'which ahe waa turned out Together with
jthe Todd colt, the Bolon Orattan filly and
IKosy Worthy, she will be pointed for the
S110S futurities and In One of the quartet
Thoma has better Shan an average chance
;f finding one able to win iwoney In the
; big atakes for young trotters. With Toa

degree that make working them, aa a
take colt must be. trained, ft hasardous
proposition, so they will be bred In the
spring, trained only enough to enable
them to take standard records, and raced
Jn their aged form after their colta are
weaned. . .
Six 2 year olds, every one already a fast
trotter, are In training, aa follows:
Most Worthy, ch. f., sister to Alta Ax
worthy and More Worthy.
Lady Kitty, by Irish, (p), 2:0UT dam

Filly by Moko; dam Sorrento (dam of
Jayhawker. etc.), by Grand Sentinel.
Most Worthy, the third member of the
Alta Axworthy tribe, was an extra good
yearling, and It Is no secret that Thomas
who bred, trained, and drove Alta to her
, record and then sold her for II 3,000 to go
abroad, has jgreat hopes for and -confidence
In the baby of the lbt.
Great Speed' Ms4 Worthy.
Last July this youngster trotted an
ighth In :17tt, which simply Is phenome
nal speed for a yearling at that acaaon,
.Indicating if she bad been drilled until
iate In the fall she would have stepped a
quarter around :3S something few yearl
" lng have been able to do. But Thomas.
' who knows full well that a 2-ycar-old trot
ter which-starts In the atakes must un
dergo hard training, never takes anything
out of hi yearlings once he Is satisfied
Ihey haves speed of the right sort.-
As for Lady Kitty, ahe trotted an eighth
In :ltA aa yearling, and Thomas thlnka
the best thing that, can be said of her Is
that ahe much resemble her aire Irish,
Which was in 10 converted from the
pace to the trot by Thomas and made
peed faster than any other horse ever did,
trotting a trial mile in 2:04H and convinc
ing his trainer he waa the fastest trotter
In the world. Other good Judges thought
so. too, and the death of Irish Was ft hard
blow to the turf. The dam of Lady Kitty
is by Axworthy, a' great aire of colt trot
ters, and the dam of her sire waa by Mo
Klnnoy. a stallion which Thoma thinks
Veil of aa a aire of early speed.
Three of the 2 year olds he Is training
are McKInneys. and the Nebraska trainer
Is willing to go on record right now as
predicting that In the above lot there la
at leaat one crackajack 2-year-old trotter.

