NEW YORK. November 4.-John w. Nor

8 4-5 seconds. and Morton was less than
a foot behind.
Without a doubt the handsome English
man is the fastest sprinter that this coun-

and although Morton has not equaled the
Americans time of 8 3-5 for the one hun
dred, he defeated him in majority of the
races while Duffy was abroad In fact,

Hockey Practice

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BOSTON. November 4.-Intercollegiate te
hockey practice is beginning among the
colleges comprising the league. These are
Yale, Princeton, Harvard Columbia and
Brown.
Harvard last year won the championship
OF the intercollegiate association for the
third time, taking possession of the cup Of

Yale was second, Columbia third and
Princeton fourth. Harvard has the best
advantages for outdoor practice. which is
by all means the best for developing a
hardy team.
Columbia, though right in the city with
the st. Nicholas Rink, in which the games
are played, benefits little because of irreg-
ular hours of practice.
This year, however there will he de-
cided change when once matters are fairly
settled. 1t is proposed by Kenneth NJ.

ITHACA, N. Y, November 4.-In view of
the fact that recent wars have conclusively
demonstrated that soldier who cannot
swim is so much dead timber in the COM
nand, and that the United States now re-
fuses to graduate from West Point or An

not previously passed an examination In

This order, just issued by Capt. Frank A.
Barton commandant of the corps of ca
dets of Cornell University, practically makes
swimming requirement for graduation
from Cornell. Military drill is required of
all male students in four-year courses.
The rule is. thus far reaching in its ef-
fects and makes Cornell the only college
in the country to require swimming test

Whist Trophy Play

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, November 4.-At the Octo-
Der meeting Of the directors of the Metro
politan Whist Association, just held,
number of radical changes were decided up
on in regard to the trophy play of the COM
ing season The Faber trophy will, as soon
as the Woman's Club of Brooklyn wins 1t
once more. become the permanent property
of that organization. AS soon as that Is
a "fait accompli' another trophy, the gift
of Mrs. c. T. Whittier Of the Woman 8
Club of Jersey City will be put into compe-
tition. The trophy will become 1.-The per-
manent property of the club whose team
shall win it the greatest number of times
during the season of 1866. There will be
no tournament attached to this series Of
contests, has been the custom in the
two Faber trophies Each team will meet
the others in the order of challenges, and
az given date not yet decided upon the
team which has scored the greatest number
of wins will own the trophy, and another
will be put in play next year.
AS this method of play does away with
the tournament for teams of four which
has always been a feature of the competi-
ton for the two Faber trophies. it was de-
cided that tournament for teams of four,
entirely independent of other contests,
should be held at some time during the
coming season, the date to be decided upon
by the executive committee. Any number
OF teams may enter this contest provided
that each member of such team belongs to
the same club. Miss Martha Campbell, first
vice president of the association, has offered
four cups to go as individual prizes to the
winners in this contest. At the spring meet
ing of the association it was decided that
ell clubs should in the future send teams
of eight only to the contests for the metro
politan trophy. 1t was also resolved to
change the constitution of the association
so that In the future clubs composed of
eight players should be admitted to the

PHILADELPHIA, November 4-Bdse ball
fans believe that the strain of winning the
pennant, coming so close before the post
season games, has had something to do
with the result of the worlds championship
though it does not seem probable to New
Workers that Philadelphia could have won
under any circumstances. Secretary Knowles
and McGraw will take the members of the
New York team who are still in the city
down TO Atlantic City for holiday. Dele
cations from other New York, Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey clubs and from Phil
adelphia organizations are expected to rem

President Ban Johnson OF the American
League has come out in favor of a 1fo game
schedule for next season. No reform which
the leaders of base ball could bring about
would be more popular than reduction in
the length of the playing season. AS it is
now, the first month or two of the season
is sure to furnish a preponderance of bad
weather, which causes a useless number of
postponements which pile up at the end
of the season and often change the result
of the pennant race, as many teams which
approach the end of the season with an ap-
parently good chance for the pennant lose
out because their pitchers cannot stand the
strain which piled up postponed games put
upon them. n shorter season would please
players and spectators alike. and not take
away greatly from the profits of the own
ers. for the season before May Is Is not
conducive to large gate receipts, though the
expenses go on just the same.
OF all of the teams which are getting an
early start in retaining players for next
year Cincinnati is the most prolific of ru-
mors. The one which most closely concerns
eastern followers of the game is that Roger
Bresnahan is being traded from the Giants

firmed, but is also undenied and continues
II exist with great persistence. After his
work in the post season series the local
fans would regret to see Bresnahan leave
the Giants ranks. and if McGraw let's him
go they may be that there is rea-
son. Another deal in which Cincinnati fig
ures is the exchange of Stenfeldt and
Sebring for Weimer of the Chicago Cubs.

Different footing and heavier attire make
sprinting on the gridiron much harder than

Is player who foot ball togs do not slow

the streak of lightning who plays quarter
back for the University Of Chicago. is a ten
second man on the track, and to his oppo-
nents on the foot ball field he never seems
any slower than that. Foot bali clothing
does not check his speed much, and t would
be interesting to kuow in just what time he
could do hundred yards on the gridison
and in gridirOn regalia. Harold Weekes,
the old Columbia halfback, was one of those
men who apparently was fast on the
gridiron as on the track. He was good for
10 TO seconds on the track and was SO
strong that the additional weight of foot
ball clothing bothered him but little. He
was as fast the foot ball field as some
men who could have beaten him in a sprint
