RACE TRACK GOSSIP.
Jockey Cochran Causes Much I'm
pleasant Criticism.

When Ocean Tide won the fourth race at
Aqueduct yesterday there was a general
throwing up of hands by turfmen who said
that. taking her previous race into con-
sideration. she had no license to win. Her
performance was glazing reversal of
form. and did not reflect much credit upon
Harry Cochran, who rode her in her last
performance at Jamaica on October %. On
that occasion Ocean Tide was heavily
played to win. Peter WINNER, her present
owner. had only purchased her at the
Drake sale a. few days previous and when
the race was under way he was amazed
to see the st. George FLY run In shoclzingly
poor form. WINNER was inclined to criti-
else Cochran for poor riding, while those
who critically analysed the race from start
to finish were positive that the jockey did
not do his best. In that race Ocean Tide
was. easily beaten by Irish Witch. St VAL

plungers backing the winner with extreme
liberality. Shaw had the mount on the st.

r. McKeon, through Attorney Milton

failing to use a double-tree of good ma
terial and proper strength on the wagon In

OLD BALL PLAYERS.


In recent interview in Chicago Anso1

the greatest pitchers I ever saw. Buck
Ewing was just about the best man that
wore a catchers mask. He could catch,
throw, bat and had good head on his
shoulders.
Without fiattering myself think, all
things considered, was entitled to premier
position at first. Pfeffer was a grand Sec
ond baseman, and SO was Fred Dunlap.

w. 0. Pollard, a passenger fagman in
the employ of the Southern Railroad Com
pany. was called before Justice Cation in
the police court this morning on the charge
Of stealing a quantity of jewels valued at
several hundred dollars. the property of
Mr. and Mrs. w. M. c. Dodge of 1888 30th
street northwest. Washington. Most of the
articles. which had been recovered last
evening at the home of the defendant, cor
ner of King and Henry streets. were placed
in evidence. The testimony of the officers
who worked up the case and made the ar
rest was heard. and Pollard's case was sent
on to the grand jury. He was arrested last
night about o'clock by Lieut.. Smith and
Officers Roberts and knight at the Southern
depot. on Henry street. Prior to that the
missing articles had been found by these
officers in q trunk at Pollard's home. When
confronted with the charge against him
Pollard at once declared his innocence. He
accounted for the Jewels being In his pos
session by saying that he had found them
In a box at some railroad depot. The ac-
cused was confined at the station house
this morning. not having obtained bail.
The local police department was notified
from Washington some time ago that a
robbery of jewels had been committed
day morning. October "a, from a trunk en-
route from Haymarket. Va. to washington,
via the Southern railway and the Union
Transfer Company. Lieut. Smith went to
work on bhe case and finally obtained q
clue which he'd to the arrest Of Pollard. 1t
Is said the police noticed that the de-
PENDANT. whose salary as fiagman IL not
large. had been spending money. somewhat
freely OF late. They also discovered that
he had at his home some handsome articles
OF tewelry. While Pollard was away yes
terday on his regular trip south the oficers
went to his house and found most Of the
missing jewelry. The list included fourteen
gents scarf pins. long square link gold
chain. with locket and initials wv. NJ. e.

q zodiac scarf pin, q lady's ring set with

two razors. a handsome glass and hair
brush.
Detective Muller of Washington who had
been at work on the case was at the police
station last night when Pollard was brought
in. After thorough investigation the
Washington authorities had reached the
conclusion that the alleged robbery was
committed in Virginia instead of Washing
ton.
Car Robbery Cases
The efforts of officers Smith and Knight,
assisted by several special officers, in the
railroad car robbery cases have resulted in
the recovery of enough stolen articles to
fill an ordinary sized store house. The list
of miscellaneous goods packed in the room
adjoining the mayors Office was more than
doubled this morning by a batch of goods
recovered by Officers Smith and Knight
and Special Officers Harding, Garner and
Tesh. The assortment is extremely varied.
ranging from a couple of automobile tires
down to Shoes coats, tobacco, etc. There
are several hundred pairs of shoes. a box
Of tobacco, a crate Of eggs, two valuable
guns, big batch of sole leather and many
other commodities. A large portion OF the
goods recently secured came, the officers
stated, from the premises of Constable
Mordecai Hurst of Fairfax county, who was
arrested a few days ago on the charge Of
having stolen goods in his possession, and
who. upon representations of railroad Of
ficials, was released upon his own recog-

