Reputation During the Past season.
one of the most conspicuous figures
in college football during the past sea-
son is James Lyman, the Savannah
boy, who was recently selected as cap
tain Of next years Cornell team. Ly-
nah made a great reputation on the
Cornell eleven, and was selected as
captain after having played on the
regular eleven one year. The reason
for his selection was mainly on account
Of what is termed vicious" playing,
and his perfect control of the men.
Lynah's football education was OBJ
tanned at Clemson, where he played
star end for two years. He went into
the game at Clemson very much
against his fathers wishes, and was so
badly injured in one of the games that
he had to be carried to the hospital.
1t was on account of these injuries
that he was advised by his father TO
refrain from further participation in
the game. He persevered. however,
with the same characteristic determine
ton that has won for him the cap
taincy of the big eleven.
In his play at quarterback for the
Cornell team Lyman was exceptionally
aggressive. and had he been a little
older, and had a stronger team in
front of him to assist in his play he
would undoubtedly have been chosen
for the all-American team.

STAKES ANNOUNCED.

Memphis, Tenn, Dec. s.-Secretary
McFarlane of the Memphis Jockey
Club tonight announced the stakes for
the spring meeting of 1904. Ten stakes
are offered that will close Jan.
2, 1904. Eight of these stakes
will be decided next year
and two, the Tennessee Derby and the
Tennessee Oaks, will be run in 1905.
No purses will be offered under $500.
The stakes are more valuable than
ever before, and additional money has
been added to the Derby, Oaks, and
Peabody and Montgomery handicaps.
The winners of the two latter races
will also receive a silver cup valued at
$500.
Following is list of the stakes: For
1905, Tennessee Derby, nine furlongs,
value, $4,000; Tennessee Oaks one
mile, value, $4,000. 1904: Memphis
stakes, five furlongs, value 81, 900; Gas
ton Hotel stakes, four furlongs, value,
$4,000; Ardelle stakes, four furlongs,
value, $4,000; Hotel Gayoso stakes, mile,
$1,000: Montgomery handicap, mile and
a sixteenth, $500; Peabody Hotel
handicap, nine furlongs, SO, 900; Tennes-
see Brewing Company, selling stakes,
seven furlongs, $500; Cotton steeple-
chase stakes, about two miles, $2,7O0.

more for schooling than anything else.
Kingfull's surprising improvement will
make him a contender in the race, and
he will be sent to the post to bring
home the big end of the money. Back
Number will also he hard to beat.
One of the Events.
In the second event the real con-
tenders seem to be Welsh Girl and
Oton Clay. The distance may be a
little too short for Welsh Girl, who
likes the mile better to show her true
form. Tribesman has been showing up
exceedingly well in his workouts,
and may cause surprise when the
race is run.
The third will prove the hardest
race of the day. At mile it would
be a cinch for Honolulu, even with
100 pounds up, but at six furlongs it
is doubtful if the old campaigner will
be able to outsprint Queen L., or John
Croker's Dusky Secret. Joe Buckly
also looks good, and in his workouts
shows that he is ready for a hard race.
In the fourth Doc Mayer will do to
pin ones faith to. He was a consistent
performer during the fair meeting, and
with the rest of those in with him he
should show the way home.
The TwO-Yenr-Olds' Race.
The last event for 2-year-olds will
prove intensely interesting, and no
event during the fair meeting was as
we'll carded. John Croker's big two
year-old, Tennessean, who was con-
sidered a most likely candidate for
the Crescent City Derby, but who suf-
fered injury to one of his feet, will
make this a hard race for the rest of
the youngsters. Harry Schultz, good
colt St. Juvenal will also show his
class when he makes the start. Dick
Ripley, Louise Meining and T. G. Scar
boro will also be we'll up in the van in
the run down the stretch and this
four and a half furlong sprint should
be highly interesting.
The conditions and weights for the
races were made by arbitration among
the horsemen and all are satisfied that
they will at least get a fair chance
to win the big end of the money.

