what does It all mean? Oh, not a waste of
money, not that. Nor yet does it mean a
rareleta display of extravagance unwar
ranted by the character of the business. It
means simply this: That the American
people, content with nothing short of the
het, have built up to a robust maturity
the greatest game In the annala of athMlc
enterprlne and have come to the place
where they require the most commodioua
accommodations for Its enjoyment that
modern skill and science and large wealth
are able to provide. It la a grand testi
monial to the manly character of a sturdy
race. Greece had its Olympics, but they
were celebrated only quadrennially and
therefore never roso higher In the national
life than a pagan festival. The Roman
giadiatoa combatted for mere blood In the
ancient arena and their Influence on the
nation was Inevitably debasing. Tho effort
to revive th era of Olympics must first
conquer the bane of International envy be
fore It is given a place of proved success.
England has Its cricket for a pleasant pas
time and calls It a national game. Bpoln
apologises for Its bull fights, but
Americans have set an example to the
world of this or any past period. They
have Immortalised a' sport, and, what Is
more, hnvo made It a business as welt
without Jeopardising- Its original function
its a national pastime. Commercialised base
ball Is successful because honorable and
successful business men have thrown
around It sufficient safeguards to defeat
sinister Influences. The truest measure
which could be appHed to the American's
love of Ms national game la applied every
year in submitting it to htm for his sup
port and ha answers tho test by giving It
better and larger aupport eaolt season.
Ducky Holmes la quoted by a Sioux City
paper as saying In reply to certain erltl
clams made by President Hlgglns of tes
Moines: "I never win pennants In the win
ter lime." Of course that'a a trite saying
and not original with Holmea, but that
isn t tnn point. Mr. Htgglna saya he Is
collecting a club that will make Dueky'a
Btou City team look like W cents. That'a
all right, bi t It would be highly gratifying
to tho Western league patrons If Illggins
really would produce such a team when
the season opened next spring, even If he
hRd to eliminate his mkl-wlntor forecasts.
Holmea has his faults and they are some
times annoying one, but It has been
observed, and. that, too, with aomo
pain In certain localities, that Ducky often
devotes himself to delivering the goods,
while some of his competitors ane con
suming time talking. It wilt help things
. generatry U Mr. Hlgglns does put in a team
that wM make Blnux City fcok like 30
cents, bitt If he should succeed only In
maktig It look like (0 cents no general
disappointment Should be felt. .
It may be considered a closed Incident,
but nevertheless It Is not too late to aay
that he reply of President Murphy to the
National commission's arraignment at him
on tho ticket scalping charge haa several
points In It that make the situation look
much better for Mr. Murphy and the Cuba.
In addition to making a rather strong case
for his side, Murphy caata a reflection
upon the oommiailon's sense of fairness and
Justice by announcing that the commission
broke its promise In making Its finding
without consulting the Chicago club. Some
how It Is unfortunate that the commission
haa not been able to make a clearer case
sgainst Chicago without giving the Intima
tion of possible feeling In the matter. This
Is almost aa unfortunate for the commis
sion as It Is to Chicago that the alleged
scandal ever transpired.

The negro's chase of Burns almost around

was entitled to something, since Durns had
lured him on by evincing a willingness to

One of the most Interesting figures In
Intercollegiate sports Is John ltoyle, re
rently appointed assistant eraeh of the
Corm-ll crews. It is not springing a man
new to the university or the regular coach,
Charlea Courtney, to put Hoyle In the
place, fie and Courtney have been lntl
mately associated at Cornell fir more than
nine years, and every man who ever has
handled an oar In a Cornell boot in that
time knows John Hoyle. It Is safe to Say
that every one of them likes him, too.
By profession John Hoyle Is a builder
of boats. He started In the boat building
business nearly twenty years ago In Phila
delphia, where he used to construct rsclng
craft for the t'nlverslty of Pennsylvania
and for the Schuylkill rowing clubs. He
did not confine himself to making the
orthodox cedar shells, but Trade experi
mental boats as well. - It waa Hoyle who
built to the order of Pennsylvania and
Cornell In 1SS3 the aluminum boats that
were to reform the art of shell making.
Cornell won a race on Lake Mlnnetonka
In that boat, beating Pennsylvania In a
four-mllo row In 23 mtnutea 33 seconds. That
may have Indicated that the crew was
fast, rather than that the boat was, be
cause after all It was found that art alumi
num boat, to stand all the changes In tem
perature, would have to be braced so stiffly
that it would be much heavier than a
cedar craft.
Courtney and Hoyle have many tastes
In common. Both are keen fishermen
and both amateurs of the camera. It Is
to Hoyle that Courtney is very apt to
turn when he wants any information
about the Hudson tides, because Hoyle
haa made that rather a study. He has
the fisherman's sense of what the tides
are and should be, and hla conjecturea
about the likely conditions for regatta
day, although sometimes In conflict with.
the expert opinion of the government ta
bles, have never failed to be verified.
About two years ago Hoyle gave up hi
private boat building enterprise and went

