FITZHERBERT SOLD FOR $40,000. Last Year's Champion 3-Year-Old 1. Disposed of by Hildreth. NEW YORK, Feb. Hildreth concluded negotiations this morning for the sale of his last season's 3-yearold champion, Fitzherbert, for $40,000, the largest price ever paid for a 4-yearold.

That Fitzherbert 1s regarded the best handicap horse in the country today, is proved by Handicapper Vosburgh's report, who is handicapping the three big turf classics to be decided this season. He has allotted top weight to Fitzherbert. The name of the purchaser was withheld, but from the fact that Frank Tay- lor, Hildreth's brother-in-law, has signed to train him, it can be inferred that a Charles Koehler, a wealthy piano facturer, is the purchaser. Koehler is a new turfite. He recently bought the colt, Uncle, from Hildreth as a nucleus for a breeding farm, and three of the highest priced yearlings at the recent Kentucky sale.

The Hildreth stable won more than $100,000 in purses, last season, and Fitzherbert nearly three-quarters of this amount. He is engaged in all the the rich handicaps. If be runs up to form displayed last season, Mr. Koehler has made a profitable turf investment. LAST NIGHT'S BOWLING SCORES.

The Negro Champion Charged With 1 Beating Norman Pinder sault for In a New York Saloon Two Weeks Ago, NEW YORK, Feb.

grand jury this afternoon handed down an indictment against "Jack" Johnson, champion heavy weight pugilist of the world, charging him with assault in the seoond degree. The latest of the pugilist's troubles is due to the complaint of Norman Pinder, who alleges that Johnson assaulted and beat him in a saloon in 'Vest Thirty-fifth Street about two weeks ago. Johnson was arrested at the time, but the readily secured bail and was released on Pinder $1,000 as he drinking in a saloon with eras so, negro, and swore that friends Johnson came in. Though they knew each other, Pinder said he did not buy Johnson a drink because the fighter was drinking wine. "That's the only stuff I drink," Johnson said.

Pinder says he replied that he knew the time when Johnson would be glad to drink beer. A fight followed in which tables were upset and when all the smoke cleared away Pinder looked as though he had been through a threshing machine, and he caused the arrest of Johnson. When the indictment was handed down, Johnson's attorney said he'd have Johnson appear in general sessions court tomorrow morning. The news of Johnson's indictment spread with great rapidity, and there was much, speculation as to the outcome. of the sports wondered whether the "big fight" would be terfered with.

In event of his conviction it might mean he could not begin training for his fight with Jeffries in Francisco, which is to take place en July 4, and therefore could not be in condition. IS HE COMING AFTER KLING! Frank Chance, Cub Manager, to Stop Over on His Way to Chicago. ARCADIA, Feb. Chance, manger of the Chicago National League club, who has piloted two world's championship baseball 1 teams, is of the opinion that his Cub team will be strengthened if Johnny Kling signs a contract with the Murphy crew the coming season. Chance says was the greatest catcher in the National League when he deserted the Chicago club in 1908.

It was his catching and timely hitting that gave the Cubs the pennant two years ago. "When Kling left the Windy City in the fall of 1908 he was the most finished receiver in the big league," Manager Chance said in discussing the return of Kling to the National game. "A year's lay off may put his right whip in poor condition but if John Kling is anywhere near his old form he will fit in behind the bat on the West Side grounds. Johnny always has been willing to train during the spring trip and it would not take much work to put him back in playing condition." leader is preparing to leave here a about the middle of this month and will stop over in Kansas City on his way to Chicago. He expects to spend several days with his former catcher.

The action of the grand jury in New York yesterday, which indicted "Jack" Johnson, the negro heavy weight pugilist, for an assault on Norman Pinder, a small negro, said to be suffering from tuberculosis, may prevent the fight between Johnson and Jeffries. Without going into the merits of this particular case or condemning Johnson before his trial, it appears that big black is suffering from a severe case of "swelled head." He has been going country getting arrested for various offenses. The principal charge up to this last affair appears to be his desire to break into print for exceeding the motor car speed limit.

This may please his vanity, but it is not helping his popularity with the white race. If the charges are true that he kicked Pinder in the face because he refused to buy him wine, it stamps Johnson as a big "bully," and he should be compelled to pay the penalty for his offense. While it no doubt would be a big disappointment to see the Jeffries Johnson fight postponed, it would be more on account of the public's failure to see Jeffries give the negro a good trimming than through any sympathy at the failure of the two to get together and settle the question. It Johnson gets out of this serape he had better settle down and attend to business or may euchre himself out of an opportunity to make more money than he ever saw. If George Little expects to get any consideration for his fighter he better start a reform crusade.

