Mounted on Luralighter, whose proper rating in the company would have been 12 or 15 against, Sloan's old time prestige forced the odds down to 6 to 1. And his riding showed the bookies' fears to be well founded. His ridingand that alone- brought his mount in the money. When Sloan and Luralighter led the procession from the paddock, the jockey was given an enthusiastio reception.

He showed that he still retained his quick eye by beating the barrier and getting off a the good. Garnish, however, had the speed of the party, and on the first turn shot ahead, with Tootsy Mack and Ben Heywood at his heels. held lead of two lengths all the way around and won in a short drive by fourths of a length from Ben Heywood. In the meantime Sloan was riding a careful race on Luralighter and held the rail all the way, losing scarcely an inch. When straightened out for the last run Tootsy Mack was two lengths ahead of Jordan, who was head the best of Luralighter.

Sloan brought his horse through on the inside, and, in one of his famous dingdong, neck-riding finales, in which he outfinished Austin by a wide margin, landed Luralighter in third place by a short head. The rehabilitated rider was greeted with applause when he came back the feel fit to, ever," standia Tod after the race. "As to my plans, I intend to go on riding here for a while; further than that I am uncertain. It seems good to be back in the saddle." MAY BE IN FAVOR OF ADAMS. DENVER, Feb.

The case will then be considered by the committee, and, under the rules, its report will have to be completed by next Wednesday. Unconfirmed reports are in circulation to the effect that the majority of the committee, which consists of 19 republicans and eight democrats, will sustain Governor Alva Adams and recommend that Contestor James H. Peabody be given leave to withdraw his petition. TOLSTOI EXPECTS REFORM.

PARIS, Feb. the course of an interview with the St. Petersburg corrospondent of the Matin, Count Leo Tolstol is reported to have expressed his repugnance to both the aristocracy and the revolutionists of Russia, whose methods, he said, are equally violent. It was Impossible at the present moment. Count Tolstol said, to forcibly overturn the government.

He thinks reforms are inevitable after the recent occurrences. The Russian people, in the opinion of Count Tolstol, are really not desirous of revolution, but what they seek is the ownership of the land they till. KILLS ENEMY, THEN SELF. GRANGEVILLE, Idaho, Feb. Tennyson Wright was shot and killed by Fred White last night at Goff, 50 miles from here.

An hour after the killing White to took his own life. Both the men lived at Pollock, Idaho. Each had a family, and they were well known in the Salmon River country. The trouble grew out of an old feud over the ownership of some land. The coroner left here this morning for Goff.

Jim Knight, coach of the University of Washington football team, has announced his resignation from that institution and will go to Princeton to assist A. Hildebrand in the coaching of the Tigers. B.

F. Roller, one of the professors in the university, is confidently expected to be the coach next year. "The football men have been working hard to induce Knight to remain for another year, but he has refused," says a coast report. "Dr. Roller declined to be 8 candidate 80 long as Knight Was a possibility, but now that there is to be a change, Dr.

Roller will be a candidate. "Manager Evans stated that he had not made up his mind just who to recommend for the position. A number of well known football coaches and players have either applied for the position or are being urged by friends. Among them are Hernatein, the great Michigan halfback, who coached the Haskell Indians with success last year; Dr. Fred Schoct.

who coached the Kentucky state college team last fall, that won the championship of the south. There 1s a strong faction in the city that urge the securing of Cutts, the giant Harvard tackle of three seasons ago, for the position. "Dr. Roller is extremely popular with the undergraduates and, unless he asks a larger sum than the student treasury can afford, Manager Evans has intimated that he will recommend Dr. Roller for the position." "DAD" MOULTON A GREAT TRAINER Has Brought Out Some of the World's Greatest College Champions.

E. W. "Dad" Moulton, the famous track team coach and trainer of Stanford university, is perhaps the best conditioner of athletes in the United States. Born in 1849, he is still hale and hearty, with the elastic step and bright eye of a man of half his age. "Running away from his father's home in Minneapolis at an early age, he joined the Minnesota heavy artillery and saw hard service for two years." biography.

"After the war he crossed the plains with the Fiske expedition, becoming a scout against the Indians. Here Moulton discovered that he was a sprinter by outrunning the hostile Sioux braves. In 1879, at state fair, won the 100 and 440 yard championship of Minnesota. then became a professional sprinter, and began the phenomenal career which marked him as the champion runner of America. In all he 300 races, of which he lost only four.

