FIELDING.
AT THE COLOSSEUM.

Another exciting motor-paced race, I'm
fact, two are assured the followers OF
the Fame Wednesday evening at the Col
asseum when the three-cornered motor
paced race and amateur-paced race will
take place. The card is the strongest ever
offered 10 the Colosseum and should at
tract the largest crowd OF the season. The
contestants will be Basil De Guichard,
who put up such an exciting race with
Mclean, Tommy Hall. the English cham
pion. and Joe Nelson. the former anna
teur champion.
The distance will be 25 miles. The work
of De Guichard Friday evening Is suf-
ficient guarantee that there will be some
thing doing In every race he starts In.
Tommy Hall is accounted a fast pace fol-
lower while Joe Nelson has shown record
breaking miles when I'm training at the
Colosseum He is a brother OF the late
Johnny Nelson and experts claim that
he will be even faster than the rider who
used to give stinson such hard races last
summer. The other event will be race
in itself.
Hubert Martin of this city will meet
Sammy Sulkins of Boston In a paced-race
behind singles. These two amateurs have
been after each other for some time and
there is bad feeling between them which
originated last season when they were
riding In the sprint game. Martin Is
training to the hour for the race and Is
going 10 administer a thrashing 10 his
rival IL he can do so. Sulkins said last
week that he would bet that he beats
Martin.
1t will be a case OF Boston versus Prov
idence and the admirers OF both riders
will back their opinion. II Is more than
likely that the records made by Martin
Friday night will go by the board III not
some OF the worlds records. There will
be an attractive card OF sprint races. Mel
son is expected In this city today and
Hall will arrive by tomorrow. De Guich-
ard is training at the Colosseum and is
anxious 10 win the race Wednesday even
ing He is already the favorite In the bet
ting.

THE COLLEGE TEAMS

The college season for 1902 closed with
the game in New York Saturday In which
Harvard defeated Yale in the third and
deciding game OF the series. Brown was
considerable of a disappointment. but
the seasoning the new men obtained will
be OF great value for next year.
Among the Eastern college teams, first
place seems TO belong TO Harvard. Out

but It's two pitchers. who played a large
part in the teams success, are neverthe-
less part of the team. Harvard won the
series from Yale and Pennsylvania and
went through the season with very few
defeats. The Cambridge men lost their
one game with Princeton. The Yale team
accomplished wonders. considering it's out

considered mediocre. the Ellis by sheer

for next year. The new Harvard captain
is Walter Clarkson, the crack pitcher,
whose work In the box had much 10 do
with Harvard's successful season on the
diamond. Clarkson is brother OF the
noted professional pitchers, John and Ar

senior next year.
The Yale men chose Burnside Winslow
OF Philadelphia for their next captain.
Winslow is catcher and a good one,
running Green of Princeton a close race
for the right TO be called the best catch
er among the Eastern colleges. He is OF
the class OF 1904.
