only II laps had been contested.
The distance was one mile or 70 lengths
of the pool. The betting was trif1e in
favor of McEwen, as it was thought he
would out-stay Fox. They both took the
water together and Fox soon was in front
by about three yards. In this order they
raced until the eleventh length, when Nc

foot. His misfortune completely ruined
his chance of victory, ,as he had to be assisted
out of the water. He generously told Fox
that he could have the race without SWIM

awarded the race to Fox.

The Ex-Pittsburg Trainer Gives Some In
tcrestins News About German Trotters.
Joseph B. Heideger, the well-known
trainer of trotting horses, now in Germany,
in an interesting letter to the sporting edi-
tor of this paper states that the trotting sea-
son has closed in Germany. Joe states that
he has made quite good sum of money
this year with his horses and had intended
to visit Pittsburg during the winter, but he
has such large number of colts to attend
to that he cannot possibly get away.
He has resolved to send Gipsy Queen,
2:19l4, back to this country, as she has
done no good this season. Blue Bell, 2:21L,
Joe SAYS, has won him lots of money. In
his letter he adds that two American train
ers have been expelled during the season,
and next season American trainers will
have to give the German trainers % meters
start in every race where their horses conf
pete against each other. The Germans
claim that the Americans are too slick for
them, and Joe says he can steal about %
meters easily in any race

BACK WITH HIS LITTLE SKIFE
John McCoilum Returns From His Eighth
Trip to New Orleans.

John McCoilum Returns From His Eighth
Trip to New Orleans.
A picturesque character appealed last
night at the Allegheny police station for
nights lodging. He was John McCollum,
aged 5s years, and he was born in the First
ward, Allegheny. When he was years old
his mother and father died, and he was left
to care for himself. He began by selling
newspapers. While sleeping out ne night
his right leg was frozen and had to be am
putated He then learned the trade of n
shoemaker, and pursued it for number of
wears. About 80 years ago he became asso-
ciated with David Steele, an Allegheny
fisherman, and during this companionship
made several visits by skif' to New Orleans.
Yesterday he returned from his eighth trip
to that city, having rowed the entire dis
tance in 36 days, living the greater part of
the time in his boat.
When he arrived at Allegheny last night
he was without money, but claimed that he
could secure all he desired in the morning.

BACK FROM CHICAGO.
Messrs. Phipps, Walker and Bigelow Fail to
Find What They We're After

Find What They Were After.
Messrs. Henry Phipps, John Walker and
E. NJ. Bigelow returned home yesterday
from their trip to Chicago, where they went
few days ago to examine the $50, ,000 floral
conservatory being created there. Mr..
Bigelow said last evening that, while very
handsome, the Chicago conservatory was
not complete or grand enough to suit Mr.
Phipps' i'd eas. and before any definite ac-
tion is taken toward planning a conserva-
tory for Pittsburg number of other cities
will bc visited where there are conserva-
tories.
While in Chicago Mr.. Bigelow made ar
rangements for securing some desirable ad-
ditions to the floral attractions at the parks.
Next spring he will began to plant flowers
and shrubs in Schenley Park. He re-
marked yesterday that he would probably
make contract soon for furnishing few
thousand rhododendrons to be planted in
both Highland and Schenley Parks.
'.Rhododendrons," he said, ''can be planted
in the woods or any other part Of the
ground, and while making handsome shrub
berry give us the beautiful effect of their
bright colors when they are in bloom. I
have found also beautiful species of
begonia which 1 expect to introduce
in our parks next season. Formerly the
bloom of the begonia was a small, colorless,
insignificant flower, but now through the
skill Of the florist species has been pro-
duced bearing flowers as large as a saucer
and of magnificent coloring."
Mr. Bigelow talked of many improve
ments to be made at the parks next year,
among others au artificial lake of large pro-
portions, which can be supplied without
expense to the city. During the hurricane
on Monday the bandstand at Highland Park
was blown down and so damaged that it
must be replaced with new one. 1t is
possible that the new one will be built of
stone. Fountains are another point that
the chief is making calculations upon and
he intimates that gift of handsome
bronze fountain from public-spirited citi-
zen is among the possibilities.

THE ST. LOUIS PLAYERS.
Reason Why Some of Vondy's Stars Re
fused to Remain With Him.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 25-[ Special. ]-Stories in
Vulnerable have been told in regard to the
cause of Comiskey, O'Neill, Boyle, McCar-
thy, Fuller and Hoy leaving ST. Louis.
Hov's departure was no secret. as it was
well known some time ago that he had
given it out publicly that he would nos re-
main in st. Louis unless paid a certain sum
of money-an amount said TO be larger than
that received last season, while Won der Abe
was of an entirely different opinion.
He wanted the deaf mute at a lower sal
ary, and he was not stuck on getting him
even then. He was hard mar to coach on
account of his deafness, and he would be-
come as mad as hornet if upbraided. He
was not a disturber, vet he made more or
less trouble for the captain of the team.
Next the trouble with Stivetts was spoken
Of He would not remain in st. Louis, and
neither would Mccarthy and Boyle. Nc
Carthv wanted $500 to start in business with
in Chicago, and ne knew that he could not
get any more than $500 from Chris, so he
signed and obtained $500 from Boston, and
when he returned Chris leg was stretched
for cold half thousand.
O'Neill was out for the long green, and so
was Boyle. They have both signed, but
they imagine it is fashionable to keep the
matter quiet, and it is sealed within their
bosoms
Last, but by no means least, it Is a we'll
known fact that Comiskey's head is as long
as horses when it comes to the stuff that
buys bread. He took walk with Chris one
afternoon and told him just how he loved
him and st. Louis, and that he could not
think of living elsewhere, and that if the
boss president wanted him to do so he
would, as favor, affix his John Hancock to
a st. Louis contract, and that he would not
ask any more than had been paid him for
the past season. Chris impressed on the
elongated captain that kraut and cigars had
advanced in st. Louis, and salaries were
liable to advance if he (Chris) listened to
the hoghide handlers, but this he could not
and would not do, and he said that before
he would play Comiskey on first base next
season he would cover the bag himself, if
he had to catch the ball in basket.
The offer made to Comiskey was $1,000,
and he spurned it, SAYING that he would
rather play for Brush for 500, 800 for three
years in Cincinnati and eat common Gin
cinnati grub. Cincinnati is we'll pleased
with Comiskey and vice versa, and In him
they get a good man.
