Marlon.

April very handsome silver trophy cup, said to be valued at 3600, was shipped from Marlon Thursday to Racine, Wis. The cup was consigned to William Horlick. Unusual as it may seem, Mr. Horlick has twice sent the cup Into Indiana to remain, under certain conditions, and twice these conditions have been violated bv the up of the Western Holler' Polo league The cup has an interesting history. It was manufactured In the days when Racine was prominent In roller polo.

Mr. Horlick offered the cup to the team winning the pennant, and any team carrying off the honors three years in succession was to have the cup for keeps. But the Michigan and Wisconsin polo circuit was broken up before the cup became the property of any one team. Then it was sent Into Indiana to follow the fortunes of the old Western league, it was held one season by Richmond. Then came the fateful season of ISO4- 05, when the league broke tip and was absorbed by the Central Holler Polo league.

At that time Marion and Richmond were fighting for the top. with Marion in the lead, hut Richmond hurriedly sent the, cup hack to Horlick before any decision was reached regarding the pennant winners of the league, or whether any account should be tuken of the race that season. The cup was never offered In the Central league nice, but when It was announced tills season that four Indiana cities were to play for the world's honors In roller polo, Mr Horlick gladly sent the cup Into Indiana to llnd a permanent home. It was exhibited In the four cities, but after two and one-half weeks the league suddenly broke ll" with honors even between Marlon and I.ogansport. It was another "do fall' and the malingers of the defunct league regarded that the proper thing was to send the cup again to Mr.

SPORTING NOTES Stanley Robtson, of the Cardinals, distributed $2,460 among his plavers as a reward for the winning of the spline series with the Browns. Each player received 1100 and Manager McCloskey got $:50. President Hedges had promised the Browns $50 apiece if they won.

Manager Ned Hanlon and President Garry Herrmann, of the Reda, have reached an agreement In regards to Kd-dle Tlemeyer, the clever utility Inhelder of the Cincinnati team, and he will be turned over to Eddie Ashenback, the Cincinnati boy who is now managing the St, Paul American association team. Now that Bill Squires, the heavy weight wonder from Australia, has arrived on American soil, things In the pugilistic heavy-weight division are liable to happen shortly. In an interview with big Jim Jefleries he stated that If Squires whips the men who are considered top notchcrs in present-dav heavy-weight division he would go into training and fight Squires. Billy Nolan, manager of Battling Nelson, and one of the best posted men on boxing In the west, thinks that Champion Jim Jcfferies Is a dead one to the pugilistic game. Nolan believes that If JeiT was to fight Jin O'Brien, the Philadelphia boxer would lick him to a certainty.

Oh, Joy! James J. Corbett says: "Gans, in mv opinion, is the greatest fighter of the present age. He has both skill and power, a heady fighter, and knows how to give and take a punch. I don't hesitate to say that Oans, If pitted against any of the middle weights of to-dav, would come out a winner. In the heavyweight division we have James Jefferlcs, the present undisputed champion, and Mike Schreck.

Here is a hardy young fellow of undoubted courage and ability, with a good wallop in either hand and an excellent chance to become the next champion of the world." wlary which he says is paid to many minor league performers. He has decided to abandon the profession which made famous his hrothers-Kd. Joe, Tom and Jim. Therefore he lias taken up th study of medicine at a school near Cleveland. The laws of organized baseball follow him even there and cut off a source of income.

Delehanty wants permission to play exhibition games once or twice a week with an Inoependent team at tsan-dusky. O. This would materially assist him hut baseball law Interposes. The bandusky team will plav exhibitions with National and American league clubs. If an Independent team harbors a plaver under reserve to another club no club operating under the national agreement can book games with it.

Delehantv therefore will not be available for Sandusky unless Clark Griffith so will it. It's baseball law. HAMMER THROWING RECORD heo 3. Talbot Throws 12-Pounder 190 Fet 9 InctKg. Princeton.

Houseman, manager of tiie local mixer, yesterday posted two to bind a match with the foreigner, the same to go as part of a $5,000 wager that Root can defeat Squires.

"We were attracted by a Salvation army meeting on one of the street corners. You can Imagine our amasemeut when he recognised Hob Unglaub holding the base drum, and our surprise nearly knocked us down when he got Into the mlddla of the circle and told his experience.

When he told that he was in a degrading business baseball-and that be encountered many temptations, it was hard to keep some of the boys from going after him. Fortunately lie never told what team he was a member of or he might have been lynched.

The first week of the championship season In the two big league haB been anythlriK but satisfac tory either from a financial or from an artistic, point of view. The cold weather has either caused a postponement of games, or haa cut down the attendance so lamentably that nearly every club on the two big circuits haa lost monev a the result of opening the season early. Hers In Cincinnati the first Hunday game URually the bent paying of the season-was prevented by cold weather. In Chicago the usual crowd wai cut down by about half, and In HI. Louis equally bad conditions prevailed.

In the matter of artistic merit, none of the teams hav! been able to show their right form because of the weather handicap. The Karnes played fur lead one to believe that the ilaht In both the National and American league will be hotter tills season than luat; still, II will require three or four weeks for the various teams to roach their best excellence and then look for some heavy spurting and some equally heavy collapsing. HF.MKVK RK1M ST RON Here 111 Cincinnati the Impression prevails that the Keds are stronger this sea-eon than they have been In year. This belief la based on the work done by the team In the few games that have been possible on the local diamond. It seems that the club has corralrri more than the usual 20 per cent of good men In the bunch who were secured from the minors, KrtiKcr, Mitchell, Kwne, Imvls and Mason having so fur proved their fitness for fust society, with several of the others showing exceedingly promising form.

Kane appears to be the real llnd of the party. Ills work at third during the absence of Hans wag llltlo short of phenomenal, especially when I one considers that the position was a new one to him. lie has been hitting like a fiend: running banes like a centaur1 and putting up a grand game on the Inside. It la plain that a mlHtuke will be made If he Is not played regularly after Lobert gets back Into the game. ONE FEATURE One of the Joyful feature of the Reds' early gamea was the form shown hv Pitcher Del Mason In his work against the St.

Louis team last Monday. Mason reported to Manager Ilanlon last fall, all tlrod out from a strenuous campaign with the Baltimore team. Under the circumstances his showln wag not of the best. But this spring he is going right, and It was apparent after the first game that he bud come Into the big league to stay. Hob Kwtng.

too, look belter than In rears; and with the new man, Hltt, performing up to dope, and one or two others doing things extra-ordinary on the rubber, the local pitching staff. Instead of being the weakest In the bualDeaa, will be one of the strongest.
