USB SFOIRTMG ATHLETEJASILY IN Four Favorites Were Beaten on the Aquednct Track and the King 1 Had Hard Sledding. THE. EOSLYN HANDICAP NEW TORK, Nov. 9. Although four favorites were unable to come home In front at Aqueduct today, the ring had a pretty hard time of it breaking "better than even, because of the sup port accorded to all the successful horses.

The Roslyn handicap for three year olds, one mile and a six teenth, was a peculiar affair, both from a betting and a racing standpoint, Cressina, the logical favorite, receded In the odds to 5 while both Hot Toddy and Rye went back from 2V2 each to 6 and 5 respectively, i The educated money helped to back Athlete from 6 to 9 to 2, while Orilene was also lowered to 5. Miller cut out the pace with Hot Toddy, who carried top weieht and backed up when Athlete challenged at the last sixteenth pole, Athlete was an easy winner by two and a half lengths, with Hot Toddy four lengths in front of Cressina, who ran a dead looking race, as did Rye and Orilene. The time was 1:45 2 5. The Summaries. First race Six furlongs.

Albert W. Schell, one of Cincinnati's sterling young business men, a thirty second degree enthusiast and brother of Dick who is accorded the title of "King of New York Rooters, was in Wisconsin last week and he Drougnt nome a inew baseball story, Ho told it at the Fan club. After the White Sox had won the world's cham pionship they accepted an invitation to visit Kenosha, the liveliest little city between Chicago and Milwaukee. For days before their coming everybody in Kenosha talked baseball and the White Sox. On the morning of their arrival one of the multitude who greeted the conquering baseballists was a cute lit tie fellow whose anticipations and ex pectatlons had been strangely aroused As the heroes of the world's greatest baseball battles tumbled off the train Douglass Newell turned away in dis appointment and he remarked: "Why, they're only men, aren't they?" The extravagance of the Kenoshans possibly led one youthful mind to look for clay far above the ordinary.

McGraw is Silent. Despite all the rumors as to radical changes in the line up of the New York Nationals, not one word of com ment is heard from John McGraw, who, with Tod Sloan, is eaplng a harvest trom their billiard parlor at Forty second street and Broadway. The confidence expressed In Chicago as to the cubs winning the pennant easily again next year has not escaped McGraw's notice. But still he refuses to talk. That he is doing no little thinking is, nowever, quite certain.

It will be ob served that Manager McGraw has not gone on record with a "stand pat" aeciaration tnis fall. The past season has emphasized what an all powerful factor Christy Mathewson was in the local club. At no time during the campaign was the great Matty really nimseir. The Illness that laid him low during the training season in the South left its effect upon the conqueror of the Athletics, and his general appearance indicated physical weakness almost every time he was on the Job. It is Now Captain Ganiel.

John Ganzel has put his John Hancock to a Red contract and he will have cranberry sauce with his Thanksgiving turkey. Gansol's coming means the departure of Johnny Deal, who fielded well, but hit poorly There is one thing about Ganzel he is seasoned. He knows what it is to play with the big bugs. Ganzel is to succeed to the captaincy, relinquished by Joe Kelley, for Kel's Red day is over. The Central League's future is clouded by the lassooing of Ganzel, but the presence of Captain John at Grand Rapids last season was not sufficient to prevent the Carson administration laying in a deficit instead of a surplus.

I see the South Bend doctor is playing the same political hand he did last fall when he professed a desire to retire from the worrlment of iv mogulistlc life. Dr. Carson is the gay coquette of balldom. He will not require much coaxing to hang on to the Central's cherry tree, which, despite an unfruitful season, will be found blossoming In the minor orchard when the meadow larks sing their earliest lays of the new spring. Sporting Life.

BIG GAMES TODAY. NEW YORK, Nov. 9. It is annoying to football followers that they cannot be in two or three places at once tomorrow. There are Harvard Car lisle, Princeton West Point, Yale Brown, Pennsylvania Lafayette, Dart mouth Amherst, and numerous other attractive games on the schedule.

