INDOOR SWIMMING
DRAWS ATHLETES
COLUMBIA DEEPENs POOL AND
INsTALLs ARC LIGHTS
Amherst Builds New Natatoriun1 and
Will Take Part in Winter Sea-
son Aquatic Sports--New
Workers Busy

NEW YORK, Nov. H.-Among the
winter sports which have aroused un-
usual interest is indoor swimming.
Ever Stree the chilly weather of fall
has forced the swimmers to take to the
pools, the tanks have daily been hlled
with followers of aquatic sports en-
deavoring to acquire the necessary form
and speed which will enable them to
figure prominently in the contests Oh
the coming season. This activity has
been participated in not only by the
athletic clubs, but by the colleges.
Heretofore swimming has played only
a secondary part in the sports Oh the
indoor season, but from the ACTIVITY
shown thus far 1t would appear that
the tank will hereafter attract more
attention in intercollegiate as well as
club circles.
This fact is made evident by the
stand taken by the college athletic as
sociations in the Improvement and
building of natatoriums. At Columbia
university the tank was made deeper
and arc lights were installed in an en-
deavor to increase the interest of the
students in the water work. That IL
had the desired effect is shown in that
nearly 400 students splashed ana
stirred the water in the tank at the
Morningsde institution on the first day
that 1t was opened for their use. I'M
medtately the coaches and captains be
gan their hunt for promising material
to fill places on the swimming and
water polo teams. At Amherst new
uatatorium has been erected. and for
the first time in the history of the
Massachusetts college the undergradu-
ates will take part in the aquatic sports
of the winter season.
The swimming members of the attn
letic clubs have started in early to
round into form. The divers both for
form and distance, the under water
swimmers, the dash men and the polo
team candidates have all exerted their
efforts to reach their best form as
early as possible. They will have their
first opportunity to show the results OF
their training on November 23, when
the first indoor meet of the season will
be held at the New York Athletic club.
All registered amateurs are eligible to
compete in these games, which Will be
governed by the rules of the A. A. U.
There will be a fifty-yard novice swim,
100 and 120-yard handicap races and a
game Of water polo.

SAILORS PLAY FOR CHAMP

PHILADELPHIA, Nov 21.-The foot
ball teams from the United States battle
ships Vermont and New Jersey, now at
the Charlestown navy yard will play
their final game for the championship
of the fleet tomorrow afternoon on

Both teams have been putting up some
very creditable football this season and
comprise several players who have rep
resented Annapolis in the annual games
with West Point in Philadelphia. Among
these old navy players Is Quarterback
Norton of the Vermont eleven, who
played quarter in the army-navy game
last year. The Vermont team has several
other exceptionally good players, includ-
ing Ryan at end, Heine Treanor, the
middleweight champion boxer of the
fleet and Vosemeyer at fullback.
Dan Hurley, the old Harvard captain,
and John O'Reilly of Holy Cross college
will be the officials. Great interest has
been aroused in the game between these
two teams October % the Vermont team
played it's first game, it's opponents being
the Jersey boys. The Jersey team eX-
pected a walkover, but were very much
surprised at the end of the game, when
the score stood to 0. The following
Wednesday on the same field Vermont
played Missouri, and clean game was
witnessed by fully 1000 people, Vermont
winning 21 to 0. November 6, in a driv-
ing rain storm, Vermont played Illinois
and won Sc to 0. The New Jersey team
won from the Illinois 80 to and from
the Missouri Sc to O. The Vermont is
confident of winning this game. and the
New Jersey is equally sure of victory

HART BEATS CARNES IN
FIRST PART OF MATCH
New Yorker Scores 200 Points While
Jack Is Making 167, the Latter
Making a Slow
Start

Jack Carnes slow break last night cost
him the first half of the pool match now
in progress at Morley's parlors, Harry
Hart running the necessary 200 points
while the San Diego crack was scoring
167.
AT times both men played brilliant pool,
but Carnes was slow to hit his stride and
not until Hart had turned the century
mark did he begin to warm up. AT one
stage of the game he was SO points be-
hind the New York player, but managed
to even things up and crawled to even
at 145. Hart again forged ahead, but
Carnes made another spurt and was one
point to the good at 161, when scratch
threw him back again. From there on
Hart went right along and won well in
hand.
The match Is for four hundred points
and the final will be played off tonight.
Jim Jeffries refereed the match last
night and is expected to officiate again
this evening

Rout
BY Associated Press.