At the dinner the Harvard club of Bos-

Dean Brlggs paid a high compliment to
Walter Camp of Yale, a tribute which
naturally reflected none the less glory
upon Percy Haughton, the Crimson's head
coaeh. "I must be very eld, gentlemen,"
Bald Dean Brlggs. "for I remember dis
tinctly the last celebration of this sort.
Then, as now, we had a team of great
power, 'with no stars before the game
and a whole firmament after it I be
lieve we should then have beaten any
team that Mr. Camp could put Into the
field; but. If I am rightly informed, the
team we beat then was not Mr. Camp's;
It waa Captain Oould's. This -year, I un
derstand, the team was Mr. Camp's, and
It Is no wonder that the margin of vic
tory was small. The man who pits him
self against Mr. Camp and wins over
comes an acknowledged foot ball genius,
who has fathered and directed the game
for twenty-five or thirty years, who has
established an almost Invincible system
of coaching and whose prestige has drawn
promising players from school and col
leges throughout th country.
"This yer Mr. Hanghton has pitted
himself against Mr. Camp and won. He
many not be able to do It again, but there
la no denying that he ha done It. Even
the newspaper before th game hoisted
him suddenly to the level of Mr. Camp as
a foot ball expert. On the morning of the
game I was startled by the heading,
Confidence in Both Camps." Surely the
confidence In our own was not mis
placed." Dean Brlggs also spoke of the satis
faction that It was to Harvard men to feet
that they had shown they knew how to
play foot ball, so that the contest left no
feeling that Vale, with Harvard's material,
could have won In case Harvard did not.
That has been a familiar statement about
beaten Harvard teams, that the material
was there, but the knowledge was not.
"People know," he continued, "that Tale

race last June Yale had come out as Har.

There ar Indications thst motor legisla

nearly every state legislature In the coun

toward compelling drivers to pass some

revocation of license, temporary or perma
nent. Parle tradesmen and hotel people are de
lighted with the decision to hold the Grand

usual. It will keep fashionable folk in

Harvard's Maar "aeeesees.
Hsrvard in the year If can count vic
tories over Yale In three of the four major
sports, rowing, foot ball and base ball. In
track, the Crimson lost a most Important
meet. To have won that would have been
the crowning feat of a year certainly
which should stand out in Harvard-Tale
sporta. Altogether, Harvard Is Justified In
considering It a great year for athletics at
Cambridge.
Dean Brlggs Issues a little note of warn
ing In his speech when he says: "We
seemed to have turned a corner In Har
vard athletics. Whether we have become
dlssy In turning it remain to be seen.
The great danger la now that every one
will say, 'Well now Harvard Is on an even
fooflng with Yale and we shall get our
fair share of the victories. We are not on
an even footing with them, and shall not
be short of three years more, with Haugh
ton In charge during the whole time.' " Tlie
part from "the great danger" Is a quota
tion from a letter from W. T. Held, Jr.,
the former Harvard coach, and exemplifies
what Dean Brlggs thinks and what most
other folks will think Is so.
"We have laid a strong foundation," Is
Dean Brlggs's final word, "not the least
part of which is the extension of the var
slty coaching to the freshman team. We
have discovered a general and ho has cho
sen a competent staff. What we need Is
years of such generalship without a grain
of boastful self-confidence, without a par
ticle of shlftlessness. It Is helpful for us
to remember that Yale Is never Invincible
It la fatal for ua to forget that Yale Is al
waya formidable, that she Is never beaten
easly "except through some accident and
that a single slip la tho Intelligence of

A new and novel scheme for the more
equal taxation of motorists has cropped
out in Scotland, where It Is proposed to
levy tribute on petrol Instead of on the
cara By thia means the owner of a large
car using more spirits for motive power
would pay more heavily, 'while the tax
would bear, comparatively lightly on the
man of moderate means who Is content
with a small car.
The first automobile "trouble wagon"
put Into service in the United States by a
trolley company has been Installed In Chi

