BLUE AND GREY IN FRONT.
Seitz of Georgetown Won Two Sixty
Yard Races in New York.

Under the auspices of the Pastime Ath-
letic Club, some three thousand persons
witnessed a heavy program of track and
field events in Madison Square Garden, New
York, Saturday night. The chief attraction
was the indoor championships of LOCO
yards, sixty yards. putting the twenty-four
pound shot and throwing the fifty-six pound
weight for height
In addition to these events the night 8
entertainment included finals for the pub
lie schools championships and contests.
After a lapse Of nearly fifteen years the
twenty-four pound shot putting cham
pionship was revived. Then George Gray.
the well-known Canadian amateur, estab-
Hshed a record of SO feet liz inches.
Ralph Rose, the giant of Michigan Uni
versity. and holder of the record for the
sIxteen-pound shot at 4S feet inches, was
the first to have shy at Gray's figures.
At his first attempt he sent the cumbersome
lead ball ~ feet inches, and followed
this up by hurting it Ss feet inches.
In the meantime, Richard Sheldon of the
Pastime A. c.. in his first effort saw the
missile land through the floor and a werck-
Ing party had TO be called into requisition
In the end Rose sent the numbering niece
of metal 80 feet 20 inches, easily estab-
fishing a new record. Richard Sheldon of
the Pastime A. c. was second with a put
of SO feet inches, and l.. E. Feuerbach of
the New York A. c., third, with 80 feet 5
inches.
The final for the 6O-yard championship
was reduced to a battle between Charles
Seitz. Georgetown University's representa-
tive in lieu of Arthur Duffy; w. r. Knakel
of Columbia University. and the two N. Y.
A I. representatives, Frank Rickeret and
p. j. Callahan.
At the pistol shot Knakel was away like
a Hash. with Rickert almost abreast, and
SeitZ. on the outside, slowest of the quar-
tet. Not until half the distance had been
covered did Seitz seem to get fairly into
his stride. Then he literally moved down
his flying opponents, and, finishing at ter
rihc pace, won on the post from Knakel,
who was separated by daylight from Frank
Rickert The time, . 2-5 seconds. euualed
the record held by Waters, Duffy and
others. Seitz also won the 60 yards handi-
cap with start Of feet, in the same
time.

AFTER HIGHLANDERs.
Manager Griffith Comes East to Sign
His Team.

Clark Griffith, manager of the New York
Americans. has come east from his Mon
tana ranch and will make gradual prepara-
ton for the coming season on the diamond,
says the New York Sun. So far Willie
Keller is the only member Of Griffith o
team who has signed a contract for next
year but the manager has not been in any
hurry to secure signatures because Of his
vacation in the west. All of the men were
royalty treated last year. They got high
salaries, a total of 100000. for their work
with the bat and ball, and they rewarded
the club for its liberality by playing magnt-
cent ball. even though they lost the cham
pionship by a nose. There will be no change
in the policy of the club. therefore. as Crit
fifth will receive full power from Frank j.
Farrell to secure the mems contracts when
ever he is ready to go after them. Griffith
is player himself and he knows what high
salaries mean, but he Is eminently fair both
to his employer and his players when 1t
comes to fixing the price of ones services
for the ensuing year. If he thinks man
is worth 5000 for the season the man will
get it. If it is $1,000, the man will take 1t
or his release. Yet Griffith is one of the
most popular managers among ball players
who ever directed matters from the bench.
And, furthermore. he is one Of the hardest
losers in the business, SO much SO that he
Is still talking about the loss OF the cham
pionshlp to the Boston Americans. which
was partly due to a wild pitch. 1--WE had
Boston scared to death, anyway, even If we
did not win the championship" is the way
Griffith puts it when the discussion grows
warm. 'Why. the Beaneaters were shak-
ing all over until Chesbro made that wild
pitch. But this year we will be stronger
and there will be another story to tell when
we run up against the champs again.
Grih will probably be at local American
scribes and cranks who gather there these
wintry afternoons.

