HARTMAN WON $4,000
He Gave It All to the Crew of the
Steamer Siberia.

san Francisco, Oct. 24.-Two thou
sand dollars was awarded the crew
of the Pacific Mail liner Siberia for
bringing the vessel into port from
Yokohama in record breaking time.
E. H. Hartman, the railroad mag
nate, who was passenger on the
steamer, was the donor. He won the
money from Robert Goelet the New
York millionaire, on a wager regard
ing the time that the steamer would
make from Yokohama 10 this port.
Hartman bet that the Siberia would
break the recent record estab ablished
by the Korea. He won by 81 min
utes.
M. Shiraishi, general manager of
the Toyo Kisen Kaisha steamship line,
who arrived on the Siberia, says the
building of two giant liners for the
Togo Kisen Kaisha steamship COM
pany to ply between this port and the
Orient is to be commenced next month
at Nagasaki. The two new vessels
are to be of 1880 tons burden. The
first one will be completed by the end
of 1907.
The Pacific Mail steamship COM
pany's liner Siberia arrived at this
port direct from Yokohama in the
record breaking time of ten days, ten
hours and twenty-eight minutes, the
fastest previous trip between the two
places having been made by her sis
ter ship, the Korea, in eleven days,
Sfberia's time is twenty-eight minutes
more than that of the Empress of
Tndia's record from the Orient to
Puget sound, though the distance
covered was about 275 m.ses greater.
There were many distinguished
passengers on the Siberia. among them
being Miss Alice Roosevelt United
States Senator Newlands of Nevada
and wife, United States Senator War
ren of wyoming. Representative
Longworth Of Ohio and Brigadier
General H. T. Allen, chief of the Phil
ippine constabulary.
Although it was expected that Miss
Roosevelt would spend a few days in
and around San Francisco. all the pre-
vious plans were changed during the
voyage. and neither her party nor that
of Mr. Hartman landed in this city at
all. Instead they were transferred
from the Siberia to the tug Arab and
taken to the Oakland mole on the
eastern side of the bay. They left
there for the east over the central
route of the Southern Pacific, con-

the presidents daughter. ''There was
really nothing so remarkable in my
trip, and I cannot understand why so

WILL STAY WITH GIANTS.
Catcher Bresnahan Not TO Become a
Reds BackstOp.

New York, Oct. 24.-Roger Bres-
nahan, one of the Giants great back
stops, who, it was reported, was to be
traded to the Cincinnati club in ex-
change for Cy Seymour, the hard
hitting outhelder of the Reds, will
again wear a New York unifrom next
season. This fact was made plain
by Manager McGraw when he de-
clared that he had never even con-
sidered asking Bresnahan or any other
member of this years Giants to go.
McGraw said he had talked with
the players during the series with the
Athletics and they all expressed
themselves as being anxious to play
here again next year.
Even if Bresnai1au did want to 90
to Cincinnati McGraw said, ''he
could not do so without my consent,
and I have not given it,
McGraw also said that even If he
decided to let Roger go to the Pork
opolis.' he would not manage the
Reds, as Joe Kelley viii again assume
command of the Cincinnati team.
IT had a long talk with Herman
While we were in Cincinnati on the
last trip" said the Giants manager,
"and he asked me what I thought of
his team. I told him all he lacked
was good pitchers. He asked me
what I thought of Kelley's handling
of the team. and told him that Joe
had done all that could be expected
of him. He then told me that Kelley
would manage the team next year. and
Joe has since told me the same''

MATCHES FOR TERRY.
Good Money for the Little Fighter to

Philadelphia, Oct. 24.=If Terry
AIcGovern's s manager wants to put his
man back in the ring at once all he
has to do is to say the word and
plenty of matches will be forthcoming.
This was made plain today when va
rious offers were made by local
matchmakers. A purse of $1,000
guaranteed or so per cent. of the
gross receipts is offered him for a
match with Young Corbett, but it ap-
pears Battling Nelson IS the man Nc

As Corbett is pretty will tied up with

He will box Young Erne Monday
night here, and at Baltimore Friday
night he viii tackle Joe Tipman.
Then on the 31st he will journey. to

TANTALIzING DELIVERY.
Joe Corbett Tells How He Found the
ssSIOVv'' Ball.