They are all critical periods for the contesting teams, second in importance only to the series of three or four championship games which begin next Saturday and which' will be the beginning of the end. West Point will have its hands full handling the crowd that will go up to see how the Tigers fare against the team that kept Harvard and Yale strictly on the jump until the final whistle. New Haven will en tertain many who want evidence of whether Yale can play any better than she did last Saturday and the demand for seats for the Harvard Indian affair has been so lively that it is expected 25,000 persons will flock to the stadium. BASEBALL STARS START HUMBLY Generally Come from Back Lots, Where the Real Game Is Played. Ball players who achieve fame on the diamonds of the big leagues come from all sorts of ball fields.

The col lege man plays second while the lad who learned the games on the prairies of Chicago, the hillsides of Massachu setts, or the mud flats of the Ohio plays shortstop. The boy from the farm lot plays alongside the youngster who won his spurs on some country town team. The big leagues recruit from every where. Massachusetts turns out more ball players than any other state, Pennsylvania ranks second, Ohio third, and Illinois fourth, with Minnesota fifth. It Is all a question of individual abil ity.

The small towns produce more ball players than the great cities, al though Chicago in recent years has been a fruitful recruiting ground for the big leagues, the prairie teams of the Windy City suppJyihg more players per year tbnti any one of the small leagues. If you really want to see basebat played don't attend American or National league games. Go out on to the lots. If you are broke and want to see real sport go down into Millcreek valley in Cincinnati, or out on the prairies of Chicago, or. the commons of any New England town, or the flats Philadelphia, and get it right off the reel.

There are real baseball games play ed out there on fenceless arenas, and while looking them over you are like ly to discover some player who will make a record in baseball. Larry Lajoie was almost as good a ball player when he was driving a coach at Jamestown, N. Y.t as he is now; Bill Bradley was faster when he was playing with a kid team out in Glendale section of Cleveland than he is now; Barry McCormlck was as good a ball player with the Pendletons in Cincinnati as he ever was in the big league; Lee Tannehlll fielded as well with the Dayton, team as he does now; Fred Pfeffer was as great a star with the Silver Creeks at Louisville as he I ever became as a member of the "stonewall infield" of Chicago. There are hundreds of instances in which ball players have been picked up off the lots and made good in the fastest wimpany right off the reel, simply because, they were natural players. Jack Powell, who is still one of the best in the business, and should have been better with better managers, is an example.

Powell was pitching star ball with prairie leagues In Chicago. He had everything, and then a few tricks of his own. He was discovered by play' ers on Anson's team. They got him out to the West Side grounds to practice and show a few things to Anson After watching him for a time, Anson ruled him out. He voted him a good kid, but not up to the standard.

What Powell did to Chicago after ward is historic. He found a berth with Tebeau and became one of the great pitchers of the country. His especial delight was to trim Chicago which rejected him. NEW BERTH FOR MR. HIGH DUFFY.

A. A. U. INDOOR GAMES National Championship Matches Held Last Evening Before Big Crowd in Madison Square Garden. SOME SPLENDID CONTESTS 'NEW YORK, Nov.

9. The national indoor championships of the Amateur Athletic union began tonight in Madison Square Garden and a big crowd of enthusiastic followers of track and field sports were in attendance. An exhaustive programme of twenty events was arranged and the list included every item possible for competition within doors. Eleven of these were scheduled for tonight and the remainder will be disposed of tomorrow. The 300 yard run put the ball rolling and owing to the entry being scattered in other events there was only one heat.

The 1,000 yards brought out Shep pard, Pilgrim, Bacon and Bromllow. Sheppard won by three yards from Bacon with Bromilow a close third. Subsequently Sheppard's time was claimed as a new Indoor record, supplanting an old mark of 2 minutes and 20 seconds, held by Charles Bacon. A few surprises turned up in the field events. H.

