McGOvERN'S MIND AFFECTED.
PuEiIist I'm Hospital, and May BE
Sent to Insane Asylum.

Special 10 The Washington Herald.
Brooklyn, n Y, Dec 4-Over indul-
gence in intoxicants IS what the physi-
clans In the Kings County Hospital de-
clare tonight 10 be the cause Of Terry
AIoGovern, the pugiiist. being committed
to that institution for observation.
Should the pride Of Brooklyn show
no improvement in his present condi-
ton. it is thought likely that he may
have to be committed to an insane
asylum
Friends Of the Brooklyn boy are in
clined to the belief that his mental
breakdown is complete. and if such
should happen to be the case, the ring
will lose one of its most popular
fighters
Terry's condition has resulted in the
calling off of his match with young
Corbett. the only boy who ever took
his measure, scheduled to be held In
Baltimore the last week Of January.
McGovern has practically been off
color. mentally, for some time, but be-
fore his recent fight at Philadelphia
with his cOnquerer, he seemed to have
regained his health.
His actions during the Benning
meeting a Washington were the talk
Of the town. and to-days doings re-
suited in the young fighter being taken
10 the hospital for observation.

ECKERSALL TOPS EN- ALL.
"Greatest Football Player that Ever

With the passing of the 1906 football
season ends the career of Walter Ecker

ball world, who graduates from Chicago

been chosen as a member of the All
American team. and critics in all sections
have been almost unanimous in giving
him the iaurels for individual playing
He lacks none of the qualifications of

He's a star kicker. In fact, he is the
best in this line in recent years-ba-
none-and outshines even Herschberger,
Of whom Chicago still boats He has
never been excelled as a field goal kicker.
He is fast. His trainers claim ne would
have been a ten-SecOnd man had he taken
an interest in running. As II is. he comes
mighty close to that mark without any
special training in that line.
He is "heady." There are few captains
who can boast of the generalship he has
displayed in handling the Chicago team.
he proved his worth when the new rules
came. Under the old rules he had been
lauded as the mainstay Of his team. When
the change came Eckersall was more of
q factor than ever.
The arrival of EckersaII at Chicago
marked the revival of football there.
Last year mis- team won the Western
championship.
That she lost to Minnesota this year IS
attributed to the fact that the game was
played in a rain and the ball was in
such condition he could not kick.
Here is what Coach Stagg, the former
Yale star SAYS of him:
He Is the greatest football player l
ever saw" And Stagg is in as good a
position to judge as any football player
or coach in America.

DEATH CLAIMS Is JOCKIES.
Many Fatal Accidents on Track in
Season just Closed.

In the racing year just closed in the
East, but being continued on Western
and Southern tracks, sixteen jockeys met
death on the turf, a gruesome record
and frightful average The record ap-
plies to racing throughout the United
States, and may yet be increased before
the end Of the year, with racing going on
at New Orleans. Los Angeles. Oakland.
and elsewhere.
1t is remarkable, too. that the majority
of the fatalities was confined to fiat
racing, in view Of what is regarded as
the more hazardous branch of the sport,
steeplechasing. Comparatively few Of the
riders of timbeT-tOppers met with death,
although a number were injured. Only
two riders Of steplechasers were killed
in the racing year.
Several jockeys died natural deaths

his belief that Tommy Burns struck him
intentionally in the fifth round of the big
battle, when the Philadelphian's nose was
broken.
That is all nonsense" Jack said last
Saturday. "A man is liable to get that
any time he enters the ring.
Burns and O'Brien met at Tom Nc

talked over plans for exhibiting the NOV

O'Brien is now reported to have chal-

have promptly accepted. This story
doesn't fit In with the one previously sent
out from Los Angeles that Burns and

would go on the road with the fight films

Burns can have plenty of fights If he
wants them. A year ago Tommy, who
used 10 hght under the name OF Noah
Brusso. was practically unheard of in the
East Then he came 10 view by defeat
ing Marvin Hart. This caused him 10 be
matched to fight Bob Fitzsimmons AT Es-

vented the bout Tommy then remained
in idleness until he met O'Brien and
proved that his victory over Hart was
not fluke
Now Burns has been offered a match
with Jack Johnson at the National a c..
IL Philadelphia. Sam Fitzpatrick, mana
ger of Johnson, is eager TO accept the
offer and IL is up to Burns.
Johnson. owing TO his color, has a hard
time in finding opponents About the

he can secure no reputation. Johnson's 5

WANTS TO PLAY RICHMOND.
If Game Is Arranged It Will Be
Played at Rushville-Other
Games.

Principal Ellabarger of high
school, has received letter from the
Rushville high school, which states
that, as soon as the baseball season
arrives, it would like to have a game
with the local high school nine.
As there is plenty of good material
in high school for a strong team, a
game may be arranged. If played
at all, the game will probably have
to be played at Rushville, because the
athletic association of high school is
not financially strong enough to sup
port baseball team and a track
team.
The students almost all prefer
track athletics to baseball, when it
comes to deciding between the two.
However, baseball team will be or
gained and if no out of town games
can be arranged, games will at least
be arranged with the Kibbey team.

BATTLE OF MARATHON.

The Most Decisive Day In the HIS.
tory Of the wsrld.
The single day in the worlds history
which was frauSht with the most tro-
mendous consequences to mankind was
the day on which the battle Of Nara
then was fought. The handful Of tiny
states that inhabited Greece had dsyel-
oped faculties which Indicated that
man had advanced another stage to-
ward the highest ideals.
Foremost among those Httis nations
was Athens, which state, too. contained
the germs Of human freedom. It was
the forerunner Of the democraeies Of
the world. But the very existence Of
Athens and Greece was threatened by
the huge barbaric empire Of Persia.
Darius had sent out his hordes Of war
riors to add the Grecian states to his
vast dominions. Face to face his forces
met the Athenians on the plains Of
Marathon.
Hitherto invincible in the field, the
Persians looked upon the little army
opposed to them with contempt. The
Greeks themselves hesitated to hazard
a battle with the conquerors of the
world. Their generals debated the
question, and the decision to fight the
Persians was caused by the eloquence
Of the immortal Miltiades. He led his
10000 Greeks against the Persian host
and gained decisive victory. The glo-
rious day of Marathon beat back the
advancing tide Of eastern despotism
and Darbarism and saved the freedom
and civilization of the western world.
