Peter Pcth, a youug Lake View
player, or whom George Bangnrt pre
dicted great things, more than made
good the prediction recently when he
made a world's record average of
253 1-3. The feat was accomplished
in a regular series In the Lake View
league, In which the Erica opposed
the Oakdales. Peth is a member of
the former team and put together

John L. Sullivan in Difficulties.
John L. Sullivan has become a legal
bankrupt. The big fellow was begin
n;ng to make money doing a mono
logue turn and his creditors kept serv
ing writs of attachment against his
salary. Thl3 so annoyed the ex-cham-plon
that he bought the advlco of
Mannle Friend. Tho latter suggested
supplementary proceedings, and Sul
llvnn availed-himself of the protection
this affords.
Important Wrestling Matches.
Efforts will bo made to revive
wrestling this winter. Tom Jenkins,
champion entch-as-catch-can wrest
ler of the world, has signed to meet
three of the best men in tho business
on the mat within the next couple of
months. Joseph Carroll, who recent
ly arrived In this country, will be his
lirst opponent. Carroll claims the
championship of Ireland and England,
but Is not known on this side. He Is,
however, touted as a clever perform
er In the wrestling line. After Car
roll, Jenkins will meet Dan McLcod,
the Canadian, who has proved a ter
ror to many of the crack wrestlers
In this country. McLeod and Jenk
ins met once before, but tho latter
was not satisfied with the result and
Is willing to hot the champion all
kinds or money on the outcome of
tbe present match. John Plenlng,
the New York "Dutchor Boy," will
bo Jenkins' third competitor. Plen
lng Is no of tho best men on tho
mat today. Our engraving Is from

A Veteran Baseball Figure.
Frank C. Hancroft. the business
manager of the Cincinnati club, has
been for many years n prominent llg
uro In baseball. Ho llrst stnrted In
tho game In 1877 and 1b still In the

harness. Bancroft Is a Massachu
setts product, born In tho town of
Lancaster. Hu was a ball player In
the early days nnd then Imbibed the
love of tho sport that has nlwnys
stuck to him. In '7S ho organized n
nine In New Dedford nnd won the
championship of the state with It.
The next season ho managed the
"Hop Bitters" team and took It on a
tour of Cuba. In '7SI nnd '80 ho pilot

'82 ho was with Detroit; In 'SI! he was
with Cleveland; then lie went to Prov
idence nnd nchleved great success in
that city as long as It continued In
tho National League. The Cincin
nati club would not look right- If It
went along the circuit without
"Danny."
Some Big Salaried Jockeys.
Six American jockeys aro receiving
princely salnrles from millionaire
horse owners for their services In
this country and abroad. The engage
ment of Luelen Lyne by the Keenes
at. $20,000 for next year Is the latest
addition to tho list. "Danny" Maher
has earned $::.',000 in England this
season as King Edward's Jockey. Otto

Jockeys Restored to Favor.
As was expected those two clever
"knights of tho pigskin," "Tommy
and "Johnny" Burns and Uullman
whose licenses were revoked by the
Jockey club In the East early In tho
fall, have been restored to good
standing and will now endeavor to
show Jerry RniiBch, Leo Jackson,
"Monk" Coburn, nnd the rest of the
lesser lights who are at present car
rying off tho jockey honors on the
coast, a few things about rough rid
ing which they never knew.
Coburn, however, hns little to learn
In this respect, and it may be that he
can give his celebrated rivals a point
er or two not In their catalogue.
John Condon's Sight Improving.
John Condon, owner of the Harlem
race track, is taking a course of
treatment in tho hope of restoring his
sight, and if he thinks it is likely to
prove successful, wholly or in part,
he will remain in Chicago until Feb. 1.
The mnster of Harlem lost his sight
four years ago, and since that time
has consulted the best specialists in
this country and Europo without re
lief. His present treatment has been
partially successful, as he Is now
able to distinguish snmo objects. He
can determine the outline of a man's
head and nt dinner tablo Is able to
distinguish cups, knives, forks, and
similar articles.

