Notter's rough riding tactics were again displayed. The Ellison jockey carried Red Gauntlet out from the top of the stretch until the finish, in order that Temaceo might win on the rail.

Columbia university held Its eighth annual indoor carnival and athletic sports in Madison Square Garden tonight and the fixture maintained the high standard established on former occasions. Wesleyan earned a decisive victory in the one. mile relay for colleges. Yale captured all the honors in the 1,000 yard handicap, all three places going to New Haven men. The 6,000 yard run was a one sided affair forTaylor, the colored flyer from Pennsylvania.

It was a sensational finish, though for Charlie Bacon came with a rush and pulled up to within a yard of Taylor. Sedley was a good third. Cornell won 'the two mile relay race, Dartmouth being second. MICHIGAN TO PLAY INDIANS IN GOTHAM. NEW YORK, Feb.

16. Arrangements have been under way for some time for a football game between the Carlisle Indians, and the eleven of the University of Michigan, to be played In New York next fall. They have not yet been completed, but it is extremely probable they will be, and that the red men and the Wolverines will have it out on the gridiron of the Polo grounds on the same day as the Harvard Yale game in New Haven, November 21. Pop Warner, manager and coach of the Indians, sent word to Secretary Knowles, of the New York baseball club, the other day, that it looked very much as if Michigan would agree to the game. The Indians are quite The Michigan eleven Is a stranger to these parts, but the Indians are a big card, and a game between them and the Michiganders would, be an attraction second only to a Yale Princeton, or Harvard Yale This is not the only big game that is likely to be played at the Polo grounds this year.

M'CONNELL GETS JOB IF LAPORTE FAILS TO SIGN Frank Laporte, secured by the Boston Americans from the New York Highlanders in ths deal whereby Patent went to the White Sox and Jake Stahl to the Highlanders, Is holding out for more money alonj with Jack Thoney and several other players recruited by Manager McGulre. In Boston there does not seem to be much ado over Laporte's action, for McGulre has Ambrose McConnell to fill the position at second base In case the Frenchman falls to come to terms. It was announced recently that McConnell would 1 tried at third and FIGHTER VS. WRESTLER; HOW WOULD IT RESULT Many Things Possible In a Bout Between Jeff and Hack A drizzly Vs. a Qorilla.

What would be the outcome of a battle between Champion Pugilist Jef feries and Champion Wrestler Hack ensehmidt? If they were brought face to face, Jeffries would tower above the mighty wrestler as the' grirzly above the gorilla. Hack is less than 5 feet 10 inches tall and Jeffries is 6 feet 1 1 2 Inches in his socks. He would be almost half a foot over Hack. This and his great shoulders overtopping the wrestler would make it look ridiculous, but there the difference In size shifts In favor of the "smaller" man. It is a remarkable fact that Hack's normal chest measurement is as big as the, champion fighter's even when the i latter puffs himself out to the limit of his expansion.

His chest girth is 48 inches, and Jeffries' is 44, with an expansion of 4 inches. Hack's neck is almost five inches bigger in circumference, his biceps three inches, and Jeffs long, sturdy legs seem slender beside the short; powerful pillars that support Hack's massive trunk. Jeffries, stripped, looks like nothing but what he is a great fighting machine. He would never be picked out MEASUREMENTS OF THE BRAWNY MARVELS. Hackenschmidt Jeffries.

Three Tri Staters and many players from the major leagues have taken up police duties and are superseding the every day kind of cops. Their arduous duties have called many trained athletes into the field and among these are well known ball tossirs. Jimmy Sebring, who played ball in the National league at Pittsburg, Cincinnati and Chicago, and who is now a member of the Wilmington Tri State team, has taken partly to the police job. For several years he has been deputy sheriff in his home town of Williamsport. He says he likes the work as It keeps him in practice for the baseball season.

"Chic" Hartley, the heavy hitting fielder, who was traded to Johnstown from Lancaster for Hemphill and Glendon, is another player who finds police work a comfortable occupation. "Chic" does not confine his jobs to one city, but has been a member of several police forces. "Stony" McGlynn the trio. At his old home in York he was once the terror of small boys and evil doers and wielded his mace with all the Joy which denot.is "one of the finest." He runs a skating rink in West Fairview now, but his knowledge as a criminologist will always stand him in gobd need. In the big leagues the players have changed to the wielding of the mace from the bat and those who have spent many years clubbing the bail find the change agreeable.