FINAL ACTION TAKEN.

Court-Martial.

tried by court-martial, have been finally
acted upon by General Grant. commanding
the Department of the East.
Private Harry B. Meyers. 44th Company,
Coast Artillery. at Fort Washington, was
convicted Of disobedience of orders. and
sentenced to confinement at hard labor for
one year. and to forfeit SO of his pay per
month during that period. The sentence
was committed to Imprisonment for one
month and to forfeiture of $40.
Private George H. Clark, Company II,

ton, mounted service. unassigned. were
convicted at Fort Myer of desertion, and
sentenced to dishonorable discharge, for
fixture of. pay and allowances and to con-
finement at hard labor, Clark for eighteen
months and Barton for twelve months.
The sentence in the case of Clark was APP
proved. In the case of Barton the for
fixture and discharge portions of the SEN
tence were RENTED and the term of i'm
prisonment was reduced to six months.
This action was taken on account or the
youth and inexperience of the accused.
Private Henry WortZ. Sd Battery, Field
Artillery at Fort Myer was convicted of
guard mount. of losing clothing and of con-
duct to the prejudice of good order and
military discipline (six previous convictions
being considered). and was sentenced to

ment at hard labor. The sentence was APP

Entries for Big Handicaps
Close Tomorrow.
FINE LIST EXPECTED
SEITZ CARRIES GEORGEToWN'S
CoLoRs TO THE FRONT.
Penn Victor at Chess - New Orleans
Races--Gossip of the Boxers
Golf at Pinehurst.

Entries for the three big eastern handi-
caps-the Brooklyn, Suburban and Brighton
will close at II o'clock tomorrow night In
New York. and from present indication
these events will attract all of Americas
greatest race horses. Although last years
stars, Hermis, Irish Lad and The Picket,
were virtually compelled to withdraw from
active racing before the end of the cam
paign, it is possible that they will be named
to go in these rich stakes. together with the
old favorites, McChesney and Africander,
who may be successfully patched up once
more. But even should any of these horses
come to hand again with the old prowess,
the fouryear- old division will present some
formidable champions who will be hard to
beat. Stalwart. Beldame, Delhi. Ort Wells
Broomstick and Dolly Spanker, all great
three year-olds last season, should come
right back this year. All will be entered in
the big handicaps and will receive much
attention from W. s. Vosburgh in his
weight allotments. Stalwart was the best
long-dstance performer in training in 1904
and +. r. Thomas, his owner. believes that
the Meddler colt will be invincible during
the coming season.
Yet there are many turfmen who insist
that Beldame was not only the champion
of all the three-year- olds. but will also be
the greatest horse in training this year.
Delhi, the pride of the keene stable, will
be ready for the races early. Trainer Rowe
did not ask too much of this famous son Of
Ben Brush, who Is wintering finely and will
prove bigger, stronger and faster than ever
in the spring. Ort Wells, the star of John
A. brakes stable was raced off his feet
last summer, but he has been resting ever
since and Trainer Wishard says that the
colt will be ready for another hard cam
paign as soon as the frost leaves the
ground. Broomstick. s. s. Browns Bright
handicap winner. who also holds the
worlds record for a mile and a quarter,
will be another factor. though he will never
be weight carrier, it is feared. unless he
grows considerably before the training sea-
arrives. In addition to these cracks
the best of the two-yearold division,
Oiseau, Sysonby, Tradition, Artful, Tanya,
Woodsaw and others will be named for the
handicaps 1t will be about a week before
all of the entries have been received but
their announcement will arouse widespread
interest among turfmen, for this incident
really marks the beginning of the turf cam
paign of 1905. In addition to the three
handicaps. all of the stakes to be run at
the spring meetings al Gravesend, Sleeps
head Bay and Brighton will also be closed
at the same time, together with a number
of stakes that will not be run until 1907.
In all, the gross value of these stakes is
about 100000, of which 100000 will be
distributed among horsemen who may own
the winners of the three handicaps and the
$4,000 Produce stakes.