Chicago, Oct. Att was a funny
way / discovered a slow ball. remarked
Joe Corbett recently, recalling the old
days when he was the premier pitcher
of the National league.
when I broke into the game with
Baltimore I had a good, fast ball, and
my curve ball was as good as any
body's. In fact, 1 think [ had little
better curve than most pitchers, and I
used to depend on my fast ball and
curves to win games. 7 would shoot
a curve at the batter. which he would
break his bat reaching for, and then /
would push U3 fast one close to the
batter, which would drive him away
from the plate.
BY mixing them up I used to man
age to hold my own. I had seen pitch
ers manipulate a slow BAH successfully,
and I experimental with it some in
practice, but 7 never had the nerve to
throw one at a batter in a game until
pitched at Pittsburg one day.
Fred Clarke, who is still with the
same club. was I'd. I think he must
have fouled off a dozen balls. It was
a hot day and a close game, and was
sweating like steer. I had tried ev-
erything knew on Clarke. I had fed
him all the curves had and put up
fast balls for him 10 hit at. and he
fouled them all.
It didn't know what to do. Then the
thought struck me to try a slow ball.
I didn't know much about it, but said
to myself that he can't no more than
knock it out Of the lot. so III let her
flicker. I wound up and let her go. It
was such a complete surprise to Clarke,
who had never seen me work a slow
ball before, that he went at it like an
amateur and hit it right into my hands.
"It was an easy out and we won the
game.
But for Clarke fouling off all those
balls I might never have developed the
slow ball, which is a dandy and which
has helped many pitcher out of a
hole.
so you see we sometimes sort of
stumble onto things in baseball"

Declares Haskell Plays a sIugging
Game OF Football.
Columbia, Mo, Oct. 24.-ssNTissouri will
refuse to play Haskell in the future and
athletic relations are severed = declared
DR.. c. W. Hetherington.
The dirty playing by the Indians was
given as the cause. Missouri viii play
no more games with Haskell" said Or.
Hetheringt0n- I'VE are not going to
allow students of this university to play
against aggregations that use the foul
tactics that the Indians do. The at
tempts of the Haskell men to injure the
Missouri men so that they would have
to quit the game were the most fragrant
and open that I have seen in any kind
Of an athletic contest. It was not simp-
ly hard football, it was dirty football
of the worst sort. am a believer in
hard football. The man who hasn't the
grit to play hard football should stay
out OF the game, but no man should
risk permanent injury, by playing
against a team that has the science of
injuring its opponents down to fine
point. If football has to be as brutal
as that displayed last Saturday, then /
am opposed to the game. But football
played by gentlemanly and manly men
is not brutal"
The work of the Indians Saturday in
trying to injure Missouri players was so
open that DR.. Hetherington was asked
many times in the second half to call
the Tigers off the field. +. Hauser was
put out of the game by the umpire in
the second half for dirty work. The
Indians gave special attention to Reppe
and Rutherford, quarter backs, Leap
part, end, Maupin, fullback. and Child
ers, center. Both Reppe and Leappart
had to be taken to the hospital at the
end of the game. Rutherford failed to
get up after the first play was called.
The side of his eye was cut open, and
he asserts that he was slugged.
It will be recalled that DR.. Hether-
ington broke relations with Nebraska
university four years ago for the same
reason that he breaks with Haskell.

WAS 1T TEDDY, JR?
Youth Resembling President Attracts
Attention at Boston Bout.

Boston, Oct. 24-It is believed here
that Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., son of
the president and freshman at Har-
ward, was one of the spectators at the
Walsh-S Stanley fight Harvard students
in great numbers quietly took seats
about the ringside and one, a studious-
appearing young chap, was the magnet
for all eyes before the principals in the
star bout put in an appearance.
It was rumored that he was Teddy,
Jr.. and the situation became so en-
barrassing that the lad with the large
spectacles and firm and prominent
mouth, changed his seat during the
brief wait between the finish of the
semifinal bout and the chief event.

Municipal administrations in this
are not famous for their economy and
il is safe to say that nobody ever sus-
pected the municipal government of
Greater New York to be more eco
nomical than the governments of other
American cities. As rule, figures
showing the extravaganza of city al.
ministrations are more exasperating
than sensational except in some few
Instances. The figures concerning the
cost of maintaining the county Jail on
Ludlow street, however, are so extra
ordinary. that even the most pessi-
mistic critics of the administration
find il difficult to accept them as cor
rect. According the figures submit
ted by Sheriff Erlauger to the Board
of Estimate the cost of maintaining
and conducting the Ludlow street
Jail is 500, $50 year, not including
the $40, 200 which constitutes the
sheriff's salary. At the present time
there are only three prisoners in the
jail and, according to the figures their
maintenance costs the city over 500
a day for each prisoner One of the
local papers has figured out that the
city could save about $445 a day by
sending tbs prisoners, each accompa-
MED by trusty guard, to the St.
Regis Hotel and board and lodge them
there.
