LONG RACE FOR PEDESTRIANS,
Best Six Day Performers in Country
 to Compete for Weston Trophy. <

Best Six Day Performers in Country
 to Compete for Weston Trophy.
 Philadelphia will soon be the Mecca of all the prominent six day pedestri- ans in this country. The second six day go as you please race for the Wes- ton trophy, which is emblematsc of the worlds champio ionship, starts in Indus trial hall on next Sunday night, and one of the greatest events of it's kind is anticipated. Philadelphians are much worked up over the starting of Pat Cavanaugh, who is considered the greatest runner in the world Cayan- augh, through an injury to his leg, was unable to compete for the belt which was won by Pat Dineen last fall It was Dineen's first long race, and by defeating all the greatest six day men in America except Cavanaugh he proved a surprise
 D1neen has competed in eight short distance races since then, winning four of them. He has improved since he won the six day race, and he expresses the greatest confidence in his ability to finish first in the coming contest. The Ancient Order of Hibernians of Boston are behind Dineen, while the entire Irish element of Philadelphia are with Cavanaugh.
 Although these men are favorites for the event, Happy Jack'' Smith puts in a strong bid for the belt in be- half of his colored protege, Henry Shell ton. It was principally through the splendid handling of him by Happy Jack" that Dineen finished first last fall. Smith has trained the greatest 'speds" in the world, including Hazel, Littlewood, Rowell, O'Leary, Fitzger- ald, Tracey, Guerrero, Shelton, yint and Jimmy Albert, and no man whom he trained ever finished worse than third
 Terry McGovern, ex-featherweight champion pugilist, who has been train ing in Fairmount park, Philadelphia, thinks pretty we'll of Shelton's chances and has offered to wager $1OO that the colored runner Wll be among the first three at the finish.

Keene, is top weight in the City and Suburban handicap The winner of the Brooklyn handicap i'll 1901 will carry 126 pounds, the English rules providing that in case the highest weight accepting is not 126 pounds, the impost of the highest accepting weight shall be raised to 126, and all other remaining assignments increased in proportion.

 Jockey Charles Garrigan has signed 1 to ride for Edouard de Reszke in Rus sia during the coming season. There has been rumor in circula- 1 tion that Clarence H. Mackay would come back to racing with a strong sta ble as, early as the Saratoga meeting of this year.
 The fact that Savalble won last years Futu1ity, that Enoch Wishard is his trainer and that John A. Drake is a big bettor have served to make the son of Salvador a natural favorite for the American Derby.

American BowIer. at odds.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 1S.-There is a possibility of a split in the American Bowling association. Unless the next tournament shall go to Milwaukee it is said that the powders of Iowa, Wiscon- sin and Minnesota will secede from the national association and form an inter- state league. Cleveland bowlers, it is said, will go after the next tournament with great vigor. The CleYelanders were supposed to favor Louisville. The eastern teams probably will give their support to Cleveland. Indianapolis and Chicago delegates hold the balance of power.

PRINCETON, N. J., Feb. 1s.-Pro- lessor H. B. Fine, chairman of the faculty athletic committee, has noti- fled Captain Purnell of the hockey team that all further games scheduled to be played by the team must be cancelled.

BASKET BALL.

The basket ball game at the local armory last night between the Com pany G and the Waterbury High school teams, resulted in victory for the for mer by the score of IS to 10. The game was not very interesting, as the High school boys were outclassed too much by the military boys. The first half ended with the score 6 to 4 ill favor of Company G. It was the first game that has been played in the local armory in several years in which an outside team has taken part. What is meant by an outside team is team consisting of players not representing any military company of the state. The rules prohibit any outside team from playing in the armories through out the state and in order that the High school team could play in the local armory last night permission had to be secured from Adjutant-G General Cole. The local boys are praying that the rules will be done away with in the near future.
 The lineup of the teams last night was as follows:
 Company e. Position. High School. SlaVln .......... g .s.......... .DaIy stem ...........g ....-...... Spain Kelly ...-.... ....... Blansfeld Connor ......... .,........ Nichols

RECORD PICKEREL FISHING.

One of Seven Pounds Hauled Out of
 Columbia Reesrvoir.
 Willimantic, Feb 1S.C Columbia reser- voir is furnishing the record pickerel this winter. A number of big fellows have been taken from the pond the present winter, but the catch of o. D. Leach last Saturday makes a record which it is believed nobody has ever reached before and big fish stories will have to be revised and enlarged at once or else fiction will have to take second place to tr'.th so far as fish stories are concerned. MT Leach caught a string of twenty-four pickerel at the reservoir last Saturday and among the lot was one that weighed seven pounds when taken out of the water. It was twenty seven inches long and very fat.

 San Francisco, Feb 18.-Billy Mad den doesn't want to return to the east without getting a match on for ms other protege. Gus Ruhlin. Billy feels somewhat discourag ged over the defeat of Denver Ed'' Martin by Jack John son, but he is confident that the Akron Giant will do better. '|Ruhlin did not get his just deserts in his battle with Jeffries in this city" says Billy. He was hit very hard early in the contest, and on that account was unable to make a good showing. In his light with Tom Sharkey, however, he proved himself a top-notcher. I am anxious to give him another fight here, just to show the people how good he really is'' Billy asked Harry Corbett for a match, but was refused by the Yosem- ite club manager on the ground that his dates were engaged. It is said that A1eck Greggains will try to arrange a bout for the San Francisco club. with Sharkey and Ruhlin as competitors
