for another year, as the Northern Pa
cific eleven, was received.
With little time and hardly any fit
place for practice, the members of the
team have stuck by each other and
met and defeated praoticed teams from
different parts of the state and Wiscon-
sin. No team in this state succeeded
in beating the railroad boys, and the
Eau Claire chaps, their only victors
during the season, were sent home on
Thanksgiving with a worse drubbing to
carry with them. The Northern Pa
eif1c team claims the position of honor
in the state outside of the state univer-
sity, and not without some justice too,
for the eleven defeated Shattuck and
Shattuck defeated the Carleton team
from Mortified, the only other claim
ant for championship honors.- The rail-
road eleven has made total of sixty
points in seven games, against a total
of thirty-six for their adversaries, in

tinued President Killilea, SIS that when
a manager purchases players and sends
his list to the president of the league,
Ban Johnson will ascertain the total
amount Of salaries paid, and If it en-
ceeds $1,000 a month, the salaries Of
some Of the men will have to be cut
before the president will sign the men
for the league club. However, during
the first month of the season the $4,000
limit will not apply, as 1t Is supposed
that the teams are taking on form
during that time and that the man
ayers necessarily require a large num-
Der Of players from which to select a
club. Accordingly, during that month
q club can spend any amount 1t wishes
to do in paying salaries to players, but
after the first thirty days the managers
will be compelled to toe the line. A
provision has also been made that the
salary of the captain Of the team shall
not fall within the jurisdiction of the
$4,000 limit, and a club will be allowed
to pay their captain whatever they may
see fit under the conditions"
The new prerogative that has been
given President Johnson will give him
"a big hand of business" 1t will also
stop the players from rebelling against
the management on account of reduced
salaries, as they will be responsible to
the president of the league. The change
it is thought by the managers, will
surely result to the advantage Of the
Western league.

may give me on these lines will be highly

When here last summer Mr.. Hiraoka
explained that it was the ambition OF
himself and others who were playing
the game in Japan to become so pro-
ficient at it that they could bring a
team at some time to America. 1t is
Mr.. Harris opinion that the Japanese
should learn the American national
game without a great deal of trouble,
as they are agile and naturally like
athletic sports. Judging by the sue
cess Of the Australian team that visit

should be able to get a nine that could
win the international championship

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-The closing
day of the Lakewood clubs golf tour
nament was a glorious one. both In
point of weather and as regards re-
suits. The largest crowd Of the tour
ney saw the play, attracted by the
meeting of Whigham and Douglas in
the seni-fnals. Whigham, the cham
pion, who defeated Douglas at Chi
cago, was badly beaten by the sturdy
Scotchman who outplayed him from
the start. His play was not nearly SO
strong as was expected, while Doug
las put up winning golf from the
first drive off. On the first round
Whigham ended a difficulty with the
bunker on the course to the eighth
hole by giving up that hole, and at
the end Of the first round he found
himself five down to Douglas. He was
somewhat steadier in the second
round, but the odds were too much
against him, and Douglas was reward
ed for strong, careful play, by win
ming the match at the sixth hole by
a score of four up and three to play.
Larocque and Wright were the other
two in the semi-f1nals, the Philadel-
phian winning by three up and two
to play. This result brought Douglas
ana wright together for the finals.
Wright led his man until the sixteenth
hole, and he looked to be a winner.
He lost his head on the seventeenth
green, and Douglas won the next hole,
the match and the cup by a score of
one up.

STEP FOR PURE SPORT.
Four-Year Limit Finds Favor With
the Press.


Another decisive step in favor of alb
solute amateurism in athletics at the
Great Western colleges has been taken
says the Chicago Record, commenting
on Fridays conference.
The four-year limit, for which the
most earnest supporters of amateurism
have been working ever since the be-
ginning Of the reform movement, has
at last been agreed to by the following
Western institutions, composing the
Western intercollegiate association:
Chicago, Michigan, Wisconsin, Mime
scta, Purdue, Illinois and Northwest
ern. BY this new restriction Western
athletes are placed on the same basis
of control as those of the Eastern COL
leges, and in all important lines the
rules of both sections of the country
are identical.
Besides agreeing on the four-year
limit the conference decided on three
ether important notifications Here
after only the games between colleges
bound to this agreement will be look
ed upon as collegiate contests, and all
gal with outside teams will be re-
paratory school students will be allow
ed to participate in intercollegiate con-
tests, and the custom of summer
nines' will be frowned down.
The specification of certain colleges
as in the championship class is not in
terded to belittle contests with outside
elevens, but is to establish a standard
in determining the number of years
membership on the college athletic
teams. The prep" school rule will hit
Northwestern hardest, but that insti-
tuition has already announced it's in
tention to forbid the "preps" playing
hereafter. The summer nine evil is one
that is more widespread in the East
than in the West, but several of the
lake resorts make up their mines from
student players.