Of these four he rematched and won two, and the old veteran naively says that he would have rematched and won the other two if his competitors had not forestalled him by their untimely deaths. A writer of the time says that Moulton was the squarest man that ever ran a professional race. Became a Trainer. "After casting aside his spikes, the old veteran devoted himself to training athletes, and his success In this line has been unparalleled. Among the noted professional runners developed by the great trainer were Harry Johnson, champion of the world for many years in the short distances; Skinner, Campbell and James Collins, who was accompanied to England by Moulton when he won the famous Sheffield handicap in 1890.

"Moulton was nothing if not versatile in his early days of professional training, having had charge of sprinters, prize fighters, bicycle riders and hose teams. In the fleld of amateur sport he developed Kraenzlein, Pennsylvania's champion hurdler and broad Jumper; Pat O'Dea, the great Wiscongin drop kicker: John V. Crum of Iowa, considered by many the greatest amateur sprinter ever developed in either America or England, and the former champion shot putter, Jack McPherson. Developed Champions. "Moulton boasts that he has been through 11 universities and colleges.

most important institutions where the veteran trainer has developed winning tracks and football teams are the state universities of Minnesota, Michigan, Iowa and Wisconsin, Vanderbilt university and the College of Notre Dame. It was from the last named college that he came to Stanford university, where he found a track team that had grown to accept defeat at the hands the University of California as a matter of course. "Acting with his ugual promptitude Moulton caused a revolution in the conduct of track affairs by insisting on the absolute observance of training rules. Two men have been peremptorily dismissed from the team for violating the rules, since which time Moulton's orderg hava, become a tradition which no track would dare violate. The first year under Moulton's tutelage the cardinal team lost to Its rival across the bay, but this defeat has been redeemed by two successive victories.

During his stay at Stanford Moulton has developed a world's champion pole vaulter in N. E. Dole, intercollegiate champion shotputter in 0. E. Hyde." DRAW THE LINE AT FILIPINOS.

WHEN MATHEWSON BROKE THE STRIKEOUT RECORD "Christie Mathewson has As much speed as any one ever needed, control that can't be purchased and a shoestring drop," Frank Bowerman, the catcher, is quoted as saying. "The day he got the strikeout record he was using speed that burned the glove. One of the officials put me wise that Christie had the record tied, and I went down to the box to tell him to get Jake Buckley, who was the last man up. 'I guess I can do that all said Christie, and I trotted back to try to get Jake to help in the play. "'I'm not makin' records for said Buckley.

Then I tapped Jake, and said, 'Toddle back to your bench; you're York Journal. JACK MONROE. ATLANTA, Feb. -M. J.

Dwyer of this city defeated Jack Munroe, the well known boxer and wrestler, in A catch as catch can match at the American Athletio club here tonight. Munroe won the first fall and Dwyer the last two. KLOPF, UMPIRE. SEATTLE, Feb. -Gus Klopf, one of the best known minor league ball players in the United States, has been appointed an umpire In the Pacino Coast league.

Klopt has been playing professional baseball since 1888. The Chronicle prints today's news today, GOES BACK TO THE OLD PLACE Slats Davis has reconsidered his determination to become a baseball magnate, and will now go back to the work for which he is Atted--that of umpiring. Davis has received a berth in the Pacino Coast league, where he will handle the Indicator next year. Davis first came light in Portland when he was selected to captain Jack Grim's team in the ill fated Paciflo National league, and at the same time play first base. When the team went to Salt Lake City Grim took Davis with him.

After playing for a time Davis went on President Lucas' staff of umpires, and rapidly made good. SULLIVAN MAY COME HERE Will Visit Portland Fair and Sports Want Him in Spokane. John L. Sullivan, the old hero of the prize ring and the man who now challenges James Corbett for a fight, may be in Spokane next summer. He has announced that he will be in Portland and there will be an effort, and undoubtedly a successful one, to get hi "Sullivan expects to put on a number of four round boxing contests with prominent heavyweights at Portland during the fair and also expresses a willingness to take on Corbett at that place.

In speaking of his challenge to Corbett the old timer is quoted as saying: "I see that Corbett says he pities me. Now, if the publio could see Corbett and myself standing side by side, I think 'the words 'poor old, fellow' would fit him far better than any man who ever donned a glove. His face is one complete mass of wrinkles, while I stand today without a wrinkle on my face or blemish on my skin, and I see no reason history should not repeat itself." In a recent interview that was given out Sullivan is quoted as saying: "If I was such a 'booze and my health was impaired to such an extent as some people are led to believe, I think by this time I would have had a wooden overcoat on, or else been in the insane asylum. "The unfortunate part of my career is that when I have taken a drink that everyone has been ready to make a mountain out of a molehill, and I can, without any egotism, say that I stand lay the personification of health, strength, muscle and will power. Now, I have always been on the level, as the public knows.

