Binntrud Will Soon Turn Professional to Meet Nelson in Canada Next -McDonald on the Blades Again--Verona Events Saturday. Preparations are being made for one of the biggest skating contests on record by the members of the New York Athletic Club skating team, and the team of the Verona Lake Skating Club. The proposed race is a relay, with three men on a side. No distance has been set upon yet, but Saturday night the boys suggested that each man go a mile, making a three-mile race from start to finish. The New York Athletic Club will be represented by Harry P.

McDonald, well known as a skater, and also a broad jumper; Arthur Y. Sarony, who has won many contests from scratch in the local rink, and W. W. Swan, who in most cases figures oh scratch with Sarony. The Verona team will be composed of Peter Sinnirud, the 'Terrible Swede," who holds a number of records; W.

Wood, well known as an open air expert and holder of several national titles, and Philip J. Kearney, who, a couple of seasons ago held the local point record for Greater New York. Manager Mosher has offered the boys the local rink for the contest. The only things to be decided are the date and distance and the members are so anxious for the struggle that there will be no difficulty in' arranging either. The members of the Verona Club, who were seen to-day, want the match to take place before the first of next month, as early In February, Sinnirud is to turn professional In order to invade Canada, with a view of wresting the championship titles of the North from Jonnie Nelson.

Sinnirud is 1 in magnificent condition at present, and all who have watched his training during the past few weeks feel confident that he will prove more than a match for Nelson. During the past week Sinnirud has jumped into the lead the struggle for the season's point competition. He finished in a triple tie with O. M. Dorlan and J.

J. Holden when the points were footed up at the close of the old year. A. Y. Sarony was first, with 15 points.

During the three days of the new year he scored three firsts and now tops the point list with 8 total of 23 points. W. W. Swan scored three seconds during the same three days, and R. L.

Huntington tallied two firsts. The other points were distributed all along the line. Harry P. McDonald, of the New York A. who has for several seasons represented Heffley School, made his debut for the year on Saturday evening.

He was placed on scratch with Sinntrud, and held to the Swede for over half the distance. All the way he was in trouble on the turns, and finally five laps from home he got a nasty fall. He remarked after the race that his skates are built too low and not exactly true, which accounts for his poor showing. His work on the little stretches showed that he will make all the speed men hustle when he gets the new pair of blades he has ordered. The race mentioned was the Class A mile, and was won by Sinnirud by '15 yards, over Swan.

Mulligan was third, with 100 yards The time was 2:59.45, which is the second mile this season to go under three minutes, The Class event brought out the largest all-in-one-heat field of the season, twentythree starting and near a dozen finishing. Taylor, 30 yards, won; Harold See, 40 yards, was second; R. Yerby, 80 yards, was third. The time was 3:12 2-5. The stirring match between the New York A.

C. and the Hockey Club, in St. Nicholas Rink, Manhattan, the second of the Amateur Hockey League's championship series, that was played on Saturday night, is worthy of a little comment. Every seat in the house was filled, Neither team scored in the two play, and then came three periods of the most remarkable work ever seen on the indoor ice. Two of the periods were ten minutes and the third five, making in all, an hour and five minutes actual contest.

The puck traveled miles and went Inches short of scoring a score of times, yet the physical condition of the two sevens was 80 nearly balanced that the final result was goose egg for both sides. There was Mack of team work noticeable, yet lug that the season is still in its infancy, it is surprising that there was as much team play as, there was. Max Hornfeck, of the N. Y. A.

had his shoulder wrenched SO badly that it is doubtful if he will be able to play with his team in the game against St. Nicholas next Thursday evening. "Benny" Phillips, of the Hockey Club, was exhausted when the game was finished, but will play against the Brooklyn team Wednesday night, as he was not physically injured. These two teams will come together again the third of next month. The postponed skating races of the Verona Skating Club, at Verona Lake, N.

will be held on Saturday afternoon, if the weather will permit. The Heffley school hockey team would like to arrange games with other teams, to be played at either the Clermont Avenue or St. Nicholas Rinks. Address Hugh Bullen, Captain Heffley hockey team, 243 Ryerson street, Brooklyn. HANDBALL.

Now It is old Fleetwood Park where e- port has 'it the grounds of the American League in New York are to be. From the fact that civil engineers for two weeks have been laying out the grounds for a ball held and that agents of the American League are directing the work, the latest story arises.

