Athletic Board of the University Amends Sans Kales aad Adopts Others.

The athletic board at the University of Chi oago yesterday took final action on the rules adopted by the college president Jan. 11 The action Is conditional on the general acceptance of the rules by the six colleges renreaeatea at the presidents' meeting Purdue. Illinois, Wisconsin. Northwestera, Lake Forest, and Chicago. Until so adorned they are inoperative so far as Chicago is concerned.

Rules 1, 3. 4. 6, 7. 0. and 11 are adopted unchanged.

To rule 5. which relates to profes sionals and which Northwestern postponed until Sept. 1, a clause Is added requiring it to go into effect at once. Rules 8 and 10. as adopted by the presidents, forbade any games with other than college phvyonv.

These were changed so mat they will only apply to football games. An additional rule Is recommended to the effect that a committee be appointed consisting of one member from each college to consider ail cases of alleged pro fessionalism. A committee of the board, con-islipg of Professors htagg. R. F.

Harper. O. G. Thatcher. D.

Buck, and Franklin Johnson. was named tn draw up a set of rules to govern the action of the university in ainieiics irrespective of the positions taken by other colleges. Captain Allen and Wyanl will be disbarred from playing football next fall on account of the time limit, as each will have been three years In the divinity school this spring It Is likely that the rules drawn up by the committee of the athletic board will practically be the same as those of the Amateur Athletic Union, except that the coaching of football teams will not be prohibited. This concession will be made in order to encourage the development of football among the Western high schools and colleges. fLIES A NEW FLAG.

Catlio Boat Clnb t-DforU the Amateur Oarsmen's' Peonaat, On last Thursday there waved from the flagstaff of the Catlta Boat Club the Brst flag which Is In the shape of a pennant that was made to represent the Natiocal Association of Amateur Oarsmen. A few years ago Commodore Catlin. of this city, and who is also vice president of the National Association, brought before a committee of the association che necessity of having a Hag to represent the Nalloaal Association. At a meeting of this association last January In New York city this Bag was adopted, and in due time every local boat club that is a member of the National Association will receive one of these flags The Dag differs from any among the thousands of pennants adopted by different CaTLI CLXB SIW COLORS, associations and clubs, and to look over the numerous emblems in bunting and to ueslgn one that would differ from all others, as well as hay Inr a nleastns design was no easy task. The dimension of the flag is feet wide by 9 feel long.

A blue stripe 2 feet wide runs through the center, with a red stripe feet wide on either side of the blue stripe: the letters N. A. A O. are worked la white on the blue stripe in block letters, thereby giving the national colors, red. white, and blue.

The club feels very proud at being honored with the first nag made by the national associ ation, and Commodore Catlin lee is equally nroud of being the originator 01 the Idea Avery and Griffiths, the Catlin fast double. have been in tne gymnasium for several weeks and will be out in their shell as soon as the weather will permit. A wumber of new men will appear from the club this season, and no doubt they will be wen ironi wnen ine season enda ST. rACL AGAINST CHICAGO. Efforts Being Made to Bring About a Bowl, lag Match Between the 1 wo Cities.

An effort is being made to arrange a bowling contest between Chicago and St Paul bowlers. Tom Foley, the veteran billiard 1st, who Is now located at Su Paul, has been enthusiastic in favor of the project for some time past, but It has been difficult to awaken the necessary en thusiasm for the project in this city. The recent contests between the Plaza and the North Shore Bowling clubs has stirred tip a wonderful in terest in bowling, however, and W. V. Thompson, proprietor of the Plaza bowling alley at North avenue and Clark street, wrote to the Branswick-Balke-Colleoder Company a few days ago.

elating that he was willing to back a team from Chicago against team from St. PauL In his letter Mr. Thompson says: "i am prepared to accept any ch alienee Mr. Foley may issue for single team or club bowling and will cover any amount Mr. Foley wants to put up to contest for." The proposition was forwarded to Mr.

