Kid Paige, who challenged the winner of the bout Monday, realized that Crosby was too sfrong for him after seeing him bake way with Eugene Bezenah so easily. He has been matched with Bezenah, however, and these two men are expected to put up an even fight. They are to meet on January 19. On that night Gus Bezenah will box .Kid Donnelly eight rounds.
Crosby is to be seen here again within a short time. His showing won many friends and articles will be signed with a man faster than Bezenah. Efforts are being made to have either Otto Seiloff or Martin Judge of Chicago meet Crosby. Judge has held his own in three twenty round fights with Joe Gans. He is somewhat heavier than Crosby, but the colored man has agreed to take him on at MO pounds. Crosby is anxious to meet Gans away from Baltimore, where he is sure of receiving fair play.
One of the most interesting events promised is the preliminary with Vickers and "Babe" Robinson as the principals. Vickers has aspirations to win fame in the ring.

Joe Gans is Given the Decision Over Gus Gardner as Latter Refused to Fight.
Eddie Gardner is in hard training for his coining bout with Kid Blackburn, and by yetting' in first-class condition he says he wiU be able to retrieve lost ground through losing the decision in his first battle with the fast colored boy from Indianapolis. Gardiner declares he is in better condition than he has been for some time with ten days remaining for continued hard work. He expects to tijj the beam at 12S pounds before entering the ring.
Kid Donnelly and Charles "Chuck" Owens are to go on for another preliminary, but the length will be increased to ten rounds fighting straight rules. The National Sporting club will endeavor to make every contest held under its auspices contain new features, but the exhibitions put up by the colored hotel employe and the Canadian lad have proven so popular that the two men will be matched for another preliminary. In this the spectators are assured cf having a good run for their money, as neither man loafs after the gong sounds. Owens is striving for a reputation.
The contest was one-sided all through.
J'oe Gans Got Decision.
After repeatedly warning Gus Gardiner of Philadelphia, Referee John "Willis gave Joe Gans of Baltimore the decision in thp eleventh round of a bout scehduled for twenty rounds before the National Athletic club at New Britian, Conn., last night.

FOOT BALL EXPERT WOULD NOT CHANGE THE RULES.
DISCREDITS BRUTALITY TALK
Believes That the Present Agitation Will Not Menace the Present Rules of the Game.
In the face of attacks mad'e by several college presidents against the present system of mass play in football game. Dr. Carl Williams, head coach of the university of Pennsylvania eleven, has come out as a strong advocate of this style of play. Dr. Williams declares that a change in the rules will only work harm to the game. "It would be a serious mistake to eliminate concerted attack," says Dr. Williams. "To do so would be to deprive the game of its distinctive character and to seriously impair if not ruin it. The outcry about brutality is much exaggerated. The present regulations reduce the chance of slugging or roughing to a minimum. The brutality is in the man, not in the rules. Tf a player wants to be brutal, he will be in any style of act. "The American game would soon degenerate into something similar to the English game if the rules be changed. English foot ball is only a preparatory game, not calling for the strategic skill the Americans have gradually developed. In (he American game weight and strength are not the sole requisites. Never before were speed, agility and the power of quick thought so essential to the successful player. Often a lighter player is preferred to a heavier one, because he is less clumsy, keeps his feet better and is quicker to profit by openings in the opposing defense."
Dr. Williams does not believe that this agitation will result in any. changes in the rules. There has been no marked increase in fatalities, he says, and he thinks he is warranted in saying that the only plryers who get seriously hurt are members of smaller college elevens who have not received the proper training, and hence are not able to stand the severities of the game.
It is absurd, in his opinion, to assume that the authorities of the various universities could succesfully revise the rules for they are men who know little about football, and what they say is mostly hearsay. He says that few instructors have any objection to the game as it is placed today.

She had a surgeon get it back in place as soon as possible, but it was quite sore and and pained her very much. Her son mentioned that lie had seen Chamberlain's Pain Balm advertised for sprains and soreness, and she asked him to buy her a bottle of it, which lie did. It quickly relieved her and enabled her to sleep which she had not done for several days.

