COLUMBIA IS STILL SORE
President Butler Says There L
Nothing Doing in
Football.

New York. Nov. 10.-Letters which
have recently passed between the STU
dent board of representatives of Co
lumbia university and President Mich
olas Murray Butler of the university
relating TO football were made public
yesterday. The student board wrote
that it had been decided at a meeting
of that body to petition the president TO
permit a series OF interclass games of
football under the new rules to be
played this fall. because the sport had
been fundamentally altered since last
year.
President Butler replied that the re-
quest was beyond his power TO grant
because the Intercollegiate game of
football was abolished i'm Columbia in
consequence of the action of the COM
mittee on student organization and of
the university council. President But
Ter further said i'm his reply that those
responsible for the univerSity's action
I'm the matter "are sincerely convinced
that neither the game of intercollegiate
football. nor the influences that sur
round il should again be introduced at
Columbia. There are many and admira-
bic forms of sport, more interesting
more manly and more healthful than
intercollegiate football"

Baseball produces more cranks and
makes otherwise sane men do more
fdiotfc things than any other thing in
theN wOrlG-except love. One of the
funniest exhibitions of baseball feeling
ever given came the Sunday night after
Comfskey's White Stockings had
cinched their claim to the champion
ship of the world.
The scene was In Fred Pfeffer's cafe,
and the first actor was a little man,
well dressed. with half a tide on He
was gloomy, detected. disappointed,
heart-broken over the defeat OF the
Cubs. The full force OF the thing was
sinking In upon him. He was trying
to figure out how a team which, on
paper, ranks fifth in the American
league, could wallop a team which out
classed all the other teams in the Ma
tional league. His gloom pervaded the
entire cafe. He stood shaking his head.
muttering to himself. and mourning.
Pfeffer came along and said:
"Cheer up!'
like dog
We'll" remarked Fred, "why don't
you act like a dog, them
I'll do that" said the little man. He
backed out of the door and an instant
later, came crawling under the swing
ing doors on hands and knees.
Now bark" said Pfeffer.
Bow. WOW. wow" barked the little
man, disnally.
Play dead" said Pfeffer.
The little man rolled over closed his
"All right" said Pfeffer, laughing
you've proved it,
About five minutes later in came a
big handsomely dressed man. trying to
drown his grief over the disappoint-
ment. Every moment he broke out into
profanity, cursing Chance, abusing
Brown, swearing at Culbach.
"Cut that out" ordered the little
man. You don't feel any worse about
it than do, but went stand for your
abusing them"
What's a fellow going to do to show
how bad he feels?*' asked the big fel-
low. piteously.
why, I felt like a dog and they told
me to act like a dog. and 1 did"
You did?' asked the big man, seri-
ously. 1 feel that way myself"
Then get down and play dog
The big man went out, crawled in
under the swinging doors. barked,
played dead, rolled over and begged,
while twenty White Sox admirers
yelled.

baseman. is one of the best kidders and
joshers in the business, and he lined

Pfeffer is small, why. dark and sharp
eyed with small mustache. Issy is
a foot taller. wide In proportion, blond,

errors around second base. and then

to meet you, Issy.'

bell, as he selected a bat to make his
fourth double, that all around the cir
cult people came to me and said: You
look just like Fred Pfeffer? He picked
up the bat and started toward the
plate. adding: And field like him -
A couple of days after the Sox had
cinched the championship 1 dropped in
at the South Side grounds. John was
there, wiping away the traces of bat
tie. and the only other person in sight
was Issy. l discovered him under the
grand stand. staggering under a load
of bats, and followed him along under
the stand until he dumped the cord
wood into pile. Then he dragged out
bushel basket filed with old practice
balls, and began packing balls and
bats into big dry goods box.
What the dickens are these. Issy?''
1 asked.
Balls and bats calmly remarked
the Terrible Swede.
What are you going to do with
them?'
III tell you," remarked Issy, seat
ing himself on the edge of the box. Il
began collecting them in July and saw
ing them up. I knew every one in
that was used in the worlds champion
ship series.

