IL You Really Want to Climb Fhefe

rope.
The terrible Jungfrau of Switzer-
land is but 14,000 feet high, yet tray
eIers from all over the world journey
to Interlaken to climb it, or say they
have sat in the hotel and wished that
they might climb it. Mont Blanc,
in the same delightful little European
republic, is forever quilted with snow,
and for this reason is one of the most
seductive features of travel to the
neighborhood of Geneva.
Then, asks the Denver Times, why
should not every American who has
money to spare and the desire to make
a Journey into Colorado strap a pair
of mountain boots on his legs, put II
spike on an ash staff and attempt
to climb Mount Blanca, in the south
ern part of the state? Mount Blanca
is over $4,000 feet high. Or, if he does
rot desire to take the risk of this
perilous ascent, why should not he
come up into the northern part Of
the state, place his field glasses in
his hands and gaze on the glacier and
the perpetual banks of snow that COW
err Mount Hallett? Or, if tourists be
possessed of reverence and piety, why
may they not locate in central Col
orado and fix your eyes upon the
great White CTOSS lildI IIluelltS lHC
Mount of the Holy Cross at an ele-
walton of 14,176 feet?
There are 10 mountains in Colorado
whose peaks are over $4,000 feet above
the ocean level. Forty of these are
higher than 1900 feet. and more than
half that number are SO remote and
rugged that no one has yet dared to
attempt to climb them. The Alps are
as unique as that Of Switzerland, and
as fearful as the Alps in the warn
ing they offer to the men or women
who are so hardy as to defy them by
starting upon their ascent. Some of
them are massed with snow others
have glaciers over their approaches
and others are merely masses of jag
ged rocks.
Not even Coloradoans have sought
as yet to surmount them, and the pro-
fession of guide" is still open to who
ever. may care to enter it. Railroads
reach within close enough range to
provide hotel facilities, but otherwise
the mountain climbing of Colorado is
yet awaiting it's pioneers. Did the
Coloradoans or people of other states
fully realize the intoxication, as well
as the health-giving powers Of NOUN
tain climbing, Rocky mountain climb
ing would be one of the most popular
recreationS of America.
Only one mountain limbinb club Is
known to exist in Colorado. There Is
room for dozen more. There should
be one in every city. BY the EVIL
dence which. such clubs might offer of
unexampled pastines, the fame of the
unexampley pastimes, the fame Of the
Rockies as a place of pleasure and adj
venture might be widely advertised,
and Colorado thus be pushed forward
to the place it must eventually occu-
by as the American substitute for
Switzerland.

"GOLF ARM" THE LATEST.
1t Is an Aristocratic Aflment-Re
suit of the New Game.


NEW YORK, Oct 8-"Golf arm" is
the latest discovery of local physicians
in the way of physical ailment. 1t
results, of course, from too arduous and
too steady indulgence in the royal and
ancient game Of the brawny Scot.
The base ball player gave us glass
ARM the scorcher introduced the
bicycle face" But those are common
and plebeian ailments; the ''golf arm
is patrician and troubles only the aris-
tocrat. In a general way, however, it
is said to originate from much the
same sort of exercise as that which
disposition and ill disposed toward ho1l-
orable sport have often insisted that
the last named disease came from the
too frequent crooking of the elbow
necessary to elevating a glass to the
hps-a practice attributed to ball play
ers-and have claimed that an X-ray
photograph of glass arm" would
show a jointed series of small whisky
tumblers where the bones of the arm
ought to be.
OF course, so far as "glass arm" re-
suits from any such causes it bears no
relation to golf arm 1t is easy to
see, though, how - Golfer, in trying to
loft his ball from behind a bad hum
mock, or drive it from it's half-buried
position in sand bunker should so
wrench the muscles of his biceps and
shoulders as to produce that bound
and lame condition which really is golf
arm"
/. What will be the effect of the new
disease on the playing of the game,
which has become so popular of late
with Americans, is hard to predict.
There seems little doubt however, that
it will result in many 'foozled ar
proaches" and other misplays that
work havoc with good scores.
This discovery of the new disease
teaches one thing, though, of which all
American golfers ought to feel proud
and that is that they are nearer up to
date in the game than are the Scotch
with whom it originated. Golf has
been played for centuries in Scotland.
and there never was such thing heard
of there as "golf arm" The game has
been played in America but very few
years, and those who indulge in it have
developed this difficulty almost at the
start. Truly, those Scotch are hardy

COACH stage DENIES.
Says He Has No Prejudice Against
Minnesota University.