OH Saturday five of the twelve men who
represented Princeton played their last
game for Old Nassau. AT Soldiers field
next Saturday more from the Crimson

Eight of these are Yale men and six

Grant Appoloni, Wendell, Starr and
Newhall. Prirceton's retiring squad in

Woster and Brown, taking away from
Capt. Eddie Dillie every one of the Tigers

The passing of so many men has not
marked a previous season in the history
of the game
bic outcome of the big game Saturday.
Only few bets have been registered,
at odds of to l on Yale. The spirit of

YEARLING COLT IS
PROMISING INFANT
SON OF IMP. PLANUDES STARTS
IN MANY STAKES
Only Three Two-Year-olds On Amer
lean Turf Are Credited with
100000 in Their First
Years Racing

LEXINGTON. KY, Nov. 21.-C. Straus
G. Co. of Cincinnati have purchased of
the estate of the late Gus Straus of this
city the yearling bay colt by imp. Planu-
des, out of Morris Dance, and he will
be staked in many two-year-old events in
1898, he being highly promising youngs-
ter. Morris Dance, this colts dam, IS
by imp. ST. Blaise, and is the dam of
Highland Fling and other good per-
formers. She is a granddaughter OF
Round Dance, the dali of the Brooklyn
handicap winner Hornpipe, Don Alonzo
and Irish Reel
In the history of American racing only
a trio of two-year-o.ds have won as much
as 100000 on the turf, they being Dom
ino, $780, 0S5; Colin, S13S614 and His High
ness, 500, 400. Domino. like Colin, was
unbeaten at his age, but His Highness
lost three races as a two-year-old. Colin
began his racing season earlier than most
any OF the crack two-year-olds and since
the days of Morello. He won his first
race on May 29 Three of his stakes he
captured in June, three in August, two
in September and two in October, win
ming his final race of the season on the
18th ult. He quits the year still one shy
of Tremont's record, the latter winning
thirteen straight races as a two-year-o.d.
]. E. Madden has bought Mrs Gus
Straus' interest in the young brood mare
Countess by imp. Loyalist, out of Wan
da, by imp. Mortemer, and now is sole
owner of the mare and her weaving colt
Ivy Magazine. Countess is a half sister
to Maxine Elliott, the dam of the fast
filly Commedienne.
Joe Hawkins, who had his stable in
training at the Kentucky association fol
some time, has gone to Oakland. While
here he was pointing the two Banastal
colts, Manchester and Bannatyne, for the
early three-year-od California events il
1903. They were both bred by Clarence
Mackay, as were several other per.
formers now members of the Hawkin,
string. J. Butler is doing the riding OF

EIGHTEEN-EOOTERS TO
EXPERIENCE GOOD YEAR
Class r Boats in Line for Boom Next
Season - Smaller Craft Less
Expensive to Build
and Race

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-There is every
likelihood that the 1S-foot class of sloops,
known as class r, will have quite
boom for next seasons sport A boat for
this class is now being built at Jacobs S
yard at City island from designs by
Charles D. Mower, who has turned out
the Joy, Bensonhurst and other fast
boats, so that it is fair to assume that
the new craft will be a fast one. John
r. Brophy the chairman of the Atlantic
Yacht club regatta committee. has drawn
lines for another in this class and she is
exceedingly attractive and should dc
we'll. Mr. Brophy designed the Ogeemah
the 22-footer which was the first boat
built under the new rule of measurement
and the Ogeemah is still among the
crackajacks.
Just now some negotiations are going
on for a race in which the 18-footers
will compete. AS soon as all details are
completed they will be announced in time
for yachtsmen to build for the next sea-
sons sport. 1t is intimated that the
contest is of an international character
and, a guess makes this class take the
place of the Sender class boats with
which the German, Spanish and eastern
yachtsmen have raced now for two sea
sons.
Glass r is a good one. The new rule
has developed big boat in each class
and the 22-footers, such as the JOY
Spider, Soya, Capsicum and others, have
proved to be too big for some yachtsmer
who are fond of racing small boats
These boats cost about $2500 to builc
and at least $1,000 more to keep in con
dition and race for a season. The 1S-
footers cost $1,000 to $500 to build an(
about $500 more will keep them in fln'
shape and pay all running expenses.
| The 21-foot raceabout class is abou
dead. 1t has been raced for many sea
sons, and it is thought by many wht
favor building in the regular classes tina
the 18-footers, so called, can take thu
place of the racebouts. The new Is
footers are about % feet on the waite
line and spread about 600 square feet o
canvas.
Another class that is likely to boom il
the 27-foot, or class P. Henry j. Gielow
who. designed the Jigstep Sue and Cres
cent, has an order for one for Graves
end bay yachtsman. Another has beei
ordered by an eastern yachtsman, and a
intercity machines have become NOR
popular in the last few years it is prob
able that efforts will be made next season
to arrange races in the 49, % and 27 foo
classes.