Take John Anderson, for example. Not long ago he rated as one the best all around men in the cuntry. He was first baseman and outfielder with the old Brooklyn team. He went to St. Louis in the American league.

He was transferred to the New York Ameri cans, then he went to the Washington Americans. Though still able to put VP a good article, he announced that he iiad decided to quit the of the diamond for the comparative quietude of the policeman's life. Still a more notable example la Rog er Bresnahan, the peppery catcher of the New York Giants. There is not a better all around man In either of the big He can catch, play the Infield or outfield, is a good hitter, daring base runner, and knows all the ins and outs of inside that there was a strong posslbllty of his getting the Job permanently. Just how.

the little fellow wold pan out there Is a question. Until last year his arm did not work right on throws from second. However, he got away at second so well last year that It was hopeu that he would be Just as good at tnird. McConnell is to make the spring trip With Boston and Mcquire rays that he will start the season w'th the team. In case Laporte does come to terms, McGulre says he will havn to prove his worth to beat McConnell out of the Job.

as a wrestling king, or the holder of medals for lifting the bar bell. His muscles are built with a view to hlt tingr, not lifting power. He, has none of the big gnarled bunches of sinew that are twisted around Hack's frame. But he has long, loose muscled arms that can move with quick killing force. Jeffs reach is Inches longer than Hack's, and in his best condition he would weigh about 25 pounds more.

Even in a rough and tumble fight the reach advantage is worth while, and the weight is invaluable in fighting, wrestling, football or any game that involves bodily contact with the opponent. It would be a brawl worth seeing. Also there would be no "tiresome clinching." About the first clinch Hack would probably break Jeffries' ribs, and then throw him down hard enough to smash a few of the remaining bones. Can you imagine what would happen to a 235 pound man if Hack hurled him into the corner angle of a room with every ounce that he could put into the effort? But while trying to get a hold, what would happen to Hack if Jeff landed on hlro as hard as he could? It has been said of Jeffries that he never yet has put his full strength into a blow in the ring. He seldom swings.

Practically all of his knockouts have been delivered with a left hook. Suppose ho were to set himself, start one from back of his knee, and meet Hack coming after him? If he landed flush on the Jawbone it would probably crush like papier mache, and the shock to the base of the skull would result In concuslon of the brain. If he hit him in the stomach or over the heart, it is 10 to 1 Hack wouldn't live 10 seconds. Ability to take "punishment" wouldn't figure In the battle, because, for some obscure reason In the scheme of things, a strong man's power to resist injury is ridiculously dlsapropor tlonate to his power to inflict. Neither of these men could for a minute bear up under the full assault of the other.

Assuming that both are "game," Hack Isn't as "tough" as Jeffries. Some time ago he decided to challenge Jeffries for the championship, and he began taking boxing lessons frcjfn Gunner Molr. He was getting on nicely until one day In a hot mix up Molr smashed him on the body and broke a rib. Hack decided that boxing is too rough a game, and the talk of his challenge dwindled down. If Moir could do that to Hack's ribs, what would one of Jeffries' pile drivers accomplish in the way of high class wreckage? (.

AMERICAN ENTRY IN FOREIGN AUTO RACE Montague Roberts, of Nevy York Will Have the Honor of Upholding This Country's Prestige. NEW YORK, Feb 15 America will after all be represented in the great race for the Grand Prix, of the Automobile club of Prance next summer as the entry of a Thomas was cabled to the French organization at Paris today. The driver to whom will be entrusted the task of upholding the prestige of America as an automobile country will be Montague Roberts of New York, who has also been selected to drive a sixty horse power Thomaa stock car in the road race fof the Briar Cliff trophy in Westchester county on April 24.