Foley, and in reDlv he has written to the eomnsnv re ferred to. tn which be aays: We will enter a regular club team of from six to ten men under 'any fair regulations. As to the manner ot play and otherwise, should their game and way of playing be different from ours, we will play two games In Chicago, one at their style and one at ours, and the same in St PauL Let the team having the greater number of pins down in the four games oe the winner. We can draw lots or toss to see whether the first series be played in St. Paul or Chicago, both series to be played within a reasonable time after arranging for them." It was suggested that the company of which Mr.

M. Bensinger is president should offer a championship trophy, and that gentleman has signified his willingness to accept the suggestion. A great many details as to width of alleys, size of pins, their height and diameter, sixe of diamond from center to center of spots, and whether plain or finger balls are to be used, will have to be discussed and decided before the match is finally consummated. The St. Paul people do not take kindly to the idea ot a money cotta ide ration to be played for by lbs teams.

Foley says that those wbo would participate from his city are business men. who would take part ia the contest simply for the pleasure to be obtained and the honor, if possible, of scouring the chamntouship for St Paul. He. thinks, however, that the losing team should pay the hotel bills and railroad fares of the winners. This, in his opinion, should be all the actual money conaideratton Involved In the match between tbe two cities.

Whatever the individual members of the teams or their friends might choose to do with regard to wagers between themselves would, of course, not enter into the contest. Mr. Thompson will notify tbe Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company as to his views in a feer days, and if Mr. Foley's Ideas are acceptable a match betweea St. Paul aad Chicago will undoubtedly result.

It will be the first important bowling contest ever held la this section of the country, and will doubtless do much toward popularizing an amusement which quite fashionable ia the East, and a pastime greatly enjoyed, sot only by the sterner sex. but also many ladies. reUowsWp Bawling Clnb.

Chairman Gideon Issues His First Official Bulletin. RULES WILL BE ENFORCED. Disciplining Negligence and Encouraging Obedience. Candidates for Position of Official Referee Discussed -Zimmerman and Erwin Write a Book. The saying- that a new broom sweeps elcan is as true as it is old and no new broom ever swept cleaaer than will the one now holding' the office of chairman of the National Bacing; Board if his first act is to be taken as a criterion.

Mr. Gideon has served so many years in racing board work that he needs no preliminary training- before beg-inninr the duties ef chairman and in buckling- on the harness of the leader has started out with a dash that will cause every one interested in racing" affairs to look sharp. Gideon is a man who never did, and probably never will, care a saap for criticism. If he believes thing-is rifrht he will do it regardless of whether others like it or not, fact that racing men aad race promoters who do not obey the rales are likely to discover to their disadvantage. The new chairman has Just issued his first official bulletin, in -which he announces his Intentions as follows: In taking up the duties of the office so long and so ably directed -by Mr.

Raymond, the new chairman understands thoroughly the immensity and difficulty ot the work, its responsibility, and the extreme improbability of any man making so complete a success of the office as has our honored ex-chairman. The present incumbent promises faithfully to do his best more is tm-possl ble. To the racing men we can only say that the racing rules of the League of American Wheelmen shall be enforced to the letter so far as it is in our power, both for and against tue rider. As an old racing man the writer has every sympathy for those who compete honestly and fairly upon the cycle path, and a corresponding eon-tempt for such as masquerade under false colors. Remember that while there is always recourse la due form to the racing board for any injustice done upon the track, no two wrongs ever make a right.

We ask the 00-0 Deration and confidence of riders, officials, and race promoters, given which a successful raciag season is at once assured. Will Coma maud Attenttow. This mav be taken as a definite announcement of the manner lu which tbe new chair-ran intends running tbe office, as his statement plainly indicates his desire to be fair with every one. but at the same time keep a sharp lookout for any violations of tbe rules, and when such are detected make it bard for the offender. Since his appointment ten days aro he has suspended three class A men pending- investigation into their amateur status, announced that five clubs which held race meets last year will not be atrain granted sanction, because of their failure to produce prises offered, and suspended tbe sanction privilege from twenty other clnbs until such time as they shall render reports to tbe board regarding tbeir meets of iast year.

Tbe last named offense is a frequent one, aad the determination of Mr. Gideon to make aa example at this time, when it will not seriously interfere with tbe holding of meets, shows that he Intends Ibut tbe rules shall be rigidly lived up to by every one. Tne board requires that each cl-ib holding a race meet shall within a reasonable time send in a marked copy of the official programme, showing the winners of each race, their handicap marks, and the time in whicn each heal was won. so that there may be kept on Ble complete Information regarding each event held during the season. Many clubs have been negligent in this respect, and others w.ll doubtless be blacklisted as soon as the records can be fully examined.

