2. George W. Barnes, aged 69 years, died of dropsy and stomach disease at his home in Hagerstown He was a 6on of the late Solomon and Provey Barnws, of Baltimore county. For 26 years he was employed as carpenter for the Cumberland Valley Railroad, and also foreman of the bridge builders. He was a member of the Cumberland Valley Relief Association.

Mr. Barnos served as a corporal in Company D.Two Hundred and Tenth Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers. In the Civil War, for two years, and as private in Company D. One Hundred and Twenty-sixth Regiment, for nine months. He was a member of the Odd Fellows.

Thirty-six years ago he married Miss Lu-cinda Munson, of Tilghmanton. His widow and several children survive him. He was a brother of Uriah Barnes, of Baltimore William F. Barnes, of Mechanicsville, Md. Mrs, Mary of Carrollton, Md.

Rowe ran three in the race, and it was always said that the worst of the three won the great prize. And still some people think horseracing can be made an exact science. Rowe has trained four winners of the Futurity Potomac, in 1890; l'Alouette, in 1897; Charcomac, 1899, and Colon, the unbeaten, in 1907. His engagement with Mr. Keene began about 1899, and the list of great races won for that turfman with Rowe as trainer would take up much space.

It was reserved for the current year for Mr. Keene's record-breaking earnings to reach the vi- cinity of the $400,000 mark. In nine years' connection with the Keene horses, nearly $2,000,000 has been won by them under Rowe's able management. At one time Rowe was largely interested In tlie managerial department of comic opera. GOOD WORK BY ATHLETES South Atlantic Association Had A Banner Year In 1907.

The year 1907 has proved to be the greatest in the growth of amateur athletics in all its branches. More meets have been, held and more new athletes brought out than ever before in the South Atlantic Association of the Amateur Athletic Union. The list of meets given will show that every part of the district has had a chance to participate in some form of athletics. There has been an unusually large number of entries in each meet, while the excellent attendance shows that a greater interest is being developed In amateur athletics. The year 190S' promises to be a still more prosperous one in athletics, judging from the large number of meets already being arranged.

As usual, Baltimore clubs and Baltimore athletes carried off the bulk of prizes and honors last year, the Maryland Athletic ROBBIE STARTS TRAINING He And Dunn Wrill Take Walks To Prepare For Ball Season. Wilbert Robinson, having decided to play ball the coming season, is setting a good example to players young or old. He believes in being in 'physical condition when the bell rings In the spring and remaining in shape during the playing season. As soon as Robbie decided to don an Oriole uniform In 1008 he started to work to get in He began yesterday by taking a five-mile walk in the country, accompanied by Manager Jack Dunn. The pair propose to take outdoor exercise daily.

Dunn and Robinson began plaving ball together on the Oriole Club of 1891 and have since been warm personal friends. In their walks baseball forms a major topic of talk, and these two wise fellows are devoting much thought to the club which is to represent Baltimore in 190S. Dunn said yesterday that when he found that Robbie was contemplating getting back into the game he encouraged him to do so, as he appreciated what strength the former Oriole catcher would give the Birds, lie also used the argument of the physical benefit playing would be to Robinson, and as there was no trouble in the matter of terms they were quickly agreed upon. Dunn says he and Ed Hanlon are busy preparing contracts, and the first to receive one will be Wilbert Robinson. Manager Dunn says he believes in players exercising in the open air.

and will never again attempt cage or indoor practice for his men. Speaking of the flock he expects to assemble this year, he says he anticipates its being very, very superior to that of last season. He said "When the contract of the 1907 Oriole Club was turned over to me I had little or nothing to work on. Over $10,000 worth of the club's players had been sold and others got away. Both the meetings of the National and of the American Leagues had been held and there were no players available.

It- is true the club had drafted 10 men, but I released every one of these within 48 hours and not one of these fellows made good during the season. Now I have plenty of material to drow from and I feel sure I will, have a pennant winning club." Dunn's optimism appears to be grounded on the faith he has in his ability to select men and to manage them. Rooters will watch with interest when signed contracts begin to come in. There will probably be some surprises in store when the personnel of the Orioles is finally completed. The securing of WTilbert Robinson was the first surprise.

What will be the next? Turn Down Ball Player J. A. Wrard. Cincinnati, Jan. "2.

