IX While the Eastern league was finishing up Its routine husin'ss today the magnates of the National Has Hall lens;!i were imcm'jlln:! for their an nua! meeting. The question of tho league presidency this ytar, us last, is the prim-try one for the magnates to settle. No such long, drawn out comhnt as that of lant year waa looked for, however. While It was admitted that opposition to President Thomas J. Lynch of Nv Britain n.lght develop, there seemed little doubt of the meeting opened today that he would be chonen to succeed himself. He waa ap parently assured of tho votes of the New York, nttnburg, Cincinnati and Boston clubs, with that of Philadelphia a probabil ity. The support of four clubs Mould suf fice for his retent'on, as the amended con stitutlon of the .league, provides that In the case of a deadlock the Incumbent holds over. Talk In connection with all kinds if pro posed deals for players waa flying about. The National commission met today and decided two Important cases. Pitcher Fer guson of the Boston National league club, who had a contract which stipulated that If he won half the Karnes he pitched last season he was to receive a bonus, of $."00, was sustained and the Boston management was directed to pay him the stipulated $."0O. Pitcher Maddox contracted to play with Pittsburg for the season ending October 15, but was sold to the Kansas City club of the American association. The Kansas City club's season closed October 1 and Maddox demands that Pitts burg pay him for the .fifteen days his original contract with that club still had to run. The National commission today sustained Maddoxs position, establishing the prin ciple that no matter what disposition Isi made of a player the maker of the original contract Is responsible to him for the full term for which It contracted for hl serv ices. Cornell is Out for Water Championship Swimming Team from ' Ithaca Will Make Its Debut in Match with Columbia Today. ITHICA, N. Y Dec. IS (Bpeoial.) Much activity has been wltneased this fall In the natatorium of Cornell university In anticipation of the meets for tha Inter collegiate Swimming association team championships. Tho watermen from Ithaca will make their debut In New York on De cember 16 with the Columbia swimmers as opponents, and the? are anxious to make a good showing. Captain H. W. W.Iker l.as had a big squad at practice for several weeks, and the less promising materials Is being gradu ally weeded out. Both the swimming and water polo teams are well under way of formation, and prospects are excellent; though, of courae. this la Cornell's first year In open competition, and the boys can hardly be expected to prove a match for tha veteran aggregations of Yale, Penn sylvania and Princeton. The swimming team Is well balanced, with several likely candidates for every event, and It should give Columbia a close and Interesting battle for honors. Walker, Bhamberg, Ostrander, Maldlner, Dodge, Maxa, Oervaln. - Stanwood. Davis and Austin are sprinters of no man ability, and besides giving a good account of them selves in the individual races they should yield a fast relay quartet. Maldlner has been traveling fifty yards consistently in twenty-eight seconds and with Davis, Austin, Thome and Male or Phamberg a team able to average better than twenty-nine seconds should be turned out. Then there are two very good fancy divers In Ostrandor and Kaufman, tha lat ter the same Kaufman who finished fifth In tha outdoor championships last June; and a first class plunger In Sanderson, who covers sixty feet consistently and often does sixty-four and sixty-five. The outlook for water polo is less brignt Cornell had no team last year, and tha game la essentially one In which experience and concert ad action Is necessary. Walker, Maldlner, Sanderson, Mass, Shamberg and Austin played at school and tha rudiments were thoroughly taught. They 'also haye tha speed, endurance, grit and weight needed to develop into stars, and a few weeks of hard practice and good coaching may accomplish ths unexpected. Cornell is at present somewhat handi capped by a amall natatorium, tha pool only measuring 00x13 feet, which precludes the possibility of holding any of tha inter collegiate meets there. The question of building new quarters is already under consideration, however, and It Is mora than likely that before another year has passed plana will be made for a bath similar to those of Princeton, Yale, Pennsylvania and Columbia, suited for competition and able to accommodate a large number of spec tators VANDERBILT MAKES RECORD FOR WINNINGS IN FRANCE American Tarfman Took Down Over 1,098, too la Last Six Years of Itarlna.