OPENING GAME TO CLINE. Calvin Demarest Defeated in First Block of 18-2 Billiard Mateh, 343 to 500. CHicaGo, Feb. P. Cline of Philadelphia took the lead over Calvin Demarest of Chicago, the international champion, in the opening block of their match for the world's championship tonight.

FISK ROBINSON BANKRUPT INVOLUNTARY PETITION FILED BY CREDITORS OF THE EASTERN BANKERS Shrinkage of Railway Stocks and Bonds the Cause--Its Liabilities About 8 Million Recelver Named.

NEW YORK, Feb. Robinson, bond dealers and members of the New York Stock Exchange, failed for a million dollars today. An involuntary petition in bankruptey was filed by creditors in the United States district court and Bronson Winthrop was appointed receiver with a bond of $50,000. Shrinkage in the yalue of Buffalo Susquehanna Railway stocks and bonds held by the firm caused the failure. The failure is one of the largest since the panic of 1907, not so much as llabilities are concerned, but in view of the importance of the firm, which has branches in Chicago, Boston and Worcester.

PRINCIPALLY A BANKING BUSINESS. The firm was founded in 1899 by Harvey Edward Fisk, the eldest son of Harvey Fisk, the banker, and George Robinson, who had been in the employ of the banking firm of Harvey Fisk Sons. Mr. Robinson is a member of the stock exchange, but the business of the firm was principally a banking and the floating of bonds. The bustition in bankruptcy was filed with the full consent of the firm, its members having concluded that this was only way to avoid further losses for itself and Its creditors.

Fisk Robinson's liabilities amount to $6,847,968, of which $1,212,349 was placed with the firm on deposit. The assets, if they could be realized at the figures set upon them last Friday by the firm, would exceed the liabilities by $112,644, but in view of the fact that $4,428,444 are in securities which are virtually unmarketable at this time, the deficit is apparently great. FAILURE NOT UNEXPECTED. Little surprise was manifested at the failure in banking circles, where it was said that the firm received several extensions of credit the past year. had, In addition to the securities mentioned, the firm was also identified with a number of small railways and several sylvania dependent and telephone Ohio.

Among companies the in Penn- roads whose bond issues it endeavored to float were the Louisiana Arkansas Railway, San Antonio Aransas Pass and Gulf Ship These issues have had no very satisfactory market and added to the drain on the firm's resources.

NEW YORK, Feb.

Keogh of Rochester tonight led Thomas Hueston of St. Louis, the title holder, by 410 to 368, at the end of the second block of 200 points in the 600-point match for the pool championship, being played in the Concert Garden of the New York Theater. The actual net scores for the evening were: Keogh, 202; Hueston, 201, and the session terminated in the twenty seventh frame. Keogh wound up with a high run of 46, his other high runs being 18 twice and 16. Hueston had high runs of 28, 21 and 16, all of which were made in the early part of the match.

When the pair resumed operations, Keogh led his opponent by 209 points to 168. The Rochester man opened the second session, and Hueston replied by pinking off the one ball from a combination. This gave him an opening, and he quickly potted the entire fifteen. For eight frames, the champion played at 8 great rate, and at the end of the fourth had run fifty points, while his opponent had notched ten. This brought the totals to Keogh, 219; Hueston, 218.

After Keogh had gathered in thirteen of the fifteen in the fifth frame, Hueston seized an opportunity in the sixth frame and cleared the table. This placed the champion in the lead for the first time, with a total of 235 to 232. The ninth frame was nothing but a succession of safety plays, and, after each bad had seven innings, in which Hueston was unfortunate not to score from a brilliant masse shot. Keogh in his eighth inning, pinked off eight at the upper end of the table. He, however, left nothing for his opponent, nor was It until his ninth inning that Keogh holed the remaining seven.

Thus Hueston had had eight sessions in one frame without pocketing a ball. Keogh, who now led by 261 to 250, maintained the lead until the twelfth frame, when Hueston played the one ball off a combination and rammed in the entire fifteen balls. The score at this point was: Hueston 284, Keogh 272, or on the actual night's play, Hueston 117, Keogh 63. After this Hueston drew blanks from three successive frames and at the completion of the fifteenth frame the total was, Keogh 317, Hueston 284. In the seventeenth frame the Rochester representative left Hueston a combination after opening the frame.

The latter never left the table until it was cleaned up. The scores now were: Keogh 323, Hueston 306, or on the night's play, Hueston 139, Keogh 114. Keogh replied by picking off 14 in the next frame, which raised his total to 337 against 307 for his opponent. ADVERTISEMENT.
