DINEEN PRfIUTY COMBINATION IS TIRING BUT IT WILL TAKE ALMOST A COMPLETE COLLAPSE TO KEEP LEADER IN 72-HOUR EVENT FROM COPPING THE COIN. Starting the Fifth Day I Dmeen. 223 miles, 13 Prouty, 216 miles, 1 lap; Davis, 199 miles, 7 laps; Loeslein, 195 miles, 10 laps; Shelton, 190 miles, 5 laps; Feeney, 185 miles, 13 laps, Klubertanz, 178 miles, 8 laps; Day, 178 miles, 2 laps; Teagle, 168 miles, 6 laps; Ownby, 152 miles, 13 laps. With 42 of the 72 already reeled off in the race now in progress in the Light Guard armory and Dineen and Prouty well ahead in first and second positions, the race now devolves itself into the simple question: Are the constitutions of the Boston pair up to the task of keeping them i In motion for the remaining 30 hours during which the event is to progress? Last night both Dlneen and Prouty Showed signs of extreme fatigue. Davis, the Indian, is now in third place and through the 10 hours of racing yesterday, showed increasingly good condition.

In fact, at the close, he running stronger than either of he leaders. Klubertanz, the Rochester runner, was forced to let down in his strenuous chase of Dineen and Prouty, the muscles of his calves cramping badly. If this happens to either of the leaders, it is pretty certain that, during their absence from the track, Davis will be making hay. It was rumored round the track during the afternoon that Feeney, one of the runners, had been "touched" for having left the money In his locker. One of the attendants is suspected, though no arrests have been made as yet.

As Feeney is now running in sixth place and promises to have trouble increasing his position at the finish, he stands to quit the event considerably out in pocket. OASTOniA. Boan the Kind You Hive Atom Boutfit CLEVELAND AA ROUND 9A TRIP EXCURSION SUNDAY, DEC. Train Uelrnlt Rruak-irt. station, 7 a.

RIDERS SNOOZE ON WHEELS AS CROWD SNORES IN SEATS NEW YORK, Doc. men on bicycles actually slept through the early hours this morning as they mov- ed at a funeral procession's pace about the track at Madison Square Garden. They were too fatigued to know or to care that they were In the six-day bicycle race that is to end tomorrow night. Their ejght partners were sleeping on their cots in the training and more than 5,000 men and women In the garden seem to I care either. Many of these on the hard seats or in the boxes, were asleep with head In hands, or necks bent far back and giving forth nasal sounds I rhat reminded one of a loaded truck needing axle grease.

So slow was the pace that at 9 the riders, who have been ahead bf the record most 1 of the time Bince the start, had fallen behind that of Miller and Waller in 1899. It was evident that the hours after midnight, when a man's vitality is the lowest, when he is compelled to spur himself on by sheer will and determination, were counting against the riders. At 6 o'clock this morning when the gray of dawn began to slitter through the garden, now' a fog of smoke and choking with foul air, the eight riders began to pedal a little faster. It was not noticeable at first. No man tried to take the lead, but there seemed more vitality, more life among them.

So when tile 6 score was posted the men had picked up a mile und two laps of the lost record. Rutt and Stol are going to win this six-day race Just as thsy did last year, or a lot of men have gon t- wrong in the betting. "I'm going to win this race, too," Rutt said as Stol came to relieve him shortly after 6 "You may not know It, but I do. My condition Is better today than It was on Bunday. SPORT VIEW'S and REVIEW'S TN ITS to give their patron the very beat of It all round, the American league In session duly assembled, according to report, decided to soak every score-card concessionaire who forward on any afternoon next season with a batting order that Incorrect.

The discovery of this new goat been celebrated by the announcement that every break on the card will be punished by a fine of $lO with no alternative of lmprtson- SCOIUi: ment. Presumably each manager will be sup(joat. posed to hand the score-card man his batting order enough time before the game to permit the printer to run off the day's supply. IX the managers do this and then stick to something like an approximation of the order, the millennium will have arrived But the chances are that Fielder Jones, Joe Cantlllon. Fred and one or two other executives will find It hard to break the of years.

for Clarke Griffith, well he would be sure to bankrupt every score-card vendor In the big league. Ptlll fresh in the minds of every occupant of the Detroit press box must remain the vision of poor "Puggy." chief or the Detroit sellers, as. on the eve thp game of a New York series he would hectically invade the confines of the enclosure and compare his card with the batting order on one of the scorers' books, only to hurry again, madly tearing his hair and shrieking maledictions on the scrappy little boss of the Yankees who had a different batting order every day. The bulletin board idea is one that Is characteristically Johnsonian. It an unquestioned Improvement and will surely add vastly to the enjoyment of the crowds who will be informed in this way of every change that ti kes place In the lines of battle during the progress of a game.

The grrut hold possessed by professional baseball on the sport-loving populace is found in its perfect Intelligibility. The regular fans are all experts and want every bit of Information at hand. The more Intimate this knowledge the more enjoyment they will receive and the more prosperous tlu. game will be in tho long ruh. THE recent trade by which the Boston club comes into possession of Catcher Spencer, while the Browns secure Lou Crlger is unique in fact that the deal Involves the swap of the slimmest catcher In big league hall for the fattest.

