KNOX TO DEFEND HIM
Mother Offers Unlimited Bail
 For Tombs Prisoner.
DELNASOUT lyDO'REILLYIS CHARGE
Wife at Second Trial VIII Repeat Her Story of Causes That Led to Staying of Stanford White
 by Harry Thaw.

 l Her Story of Causes That Led to Staying of Stanford White
 by Harry Thaw.
 NEW YORK, April 16-United States l Senator Philander c. Knox, formerly Pittsburg lawyer, is to defend Harry Thaw In his next trial, according to q decision reached by Mrs. William Thaw, his mother.
 In the event of Harry Thaw being placed on trial for his life second time Evelyn Nesbit Thaw will go on 1 the stand and repeat the remarkable story she told in the first proceeding. | This is announced by Daniel O'Reilly, who is now in full charge of Thaws defense as well as acting counsel for l Thaw's wife.
 The latest report says Mrs. William Thaw has offered bail to the extent of l $1,000,0OO for the immediate freedom ] of her son from the Tombs. Of all of Thaw's counsel who con ducted his defense in the trial just closed only one man, Daniel O'Reilly, has been retained by the young Pitts burg millionaire. Dolphin Michael Del mas, Clifford w Hartrldge and John B. l Gleason have been dismissed. A. Rus- sell Peabody is for the present acting for Thaw in subordinate capacity. 1 The surprising announcement was made that not only is Daniel O'Reilly Thaw's present attorney of record, but that he has been for. several weeks. Coupled with this fact comes the in formation that Thaw practically de- l posed Mir. Delmas after the sessions of 1 the lunacy commission. when Delmas called Dr. Allan McLane Hamilton to l the stand
 Mir. O'Reilly himself is authority for l this statement.
 l Not only am the only one of the ,, five lawyers Thaw has re-engaged," said O'Reilly, but. as matter of fact. I am Thaw's counsel of record.
 "On the day that Mir. Hartridge started to frame hypothetical ques- ton which Judge Fitzgerald would not allow Thaw made me counsel of rec ord.
 "Thaw Is personally very fond of Mir. Peabody and will insist that he be retained. MT. Gleason, too, is an old friend of Thaw. but he will not be re- engaged. Mir. Delmas of course will have nothing at all to do with the case from now on"
 Fretting under his long imprison- ment in the Tombs. Thaw has asked his counsel to do everything in their power to obtain his release on bail pending the second trial. Daniel O'Reilly will apply to justice of the supreme court in another part of the state for writ of habeas corpus and at the same time will make application for the release of his client on bail.

FEDERAL GAME NOTES.

Baltimore athletes did not fare as well
as in the past, when they usually won a
number Of the leading events on the pro-
gramme.
With Capt. Kemper and Burch. OF Cen
trail, and Capt. OsgOCd. of Western. the
local high schools are pretty we'll fixed
for sprinters.
A good feature for next years meet
would be a series Of relay races between
the classes in the different high -chools
Such an event would bring out practically
every athlete of any ability in the high
schools.
In their race with the District National
Guard the Belmonts missed Dick, who
was running for Central High. and there
fore ineligible TO compete under the clubs
c0iors. The Belmonts will make an eff
fort 10 arrange a return race with the
militiamen for the Georgetown meet.
Noble Clagett. the former high school
quaTter-mile champion. has been unable
20 find sufficient time To train properly.
and IS below his form of last spring when
he hung up new record for the 40
yards. At his best Clagett will make a
valuable man for George Washington.
The easy manner in which Schmitt
tapped his field in the intersehoIastlc
one mile run marks him as one Of the
very best distance runners developed in
the local high schools since the DAYS Of
Mike" Stuart. Had he been forced TO
exert himself Schmitt could have done
the distance in faster time than 5;l4
A triangular race between Eastern
Business, and Western has been proposed
for the Georgetown meet The EaStere-
Business race on Saturday WAS one Of the
best on the programme and. although
Western was defeated by Army and Navy
the GeorgetowneTs would fit in nicely in
the three-c0rnered event.
In view of the fact that the Catholic
University has made great strides in ath-
letics during the past two months it is
a pity that one Of her men has been
suspended for competing under an as
sumed name. 1t is said that the offense
was entirely unintentional. and the
BrookIandites are hoping that the a A
u will deal as leniently as possible with
Hetheld.
The awarding Of the interscholastic
title TO the Army and Navy Props, by
local paper, has aroused considerable
criticism at the Georgetown Prep School
as the west enders claim the champion
ship by virtue Of their victory over Wood
berry-Forrest in faster time than was
made by Army and Navy against West
ern High The Georgetown youngsters
were considerably handicapped by the
absence of Capt. Mohn, who was kept
ont of the race on account of injuries
The failure of the imported stars to do
anything remarkable has revived the talk
Of the ACCESSIBILITY of cutting out the col
legiate events and making the games the
interchOfastic championships of the South.
with a couple of exhibitions by champions
as extra attractions. Such move would
undoubtedly meet with the approval of
the majority of the followers of local
scholastic athletics, and the meet would
eventually become one of the most i'm
portant interscholastic affairs of the year.
Mudd, Of St Johns, and Kelly, Of the
Catholic University, who ran on rival
teams Saturday. were both members of
the Georgetown relay four last season.