A. Gldney, of the Boston A. A. scored a decisive win in the high jump with the highly respect able height of 5 feet 10y2 Inches, with Ryan, of Columbia university, and Jerry Mahoney, of the New York A. second and third respectively.

An engineer from Sunderland was spending a few days In London with friend, and after a busy morning sightseeing the Londoner chose a large restaurant for luncheon, thinking it would be a novel experience for the man from the north. The visitor ap peared to enjoy his luncheon, but kept looking In the direction of the door. What are yi watching?" asked his friend, rather inoyed. "Well," was the quiet reply. "A's keepin' an eye on ma topcoat." "Oh, don't bother about that," said the other; "you don't see me watching mine." "No," observed the guileless engineer; "thee has no call to it's ten minutes sin' thine went." Tit Bits.

Pitcher Roy Hitt, of the San Fran clsco club, has signed a 1907 Cincinnati It is possible that Manager McGraw may take his Giants to California for spring training. President Murphy, of the Cubs, is expected to make improvements in his park at Chicago. The Pittsburg club has signed First Baseman Abstein, purchased from Shreveport, to a 1907 contract. Luther Taylor, the deaf mute pitcher, of the New Yorks, is spending a month bird hunting in Kansas. Outfielder Johnny Siegle, of the Cln cinnatis, was married at Urbana, on October 30 to Miss Ella Michael, of Urbana, John Ganzell, having disposed of his interest in the Grand Rapids clubon October 31, signed a Cincinnati contract, i Jake Morse is of opinion Chat Ten ney's Tribe would not have finished last had Abbaticchio played with the team all season.

Catcher Mike Grady states that he has an option on a hotel in Philadelphia and is counting on, securing the property. Pitcher Robert Wicker, of the Cin cinnatis, was married at Chicago night of October 27 to Miss Alice B. Chapin, of Chicago. Pitcher Charley Nichols, late of the Phillies, is negotiating for the purchase of the Oklahoma City club, of the Western association. Christy Matthewson and Frank Bowerman, of the New York Nation als, begun a long hunt through the wilds of Michigan this week.

Albert N. Burch, the clever St Louis outfielder, was married on October 31 at Altoona, to Miss Margaret Welsh, of that town. The life of the late "Buck" Ewing is a good example for ball players. He saved his money, and no benefits were necessary to bury him. Jake Beckley is back at his old con genial work.

He is assistant starter at Latonla race track. He says he will play ball again next season. Pflester, of the Cubs, made the re markable record last year of fanning Tim Jordan, the heavy hitting Brook lyn fielder, eight times straight. President Pulliam has promulgated the 1907 contracts with St. Louis of Grant McGlynn, Thomas O'Hara, Ed "ward Holly and Ed.

Zimmerman, Manager Frank Chance, of the Chi cago National League champions, left Chicago on October 29 for his home in Ocean Park, to spend the winter. Arthur Hoffman has Just celebrated his twenty third birthday. He will winter in St. Louis, and probably go back to his old position in the Bank of Commerce. Manager Hanlon Is quoted as saying that Tommy Cororan's fate will not be decided until the meeting of the National League in New York in Decem ber.

Eason, of Brooklyn, and Lush, of Philadelphia, were the only twirlers in the major leagues to shut out their opponents without a hit or run during the 1906 season. Catcher McAllister will, it Is now positively asserted, manage Buffalo, It seems to be well assured now that Jack Dunn will manage the Providence team another season. Baltimore rumors are that Outfield er John Kelly, of the Orioles, will jump to the outlaw Williamsport club. Hugh Duffy and Fred. Doe have asked for P.

T. Powers' lowest figures for his interest in the Providence club. The Newark club has, upon recom mendatlon of Pitcher Moriarity, sign ed Pitcher Tom McCarthy, of Mount Clemens, Mich. He won thirty three out of thirty five games and batted for .290. Joe Bean, of Cambridge, drafted by Washington from Jersey City, would like to manage the Jersey City club next season, and is in every way capable of doing the work well.