The application of Joseph A. Wrard for reinstatement was denied by the National Baseball Commission in a decision given out today. Ward has been promulgated as a contract jumper and is therefore ineligible to participate in organized baseball with any club operating under the national agreement, excepting those in the TrI-State League. The player is said to have jumped his contract with the Philadelphia National League Club to play with the Tri-State League. Wilmington To Keep Sebring.

Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Wilmington, Jan. 2. The owners of the Wilmington Club, of the Tristate League, announce that they will not trade Jimmy Sebring, the outfielder, for Harry Barton, ca tcher on the Trenton Club. A report that this deal would be effected was recently published.

Sebring has been relegated to the ranks of the Tristate League for contract jumping. Herman Miller's Big Benefit. Joe Gans will meet Willie Fitzgerald in a five-round bout at the Herman Miller benefit tonight. Gans has always said that Fitzgerald was about the hardest proposition he ever faced in a ring. Should anything happen to prevent the Fitzger-ald-Gans mill, Gus Gardner or Bob Blackburn will be substituted.

-Though this battle will be the feature event, the four-round bout between Soldier Burns and Kid Sullivan will doubtless be a big attraction. The benefit will be a big affair, as nearly every local boxer of note will be seen in the arena, while there will be some out-of-town lads on deck. A bout which will no doubt please the old timers will be that between Joe Elliott and Billy Whistler. Among other bouts will be: Harry Lyons versus Sammy Harris, Abe Ulman versus Buck Alexander, Jimmy Farren versus Kid Lenny, Kid Boston versus Tommy Donohue, Frank-Lapp versus Young Jack Munroe and Kid Sea-ger versus Joe Tipman. Four prominent referees will officiate.

Harry Scroggs Bests Keating. New York, Jan. 2. Harry Scroggs, of Baltimore, had much the best of Billy Keating, of Philadelphia, in the star bout at Use Washington Heights Athletic Club here on Wednesday. Keating did well in the first three rounds, but in the last three he received an awful beating.

He was sent to the floor several times, and when the battle ended he was in a very groggy condition Kid Sharkey Wants To Box. Sporting Editor The Sun: Kid Sharkey, would like to meet either Young Rosenburg, Kid Thompson or Young Kelso in a preliminary in the Herman Miller benefit. Kid Sharket, Irving Athletic Club. Baltimore, Jan. 2.

Sly Old Fox Kept Them Moving. I Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Suffolk, Jan. 2. After a three days unsuccessful foxchase a party composed of several clubs consolidated this afternoon and captured one lone reynard.

There were 40 mounted men and 30 trained hounds when the hunt started, but after riding for two days without a quarry, about half of them left the ranks and were not In at the death. Homers Fly 1,200 Miles. Boston, Jan. 2. Two carrier pigeons arrived here today from Minneapolis, a distance of nearly 1,200 miles, one of them bearing a message from Mayor James C.

Haynes to Mayor John F. Fitzgerald. The birds were owned by Louis Thiel, of Rox-bury, and reached their loft at 9.16 A. having' left Minneapolis on Saturday at noon. SPORTING MISCELLANY There seems to be no end to the troubles of Garry Herrmann from a baseball point of view.

While Garry is stiU trying to select a. manager for the Cincinnati Reds, the announcement haa just been made that there will be a determined fight made in Ohio this year before the Legislature to nut a-etop to all sports on Sunday, especially baseball. If Sunday games are stopped in Porktown it will mean a serious loss to not only Herrmann's club, but also to all other clubs in the National League. Herrmann has already lost $100,000 in his baseball ventures, it is said, and just at present there seems to be little chance for him to get out of the hole. John Tighe, a well-known minor-league baseball player, has been appointed playing manager of the Hoiyoke team of the Connecticut League for 1908.

Tighe plays at first ba.se. Australia has won the first test match of the series of five cricket games which are to be played this winter with the English team now in Australia. The game was played at Sydney and extended over six playing days, from December 12 to 19. England at one time seemed to have almost won the match, for, needing 274, the Australians lost half their wickets for 95. Armstrong and Mc-Alister then made a useful stand, but the former was out at 124.

so that with only four wickets in hand the Australians still required 1-50 runs to win. The position seemed holess for the remaining batsmen, but they rose to the occasion and the match was won with two wickets to spare. The totals art England, 278 and 300; Australia, 300 and 276 for three wickets. Another veteran pugilist is coming back to the ring in the person of Jack Everhnrdt, one of the greatest lightweights in the world a dozen years ago. Everhardt has signed articles to meet Jack Graham, who has been stopping all comers around Salt Lake City, Kansas City.

