AMATEURS OR PROFESSIONALS,
Considerable Discussion Aroused Over

Discussion Aroused Over
Standing of Foot Ball Coaches.
George Foster Sanfords application to
the Amateur Athletic Union board Of gov
errors Monday last at New York, to have
his standing as an amateur made clear. and
the boards refusal to touch the matter, has
created considerable discussion. Sanford
has been coaching the Columbia College
foot ball team for two years, and has re-
ceived liberal salary for his services. One
argument advanced in Sanford's favor is
that there are a number Of college grad
yates in the same position. who would be
highly indignant If their standing anna
teurS was questioned.
Julian w. Curtis, who Is q prominent
Yale man, and conducts the business man

feSSional.

James E. Sullivan, secretary of the A. A.
u, said yesterday in New York:
THE reason the board of governors would
not take up Sanfords application Is that
they had a precedent in the case of Hugh
Janeway. the Princeton man, who applied
for reinstatement as an amateur some years
ago. The board went over the matter very
carefully at that time and refused Jane
ways application"

wOMEN,s BICYCLE RACE.
Miss Cast Leading in the Contest by
Two LADS.

The women's six-day bicycle race at
Brooklyn has resolved itself into a contest
between Miss Marguerite Cast and Miss
Lottie Brandon of Canada for first place.
All through the afternoon and evening ses-
sions yesterday each woman tried to leave
the other behind, but every attempt was
unsuccessful. Miss Brandon yesterday,
however, lost two laps through a mishap,
which she will doubtless be unable to make
up. Mrs. Jane Lindsay and Miss Marie
Davis are hanging on doggedly.
Mrs. Bayne, at the end of the afternoon
session, swooned on the track and lost a
great deal of time. She regained her
strength after awhile and went back to
the track. but she is constantly losing
ground and sees that her chances of win
ming are hopeless, barring some unexpect-
ed mishap. Miss Pethard began to show
the effects of the strain she was laboring
under, and had to withdraw from the race
permanently shortly after the beginning of
last nights trick.
The final scores for the day were: Miss
Cast, 165 miles laps: Miss Brandon, 165
miles 6 laps; Mrs. Lindsay, 162 miles l lap:
Miss Davis, 160 miles laps; Miss Bayne,
15S miles laps.

Yale Takes Short Practice.
The work Of the Yale foot ball squad on
the college campus was shortened yester-
day afternoon and the scrimmaging less
severe for the regulars. In fact. they were
not permitted to carry the ball at all, being
worked only in defensive tactics against
the substitute team. But that was good
practice, and showed that the weakness
evident Monday was mainly due to fatigue
and stiffness resulting from the Princeton

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 7.-Former
United States Senator Charles A. Falkner

"The democratic national committee

Fell Asleep at his rost.

New YORK, Aug. &c. Thiele, fourth
officer of the Hamburg-American liner
Deutschland, blew out his brains during
the voyage of the big ocean greyhound
that was finished when the steamer
reached her pier in Hoboken today. The
second day out it was Thiele's turn to
watch on the bridge. The air made him
drowsy and he fell asleep at his post.
Captain Albers came upon him, ordered
him to take off his coat, the ships badge
Of Office, and sent him to his cabin. The
young sailor went down in disgrace. Five
minutes after the door closed behind him
a shot was heard, and when it was forced
open Thiele lay on the floor with bullet
in his brain.

Wants to Go to China

NEW YORK, Aug. Ga special to the
Herald from Washington SAYS
1t is learned on excellent authority
that General Nelson A. Miles has recently
applied for service in China. His appli-
cation has not been granted War de-
partment officials say that General Chat
fee was sent to China to command the
American troops and to relieve him at
this time would be reflection upon his
conduct Of affairs.
Friends of General Miles say that Cen
eral Miles, i'll addition to his experience
and ability, has the rank to meet the
commading officers of other troops upon
the same footing. They even go SO far as
to assert that General Miles reputation
would go far toward causing the COM
manders of other columns to defer to his
judgment, and the result would be most
effective cooperation.
General Miles declines to discuss the
attitude of the war department OH his APP
plication, though he admitted that he
had indicated his Willingness to serve in
the far east. He thinks the situation in
China is most serious, and setting aside
all questions of his own wishes, he is
making every effort to equip General
Chaffee's command to stand the rigorous
duty.

Philippine Convalescents.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 6.-The general
hospital at the Presidio contains about
500 patients at the present time, all of
them being soldiers returned from the
Philippines. Many are merely GONZALES
cents.
For the past three days two regimental
veterinary surgeons, with several assist
ants, have been busy suppressing CLAN
ders among some 1900 animals of the
Third and Ninth cavalry regiments. On
Friday and Saturday ten horses were
found affected with the contagion and
were promptly killed. Five others were
isolated as suspicious cases. Since then
there have been no new cases. Besides

gave positive assurance that neither
Prince Tuan nor any other member of
the government knew of the intended
killing, and he also declared that Baron
Won Ketteler was not murdered because a
German, but because foreigner; in a
word, he was victim of the Chinese ha-
tired of foreigners.
The Chinese govei eminent is not strong
enough to put down the Boxers,' said
Earl Ii, "but the thought Of accepting
assistance from the powers to put them
down is extremely repugnant to the gov
ernment."
In reply to question as to who was at
the head of the central government he
said it was administered by Prince Tuan,
in the name of the emperor.

Ii Hung Chang Talks.

BERLIN, Aug. 7.--The German foreign
Office announced tonight it had no China
news, and it doubted whether the ad-
vance Of the allied forces from Tientsin
had begun.
The Lokal Anzieger publishes an inter
view which DR.. Saker. its special China
correspondent, had with Ii Hung Chang
at Canton on July S. Earl Ii told the
correspondent that the Boxers would not
rebel, and were loyal to the royal house.
This movement, he explained, was di-
reoted chiefly against native Christians
who had been using International protec-
ton to oppress Boxers.
With reference to the missionaries he
said: ut is my firm conviction that the
missionaries are always in danger, for the
relations between the Chinese population
and foreigners have been the cause Of
nearly ali the troubles, and will always
continue to be-
! Earl Ii went on to say that Chinese
hatred Of foreigners had been increased
Of late through the action of the powers,
particularly in the seizure of Kiao Chau
which he described as as ''an exorbitant
penalty for couple Of missionaries.
