MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL

Before another issue of THE
ADVOCATE is made, Christmas with
all it's gladness for the little ones
will have passed. 1t is season of
rejoicing and family reunions; a
season when mems hearts are soft
ened toward their fellowmen, and
a season when much kindness flows
that will bring fruits in after years.
Amid syour rejoicing remember
the new corners among you-those
who are separated form their kin
dred and old friends for perhaps
the first Christmas in their lives;
help to make them happy; let them
know that those they are are to
dwell among are their friends, and
start at this season to build up
friendships that will be lasting. If
there are any among you that lack
the good things of the season, re-
member them in as substantial a
manner as is possible. Do not let
any 90 forgotten at fhis glad sea-
son when the glad message, "Peace
on earth, goodwill to men," is
brought home to US again.
May your Christmas be a very
happy one.

THE HORSES
ABOUT LOU DILLON
Veterinary Says He Doped Her and He is Called a Fakir and His
 Statement Ridiculed.

San Francisco, Feb 16.--Dr A. K. Fehr, veterinarian for the Memphis Trotting Horse association, has made an affidavit here in which he asserts that at the instigation of Murray Howe he doped Lou Dillon, and thus prevent ed the mare from winning the race with Major Delmar. In his affidavit he says:
 After the first heat between Major Delmar and Lou Dillon vas sum- moned by Murray Howe in great hurry. Howe seemed excited, and said that Lou Dillon had an attack of 'thumps.' I went to the stall, and Howe, who was the personal represen- tative of Billings, directed me to treat the mare for 'thumps.' examined her and found nothing wrong except nerv- Ousness, natural after a hard race. Howe insisted that some medicine should be given. so gave belladonna. the drug usually administered in such cases. It is commonly known that bel ladonna will deaden any animal and kill speed. Therefore, acting under or ders. I administered an abnormal ana unusual dose of the drug, which was sufficient to kill the speed of the strongest and fastest horse in the world. Under the circumstances 1t was impossible for Lou Dillon to win the Memphis race.'

"Fehr was never in the employ of Billings, and I don't remember seeing him in Memphis at all in the cup contest year." said the senior Howe.

WRESTLING ONE MORE FIZZLE
Billy Cnaki of Bridgeport Quit in Hi: Match With O'Connell- l.
 Kelly and Kehoe.

Why did Billy Cnaki quit iIr his wrestling match with Ed O'Connell of New Haven last night? That is the question the few hundred sports who were present in City hall asked then- selves and are still asking themselves and each other today. There was hi very apparent reason why he should quit. The match was not grueling one and could not be compared With the rough work of the Cnnk and Swanson match. Cnaki was not in jured and the holds that OConnell tried to put on him did no harm. No hammerlocks were attempted and about the only grips that the New Ha- vener tried to put on the Bridgeporter were quarter and half-Nelsons. scissors and crotch holds. There was no fierce onslaught from either side and yet Cnaki deliberately quit after wrestling for one hour and twelve minutes. 1t was the biggest kind of surprise when after Cnaki had struggled toslhs feet he pushed O'Connell away from him and stepped toward his corner. His manager, Dick Howell. was as much surprised as anyone could have been under such circumstances. and to the people present he announced that Cnaki had quit without advice from him and that hereafter he was through with him. The only excuse that Cnakl gave was that fhe mat was too hard and he ald not want to he slammed about the ring by O'Connell any long CT. It was either case of "coh feet or something else. but charitably we will dub it .'cold feet and let it go at that.
 Financially the tournament was not what was looked for. Something seemed to have cast blight on the tourna- ment and the enthusiasm also was missing. The preliminary match be tween Dan Pickett of this city and Herbert Hartley of Massachusetts Was all right while it lasted. It was ex- pected that the Waterbury boy would have a picnic in throwing the smaller lad from the Bay state, but he ran up against a surprise for Hartley almost succeeded in putting the local boy to the mat. Dan saved himself by pure strength alone. Hartley displaye'l some new moves never seen on the mat here before and he had the local boy guessing throughout. Eickett was aggressive, however, and tried hard to get fall himself. but was unsuc- cessful.
 O'Connell and Cnaki both looked trained to the hour when they came on for the final contest. They only fiddled on their feet few minutes when O'Connell put his man under and began systematic attack to pue the Brldgeporter down. Once or twice Cnaki got on top. but he was unable to work any serious disadvantage to the instructor at Yale. Cnaki did not work with the determination that he did in his match with Swanson. His old aggressiveness was gone and he ap- peared to be different Cnaki from the one that gave Swanson such a grueling. The end came when he de- liberately quit without any noticeable reason. Jack Heating, the referee, awarded the decision to O'Connell. and the latter made speech in which he challenged the world at 13S pounds. and the sports slowly wended their way homeward, once more bemoaning the sad ending of the wrestling carni- val.

