f|GnT IN COURT
FOR JOCKEY HICKS

Justice John Proctor Clarke, OF the
Supreme Court, had a case before him
for decision to-day in which the services
of Wallace Hicks. the negro Jockey, are
ut stake.
Hicks is only eighteen years old. He
has been riding for some of the best
known stables and Is looked upon as a
most promising boy" He was born
at Lafourche, near New Orleans. and
his father. Atimore Hicks, still lives
there.
Last March the old colored man in
dentured Wallace to Chester Wright and
Alphonse ]. Plicaue for three years.
Il Is charged by Hamilton Wright. of
on behalf OF Atimcre Hicks, to reclaim
his promising boy" that Wallace Hicks
wa taken out of the State OF Louis
lana in violation OF the law OF the
Bayou State, n that they nave been
employing him N the tracks about New
York.
Ernest v. Reiss, to whom Hamilton
Wright assigned his duty. sets forth
ox-Judge William r. Houston, upon
which Justice Mccall issued the order
70 Plicque, who is In New York. to de-
liver bhe boy to-day or show cause
why he should not.
II was in response to this order that
William Henry Page, tr, appeared be-
Tore Justice Clarke to defend Plicque in
the possession of the much sought
Jockey.
Ex-Judge Houston quoted from the
laws OF Louisiana to show that II pas
Torbidden In that State to execute any
contract OF apprenticeship for a lad OF
more than eighteen, or a girl OF more
than fifteen years of age. and that Wal
lace Hicks was now nineteen years old.
BESIDES. 1t was commended that young
Hicks did not sign the contract, as pro-
vided by the laws of Louisiana, and in
any event. when Plicque took the boy
out Of Louisiana the contract became
Immediately void.
Old Atimore Hicks was to receive $40
a, month for his promising boys ser
vices, but, IL was asserted. he had neve
received any such sum, although his
son 10 said to have earned more tina
$4,000 the past season.
fAr. Page produced in opposition an
alfidavit signed by Wallace Hicks, In
which he declares that Ruis does moi
represent his father that Abraham
Kahn has superseded Reiss as his faith
ers attorney. and that Kahn has re.
cqayed and receipted for the stipulated
" monthly. Decision was reserved.

A. MARSHALL WON'T
PLAY WITH HARVARD
Especial to Tho Evening WORLDLY

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. Nov. 13.-Several
interesting things ave developed In foot
ball practice on Soldiers Field. In the
first place. the playing OF Carroll at
right guard showed pIainly that har-
wards eieven Is not composed of har-
vard men. This, beiux interpreted
means that A. Marshall, ms usually
holds down that position. Is a graduate
OF as well as Il student in
the Harvard Law School. and that. al
though Dartmouth stands a good chance
of winning the contest, he would rather
contribute to such "a catastrophe
Viewed from a Harvard s%tandpoinU
than play against his alma mater and
contribute to her defeat.
In the second place, Randall. who has
been sitting or the bench for the last
three weeks. was by some chance or
caprice on the part of the coaches In
serted Into the varsity lineup. All the
season Harvard's coaches have been
crying for heavy. aggressive. plucky
packs. Randall has all these qualities.
Yet all the season lighter. and sppar-
emily inferior men have been given
preference over him.
The third interesting fact II the play
ing OF Harrison at full back. where he
won his "H' in the Per game last
year. n where ne played n the be
ginning OF the present season.

L. vi hNtNu
~ That name doesn't sound
terrible. does 1t? Still, there
are some folks who say it does.
None other than the sturdy,
rugged, conditioned athletes of Yale
are the ones who say the name De
Witt is synonymous with the word
terrible" On the football field he
may be that. Yale players on teams
Of the past three years have met him
in battle, and their word ought to
amount to something.
1t Is not that this giant Of the
Princeton team, which tomorrow
will line up in battle array against
the eleven OF Old Eli, is a wrecker Of
anatomies. There is something
more to be feared by players on a
football field than the incurrence of
mere physical disability. 1t Is the
humiliation of having an opposing
team score, particularly when on the
result depends the intercollegiate
championship Of the year. And
that's just why Yalesians fear De
Witt.
OF all pigskin warriors, football his
tory has never as yet mentioned a man
who in his palmy days could compare
with this Princeton giant, De Witt.
Goal kicking is his speciality. From
almost my line he can safely drop the
ball over the cnossbars of the goal of an
opposing team. He has done 1t often.
and from marks as far away as the
forty-ive-yard line.

a trick and failed there would be one

CHICAGO TEAM TO

While 1t will be overshadowed by the
Yale and Princeton game, one OF the
most important grldiron struggles of the
year will be decided at West Point to-
morrow. 1t will bring together the
forces of Chicago University and West
Point. 1t is the first time IN many years
that a Western university has sent a
team East, and the result will show to
some extent the rela t merits OF East
ern and Western elevens. Chicago Is
classed as one OF the best teams In the
West. and 1t Is the hope of Coach Stagg
that the Windy Cityites will run up a
bigger score against the cadets than
did Yale several weeks ago. when she
tailed seventeen points. Stage says the
game will no doubt result in several
Western teams making the trip East