General Matters.
The voting in the several precincts Of
Alexandria this morning was without note
worthy incident and 1t is expected that the
total vote polled will not be large. The

lows: First ward, Elks' Hall, southeast cor
ner Of Prince and Royal street; second
ward. city hall, North Royal street; third
ward, Odd Fellows Hall, North Columbus

Big Demand for Army-Navy Boxes.

If the demand for boxes for the army
navy foot ball game on November 26 is any
indication, the attendance will be larger
than 1t has ben since the memorable game
of 1901. The boxes were auctioned off in
Philadelphia yesterday morning and drew
good-sized crowd of foot ball enthusiasts,
and at times the competition was keen. The
first box sold was No. 7S,which, after spirited
bidding. was knocked down to j. T. Hoff-
man for S225. This remained the record
price. While few of the boxes went for
as low as $50, nearly all brought from $125
to $135, and about fifteen fell into the hands
of spectators.
The total amount realized was $500, or
about $500 more than last year.

PREPARING FOR BUCKNELL.
Georgetown Expects Hard Game Satur'
day With Team From Pennsylvania.


Head Coach Reilly gave the Georgetown
squad a complete rest yesterday, but this
afternoon hard practice will be resumed In
preparation for Saturdays big game with
Bucknell at Georgetown field
Bucknell has long been noted for turning
out strong teams which have always been
dangerous to even the big four. This years
team is no exception, and succeeded in
twice crossing Cornelrs goal line and hold
ing the speedy Carlisle Indians to a score
of 10 to L.
The fine victory over Carolina has greatly
encouraged the blue and gray forces. but
desperate battle is expected on Saturday
Because of the hard strain the men have
been under in getting into condition for the
Holy Cross and Carolina games it was
feared that they would go stale, but the
players survived the work well and all are
in prime condition except Neill, the big
right guard, who is suffering from a slight
attack of malaria fever The greatest fault
to be found with the local teams work at
Norfolk was the slowness of the line in
charging. During the next three days Drs
Reilly and Owens will pay particular atten-
ton to the forwards and by Saturday the
graduate coaches expect to see their
charges putting up better defense

Yale Must Score in Quick Time.

Not for moment were the Yale stu
dents permitted to see the varsity eleven
at practice yesterday at New Haven. For
almost two hours the team and the scrubs
worked secretly. 1t Is learned that the
major part of the drill was on offense. in
which play the coaches deem the team def
Client, and that the days work was satisfac-
tory in this respect. Yale's new plays
were also tried. They are said to be sim
pie and to depend more on speed and force
than on trick features
The coaches have told the players that
Browns defense in the first fifteen min
utes of Saturdays game was as nothing
compared with what Princeton will do in
opposition to Yale next Saturday, and that
unless the Yale men score in quick time
they will not win.
When the varsity team appeared after
practice 1t was seen that Capt. Hogan had
a big bruise on his face, the result of much
tackles back" playing. and that Boomer
Kinney and Trip also bore evidence Of
having had hard afternoon. Bloomer is
being handled with unusual care because
his shoulder still is troublesome, and he
may be compelled to leave the Princeton
game early. Kineon, his understudy, is
considered his equal under the circum-
stances. Shevlin is on the hospital list,
with a badly wrenched knee. and he did
not don a uniform. Hare was his sub
stitute.
1t is practically settled that, barring ac-
cident. Owsley will go in against Prince
ton at full back. HOyt at left half back
and s. F. B. Morse at right half back.
Owsley has been crippled for week, but

WREsTLERs BUSY.
Huseman-Tyrrell Match Stirs UP the
Local Colony.