MANY PUGS ONHOSPITAL LIST More Prize Fighters Laid Up Than Any Time in Years. W0LGAST HAS SNAPPED ARM Tommy Marphy, Yawns; O'I.earr aad Other Leaser Mania Have Leaser Traablea Another Hope" la Rlaated F.arly. Within the last few months there have been more fighters on the hospital list than at any time for yeara. The m1orlty of them have been laid up as a result of Injuries to their hands, which they have either had sprained or broken In battles, or in sparring contests with their partners. Ad Wolgast, the lightweight champion, Is still sufferii-a. from a compound fractuie of one of bis nrmg which he received In a bout with jMk Redmond and again In jured In a contest with Tommy McFarland In fights In the west. Bob Moha is suf fering from an Injured hand as a result of his fight with Tommy Loughrey. Matty' Baldwin broke hla hand in a fight with Battling Hurley at the Armory Ath letic asflociatlon of Boston. Leo Houck, the middleweight of Lancaster, Pa., broke a bone in his hand In a battle with Frank Mantell at Providence, R. I. Knockout Brown is laid up with two fractured bones in his left hand which he received while boxing with his brother. Adam. Tommy Murphy has a badly puffed up ear, Young Reilly a cauliflower ear. Tommy Loughrey of Philadelpnla a broken hand. Young O'Leary a broken hand, while many other boxers are nursing discolored eyes. Another white man's hope has gone by the wayside, i This time it Is Jim Stewart, the big heavyweight from Brooklyn. And to think that his aspirations were upset by the veteran Jack (Twin) Sullivan, who has been fighting since Adam's day. Stewart was all that went to make up an athlete. Standing over six feet In height and built In proportion, he sure is a magnificent loading specimen of manhood, but In his constitution there was something lacking. What a pity It seems that a big fellow blessed with such a fine physique should lack that most important qualification in a fighter's makeup. If Stewart had one half the grit that Battling Nelson possesses he would be a champion and the white man's hope would be realised.

Of all the gay sports that made gambling a joyous profession In the salad days of Cripple Creek there was none so blithe as Johnnie O'Brien. His cravats were the loudest that screamed, his diamonds the largest that flashed and his laugh the heartiest that ecl oed through the canyon of the stream that gave its name to the booming mining csmp. His gambling place was the pride of the camp, as well as of Johnnie himself; so courteous and affable waa the dapper little Irishman that many a man waa wont to remark that he had rather lose against Johnnie's game than win from another. Many yeara in following boom camps with his faro game had vefted Johnnie with much riches, and he never failed to announce, no matter what occasion for a bet might arise, that he played no limit. No matter how big a roll the other fellow "flashed," he was always ready to cover It. But much prosperity begetteth pride, and. Johnny waxed proud. His fame as the big gest "high-roller" between The River all westerners thereby meaning the .Jlssls Rlppl and the Pacific coast was well es tablished; but even this honor began to pall upon the king of mining camp sports. He longed to carry his name east, like Alexander of old, and, like this same Alex ander, show ths degenerate dwellers there that they were not deuce high when they stacked up alongside Johnnie O'Brien. After much thought his plan of campaign was determined, and all the house had many a farewell bottle on him that night when he took the eastbound Overland In search of new worlds to conquer. It was not money that Johnnie sought, bear In mind. It was glory and fame as the king of sports from coast to coast. One- morning Johnnie got off the train at Cripple Creek, went quietly to a modest restaurant he had never stooped to pat ronise before, and after a mild meal that a fortnight ago he would have sneered at for Infant's food, betook himself to his palace of chance. Unlike his usual breesy entry, he slid quietly through the door and was In the middle of a circle of astonished Mends almost before they recognized him. And It was indeed hard to recognize In the subdued little man the blustering sport that had so lately departed bent on con quest and glory. He was not changed and yet he was. There was the same noisy cravat, but it made a sound now like a piano with the dumb pedal on. There were the same dia monds. But Instead of their dazzling flash they emitted now but a subdued twilight glimmer; there was the same voice, but all the trombone had' dropped out of It. He meekly shook hands all around without a word. His friends, dumb with astonish ment, gazed on him aghast. What had Chicago done to the pride of the Rockies? They did not have long to wait. "Boys." said Johnnie, after sipping a glass of vichy and milk, "J might as well foss up. I thought I was some big when I sailed away the other night, but I've found out different now. I'm a four flusher, a piker, a seven-spot, neither h eh nor low, and not worth a d n for game. I picked out Chicago, you know, to show those plg-stlckers a touch of high life, and the day I got there I went to the bank to get some drafts cashed Into five $10,000 bills. "Thls'll wake m up. I thought. Then 1 inquired for the biggest faro game ;n tho city, and after dinner I blew in there with niy little bunch of bills sticking carelessly in my vest pocket "There were two or three tables running, fairly well filled up with players, but off In one corner was a table with nobody do ing business. The dealer was sitting there, slouched down in his chair with hla hat pulled over his ayes, talking to the lookout. " 'I'll make that mutt sit up and take notice.' I think to myself. "When I get through with him he'll count th ne from tonight 1,'ke the folks down south count from "befo" de wah." So I saunters up peels off a $10,000 bill and carelessly flings It over, on the high card." " 'Chips?' caya the dealer, reaching for it, without looking up. " 'No,' I snaps, "let her go as she lays for Just one bet on the high card. Do you think I'm a lltt'e high school cadet pluv.ng tlddle-de-winks?" "The dealer doexn t say a word, but Ju t turn tho cards. They come iien-s!x. which sends that bill Into the dialer's till. In a second I sets another of the bills oer on the high card and it don't have time to te'tk down before that dealer tuina me out of It. "Then I slaps down another rlht quick so's h know I a'n't cai-ln? anything about such chicken feed -and 1 haven't wot mi' fingers off it hardly before the cards come h gh-iow and the dealer chucks that bill over in the till as carelessly a If It was a quarter s worth of postage sta:ni.

