6 THE WINNIPEG TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 3, 1908. Latest in Sporting World Lome Campbell Pays Jligh Tribute to the Late Wanderer. "Aa far as the position of cover jx.lnt l.i concerned, I don't think anyone hag ever shown tho same iiialltiea In this position us the lute Hod rituart. in comparing the famous hockey players who have won renown, both past and present, at cover point, 1 feel rlrmly convinced the late lamented Hod stood head and shoulders above the entire list Those that 1 have not piayed with or against in the past decade, I have seen in action, and out of the number I would not choose one vhom 1 think equals the big fellow, who used to glide along with unerring purpose" The foregoing was said by IiOrna Campbell last season with the Houghton In club, and one of the present day generation of clever stick handlers. Campbell Is with the Maple Leafs, and speaking further of Hod, he remarked: "Hod was not only a good atlckhan-dler, but he was one of the best generals In tho game and his plan of action was generally disastrous to the opposing septette.

'or a big man I think he was the speediest that ever drew on a pair of skates to play hockey. To many spectators he appeared slow but In this they were wrong as it was his peculiar stroke that gave him this appearance. Another feature which had a great deal to do with his success vas hla long reach, HARD MAN TO STOP. "He vu not of the old class of cov er-points, who considered their part of the play meioly to check their man or feecure the puck and shoot It to the other end of the rink. This was not Hod's style by any means, as his strongest olaving was to get the rub ber and take it down to the opponents' nets, and generally he succeeded as he ivm tha most dlfllcult man on tne ice to stop.

Another notable event in his playing was that he was ever willing to advance team-play and many times when he had taken the puck down the lea with exce lent chances of scoring a goal single-handed, he would pass so as to make the opportunity more sure, "Hod also contributed no little to advancing the game In the United states and thouch his name was mix ed up in many exhibitions of brutal hockey he was more sinned against than sinning, and was not a dirty play er bv any means. Besides being able to nlav the game. Hod was able to take care. of himself on the Ice, and those stories about him going Into game with the only thought of laying some player out were pure fiction. He was laid out many times himself as invariably the entire opposing team would mark him A curious feature wns the large number of times he was Injured between the thumbs and first lingers.

These injuries oiten incapacitated hlin and as a means of protection he devised a glove so padded that a crack on this part of the hand had no effect. He secured a patent for this r.i..A anA ninvarg In tha International league found a great boon In It. 'Poor Hod! I am afraid his loss will be an Irreapraoie one 10 nouaey aim that it will be a long time before his equal will be seen. He was popular with players and was the best man I eer played with to get the most out cf plavers. If any little quarrel that arose Hod -was the person to straighten it out.

Oft the Ice he was a perfect gentleman and I am sure his loss will be most keenlv felt In Montreal and in hockey circles generally." The Hod Stuart beenflt March takes place on Thursday, January 2, at the Arena. BONSPIEL AT REGIE Oneni ins of Class Com- A. pet itions at Grauite and Thistles.

SEEN FROM THE PRESS, STAND Baseball in Australia and the kindred colonies Is getting something; of a bold upon the people, If one may draw Inference from the space devoted to It In the leading sporting papers of the antipodean cities.

Of course, as yet the game Is only In Its infancy there, but It 1b a husky youngster, and those who are nursing It along 'opes that hit will some dye be a full twin brother to the natural game, rugby." Of course, those In charge feel that tutelage at the hands of American players would help their game Immensely, as witness this note from the 'Sydney Referee: "It Is trusted that two associations will take up the question of bringing an American team to Australia at an early date. Such a visit would give the game a much needed lift out here." 'Ere'a hanother little hextract taklt awy: "Victoria's outfielders seemed slow at moving the ball, Mansfield making a few bad Kemp did not bustlo for the It wouldn't be baseball without trouble with the umpire, as related In the following: "The Victorians showed a tendency to argue the point with the umpire. Play to the umpire's decision will pay better. The Victorian's coach nearly caused trouble In barracking the pitcher Instead of devoting his attention to the base runner. And If W.

G. Ingleton had been tagged when he walked from first to second he would have had his own coach to blame. As It was, he was lucky In being allowed to go back to first" P. H. Winning good name for a player seems to be one of the stars.

Some of his exploits are told here: was very. lively on the bases, and more of his dodging and tricky manoeuvres between bases, If shown by other players, would be appreciated. He also made three beautiful bunt hits which disconcerted the infielders. His clubmates, S. McCoy and H.

Pratt, batted and fielded splendidly and made few errors, Pratt made one beautiful sneak home on the catcher's throw, the third man In the bird cage allowing the baserun-ner to get too big a lead." One of the reasons for encouraging baseball Is that It helps the cricketers. Read this testimony: "Baseball ndoubtedly helps towards good fielding and catching at cricket, and should be given every encouragement by the 'flanneled fools." There Is some class to the attendance at the games, too: "His excellency state governor, has promised to be present at next Saturday's game, which should be a very good one, more especially If the visitors manage to emerge victorious from today's engagement." Here's another party that looks classy: "The Victorians spent Sunday at National park enjoying themselves very much, being piloted, very carefully, by the association's honorable secretary, Mr. R. V. Mlnnett Their party totals twenty-three, and Includes a number of the fair sex." They take an Interest, too, In the scores, which Is an encouraging sign.

