The Boston Copper Market in Sus-
pioious Commotion for the
Last Three Months.
IT IS FINALLY FOUND OUT
That Uncle John D. is Trying to Secure
Control of All the Copper Mining
Industries in the United
States.

New York, Dec. 1.-The Tribune says:
For several months speculation in the
Boston copper market has been unusu-
ally active. One cause of it, now re-
ported from that city, is the entrance of
John d. Rockefeller into the copper
mine field as large investor. He has
already secured majority interest i'm
the stock of the Butte and Boston Min
ing Company, and is negotiating for a
controlling interest Of other copper
mines at Butte, Mont, the ultimate OBJ
ject being to control the copper mining
industry of the whole United States.
When the Tribune reporter asked of Mr.
Rockefeller about this Boston story his
answer was: You don't believe that
do you?"
Nothing whatever was known here
about any intention on Rockefeller's
part to invest in copper properties.

pended upon to look out for his club, but
Pittsburg has suffered in the past and is
due this season for something good Man.
ager Hanlon should remember that there
are others in the National League circuit
and that the best of everything cannot
come his way every season, II Mr.. Han
lon will recall when he has had bad dates,
he will find that 1t has not been in recent
years. The Baltimore manager complains
season, while Washington has only 1900
chalked against it's travelling expenses.
Pittsburg has 1900 miles to cover, yet
there is no kick from Manager Watkins.
AS for the Washington club, will some one
recall when We had a good schedule? Under
the present circumstances it is no wonder
that Treasurer Earl Wagner is pleased.
He sees ahead chances for making money
and also for landing his club in a good
position in the championship race. Let
us have something, just this once; We
have never had a good thing before, and
we may never have it again. So quit kick
ing and grin and bear it this year. Wash
ington had a tough schedule for many
seasons past, but when q kick was made
We were told the club needed it for ffnan-
cial reasons. This year things look diff

1t strikes the average follower of the
national game that If the youngsters bent
on making fame and money as professional
ball players should select third base as
their home position success would come
their way more frequently. 1t has long
been claimed that third base is the hardest
position on a ball team to fill. and the very

THE COMING MATCH RACE

AS the time draws near interest increases
in the match race between a. c. Moran of
this city and w. G. LeCompte of Balti-
more, whose picture appears on this page
1t is understood that LeCompte has started
at hard work in training for his ride.
Moran is getting down to harness, and is
rapidly coming into trim. He is working
every day, hardening his muscles, and in
riding his wheel for various distances. He
realizes that a twenty-five-mile race is
much more wearing than a sprint race, re-
Quiring endurance as well as head work.
The match race will be the first meeting
of the two riders this season. Last year
Moran and LeCompte met eight or more
times, on different tracks, and each time
the washington man was able to vanquiSh
the Baltimorean. A middle distance race
might prove different thing, but good
many favor the local boy in the race, and
he will not go to the tape without plenty
of substantial backing. The record estab-
lished by him on the track is we'll known,
and he bids fair to even exceed 1t.
LeCompte bears the title Of champion of
Maryland, having won several state cham
picnships. He was in a number of race
meets last year, and acquitted himself
with glory. He was more successful in his
native city and surrounding towns than he
was In this city, however where he won
only one race and that handicap affair.
Likewise he seemed to fare badly when
the Washington riders visited Baltimore
and entered race meets. This year great
improvement is reported in his riding, and
this makes him an antagonist all the more
to be looked after.
A compilation Of his riding last year
shows the following races won: June 2, at
Washington, three-mile open; July and
5. at state meet, Frederick. third-mile,
half-mile, one-mile and two-mile (state
championships, one-mile open, 21-mile road

S 0 M E CYCLE CHAT

The proposed twenty-five-mile match race
between Moran OF this city and LeCompte
Oh Baltimore, which was originally ar
ranged for May 30, has caused similar
events among amateur riders to be ar
ranged The one which has assumed the
most prominence is the race which Il is
proposed between Lee Counselman and F.
l.. wilson or George Z. Smith, all we'll
hboWh local riders. Inc event is scheduled
Ier some time about May Z, provided the
rev track at the International Athletic
fafK can be put In readiness by that time.

miles, possibly twenty-five miles. If the
event comes OF 1t will be strictly local

wilson Is good sprint racer and has done
some fine riding. Last season he rode in
good form, and stands third in the list of
local racers, published in The Star last fall
"A i.ice oetWeeH the TWO ought to prove in
teresting. Smith stands fourth In the local
racing world, and is regarded as a coming
man.
There seems to be an idea prevailing that
the match between Moran ard LeCompte
VIII not come of on Decoration day. The
cause is due to the fact that May 30 is
generally the opening of the cycle racing
season Every racing man who is in any
condition turns out on that day for a trial
OF his speed. This being the case, every
man viii want to race for himself In view
OF this, II will be difficult matter to se-
cure pacemakers for the men in the match
race. Even II pacemakers can be Obtained.
1t Will be riders who have already ridden
In race, and are therefore not at their
best for pacing work. They will not be
able to make a fast showing Another
thing is that there will be race meets in
both Washington and Baltimore on that
day. The local racers will probably remain
in this city and enter tho local race meet
1t would be hard thing for Moran to Sc
cure enough to accompany him to BaltI-
more and make pace for him In the match
race. If there was no race meet in this
city the condition Of affairs would be en-
tirely different.
Another possibility has. loomed up, and
that is the match race may be run or In