LIFE OF LUCK AND THRILLS Remarkable' Career of tha Lata Major Charles C. Te Radio, V. . A. Major Charles C. De Rudlo. U. 8. A., re tired, died at his home in Los Angeles, rvovmber l, at the age of 7 years. The story of Major De Rudio'a life reads like a romance. An emperor and an em press quarreled on his account Once he was led to the guillotine and his clothing stripiied from his neck and shoulders ready for his execution, but a minute before the knife was to fall he was reprieved. For a long time he was a prisoner In a dungeon, but one fortunate day he escaped and, after a stiles of remarkable adventures, reached America. As if he had not crowded enough of the plctureaque and thrilling Into his life he entered upon a new period, which had for its climax a hair-breadth escana from death almont as dramatic as that upon me scarrold, for he was one of the men who went to the Little Big Horn with Cus ter. The luck that seemed to attend him in France did not desert him In Montana. Born In Italy In 1S32, and married in England when 23 years old, Major De Rudlo began a turbulent career by allying himself with Garibaldi while still hardly more than a boy. From Italy he went with three companions to Paris, where tho four attempted to kill Napoleon ILI and Empress Eugenie with bombs. For this three of them were sentenced to be guil lotined. Pleri, one of the conspirators, was exe cuted first, and De Rudlo was next. He had Bald farewell to his wife and child and was ready to die. As In the case of Pleri, priests mait:hed on either side of him. His arms were bound behind him and his clothing was stripped from him practically from Ms waist up, so there should be nothing to block the glittering blade In Its fall. As a last favor De Rudlo asked that he be allowed to smoke a pipeful of tobacco. The executioner filled the pie- for the doomed man, placed It In hie mouth and furnished a light. The fire in the plpa was low and had begun to sputter when through the prison gate an officer hurried. He made his way through the ward and mounted the scaf fold. The newcomer looked at De Rudlo's scant attire and smiled. "This is rather a cold, unpleasant da to be out in such a costume," he remarked. De Rudlo, whose thoughts were of an other world, did not hear him and the officer repeated his observation. "Yes," replied the prisoner with an ap proach to a smile, "but I scarcely have time to catch cold." Then De Rudlo apologized for keeping the pipe In his mouth. "As this In my last one I want to get tha full benefit of it," he said. "Finish it if you desire, but you probably will smoke many more. I have a reprieve for you," said the officer. The pipe foil from the mouth of Da Rudlo. In the face of death he had been a stoic. Now that ha was to live he sud denly began to shiver. The secret of the reprieve was that Di Rudlo's young wife had so impressed tha Empress Eugenie with her tearful pleas for her husband's life that the empress, fall ing to win mercy for the condemned man from Napoleon III. had Issued orders her self that the execution be stopped. When Napoleon learned of De Rudlo's escape from death he was furious. He and the empress had a violent quarrel. Had It been possible for him to do bo legally the emperor would have ordered De Rudlo sent back to the scaffold, but hi could not. But De Rudlo had only a short gleam of hope. He was tried once more and again waa condemned to die. By this time tha em peror's wrath had cooled and the tears of the empreas were too much for him, so he commuted the sentence to life Imprison There De Rudlo spent more than five merit In one of France's penal settlements, years and then by taking advantage of a series of queer hapienings he managed to escape and make his way to America.