THE DIAMOND
END OF SESSION
National and American Leagues Conclude Business and Make
 a Few Changes.

New York, Feb 16.-Both the Amer- ican league and the National league of base ball clubs completed the bus. ness of their spring meeting yesterday. The American league adjourned with out a future date. but the National league agreed to meet again June l9. The idea of summer meeting is q new one, and was proposed by J. D. Robison of St Louis. It is to be an ex- pertinent during the coming summer, and is designed to take up such matters as may arise between the beginning of the season and the date set for meet ing. The principal item of news that came out of the meetings of the leagues yesterday was the schedule e. the National league. The conflicting dates had already become known witE the announcement of the American league schedule.
 The National league season opens both in the east and west April F, on which day Boston will play at Brook lyn, New York at Philadelphia, Chica- go at Cincinnati, Pittsburg at St Louis. The season closes in the east on Octo- ber 6, Philadelphia playing at Brook lyn and Boston at New York. In the west the season closes on the day fol lowing, Pittsburg playing at Cincin- nati and Chicago at St Louis. The following umpires were appointed by the National league: Henry ODay, Robert Emslie, !. E. Johnstone. Will liam Klem, w. B. Carpenter and J. H. Conway. Carpenter and Conway are new members of the staff, the former coming from the Southern league. and the latter from the Eastern league. The National league passed resolu- tion prohibiting visiting managers, of ficials or players from issuing passes on foreign grounds after the beginning of the championship season of 1906. The National league constitution was amended in the matter of the waiver of players by clubs. Hereafter any player held by club has to be cleared of the list within ten days after the beginning of the season. The players that are retained within the season may be held for thirty days. The pur- pose of the change is to prevent clubs from getting waivers on men and hold ing them indefinitely.
 Among the amendments to a num- Der of base ball rules reported to the two leagues by a joint rules commit tee was one to rule 47, to make it read: "A bunt is a legally batted ball not swung at but met with the bat and tapped slowly within the infield by the batsman. If the attempt to bunt results in foul. not legally caught. q strike shall be called by the umpire"
 The change merely defines the bunt more particularly than heretofore. The national board of the minor leagues met during part of the afternoon. No business outside of routine matter was transacted. The board will meet agair today for a final session.

0'Rourke Will Give the Phila- delphia Promoters a Taste of
 Their Own Medicine.

We are going to fight those fellows in Philadelphia who got out the in junction preventing our opening at the Tuxedo club in Delaware county" said Tom O'Rourke last night, "and 1 feel safe in saying that it will not be long before l can positively announce the date for our first boxing show.
 "I talked with Billy Recap and Dick Kain. the men who are interested with me, yesterday" he continued, "and to- day l got special delivery letter. They both advise that we fight until the last ditch and feel confident that we will win out in the long run. Yes terday nearly every sporting writer on the Philadelphia papers took our side of the thing Nobody is going to sup port such a hoggish stand as that taken by these six-round club man. agers.r
 The management of the Tuxedo Athletic club. according to 0'Rourke and Billy Recap. who is in Philadel- phia. will take the matter right on through the courts and if they are de- feated legally they will show how the law is being violated several times a week in Philadelphia in the holding Of the slx-round fights. They claim that the state laws do not prohibit the hold ing of six. ten. fifteen or twenty-round fights so long as no decision is given by the referee.
 What is sauce for tho goose is sauce for the gander." said o'Rourke, ''and cannot see why we should sub init to such discrimination"
 Billy Recap. who is in Philadelphia, said:
 "when the Tuxedo club get through there will either be unlimited bouts in Delaware county or it will be felony to put on the gloves under any pretense. No one can blame the Tuxedo men for getting even. It's human nature. Boxing contests of fif- teen rounds duration were tolerated in the county last spring. and nothing was said about them