I don't wish to blow own horn, but I have always given the public a square run for their money, and I mean just what I say, that I stand ready to fight Corbett, and it's up to him to fight me within a period of eights months' time, if he or the public doubts my sincerity, I will be one of a party of ten that will put up $1000, making a total of $10,000, to fight him in private, in a room 12 or 16 feet square, or I will fight him to a finish in any club, within a period of eight months. Know Thyself. "Man, know thyself" 1s a good old saying, and I have taken the time to study myself and know my condition thoroughly before issuing this challenge to Corbett, and I can assure you that this challenge does not emanate from the brains of my manager, Mr. Frank Hall. "I have had It in my mind for years, and I intend to 'make "Now this chap, Corbett, has been.

"I don't see that there is such a great difference between the ages of Bob Fitzsimmons and others whom I can mention and myself. "Has Corbett licked anyone in the last 12 years other than Mitchell? The story is quickly told a8 to what he has done since he fought me. I can say is, he was a lucky fellow, and sometime I may break my silence regarding our fight at New Orleans.

"General Miles, after 40 years, concluded to break his silence. Now I intend to break my silence within the next six months. We have all heard of the story that was never told, but I have often wondered if the publio ever stopped to figure out why the odds were two, three and four to one that Corbett would win. Had I then the good friends that I have today, I think Corbett would have been like fly speck on the banks of the Alps." JIM CORBETT TO PLAY BASEBALL Jim Corbett will be found playing baseball again next season. He has organized a team at his summer home in Bayport, L.

and he will don a uniform and play with the amateurs of the village. Corbett will furnish most of the money to put the team in action, and will have associated with him a Cathollc priest, who is a warm admirer of the ex-champion, and greatly interested in the national game. Corbett years ago toured the country playing first base, and made a hit by the clever manner he held down the position made famous by Fred Tenney and EXERCISE DOES WHAT DOCTORS FAIL TO DO The San Francisco Women's Athletio association has made a fresh conquest. Miss Camille Lytton is the last young woman to place gymnastic stunts before fancy balls and pink teas, says the Examiner. She prefers, she says, athletics to prescriptions and patent medicines.

This is not an Idle fancy or a school girl's dream. Experience determined the choice. For a number of years 111 health was her portion. Her exercise was confined to the pianoforte and the embroidery needle. The doctors forbade physical exertion and athletic exercise.

The apothecary's nostrums and a gently heated living room, they said, were the approved health restorers. The advice was followed. For a spell it served its purpose. Then came the reaction, nature crying for nature's cure, the air and the waters, the deep taken breath and play of muscles. Friends suggested athletics.

Miss Lytton hesitated. Athletic women, or the 80 called new women, had received 90 much harsh criticism. The maidenly suspicion that there is something mannish, something unladylike in vigorous outdoor sports, beset her mind. But far off in the country, on a summer's vacation, the conventionality of the city was forgotten. A little rowing was indulged in, and the story is told.

One trial with the oars sufficed to enthuse her. More persuasive than the suggestions of her friends were the pure air and the muscular effort setting her. blood atingle and flushing her cheeks with the glow of health. On her return to the city tennis and other outdoor sports were added to rowing. Miss Lytton was getting to be a confirmed enthusiast.

Then came the organization of the San Francisco Women's Athletio association. Miss Lytton 6008 in this organization the completion of her plan for athletic enjoyment and development, and 18 about to seek admittance to the club. Her action will probably be quite a spur to the fair ones of her set, and if a good lead is followed the memberroll of the club will ba tially increased. TWENTY YEARS AGO. "Pop" Anson is quoted as saying: "They don't go to the ball games nowadays as they did 20 years ago.

The latter day fans want to see the visiting team cleaned up. Twenty years ago they went to see a good ball game, and it made no ditference which toam word! TULL GIBBS IN THE FIELD Plan to Have a Strong Baseball Team This Season. AS IT APPEARS TO OBSERVERS Was Reilly Bowling and General Sports. Did Goodman dope Jack Reilly? Did Jack Reilly dope himself? Did Jack Reilly lay down to McCarthy? McCarthy know anything about the fact that he was going to be made to win that fight at the S. A.

A. Does anybody know? If McCarthy knew these facts he did an awful lot of hard training to make his bluff good. Its pretty hard work to make Jerry train and work as hard as he did for the Reilly fight and yet belleve the battle was to be handed to him in a bottle. On the other hand, it was a cruel joke to dx it for McCarthy to win and then not let him know anything about it. If it was "doped" up that way McCarthy has an excuse to sue for mental anguish and pain caused by the uncertainty first six rounds.