aEer Hull Has Had the Track Put
in Prime Shape.
Horse owners at the Savannah track
as we'll as lovers of horse racing in
the city, are enthusiastic over the
prospects of matinee races once a week
during the rest of the winter. The
first of these delightful racing spec
tacles will take place at the track to-
morrow Afternoon, and if the present
weather conditions prevail, the at
tendance will undoubtedly be most sat-
isfactory.
Manager Hull spent most of yester-
day out at the track getting all of
the washed places in shape for to-
morrOw's racing, and he says that
the track is faster now than it ever
was.
The horsemen are busy also, for
there are many things to be done
before the thoroughbreds are put in
shape for racing after the long rest
that they have had. Yesterday morn
ing the track was alive with men and
mounts working briskly in final try
outs. All have had plenty of rest, and
when put on the track they are full
of run, which presages some fast time

Those who desire to lay bet on any
of the horses can do so, for books will
be on as they were during the fair,
and the best prices possible will be
laid. The regulars have gotten on
to the horses here, and will no doubt
give the bookies a hard time of it,
many being anxious to get even for
the heavy losses of the last day of the
meeting during the fair, when every
body seemed to be wrong.
There Will be some hard picking in
to-morrow,s card for the winners In

DIAM 0ND DUST.

Mugey McGraw, manager of the New
York Giants, says in regard to the
New York Club for the season of 1904:
1.-THE New York Club is always will
ing to trade whereby it can strengthen
it's team, or surmisely so. I will say
though that Roger Bresnahan is not
for sale, nor will he be considered for
any trade. He is the best ball play
er in the country and New York wants
him. To show that the New York
Club is willing to spend all kinds of
money to get a championship club,
asked Mr.. Dryfuss if Wagner or
Leach are on the market and then
said to him: If they are, 1 will double
Barrow's offer of $40, 900 for them and
will consider myself lucky to get them
l told Mr.. Dryfuss also that the New
York Club would pay more money than
any other club for player it wanted
and asked him to give me the first
chance" McGraw said that he had
signed a new left handed pitcher,
named Jerry Nops. He also ventured
the information that he had been COM
missioned by Chris Won der Abe, the
old st. Louis magnate, to purchase the
st. Louis National League Club from
Frank de Hass Robinson, who is re-
ported to be willing to sell out his
interests in the club.
A special dispatch from st. Louis
to a New York paper says that Patsy
Donovan, the great out fielder, has
announced his intention of resigning
from the management of the st. Louis
Cardinals, position he has held for
many years and during which time he
has never turned out championship
team. He is also reported to have
been paid the highest salary ever paid
manager. There have been rumors
for several months that the owners of
the club, the Messrs. Robinson, were
displeased with the showing Donovan
made, and decided to let him go, then
it was that Donovan announced his
intention of severing his connection
with the club.
1t looks as though the Cincinnati
Club will be the objective points for
trades. The club has at present twenty
six men under contract and Herman

James j. Hogan of the senior class
has been unanimously elected captain
Of the Yale eleven for the season of
1904. Seventeen votes were cast by
the men who won their "Y.'s" in the
games against Princeton and Harvard.
The only other candidate was Ralph
Kinney. the other Yale tackle, who
was last year on the all-American team.
Yale's new captain has had seven

Phillips Academy, Exeter, where he
captained the eleven in his senior year.
and three at Yale. where he played

star tackle of the country, and his
wonderful line plunging has been the
feature of nearly every game he has
played in. He scored the only touch
down Yale made against Princeton. and
scored two touchdowns in the Harvard
game. He is Is years old, weighs 2O5

The season will open about April 10,

The rumor of consolidation with the
American League was denied tonight
with a vehemence that seemed to set

Harry Won Der Horst declared that
there was absolutely nothing in the
consolidation talk. and the other own
ers said that it was a foolish matter TO
