teams Of both England and Scotland.
Naturally, the first question after cap
turing the world-renowned trophy, was,
which individual member Of the team
should possess it. The team members,

winning out and having his name in
scribed on the. trophy.
A leading shooting journal Of Phila-
delphia, which keeps complete annual
record Of the marksmen Of America,
has given Gilbert slight lead over
Crosby for the highest average during
the last five years. It Is mooted
| question among sportsmen, which of
these two men is the world 3 champion
trap shot. Crosby won the Dupont
world trophy from Gilbert the last
time in 1901, and since then they have
not met in Individual competition.
Gilbert considers his greatest pigeon
shooting to be his feat, one winter
killing 224 out of 225 birds, while shoot
ing from a handicap Of 1898 yards.
He has several times made record OF
from $50 to 100 pigeons.

L|CHTBODY DROPS
OUT OF CHICAGO U
Will Go to Athens to Take Part
in the Olympian
Games.

New York Herald Special Service.
New York, March 10.-The final ar
rangements for the sending Of the
American team to the Olympian games
at Athens have been completed.
It was learned here that the report TO
President Roosevelt stated about $14,-
900 had been pledged and paid TO the
committee to defray the expenses, that
this was ample to defray the expenses
Of the thirty men that were to go,
that they would sail on March 81, that
all Of twenty-nine athletes had been
entered in the various competitions by
cable to insure the entry arriving there
in time, and that beside these twenty
nine, three other names had been en-
tered Of men who would go independ-
emily. These three are: James d.
ightbody Of the University Of Chiea-
60; James D. Connolly Of Boston, and
D. Sullivan Of Butte, Mont.
The latter is the athlete who COM
peted at Portland, Ore, in the ffty-six-
pound weight event. Connolly is the
well -known writer Of fishing stories
and sea tales, who in 1896 won the
triple jump, and is anxious to compete
again. Lightbody is the great middle
distance runner, probably the most ver-
satile in the world, who has made such
remarkable record in the west. He
will compete in the 400, the 800 and the
1,5oo-meter events, and probably in
others.
Lightbody would have been selec-
ton of the American committee to rep
resent this country had it been possible
to get the consent Of the University Of
Chicago authorities to allow him to
participate, but Lightbody was behind
in his studies and had been prohibited
from taking part in athletics there,
and the university refused to allow him
to be absent. He however, decided that
he was so far behind that he could not
make up his work, and that he would
drop out of the university and make
the trip, and in the fall repeat his year.

FRIEND OF DERE;I.ICTS DEAD
New York Herald.

Mu11nuring in his last breath words
of sympathy and solicitude for the der
elicts Of the streets whom he had be-
friended for twenty years and more, the
Rev. Samuel Hopkins Hadley, superin-
tendent Of the Jerry McAuley mission,
at 316 Water street, died in the Presby-
terrain hospital Saturday morning fol-
lowing an operation for appendicitis
performed week ago.
Born In 1912 in Kentucky Mr.. Had
ley was a descendant Of Jonathan Ed
wards, the famous New England divine,
and the Youngest Of six children, one of
whom, Colonel II. n. Hadley, was the
founder Of the church army Of the
Protestant Episcopal church. Coming
to New York in 1879 he became as he
often said himself, confirmed drunk
ard, and remained so until 1882, when
he experienced desire to reform and
fell under the influence Of the McAuley
mission.
He attended the services at the mis-.
sion and with the help of his wife, who
had never deserted him, steadied him
self so much that four years later, at
the request of the trustees, he became
superintendent Of the enterprise.
There he remained for the rest OF
his life, having no other interest, as he
expressed it, than to look after the
"down and outs.' AS he once de-
scribed it, "Water street is place
where drunken men are more welcome
than the sober, the thief more welcome
than the honest man. IF a man comes
to our mission without shoes we give
him pair. If he sells those and buys
whisky and comes back again we give
him another pair. That is the policy
on which we conduct our mission -
His last words, when he died, were
"My poor buns! Who will look after
my poor bums?'