During all this controversy there has not been a champion for Goodman. No one bobbed up to state that Goodman would not do such a thing if he had a feeling that way. The man accused of doing the dope trick has been accused of tricks before, and, if let them settle the quarrel that folfighters want that kind ref seconds, lows amonf themselves. From the showing the Seattle team made in Milwaukee the Spokane knights of the alleys might be fairly well up the line. The Seattle team made many friends here, but the chief joy that comes to the local bowlers is the fact that Seattle lost here, then did as well, if not better, than any other extreme western aggregation.

Bowling has become a great sport here, but in spite of that fact there is little offered as reward for the man who spends his time. Small tournaments are about all that are left open for the enthusiast and the city bowling league should get some action and give the best men a chance. Lajole is going down south early with his string of pitchers, it is said, and will take 15 new bats with him. If the new pitchers begin their preparation by serving them up to Larry they may all think they are very poor twirlers, because he is apt to hit their twisters all over the lot, and to the outside of the fence. Jim Kennedy, Jeffries' boxing partner, is having a "mushroom" ear amputated in an Oakland hospital.

A like office performed on the champion's right arm might act as a bar to future growths of like character. NORDYKE WANTS MORE MONEY "stonewall" infield is liable shot full of holes the men Tacoma's, who compose it do not come off their high perch. The whole trouble, it is said, has been caused by the four players who hold down the inner sections of the Tiger stronghold demanding more money than the management feels it can afford to pay. "Notwithstanding the fact that Tacoma won the pennant and furnished the northern fang with the best article of ball ever dished up on coast," says an exchange, "the owners did not make any money and consequently were not in position to give the players an increase in salary. The players a were tendered contracts for the coming season calling for the game amount that they received last year, and Fisher says each being liberally paid for his services.

The Bengal leader further says that unless Nordyke, Casey, Eagan and Sheehan signed up promptly he would look around for new talent and start the season with an entirely new infield. 1 "Harris has given Anderson his release, and if my stars don't soon begin to twinkle I shall be compelled to sign Andy and several other good men CO take their places," said Mike. "Under consideration will I release or trade them--they must play with Tacoma or quit the business. Why, all managers in the big leagues are cutting down salaries, and here these fellows want me to raise theirs. I would gladly give them all big increase 1f 1c were in my power to do 80, but when the owners are not making anything it 18 simply impossible to do it.

However, I am sure everything will turn out all right, and when the opening game looms up you'll see that bunch of champions all lined up ready for action." MAN AND MACHINE BOTH WENT BROKE George Wall, the Englishman, who thought he was going to break the bank of Monte Carlo with the aid of A. calculating machine the size of a cigarette case, has gone the way of countless other optimists. His machine for the first few days served him well, "says one writer, and won considerable at roulette. Then something went wrong with the calculations and Wall steadily lost until broke, but his belief in his machine is still firm." "It only needs a little perfecting." he is quoted as saying, "then it will work properly and the bank of Monte Carlo will surely go broke." The advent of Wall and his machine brought little alarm to the Casino officlals. Systems and men with mechanical devices for breaking the bank have been the mainstay of thim institution since Its inception.

Anyone who Investigates the mathematics of the roulette wheel knows that there 1g A constant per centage in favor of the bank, which will inevitably take all the winnings. It must be borne in mind that the result of past coups at the wheel is no guide to the result of future coups unless the wheel is out of order. There is no means of knowing whether at any given moment red or black or odd or even will next turn up. REINSTATED. C.

The Tull Gibbs baseball team will be reorganized this year and once more the team will be willing co meet all amateur organizations in the country. Long trips are being planned and a series of fast games will be scheduled. A.

Several members of the team have already gotten together and Roy Trasey, one of the best amateurs in the city, will be the heavy man on the pitching staff. Brownlee will catch and several other good men have been signed. The team will probably take the Montana trip again this year. TO RIDE AGAIN.

"Japanese youngsters, particularly those in the higher walks of life, are introduced into the rudimentary principles of the science as early in life as three years, and continue the study of the science into manhood and womanhood," it is stated.

means that years of careful, scientific exercise, with the attendant dietary observances, are given to this subject, and the benefits from it naturally are shown in a splendid physical development, and secondarily in the ability of the Japanese to resist personal attack. "In more familiar aspect of Jiu Jitsu principal consideration is the teach the use of the hands; the development of those muscles most prominent in case of an attack, and the avoidance of Injuries while acting in defense.