The lightweight wrestling bout on Satur-
day night at the Washington Light Infan-
try ArmOry between Frank Huseman and
Harvey Tyrrell for the championship of the
south, has stirred up the other wrestlers of
the city, Huseman said this morning that
if he succeeded in throwing Tyrrell he
would challenge Rob Roy Mackey. who
claims the welter-weight championship of
the south, and IL he downs Mackey he will
challenge Joe Grant, the middle-weight
champion of the south, to a handicap
match This is an ambitious program, but
it is liable to be carried out by Tyrreu in
stead Of Huseman. Tyrrell Is working hard.
and those who have seen him on the mat
in the past few days have been surprised to
note the improvement In his style He mas
the weight on Huseman, and it will only be
necessary for him to have command of the
finer points of the game to win the match
Leo Burlow Of Newark has challenged the
winner. He is a crack l33-pound man, who
has won many matches against larger oppo-
nents, and would be worthy antagonist
for either of the Washington mat artists.
AS an additional attraction it is proposed
to pull off as preliminaries to the Huseman-
Tyrrell match the preliminaries for the
feather-weight wrestling championship OF
the south. Four candidates have already
appeared and more are expected to send IN
their entries this week. The finals in the
feather weight class will be decided on No
vemher Is at the opening of the Rock
Spring Club as preliminary to the twelve
round boxing exhibition between Kid Hen
ming and Tommy Love- which will be the
star feature of the entertainment offered
the members of the club on that night.
Tennis Ranking Committee at Work.

Club, the national champion in both SIN

intercollegiate champion, and Harry F. Al

bers of the committee last year with Beals
C. Wright of Boston. That all of the COM
mittee this year are New Workers has been
the cause Of considerable surprise among the
tennis following. 1t is reported. however.
that much assistance was given to the
committee from Boston, and that the OFF,
cial announcement Of the rankings OF the

Tigers Resting at Atlantic City.

After Saturdays strenuous foot ball work
at West Point although the Princeton team
came out of the struggle in excellent ply
steal condition, the tiger coaches felt that
/. would be prudent to give the men short
rest and have accordingly sent them down
to Atlantic City. The team is approaching
a stage In its training that marks on the
one hand the greatest possible physical en-
DURANGO and on the other a likelihood to
lose this endurance.
The wisdom of light work on the eve OF
the Yale game was shown conclusively In a
similar course which was taken with last
years team. 1t is probable that during the
days that remain the work will be directed
chiefly toward the correction of faulty tech
meal work.
The defense will undoubtedly require a
good deal of improvement in order to make
permanent the clever qualities 1t showed
in the second half played against the army.
This however is but another way of saying
that the glazing fault which now remains
is tendency toward inconsistent work. II
any of the temporary apathy which showed
upon certain occasions In the last two
games should appear when the blue Is faced
it would prove costly.
The students are holding frequent mass
meetings to practice foot ball songs and
arouse Princeton's proverbial college spir-
it," Enthusiasm runs high and the air Is
tense with the coming excitement. This
struggle will take place between two OF the
most evenly matched teams that have met
| on a princeton gridiron for years. If
| Princeton spirit can win the victory will be

will probably be about 191 pounds and that

A friend who speaks for Judge Par ler says that the statement that the opinions of the judge are not so well known as are those of some other can didates for the democratic nomination is, of course, true Judge Parker's po- sition as member and the chief of one of the greatest courts in the coun- try has debarred him from all political activity. But, at the same time, Judge Parker's sound, conservative views on all the questions and interests underly- ing the stability of the country are well known to the Judiciary and bar of the entire nation. Judge Parker was trained in the Tilden school of politics. Ills theories of government are precise ly the same as those of the illustrious democrat who was cheated out of the presidency.