History of "Carmen."
Bizet, the fnmous composer of "Car
men." mid Hnlevy. his librettist, had
a warm argument over tho original
score of the toreador song. When
Blet submitted It to Halovy's Judg
ment tho latter remarked that It was
good too good, in rnot.
"It's so good," he continued, "that
It will never be popular. Tho public
won't comprehend It. You ought to
put inoie snap and swing Into It, and
then you'll get your encores."
"Gient heavens!" letorted the
piiiued Blr.ot. "do you want mo to
willo for the slums?" and ho went
out of tho room In a huff. Thinking
over his associate's advice, however,
ho concluded to try the effect of a
revision, and so changed the score
thnt It bore but little resomblnnco to
Its original estate.
"Listen to this." he said, returning
to Halovy's apartment; "here Is my
toreador Idea written down to your
IHipular level."
Hnlevy warmly approved of the new
score, nnd the song was given as wo
now have It.' It was the great success
of the llrst night, while tho rest of the

Chorus Girl's Determination.
Paulino Chase, who gained fa mo In
a night by appearing In "Tho Liberty
Belles" in a pair of pink pajamas, be
lieves that she has discovered tho se
cret of success on tho atago. Paulino
never hopes to be a great actress, in
all probability, but she does Intend
to become u "great" chorus girl, and
refuses absolutely to take her place
In the tlrst row back, where Kite be
longs. Harry B. Smith, who Is still writing
librettos, In spite of public or mana
gers, Is to map out a part for Miss
Chase, In a new musical comedy,
which he hns under way. The chorus
girlie will not tell what It Is to be
like, probably because she tlooMi't
know, but the other day she admitted
to a friend that, while she would not
wear pajamas In tho new part, sho
would do something 'quite as start

Herewith ate given facsimiles of
the signatures of two stage cnrleutiir
Istfi clowns some people call them,
but they are rather more than that.
Ono, Mr. Daniels, is a pcculltiily deft
caricaturist. The other, Mr. Fny, Is
not so deft, but their methods are In
a way Identical, being founded on the
Idea of burlesquing the palpable croch

Greenroom Gossip.
Edwin Stevens Is to succeed Oscar
ABehe in "Iris" when tho play comes
to Chicago. Mr. Asehe goes back to
London to rejoin Beerbohm Tree's
company.
Meyer Helmund, whose songs arc
known In the United States, has writ
ten an opera, "Trlsjika," which has
been accepted by the management of
tho Royal Opera for production this
season.
Duse has decided to abandon her
projected Australian tour. Owing to
the great business depression In thnt
country at tho present time tho finan