CHICAGO Oct. S.-Coach Stage, of the Uni
versity of Chicago eleven, is inclined to ridi-
Guile the suggested formation of an associa-
ton of colleges and amateur athletic clubs,
distinct from the Western Intercollegiate as
ISOLATION, in which the University of Chicago
should be ignored. This suggestion game
from William Hale Thompson, of the Chicago
Athletic association, and was published in
Minneapolis, together with some sarcastic re-
marks concerning Mr. Stages refusal to ar
range dates with either the University of Min
nesota of the G. A. A.
When Mr.. Stage was asked about his rela-
ton with the University of Minnesota he pro-
tested his friendliness with the Northern
school, and that he had not endeavored nor
had any intention of endeavorng to push it
out of the Western Intercollegiate Athletic
association, as the letter seemed to hint. He
said, however, there were many reasons why
it was impossible for the University of Chi
cago to play Minnesota this year. The sched-
uIe for his school is filled. All the Western
colleges have limited their hard games this
year to a small number, and he did not feel
1t would be fair for him to make his men
work harder than those of other schools. In
selecting the schools with which he would
play he was governed largely also by the
number of alumni they each had in the city,
and he was convinced that Chicago contains
fewer graduates from Minnesota than from
Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois and Northwest
ern, the four schools on the Chicago sched-
ule.

pietes them the G o b e will give them to

Of newspapers which wouldn't know an ac-
curate sporting item If they saw 1t a tabula-
ton which he calls the Western league aver
ages. The G / o b e has these averages in
its possession, but they are so full of glazing
errors that it will not give space to them.
This young man has made these averages
apparently from score sheets printed in
newspapers about the circuit but, every
body knows. half or more of these were not
made by official scorers, and do not approx
mate correctness. He is, no doubt, nearer
the facts as to batting than fielding. He
makes Mcbride lead the whole league with
the willow with an average of 1882, Glass
cock is placed third at 1878, Isbell seventeenth
at .345, George twentieth at $40 and Nyce
twenty-fourth at 1893. However, the figures
are so far from accuracy as to be hardly
worth comment.

PNEUMATIC CARRIERS TRIED.
Cats and Eggs Sent Through Them
in New York City.

in New York City.
NEW YORK, Oct S.-A live cat and
dozen eggs made a trip in one of the
pneumatic carriers sent between the
postoffice and the produce exchange
this afternoon. The cat was alive and
unframed at the end of this strange
journey and the eggs were uIibroken.
This furnished an illustration of the
feasibility of human travel in pneu-
matte cars. The occasion was the open
ing of the pneumatic dispatch system
in this city. Postmaster General Gary.
former Postmaster Tyner, Mayor
Strong, Chauncey NJ. Depew and many
we'll known citizens were present.
The first package dispatched con-
tanned handsome copy of the Bible,
in which the passage, "My days are
swifter than a post"-Job TX, 25-was
marked. The Bible was wrapped in
the national flag, and the package also
contained copy of President McKin-
ley's inaugural address.
Many other curious things were af-
terward hurled from point to point Of
the system with great speed and safe
ty.
The route opened runs from the Fed
eral building through Beekman and
William streets to the produce eX-
change, and it is expected that within
a month the tubular dispatch company
will open its routes to the subpost-
offices in Ninth, Twenty-third, Twen-

1t is expected that parcels of mail mat
ter will be sent from office to Office

TEAM PAGING MARK
THE WORLDS RECORD BROKEN
BY JOHN r.. GENTRY AND
ROBERT j.
BETTERED BY ONE SECOND.
TWO TRIALS NEEDED TO ESTAB-
LISH THE NEW FIGURES
FOR PAIRS.
LAST QUARTER IN SPEEDY TIME.
But for a Heavy Wind Better Work
Might Have Been Done by
the Cracks.

GLENS FALLS, N Y, Oct. Sat
the mile-track Of the Northern Horse
Breeders association here today John
r. Gentry and Robert ] broke the pac-
ing team record, going the mile in
POS. This was done after the pair had
been sent away in 2:11, and before the
close of the days sport Gentry, with
a running mate, paced a mile in 2:O3A.
Three thousand persons filled the
stands. Robert J was given warming
up heat in ZIP, and Gentry was sent
a mile in 2:091a. The two great PAGERS
then made ready for their effort
against the worlds record of 2:09 for
double teams. After a short spin they
faced the flag and received the word.
They turned the first quarter in 80
seconds going steady, and the half in
1:0424 was hung out; the three-quar-
tiers was turned off in 1:37A, and the
mile in Pill. This, of course, was a
disappointment.
In the second trial the team got away
on the third score, Robert j having
broken on the first turn in the two
first attempts. The first quarter was
a repetition of the first trial, in 81 sec
onds but the half mile was quarter
of a second slower. They reached the
three-quarter pole in 1:37A again. AS
they Strengthened out for home, Driver
Bovine shook them up a bit, and they
came down the stretch in a tremendous
burst of speed, passing under the wire
in the marvellous time of 1904 for the
last quarter and making the mile in
2:0S. The crowd went wild with en-
thusiasm.
Shortly afterward Gentry was
brought out for his trial with a rum
ming mate to break the track record Of
2:011a, made by himself in 1896. He
went the distance with clock-like reg
ularity in 2:03%, finishing fresh, which,
, considering the work he had done pre-
vious to this, was great performance
Robert J was then sent along. He
turned the first quarter in 80 seconds,
the half in 1 minute, the three-quarters
in 1:33, and the mile in 2:04a4. The wind
interfered greatly in the trials, and
but for this interference the record
would undoubtedly have gone much
lower
Gentry and Robert will be shipped
tomorrow to Hagerstown, Md, where
they will appear at the state fair. They
will go from there to Nashville, Tenn.