MORE ATHLETIC REFORM.
Japanese Try to Curb the Baseball
Fever by Stopping Games.

japanese Try to Curb the Baseball
Fever by stopping Games.
Athletic reform has seized the faculties
Of the universities in far-away Japan. In
the Mikado's land baseball which was in
PRODUCED by Americans only few years
ago, is the great college sport, and so in
tense has become the rivalry between two
Of the championship contenders that the
faculty recently stepped in and called OFF
the deciding game.
This bit Of japanese athletic history is
contained in a letter written to Director
Stage. Of the University OF Chicago. by
Fred Merrlfeld. who was captain of the
Maroon nine in 1900 and is now coaching
the Waseda University team. The letter
contains the news that the Waseda team,
which year ago invaded the Pacific
Coast, Is planning another American trip
In 1908. Coach Merriheld says that Mana
ger Abb, of the Waseda nine, is DESTROYS
Of touring both the East and West. meet
ing college teams throughout the country.
He asks Director Stage for a series Of
games with the Maroon team, with the re-
quest for information concerning the pos
sibilities of arranging dates with other
Eastern and Western colleges.
In discussing japanese athletics. Mr..
Merriheld says: Baseball is on a ram
page. Every corner lot and street has its
group Of small boys. and pitchers are
springing up everywhere, with odd at
tempts at the foreign swing. Waseda is
in the lead again this year. The final
game with Keio University was called of
by the faculty Of the latter because the
students became too much excited over
the roofing Formerly they had mildly
clapped their hands. Last year a small
group monopolized the roofing. This year
hundreds crowded the stands and grounds
and sang japanese songs and gave Japa-
nese and English yells-'rah-rah" or
'ray-ray" chiefly. The last game for the
cup was postponed for fear the students
would lose control of themselves. and all
play ball or something else after the
game From 20.000 to 5000 students pack
into the grounds nowadays to see ball

PAUL REVERE's SLIDE.
By GRANTLAND RICE.