Now that the chairman of the racing board has been appointed, and the probability that nearly ail of the old members of last year's board will be reappointed. Mr. Raymond, of course, excepted, seems so certain aa to cause no speculation sa to these offloee. Interest centers in the selection of tbe new official referee. QasllAcaUoaa of a Model Beferee.

Whoever ia chosen for this position must of necessity be a man of good executive ability, something of a diplomat, of sound judgment, good common sense, with ability to think and act quickly when a knotty question is to be decided, and with a backbone so stiff and straight that nothing on earth can move him when once he has rendered aa opinion. Notwithstanding the great number of race meets really competent officials are a rarity- Clubs promoting tuoruamenls generally consider a track position as aa honorary one. and Instead of searching for men to fill the positions aa referee, judges, timers, etc. who have had experience and are fully acquainted with tee datios, ask club men, eily officials, ar others whom they wish to favor or expect favors from, thus gelling; men who are perhaps familiar with racing from a spectator's standpoint, but totally Ignorant of the practical management necessary. Raring is now ot so much importance that competent officials are an absolute necessity.

It is. of course, impossible for the league to employ these, but ia securing a competent man to act as referee at all national circuit meets, tbe most important of tbe year, a step forward will have been made. When all goes well the referee has little to do. but once let a dispute arise and he becomes the most important man on the track in reality as well as la title. Then he must act quickly, impartially, and correctly.

In case of a spill, foul riding, false start, or any trouble ot a similar nature be is tbe final judge of what shall be done ia the matter. Be must know tee ruses by heart, be prepared to meet any emergency, and decide at once, for not only tbe racing men are interested, but up in the graadstand ait Hundreds of spectators ready in a moment to pass judgment on the whole affair and who will quickly vent their disapproval if the decision is wrong or if a complicated matter is not clearly explained. For this reason the referee must be a clear, cool-headed man. aad, combined with the other abilities necessary, will be bard to find. Two men have been prominently mentioned for the position, but there ia no probability that either will be accepted.

Mnrphy Will Hardly Do. One of these is W. F. Murphy, the old-time racing man. who is very anxious to obtain the appointment, and whose friends have Deea actively circulating a oetition asking that he be given the position.

Murphy's chances are, however, so slim thst he would best retire gracefully from the field while there la yet time, for be would hardly fill the bUL The other is O. Bunnell, who was official referee of tbe short-lived cash prise league, a man whose Impartiality aad fairness could never be questioned, but whose antagonism to the I A. W. exhibited through Ms connection with the professional organixatioa would probably debar him from consideredon. Several delegates who were in attendance at the New York meeting have been questioned as te who would probably receive the appointment aad tbeir ideas seem to point is aa entirely different direction.

Certain it is that one ana who was present at that gathering as a spectator would have tbe support ot all who knew him, and if he would accept the appointment strong effort would be made te secure it for him. Bis name Is Fred Jenkins. Be was a few years hack a prominent man la wheel affairs and dabbled ia cycling journalism. Then he look to real estate rneculation and made fortune, dropping out of cycling life almost entirely as a worker, but his record has not been forgot tea and, as be Is said ha far mad awav the best man that could be secured for tbe position, his name will undoubtedly be brought te the attention of Chairman Gideon, I Its fjaefauess xiox uan, Such critics as have takes occasion to say that the ltsraa of American Wheelmen had outlived lu nsef alnesa because of the fact that the membership decreased ia numbers last rear are certainly not well posted on current topics. The L.

A. W. not only has need for a greatly increased membership, but it has yet before tt much Important work. It is true that individual wheelmea ao not see as much aeed of Joining aa they aid ia the days when it was actually necessary for them to fight for their rights, but the time has not yet coma when the organization eaa he diaoeased with. It Is because of this great body and the influence that It has wielded that wheelmen hare been accorded the erigbi which they aow ea joy an that the Interests ef the port have been so -rapidly wdvaaeed ia every way.

