SPORTING NOTES.

A London, Eng., club Is considering the advisability of offering a purse for Corbett and Peter Jaokfecm to fight for. Virginia is after the Corbett-Fits-simmons fight if the men can be brought together. The race trade at Hawthorne, 111., was raided by Chicago Civic Federation, and many bookmakers arrested. John S. Johnson, the bicycle rider, has been declared a professional. He will likely go to France to race for money. The Corbett-Fltssimmons fight Is now thought to be off. The men cannot meet in Florida and it is not expected they will fight anywhere else.