Famous Record.
The performance of the unbeaten Direct Hal 2:01% and M. E. Sturges' Prince Di recjt 2:07 on the Grand Circuit the pas season, and the brilliant close of the year's work by the pair when they lower ed the world's pole record, pacing, by their mile in 2:0o1/& on the Memphis track is not so surprising as it might at first appear when one stops and thinks of their wonderful little sire Direct, 2:05%, th high-wheel champion, says the Horse Review. It is doubtful whether and pacer possessed more brush than Direct in his day and certainly no one ever saw smoother going and better-gaited1 one.
Direct, as one might expect, has proven to be a great sire and the coming season, unless ill luck befalls the get of the little black rascal, promises to be a duplicate of the past one for James Butler's horse.
First, Direct Hal, 2:04y2, on account of his phenomenal bursts of speed in his races when he paced several halves better than a minute coupled with the courage that he displayed, entitles him to be classed as the most probable bidder of the pacers of his class for champion honors with more than a fair chance of securing them. Prince Direct showed his ability to race around 2:05 while the new 'Directs .are the ones that Mr. Butler is especially interested in at this particular time and only last week he received a letter from r.d Geers at Memphis, where he has fi,ve head, informing him that they were all in line condition and doing all that was expected of them. The black colt King Direct, now four years old, that
Mr. Butler purchased of William Long, of Pittsburg, and for which he paid $8,000 is a typical Direct and at Lexington last fall especially pleased Mr. Geers, who saw him step a mile in 2:15 and a half in 1:04.
Later King Direct paced a trial" mile in 2:13 and a half in 1:02%. Cole Direct was about the best green trotter that was worked at the Empire track la.-t summer and was driven a mile by John J\ely in 2:13, while Dirdie Direct and Fred Direct also showed Kelly very fast and warranted Mr. Butler in keeping them over until they got some age and additional education. The fifth one that Mr. Butler sent to Mr. Geers is Marie's Baby, by Directum Kelly, out of Marie Jensen 2:21%. This mare looks very much like her sire and is gaited very much like him and trialed miles around 2:20 in her work last fall. The quintette are certainly a promising lot.
The Horse in Court.
One of the most amusing legal cases in which a horse has figured was recently in the police court of an eastern city.A man had been arrested for fast driving. but protested to his honor that his horse was not traveling at a rate exceeding "six or seven miles an hour." But the complaining policeman swore that the nag was galloping. This, however, did not disconcert the owner, who rose to explain that it was "necessary to discriminate: the horse was trotting in front but galloping behind—that being a peculiarity of his gait." Whether his honor was sufficiently impressed by this argument to discharge the defendant is not stated.

Earl Obenshain writing from Decatur, 111., to the Sporting News says: The local baseball management now has a complete team for next season but no manager, but the directors of the club say that is a small matter that does not bother them in the least. George Ree3, who wired acceptance of a contract as captain-manager, refused to sign articles when they were sent him and it is understood he will be in the south again next season. The directors say a local man, probably Charles E. Schroll, an old Harvard a^..xete, and once famous amateur ball player, will look after the business of the club and a captain will be selected from among the players signed.
John Hankey, one of the members of Fred Pi'effer's 1902 team retained, will probably be the captain. Hankey has been employed in selecting men and landed the cream of the players that made up the league of Wisconsin towns last summer. It is announced that seventeen men have been signed and all will be given a thorough trial, having been ordered to report early for practice. These men inslude Ross Thornton, the Indiana college boy, and Pitcher Weigand, from last season's team Henry Crass, a man signed last season a«d released by Pfeffer without a trial Ed Krebs. last season's catcher Piper, of the New York State league, as first baseman Fred Olmsted, a Wisconsin man, for shortstop W. P. Hug, W. S. Wright and another pitcher whose name is withheld Wittkow, a fielder Walters, a second baseman, and others whose names have not been given out.
Decatur seems to be first in the field with its team all secured. The other cities in the league are singning men singly and in pairs, and all have decided on the men who will lead their teams as managers or captains.
President Sexton, at this writing, has not called the league meeting to formally grant the franchise to Dubuque and Joliet but that will probably be done within a fortnight. Those two towns are going ahead with their plans and selecting players. Dubuque announces the signing of Charley Buelow as first baseman and captain and "Chuck" Fleming as left fielder. Fleming was announced as signing with Terre Haute in the new Central league, but he says the terms were not satisfactory and he did not close up with them.
George Brady^ who was a popular player in this circuit in 1900 and 1901, and was given brief trials by Terre Haute and Decatur in 1902, has signed a contract to play with Pine Bluff in the Cotton State league.
Manager Hayes anr^ounces from Davenport that Roy Weisbrodt, of Des Moines will captain his team next season.