The slickest thing ever did in
baseball remarked Frank Chance
during a tanning bee, was when l won
a game of ball for Sullivan, Ind, with a

My bare hand was smeared with vase

Of the bat. The first time that fellow

AUTO MADE With
ARMOR PLATE
New Yorker Builds Machine to
Take Care of Stray Wag-
0nS in Its Path.

j. Harvey Ladew. a millionaire leather
dealer of New York, had constructed for
himself an armored automobile at a cost
of $4,000, which is the first vehicle OF its
kind built for private use, so far as
known, in any city in the world. A half
inch plate of chilled steel protects the
rear and side panels of the car from the
axleS up to within three feet of the hood.
The sides of the seat of the chauffeur are
similarly safeguarded, so that all parts
of the car-that is 10 say, that would be
the vital parts in a WarShip-are proof
against ramming.
The French and German armies have
what are known as war automobiles, but
treSsed with steel plates TO resist shot and
she'll Mr.. Ladew's auto car has not been
built to defy bullets. but to turn aside
the shafts or poles Of trucks or wagons
The vehicle complete weighs a little
more than two and half tons and is
probably. the heaviest automobile OF It's
size in the world. The steel plate in the
rear and on the sides Is covered with a
highly polished veneer of malachite green.
So far as outward appearance goes. the
vehicle does not differ from the ordinary
cab auto, except in the elegance OF Its

RYAN WANTS BIG PURSE
Offers to Fight Joe Thomas Before
Reaches Colma
Club.

Tommy Ryan, the ex-middleweight
champion, has consented to meet Joe
Thomas, the indicated California pu-
gilist before the Colma (Cal) A. c.,
providing Matchmaker Billy Roache
will guarantee purse of $4,000 for the
battle.
Ryan realizes that a bout between
him and Thomas would draw big
money out on the coast. and on that
account he claims the purse he asks for
is not too large. He says he will not
fight for any smaller purse and would
sooner not box at all. as he is well sup
piled with money just now.
1t is not likely that Matchmaker
Roache will hang up such large
purse. although fight between Ryan
and Thomas on Thanksgiving day aft
ernOon at Colma would attract one of
the biggest crowds that ever witnessed
a fight in California.

cations of a great eeplechaser-speed
and ability to carry weight Racing be-
tween jumps merely consists of a sue
cession of short sprints and any horse
that can carry weight and has speed can
more than earn his living between the
flags. OF course, he must be able to
jump, but as horses that are nimble on
their feet usually jump we'll Roseben
should take to that part of the game cas-
liz and become an adept after little
schooling.
Some OF our greatest steeplechase horses
have been Sprinters pure and simple. Bal
ldrat could scarcely run more than five
furlongs on the flat, but through the
field frequently went two and one-half
den judiciously in the rear during the
early stages of a race, Ballarat's great
speed was utilized at the end and he fair
IL smothered his opponents in the sprint
from the last jump to the winning post.
Ballarat was never the racehorSe that
Roseben is. The latter has earned the
o. America. Up to seven furlongs he is
unquestionably the fastest horse in the
country.
Seven furlongs is not the limit of his
eighth easily and defeat many fast horses.
With champions. however. the latter dis
lance is too long for him.
Roseben Better Than John M. P.
Roseben is just the type to make a
champion steeplechaser. If he were in
England or France turfmen who are in
terested in this particular branch of the
sport would pay $4,000 for him in order
to race him through the fields. John NJ.
p, the English steeplechaser is reported
TO have cost his owner, Hugh Grant
Brown, so. coo. John NJ. p. is not to be
compared with RoSeben as a racehorse.
The latterS big frame. which enables him
to carry 80 pounds successfully on the
flat, would be a big advantage to him in
the steeplechase courses. for he would
handle the big weights in vogue in this
style of racing with great ease. When
such horses as Hylas can win champion
ships with more than LEO pounds, 17G
pounds or even $50 pounds would seem
merely q feather to RoSeben.
AT SheepShead Bay, where many turf
men were congregated today, the princi-
pal subject of discussion was the proba-
BILE action the jockey club stewards would
take against Jockey Herman Radtke- 1t
was the opinion of the majority of owners
and trainers that the officials of the gov
erning turf organization would not rule
the boy off for his handling of Tommy
Waddell, but would punish him by term
of suspension for at least a month.

Denver, Nov 10.-Denver's future as

bright in the opinion of Gil Curry. the

man of Lexington, Ky, who stopped
over in Denver yesterday on his way

campaign at Emeryville.
Geographically. Denver is an ideal

gion and with the Montana tracks
would make an ideal headquarters for
an intermOuntain circuit. The climatic
adVanta ges for the training of horses
for eastern campaign IS another ira
portant feature. The weather in the
early summec is generally of the best
kind for racing and a meeting Of some
little duration next season should eaten

prising Denver. the largest Colorado
cities, possibly Salt Lake and the towns
of the present Montana circuit wOull
furnish good racing from early sum-
mer until the fall and would be sub

Outside of New York, Kentucky and
Colorado the racing game does not look
any too promising. In Kentucky rae