the betting. It was on January 8 that
Workaday scored at the Fair Grounds with
69 to 1 about him. Two weeks later Hua
pala went over the plate at Ascot Park
quoted at ft similar price. Dokaber, another
0 to 1 hot, won at New Orleans on Wash
ington's, birthday. The first successful 100
to 1 shot was Gold Heather, who scored
at 'Oakland on February 23. At Ascot Park
on March t and T, respectively, Teddy McC,
0 to 1, and Tattenham. SO to 1, came home
In front. Halbard, 6(1 to 1. counted at the
Fair Grounds on March 19. while on the
same day at the same track Henry O..
at B0 to 1, went over successfully. Three
days later, also at the Fair Grounds,' Jungle
Imp scored at 60, after which, at Oakland
on March 2B. Wlcklow, quoted at SO to 1,
passed the Judge In triumph. Larsen, a
100 to 1 shot, also succeeded at Oakland
on March 27, with Bornl Cramer, a 60 to
1 chance, scoring at .City Park on April 11.
The first successful lorur shot on the Metro
politan tracks wa Fresh, 60 to 1, won
at Aqueduct on April 19. Crack Shot and
Hal. both BO to 1 shots, won at Belmont
Park on May 17 and, 18, respectively. It
was on Decoration day at Churchill Downs
that Moonlight Murphy, a 75 to 1 shot,
reached the wire In front, while Cora Du-
sant, also at 75 to 1, wa successful at 'the
same track on Juno 7.
Llda B., GO to 1, was the tangent p 1 e 1
Winner at Montreal, where 'she won on
June 1L ' Cygnet, a 60 to 1 chance,, got the
money, at Latonia a few days later, while
about the same time Lille- B., 50 to 1, was
victorious at Oakland. Little Woods, the
only 100 to 1 shot that Von on tjne New
York tracks, went over the plate at Graves
end on June 18. The next day Park Row,
60 to 1, won at the same track, but was
disqualified. Baby Wolf, neglected at 60
to 1, wa a surprise At Shecpshead Bay on
June 28. Louis' Roederer, 60, to 1, won at
Buffalo on July IS. Another BO to 1 shot.
Little Osage, scored at Lexlngtorf on.j3e.p-'
rich, 60 to L won at. the same track a few
days after. Baby Willie, a 60 to 1 shot,
was an eye opener at Bennlng on Novem
ber 21, while the last successful long shot
of the year wa Edith R., who came home
at Oakland on December 6 with odds of
GO to 1. Considering the number of races
run on all American and Canadian tracks,
a comparatively email number of long
priced horses landed the coin, and nearly
all of these mentioned above won with
practically no backing.
M0RAN AFTER ATT ELL 1 AGAIN
Mttle Brtllsher Talk of Former Meet
. ins ftid Prospects for Second '
NEW, YORK, Jan. 25. Owen Morani ha
returned to New York," and, like all suc
cessful fighters, rapidly becoming an actor.
He hasn't tackled the drama yet, but con
tents himself with boxing. Moran agrees
with the reports from San Francisco that
he was entitled to the decision In his fight
with Abe Attell. He doesn't say It boast
fully. He just remarks that In his opinion
Jeffries la a great, big, good-natured slob,
who doesn't like to hurt anybody' feel
Ings by giving a close fight to the fellow
with a shade, and that Jeff was ft little
bit mistaken when he let Attell 'off easy
and gave him a draw.
"I was rawther surprised to find Attell
such a mark for a straight jab," said
Moran. "I had an idea that he'd have a
marvellous blocking system that I couldn't
get through. But you know Attell ha
always been more clever than the men he
haa fought, and a clever man is a sucker
for the same kind of work he uses him
self. I began jabbing Able on the nose
Ht didn't like It. When I had him mad
I slipped In a few heavy body punches. By
the third or fourth round he began to feel
afraid of me. Then he began calling me
rotten , names, and trying to make me
lose my head. I knew then he must feel
worried, so I just laughed at htm and
asked him toquit until I finished him. I
went arier mm nara and lie ran. There
Isn't a long distance runner In England
who could beat the record Attetl made
after the fourth round. -
"I'll fight Attell any time now at 122 at
S o'clock, but he won't fight If he can
crawl out of It. If I can't get him Battling
Nelson or some of those fellows will do.