The date for the French classic has not yet been definitely settled but It is expected that Europes premier speed contest will be held on July 9. NEIL HAS LOST HIS LEFT HOOK. CLEVELAND, Feb. 15. fFrankle Neil, who quit in the thirteenth round in his bout with Abe Attell Friday night," used to be a dangerous man because of a vlcous left hook to the body which carried tremendous force and Invariably laid out Its victim when it landed.

With this blow he knocked out Harry Forbes on three separate occasions. If Neil still possesses ttie bunch be certainly is not without a good, fair chance of whipping it over on Abey and winning a fight there and then. But there are few who believe that Neil retains It. The last time he used It was on ill fated night of February 28, 1906, and Harry Tenny Was carried from the ring unconscious, dying a few hours later. Neil was held for manslaughter, and exonerated.

But since that night no goddess of fortune has deigned, to smile on his suit Since that night when poor Tenny was borne to his deathbed, Frankie Neil has fought four times and suffered defeat four times. The punch that ymon thrice from Harry Forbes and laid Harry Tenny low has not been evidence. Will some persons argue that the spirit of Tenny clings to Nell when In battle, staying by the mysterious practices of the unknown world the blows Intended to be decisive. OrVill some person, of a mind more given to the matter of fact, advance the theory that remembrance of the Tenny affair has robbed Neil of trie heart to Ijlt as hard as he Is able? However the things Is figured out, the fact. remains that in twenty three months Nell has received nothing but trounclngs.

Ho lost to Abe Attell and Harry each in twenty rounds, and then, after a rest of over a year, was stopped In sixteen rounds by Owen Moran. His most bitter dose of defeat came last Friday night Farmers, mechanics, railroaders, laborers rely on Dr. Thomas' Oil. Takes the ttitur out of cuts, burns or bruises at once.

Things certainly look blue for the Michigan baseball team, as the veteran pitchers fell down 'on examination.

He; will probably be able to get his work cleared up in time to lead the football team next fall, How clever Young is In locating the "plate is shown by 'his records in issuing passes since 1895, the free trips to first base obtained by batsmen being 667 in 644 games. It is an off day indeed when the veteran is touched for more than one pass, and his record In respect of hit batsmen and wild pitches is equally.noteworthy. i Young has 'never been a strike out pitcher, desiring rather to save his arm than to boost his strike out record. Yet in his time Cy, the mighty, has fanned is share of men, his biggest season in that line being in 1905, when he fanned 207 batsmen. Curiously, this was the season when Young was least successful in negotiating ictories, but there is an explanation for it for Young then had a team he could not rely on, and had to strike out his opponents.

Keene Has 'Taken $996,043 from Tracks Cost Him Nearly $700,000. NEW Feb. 15. According to authentic figures compiled recently James R. Keene in the last live years has won $996,043 in stakes and purses on the Jockey club tracks.

In 1903 his horses cleaned up $50,150, but since that time the yearly earnings have been several times greater, the $400, 000 mark being reached last season. His expenses for training, "transporta tion, jockeys, help, equipment, feed, entry fees and the conduct of his famous Castleton stud in that period of time are estimated at nearly $700,000. The figures place Sydney Paget sec WJM 1904 and i90 Paget had a lease on the running qualities of J. B. Haggin's horses.

H. P. Whitney is third with $395,016, which Coes not include $700,107 won by his horses in H. B. Duryea's colors during the season of 1904.

The success of all these turfmen waB due to the breeding indus'try in this country, together with the great liberality of the various racing associations, which was made possible by the wonderful patronage of the public.

If Mr. Keene paid out nearly $700,000 in five years to earn the title of America's leading owner, the other turfmen must have paid expenses In the same proportion, which means that a vast amount of money was placed in circulation by them.

NEW STAR OF THE RING WAS NEVER AN AMATEUR SAN FRANdSCO, Feb. 15. Owon Moran confessed to a few visitors recently that he was never really an amatuer pugilist. Owe broke right into the professional ranks, and he stayed there through 70 battles. The little Briton had this to say of his ring debut: "I had about licked all the kids In my neighborhood when I learned there was to be a boxing competition down at Whitechapel, so thought I'd take a chance.