The league has feed lu troubles, aa any other organization has. at titnee, hut it has passed through them all aafely and it will Soon nans the crisis of the present disturbance. It was only natural that the membership should decrease daring a period of aulmisal beslaese depressioa, wnen, as we sua aims, xae organs cation was nnfortunale enough to lose iu weekly official ergaa, which had always been oaa of the greatest inducements to membership. President WiUiaoa has predicted that withbv the next year the roll will be increased at least over aad above the preseat mtss-ZtrTS wm that as will not consider that he has filled the office ia aa aeeeptibie manner unless this is brought Si-', of was Mae af the emaisaUoa eaa perhaps he snore tally appreciated by Ue sjeeeesity of main- waecimeas iigBts aass fear diaerewt States during the past two or three weeks.

Carolina bills have been introduced into the respective SUM Legislatures making tt compulsory tor wheelmen to dhtmoonl whenever meeting other vehicles drawa by horses" and remain standing entil the same has passed by, aad In New York several hills have been Introduced which, if passed, would limit the privileges of wheelmea to such aa extent as to almost prohibit riding altogether. Of course It is not expected thst aay such extreme measures will be taken. Wheelmea are not Uriiut in colonial times and even in a bute Legislature there are some men who have enough common sense 10 fear the wheelmen's votes, even If they have ne better reasons for opposing such fossilised actions; but the necessity lor organised action is always apparent, while the opportunities for the general advancement of cyclers' Intereatt are so frequently offered that the league haa always soma forward movement on hind. Besides, the great work of road Improvement, which has ever bees a leading object of the organization, needs further development and and this la itself has been aa enormous boon to riders generally, for the work and Influence of the A.

Tbe present winter haa been ao much more severe than any for years past that cycling haa been at almost a complete standstill. In the clubhouses will be lound dozens of aew machines, delivered, perhaps, weeks sinee, but which the owners have not yet had aa opportunity to try. unless sufficiently enthusiastic to brave zeroweather. wind, and mud.

Hundreds of nders are looking forward impatiently to tne first perfect Sunday, and should today be pleasant it is safe to -aay that there will be a small army on the roads and boulevards eurroaading the city, even if the enow ia still piled high in many places. The butterfly ridar may be content to wait for mild spring weather, but the average man who goes not to either extreme yearns for the first bright dsy with ail tbe eagerness of a leashed hound watting for a chance at the game.

FOR BILLY WILLIAMS' WIDOW. Beaeflt te Be Givan at the Wavsrly Theater Next Saturday Sight.

His death, which oc curred last November, was a snock to the entire fraternity, as the fact that he was ill was not knownven to his wtfe and to but very few of his intimate friends.

He died friendless and alone in the pestuouse of black smallpox, and waa burled at Oak woods Cemetery, far from the land of his birth, for Billy waa a Birmingham lad who had come to America in search of fame and fortune. both of which were denied htm.

HOW HE BECAME A JOCKEY He Was Left at th3 J3t on His Maiden Mount Trained and Exercised Iroquois for the Derby Won by the American Horse in England. Bnt very few people ia this country know that John A. Coleman, the comedian with William A. Brady's 'Old Glory" Company, was, Ive years eg-o, the best-known lightweight Jockey tn Englaad. Such, however, Is a fact, aad it nay be of Interest to recall part of bis life.

Coleman was bora In Birmlnrham, Eng-land, twenty-six years ago. At the age of 6 years he was Uken to Liverpool, aad for the next four years appeared ia children's parts in the Adelphl Theater In that city. While playing at the Adelphl young- Coleman displayed a greet fondness for horses. A frequent patron of the amusement place was the noted Enj-Hsh trainer and horse owner. Matt Dawson, who soon formed a stronr attachment for tbe lad, whose small statare and remarkably light weight soon brought a proposal from his admirer to go into training for the turf.