Unless his hotel business, which he will take over Monday next, interferes, Ed, Barrow will retain the man agership of the Toronto club. Should he retire, however, it is likely that Second Baseman Tim Flood will fill the vacancy. President Powers has received ap plications for membership from Wil mington, and Trenton, N. J. Lewis Perrlne, son of General Perrme, wants to place Trenton in the league, and will talk the matter over with President Powers.

Jimmy Bannon is not reserved by Rochester, and, therefore, can where he pleases. He has a lot of offers, but would like to get back into a major league. He believes that very few of so called major league stars have anything on him in fielding, batting, throwing or base running. The Buffalo Times says that the club of that city landed the pennant a large measure owing to the won derful throwing of Murray from right field. That player was formerly with Manchester, and is another first class player who was passed up for Stall ings to handle and develop into a suc cessful player.

Unless Jimmy McAIeer buys a now third baseman he will put Mr. O'Brien on that Job and switch Nlles to sec ond. Jake Stahl says he has no notion of quitting the game, but may try to con nect with some other club than Wash ington. Clark Griffith says the recrudescence of Pitcher Orth last season was due to recently acquired mastery of the "spit ball." Considering the coin they picked up In the world's Berles, the White Sox deserve to be called Silk Stockings next season. Boston critics say that the New York club has picked up a fast, clever youngster in Outfielder Phelan, of the Manchester club.

Danny Hoffman, of the Highlanders, received a rousing reception upon his arrival last week at his winter home in Torrington, Conn. "Chick" Stahl Is at his home In Fort Wayne preparing for a trip to Boston, One of Roxbury's fairest daughters is said to be the attraction. Myron Grlmshaw is at his home In the Adlrondacks entertaining Catcher Armbruster and making ready to do guide work during the winter. Frank Isbell, Roger Bresnahan and Charley Hickman are a few of the big leaguers who have played every position on the diamond in their career. Hush Jennings' star performance in hls'career was in Boston, when he ac cepted all of twenty one chances at short field in a fourteen lnning game.

Teiry Turner, shortstop of the Clevelands, accepted more chances during the championship season of 1906 than any other shortstop In the American league. Buck" Freeman writes that he Is not negotiating for the purchase of any minor league club, but expects to "ALWAYS BUSY." "Hobe" Ferris may be forgiven by the Boston Americans and allowed to resume his studies at the second station next year. Where could Boston get as good a second baseman? In addition to the twenty one world's champion emblems provided for the eligible members of the White Sox, one will be presented to the owner of the club, Charles A. Comlskey. The wife of Pitcher "Cy" Young on November 2 fell through a trap door in the cellar of her home near Gilmore, O.

Although she was unconscious for about an hour her injuries are not believed to be severe. Pitcher George Mullin has signed with Detroit. His new contract pro vides, in addition to his straight salary, for a bonus of Ave thousand dollars if he pitches and wins twenty games, and a bonus of one thousand if he pitches and win thirty games. A Cleveland despatch states that Vice President Charles W. Somers, of the Cleveland club, who only a month ago was divorced from his wife, shortly will marry Elsie Hubbard, a cloak model' after an acquaintance of three months.

'Jiggs" Donahue has declined that proffered theatrical engagement of himself and his fellow White Sox for ten or twelve weeks at one thousand dollars a week, because he could not undertake the job of getting the whole team together now that most of the players have gone to their winter homes. President Noyes, of the Washington club, has received a letter from President Johnson, of the American league, congratulating him on the signing of Mr. Cantlllon as manager for the next three years. That settles the yarn about President Johnson's disappoint ment over Cantlllon signing with Washington instead of Boston. When the barnstorming White Sox on October 26 played at Edgerton, where Catcher Billy Sullivan first won his spurs, Sullivan was presented with a silver service by his Edgerton friends and a handsome bouquet of American Beauty roses by his lady admirers.

The Sox were met at the depot with a brass band and escorted to the hotel, where they were welcomed by Mayor Ladd and presented with the key of the city. Any skin itching is a temper tester.
