Personal Comment on Men and
Things in the Field of Sports

but II IS hardly propably that the foxy
magnate VIII take any chances with
the climate OF the Cuban capital just
before the beginning of the season.
Chicago landlords were hard hit by
the victory of Colonel Van on Satur-
day. when the last three horses in the
race az San Francisco were wired in as
the money horses. and the real winners
were left out. The handbOoks were
supplied by an information distributing
bureau. and paid of without suspicion.
The big pOOITOOm on the Santa lee Just
outside OF Chicago paid out some
money, but became suspicious because
OF the heavy play and held up the rest
OF the bets until Monday, by which
time the real winners were known. The
81. Asaph poolroOm was also hard hit
by the trick.
II is asserted that there is no truth
in the report that the Fort Erie and
Detroit tracks are To be Outlawed by
the Eastern Jockey Club The conflict
OF dates between Highland Park and
Kenilworth started the story.
Tommy Ryan is not breaking his neck
rushing TO the fore to deny that he
openly admitted 20 a newspaper man
that he deliberately faxed his bout with
Jack Root in Philadelphia. Ryan gave
a severe jolt 10 the game when he
pulled off that trick. and he should
never be allowed TO spar again before
any club
Better go slow about adopting that
suggestion of Walter Camp 10 make
the necessary distance in football for
three downs ten yards. DR.. Reilly has
well pointed out that such q radical
change should not be made without
changing some of the other rules.

JACK TARS WON IN SNOW

tice Resumed Tomorrow.

At meeting OF the representatives, of
the teams held this morning Il was def
niteiy decided to play the Army-Navy
game at American League Park on the
afternoon of the day after Christmas.
The same which was played on last
Saturday in nearly a foot of snow was
such a poor exhibition from a football
standpoint that both teams are most
anxious 10 have return game, which
can be decided on merits.
Ever since the contest, which was woa
by the Navy, both teams have kept in
condition. although not practiclng regu-
larly for the Christmas contest.
Large Crowd Expected.
The management of both teams is
most sanguiae OF the success of the af-
fair. as over 800 attended Saturday,
when the conditions were the worst in
which a game was ever played in this
city. Navy won in simply Il pushing
match, the only score being made in the
final tive minutes of play. All arrange
ments will be the same as last Satur-
day. Although the time of the starting
of the contest has not been decided
upon, IL viii probably be at 2:S0 o'clock.
This viii be the first holiday gridirOn
game that Washington has had this
year as the eanceling of the Lehigh-
Georgetown game robbed the enthusi-
asts OF this city who are engaged dur
ing the day from seeing their favorte
sport. Regular daily practice for both
teams viii be resumed tomorrow, and
every effort will be made by the sailors
and soldiers TO put finished elevens ON

they took their places after the rest.

players We're going 20 win IN spite of
The bad showing in the first half, and
they did. There was never "A cleaner or