doubtful.
Arthur NlklHch, formerly conductor

Next Year's Princeton Team.
Tho Princeton season Is over, and
already It Is In order to look forward
to next year. The outlook Is better
for a stronger team In I U0H than It wus
for 1002. Most of the piesent playoni
will be on hand next year, among
them Davis, Bradley. Brown, ltiifloily,
Short. Harney, Iteed and Foulke. Then
their- are Burke and Kafer, two of tho
best men behind tho Hue, whum In
Juilos kepi out of the Yale game. Tho
loss of thoHo two men turns out to bo
more fciIiiiih than wan expected. Pear
sou did not till Burke's shoes at quar
ter us a defensive player or at run
ning hack piiutK, nnd Kafer was the
best line plugger of the Princeton
squad. There will bo much conjecture
as to whether Chndwlck would hnvo
got clear had Burke been playing back.
Dutchor, the big Andover guard, who
was hurt early In tho season and was
able to get In but little prnetlce. will
doubtless help strengthen Princeton's
lino next year. Their rivals lose morn
men by graduation than do the Tlgeni,
r.nd Old Nnhsnu's outlook for next
year Is as good as anybody's.
M.iny Fatalities This Season.
A resume of the foot ball In 1002,
carefully compiled fiom all sections
of tho country, shows thnt tho game
hns claimed more victims this sea
son than ever before. Flfteeu have
died ns a result of accidents on tho
gridiron. More than 100 minor hurts
have been recorded, ranging all tho
way from concussion of the brain and
Insanity, down the list through Injur
ed spines, crushed skulls, broken legs
nnd nrtus, to such smaller matters ns
broken ear drums nnd tho tearing
loose of ribs.
The casualties were, for tho greater
pnrt. coiitlued to the smnller and less
experienced teams, as the Indiscrimi
nate and often fntnl piling up of play
ers Is most common to those who nro
not well nrqualnted with the game.
And, on the other hand, the "big"
elevens do not piny their hardest
until a long period of training nnd
hardening bus been gone through.
Sheet Iron Football Armor.
Football "armor" used by the Uni
versity ot Colorado team In a recent
game was exhibited at the Denver
Athletic club. Two shoulder plates'
lined with sheet Iron, a sheet Iron
breast plate, and a hand guard also
lined with sheet Iron constituted tho
exhibits. One of tho shoulder plecr.-H
has the name "Tonkin" carved on It,
nnd It Is clnlmed was worn by that
played In the game. Tho breast plate
Is also said to have covered his manly
chest. The Iron was riveted hack t
the leather, between It and tho felt
lining, nud Irom appearances made i
formidable bulwark' oi offense or do
fense.
Michigan the Champion.
The football championship of (he
West for the season or 1002 has been
decided and the Wolverines lauded
the premier honors.
Coach "Hurry Up" Yost's wondcrrul
machine wound up Its succcssrul sen
sou on Us own grounds with a vic
tory over Minnesota by a score or 211
to ;. The Gophers made one touch
down. It was the result or a fluke,
and If the Mlnnesotu side of the score
woro a blank, the llgures would bet
ter Indicate the true difference be
tween the teams.
It was Michigan's game from tho
start. Never did the great team that
Coach Yost has built up In the last
two years appear In danger or defeat.
COt. flHHIf HM0 anolrttol
Seven minutes after tho gamo started
the WolvcrlncB made their first touch
down, Maddock crossing tho Gopher'a
goal line. Twenty minutes later Hos
ton went round Minnesota's left end
for nnothor ucoro. Both goals wore
kicked, and the score stood 12 to 0 In
tho Wolverines' favor when the half
ended.
No one expected to see the Gophers
score In tho first period of tho play
Michigan, although meeting a stub
born resistance, had showed Itself to
bo the Minnesota team's superior In
ecry department of tho game. But
luck was against tho Ann Arborltes.
Early In tho second half, when Minne
sota was rorced to punt, Cnpt. Flynn
m m . iaBBrr, . .n
broke through the Hue, got tno ball,
and, with a clear Held before him,
tan Ihlrty-llve yards for a touchdown.
It was n llukiv "Boss" Weeks wan
slnndlug with his hands outstretched
I:) catch tho ball. Ho never got more
than his linger tips on it. Flyun was
racing down the Held and out reached
Weeks. He picked tho ball right off
the Michigan eaptnlnV lingers, tucked
It miller his arm, nnd raced on to llm
Wolverine goal.
Ranking of "Big Nine."
While the elinmploiiKhlp Is Michi
gan's beyond dispute there Is bound
to be much discussion about the far
ther ranking of the other "big nine"
teams. There Is but little to cIioohc
' ' v
between Mlunosotn and Chicago for
second place. In their comparative
showing ngnlust Michigan Chicago
vfiH tho better defensively and Min
nesota the stronger in offense.
Against Wisconsin, however, Chica
go's offense whh probably stronger
than It was when tho Maroons met
Michigan. Only an actual meeting
would decide which team would wlu,
although, from my observation, 1
would bo Inclined to pick Minnesota.
To call it a tie for second position Is
no hardshp for either team, and t'.io
best way out of tho IWcutWJgejH--
sin Is elenrly luitywT,

condition. With the election of "Dlxlo"
Fleagor to the enptnlney, tho students
am now Interested in what Is to bo

Tho board or control, which directs
nil athlctlcH at the university, will not
meet to take action on this question
until some; time In Junuary, but al
ready tho agitation fop a change In
eoachcR Is under way. Buck of this
is not only the opposition to Coach
Holllster on the part of the alumni,
but tho members of this year'H team
aro In fnvor of bringing to Northwest
ern next season a now coach.
It Is reported that several men aro
now under consideration, the choice
or alumni and players being Walter
McCornack, coach or Dartmouth Col

'results this season. If he cannot be
secured tho choice may bo G. Foster