eight weeks of suffering with infamma-

traces on the jovial sportsman whose

Both the hands that have held the gun

is only with much pain that Gilbert is

suffering that he has gone thru, has re-

The Yale varsity nine will be drilled
in complete set of batting, fielding
and base-running signals, something
that no Yale team has had since the
1895 team. Captain O'Brien thinks
that complete set Of signals is not
only a good thing from technical
point of view, but develops the Hasprit
de corps which is SO necessary in a
successful ball team, and also keeps
opponents worried lest something new
or unexpected be sprung on them at
any moment.

A Bas the ,Hammerlock.

Rule e.-The hammerlock which is usually
applied when the combatants are on the floor or
mat, is barred, as 1t is merely vehicle for

Rule 1O.-Butting. sometimes resorted to in
Japanese wrestling, is barred, being simply a
relic Of barbarsm. as

EAR PULLING BARRED,
latest IN WRESTLING
Odd Rules to Govern Hacken
schmidt-Madrali Worlds
Championship Bout.

New York, March 10.-The Russian
Lion and the Terrible Turk will meet
in combat. Champion George Hacken-
schmidt and Ahmed Madrai are to
wrestle in London for the world s
championship, so a despatch from
abroad says, but the most startling part
Of it all is the rules.
Fifteen Of them have been framed
and they are more suitable for dog
fight in this country than a catchas-
catch-can wrestling bout for the best
three falls in five. Biting, scratching
and pulling each others ears are stipu-
lated as being barred, and other specif-
cations are drawn up in a style that
must be truly English.
Obstacles stood in the way Of a
match SO long that they seemed unsur-
mountable, as the Turk wanted to take
any kind of hold he could get. Any
one who saw Hackenschmidt wrestle
here last year would not blame Ma
drali, but the Russian Lion was as stub.
born about giving in to such plan as
he is on the mat. However, the match
was finally made and the following are
the rules to govern:
! Rule 1.-Altho wrestlers are allowed to catch
hold where they please, they must not scratch
main one another by unfair practices.
| Rule 2.-The referee Is invested with fun
power to decide any point which may arise
in the contest not provided for either In the
rules or articles of agreement, and subject t.
| no appeal in a court of law.
Grease Barred, Too.
Rule 8.-The wrestlers must not be rubbed
with grease, resin, or any pernicious drug, ant
may compete either in stockinged feet OF can
| vas shoes and bathing trunks only, should they
elect to do so.
Rule A wrestler is not allowed to pres'
his knees into his opponents stomach, nor II
he allowed to dig his knuckles into his adver
sary's ribs when in holds either outstanding o.
on the floor. Such practices shall be deemed
| foul. The same refers to twisting an oppon
ent's arm in order to cause pain, thus render
ing him helpless, and not with the object O.
throwing him. ~
Rule 5.-Placing a hand or both hands Owe
/ an opponents face and gouging are forbidden
and q wrestler deliberately going down on al
tours without being legitimately thrown to til,
satisfaction of the referee shall be disqualified
the same as in a prizefght In the olden time
| when "going down to avoid'' meant disquali
Acation to the cowardly delinquent.
| Rule 6.-The double Nelson being accounted
! a dangerous maneuver, is barred. 49,.
/ Rule 1.-THE strangle hold, which can seldom
| be used successfully in an outstanding position
| is also barred, as 1t Is useless when tn
| wrestlers are on the door as a means Of Sc
| curing pin fall wiz, two shoulders down a
the same time), but is resorted to with tn
view of rendering an opponent unconscious Will
| he is in most cases lying on the mat face down
4 ward on the floor. .~--..- n sr,..
| Rule ga wrestler is not allowed to get hi
rivals head In chancery and hold 1t there SO a
| to choke him, and altho not forbidden to tax
head hold, his remaining in that position with
out trying to throw his man is foul and merit
disqualification.