Listen. fanatics. and you shall hear
ct the midnight slide Of Paul Revere
How he scored from first on an outfeld drive
By a dashnc sprint and headloug dive
Twas the greatest play pulled of that year.
NoD the home Of poets and pottcd beans.
OF Emersonian ways and means.
In baseball epic has eft been sung
Since the days Of Criger and old Cy Young
But not even feet. deer-fO0ted Bay
Could have pulled of any such fancy play,
As the slide Of 7. Revere. which won
The famous battle Of Lexington.
The Yanks and the British were booked that trip
In a scrap for the New World Championship
But the British landed bit too late,
80 tie game didn't open till half past eight,
And Paul Revere was dreaming away
When the umpire issued his call for ply.
On. on they fought meath the Boston moon.
As the British frIred-''N0t yet hut soon
For the odds were against the Iauks that night.
With Paul Revere blocked away from the fight
And the gT1nd-stand gathering groaned IN wee,
While a sad vail bubbled from Rioters Row
But wait-Histi Hearken, and likewise haIkl
What means that galCping near the parky
What means that cry Of man dead sorey
An I too late! Say, what's the sc0re?'
And echo answered both FAR and near
As the RIOTERS shouted. There's Paul ReFerer'
Oh. hgw Swectly that noon did shine
When T. Revere took the coaching line!
He woke up the grand,tand from rs trance
And made the bleachers get up and dance
He loshed the British with robust shout
Until they booted the ball about

TIL the score was tied in a Gordian knot.
Now, in this part Of the Dope Recookcd"
Are the facts which historys overlooked-
How Paul Revere came 20 bat that night
And suddenly ended the leng drawn fight
How he singled 10 center and then sfraightway
Dashed on 10 second like Harry Bay
Kept travelling with the speed of a bird
TIL. he whizzed like a meteor rounding third
Hold back you lobster but all in vain
The coacheTs shouted IN tones OF pain
For paul kept with swinging stride
And be hit the ground when they hoIlcred "Slider
Spectacular PLAYS may come and 20
In the hurry Of Times swift ebb and flow
But never again viii there be one
Like the first American hit and run.

JEFFRIES IS WILLING
Ready to Arrange a Fight
with Bill SquireS.
AUSTRALIAN MUST SHOW CLASS
Says He Is Anxious to Re-
enter the Ring If Public Wants to
Purse VIII Receive Much Consider
alton Before Papers Are signed.

Los Angeles. Cal. Feb. 24.-Champion
Jim Jeffries has at last gone on record as
to when and how he viii fight. When
asked to-day whether he would meet Bill
Squires. the Australian. when the latter
gets 10 this country and issues his def TO
the whole of the United States, the cham
pion of all champions at once said that he
would meet him in a second If Squires
could show that he was worthy Of a fight
and If there was big enough purse hung
up to make Il worth while.
This is what Jeffries had 10 say:
Just show me that Squires Is able to
fight, and that the public wants me to
meet him, then find the proper purse
and I will at once sign up. 1 am ready
and anxious to fight, but am not going
to return to the ring to meet lemon.
l have met too many of this brand. and
the people got sour on me. because 1t
looked as though l was out looking for
easy money. ] want and need the money,
but I do not need it so badly that / will
take a chance to face the charge Of man
slaughter TO get it. There are a lot of
alleged pugilists challenging me that
would curl up and die if I were to hit
them These are the men that 1 viii
have nothing 10 do with.
Draws Color Line.
Another bunch Of men that bar are
negroes. I will never fight colored man,
no matter how good he is. except under
the circumstances that l last fought
black men, That means that as long
as / am champion of the world l viii
never meet a colored man for the title.
IF were not the champion I would
fight a negro at any time. / would bc
especially willing to meet one We're he
the champion. Good old John L. Sullivan
was the first 70 draw the color line, and
am willing to abide by his decision.
There Is a big fellow named Jack John

at the title FOR a long time He is col
ored. 1 know that / can beat him. and
beat him easily but / will not take him
on. He is "a pretty clever man, but that
lets him out He has no heart.
Getting back TO Squires. l am willing
to say that all that is needed is to show
me that there is "A chance for the Aus
traAan 70 put up good hght and he can
sign up. ] hope that he will be able 10
show the public that he is in line for "A
fight"
Jenries seemed to be absolutely in ear
nest when talking, and there is no doubt
that he would rather lose his title 60 "a
white man than give a cJ,ored boxer a
chance to win to. He is personally not OPP
posed to coiored people. but the idea that
nn eh har
win the title is so strongly fixed in his
mind that he win not consider any propo-
sition that would force him 70 meet John
son.