Crlger is tullt on the order of the lath while Spencer resomblcs the keg. The one is tall, spindling and Blender, the other fat, pudgy and weighty. From this distance it looks as if Boston has hurt Itself more by the deal than has St. Louis. Crlger unquestionably be sorely missed.

It DICKER. Is said that he and Young had their battery work down to such a fine science that virtually no signs ever passed between them. In coaching Boston's young pitchers. Crlger was a tower of strength. In neither place will Spencer be able to plug the gap.

The latter Is, however, a better hitter and a younger man. In spite of his habits, iic should be good for many years yet In big league baseball. Perhaps In Boston hie will take better care of himself than In St. Louis. With the seasoned members of the Brown pitching staff, particularly Waddell.

he did very well. Whether he can hold the clip with Uncle Cy and the kindergarten assistance Cy gets In the box. remains to be seen. He Is naturally one of the greatest catchers ever born. There may be Ulterior purposes back of the change on both sides.

On the surfaco It looks as neither side has been anything but a loser, however. The trado Is also Interesting in the light which It sheds on the continued policy of Magnate Taylor of the Boston club to weed out every one of the veterans who were members of the club at tho time he became its owner: Mr. Taylor takes himself very seriously. It Is his belief that he Is a real baseball genius. He wants to oignnlxe a dub which will show the fact to the world.

Were he In condition to brave the wrath of his clientele would undoubtedly chop off Cy Yeung's gray dome of thought and Cy Is the only veteran remaining It Is doubtful at that If one more year will not Cy's finish in Beantown. Mr. Taylor believed last year that his team was as good as any In thn league. failure to win was a sad blew, It falls again, the efTect will piobably send Mr. Taylor about, biting at the legs of ths chairs Did you know that Longboat holds the worlds record for a Marathon run ap 2:24:24.

Dec. they tell a fellow he has at least one foot In the grave, put him on a train and ship him out with long faces which tell him that they think it is a trip to the centetery by a roundabout way, then he fools them all and wins out in the fight for life, there is certainly'some sport In it. was anew game to me, but 1 soon got on to its twists, and you can say for Jake Schaefer that grim reaper was given a bum steer when he made a trip up my way looking for a victim several months Thus spoke Jacob Schaefer, one of the greatest billiard players the world has ever known, at his pretty little home at No. 3317 Osceola-st. The veteran who won championship after championship for 25 yeari or more came to Denver four months ago from hia home in Chicago weighing but 95 pounds, advised by Ms physicians that the high altitude was the only hope for his life.

He was carried from the train to a cab, and taken from the cab to his present home, which had been fixed up for him oy bis Denver friends, among them Fred Eames, the fumous billiard player, who is now a prosperous Denver business man. When the veteran billiard master came to Denver he was-the 18.1 billiard champion of the world. The championship is no longer his, for George Sutton challenged for the title when he knew Schaefer was too ill to play, and took the championship by forfeit, for the rules of billiards make death the only excuse for a champion not playing when challenged. action was most unsportsmanlike, considering that he Ihad plenty of opportunity of challenging at a time when he Schaefer could play, but did not do so. It is the third time that the Near Yorker has taken the title by forfeit twice from being won back three times by the little man frotn Chicago who rtow calls Denver bis from Sutton.

action, according to Mrs. Schaefer, was better than any medicine. for it aroused her fighting spirit into the determination to get well and win back the emblem from the man who ignored all the polite ethics of the profession when he took the title by forfeit in such a manner.

The Wilkesbarre correspondent of Sporting News says that Manager Kittredge, of the Wilkesbarre team, has purchased from Detroit the release of Pitcher Malloy, who finished the season in fine style in the Central league. Malloy showed plenty of pitching ability in his Detroit try-out but failed to get inter shape and would have slight chance to break into the. regular ranks with the champions next year.

Oarrels, of Detroit, the famous hurdler and football star of the University of Michigan two years has promised to take part in a jjrofrHslon.il game of football. belnf arranged for Christmas day the University of Si. Loufi alumni and a team from Chicago. Oarrels will play fullback, it la said. If this Information is well founded, it will amount to a permanent retirement from the field of amateur sport for the athlete who won so many points for Michigan on the field and track.

Oarrels Is now at work in Granite City, near Bt. Louis. pitchinTdope SWITCHED ACAIN By ROBERT B. McROY (American League Statistician.) My attention has been called to pitching records of Mullln and Willetts, of Detroit. In the.

game of July 18, at Philadelphia, the official scorer In that city failed to fill in the name of the losing pitcher for the Detroit club. According to the pitching records. Mullln retired at the end of the fifth Inning, and the score shows that the Detroit club was one run behind at that point. However, Detroit made one run in the first half of the sixth Inning ami the score was tied, whan Willetts took Mullin'g place. The Philadelphia club made seven runs off Willetts and he should have been charged with the defeat.

This would make the pitching records of the two twlrlers as follows: Willetts won 16, lost 9, tied none, taken out 1, finished 6, percentage Mullln woo 17, lost 12, tied 1, taken out 4, finished 6, percentage .586. 1 would liks Mt, Mullln to receive the credit due him. 1 G.

They are Doc Newton, who showed little class last season; Vaughan. the big Arkansas recruit; Wilson, from the Connecticut league; Schmidt, from Baltimore, and Friel. whom Stallings brought over from Newark..