Butte, Denver and other Western cities. Tne fight will take place at a New Orleans club about the middle of the month. EveThardt ha3 fought battles in England. South Africa and America, meeting all of the best men in the lightweight class. Among others was a pensational light vith Kid Lavigne for the championship, the latter scoring a knockout after 21 rounds of fighting.

Everhardt also took part in a memorable encounter with Andy Bowen at New Orleans which he won. 1 Coach Yost, of the University of Michigan, in an interview, flatly denies the charge of President Jordan, of Leland Stanford University, that Yost offered G. W. Gregory, of California, $1,500 to enter the University of Michigan. Y'ost brings forward a telegram from Gregory substantiating this denial, Jacques Mieses.

of Leipsic. the famous chess-master, played 16 games simultaneously on Wednesday against some of the best New York players. He won 13 games and lost two, the sixteenth being drawn. Pardon For Edward Walsh. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.

Hagerstown, Jan. 2. Governor Warfield has pardoned Edward Walsh, who was convicted in Hagerstown in 1906 of manslaughter and senteneedto the penitentiary for five years. The crime was committed at Frostburg and the case was removed to Washington county for trial. The petition for pardon was signed by the entire jury that found him gulltv and by Senator Rayner, B.

Number Of Teams Of This City Play The OUTDOOR WORK ALL WINTER TIle Local Elevens Will Continue Until March Amateur League May Be Formed ZVext Season. Ko game In the last year has increased more in popularity locally than has the game of soccer.

While it is played almost exclusively for the sport it furnishes players and spectators, its rapid growth in interest will doubtless in a short time cause it to assume a professional aspect. The Amateur Athletic Union has no control over the game, it being like cricket in this respect. Soccer is about the only outdoor game which is played during the" entire winter, the American game of football being a fall sport only. The local soccer clubs will play games up to and including the month of March. It is fast gaining favor among the schoolboys, and thus, as in the case of baseball, is bound to furnish feeders, and.

in time the youngsters will develop into experts who will furnish the personnel, of big teams. At present there is no major league among the big teams in Maryland, the games being interclub and intercity affairs. The leading local teams are Sons of St George, with grounds at Colgate creek Maryland Swimming Club, with grounds at Dundalk Sparrows Point, with home grounds, and Mount Washington, with home grounds. These four teams constitute the ones having senior or men players. Public Schools Xos.

47 and 42 each have teams which play on Saturday. The boys do their practicing in the school yards. Other prosperous junior teams are those of the Country School, Oakland Athletic Club and Boys' Brigade and the Ethelwood Athletic Club, the latter having grounds on the York road. One of the strongest aggregations near Baltimore Is the Caledonian team of Washington. Another is the Wilmington (Del.) Club.

Xhester, has three good teams and Eddystone, has two. In Philadelphia there are three leagues the Philadelphia League, the Cricket Club League and St. George's League. Two of these leagues play every Saturday and charge no admission to the games. One charges to witness its games.

The crack team of Philadelphia Is the Hibernians. Jn speaking of the game and Its future, Mr. Harry Rowland, who is an ardent advo cate of the game, said he did not think a local big league would be formed during the present season, and that the clubs would continue to play as they have been, though the growth In interest would naturally lead to a league formation later on. Another enthusiast, however, thought that the four big local teams should get together and form a league. This, he said, would create more interest in the sport, and would lay the foundation perhaps for an intercity league next season.

BASKETBALL PLAYERS York Reserves, 32; Govanstown, 4. The Govanstown Y. M. C. A.

basketball team was defeated Wednesday afternoon on its home floor by the York Y. M. C. A. Reserves by 32 to 4.

Both teams did excellent work. The Govanstown boys claim that the reason they were defeated was because they were outweighed and that the plavers from York were older and more experienced. At the end of the first half the score was 14 to 2. The line-up was: York. Position.

Govanstown. Forward McAfee Stary Forward Shultz Barnes Center Vaughn Bond Guard Matthews Germon Guard. Field Goals Cole (7), Stark (2), Barnes (4), Bond (5). Germon, McAfee and Shultz. Time of halves 20 minutes.

Eagles To Play Artillerymen. The Eagles will have as their opponents Saturday night at Cross Street Hall the First Coast Artillery basketball team. This will be the first game the Eagles have played for a month owing to illness of several of their players. There will be a preliminary game between Federals and Sterlings. The Eagles are desirous of arranging games with the Silent Five, Clovers and Rambles.