Heres a sample: "The daily press gave credit to L. A. Mlnnett for making a home run. This Is Incorrect. Allen should have fielded the Chatawood batsman's hit, and if a fleldman errs In not stopping or catching a ball that he should reasonably cover, It Is no home run, even though the base runner completes the clrcut" RECORDS SET IN 1907 JAX.

Danny Matter American jockey, rode his hundredth winner In England during the season nt Gratwlclt recently.

The mount on which he reached the century mark was Perslnus. This success marked his 102nd winning mount since he began to ride ln England a year ago, a record that has hardly ever been Burpassod. Mahur headed the winning Jockey list In this country ln 1898 with a total of 167 victories. It was In midsummer of 1900 that he began to ride abroad, and in the two and a half months he rode that year he scored twenty-seven wins, with a percentage of 21.04. In percentage he was beaten only by Sloan and Lester Reiff, with 26.45 and 25.85 respectively.

Back of Mahnr came Johnny Rolff with 20.63. The amazing success ot these four American riders induced the English Jockey rlub to take measures to encourage the development of native talent. In 1801 Maher rode ninety-four win ners, securing second place I nthe list, but Ids puriuiilage was 2.48, as against the 16.70 credited to Mndden, who led him In the number of winning mounts. Sloan had been obliged to quit riding In that year, and Lester Relft did not finish out the season, but the letter's percentage was slightly ahead of the Hartford boy's, the figures being 23.39 and 22.48. In 1902 Maher reached the century, riding 108 winners, which placed him third ln the list to Lane with 170, and Halsey with 115.

Maher's percentage however, was bast. The worst year Maher experienced In England was 1903, when he had only fifty-six winners, and a percentage of 18.79, due ndoubtedly to the motoring accident In which ho nearly lost his life. That was the year ln which he won the first Epsom Derby, with Rode Sand. Ho has since won the classic with Cicero and Spearmint In 1904 he had 115 winning mounts and a percentage of 24.89, standing third in tho list to Murtdnn, 161, anil Lane, 124. In 1905 Maher finished fourth with 101 winners, to Wheatley, Madden and Hlggs, his percentage being 24.67, and last year his winning mounts totalled 103, with the splendid percentage of 29.17.

finishing third to Higgs, 149, and Madden, 104. He will probably nnlah In third place again this season, but I as usual his percentage will bo very close to the top. IN Britons No Longer Laugh at linrus Since Defeat of Moir. Members of the American colony at London are having a laugh at the British spurts. The laughing was all the other way Just prior to the Bums and Molr fight, over the fact that Tommy waa such a little fellow, but another element of humor has been discovered.

In articles appearing about Nov. 16 and for ten ways thereafter, "Gunner" Moir was quoted as being sure or. victory and of wanting a match with Jeffries. It seemed reasonable for him to tell ho whe expected to beat Burns. But to read over his views of how, after that event was over, he planned to "force" Jeff Into a meeting and wrest the laurels from his brow now Is regarded as exquisitely funny by the Yankee element here.

Was Not First Surprise. Burns was not the first American to be laughed at on the othor side. It is recalled that the Britons laughed at George Lavlgne when tho Saginaw Kid went over to England ln 1896 to fight Dick Burge; the lightweight champion of that country. Burge was a tall, rangy fellow, 6 feet 8 inches, while Lavigne was only 5 feet 81 Inches. Lavlgne was 26 years old at that time, but very boyish ln appearance.

The Jacket he wore, and also the dose-cropped light hair that grew so plentifully on his hoad. The clay that Lavigne and his manager, Sam Fltzpatrlck. arrived at the National Sporting Club, none of the officers was ln, and the pair waited. Lavigne was seated In one of the high- backed Queen Anne chairs of the club and his feet did not touch the floor. Manager Fleming of the club finally arrived, snook hands with Fltzpatrlck, ana said: "Where is Lavigne?" "There," said Flu.

pointing to the kid. Fleming is Surprised. Fleming was amazed when he look ed Lavigne over, and Due Ordway.who was the matchmaker of the club at that time, was taken to task for bring ing a small boy to England to fight a champion. "Why," declared Fleming, "we shall be arrested for manslaughter. When Burge came ln and was pre sented to Lavigne he laughed ln the little fellow's face.

Fleming then insisted that as a con onion of having the bout take place that Lavigne must be kept out of sight until the night of the battle. The club officials seriously considered the ad vlsablllty of declaring the bout oft, but on the representations of Ordway and fltzpatrlck finally consented to let the boys meet In the ring, although the referee was cautioned not to per mit Burge to beat the little chap too much, an dto stop the contest If It was too one-sided. On the night of the battle the mon ocled lords and peers who are members or the club sat at the ringside and of fered 4 to 5 to 1 on Burge with takers. Then Lavigne went In and slammed the British champion all over the ring, putting him out clean In the seventeenth round. At this point the British smile had completely disap peared.

NAPS AND OLD SPIDERS Proposed to Have Veterans Play Against Present Cleveland Team.

William Jordan, an r.no-iioh imrdtaier. told a startling Btory before Jude wincnosier in mo puma innnirv this afternoon.

In this, he admitted, he participated himself, staling as an excuse that It had to be done or else he would be forced to leave the department. Hubbard nd McBride had, he swore, received plants from the commissioner, while rose trees had been sent to MoBrldo'a place. Jordan also gave Instances of where men had been paid for work that they did not do.