As soon as Coleman had trained down to form and weight he was placed ander tbe guidance of England's late fsmous jockey, Fred Archer. After spending two years at Newmarket with Archer Coleman was granted a license to ride. He secured bis first mount at tbe famous old Hampton Park racing coarse. Just onUide of London, coming to the post on tbe -mare Lady Belle. There was a large bunch for the start, and to use Coleman's own words, "When tbe flag fell for the start there was a mare left at tbe post, and that mare was Lady Belle." Archer Eacoa raged Coleman expected to sacrifice all future mounta, bat Archer, patting bint on the said: -Don't be uneasy, my hoy, you will ride the aame horse-, tomorrow." As soon as the bookmakers saw Colemaa's name ap to ride Lady Belie ia the second dsy's race odds of, 30 to 1 were laid against him.

bnt he won the race, and it waa rumored in the betting ring thst there was something crooked bout the race. Coleman was accordingly called before tbe judgea, and, after quea-tioning him for several minutes, one of tbe Judges said: "That boy knows a thins; or two, and we bad better krep our eyes upon him." Coleman told Dawson w'hat the Judges had said to him. aaJ was told to taks no notice of what people remarked, but to obey orders and he would never get Into trouble. At the conclusion ot tbe Hampton Park meet Coleman went with the stable to N'ewcaslle-oa-Tync Ia the Newcastle handicap he came to the past 00 Lowminster. Archer being up on the favorite.

Oawsoa bad instructed Coleman te keep close to Archer. Everything went well until tbe bend at the head of the stretch was reached. Here Archer interfered aad Cotemaa was He was knocked iaaensible by tbe fall, but he had obeyed orders. From Newcas-tle-on-Tyoe Coleman was dispatched to Scotland, where he rode (or the Ouch-ess of Montrose. His first mount for the Duchess was Stralhblaae In the yearly Tsm U'Sbanter band lean.

He rode the horse to the post a winner, and, besides securing the handsome purse, won for the lady the renowned Ayrshire gold cup. His next appearance In a prominent race was at Liverpool, whea he rode the closest second ever recorded before or since In the great Liverpool cup race. At Manchester be won tbe Detrofford handicap a few weeks later, riding Lawmlnsur. He concluded tbe season's winnings bv adding te bis list the UnshUn handicap. He rode In that event the famous Tommy Tittlemouse.

The next three years Cotemaa was with Dawson as principal jigbtweight jockey. t'alemaa Handled Iroquois. It waa daring thst engagement that the young man displayed his wonderful training qualities, and to his careful exercising and training ot the wonderful Americas horse, Iroquois. attributed Archer's ability to win the memorable lfcol Knrilsh Derby. After the Derby event Coleman wss seat to Pour Oaks Park.

and won both ot bis mounts the last day. Nothing similar has beea credited aay other Jockey In the world. As a takes of appvecUUon he waa tendered a testimonial the Duchess of Montrose, oa which occasion the Duchess presented htm with gold -whip aad spurs. From Four Oaks Coleman went to Don-caster, where he contracted rheumatic fever from belay forced to stand at the post ia a blinding rain, aad was eon lined 10 his bed for three months. He did not ride again until the following season.

Luck seemed to be sgslcst him from that time oa. He opened at Hampton Park, and oat ef seven mounts only succeeded In landing one winner. Shortly afterward, while riding In the Pour Oaks handicap at Birmingham, he was throws from his horse ia the stretek aad hart very seriously. From the ef -fecu of that accident he spent seven months ia the hospital Stewed with -Lacfcry" Bald aria. As soon aa he recovered sufficiently te leave the doctor's care he signed contract with the well-known Amertoaa horse ewaer, "Lucky" Baldwin, to leave England and eocne to America.

That was live years ago. Whea slewing with Baldwin Colemaa agreed to ride at So pounds, but found after training down 10 weight that he was so wea is was impossible for him -tetania the saddle. Feeling that he can id not do Justice to Mr. Baldwin Colemaa asked to be released. This request waa granted, and the Jockey at once went East to New York city.

Finding that he could not ride aay more for the time being, be made up his mind to go Into the ahow business again. Tony Pastor heard of him and made him sa offer, which he accepted, remaining with Mr. Pastor for the balance of the season doing a song and dance. In the meantime Messrs. Bich aad Harris recognized his abilities aa a Aral class comedian, aad accordingly the next four seasons found him traveling the country under their management.

At the beginning of the present season Mr. Colemaa associated himself with William A.