Harness racing in Austria is a popular sport now, and large sums of money are offered in stakes by the various trotting associations. The Austrian Association alone offers more than $106,000, and this is for stakes alone, and does not include the large sum distributed in purse races.

Almost an equal amount is distributed annually the Baden and Budapest Trotting Associ. lions combined. In this list should also be considered the Provincian Association, which distributes more than yearly, almost the whole amount going to small native breeders, and is intended directly for the further improvement of trotting-bred horses in the country districts. The Government, too, offers valuable prizes for the advancement of the breeding industry. The American drivers had great success last year.

Ira Ryerson tops the entire list of winning drivers by 51 straight wins, while Dan Keefe stands second in the list by 40 wins. The Austrian driver, Elderer, stands third with 55 winning races and is followed by three Yankees B. Tappen, 33; Jim Brown, 29, and Andy McDowell, 16. Other Americans who have done fairly well on the turf are John Armstrong, George Bodimer, A. C.

Pennock, George Nelson and Ed Switzer. Taking the entire season, American drivers won nearly 60 per cent, of the total races. Ira Ryerson has severed his connection with the Wienerwald Stock Farm and has signed a contract to train and drive for another noted breeding establishment, the Sharova Stock Farm, which contains good enough racing material to again put Ryerson at the top of the winning list in 1908.

Although the salary paid Dy lveene iu as trainer is necessarily known to only the two persons most concerned, it is matter of common gossip that it is not less than $12,000 annually, and this, aodeci to the usual 10 ner cent, of gross winnings made Rowe's earnings last year at least S52.OO0. says the.

Philadelphia Record. Besides this, there has usually been an ar rangement that a percentage of the money realized by the sale of horses in training filso is included in the trainer's compensa lion. This would add about $3,000 more, to that the erstwhile Virginia employe of Col. David McDaniel this year earns more than is pair! to the President of the Unit ed States. The latter, by the way, works no harder in his especial vocation than does Rowe or any other first-classtrainer with $500,000 worth of race horses under liis immediate care each season.

Vigil and Brother, in of 18T6 first drew attention to the ambitious char acter of their turf plans.

Rowe resigned from employment with the Dwyers in 1SS5 and for a time was a free-lance trainer. He owned a few horses himself, trained a little for L. O. Applebv, and about the year 18S7 he acted as start er. This was at the old Benning track, where a three weeks' race meeting was carried on with about 100 horses to make uo the fields.

Then came an oDnortunitv to handle the stable of the first August Belmont, and Rowe made a great success of that. The eath cf Mr. Belmont in 1890, due to a cold contracted at the Horse Show, again put Rowe on the market, though net for long, as he became starter for the Board of Control and acted as steward at the old Day District track, at San Francisco.

Special' Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Hagerstown. Mi, Jan. 2. Daniel Low-ery, of near Waynesboro, had an adventure with two highwaymen last evening as he was driving from Hagerstown to his home, in which the highwaymen got the worst of it.

One mile north of this city he overtook two strangers, who stopped his horse and asked him to take them in his carriage. Mr. Lowery invited them to ride with him, but it was not long before he became suspicious. One of the men proposed that they stop along the road and play a game of cards, making the suggestion that they build a fire. Mr.

Lowery pretended that he would fall in with their plans and stopped the horse. One of the men got out, and as the other man was climbing from the carriage Mr. Lowery surprised them by suddenly knocking him on the head and whipping up the horse. The prostrate man's feet caught in the wheels and he was dragged some distance. He got up and both he and his companion drew revolvers and opened fire on Mr.

Lowery as he drove rapidly away. One ball went through his hat and other bullets whistled by his head. Harry Wyand and wife, who live on the John Leiter farm, near Boonsboro. started to drive last night to Boonsboro, when their horse was grabbed by two men who had hidden in the shadows along the road, near Boonsboro. One of the men drew his pistol and leveled It at Mr.

Wyand and demanded his money and valuables. For answer Mr. Wyand applied the whip to the horse, which, plunging, freed itself from the highwaymen's grip. Mr. Wyand drove into Boonsboro, procured an officer and instituted a search, but no trace of the would-be robbers was found.

The general merchandise store of Charles L. Smith, at McCay's Ferry, Washington county, was entered by burglars some time last night and a quantity of goods, Including 30 pairs of shoes, a lot of overalls and a small amount of money, were carried off.
