WE'RE TWO FRED RUBYs."
This Caused Suspicion OF a Ringer
at New Orleans Track.

New orleans, Dec. 2.-Rumors were
current in turf circles today that there
was a ringer" at City park The ru-
mors, however were apparently with
out foundation. The horse referred
to is the two-year-old Red Ruby by
star Ruby. Fiernzeta, which is owned
BY Pat Civil The suspicion of a
case of ringing grew out of the fact
that while Red Ruby is entered in the
first race at City park today there is
also a Red Ruby at San Francisco.
Today is the first start of that horse.
The local Red Ruby, however, has
started on all the leading American
Turf associations tracks and has been
fully Identified.
Owing to the fact that there are
now two turf governing bodies in the
west, horsemen are at liberty to name
their horses as they choose provided
they are racing under one OF these
bodies.

Chicago, Dec. 2.-Henry Hockzemo,
leader of a rang of robbers, whose loot
within the last two months aggregated
s25, 600, mostly stolen from freight cars
of the Chicago Terminal Transfer COM
pany, near Lemoyne, ILL.,, has been cap
tured after a desperate fight. The no
lice found silverware, silks laces, shoes,
firearms and almost all conceivable
sorts of merchandise stored away in
Hockzem0's house. The value of the
booty recovered is said to be 1000.
Hockzemo lived with his wife in a
house in Archer avenue upon which a
raid was made by the police.
When the police demanded admission
Hockzemo appeared at a window with
a rife and opened fire on them. A rail-
road detective who accompanied the Of
ficers was hit by one of the bullets,
but not seriously wounded. The police
men drew their revolvers and returned
the fire. Eockzemo surrendered and his
wife was also taken into custody.
The prisoner is said to be the leader
of a gang of nine persons who have
been robbing freight cars for several
months.

Findley and Bertke Are the

Chicago, Dec. .2.-The Chronicle says:
In picking an au-western football team
this fall one has great difficulty with
several Of the positions. In other places
one man stands out by himself so that
there is no question. The west has had
four great teams this season in Chi
caEo. Michigan, Wisconsin and Mime
sofa. From these four it is easy to
pick eleven men that are truly stars in
their place, but a few Of the places are
doubtful.
In this choice not a man has been
shifted in his position. The guards Of
the west this fall have been the weak
SPOT. and could one choose some of the
brilliant tackles and shift them to
guards position he would undoubtedly
strengthen the team. However, in this
case not a man has been placed out Of
his position. Findley OF Wisconsin IS
placed at left half instead Of right and
Bertke Of the same team at right tack
lie instead Of left, but otherwise the men
are in their accustomed places

tend to bar him. At left guard there

JACKSON TOO GOOD a SPLINTER.
In a Twelve Round Bout at Baltimore
No Decision Given.

Baltimore, Dec. Jack Johnson
and Young Peter Jackson, both of
California, met in a u round fight
before the Eureka Athletic club last
night At its conclusion no decision
was given. Johnson had undertaken
to knock jackson out within II rounds
or take the smaller end Of the receipts.
He failed to do so. largely owing to
Jacksonss ability to keep himself Gov
cred and to th9 fact that jackson did
not hesitate to run away from his Op-
pSnenS. Johnson pounded him IN
nercifully whenever he could reach
him but was unable to score a knock
cut blow.

HERE is little a story about John
Wanamaker, told by Mr.. Gillian, which
is full OF Encouragement to those who
think they have poor opportunities:
"Take John Wanamaker: as boy he
worked in brick-yard at the hardest
kind Of work. He dried the bricks
and stacked them up, apd don't be-
lieve there was boy with less outlook,
with less promise or less ability than
John Wanamaker He had no education
no schooling OF any amount. He was
simply boy who did his work we'll.
He didn't study between meals either.
No human being can have higher
regard for education than l have, and
/ believe that no man or women can
know too much, but you can know in
the wrong way, John Wanamaker
was boy who had no school advan
tages, but he was sturdy, earnest,
energetic boy who was willing tc
work. When he went to Philadelphia
he was a mere lad, and there were
probably fifty thousand others will
the same outlook" Look back ant