I put on my best togs and walked nine rhiles to the boxing club where I told the manager I wanted to see If I couldn't win the prize an eight guinea watch. "The manager looked me over carefully and asked "Where are your fighting 'Right on me says I. you have no trunks or says he. "Til just doff me coat and vest, That's the only way I've been says I. "Well, he finally found me a pair of LEFT 1 HANDED BATTERS ARE WEAR Are Nearly All Victims of South paw Pitchers Clevilwd ii WU Fortified.

CHICAGO AND BB0WNSBAD CLEVELND, Feb. 15. Ia the days of old, southpaw pitchers were a.thorn in the side of the Naps. Last year witnessed the passing of the side wheelers as far as being effective against the Cleveland club. No longer is Doo White, Rube Waddell or Eddie Plank feared by the local swatters.

To be truthful, the spitters, like Harry Howell, Ed Walsh and Al Orth, are far more effective. Cleveland. Elmer Flick is the onlv left nanaeoj patter in me line up. "Nlf Clarke ordinarily hits from the left side, but "Nig" can shift and does pretty well the other way. Really Flick is the only left handed hitter among the regulars, and Elmer hits southpaws a lot better than the av erage.

Last year the St. Louis Browne were easy picking for the southpaws simply because there were too many left i handers on the club. Every club in the league saved its southpaws to work against St. Louis, and usually their ef forts were very succcessful. McAleer has tried to strengthen the the batting department by getting rid of Nlles, Hemphill and Pickering.

If Brown is used at first and Hoffman plays center, i McAleer will still have three left handers with Stone playing left I Chicago is weak against southpaws, as it has five left handers In Dough erty, Jones, Hahn, Donohue and Davis, i With Isbell at second there were six. The playing of Parent at short ought to greatly strengthen the Sox In the bitting department. Davis, like Clarke, shifts to the right of the plate against southpaws and hits welL Mike Welday, the best White Sox utility outfielder, hits from the off side like the rest. Clarke Griffith has left handers in Hemphill, Rickey and Nlles; Jimmy Barrett, Sullivan and Hoey represent 1 Boston's offering; Cobb, Rossnlan, Mclntyre and Schmidt are the left handers of the Ganley, cymer, Pickering, Milan, Warner, Freeman and Altlzer will at i tempt to rout the southpawa for i Washington. Connie Mack has two In Nichols and Hartsel.

A number of the recruits to be tried ttnd iB, list just given is one of regulars who will, in all probability, be in tne game the greater part of the season. Thus it will be seen that Cleveland is the only club that has but one lefthander in its line up. Southpaws who used to be saved for Cleveland will no longer be held in reserve. Instead of being up against southpaws the Naps will probably face the cream of the right handers. Just what the locals will do against such pitchers as Young, Walsh, Bender and the rest of the good ones remains to be seen.

Although, the Detroit team has sir left handers it seems to be one of the exceptions to the rule. While soutH paws, were effective against the Tigers to a certain extent, Jennings and his tribe managed to get away with a fair percentage of the games against them." In Jones, Rossmarf; Cobb and Crawford Detroit has a' quartette ofyleft handers who hit both kinds of pitching with almost equal ease, especially: Cobb and Crawford. The hitting of two of Detroit's pitchers, Donovan and Mullin, also had much to do with the Tigers' showing, and George Mullin, won many a game with a long swat. The St. Louis team last year was practically beaten when a southpaw went Into the box.

Against rijht 1 handers the Browns were strong, but their hitting was not consistent by anf. means. BIG LEAGUE MEETINGS. The spring meetings of the National League, the American League and the National Commission will all be held in New York in about two weeks The most important matter to oome up before the two leagues is ths 1908 sched ule of championship game.

Naturally, I went stralghaway to the manager and demanded the watch. You could have knocked me down with a feather.

He told me that entering a competition was like entering a tournament and that I had to HcH about seventeen boys before I was entitled to the prize. I succeeded In doing this, however, and won the watch." 4 "But how did that happen to make you a professional?" Owen; was asked. "Well, you see he exlained, "when I first came to Whitechapel I didn't have much money, for I only expected remain a single day. It took me three days and all my little coin to go through the bloomln' mill. So, when it came to being handed an eight guinea watch, I told the.
