Pool Emblem Before March 10.
When De Orc Won.

BUFFALO, n. Y, Feb iS.-Alfrede De
ORC has acce-ted the challenge from
Jerome Keogh for the new world
championship pool emblem and con-
test must take place before March a.
forty days from date of challenge.
De ORC won the emblem in the St
Louis tourney. in December. later de-
feating Grant Eby, who had challenged
him. The game with Keogh will prob
ably take place in his Buffalo rooms
Keoghs friends have offered to place
5000 on their favorite at reasonable
odds. De Oro's strong game in the tour
nament, and against Eby, was in his
strength at the finish.
Keogh plays a faster game than Eby
ut the start, but is not of the same
quality d fnisher. De ORC is the
most spectacular pool player in the
world, and his remarkable ability in
combination shots. when the balls are
punched. has brought the spectators to
their feet many times TO cheer the
Cuban wonder In the ST. Louis tour
nament De ORC made barely four IN sses
in fifty shots of this nature, which. no

BROOKLYN HANDICAP
ENTRIES ARE LIGHT

NEW YORK, Feb. 1s-Uncertainty as
to the time Of the running of the Brook
Ign Handicap, it is said among turf
men, was the reason for the cutting of
that race by owners in the matter OF
entries. The report that the Graves
end meeting would be held much earlier
than usual this spring spread among
horsemen, and as result. the owners
of several of the high-class horses Were
slkePticaI regarding their ability to get
theil charges ready for the race.
It takes time and patience to get a
horse Ia shape for d grueling contest at
mile and a quarter so early in the
racing season, and for that reason many
OF the big owners, it is said. refused
to enter their best horses. At that, how
ever, 1t is strong field that viii face
Starter Cassidy in the first really big
race OF the year. and it is safe to pre-
dict that. rain or shine, the usual Brook
Ign Handicap crowd will be on hand
and. the field, judging from the weights
allotted, will be large one.

tuition of other weights than those
which are approved by the A. a. u
rules in the wrestling bouts which are TO
be given under the direction of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania during the early
part of March.
In a letter just received at the local

classes and weights as follows: Light

155; middle hea vyweight, 155 to 115.

said:

glad to hear any suggestions you may

1T is the sentiment here that the in
tercollesiate wrestling should conform

The Columbia men now work under
A A u rules, and are not willing 10
make a change There is even an Inn

all Of the suggestions are made in good

uncertain just when he means.
The name that seems to have great

After Hard Winter on New York Tracks Train
ers Anxious for Good Spring Meeting
E1cre-Stakcs Close on Wednesday,

With the Jockey Clubs decision to
allow the Washington Jockey Club to
begin racing al Benning on March %,
horseneu at the New York tracks are
anxious1y hoping for a cessation of the
extremely cold weather, in order that
they may get some sort of line on
their horses.
-rhe winter has been one of the hard
est for many years, and the tracks at
Gravesend and Sheepshead Bay are
frozen 20 n considerable depth. There
l. not a great deal of snow on either of
these courses. and two weeks of mod
crate weather would place them in CON
dition for slow work. Along the Boule-
ward. where many of the hardy animals
designed for service at the early meet
ings receive part of their preparation,
there is considerable snow and lee, and
from present indications the long
stretch Of public highway may not be
preferred to the tracks for preliminary
galloping this spring
To Train on Boulevard
Last year Fred BurIew, with the
horses of Newton Bennington; William
{ DAILY. with lis own string, and sew
eral other trainers who winter at
Gravesend. used the Boulevard almost
exclusively for working Benning and
hqueduct candidates. a year ago con-
ditions were similar to those prevailing
at present, and IT was feared that few
horses would be ready for their early
engagements, but the spell of fine
weathe~ improved matters, and few
comp tiT.ts We're heard.
These early Eird'' trainers have been
sojourning recently at Hot Springs and
New Orleans, hut in a few days all are
expected to be back at the scene of
their seasons labor. and the present