Will BE All the Players of the West
ern League.

All the players in the Western league
will be signed by President Ban"
Johnson during the season of 1898, thus
giving the chief executive of the or
ganization practically complete control
over the financial end of the league.
This move was decided upon at the re-
cent meeting of the "big guns" of the
Western league, but the nature OF the
change and it's significance to the or
ganization was not made public until
a few days ago.
President Killilea, Of the Milwaukee
club, disclosed the manner in which
President Johnson would be high lord
executioner of the league. He said
when the officials of the league met
for their annual meeting they decided
to adopt the $1,000 monthly salary limit
for each club in the organization. But,
of course, the natural question arose,
how will this limit be enforced and
how can the league compel their
various managers to live up to the pro-
vision. To those present at the meet
ing it was apparent that there was
only one method of enforcing the salary
limit, and that was to transfer to Pres
ident Johnson the prerogative of sign
ing all the players, reserved men as
we'll as new players.

In the view Of Cornell men now in
this city, the logical deduction from all
this liz simple and it explains the en-
tire situation up to date, viz: If any,
one Is to be left out, Yale is that one:
In other words, Yale has the third
chance of securing a contest with the
Cornell champions. Cornell men say,
however, that this must not be taken
to mean that Cornell would not row

READY TO ROW YALE.
Cornell VIII Meet the Blue Under
Certain Conditions.


NEW YORK. Nov. 27-Judging from
the present situation among the diff
ferent universities, some very import
ant questions will be brought up and
decided before the schedule of inter-
collegiate boat races for 1898 is COM
pleted. Now that there is a possibility
that Yale may invite Cornell to row
with her again, there is another dis
cussion going on as to what Cornell
will do with the challenge. 1t will all
depend upon the terms included in the
challenge. If the New Haven rowing
authorities send to Ithaca an offer to
row, couched in such language that
Cornell would have to alter her pres
ent implied understanding with the
Universities of Pennsylvania and Co
lumbia, there is little doubt that the
offer will be fatty refused.
Then there is Harvard. Cornell, had,
during the two seasons just passed, a
dual league with Harvard. The two
have rowed and played base ball to-
gether. Harvard and Cornell are very
friendly, and it is expected that Har-
ward will in turn make overtures for
a race in due season. And just here
comes the perpleXing question. If Co
lumbia and Pennsylvania ask for their

Also in the Balance.

NEW YORK. Nov. ,27--Peter Latham,
the veteran Englishman who has held
the worlds championship at racquets
for ten years, again successfully de-
Tended his title today in the courts of
the Racquet and Tennis club in this
city. His opponent was George Stand
Ing, champion racquet player of Amer
lea, and the stake was $4,000. This
was the second Of the home series, the
first set of the contests being played at
the Queens court, West Kensington, in
October last, Latham being the victor
of that occasion by four games to one,
and with rs aces to Sc. Today Latham
won by four games to three, scoring SO

terback and Kennedy center. The
''Medics'' did not expect to score
against the Indians, but went into the
game with the determination to keep
the score down if possible. The Med
les" not only kept the Indians guess
ing, but carried the ball twice over
the Carlisle line, something which no
other minor Western team has ever
done. The best feature Of the game
was the siXty-yard run of Cayou of
the Indian team, for a touchdown after
securing the ball on a tumble. Both
touchdowns scored by the .'Medics"
were made by superior play, the Indian
line being battered for repeated gains.
The final score was 20 to u in favor Of
the Indians, the Carlisle men missing
two goals.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2S.-The boxing
bouts at the Chicago Athletic club to-
night were lively and full Of interest
although the principal event Of the
evening failed to materialize. The first
event was between Sielaff and Lewis,
two local men at 100 pounds. 1t was
for four rounds and was declared
draw. Joe Sturch, of Chicago, demol-
ished Barney Mccall at the end Of the
eighth round, and had the best of it all
the way through. George Kerwin. of
Chicago, was to meet Paddy Smith, Of
Denver, but the latter failed to show
up and a man named Gibbons from
Philadelphia was hastily substituted.
1t was to have been three rounds, but
Gibbons was clearly outclassed and
the thing was stopped at the end of
the second round.
Douglas, of st. Louis, and Withie, OF
Green Bay, Wis, closed the evening.
Withie was groggy at the end of the
third round and gave up the contest.