SAINTS AND L. A. HIGH
SECONDS FAIL TO PLAY

The second teams of Los Angeles high
school and ST. Vincent did not play at
Fiesta park yesterday afternoon.
The L. A. high bunch turned up, as per
schedule, but the Saints failed to put in
their appearance, and the school boys
left for home in disgust at half past four
o'clock.
Hempel ordered the second team to re-
main on the college grounds to give prac-
tice to the big fellows, as they needed
the scrimmage work badly
Coach Sorenson of l.. A. high is sore be-
cause the st. Vincent's manager failed tc
notify him that the game was called off
but in view of the big game against Ore
gon Aggies on Thanksgiving day, Hempe
was justified in compelling the second
team to buck St. Vincent's. The game
scheduled between the minor players OF
the two schools didn't amount to much
anyway.

UNDER COMPROMISE
FIGHT is STAGED
Sy Associated Press.

3y Associated Press.
DES MONIES, Iowa, Nov. A.-Gover-
nor Cummins took hand in Daven-
ports widely advertised Herman-McFar-
land prize fight this evening and with the
aid of a company of the Iowa state
militia ordered it to be stopped, even
before it began.
Four thousand seats had been sold for
the occasion, a thousand people coming
in special trains from Chicago and other
cities. Today Governor Cummins salts
fled himself that the fight at Davenport
was not to be a mere scientific sparring
exhibition" as 1t had been carefully ad-
vertised, and there was also the sus-
picion that If left to local officers there
might be a liberal construction of the
statute prohibiting prize fighting. There-
fore he called out the militia at Daven-
port and ordered them to take possession
of the Coliseum. y
A compromise was arranged with the
OFFICIALS and the fight and preliminaries
were allowed to proceed on the under
standing that it was to be contest for
'pomts" only and no decision was to be
given from the ring.
Mcfarland had the better of the fif-
teen-round go with Herman. The hf-
teenth round found Herman hanging on
when the gong rang. No decision was
given because of Governor Cummins'
order to the militia to prevent fight.
But in the last few rounds knockout
seemed probable any time, and when
the fight ended Herman was hanging on
to Mcfarland. who rained terrific blows
at short range On his neck. head and
face. In the earlier rounds Herman
showed some of the dash and elusiveness
tnat carried him to victory in his earlier
fights but he was no match for the
rugged stock yards fighter. Mcfarland
would probably have scored knockout
if it had not been for the peculiar con-
dtions under which the fight was held.

Frank Chance, Fresnos favorite son

1t is hard for local fans to believe this.
It's too good to be true, but go to the
games and take chance and you'll see
Frank with the halo presented to him
by the Fresno Amalgamated Raisn
Growers association.
Mcintyre of Brooklyn fame will twirl
for the visitors. and it is a good bet that
the celestial constellation will wipe out
the disgrace of that to score which
was registered against them by Berry s
gang last Sunday. The shining lights
have been practicing hard and it is ex-
peeted that the coming games will afford
as good baseball as there is in this

VANDERBILT WANTS TY
COBB TO COACH NINE

NASHVILLE, Nov. M.-Although 40
definite offer has been made. it has leaked
out that aVnderbilt university of Nash
vile seeks Tyrus Cobbs services as base
ball coach for next spring.
In fact, Dan McGugin, coach of the
football team and virtual head of ath-
letics at Vanderbilt and Cobb had a talk
in Atlanta last week.
Cobb told McGugin that he would con-
slider an offer. The Detroit ball club,
however, may offer an objection, on the
ground that the player would not get the
coaching in the spring that he would get
with Manager Jennings to look the lad
over every day.
Vanderbilt usually has one of the
strongest mines among the southern col
leges. Every spring the team makes a
long trip, playing eastern colleges and
battling with strong teams.