WITH TflE COLLEGE ATHLETES

East and West.
WITHDRAWAL OF ANN ARBOR
Mleblaaa's Withdrawal from Co fer
e-ace Means Mark to Eastern
, last Hatloaa Bis Problems
Confront Wolverines.
Th formal letter of Withdrawal haying
been sent to the other eight member of
the conference of colleges of the middle
west, Michigan now is going it alone.
Those who have followed the progress of
the disagreement between the Wolverines
and the other In the conference body
have been expecting nothing elae. Michi
gan has been unwilling to suffer from th
effect of ft retroactive rule that cut off
her best athlete and made the team at
the institution weaker for the benefit of the
other Institutions represented In the con
ference. A matter now stand tne scnea
tiles arranred by the Michigan athletic
managers may no longer Include the team
of Chicago. Northwestern, Iowa, Nebraska,
Purdue, Minnesota, Wisconsin or Indiana.
The Big Eight will not be eligible to meet
any of the Michigan athletlo teams, ac
cording to ft ruling, made by the confer
ence.
Michigan will be thrown back chiefly
upon the colleges of the east for it larger
competition. The university will be gov
erned by the rules Of the universities that
it meet by contract for each individual
contest. At present Michigan Is Identified
with the east to this extent: There Is an
annual foot ball game with the University
of Pennsylvania, which by contract will be
held certainly for two seasons more, and
the track athletes take part In the games
of the Intercollegiate Amateur Athletic as
sociation, Instead of In the conference
championship. What Michigan will, lack
will be chiefly base ball games, although
It Is likely that some of the eastern teams
-a-lit arrange to make trip to the section
It will be possible for the easterner to
play other teams In that section without
in the least affecting the isolation of Mich
igan, Cornell May Make lrn.
From New York to Ann Arbor Is a matter
of no more than eighteen hours by railroad
train. New York 1 ft central point of de
parture for many of the eastern colleges,
so that .Ann Arbor, although regarded by
many as very western, Is not really so.
Since Michigan has to fall back upon the
east, It is as well to realise now that Mich
Igan Is not so far off in considering the
hancea of schedule' making for the Wol
verines. It Is likely that to replace the
dual track meet with Chicago, Michigan
will try to get one of the most prominent
colleges of this section out to Ann Arbor.
Indeed It .is more than likely that Cornell
and Michigan . will resume relations that
wore broken off some time ago. Cornell
and Michigan used to have track meets
indoors. . .
There -wa. a disagreement over eligi
bility rules, which brought to an end this
series of competitions. Cornell objected
greatly to letting Michigan back Into the
InterooUegiate Amateur Athletic associa
tion, but since then the feeling has been
smoomea over, (jorneu neeas ft auai moet
besides the one with Princeton. The Penn
sylvania-Cornell dual meet apparently has
been shoved aside. Cornell wanted to meet
Harvard, but the Cambridge men this sea
son had a full schedule with Dartmouth,
Yale and the intercolleglates to, face, and
for that reason declined to meet the Itha
cansv' Cornell is nearer to Michigan than
most of the other colleges hereabouts, so
that It would not be surprising to see such
ft dual meet. It Is just possible, too, that
Pennsylvania may extend' Its athletlo rela
tions with . Michigan so as to include i
track meet.;
One Meet at Home and Abroad.
If the Michigan, men can have one track
meet at home with an eastern college and
get in another by traveling to New "York.
the season will be well enough filled out
for all practical purposes. ' They may re
gard It as too hard a test at Ann Arbor, In
view of the fact that the Michigan team has
to come here for the Intercollegiate cham
pionships anyway. Perhaps Michigan will
try to Interest some one of the southern
Institutions. Vanderbllt for years has had
Ci..? t.-;ck men, and Michigan and Van
derbllt meet In foot ball. If the Vanderbllt
men are anything like as good opponents
on the track as they are on the gridiron
Michigan need look no further.
In fact. It look a If Michigan's way out
of the problem 1 to duplicate the competi
tions already on the slate In foot ball so a
to Include other sport. Schedule will not
be so long a they were before, possibly,
but the quality of the games may be just
as good. Base ball with Vanderbllt, Ohio
State, Pennsylvania, Cornell, and some
others that may be met here on an eastern
trip, or with eastern colleges coming out to
Ann Arbor, will make a good enough sched
ule. The Michigan teams may be sent
south to play their early games there, which
will make good training for preliminary
work anyway.
Other Colleare Snort.
In three sports anyway Michigan should
be able to do very well. There are western
colleges outside the conference rank
which, although not perhaps of the first
grade, will make good enough opponent
for preliminary matches In foot ball, which
la the main thing at Ann Arbor. The
season Is short enough, anyway, so as to
make It not too hard problem to arrange
games. The same I truo of track athletic.
Base ball, owing to th customary length
or the season, may be a harder problem.
One result of the break may be that
Michigan will send a team to the eastern
cross-country championships, which those
in thl section hope. The cross-country run
now is under control of the I. C. A. A,
A. A., so that Michigan a a member of
that body Is qualified to enter a team next
fall. The quality of cross-country work at
Michigan is high and an entry from Ann
Arbor would do something to disturb the
supremacy of Cornell perhap. Michigan
has developed ft team on the Cornell aystem
and th distance runners turned out from
Michigan Ployd Rowe, N. W. Kellogg,
Oayle Dull, H. P. Ramey, H. L. Coe and
others have been of first rate performing
ability. It would be a very interesting
thing If Michigan decided to identify Itself
so much further with the east by sending
a team to th cross-country championship.
Borne one has started ft story about
Buckingham, a foot ball player at Prince
ton, to the effect that his father promised
to put $6,000 in the bank for him If ha won
bis varsity letter aa a foot ball player.
liucklnghajn v as on the varsity squad and
Coach Roper is reported to hsve promised
that he would put him In the game with
Yale and thus give him the letter, the last
chance that tha player had. According to
the chronicler, the matter slipped Roper
mind and Instead of (ending In Buckingham
he put Btegllng tn the game. When Roper
remembered about Buckingham It waa too
late. Now he cannot get hi latter for foot
ball at Princeton. He play base ball,
however, and may get It that way.
That story calls to mind the one about
Inlanders at Yale. Th captain I reported
to have forgotten to put dander In th
game with Harvard after the latter had
worked faithfully on th scrub. However,
It was fixed up by reaummendlng Plunder
fur the letter anyway, so that b got it-