With It the trolley company will he able
to double the speed, of its horse-drawn
vehicles, and this saving of time Is an
Important element In obstructions to th
transportation of patrons.
Experiments are being made lit Calcutta,
India, with an air propeller petrol-driven
car. A speed of fifteen miles an hour has
been attained with a five horse-power en
gine. The absence of wear on the tires
is most marked, and the motion Is perfectly
smooth. At present, the invention Is Just
passing out of the experimental stage, but
it Is expected that it will shortly be possi
ble to place cars on the market.
Many reasons can be attributed to a
small engine for refusing to work prop
erly, but one very frequent cause i the
derangement of the spring of the Inlet
valve. The exhaust valve spring should
be firat examined to make sure tnat It ts
working properly. If this Is found right,
the natural presumption then Is that there
is something wrong with the inlet valve,
and It should be given attention and a
remedy.
Cylinder all cast In one block now find
general favor. The former big objection
of excessive coat of replacement when a
cylinder was damaged, Is greut.y discounted
now that the public realise that cylinder
do not require replacement every few
months. From the maker' point of view,
the saving of space, a well as tne general
simplification or the piping and water con
nections, make the block casting a
favorite.
An expert motorist advlaea users of car
provided with tilting bodies to beware of
the danger of the supports Juriing loose
when the engine Is running, and permitting
the body to fall. This contingency, he de
clares, is usually carefully provided against
by the manufacturer, but at the same time,
there Is danger that a careless operator
may neglect to fasten the supporting struts
or braces properly when lit ting the bouy
to effect a wayside repair.
The uso of hot Irons for th removal of
any patches or bandages on rubber goods
which have been stuck by a solution and
not by vulcanization Is recommended by a
French chemist. An ordinary domestic fiat
Iron thoroughly Immersed In bnlhlig water
for a sufficient time to heat the Iron thor
oughly Is one of the best things fur this
purpose, since by this means the correct
neat Is obtained and there Is no danger of
damaging the repaired object.

cars In use and two kept In reserve.
There Is a wide divergence of opinion as
to the limitations that should be adopted
in the type of car that shall be eligible
for the BrlarcUff rsce of ltftft. As the term
"stock car" ts understood, it Includes the
widest possible range of engines, and no
set of cono. lions snot I of a first -class han
dicap could possibly bring the varied
types together In a manner to give all a
chance In such a race as BrlarcUff. A
prominent motorist suggests that If one or
all of the governing bodies would determine
upon a type of car in their opinion Ideal for
Slock purposes, without being swayed In
their Individual Judgment by the fact that
a certain manufacturer already build a
car of specified dimensions that they would
like to see In such a race, we would then
have a standard to which all makers, re
gardless of their present msnutacturd
model, would haw t conform and be
governed by.

G0TCH FIUDS HACK SLIPPERY
Champion I'aable to Corner Ills Rival
tn London.
NEW TORK, Dec. 24.-Frank Ooteh
champion heavyweight wrestler of the
world, who went to England seeking a
return match with George Hackenschmldt,
Is having a lot of trouble over there. He
Is not only 111 physically, but he la mad
as a hornet about the way "Hack" hna
treated him. Ooteh unburdened himself to
the editor of the Sporting Life In this
manner:
"I came here to get a match with Hack
enschmldt. It wss no business of mine to
challenge the Russian, a I beat him In
Chicago. I asked him to meet me at your
office. He declined, and, as a bit of bluff,
he replied to my Invitation by putting
down 60(J at the Sportsman. The editor of
that paper made two appointments for mc
to meet Hackenschmldt. Rut the wily fox
did not respond to this. I was ready all
the time, but ho was always shuffling.
Never a straight thing has he done all
through this controversy.
"Instead of meeting me as he wa In
vited to do, he called his famoua meeting
of press men. and on them pltlced all the
responsibility of arranging hla matches.
But this move of his brought me Into an
agreement which I did not want. He got
a committee appointed to manage my af
fair aa well a his own. The Impudence
of It makes me angry. I have aald that I
have always had before me a match with
Hackenschmldt. After the Hackenschmldt-
Zbysco match and the Lemm and my own
match, I felt that I should meet him again
and show the publlo how vile the slanders
upon me have been. But Hackenschmldt
will not meet Zbysco. He defies the board
of control, and aa I only consented to
wrestle Lemm In order to get Hacken
achmiflt, I see no object In going on with
this match. Hackenschmldt has again suc
ceeded by bluff, and I suppose the Eng.
llsh public will go on applauding him."
