THE SURPRISE OF THE SEASON
Cornelps Victories Give Her an Envi-
able Position.

From the Phuadelphla Ledger.
While the close of the college athletic
season has left Yale In more comfortable
place than she has occupied for years, yet
Cornell has been the surprise. In base ball
foot ball she at least shared honorS with
Pennsylvania, while in rowing her only
peer was Cornell, not to speak Of the inter-
collegiate honors she won in minor sports,
like wrestling, water polo and lawn tennis
doubles.
Although the Blue is entitled to first
place as a result of the years athletic per-
formances, the college which made the
and pushed itself to the front In new ways
was Cornell
The way in which the Carnelian and
White broke in upon the intercollegiate
field and track championship, hitherto
viewed the private property of Yale.
Harvard or Pennsylvania, was the ath-
Ietic sensation of the year, while the
greater extent and variety of the Ithaca
university's triumphs on the water give
her precedence there over Yale, and she
can add to this the luSter of her usual VIC
tory in the cross-country championships.
The athletic performances of Princeton
and Pennsylvania for the year were less
successful than usual Harvard about held
her own, and Columbia, although winning
no top berth in any of the four principal
college sports-base ball. rowing, track and
foot ball-did remarkably well in several
minor branches. maintaining her prestige
In basket ball, securing first honors in gym
nastics winning the lawn tennis singles
and tying with Yale for the water polo
championship.

OARsMEN FOR GERMANY.
America to Send One or More Crews
Abroad

NEW YORK, July Thames Pilkington
president of the National Association OF
Amateur Oarsmen. who has been appointed
manager of the Metropolitan crew of soul
lers which IS to compete at Baltimore in
August in the First City against City Sc
nior octopede race, announces that a move
ment Is on foot to send an eight-oared shell
crew to Germany next year. Pilkington ex-
planned that the Germans have been liberal
supporters of American regattas in the
past and that 1t Is only fair the United
States should send representative crew
to compete for the next cup of the kaiser.
Pilkington said of the project:
THE idea Is to send the best crew to be
found in America. Independent of whether
such crew comes from this city or smaller
rowing center. Germany has never failed
to remember US In a big regatta. and 1t is
proposed that return her many kind
nesses. The sending of Mulcahy and Var
ley the Atalanta boat club senior double
scull crew over to compete in the Hamburg
races next week IS simply the beginning Of
a bigger invasion next year.
'.It must not be assumed that we can send
a poor crew to Germany and win. The Ger
mans are great Oarsmen. and 1t Is I'M
common thing to find fully a dozen profess
sional trainers and coaches from England
in Germany each rowing season. The Ger
man oarsmen advance rapidly. and we must
have a good crew to send over or none at
all !"

Real Test Of American Players Abroad
Comes This Week.

The real test of the international lawn ten
mis- matches will come this week for the
American team In London. First comes the
meeting with the AustralaSians, In the final,
which begins today on the courts at VIM
bledon This will decide the team that will
challenge the Englishmen-Hugh l.. Doher-
ty. Reginald F. Doherty. Frank L. Riseley
and S. H. Smth-for the Dwight +. Davis
challenge cup, the blue ribbon of the tennis
courts.
Paul Dashiel, who Is directing the Ameri-
can team, put forward the two strong
est players in the singles-William A. Lar
ned and Beals c. Wright. In the doubles
Ward and Wright will continue.
According to the draw, the Australian
team has not changed its players. as the
best men were put In at the beginning. The
singles for today bring Larned against A.
w Wilding and Wright against Norman r..
Brookes.
The fact that Brookes and Walter Dun
lop a member of the Australian team, won
over the Doherty brothers in doubles gives
weight to the notes that have crossed to
this country telling that the famous broth
ers are not in the best of trim.
1t is ntimated in English official lawn
tennis circles that the Dohertys will only be
played in the international challenge dou-
bles, and that Riseley and Smith will take
care of the singles, whether America or
Australia wins the right 10 challenge for
the cup.

League Base Ball Club. who was chosen
saturday said today:
The story of syndicate ownership as ap-
piled 70 our organization is without foun-
dalton. No other club owner in the Ma
tional League has any stock or will be al
lowed to take any in the Chicago club.
Any talk OF a merger or base bali combi-
nation involving our club Is likewise with
out the slightest foundation. The Chicago
club will be strengthened without regard to
expense, and II we can give the city a
championship club. we intend to do so.
Manager Frank Selee, who Is now i'll at a
local hospital. will be retained, and no
changes of any kind whatsoever are con-
templated. save that we will add any star
players that we can secure"

ALBANY July 17.-Willie Hosey of this
city knocked out Jack Dorman, the New
York lightweight, in the Nineteenth round
OF what was to have been a twenty-round
battle here yesterday. The fight took place
on a barge down the Hudson and was wit
messed by several hundred sports many of
them coming from New York to see Dor
man In action. The fight was for side bet
of $3.50. but more than 81, 900 changed hands
on the result of the battle, the New York
ers losing heavily.
Up to the time Hosey sent right hook to
the jaw that sent Dorman down for the
count the battle was pretty even thing.
The fought fast but cautiously
throughout. In the nineteenth round Dor
man was forcing matters and seemed con-
fident of winning when Hosey bore In with
left to the stomach and followed 1t up
with right hand hook to the jaw. The
New Yorker toppled over in heap and had
to be carried to his corner.
This was the second meeting between the
boxers. In their last battle Dorman knock
ed out Hosey in the fourteenth round and

BASE BALL, RACING
AND OTHER SPORTS

midsummer madness overcame some indi-
vidual in Cincinnati last Saturday and
caused him to perpetrate the worst joke
of the season. In substance. the literary
effuslon' was that President Hermann and
George e. Cox of the Cincinnati Club had
purchased the Philadelphia National League
Club and were engineering deal for one
twelve-club major league In 1906.
The story ridiculous on its face, and
yet certain persons were ready to gulp
down the yarn at one swallow.
The purchase of the Phillies by the Gin
cinnatians named Is considered next to I'M
possible. although where money Is involved
In transaction almost anything can be
bought AS for the other end of the story.
about a twelve-club circuit, it's a wonder
the man in the moon didn't turn over on
his side and take a quiet laugh. The yarn
even bOwled both Ban Johnson and Harry
Pilliam out of their jobs without a strug-
gle. Think of Harry Pulliam giving up the
presidency of the National League with a
chance of getting nervous prostration once
a year without protest.

Outlook for Harness Racing.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
On paper the racing OF harness horses In
1905 looks good. IL not better than,
any season that preceded it. AS a matter
of fact. the actual conditions were never
worse, If we make few exceptions. All
over the country come reports of small
fields. poor attendance, betting either stop
ped or interfered with. and jobbing has be-
come rife among horsemen in order to
make ends meet The public as a conse-
quence has become disgusted. and the man
ayers of racing plants are disconsolate
These facts are altogether too apparent
to be CLOSED over or ignored. The issues
have been made. and have to be met, or
the great industry of breeding. raising and
racing Americas greatest animal product,
the American trotter. will become a thing
of the past This pessimistic view may be
credited to biliousness on the writer's part,
and will be ridiculed in some quarters. but
thinking horsernen. those who breed for a
profit, trainers who race for a livelihood
and owners who campaign their horses
only for pleasure realize the truth of my
assertion.
