ORIGIN OF acHARLEY HORSE"
Ascribed to a Spaniard Who Spoke
Broken English.

BOSTON, Mass, January 19-Base ball
writers are occasionally asked what is
Charley horse term frequently en-
ployed in describing an ailment peculiar to
ball players. The answer is easy enough,
but when the writer asked how the term
originated, trouble began. One of the re-
cent stories now going around is that dur
ing the late sos the Boston and Providence
teams met in a series of warmly contested
games Charlie RadGourne, the great
pitcher who was affectionately called 'Old
Hoss" was tossing EN- up. Neva, Span
lard who spoke broken English, was ms
catcher. Radbourne hit around the bases
at aa merry clip. but when he reached sec
ond the players yelled to stop running. as
the ball had scaled the fence Radbourne
trotted to third, but after touching the bag
he suddenly developed a lameness and came
lmping home. Neva, seeing his battery pal
in trouble raced anxiousiy to Radbourne,
and, pattng him tenderiy, said
Whats a malta you, Charley Hoss!
The Spanlard used Radbournes first name
and his nickname in the combination, which
resulted in the term charley horse.

ATHLETICS AT CORNELL.
Nearly 1000 Students Enrolled for
Gymnasium Work.

ITHACA, n. Y, January 19.-Says the
Cornell Sun: "A few years ago there was
little complaint heard about inadequate
gymnasium facilities But now that the
department has been reorganized on popu-
lar lines and since its methods have re-
ceived such universal approval as evinced
by the great number who are now using
nasium is felt very keenly. The statistics
furnished by Prof. Young aid one to real
ize this more wildly. He informs us that
an average of 500 to coo students, excluding
the men taking drill, use the gymnasium
daily. They are enrolled as follows:
Track and cross-country. 30: play
ground, 800; gymnasium proper, 1870; box
ing 50; rowing. 40; fencing, 81; wrestling,
80. Total, GAG.
Members of university teams not roceiv-
ing gymnasium credit are not included in
these figures. 1t is interesting to also note
that sixty-five men nave registered for the
intercollegiate basket ball teams, that sew
enty-fve men reported for the interclaSs
foot ball elevens. and that 104 men COM
peted in the intercollege cross-country run.
These figures would have been larger had
not the crowded condition of the building
discouraged the candidates In certain
branches. For instance, the intercollege
basket bali teams are compelled to hold
their practices at an inconvenient hour, so
as not to interfere with the work of the
university five and the men who drill The
effect of such conditions is realized forcibly
now since the crew. basket ball, track and
lacrosse teams are using, or soon will be
using, the gymnasium.

OCTOBER BALLOON RACES.
foreign Clubs to Be Notified of the
Arrangements Made

NEW YORK. January 19-Frank T.ahm
father Of Lieutenant Lahm, the present
holder Of the international balloon trophy.
has sailed for Europe as a commissioner of
the Aero club. His mission is to make final
arrangements with foreign acronauts for
the International contest TO be started in St
Louis next October. Nj. LaiIm will notify
the various clubs in the International aero
nautir federation OF the arrangements that
have been made by the club here assisted
by the St. Louis committee, toward obtain
ing free customs entry for all competing
balloons, besides material reduction of
fare from New York TO ST. Louis and back
1t is probable that u request will be pre-
scented TO the international federation by
Mr.. Lahm. asking that the time for the re-
ceipt OF entries for the Gordon Bennett CUP
may be extended one month; that is, to
March 1. The regulations specify that all
entries must be in by February !. The
necessity for an extension of time for re-
ceiviLg entries has been intensified during
the last two weeks by the failure TO receive
definite assurances from several of the
foreign clubs that have been confidently
counted upon as contestants for the cup.

last seven years OF Archer's career c. Wood
was his runner-up, and 1t was only natural
that on the death OF q rival who held him
so long at bay. Wood should come out on
top as he did in 1887. From that time, or
ever before no jockey on the English turf
has had the uninterrupted success OF
Archer The nearest approach to 1t was
Mornfngton Cannon, who at the close OF
half dozen racing seasons stood first.
Next comes o. Madden who achieved the
position four occasions and then comes
7. Loates with three. In 1893 Loates
made total of Do wins: that is the near
est approach to Archer's 246. and Loates is
the only jockey to exceed 200 winners
since 1885, M. Cannon made 1874 and lS2
in 1895 and 1892 respectively.
Twenty years have brought great changes
among the English riders of rank. That
brilliant horseman, John Watts, has Joined
the majority, and so have G. and F. Bar
rett. Wood and S. Loates are now estab-
lished as public trainers. T. Loates, All
sopp and Bradford have retired to private
life. while the younger of the Reiff broth
ers Is now engaged in France. Lane, who
headed the list in 1902, has not been abe
to resume riding since the terrible accident
that befelI him in 1904 at Lngfield.

