OF HONEST JOHN.
Purcell, One Of the Best Anna
teur Athletes of the Time.
HE ExCELs At MANY THINGS.

Malcolm w. Ford Write. About the
Lively Irishmnn--Ile Says Hc Has Re-
tired for Good, hut His Friends Hope
He Hasn't--IIis Performances.
The picture below shows one Of the best
amateur general athletes yet seen In Great
Britain, Canada or America, for the name
of John Purcell is associated with success
full athletic competition in those three
countries. He commenced his athletic
career ten years ago In Ireland, and up TO
1887, when he left there to take up his
abode at San francisco, Cal, he had won
numerous amateur championships at diff
fercnt events. His recent triple win at the
Pacific coast championship games proves
that he is still capable Of defeating good
men ut his special events but he says posi-
lively that these games which were held
May 30 at San Francisco are his last, for
he is married and has an increasing coal
business to look after.
Purcell is 20 years old, feet 1lef inches
tall, and in athletic condition weighs 165
pounds His first appearance on the west
ern continent was in the fall OF 1885, when
he took part in the Canadian championship
games at Toronto lie was then member
Of team Of Irish athletes which invaded
the United States and Canada TO see what
prizes they could capture. Purcell on that
day competed in the pole vault and the
running broad jump, winning the latter
with 81 It. ~ in, but was defeated in the
former at 0 II. l6 in. He tied for second

OUTDOOR GAMES.

Richard ID. Sears, who won the tennis
championship at singles so many years,
distinctly says that he will not compete in
any tennis matches this season. He will
play simply for practice and health.
The Canadian Lacrosse association Is hav-
ing considerable difficulty in preventing
professionalism from entering into amateur
circles The rivalry between amateur teams
OF the big cities in Canada is so great that
there Is n tendency to make life easy for
the good players just as asimilar tendency
has shown itself in the United States in the
various athletic clubs concerning the good
athletes The Canadian authorities speak
OF the custom in vigorous terms, and in
tend keeping strict watch on suspicious
characters.
The Canadian Lacrosse association has
issued 700 playing certificates. This num-
Der represents about fifty clubs. for certf-
Gates nre issued only to active players.
There is still a complaint in tennis circles
that courts which are frequently used can
not lbs kept in good order, no matter
whether they are clay, turf or the com.
posite clay and gravel. The latter wears
well, but when it does become rough it ia
difficult to fix. Asphalt Is good, but it is
too expensive To be used by the mass For
repaired clay stands the best test.
The championship fixtures at tennis to
be held at Newport in August already
promise to have the largest number of en-
tries on record for this annual event, and
it is not at all unlikely that Richard ID.
Sears may be one of the competitors.
The Berkeley Athletic club has found
cricket to be very popular game, and tho
team it organized to represent it in the
spring has shown the good effects of steady
practice by winning many outside matches
II. McNutt is one of the strongest players
ON tho team, and has done good work in
getting the members together and coach
ing them. He predicts that the cricket
team will win moro laurcls for the club
than the baseball team
The increase of tennis clubs In Canada
has caused discussions of forming "A na
tional tennis association TO be modelled
after the ruling tennis organization of the
United States. Canada's ruling athletic
association is six years old.

UNCLE BOB.
Tho Horse which Crossed the Line First
At the American Derby.

Tho Horse which Crossed the Line First
At the American Derby.
A vast crowd OF men and women saw
Uncle Bob cross the line before such grand
horses as Santiago, Ben Kingsbury, Jed
and others In the great American Derby,
run at Chicago June 81. Uncle Bob was
the favorite, and he disappointed no ono
who had backed him. He was the peoples
choice. as was Salvador in his recent race
with the gallant Tcnny. Uncle Bob was
ridden by Jockey Kiley, one Of the best
jockeys on the turf. This is what he said
Immediately after the race TO reporter Of
The Chicago Tribune:
"The horse went easy from the start
They were all pretty well punched at the
half and thrce-quarters When we pulled
into the stretch l saw he had got the
others tired enough for him TO win easily,
and didn't urge him at all. II was
dead clear thing think Bob could have
won just as easily on dry track. He has
long stride, good wind, and ! think him
fast, too. lie is good distance horse, and
has one Of the finest dispositions l ever
knew. He'll be better two years from
now, and in long pull will surprise the
best Of 'em.'
His last remark was certainly a good one,
for out of the great mass Of people who
saw the race there were very few indeed
who were not Of the same opinion.
Uncle Bob Is bred in closely kindred lines
to Proctor Knott, each being by Luke
Blackburn out of daughter of imp. Great
Tom, son Of King Tom, full brother to
Stockwell, the greatest of all English sires.
Uncle Bob is especially rich in the blood OF
Glencoe, it coming to him in four lines
one through Nevada, Luke Blackburn's
dam, and three through his own dam,

was very great race horse, and in the
stud his fame Is already safe and sure.
The attendance at the Derby field was
among the largest in American racing his

pie roared for the winner ns he crossed un-
der the wire, and they showered plaudits
on him when he came proudly back TO the

OARSMEN.

The recent victories the eight cared crew
of Cornell university has won have caused
impromptu expressions from the authori.
ties of the college that better facilities for
athletic contests on both land and water
should in the future be furnished to the
students. 1t is thought that quite n boom
will take place In this line at the college
next fall. Charles L, Cortney, the college
crew coach, is receiving much praise from
the students for his successful efforts.
The professional oarsmen. Hanlan, Ross,
Lee, Plaisted, Tcemer, Gaudaur, Hosmer

decision of the Minnesota and Winnipeg
Rowing association To hold its regatta in
conjunction with the Duluth-Superior will
add greatly to the latter, and western oars