PRETTY BIG CATFISH.

A young correspondent of mine liv- ing in Elizabeth, a small town on the Monongahela river above Pittsburg, sends me the following fish story, that can vouch for as being tue or he would not have given it to me.
 About two weeks ago the stern wheel steamer Diamond was passing up the rive one afternoon, when some men who were at work on a coal tp- pie on the shore noticed an object floating in the wake of the boat that seemed to be alive. Thinking that it might be a, deckhand that had fallen overheard they took slxiff and rowed out for it, and found it to be a big mud codfish that had been struck by one of the wheel buckets and had only been stunned. They caught it after some trouble and towed it as- hore. 1t measured 5 feet in length, but only weighed 54 pounds.
 This is the largest fish that has ev- CT been taken in that river, and prop ably came up from the lower Missis- sippi thought its weight was rath- CT smll for its size, though. I have tken them out of the Colorado river in Texas that were as long as this one was, but mine would weigh nearer 100 pounds.

Senator German, whose name IS heard in connection with the presiden- cy as often as any other of the sev- eraI mentioned, denies having entered into a combination against Parker. He saws: sThe persistency and regularity with which statements of this char acter have recently appeared would seem to indicate a studied desire to misrepregent me- The fact is" he adds, s4that all the conferences have attended have related solely to the proper organization of the convention, which it is the duty of members of the national committee to consider. So far as I am concerned have not been a party to any arrangement for effect ing a combination to obstruct the eff forts of any candidate for the nonnin- ation. The Maryland delegates have not yet determined the course they will pursue In regard to the candl- dates at St Louis. and would prob ably not reach any conclusion until after their arrival at St Louis, and after an opportunity to confer with the delegates from other states.'

President Roosevelt has lately enter tained at the White House some of the wealthiest men of the country. He has been in the White House for nearly three years, but never before has he thought it worth while to invite such men as George Gould to dine with him. He had him here the other day for over two hours in close conference after dinner. says our Washington cor respondent. MT Gould is only one of many of the railroad and other mag mates of the country the president has been in close confab with of late It can only mean one thing; and that is that the president has concluded that it is time to call in the men who fur nish the sinews of war in political campaign and surrender to them by assuring them that they have nothing to fear from him and that he will not in any way interfere with their grart- If it does not mean that, what does it mean?

NOVEL ROUTES TO ST. LOUIS.

To customers there are ways of get ting to St. Louis which will be pleas antcr experiences than many they will have at the great show itself. For in- stance, Fasteners may go by rail to Pittsburg, where they may take the steamboat on the Ohio, and go 45O miles to Cincinnati, beautiful ride all the way and very good boats. At Cincinnati change to another larger boat and go on down the Ohio about 55O miles to it's mouth at Cairo. here the boat goes out into the Mississippi, and runs north for 1S0 miles to St. Louis. The trip can be made in six days, or week, and it will give the traveller not only great delight, but much instruction not to be secured by any other means. What 1t will cost we cannot say, as no doubt special rates will be made to encourage travel that way. Later in the summer the Ohio between Pittsburg and Cincins naH is not reliable owing to the lack of water, but there is always plenty from Cincinnati around.
 Another water trip, not quite So in- teresting as the rivers, because it is on wider waters, is to go by the Great Lakes, starting from the tourists near est point as far east as Lake Ontario extends and going through the chain to Duluth. There take train for St. Paul. and there take Mississippi boat down to St. Louis through the most pie turesque portion of the mighty river. This will require week or more. but 1t will be time well spent.
 Still another and all water route for those living along the Atlantic coast will be to take a steamer for New Or leans, a fine sea trip of five or six days and transferring at New Orleans to boat for St. Louis, go up the Mis- sissippi for 1,20o miles to destination. This is the longest way of the three, and the least desirable for those who do not love the sea. 1t is also the most expensive in time and money.
 All roads in 1904 lead to St Louis, as in old times they led to Rome.--Outing.