The Wrong One There Is loo much John
son In thl town. Testerday morning there
appeared In the local column of this paper
an Item which stated that a man, who gave
his name aa Johnson, was run 1 11 for drunk
enness. Yesterday afternoon a woman tele
phoned to this office that some people
thoiight thst the, psrty In question was
her husband, a bis namo I Johnson, and
he Informed the editor In a tone of voice
that carried persuasion with It, that If we
gut our Johnson mixed she would make it
hot for u. It I simply a case of too much
Johnson. There are too many Johnsons In
thl town. The woman has our sympathy,
but tho fact remalns.--Beatrlco Sun.

only a case where Greek had met Greek,

forth to quell tho rioters or stop the nolfto.
Wednesday wa the Greeks' Christmas and

that they had to celebrate a Americans

The Newspaper's Mlsslpn To the reader
of local correspondence a great many of
the correspondents' little item a concern
ing the people of his territory my eem
trivial and often ridiculous. W have for
year been permitted to hear from the
metropolitan paper their diatribes anent
the silliness of country correspondence.
When we tell of Brown, Benson and others
helling corn or doing come uch work In
which It Is heeded that the neighbor help,
we may be laughed at, but a reference
to such seemingly ir, significant events give
u a chance to mention kindly a great many
more people than if we got up on our stilts
and tried to run a column only on the
most proper lines and by chronicling only
the big and proper events. We have always
contended that what the people want In a
local paper Is to hear what the people are
doing and to find in it a reflection of the
local sentiment on questions of general in
terest. Country correspondence is only
common-place at best, as are the people
who usually prepare it, so we'll Just keep
firing away about what our neighbors and
patrons are doing in their common, every
day careers. York Republican.
GOMPERS COMMENTS ON ORDER

Will Bo Taken.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 25. Although en
joined from making any reference to tha
controversy between the American Federa
tion of Labor and the Buck Stove and
-Range company. President Snniuel Gompers
tn an editorial In the current Issue of th

tice Gould' recent decision at great length
and declares a purpose not to comply with
all Its terms. "It Is an Invasion of the
liberty of the press and the right of free
Speech," declared Mr. Gomper. "We would
be recreant to our duty did we not do all
tn our power to point out to the people the
serious Invasion of their liberties which
haa taken pluie. That thl ha been done
by Judge-made Injunction and not by
statute law makea the, menace all tha
greater.
"The matter of- attempting to suppress
the boycott by Injunction, while important,
yet pales Into Insignificance before this In
vasion and denial of constitutional rights.
We dlsouss this injunction and feel obliged
as a matter of conscience and principle to
protest against Its Issuance and Its enforce
ment, yet we desire It to be clearly under
stood that the editor of tho American Fed
eration! does not consider himself thereby
violating any law of cither state or nation,
nor does he intend or advise any disrespect
toward the courts of our country. And yet
Inherent, natural and constitutional rights
and guarantees must be defended and main
talned."
Mr. Gompers states that the services of
some of the foremost lawyers In the country
have been secured and that the case will bo
carried to the United Slates supreme court,
The action against the federation of labor
and Its officials was brought in the su
preme court of the District of Columbia on
the ground the publication of tho stove
company In tho "wo don't patronize" list
In the American Federatlonlst was In the
nature of a boycott. Justice Gould's order
ha been complied with in this respect by
dropping the stove company from the list.
