officials are qualified by the Amateur Ath-

time ever made by a swimmer amateur or

Marquand Schwartz of the Missouri Ath-

PROBABLE REVIVAL OF
CROSS-COUNTRY RUNNING

NEW YORK, October 2O-Indications
point to revival of cross-country running
this fall, and the sport has taken a de-
c:ded boom in the colleges. Since the for
nation of the Intercollegiate Cross-Country
Association the sport has had steady growth
in popularity. Cornelrs many successes in
this field has spurred on Yale, Princeton,
Harvard, Pennsylvania and Columbia and
determined effort will be made this year
to bring the championship to one of the
eastern colleges. With the exception OF
one year Yale was successful, Cornell has
carried off every championship meet of the
Intercollegiate Cross-Country Association.
1t was largely due to the Ithacans' sue
cess in the long distance running events
that they won the intercollegiate track and
field championships last May. Unlike the
other colleges, Cornell does not drop cross.
country running after the championship
meeting, but 1t is kept alive at Ithaca by
paper chases and hare and hounds until
early In the spring. This season Cornell
will start out with the nucleus of a strong
team and expects to win the championship
again.
Princeton will revive the University
Cross-country Club, and will devote special
attention to long-distance runners A Gun
has been offered for the athlete scoring
the most points in a series of cross-country
runs. Mike Murphy has already begun
preparations for the cross-country season,
and has some promising material at Penn
sylvania to work on. Columbia is also In
line this fall, and will offer special prizes
for cross-country running with the hope OF
bringing out the long-distance runners. Yale
and Harvard have had their cross-country
runners out for the past ten days and ex-
pect TO place strong teams in the field
An EFFORT will be made to have national
cross-country course laid out at Van Cort-
landt Park, where the intercollegiate run
can be held. Should this project fail ii is
hoped that one of the many country clubs
on Long Island will lay out a course for
cross-country running.

SLIGO, WINNER OF THE
KENTUCKY FUTURITY

To Robert Aull. st. Louis, Mo, belongs
the honor of breeding the winner of the
1906 Kentucky Futurity for three-year-
old trotters. Silico first saw the light of
day however. In Kentucky. When the colt
was quite small he and his dam passed
10 the well-known horseman, Glen Beachey,
jr., Lexington. He in turn sold him to the
well-known driver and trainer. Brook Cur

in him to Charles Marvin, the most noted
colt trainer in the world. Marvin started
him in three races as a two-year-old In
n purse event at the Lexington fair he took
the third and fourth heats in 2.19A and
222. His second start was in the junior
division of the 1908 Kentucky Futurity, in
which he was third to Lightsome and Gov

1900 in 214A 21SiI

REAL ESTATE BOWLING
LEAGUE AVERAGES

After a most successful season of 1866
the Real Estate Bowling League of the
District is going to try to make this year
just as successful. After just two weeks
of bowling the Columbia team the cham
pions of last year, is again seen in the
lead with an advantage of 1888 points from
its next opponent, and if the bowlers keep
up their good work this year as they did
last they will give the others a good run
for first honor for the season of 1867.
Following are the averages:

of Dunton Wilkes, which took place at
Cedar Falls Iowa, September 81, and the
death of Alcantara, 2.23, which took place
at LOveland Ohio, October /, the two most
conspicuous sons of the immortal George
are Baron Wilkes. 2.1S. and Wilkes Boy
2.24A. Like many of the get of the sons
of George Wilkes, Dunton Wilkes sons and
daughters took to the pace. His fastest at
that gait Veta Wilkes, owned by the
Buttonwood Stock Farm, Gettysburg, Pa,

Kate, was by son of imported Margrave,
while Alcantaras dam was full of running
blood. his dam, Alma Mater, being by
Mambrino Patchin. Beside KasSel and
Veta Wilkes Dunton Wilkes was the sire
of fifteen other trotters and PAGERS, while
Alcantaras list includes 1873 and
daughters with standard records, 60 sons
that were the sire of 295 performers, and
50 daughters that were the dams of "a
standard performers.
Alcantara-was full brother Of Alcyone,
l.27. sire of Mckinney, 2.11A, which in
turn is the sire of Sweet Marie, 2O2. AS a
progenitor of extreme speed at the trot or
pace IT is doubtful whether the world ever
saw the equal of Alycone, which died in
his twelfth year upward of fifteen years
ago. 1t has been a mystery to many people
why SO many sons and daughters of George
Wilkes have paced and produced PAGERS.
But it can be explained by the state of
fact that George Wilkes himself was
double-gaited, and If he had been trained at
that gait would undoubtedly have gone
fast. PAGERS were unpopular in those days;
no one wanted one, and so George Wilkes
was made to go at the trot. George Wilkes

complainant to have been responsible

Fair Criticism a Little Late.

Senators Bailey and Penrose-the
one in the capacity of an honest
critic, the other as chairman of the
Committee on Postoffices and Post
Roads-took occasion the other day
TO protest against the appropriation
I of $192, 100000 for the maintenance
of the postal service. The partieu-
lar ground of their objection was
that a considerable quantity of
printed matter was transported at
loss, and the junior Senator from
Texas cited sporting" weekly as
an example of the publications
which are carried by the Govern
ment ''for the good of the country -
These gentlemen are on the right
side. They are also trifle late
getting there. The fight against the
abuse of the rate for second class
matter has been in progress four
years. Congress could have ended
il, and ended IL in the right way, at
the very outset. But il did not.
Through its negligence, or indiffer-
ence, or lack of sympathy. an in
definite, awkward, ana obscure law
has been allowed to embarrass the
POstoffice Department all that time.
Everyone save the postal officials
by which phrase are meant espe-
cially the present Postmaster Cen
eral and the present Third Assist
ant-seems 70 have been afraid TO
tackle the subject All that the de-
partment aimed TO do was TO limit
the benefit of the cent-a-pound rate
to the publications which Sena-
tor Bailey evidently thinks should
have it,
When the fight began that rate
was enjoyed by publishers of row
els, sheet music, catalogues, puzzles,
fake papers printed for the sole
purpose of advertising certain com
pounds and premiums of every sort.
There was no purpose to shut down
on legitimate magazines and genuine
newspapers. Yet half of Congress
has maintained an attitude of direct
antagonism to the reform, and the
other half has been equally con
spicuous for its Indifference.
In the meantime the Postmaster
General has arranged for COM
mission which shall represent every
body interested in this privilege and
made ready TO intrust TO it the re-
vision of the present law 1t is
work which Congress ought TO have
done long ago 1t is work on which
Congress must pass Judgment be
fore it can become effective. And
it is a great pity that such work
could not have had the valuable
aid of Senators Bailey and Penrose
from the first.
