GENERAL SPORTING NOTES.


GENERAL SPORTING NOTES.
The University of Virginia boys were a
sorely disappointed lot after the game with
Pennsylvania on Saturday. just how the
Virginians could figure that they stood the
ghost OF a chance TO beat old Pennsy Is be
yond finding out, but they had the notion
they would defeat them, and one enthusi-
| astic student, the son of New OrleaIl
millionaire, Is said to have lost more than
$1,000 by the result.
The action of President Freedman in vol
| unfairly increasing the salaries OF nearly
| all of the old players who Will be with the
I New York team again next year, is being
met by much pleasant comment by many
who have heretofore had no kind word for
/ the New York magnate. Some of the
! players, however, are still holding off for a
better thing. Among these are Rusic,
| Meesin, Farrell, and Van Haltren.
Col. F Fleischmann, the wealthy Cincinnati
| running-horse owner, who has one of the
most valuable stables in the country, an
! nounces that he will do 10 more racing in
the West. He says that neither he nor his
horses have been treated fairly by West
| ern racing associations, and that right at
| his own home. Latonia and Oakley, he has
been dealt with the worst, and that hereafter
he will confne his racing operations To the
East.
The crusade being made just now against
prize fighting has induced the shorthaired
| fraternity To open up war on football in
Chicago. Nearly everybody out there seems
to have gone crazy on the football game.
There seems TO be a team on about every
block in the town. and a number of play
ers have been badly banged up, and the
friends of the boxers are vowing that foot
ball is the most senseless and l.fc-destroy-
ing institution ever invented. and In the
interest of humanity and the general vel
fare of the human race, they propose TO have
1t stopped.
The Annapolis ma val cadets have arranged
a game of football with the Dartmouth
College boys for November 23. The ca
dets are said to be q strong team this year.
Richard Croker will ship Rey del Car
reres and Sir Excess to England to-day. He
is confident the former will make 4 great
showing against the English horses next
year.
Again there is a rumor that there is to he
another big baseball league. This time
1t comes from Philadelphia, and Chris Won
der Abe apparently has nothing to do with
IL. The report is that IL Is TO be six
club organization, with one in Philadelphia,
one In New York, one in Boston and the
other three cities yet TO be decided upon.
1t is said that the rumor is giving the Ma
tional League a good deal of concern, and
that an effort will be made 10 smother
the movement before 1t gets too far along.
Fox hunting Is now one OF the at
tractive features OF sport III the country
districts of Maryland and Virginia. On
Saturday a great hunt took place ut Ellicott
City, and another one at Elk Ridge, Md.
Both were largely attended and the sport
was of the hair raising kind.
The refusal of the Morris Park manage
ment to accept any more entries from Lucky
Baldwin's stable has not created very much
surprise. From early in the season the
in-and-out running of Rey cl Santa Anita
has been mysterious, and it has occasioned
more than once the prediction that it
would cause Baldwin trouble.
The Harvard Pennsylvania rules are n
decided Improvement over those of last
year, particularly in those important
amendments governing the fair catch, says
the New York Evening Telegram. They
obviate the brutal feature of tackling and
throwing man who is making catch,
and at the same time provide opportunity
for a return run, which Is one Of the
prettiest features of football game. They
also favor and make possible. open play
ing. long passes, free kicking. and, in
general, do much tn make the game cleaner,
less dangerous, and more pleasing from q
spectacular point of view.
Frank Ives challenge to play any man In
the world fourteen-lncb balk line BILLIARDS
for $4,000 q side looks like bold bluff,
but there can be little doubt that he means
1t. At present Ives is surely the best of all
the Americans, and only Vignaux, the
foreigner. could be expected tn cut much ola
figure with him, ana even he is not of
Ives quality.
England's champion four-nared crew Sc
lected to row for International honors at
Austin, Tex, next month arrived in New
York on Saturday. The quartet consists
of William HaineS, William Barry, George
and John wingate. They brought
along seven boatsiD all, including fnur single
shells, two paIr-Oared shells, and n four
pared shell. The regatta Mt which the for
eigners Will row will be held at Austin on
November 4, 8, and 6.
