BADGERS CLAIM CHAMPIONSHIP

Fancy Figuring Reported from the Wilds
OF Wisconsin.
Madison. Wis, May 25.-The Univer-
stty Of Wisconsin baseball team claims the
title Of champion Of tho ''big nine" west
ern college conference This Is ons the
basis OF number OF games played with the
strongest teams Of the 'tbig nine" rather
than on the basis Of percentages, for
three teams-Iowa, Indiana and Illinois
lead Wisconsin In the percentage coll
umn. Iowa and Indiana played and won
each one championship game and have a
percentage Of 1000. while Illinois played
ten games and won eight, having q per-
centage Of 300. Wisconsin played eight
games and won six, having a percentage
Of .760, according to the official paper OF
the university.
The badgers, however, claim that col
lege championships are figured on the
basis Of number Of games played with the
strongest teams, and on this basis they
say they are entitled to the championship.
Illinois defeated the badgers once and was
defeated by them once, making an even
thing with Wisconsin. The badgers say
the Illinois fattened her percentage col
umn by defeating easy teams, like North
western and Minnesota, and therefore the
percentages do not mean SO much.
The fact is also true that the badgers
did some Of the "fattening'' as well, TAX
ing two easy games from the weak "bte
nine" team Of Purdue university. -

BROOKLYN Handicap
Grand Struggle Promised-Irish Lad
to Battle With the Other Kings Of
the Thorobred World-The Horses
and Their Owners.

Tomorrow afternoon at the Gravesend
race course Of the Brooklyn Jockey club
Will be run what promises to be one Of
the grandest and most thrilling races OF
modern turf history. It is the eighteenth
renewal Of the Brooklyn handicap, at a
mile and q quarter, for 3year-olds and
upward. A stake of $4,000 guaranteed
value is offered. To the winner will NOT
only go the victor's share, $4,000, but
everlasting glory and fame.
Never In seventeen years OF history has
Brooklyn handicap been fraught with
such antepost uncertainty. From present
prospects, at least twenty Of the very
flower Of the equine kingdom will face
Starter Fitzgerald at the barrier, the
majority of which have shown public
form so good that each seems to have an
equal chance to carry off the winners end
of the $4,000 purse. That a new time rec
ord for the race will be hung up Is not
beyond reasonable exectation. and so
close do the various probable starters fig
ure that repetition Of the sensational
Dry Monopole-Blue Wing-Hidalgo finish
that made the first running Of the event
famous-is far from an improbability.
A glance at the list of eligibles and
probable starters indicates what great
race the Brooklyn will be. In It are all
the kings and queens of the handicap d.
vision and the cream Of the 3-year-olds.
Top weight naturally fell to McChesney,
the acknowledged champion Of last year.

In a race, grueling from start to IN

famous task assigned him and If he wins
he will more than have earned his title Of
champion. It will practically be McChes-
ney's first start Of the year, Mr.. Smathers
not caring to take chance with him on
the hills at Westchester. In his work,
however, McChesney has done all that Mr..
Smathers asked Of him and has done that

and Dick Bernard among the eligibles but
neither Is likely to start.
