accomplished what he tried for. Wal
thour was too much taken by surprise
to catch him.
Then the partners in the five teams
named who were not then on the track
made their complaint and declared
their intention of withdrawing. Their
partners then riding left the track and
all ten riders Immediately surrounded
the officials and demanded that the lost
distance be restored to them.
Walthour, as spokesman for the dis
satisfied riders. argued that Stol had
not properly relieved Vanderstuyft and
that the lap was gained unfairly.
P. T. Powers, promoter of the race,
told Walthour and the others that they
had no right to leave the track as they
had done, either by the National Cy-
cling rules or the special contracts
which they made with the manage
ment. He concluded:
You can go back on the track or not
Take your choice"
After a conference between President
Batchelder of the National Cycling
Association and r. S. Kelcey, chair
man of the Board of Control of the
association, Walthour and the nine
other riders who withdrew from the
race were indefinitely suspended
The case will not be disposed of un-
I'LL the regular IN req
ruary. Until that time they cannot
ride on any track in the United States.
Waithour has engaged to ride in Eu-
rope in the early spring, but If the
suspension is not lifted he will not be
allowed 20 ride on any track in the
world nor will any of the other sus-
pended men.
When Manager Pollock ordered the
ten men who had quit the race to leave
and the police reserves were sum-
moned. The excitement was over
when they arrived.
The garden was thrown into an up
roar during the trouble, and at one
time there was a series of fist en-
counters all around the oval. Joseph
L. Sullivan, handler for keegan, was
given a severe beating.
Mr.. Powers later issued orders that
none of the dissatisfied men nor their
trainers nor handlers was to be ad-
mitted to the garden again.
Some time later Walthour and Nc
Lean returned and had a talk with
Powers. Walthour afterward said he
asked Powers for $500, which he con-
sidered due him for the motor-pacsd
race on Saturday night and his work
so far this week and that Powers had
referred him to an attorney.
Mclean Salu ne was In the same
boat" He added he had engaged a
lawyer, whom he had instructed to at
tach the gate receipts at once
Denial was made by the management
that there had been any error in the
scorers box as claimed by the riders
who left the track.
The two leading teams. Vanderstuyft
and Stol and Root and Dorlon, had
covered 1889 miles laps at l o'clock
this morning. No change had occurred
UP to that hour in the relative positions
of the twelve teams. The record for
this hour is 1443 miles laps

Fitzgerald Defeats sIelon.

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 7.-WilIie
Fitzgerald of Brooklyn knocked out
Otto Sieloff of Chicago tonight in the
seventh round Of what was to have
been a ten-round bout. Four-ounce
gloves were used. 1t was all Fitzger-
aids fight from the start of the sec
ond round, in which he knocked Sic
loft down twice. From that time
Fitzgerald played with his man to
give the crowd a longer fight, al
though he took a number of wild
swings made by Sieloff and some hard
blows landed on his face, which he
did not seem to mind. The fight was
in the Auditorium Rink before a large
crowd. A hard left swing on the
head finished the fight.

STANFORD LOSES LANIGAN.
Famous Coach Is Unable to Handle
the Cardinal Baseball Nine.

STAMFORD UNIVERSITY, Dec. Z.
James flanagan, Stanfords successful
graduate coach, will not accept the
position Of coach for the baseball
team this spring. The loss is a heavy
one, as flanagan is as great a baseball
trainer as he is football expert and
he had been counted on to help win
this years baseball series for Stan
ford. Pressure of work is Lanagan's
excuse. The gist of the matter prob
ably is that if flanagan came for base
ball this year he could not come for
football next, and so baseball inter-
ests were sacrificed for football
1t is quite probable that the posi-
ton of baseball coach will be given
to some old Stanford player. The
idea of graduate coaching in every
line of athletics is popular one at
Stanford and so long as good coaches
can be had who are graduates pro-
fessional men will not be given posi-
tons

SEVERAL PROPERTIES NOW OPERATING

ready developments are being vigor-

properties, and forces are being rap
idly increased all over the district.
At the Iron Springs Mining &
Milling company's property the
development work so far has been
more than satisfactory and the mines
are being opened up in splendid
shape and fine bodies of ore have
been exposed.
Tuesday evening Messrs. Fred
Powell and ]. G. Sutherland. who
have been in the employ of the COM
pany for some time past, arrived in
the city direct from the camp. In
conversation with the SIGNAL reporter
the gentlemen gave out some pleas

work is confined to sinking the shaft
on the Iron Chief which is now
down 160 feet, about IS feet OF which
passes through fine body of ore.
Monday the company began operat-

The main tunnel is now in about 500

force of men working on a contract,

the crosscut tunnel which is being

the Independence vein, which, on it's
