It was
N. 22, and Charley said he was "feeling
fine."
Lewis an 1 White and their menage
are now quartered here, and Charley
will do a little pad work in Central
•I'urk and box tu-i'ay and Sunday at
Coopers' gymnasium.
"White is not only going to beat
Shugrue, but he is going to knock him
out,'" said Lev,is last night. "He is
punching better than ever, and he has
fought Shugrue twice, so he knows all
about his style. He has won seven of
his last thirteen tights with knockouts.
He would have put Welsh out it that
Milwaukee fight had gone three more
rounds, and if he ever meets Welsh at
the legitimate lightweight limit, instead
of at 141 pounds, there will b" a new
lightweight champion, and we won't
need a referees' decision, either, for it
will be a clean knockout.'
Hard to Pronounce
One of the hard names to pronounce
is that of the central Ras-inn govern
ment called Nijni N'ovogrod. The first
"i" has the sound of "e;" the second
is short. The "o" in the penultimate
syllable is long, as in the English
"word "go." The "o" in the syllables
" nov" and "rod " has the sound of
4 'o" in the English word "rod."
• - J" has the soft French sjund. The
accents are on the first and last syl
lables. ''Neezh ni Nov go-rod."

REFORMERS AGAIN AFTER
! CLGVE GAME IN GOTHAM
Several Bills Will Be Introduced Into
New York Legislature Calculated to
Wipe Out the Bdng Came Entirely
Whitman May Save Sport
New York, l>ec. 26. —When the Leg
islature goew into session at Albany
next rtiontb reformers will begin an
other crusade against prize fights per
mitted by the Frawley law in this
State. In spite of the fact that Uover
nor-e'.ect Whitman has been quoted as
saving that he is uot opposed to boxing
contests, but is in favor of having a
single )>aid commissioner instead of
the present outfit, the reformers will in
troduce several bills calculated to wipe
out the ring game entirely. Those who
have planned this crusade are confident
of success, believing that when the
bills are forced to a vote the Republi
can leaders in the Senate and Assembly
cannot afford to place obstacles in tho
way.
During the life of the recent Demo
cratic Legislature it was admitte.l that
much influence was required to prevent
the repeal of the Krawley law. Law
makers from up the State were opposed
to prize fighting or even the tamest
kind of boxing exhibitions. Stories of
graft, perhaps unfounded, were fre
quently circulated by advocates of re
form. but in spite of this opposition the
law was allowed to stand. There is no
doubt that boxing when kept out of the
hands of unscrupulous persons is papu
lar with the sporting public and that a
determined effort to block adverse leg
islation will bp made bv promoters in
different parts of the State.
It is possible that Governor-e'e t
Whitman may b ( > able to save the spirt
by favoring new legislation to correct
existing evils, but the reformers intend
to show that boxing under the Frawley
law is prize fighting pure and simple.
The present commission has framed
numerous rules to keep the sport free
from objectionable features; and it ia
a matter of record that fake tights have
been few and far between. The rule
prohibiting decisions by referees tins
been for the purpose of dis
couraging bottir.g. in as much as bet
ting on prize fights in this State is a
crime.
■lust before Gunboat Smith and Jim
Coffey met in their allege I flight in
Madison Square Garden recently, the
betting law was violated l>v spectators
at the ringside. O.Ms of 11 to 10 were
offered on Smith and numerous wagers
were made, according to eyewitnesses
of these transactions. It is assumed
that the members of the commission
and the managers of the club which
promoted this fiyht were not aware fiat
speculation was goin;: on. Rut the taw
was violated just the same, probably
for the rea-on that the Police Depart
ment was kept out-i!e of the building.
Of course, the reformers are in earnest,
but if they would attend some of these
fistic bloomers and see how the public
is hoodwinked by pugilists who know
the best way to obtain easy money,
! they might reach the conclusion tl.at
i the game from the standpoint of bru
( tality isn't so vicious after all.

Between the halves, as an added at
traction, will be a game between the
Methodist club and St. Andrew's, both
of this city, two strong :imateur teams.
As there is considerable rivalry be
tween these two clubs, a spirited game
is expected. Captain Winn, of the
Methodist, will pla.-o Bums at center,
whose work is expected to be a feature
of the game. The line-up:

BOAT WITH AEROPLANE MOTOR
MOTOR BOAT.
Following experiments made on T/ake Keuka last stimmer, Glenn H.
tiss, of aeroplane fame, has built on the Pacific coast a fast motor boat fitted
with an aeroplane motor. The craft's dimensions make her roomy and com
fortable. as well as seaworthy, according to the builder. Her length is twenty
feet. *
1 he radical difference between this and other motor boats, as claimed, 11
that the light aeroplane motor will drive the craft as fast as other boats that re
quire double the power of the Curtlsa boat, the heavier motors necessitating
heavier hulls Another point made is that the engine, being compact, gives mora
space in the craft. She carries eight persons and is doelgned to combine speed
and comfort. The motor is of ninety horse power. Several duplicates will ba
built in the East the coming spring and may contest in races. The boat shown
in the illustration is the only one so far contracted and is in Santiago Bay.
When loaded to her capacity—eight passengers—she planed across the bay at
a forty mile clip, which was regarded as an unusual performance, considering
her load, small power and dimensions.
Mr. Curtiss lias been experimenting for a year or more on this type of motor
boat, and it is said that he lias others in contemplation that are expected to
develop more speed without sacrificing comfort
