The news is flashed today that Ralph
Rose is now thinking Of tending Yale.
Rose is a hammer-throWer. OF much
proves, but has troubles in the pursuit
of knowledge. He found the Califor-
MIA schools did not educate, man to
the perfection he desired The beauties
pointed out to Rose. He looked this
found a place where the faculty and
course were such that he. could fit him
self for the struggles Of life and go
forth with fund Of knowledge which
would prove irresistible when he felt
a need to call upon his store. 49, -
He entered Michigan and started to
burn the midnight oil in his student 8
lamp. porting over the accumulated
knowledge offered him as his part Of
the heritage of the ages. After time,
connected his name with that of Cor
nell. Facts at hand do not show that
he ever entered Cornell, but he was re-
ported as thinking Of it. Now from
Portland comes the word that Mr.. Rose
of California is thinking of entering
Yale, that he may there acquire the cdu-
cation which is to make him power
high and far HEAVIER of tho ham
mer. The dispatch says that Rose
has been in consultation with eminent
athletic authorities of Yale and that
they have treated him well. They have
doubtless pointed out that Yale is the
seat Of learning; that a part of the
Rockefeller gift may become his if he
takes advantage of the added facilities
fer hheaT d6n an eaqcatiqn made posi-
the giant athlete is laudable one. An
education is the one thing desirable if a
young man is intending to keep his
place in the front ranks Of the restless
today and the galloping tomorrow. A
greater number of athletes could profit
by the tlreless quest Of Ralph Rose for
a PLACE where he might rest and Fl hi m
self Tor part in the administration of
the world s affairs. -'-.
Vice has been given another slap.
The Saratoga race promoters have de-
clded that as the SCI gate bars many
people, and, ass the 51h6neys is needed
the bookmakers are now assessed fol
information as to Jockeys weights and
stable news. This is getting after vice
with vengeance, and the sterling in
tegr1ty which keeps the race promoters
from kicking the men with the pencils
or the blocks and cutting in with a
book OF their own is to be commended
SOt'iSO 1iC 1OO1JSl UoCGluS pubic Will

fix1d1ty, bit The people who do not cash
the. jockey club is getting a part OF
their money away from the wicked
bookmakers. 49,,
Charley Comiskey butted into la
crosse game at Chicago yesterday, and
one of the gentlemanly sportsmen gave
him a clout in the back Of the head that
raised lump as big as. Waterbury
watch. Charles will indulge in nothing
more strenuous thar baseball hereafter
After yesterdays doings at Toledo
Watty must begin to appreciate the
emotions surging thru the heart of the
elephant who tried to climb the tree.
The sporting editor Of the louisville
Herald, one Daniel McConelouge-
known in these parts-is now out as &
defender Of the downtrodden umpire
If memory faileth not the hereinbefore
| mentioned Daniel was formerly a party
of the first part in batting umpires anc
locally possessed record Of being able
at eighty yards, of knocking fly off ar
| umpire's cocoanut with a pop bottle
Truly the waters of Fontaine Park work
miracles in the SOu1S Of men .-
