BIG JOHNNY FLYNN.
Winona Rejoices In His Selection rs
Football Captain.

Winona Rejoices I'm His Selection rs
Football Captain.
Special to The Globe.
WINONA, Mimi, Dec. M.-The many
friends in Winona of John Flynn are
pleased to note bis election as captain of
the University Of Minnesota football
team for next year.
The rise Of Mr.. Flynn in the football
world has been phenomenal. He re-
ceived his first idea of football in this
city with the high school team several
years ago. When he first came on the
field he was the most awkward man
that ever wore a football suit. When
ever he attempted to handle the ball he
fumbled 1t, and when he tried to
punt he kicked the ball with his shin
and sent 1t over his head
But John Flynn did not know what It
was to become discouraged. He vas
out to the practive every evening, when
many other boys would find some
uamusement to take them away. He
was always In the play, trying to learn.
In games he seldom made objections
to the decisions Of the officials when
they were against his team, but went
into the game with a frmer determine
ton to overthrow unfair tactics with
better playing.
There was some improvement in his
playing at the end of the first season,
but it was we'll along in the second
season before he began to be a power In
the team. From that time his ad-
vance was rapid. In all Of the games
then played by the Winona high school
team he and brother Bob were the
ones most relied on for gains In
critical times, and they never failed to
come up to expectations.
After John went to the university he

queror, and they ultimately agreed that
their horse should go against Fanny
jerks hundred-mile time All the de-
talls were soon arranged and the Centre
vile track, then the favorite place for
long-distance matches, was selected.
Wide publicity was given to this affair,
and on the day appointed there was a
tremendous gathering of lovers of the
turf. An unexampled amount of money
was wagered on the result, the majority
OF the bets being against Conqueror The
brothers Costar were not backward, how
ever, in taking all of the bets offered
them.
And Conqueror won. He made the very
best record ever made, trottfng the hun
dred miles in nearly three quarters Of an
hour less time than had Fanny jerks
The exact time of Conqueror's unpar-
alleleu feat was s hours So minutes and
SO seconds.
Everybody congratulated the Costar
brothers, and even those who lost their
bets We're full Of admiration for the great
and game horse that had been the cause
of their loss; while the Costars,s when
they gathered in the proceeds of their
bets, congratulated themselves, and an
nounced wine supper to celebrate Con-
queror's victory.
The supper, however, was not given.

GUS horse that trotted his owners into

had paid the penalty of the great strain
with his life.
The remorse of the Costar brothers was
very great. This, however, could not
bring ConQueror back; but The death of
the victor promptly put step to 1OO-mile
matches against time.
Fifty miles was then fixed upon as the
limit of long distance matches, and
Hiram Woodruff brother, Isaac, drove
his horse Spangle fifty miles to wagon
in hours SO minutes and seconds Con-
sidering that driver and wagon together
weighed 400 pounds, this was regarded as
great a feat of endurance and stamina as
any Of the preceding 100-mile matches.
Still later on twenty miles got to be the
! long-distance limit, and in this line the
mare Lady Fulton won distinction. She
trotted twenty miles in five seconds with
in the hour; and year later she did
even letter. Capt. MCGOWAN trotted the
same tfistance in about minute and a
| half less Tines minutes and rs seconds
But, gradually, even twenty miles got to
be thought too long; then ten miles was
made the limit; and, finally, stamina was
disregarded altogether, and the only thing
thought of was speed.

THE OLD TIME TROTS
WHEN THE STAYING QUALITIES
OF TROTTTNG HORSES
COUNTED
GREAT ENDURANCE SHOWN
Fatal Ending of One
Event of This
Kind.
GREAT ENDURANCE SHOWN

Years ago the staying and enduring
qualities OF horses were more pr1zed than
were their speed capacities. AT that
time a celebrated mare Fanny jerks, on
the old Bulls Head track, trotted lVl
miles in 8 hours, AZ minutes and 81 sec
onds. Ten years before this feat of
Fanny jerks the famous long-distance
trotters were Master Burke and Robin.
On one occasion D. r. Theall, well
known turtle, trotted three horses in
team 100 miles over the same track IN
hours, As minutes and As seconds. This
feat remained at the head of the long
distance records till Fanny jerks came
along and lowered the time by about
six minutes.
Five years after Fanny jerks per-
Torrance a very promising bay marc
called Kate was put on the track to
lower Fannys record. This event brought
sporting men from all over the country
to the Centerville IN. J.) track, but it
proved failure. Kate not only failed
to beat Fanny jerks time, but she
even failed to equal the time of Robin
and Master Burke, though she trotte1
the 100 miles in 9 hours and 40 minutes.
Another speedy horse Of that period,
named Trustee trotted 20 miles in SO min
yates and 80 seconds. Earnest efforts
were made to get the owner Of Trustee
to enter him Tor IO0-rnlle IrOt, DuJ ne
would not consent to it, regarding it
as too severe a strain for any animal.
Still the 1CO-mile test was INDUCED i'll
every now and then, until one occurrence
put a stop to it altogether.
A horse called Conqueror turned up,
who had done wonders, and promised
more. He was rightly named for he
proved to be conqueror in all Of his
engagements. His owners and hackers
thought he was the best horse in the
world and for a long while they were
Justified in so thinking. He had never
been beaten by a competitor, but. as
often happens-both with horses and men
the action of injudtcious admirers ruined
him. One day a number of prominent
sporting men who had gathered at the
-Four Mile house, on Third avenue, be-
gan to discuss the capabilities of Con-
queror. Some argued that his achieve
ments thus far were all good luck, while
others contended that Conqueror had nc
superior in the equine world. Among the
gentlemen present were Charles and
Washington Costar, the owners of. Con-

by some fuke secure score might pre-
vent the stronger team from securing q

proper time out.
The Calling of a Game.
The old bugaboo of calling time" on
account of darkness has again crept Into
the games which start too late and the
absence of a proper rule to compel the
calling of the game has resulted In
numerous games terminating in the
moonlight or darkness. and often ending
in a wrangle, as did the Philadelphia
Homestead game. when the Pittsburs
rooters swarmed on the field.
West Point and Princeton and severa'
other colleges and numerous schools
have a play which While legal saNors OF
the unsportsmanship which all wish to
see eliminated from any amateur sport.
That is the player who does not tackle
the player but tackles the bali. The
question of stealing" the ball cannot
be condemned, because If a player al
lows ball to be stolen from him before
he retains it by calling down, that is
his fault, but to be deliberately thrown
with the force of a sledge hammer by
one player while on a run and have
another tackle the ball by diving into II,
the game.
Of course, as the opposing side Is ex-
pecting a play Of this character, Its
players are very alert and easily follow
the ball and nine times out of ten secure
it.
The question as to what down is it aft
err a penalty is somewhat confusing to
some, but the general rule that is always
first down after every penalty except
where the side in possession of the, ball
is apenalized for offside and then the
down remains the same as before the
penalty was inflicted, will hHld good.
There are some advocates of having
everyone on side ON a kick, and thus
having a free field to all corners. This
would certainly make the game more
open and spectacular, but would increase
the roughness of the game many fold.
Rough play has been practically elm
mated, at least minimized, and to keep
it where 1t is will be the line of action
to pursue.
