THE CoLoRED ATHLETE
Has Shown Creditably in Many Forms
of Sport

The ability to withstand hardship, priva-
ton and exposure has always been char
acteristic of the colored race, and numer-
GUS cases Of this sort of rugged stamina
are on record throughout the world.
In the history of track and field sports it
will be found that there are some creditable
performances to the, credit of the negro.
About one of the most noteworthy is the
record of 10 seconds for the 100 yards,
championships of 1886. Wharton was a
native of India and was attached to the
Darlington College.
Prior to his advent there was a deep
rooted theory prevalent among the Eng
lish critics that a 1O-second record for the
hundred was impossible provided the
timing was correct and that the winner did
not beat the gun, but Wharton'S running
dispelled the Illusion. He won his heat in
''even time to the awe of the spectators,
and little while later demonstrated his
claim to the record by duplicating the feat
in the final heat and incidentally disposing
of F. T. Richie and c. G. Woods, two of
the fastest BritOns of that time.
Wharton was in evidence again at the
English championships of 1887, and won
the hundred" against a stiff breeze and
on new track at Stowbridge in 10 Is
seconds. Subsequently Wharton turned
professional and won one of the big Shelf
field handicaps in very fast time.
OF late years, both on the cinder path
and gridiron, some first-cla s colored per-
formers have been in evidence. Harvard
has produced few, such as Marshall and
Matthews. But the most remarkable Afri-
can is now at the University of Pennsyl-
vania in the person of j. b. Taylor, the in
tercollegiate champion at the quarter mile.
Last year he won in 40 80 seconds, or only
a fifth of second worse than the collegiate
record, and he may be relied upon for some
sensational work this year

coRBETT GOING BACK.
Young Erne Had Best Of Scrap With
Ex-Champion.

It was apparent to the $500 persons VINO
crowded the Washington Sporting Club
Philadelphia, last night that young Cor
betts will never again wear the crown OF q
champion. Corbett met Young" Erne Oh
Philadelphia in the wind-up and the latter
deserved the victory. Had Erne shown
less timidity during the early rounds ne
would probably have won in hollow fashion
Corbetts principal weakness was in his
inability to take punishment. This was
manifested In the opening round. when
Erne's jabs made it difficult for the former
champion to breathe, while in the last two
rounds Corbett flinched under body punish
ment and adopted tactics to prevent the
Philadelphia from getting in body punches.
Corbet was also slow. He lacked ag-
gressveness, was wild when he did lead
and lacked the spirit which he had dis
played in former contests.
Erne proved to be the more clever and
the quicker of the two, and had he been
willing to mix 1t up at all times with the
umph to his record. AS 1t was. Erne de-
served the verdict, AMI he had Corbett in
distress near the close of each of the last
two rounds.
Corbett did his best work in the third
round. In the first two rounds he was very
slow and there was a stern look of deter
mination on his face He wore worried
look when he came out of his corner in the
third round. but he did such good eXecu-
ton in this round that he began to smile
and adopted rushing tactics. 1t was only a
flash, however, and Corbett did not have
the speed to keep up his fast work.

LAFAYETTE's WORK DIsAPPoINTs
Collegians From Easton, Pa, Easily
Defeated by Georgetown.

Lafayette College went down in defeat
yesterday afternoon before the husky lads
OF Georgetown University by score of q

players was somewhat disappointing, as in
their practice work their fine work Set
high the expectations of the spectators.
Georgetown, however, had the visitors out
classed in every feature of the game and
found no trouble in reaching the cork
screws handed out by Newberry Lafay-
cites twirler.
Aver, in the box for Georgetown, did
brilliant work and held the opponents down
to six hits. The fielding game of Smith at
the third bag was fine. Hub Hart, McGet-
tigan and Larkin for the home team also
distinguished themselves For the visitors
Hubiey at third base played an errorless
game. accepting eight very hard chances.
The work of Irwin. Shook and Hawk was
also worthy of mention.
In the first inning neither team scored.

