San Francisco, Cal, Sept. S.-For

tight, and some moderate wagers have
been reported, with Cans the favorite
at odds approximately to 5. 1t Is
thought that this activity Is caused
largely by those who took the long
end of the companion betting held
in some poolrooms on the Ketchell
fight
Many Of the poolrooms laid odds on
combinations" giving to 2 against
the chances of both Ketchell and CAM
winning and to 1 against Ketchell ana
Britt winning. Ketchell has a strone1
coast following, and those who played3
him in the combination books now hold
bets on Cans at better odds than they7
possibly could have obtained by wagcr-!
ing on the men individually. Thu
same applies to those who played thu

Maine League as good umpiring as any
bush League of the country has had,

dent of the American League, and, if
suitable arrangements are made. Jim
will handle the Indicator in fast COM
pany once again. Johnson and Has
sett will talk over things in the Hub
this afternoon and. if accepted. Jim's
first game will probably he when De-
troit plays Boston Thursday.
Hassett was in the American League
at one time and he is capable of UNI
pring in class with the bigger
league umpircs any and every day in
the week. The fans will go a long way
and look still longer way into tine
future before they will find a man who
knows the book better or runs a game
more smoothly than Hassett. All the
season the fans have been expecting
bigger things for him and the expected
plum seems about to drop.-Portland

Dublin, Sept. SIT is stated on good
authority that Sir Thomas Upton will
place a challenge for the AMERICAS
cup with the secretary of the Royal
Irish Yacht Club within a fortnight,
and that it Will be sent at once to
the New York Yacht Club. The two
sShamrockS with which Sir Thomas
will compete have been designed for
some months past, and the boats are
actually being built. They will be tried
first on the Clyde and afterward tested
in Dublin Bay.
Their designer is as confident as Sir
Thomas Upton that the new boats
will bring the cup over the Atlantic.
Irish yachtSmem are enthusiastic over
the coming race, but they are not by
any means as confident as the chal-
lenger. They believe that the Amcri-
cans will still keep ahead in the mat

championships are understood ana it is

by the London authorities. there will be

In circular Just issued to rowing men.
the British Olympic Association takes for.
us guide the Henley code, which bars
Iroht entrance as an amateur ANY per-
son VINO IS or has been by trade or en-
PiOyment for wares a mechanic, artisan
duty"
Under this rule. if adhered to. Ameri-
can entries would be barred. for there are
few amateur oarsmcn in this country who
are not engaged in some pursuit for n
living. THIS is one slap at Yankee water
men, than whom there are ne better
spnt.1,smen in the world. but there is stil
another. for the circular, in naming the
conditions governing the handling; of en-
tries. sets forth as follows:
Entries shall he made by the club

inc FIRST instance b. sant:

by these conditions the British Olympic

though 1t allows the national associations
or other countries to handle entries. and
places the collection of entries in the
hands of the American Olympic Commit

nate who shall handle the entries for the

In view of these untoward conditions II
is evident that the British committees
either is afraid of American oarsrnan or
does not want them at the English re-

If the conditions for the athletic events
are framed on the Same lines as for the

ERICANS WIN.
Capture the Palma Trophy Saturday
at Ottawa, Ont.

Ottawa. Ont, Sept. S.--The peep sight
and superior ammunition gave the
United States representatives a COM
fortahlr win i'll a Palma trophy compc-
titlon which took place at IOckliffc
ranges Saturday. The wcathc1 was bril-
liant and the wind was light and
steady. The circumstances, according to
the experts, gave the peep sight every
advantage. and it became a question
not of Workmanship, but of sights. The
Americans scored 1927 ont of possible
1900, with the Canadians second, with
1911
Col Sam Hughes announced after the
match was over that every one of the
teams had beaten the previous record of
1870 for the Palma trophy competitions.
This remarkable performance. o: course,
was due to the exceptional weather.
Col. Hughes. before an immense crowd
of spectators, and Col. ThurSton, after
replying briefly to the complimentary
remarks of the colonel, called for cheers
for the Canadians, the Australians and
the British.
One feature of the match was the re-
markedly good showing of the Austria
lians in the first and second stages, wnen
they were running second to the Ameri-
cans: but they fell away in the third
stage, and finished behind the Canadians.
The surprise of the match was the pad
form of the Britishcrs. Shooting splen-
didly during the week. they We're consid-
cred the most formidable rivals of the
Americans and were expected to make a
close finish of it at least. but this they
utterly failed to do. Such a veteran
marksman as American Sergt. McHaft
missed the target three times. The Erit-
ishers blamed their ammunition.
Earl Gray sent a message to President
Roosevelt congra ttIiating him on the vic
tory of the United States. The governor
general presented tn" trophy to Cen
Drain and Col. Thurston, captain of the
team. He expressed the opinion in do
ing 50 that the United States and Canada
would always be found firing at the same
target.
