Sullivan thinks he is entitled to $218, part of the proceeds of the sale of the championship belt which was said to be worth $10,000 at the time it was presented to him. The belt was recently sold by his uncle with whom he had left it for a loan of $1,80). John L. heard the belt had brought $2,900. He decided that all the money above the principle and interest, with the cost of the sale, should come his way. The consulted Lawyer Isaac Frauenthal, but the pawnbroker sent back word that just $4 was coming to the big fellow. o Arthur Cripps to Keep Busy. Arthur Cripps, the Australian champion, will probably be kept very busy in the near future. Sam Fitzpatrick, Cripps manager, has received three offers to have Cripps meet different men in various parts of the country. One of them comes from Kansas City to take on Hugo Kelly for twenty rounds. Cripps and Kelly may fight within two weeks time. The Australian also intends to meet Larry Temple in private if satisfactory terms are agreed upon, Cripps and Temple may fight before a club in New Jersey. middle-- weight ' The Printers Error. George Moore says of Walter Par ter that he wrote with difficulty, and each sentence of his books was written out on a separate piece of paper. Once, when Arthur Symons pointed out a sentence he could not under stand a long, intricate sentence of ten lines or more Pater examined it comma by comma, a puzzled look upon his face all the while. At last he said: I see the printer has omitted a dash. annex the American middle-weigh- t championship title to his name. o Cyclist Michael in Paris. After returning to Wales and visiting his home, Jimmy Michael started for Paris, where his reappearance in training costume at one of the local cycling tracks caused a stir, owing to the reports of his mental troubles sending him abroad from America. Michael is seemingly determined to again whip himself into shape, according to late Paris advices. The promoters of Paris will give him every opportunity to redeem himself, providing that his trouble, which arose from falling on his head at Berlin last May, disappears. With good care this would have been accomplished in this country had Michael taken care of himself instead of carousing. Michael is said to be regaining his old time speed, and expects to meet one of the crack French middle distance riders soon. 11 The Middleweight Championship. The latest among the middlewelghts is the talk of Kid McCoy and Bob Fitzsimmons meeting for the championship of that division. Fitzsimmons won the title from Jack Dempsey over thirteen years ago, and still claims the honor of being the boss of that class, basing his claims on the fact lie had never been defeated for the title. The old man says he can fight at 158 pounds, and McCoy allows that the weight fits him nicely. If it does, he must be getting smaller, as It .is only a short while ago he could not battle at less than 165 pounds. Wonder what Tommy Ryan and Jack OBrien think of It? George Siler. o Chess Experts Arrive. Eight of the masters who are to play in the international chess tournament at Cambridge Springs, Pa., came over together on the Pretoria. They are Lasker, Tschigorin, Teich-manJanowski, Schlechter, Marco, Laurence, the new English player; and Marshall, who has been abroad more than two years. During the passage all of them took part in a game that lasted four days. The moves were without time limit, and black, in the intricate position that arose in the last third of the contest, consulted ar entire day on one move. The game was won by white, represented by Lasker, Tschigorin, Teichmann and Marshall. n, Death of Sumner Paine. Dr, Sumner Paine, the well known revolver marksman, died of pneumonia at Boston last week. Dr. Paine was a son of General Charles Paine, the yachtsman. He was 34 years of age. He was a member of the American revolver team that competed in the Olympic games at Athens. o Test for Wind Shield. It is announced that the effects of the wind shield will be tested the coming season by tho trotter Major Delmar, 1:59. Tho horse will not be asked to step miles in two minutes until late in the season. He will then be driven, miles behind the wind shield, and also without that implement in front of him. Oldfield's Reinstatement. Barney Oldfield will bo reinstated by the A. A. A. upon tho payment of a fine of $100. Oldfield will undoubtedly pay the fine at once in order that nothing may be in tho way of his signing to drive one of the cars in the international cup race. He may drive cither a Peerless or a Packard. ALL TRUE. Law is a great thing for lawyers. Men like to feel that advice to a woman is an evidence of true friend- ship. Schaefer May Stay in Paris. Jacob Schaefer, former billiard champion, will probably take up a permanent home in Paris, where he is contemplating opening a billiard academy with Howison as a partner. For some time there has been a great deal of dissatisfaction among the French acadeiqy proprietors and the American players, the latter declaring that Spanish players had been brought in at greatly reduced salaries.
