Shot Putter. style of hurdling. Clapp, of Yale, also made this time. Moloney, the maroon athlete who proved to be tower of strength for the Chicago university in the confer ence and dual meets, did the high hurdles in o:15 2-5 and the low hurdles in "A fat Moloney seems to many critics to be without an equal in the low hurdles, not barring any athlete in the country. Moloney, bet ter than any other athlete should be the logical successor to Kraenzlein in the athletic Armament.
 a At the Canadian and American championships, Walsh, New York A. c. athlete, showed that the Unit ed States had 8 sprinter about as good as Duffey, the Georgetown uni versity star. He made the 100 yards at Montreal in even time and around turn did the -22O yards in 0:21 3-5, which is said to be the fastest per formance of any athlete at the dis tance and around tura. The critics, however, say that the turn at Mon- treal's track, which has a 130-yard straightaway, was not nearly so hard < to negotiate as was the turn made by Wefers at quarter-mile track, when 7 he made the distance in a fifth of second more.
 This discussion recalls how Wefers, back in 1896, ran what he supposed to be a 220-yard race at Toronto around turn, and covered himself with glory by breasting the tape in O:21. flat. But the critics were sur prised to learn. that the civil en- gineer who measured the track said the course was two feet short. The record. of course, did not count, but to this day the Canadian followers of athletics will insist that Wefers was entitled to that record Wefers himself thought it was one of his most remarkable performances. Walsh made his marks in September, when he was in fine physical condi- ltion, and is entitled to great consid- ,eration. No other country in tho world can show such an array of sprinters as Walsh, Duffey Shick, .Moulton, Eaton, Blair and others, to say nothing of Lightner, of Harvard, whose o:21 3-5 flat in the intercol- legiate for the 22o-yard dash proves him to be real champion.

Like the distance man of the University of Chicago, Kalamatino, the Russian student, Kellogg is bundle of energy, and finds athletics very convenient safety valve for keeping himself from becoming physically decrepit on ac- count of hard study. Kalamatino re- gently found himself breaking down under the strain of study, and start ed out to trough it'' in the wilds of wooded and mining country-north- ern Michigan. He got the health that was necessary, but did not find much money, and rather than tell his position, walked 300 miles to be in time for the first indoor gymnasium athletic trial of athletes at his uni versity With such spirit among the college athletes who require some thing more than speed to win their athletic contests, it is no wonder that the American athlete shows his superiority overs the European ath- lete.
 During the year the two-mile rec ord for relay teams was broken by the University of Pennsylvania run ners, who reduced it to s:00 4-5. Smith, Klaer, Gill and Orton were the athletes who made this mark. 1t will be recalled that the mark was set notwithstanding adverse wealth CT conditions.

SPORTING NEWS OF THE WORLD
AMERICAN LEAGUE TRIUMPH.
Peace Restored on the Terms Dictated .,. By Johnson.

By Johnson.
 The declaration of peace in the base ball world at Cincinnati on Saturday was a signal triumph for the American league. Ban Johnson practically dic- tated the terms of settlement. The American league insisted from the start that there should be no twelve club circuit. amalgamating the rival or ganizations and thereby protecting the tottering clubs in the old National league. The American league insisted that the new club in New York should remain intact, despite the opposition of John 1T. Brush. and as Johnson would not budge an inch on this proposition the National league had to give in.
 But it was on the player question that the American league swept the decks, and incidentally Brush's New York club received couple of blows in the solar plexus. rush and McGraW had signed George Davis and Norman Elberfeld, who were both under con- tract to American league clubs. John son laid down the law at the confer ence on Saturday, with the result that Brush will have to play ball without the services of Delehanty, Davis and Elberfield, and possibly Warner. But as a partial sop Brush will be allowed to keep Matthewson, Bowerman, Tay- Tor, Miller and Mertes, all of whom jumped American league contracts, but who were not wanted by that organiza- ton.
 Tn the case of ThIrd Baseman Leach, who signed to play with the New York Americans, the American league would not surrender him to Pfttsburg unless Dreyfuss had turned over Shortstop Conroy. The fact that Keeler was kept away from the Brooklyns was an- other triumph for Johnson & Go. as Eb- bets had set up claim that Keeler was bound to Brooklyn by a two years con- tract. N

NTH 1HE WRESTLERS.
Reserved Seats For Parr-Doug- las Match on Sale To-Moprow.

gEverything Points to a Big House
 Douglass Now On His Way to This
 City-Parr will Be Here Wednes-
 day-Jenkins Has Forwarded the
 Balance of $250 to Back Douglass
 Against Parr
 The advance sale of tickets for the Jim Parr and Bud Douglass wrestling contest will begin tomorrow morning at Towqe's sporting goods store on cen ter street. From present appearances lit will be the biggest advance sale of seats for any sporting event ever held in this city. There have been 8 few complains because the prices were made 50 cents, 75 cents, $1 and $1.50, but when you take into consideration l that the biggest guarantee that has ever been posted is back of this match l you can readily see the necessity of the iprices. And at that they are not too high. The lowest price charged to a Eboxing exhibition is $1 and people who have put up that price have many times failed to get good run for their money. The champion of England and the champion of Australia will face each other on the mat. There is big incentive for Parr to win, because he can then throw down the gauntlet to Tom Jenkins once more. There is an incentive for Douglass to win, too, because he will shelve Parr as far as Jenkins is concerned and will himself become a fixture in the champion class.
 Right here it might be just as we'll to say that Bud Douglass is Bud Doug llass. The Trinity club is com iposed of members who want nothing lbut the best and perhaps in few days sthere may be something offered to one of our local wrestlers which will be of some value if he accepts. Douglass will be here to-day, or at the latest to- morrow morning, and any person who doubts his identity can interview him. He is coming here to win. too. if possi- ble, and Tom Jenkins writes in letter that there is no man in this country who can throw Douglass in mixed Ematch. Jenkins says that Parr refused Ito. meet Douglass befGre in a mixed match and that Douglass finally con tsented to take him on at straight catch las-catch- This match was bid for lby the Cleveland club and the Trinity Ic1ub and Parr accepted the Trinity club because he would wrestle no more in Cleveland, which is Jenkins's home town. The Trinity club does not want Ed Atherton just at present and the next match after this one will show the kind of wrestlers looked for.