to second by Hawk. Folkensen then

CRIMMINS CAUGHT.
Little Jockey Victim of a Practical
Joke

Mickey" Crimmins. the "Peck's Bad
Boy" of the jockey room. managed to get
himself into a novel predicament at Ben
ming yesterday which caused no end of
amusement.
Crimmins, though no bigger than Tom
Thumb, is one of the irrepressible spirits
of the jockey fraternity. He will fight
15O-pound man as readily as he will play
a game of craps with a pickanniny. He
is the greatest practical joke player
among the jockeys and not one of the
older set of trainers who have become
querulous and cross through years and
years of hard turf compaigns but re-
CARDS Crimmins as the torment of his
life. New York'S east side lad is never
done putting up all sorts of innocent but
nevertheless annoying tricks on these
old-school trainers.
Matt HyneS, the trainer who never
laughs and who suffers from the worst
patch of corns ever allotted to a fifty
year-old human, is one of them. Grim
minis once accidentally mislaid one of
the patent "broadside" shoes, made spe
no other-and the trainer was obliged to
walk around the New Orleans paddock
in pair of overshoes for two days until
Crimmins told him where the missing
'broadSide" lay hidden.
However, Crimmins' Waterloo came
yesterday just before the third race
Hynes left a set of old-time army hand
cuffs in the Jockeys room with the clerk.
Said he: Let Mickey try them on, SO
he can have some fun with the kids"
The clerk did as requested. While
scheming as to the manner in which he
would utilize the handouts in creating
fun at the expense of some unsuspecting
little jockey, Crimmins tried them on
himself. No sooner did he get them on
than he found it impossible to get them
off. Worst of all, no one else but Hynes,
who held the snap key, could accomplish
their removal.
After half an hours frenzied Juggling.
Crimmins gave up and then pleaded with
Hynes, but to no avail. Finally, accom-
panied by his valet, he was obliged to go
all the way downtown, meanwhile endur-
ing the curious crowd in the street cars;
and there had them sawed off by a lock-
smith.
Fortunately Crimmins is on the
ground through the edict of Starter Cas-
sidy for breaking up starts and did not
miss any mounts. Old Man Hynes says
he is even now.

Commissioners Practicing Hard.

Capt. Harry Collifiower of the Commits
sioners' club has arranged for one more
practice game for his team before they
meet the Nationals on Friday. and when
the boys go, on the field at American
League Park 1t will not be his fault if they
are not in first-class condition. The team
has played three games together. besides
having had several daTs of practice, and
they will undoubtedly give good account
of themselves in their contest with the
professionals. There will be several old
heads on the team and the question of
stage fright ought not to enter at any
stage of the game.
The infield will be composed of Bowling,
first base; Handiboe, second base; Venable,
shortstop, and Hooks or Fitzpatrick, third
base These men have worked together.

simplon Tunnel Opened to Traffic.

A cablegram from Rome says: The Sim

vented the overflow Of a torrent of hot
water. and which was Sunday opened for

door by means OF hammering. and finally
the door was knocked down. amid frantic

meeting of the Metropolitan Jockey Club at
Jamaica. There were number of applica-
tions for licenses and reinstatements pre-
sented. and several were acted upon ad-
versely. One Of these was the case of 9. Z.

revoked for assault at Morris Park some
two years ago. Hildreth asked for re-
newal of the license but it was denied. The
application of r. H. Brown to be placed in
petition of Harry Cochran to have his Ii
cense as a jockey renewed. William An

JOCKEY HARRY BAIRD.
Michigan Lad Looks All Over First
Glass Rider

Always in the spring there Is a scramble
for Jockeys, but right now 1t seems as If
Jockey Harry Baird is the prize for whom
MANY of the big owners are striving.
Last season little Willie Davis came into
the east and was soon among the foremost
ranks of riding artists. Davis. however,
was lucky in that he had influential friends.
Baird slight as he is in build, came east
with practically an unknown reputation.
He has had nothing but light weight and
ability to recommend him, still he has won
his way into the hearts of the eastern rae
ing folk. Judging by his performances at
New Orleans and Benning. it is hard to
believe that he had been riding but six
months.
Baird was an exercise boy for a BUSH
whacking concern until Bob Nicholson of
Bad Axe picked him up. Nicholson had
been training some horses at the Detroit
meeting and then went through the
bushes in Michigan. At one of the fairs
he ran across Baird. who was then an ex-
ercise boy. Believing that he had all the
| necessary ability to become a successful
jockey, Nicholson went to Grand Rapids and
secured contract on the lad for three
years. Both his mother and father signed
the papers.
Nicholson, knowing that he had a find,
tossed off the fair meeting and made his
way to Latonia. At the first asking Baird
had the mount on a mare named Ethel
Davis, and to the surprise of the big
crowd he landed her winner at the juicy
odds of 40 to l.
A few days later he landed John Mackes-
sey's colt Eclectic winner. and In many
books there was as high 200 to / against
him. Nicholson. seeing that there was a
future for the lad picked up his horses
and utensils and went to New Orleans 1t
was there that Baird first really became
known to the public He was able to ride
as low as So pounds and made finish with
the best of the boys at the Crescent City.
While he was south he rode twenty seven
winners at the Fair Grounds, and at the
end of the Western Jockey Club season he
was fifth on the list of winning Jockeys
