Spnin6tix

In the recent book on the Olympic
Games, edited by James e. Sullivan,
who was commissioner from the
United States to the games. there is
published a cable message that was
received by the American team from
President Roosevelt. This was pub
lished in almost all of the Greek daily
papers. and the following extract
from the Olympic book shows clearly
what the Greeks think of Uncle Sam:
Nothing could be nicer and more
American-like than the telegram the
enterprising president of the United
States sent to the American represent
ative and American laureate athletes,
and published in the Estia' Hearty
congratulations TO YOU and the AMeri-
can athletes. Uncle Sam is all right.
Who is this Uncle Sam who deigned
at last to be pleased after the tearing
up by the roots OF the olive tree of
Altis by the unrivalled athletes of the
New York World and its transporta-
ton TO the United States?
Only those among the Greeks know
him who reads European satrical
papers and magazines. For this We
place his picture in this paper He is
that big man with a hat like chimney
and the Star Spansled Banner used as
a ribbon around it. with long nose
ana pointed beard with the many COL
ored jacket and the striped short
trousers. He is TO the Americans
what John Bull is to the English. To
make it more imposing and humor-
istic. he is the country Of the Greeks.

the United States representative,
could not have dreamed of anything
better, of anything greater. than to
have the first American citizen inter-
pref by right the thoughts and desires

can be made it is safe to say that
forty thousand people will be kept out
OF the parks because OF lack of room
to meet the demand.
Few people realize that the worlds
championship games are played under
the direction OF the National baseball
commission. The club owners have
nothing TO say about the arrange
ments. The entire proceedings are in
the hands of the commission.
An umpire from each league will be
assigned TO officate at the games.
Sixty per cent OF the receipts of the
first four games goes to the players
The winning team gets IS per cent and
the losing team 2o per cent of this 20
per cent. III more than four games
are played. the receipts OF the excess
games are divided between the two
clubs after expenses are paid.
The object OF limiting the players
receipts to four days is to do away
with any suspicion that the players
are prolonsing the contest for pur-
pose. This provision makes il out of
the question for either team TO do any
laying down
Four years ago the two Chicago
teams played post season SERIES
The Nationals won the first three
games and had a good lead after seven
games had been played. The series
was dragged out until each team haa
won seven games. and then the decii-
ing game was not played This raised
such scandal that it led to the ide;:
that all post-season games should be
played under the National commits
sion's management.
The prices of admission will be 81
for box seats. $3.50 for grand stand.
81 for general admission and so cents
for the cheap seats out on the field.
Where the first game will be played
will be decided by tossing up coin.
The games will alternate between
the two parks.

Rowing

The Fall rowing season for the Har-
ward squad will open today when
twenty-siX men will report to Captain
Bacon at the University Boat club. The
six oarsmen now in college who rowed
against Yale and Cambridge this year
will be out with the squad, but their
work this fall will be mainly as coach
es. the object of the fall work being
to develop material for the spring
practice.
Captain Bacon announced last night
that James Wray, for the past years
coach of the Harvard oarsmen. will
return to the United States from Eng
land on October II, and will at once
take charge of the crew.
The football squad will go to the
training table today for the first time
this season. The table is starting
later than usual owing to the difficulty
of selecting an eleven under the new
rules. Fourteen men will report at
the table.

Along ut Brighton Beach, Brown
thought Tucker had better clean out a
few more. Then came a paddock sale.
Penarris. IL $4,000 winner since then,
went for $4,000: Frank Gill, a good
colt, brought $1,000, and Salvidere, 10
and behold, was knocked down to
John E. Madden for but $1,000. Salvi-
dere, as aforementioned, had been
beaten by Fountainblue in a sort of
scratch scramble, but it served to show
Madden the fine points of his racing
action. Why. there is very picture
of Henry Navarre!" cried Madden at
the finish. Henry of Navarro was one
of the greatest race horses of his
time. Walking into the ring on the
day Of the sale, Madden was surprised
to see the colt on the sale list. What
are you going to sell that colt for.
Bob" asked Madden of Tucker. the
latter replying in effect that the young
ster's off fore foot was soft and Sore
Madden, a master in the treatment
of thoroughbred's foot, examined the
affected member and then silently
stole away. Securing Charley" White,
the prize fight referee, he said. Go
to 100000 for Salvidere for me-"
Lucky Jack" McGinnis, the man who
beats more long shots than any other
bettor on the turf, started to nibble
on Salvidere.
Soon Madden was telling him of the
bad forefoot. Jack quit waited to get
the colt, Frank Gill. White got Sal
videre for $1,000 as aforementioned.
Madden is now racing in partnership
with H. &. F. r. Hitchcock. influential
members of the Jockey club. "You
can have half interest in this colt
If you want it, Tom," said Madden
after the sale. and Hitchcock took up
the offer. Since then Salvidere has
not been defeated, winning six straight
stake events and little over $50 900 in
prize money.
Madden started off by using light
aluminium pads on Salvidere's touchy
foot, thereby removing the pain of
conclusion with the hard courses in
this section. The Saratoga Special.
of $4,000, was Salvidere,s biggest
triumph. but his win of the Junior
Champion OF $4,000 did more to con-
firm his championship than any other
race, for he outstripped Water Pearl
and De Mund in impressive style. rae
ing each of them into the ground. one
after the other and then romping home
himself. He is now insured for $780,
900 against accident enroute to Ken
lucky. He is lean, stretchy chest
nut, but very deep through the heart.
He starts very slowly, but can sprint
at least full half mile. He looks
scraggy. He is tough as nails and
leonine in courage. Salvidere is the
real bulldog race horse" 1t is not
thought probable that Madden will
permit Salvidere to run again this
season at Hamburg Place, KY.

North Dakota Football.

* used in algebra as sign of an
unknown quantity, ought to be used
also in football" said DR.. Sweetland,
athletic director at the university.
The coach talked Of the 1907 out
look and the new playing rules as he
worked on his plans for the year at
the U. n. D.
The games last Saturday simply
show that no one has mastered the
rules yet" said Sweetland This is
due only to lack of practice. I think.
| believe all the coaches will be able
TO get the rules to going we'll before
the end of the season. In few of
the games, the novelties were not tried
at all, which shows that the coaches
are chary of springing anything new
before they have had time to work it
out
1T is little strange that the for
ward pass was not used in the Har-
vard-Williams game, but ! do not
think this means that any team will
ignore the forward pass long. 1t seems
to have given satisfaction in several
other games.
THE quarter back kick seems to
have been popular in all the games.
The net results are in favor OF the new
rules. None Of the western games
was of any importance"
DR.. Sweetland gave his interpreta
ton of the uchdiscussed rule II,
section c. paragraph ]. which excited
so much talk at the New York meet
ing. The rule reads that none of the
five middle players of the line may
drop back from the line OF scrimmage
on the offense unless he is at least five
yards back of the line of scrimmage
when the ball is put in play.
Coach Sweetland declared that he
could see no reason for discussion o.
for the note that there shall be no
shifting of men to evade this rule"
1t has been suggested that center
man may drop back only if he is
kicker, but the Doctor believes that
he may drop back as many times as
desirable as nothing against this is
specifically stated in the rules.
