CHARTER OAK AND OTHER
 TRACKS GET THEIR DATES

The stewards of the Grand Circuit met Thursday at the Waldorf-Astoria and settled the matter of harness rae. ing dates for the current year. D. J. Campau president of the board of stewards. called the meeting to order at noon. and in an hour the business was finished. It was the shortest and che of the post harmonious meetings in the history of the association.
 All the associations were represent ed except Cleveland. which dropped out last year owing to the restrictions on pool selling. Syracuse is admitted on the dates asked for. Brighton Beach is not in line this year. and the Empire meeting is only scheduled for one week. It had been hinted that the ,meeting in New York might include the time formerly allotted to both tracks. Detroit profits by the withdrawal of Cleveland and gets two weeks. This will give horsemen three weeks of rae ing without shifting except to cross the Dctroit river. as Windsor. Ont. gives a meeting one week in advance of thu opening of the Grand Circuit at De- troit. -
 George Ioyt of Binghamton and Robert Newton of Dodgevilie. III. have been selected one as residing judge and tlIe other as starting judge through the circuit. other appointments for spe- cial officers may he made later

WRESTLING.
WANTED TO TACKLE
 SOME OF THE LAPS

New York, Jan 14-Max Muller, the welterweight wrestler, mas challenged llagashi, the jiu-jitsu exponent, who is appearing at the Orpheum theater. Brooklyn, this week. There seems to be some misunderstanding between the house management and the lecturer for the Iaps. M Moria, who elucidates the jiu-jitsu, blandly tells the audience that anyone is welcome to come for ward and take a try at the Japanese lads. that you may be put to sleep by the boys, but if they do they will en- deavor to revive you, but if that is an impossibility they will call carriage.
 Muller. who attended the perform ance at the Orpheum Wednesday even ing. went forward with the intention of trying his skill. The lecturer asked hin if he were ready to go on. Muller replied that he was not. but would al~ pear in costume the following night. When the American wrestler put in an appearance Thursday MT Williams refused to let the bout take place. claiming that he was giving il yaude- vile show and not an exhibition Of wrestling. .,
 Miller is very anxious to meet the JapS and suggested that they meet in d private bout in some hall. This was readily agreed to.
 The managers of the iiu-jitsu wrest~ lerS have drawn up articles of agree ment. stipulating that they will not be responsible for any broken bones or in. .iuries to Muller
 That the jiu-jitsu is strenuous is demonstrated by the fact that four times this week arms have been broken by the wrestlers. Yesterday, as one of tine performers was thrown over the shoulder of another, he lay on the floor stunned. and was lifted to his feet by his opponent, who gave him push in the ribs. when they proceeded with their work @

we told him to get busy. He went to the outfield for while and did fair ly we'll catching fungoes. Then he came in and asked to pitch to us in practice. We hadn't any of us been hitting much for week and were glad of a chance to bat the ball lit tie in practice from new pitcher
 Big Delehanty made two or three swings at the twisters the stranger served up to him and then he turned around to me: Nap. that fellows q ringer he said. We all laughed at Del's remark, but the laugh didn't lasr. i was as helpless before him that day as I am nowadays before Jack Cnesbros spit ball. when it is working right. Dick Cooley was mad all over because he couldn't hit the new fangled curves.
 "Finally we got behind the man and watched in open -mouthed wonder the Zlg-zag. round-the-corner, hide-and- seek curves he pitched against the grandstand. It was hard to tell whether you were on a ball field or :n the delirium tremens ward of an inebriate hospital
 "'What do you do for living" asked him in amazement.
 .''Oh. most anything he said. Anything that will earn me bread and butter and place to sleep. Help load ships, sweep cr6ssings-any- thing
 Wouldn't you like to earn $500 or S6OO month";
 "'Oh, don't know he replied care lessly Could I?'
 "'You certainly could if you can pitch like that in game. Come out here this afternoon and I'll introduce you to Manager Shettsline.' rs
 "He was there at the appointed time and showed Shetts his paces. Bernard. Donahue and the other pitch. CTS looked on him with vOiceless as- tonishment. He was Rube Waddell, a Cy Young. a John Clarkson, a Charles Radburn. an Eddie Beaten and q Clark Griffith all combined in one.
 "Shettsline told him to come to the Offce next day ana slgn contract That night we all had dreams of the pennant and of the consternation the new pitchers debut would create in the ranks of the other clubs.
 But we never saw the fellow again. He disappeared as suddenly as he appeared and as completely as if he had jumped into the muddy wa. ters of the Schuylkill. Detectives hired by the club hunted high and low for him. and we even; advertised in the papers. but we got no trace of him whatever.
 And never Before and never since have I seen such marvellous exhibi. tion of masterful pitching as that un' known man in shirt sleeves and over alls gave that day in the presence of the most famous batting team ever organized"

He put Goodwin down in the fourth. fifth and eighth, but the latter huSged and stalled. and in each case avoided q knockout. The Kid fought like q fiend every moment he was in the ring. and Jack Sheehan, the referee. was al most exhausted from tearing the meh apart.

TUCKER ON TRIAL.
Clothing Worn by Mabel Page
 Exhibited In Court.
EXPERT BLOOD ANALYST TESTIFIES
Harvard Professor, Principal Wit. ness. Told of Microscopic Exam inatiOns-Dcntist Heard on
 Important Points.

; CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Jan. IA Blood stained exhibits, including the cloth Ing worn by the woman and the de- fendant on the day that Mabel Page was murdered and the knife with which the prosecution claims the killing was
 done, figured in the trial here of Charles L. Tucker. accused of the crime.
 Professor F. $. Wood of Harvard university, an expert blood analyst. was the principal witness. He testified that human blood had been found on
 Fuckers overcoat and trousers as well as on the knife with which the wounds on Miss Pages body could, he said, have been made. Arterial blood was found on the overcoat and knife only.
 A plaster cast of Fuckers teeth was introduced, and the dentist by whom
 it was made testified that the cast ft- ted indentatiors in a knife sheath
 owned by the defendant.
 Professor Wood was on the stand
 for four hours and half explaining III uCtull lbC Illitl lOsCOplC he had made.
 Dr. John W. Pomfret. dentist of West Newton, taking the stand was
 questioned by Attorney General Par ker. This is the first time during the trial that the attorney general has talk en an active part in questioning any witness.
 Dr. Pomfret stated that at the re- quest of the state police he had taken
 an impression of Fuckers teeth. He found the impressions to conform with tooth marks on the knife sheath al legged by the government to have been held between the teeth by the murderer while he was stabbing Miss Page Dr. Pomfret. on cross examination. said that the impressions on the knife
 sheath might have been made two
 years ago.
 Professor Wood will be recalled by the defense.
 It is quite probable that the prosec,l- tion will rest today. although the de. fense may not open until Monday.
