GREAT SWIMMERS ALL YOUNG
Majority of the Recordbreakers Are
Under Twenty.

A noticeable feature in connection
with the majority of swimmers in the
record-breaking class is that they are
under 20 years Of age. Nineteen years
appears to be the average age at which
swimmers are in their prime, and few
worlds records have been broken Of
late by men much older than this.
Kieran, the Australian wonder, the
greatest swimmer the world has ever
seen, was but 18 years old at his death.
Many of his world s records were made
when he was much younger. G. M.
Daniels, the crack New York A. c.
star, who holds several worlds marks,
is but 20 years of age, and David Bill
ington, the English crack-whos also
holds some of the unbeaten marks-is
10 years old. The Central star, II. j.
Handy, who has been startling the
swimming world of late with his sue
cess in smashing records, is but 10 years
Of age.

GEORGE TEBEAU AFTER
NOISY BILL CLARKE
Tenders New Yorker Head Job with
the "Blooz.'

New York, Jan. ,27.-George Tebeau,
"czar of the minor leagues owner Of
the Louisville and Kansas City teams
Of the American association, the Denver
club Of the Western league, and perhaps
of one or two more minor baseball or
CARNATIONS, has handed Bill Clarke Of
the giants the managership of the Kan
sas City "Blooz" on a silver platter,
and Bill will take a chance if he can Sc
cure his release from New York.
Clarke is wintering in Baltimore. He
is in correspondence with McGraw on
the Kansas City proposition and ex.
poets to receive a favorable reply. 1t
has been understood ever since last fall
that Clarke would not be with the
giants another season. Toledo wanted
him, but Tebeau offers the best propo
sition. IF Clarke has full charge hi
should improve the Kansas City club
as he is hustler and knows ball play

MINNEAPOLIS MAN HAS
FINE AUTO INVENTION
Alexander M. Lindsay, Jr., Improves on
49,. Carburetor.

Alexander M. Lindsay, Jr., an en-
ployee of the Minneapolis Dry Goods
company, has perfected an invention
that bids fair to revolutionize certain
part of the "innards' of the automo-
bile. Tho not a mechanic, nor con-
nected in any way with automobiles,
other. than in the capacitw Of an ardent
owner, he saw the need Of an improve
ment in the carburetor Of an automo-
bile, a part which is as important to
the chug wagon as the handspring in a
watch. His plan, which has stood
difficult tests is designed to feed better
gas, more regularly, simply and eco
ironically than the present carburetors.
To describe, technically, the invention
would require skilled mechanic and
several columns Of phrases that the
layman could never understand. But a
patent has been issued to Mr.. Lindsay,
tests have proved the discovery valu-
able, and it is expected. that ready
market will be found for the fruit of
Mr.. Lindsay's ingenuity.

make it appeal to the sporting instinct
but not enough to class it as a dan
gerous or brutal pastime. So
Not Spectator Game.
Hockey is not a spectator IS game, as
the fact that it is played in the open
air in cold weather will keep away all
but those personally Interested in. the
sport This fact is far from being a
drawback as it is an assurance that the
game alwayswill be one played for sport
and not for the mere sake Of winning,
and will cut off all chances Of profess
sionalism. . ri
Tho there is no organized hockey
league this winter, the outlook for the
future of the game is promising. Six
independent teams and several high
school and club teams are playing, and
are gaining many converts, SO that with
the opening of the season next winter
there will be a. large field Of players
from which to organize teams.
| The present Independent teams are
the Lake Shores, Glens, Harriets,
Eagles, Wanderers and Iroquois. Cen
trail and East high schools and the Min.
ikahda club also have teams in the
field.
The game, while difficult enough to
be interesting, is easy. to understand
It is descendant Of the old-fashioned
shinney,' played by teams of seven
men each. A rubber puck, which is
| showed instead of struck, replaces the
battered tin can Of the old game, and
the sideboards Of the rink permit bank
shots not unlike those in billiards. II
team work the game resembles basket
ball. The necessary equipment includes
good skates, stout shoes, shinguard:
and supply of sticks.
! Cleve A. Bennewitz, who is the lead
er of the hockey interest in Minneapo
lis, has played the game for eigh
years and says that he has neve
thought of quitting it. For six year
he was center point on the team at Ar
gyle, MINI. This team played all thr,
the northern part Of the state and in
; vaded Canada without losing singh
game in six years. During the last tw
seasons he has been right forward wit
the Lake Shores.

Chicago, Jan: 27.-Louisville has at
last outlined it's plans for holding the
next bowling tournament and shown
the way it intends to use two extra
alleys and three more days which were
granted by the American Bowling con
gress.
The extra accommodation, it is fig
ured, represents an increase over the
Milwaukee tournament of 40 clubs,
$50 doubles and some 500 individuals.
Secretary H. F. Smithy of the Louis
Vile Bowling Tournament association
is conservatively figuring on 800 teams,
with the others in proportion.
The following cities in addition have
each promised one team: Memphis,
Nashville, New Orleans, Atlanta, Lit
tie Rock, Mobile, Montgomery, Biz
nlingham, Jacksonville, Fla, and Sa'
vannah.
Where state is given the estimate
is in addition to that specified from
any state already mentioned in the
list. This last shows 262 hve-men en-
tries, with such points as San Fran
cisco, Seattle, st. Paul, Minneapolis,
Denver, Omaha, Detroit and other I'M
portant towns and cities omitted, from
which no word has been heard as yet.

as a trainer, and also a fortune, as the
owner Of a strong racing stable.
One of the yearlings in the lot, for
which no one would offer bid, was
the now 5-year-old bay colt, Bear
catcher. by st. George-Sallie McAllis-
ter. This colt has been racing thruout
the winter, and is considered the racing
king Of California. Another in the
string was Military Man, as were Buc-
cancer, st. George, Jr., st. Noel and
Lord Wadsworth. @
Are Still Winning.
The yearlings were shipped back to
Kentucky, and shortly afterward they
were sold for good sum to the wife
Of Garnet Ferguson, whom the young
turfman married while his father was
doing the starting at the old bay dis
trict track near San Francisco.
All the money which was paid for the
horses was won back when Bearcatchel
was 2-year-old, and the horse also won
a lot Of money for the young turfman
as a 3-year-eld, winning eight races
including the September stakes. Last
summer this good colt was brought east
by Ferguson, but he did not do well
being on the ailing list, and the triI
was fna ncial failure.
Since going to California this winter
the colt has rounded to his old form
and is winning many races for hi!
owner, who is reported to be away
ahead on the season. The colt is nov
in his best form, and it is probable tina
Ferguson may again come east this sea

on the first Monday in February, in
charge Of election officers appointed by
the athletic board of control. In most
other particulars the new constitution is
similar to the old one, but the latter in