Nothing can be learned from those charge of the work, but well informed persons say that the location of the American League's grounds is no longer a secret. Old Fleetwood in its day was an 'extensive plant and 'affords plenty of room for a fine ball field. The section devoted to baseball will be bounded by 165th street to 167th street and Morris and Ciay avenues. The grounds are level and spacious and within easy access. Six lines touch the groundsthe Morris avenue, Webster avenue, Jerome avenue and Third avenue trolley and Third avenue elevated and New York Central steam road.

Catharine's Hospital. Peace Committee Invested With Power. In interview in Cincinnati, Chairman Herrmann, of the National League Baseball man Peace Commission, says his committee has full power to act in negotiating for peace with the American League. Says Chairman Herrmann: "It seems from the telegraphic despatches from Chicago that an erroneous impression has been given relative to the National League Committee. It has been intimated that the committee has not received authority to act.

The contrary is the fact. Our commitee has been given full power by the large majority of our clubs, and so notifiled Mr. Johnson in my letter last Friday. The committee, however, prefers not fully and finally to exercise that power without reserving the right on their part to confer with their colleagues or business partners on the important matters that may present themselves during the conference, with the understanding, however, that they will take such steps as will enable them at any time during the conferences to reach their colleagues without a moment's delay. "This action on our part has been taken because the club owners in our league have not been in consultation with reference to any of the important matters which undoubtedly would present themselves during the conferences.

We therefore believe that it is only fair and reasonable that we should reserve the right to confer with those whose financial interests are at stake, before coming to any final conclusion on important matters, notwithstanding the fact we have been given full power to act. By taking this action there will be no question but that our findings will be concurred in. "If a reasonable reservaion on our part 1s to be a barrier to peace negotiations, then I cannot comprehend that the other side is anxious to secure it. The National League wants peace. In obtaining it there will be no objection on our part to have a fair, a frank and open discussion of all the points about which there may be a difference of opinion." M'GOVERN MAY FIGHT ABROAD.

His Opponent, if He Makes the Trip, Will Be Ben -Boxing News. The wish of Englishmen that Terrry MeGovern pay a visit to their shores is likely to be gratifled.

The battles are to be either twenty or five rounds for $5,800 a side. Harris is willing to $3,000 to $5,000 as many times as it suits the Britishers that the Yankees win all three fights. McGovern will probably fight Ben Jordan, Reagen will tackle Harry Ware and Eddie Cain may meet Jack Palmer, the English lightweight champion. BILLIARDS.

Thomas Curtis still is overwhelmed by the magnificence of the testimonial tendered him by the bowlers, not only of Greater New York, but those of the country at large, upon the occasion of his fiftieth wedding anniversary and the seventy-fifth anniversary of his birth.

The veteran of the alley spoke with feeling every time the great reception which attested his popularity, was mentioned to him to-day. The magnitude of the testimonial has completely overwhelmed him. The reception at his Clinton avenue home on Saturday night was attended by all the prominent bowlers in the city.

TOPS IS MUCH CUT UP MUST ELEPHANT AT CONEY ISLAND KILLED BY ELECTRICITY AND BODY DISSECTED. Front Feet and Legs as Umbrella Stands, Hide to Be Tanned, Bones to Be Mounted, Stomach Goes to Princeton University, Poor, old Topsy, the original baby phant, was electrocuted yesterday afternoon at Thompson and Dundy's big enclosure, known as Luna Park, at Coney Island, in the presence of several thousand people. Just twenty-two seconds from the moment the electricity was turned on the huge ani mal was dead.

It was the first time that beast of such huge dimensions was ever put to death with electricity. It had originally been planned to either hang or strangle the animal, but the elephant, to use an expression made by a small boy who had got Into the grounds by scaling the fence, "Tops was plumb wise to the noose and didn't want any part of it." It was then decided to put Topsy to death by means of the deadly wire. Police Captain Knipe had been asked to police the grounds and as early as 11:30 o'clock a large squad of uniformed men, headed by Roundsmen Kennedy and Martin were on deck to preserve order and also to prevent any of the visitors from getting too close to the elephant. Battalion Chief David Kirkpatrick was also on hand with a number of firemen and every precaution was taken to prevent injury to all who were in the enclosure. The owners of the elephant issued a large -number of invitations and no one without a ticket could get inside the enclosure.

Just as soon as the proposed execution of the elephant reached the office of the Society for the of Cruelty to Animals, two officers were at once despatched to Luna Park' and Frederick Thompson was hunted up. The society would not consent to the execution at first and yesterday afternoon: both officers were fussing and fretting around and it looked at one time as though: the affair would not be pulled off as per schedule. Dundy, however, was busily engaged with the assistance of a num'ber of his men in preparing for the hanging and several huge ropes and blocks were swung into place. The big framework at the electrio tower was used for a scaffold and after a platform had been erected, leading to the gallows. Dundy went to the police and announced that everything was.

ready. He then went to the building in which the big elephant was chained and led her out toward the scaffold. There were several thousand people in Luna Park at that moment and the many' housetops surrounding the park were black with people. One enterprising fellow, who owned a building just outside Luna Park, permitted all who could to go up on top of, his building to do so, upon payment of twenty-five cents, and he did very well. Topsy was taken to within twenty-five feet of the gallows and then she stopped and refused to budge an inch.

"Skip" thought he could coax her along by holding out apples to her, but she seemed to know what the framework in front of her meant, and she would not go any further. It was soon seen that there was to be no hanging for Topsy and in spite of the apples, carrots and hay that were held out to. her, the elephant would not move and it was decided to put her to death with electricity. Somewhere within the boundaries of this big city is a young man known as "Whitey" Alt, and up until a few days ago he was Topsy's attendant. "Whitey" could do anything with the elephant and Thompson and Dundy would, have given him anything if had made his appearance yesterday afternoon.

Topsy would have gone to the scaffold, providing "Whitey" led her, but Thompson had been forced to dispense with "Whitey's" services and Topsy was then chained up for good. "Whitey" was outside the grounds, it was said, yesterday, but he would not go in and kill his old friend. The chief electrician of the Edison Company's plant at Coney Island, P. D. Sharkey, and Electrician John Black.

had been called upon to string the wires. Several of them were, run over from the Edison's. plant, two blocks away, and the electricians secured two steel plates which were shaped like the bottom of Topsy's feet. Both were made fast to small pieces of board and they were fastened to the bottom of the elephant's feet, one on the left hind foot and the other on the right fore foot: The wires were then attached to the' plates. While the electricians were making preparations Several employees of Luna Park.

were chaining Topsy. A number of boards were spread upon the ground and the elephant was led onto them. All four feet were chained to huge pegs that had been driven into the ground and a stout rope was fastened into a noose around her neck, the other end being attached to small stationary engine. Some two hours before, the elephant had been given a large quantity of cyanide of potassium and that deadly poison had been gradually working Its way toward the heart. Topsy was pretty well under the Influence of the drug when led onto the boards, out still she walked and moved about as though nothing had happened.

The word was given that everything was ready and the big crowd was driven back a considerable distance. The poor brute, unconscious of the fact that more than six thousand volts were to be driven through her, was quietly munching on some carrots, when those who were watching her suddenly saw Topsy stop eating. The electricity had been thrown on and: the unfortunate had felt it for the first time. Several sheets of blue flame, accompanied by smoke, were seen to come from her feet and then she swayed to the right. The stout ropes and chains held her securely, but she finally fell.

A heavy chain around her neck snapped like a string and she went to the ground, lifeless. The crowd rushed toward the animal, but were driven back by the police, and the surgeons gathered around the carcass. Just twenty-two seconds elapsed from the time the electricity was turned on until Topsy was pronounced dead by Dr. H. J.

Brotheridge. Then the gates of Luna Park were thrown open to the public, and several thousand people who had witnessed the execution from house tops, together with many who could not see anything of the killing, rushed in to get a glimpse of Topsy. Ten minutes later police cleared the park and the work of cutting up the animal was begun. There were a number of surgeons and physicians present. The stomach was taken by Professor McClure, of the Department of Biology, at Princeton University.

Topsy's frame will be taken by an institution in Manhattan. The hide will be tanned by Hubert H. Vogelsbury, of Manhattan. and that of the forelegs from the first joint, will be retained by Mr. Thompson, who intends to have them made into umbrella holders.