THE LIVERPOOL JUMP.
Its Introduction in This Country As
cribed to MI. Hitchcock.

NEW YORK January 19.-Thomas Hitch
cock. ir. has sailed for a trip to England
and ireland. and expects to be gone for two
months or more. The major part of his time
abroad will be spent in Ireland. where he
will look the field over carefully, with
view to purchasing likely young hunters
and steeplechasers. 1t is not likely, how
ever that Mr.. Hitchcock will buy any made
jumpers as he finds the keenest delight in
developing his own crOss-country horses.
He was familiar with chasing in England
a dozen years or more ago, and he was re-
sponsible for the Introduction of the jump
known as the liverpool into America.
During his Cambridge days Mr.. Hitchcock
became acquainted with the Liverpool. He
had ridden considerable over the English
courses, and did not believe that any course
was complete without the Liverpool But
its introduction here met with storm OF
protest which gradually was overcome. and
the Liverpool is not only considered a ne
cessity for any wel-conStructed course, but
as safe as a bank and hedge.
The first Liverpool built in this country
was at a little meeting held in 1891, at
Prides Crossing, one of Boston's famous
North Shore suburbs Il was a one-day
meeting of a local nature, and Mr. Hitch
cock was asked to lay out the course,
which. naturally, was only temporary. He
put in the offending Liverpool, which al
most caused a riot.
1T was decidedly unpopular at first said
Mr. Hitchcock. in an interview just before
leaving. ''rhe day before the races an in
Spection of the course was made by a num-
Der of owners and riders. When they came
to the fence there was a regular up
rising. They called it death trap and
would not believe that a horse could be
made to jump such obstacle with any
degree of safety. L was the most unpopular
man in Massachusetts for few minutes, as
they saw their meeting spoiled by my in
novation.
1t was up to me to convince them differ
emily, and l proceeded to do 50. | got an
old hunter had at the course and sent him
over that fence dozen times so, and
they We're finally convinced that ii was not
so bad as they had figured. The meeting
was not hurt in the least by the introduce
ton Of the Liverpool The following year
we began putting Liverpools in the courses
about New York. and there has never been
any objection to them since, except, per-
haps, by hysterical persons who know moth
ing of the practical side of cross-country
racing. There is in reality safer fence
in a steeplechase course than the Liver
pool

GREAT SPORT IN VIEW
NATIONAL GUARD WRESTLING
TOURNAMENT PLANNED.

Announcement has been made by Capt.
Edwards that next month the National
Guardsmen Of the District of Columbia Will
hold one of the best wrestling tournaments
that has ever been seen by local sportsmen.
class of over thirty good men has been
organized and are making rapid progress
under the instructions of Frank Lockhead,
a clever amateur, who has been following
the wrestling game for the past five years.
He has been ably assisted by Joe Turner,
one of the most scientific local profess
SIGNALS. Although professional, he Is a
lover of amateur sports and Is working
hard to teach the youngsters the finer
points of the game.
The most promising in the bantam-weight
class are Magrath, Brown and Simpson.
Jim Lockhead and Rodgers are the most
likely youngsters for the featherweights
although there are many good men in this
class. The largest number are lightweight
and it is hard to pick the winner, although
Hutchinson and Rindhart look to be the
hest.
The welters are Talvin, Ross and Frank
LoCkhead. CaSasSa and Regis are the
most promising middle weights. and will
hold their own against other organizations.
The heavy weights are rather scarce, but
Cross and Burlingame are about the best
in the District. 1t was due to the latenesS
in starting this class that only one man
represented the guards in the Y. NJ. c. A.
tournament but, as it is in full sway now,
they will be largely represented in the tu-
ture.
The Baltimore boys have been invited 70
come over and try their skill against the
locals, and good many will be in the
finals Arrangements are being made to
match Joe Turner and Jack Spalding
against some other good men as an extra
attraction after the amateur bouts Hand
some medals will be awarded to the win
ners of each contest and cup to the club
winning most points. The date has been
set in February to allow time to get up a
highly interesting affair.
Entry blanks will be sent out this week.
The athletic association will hold the pre-
liminaries on the 18th and finals on the
21st 1t is the intention 10 have Il irtsr-
esting for the ladies, and arrangements
have been made for dancing after :he con-
tests on the DIST. The meet will BE- held

MIKE SCHRECK TALKS
ABOUT TOMMY BURNS

CHICAGO. H., January 19.-'1 wonder
If Tommy Burns remembers the night he
jumped out of a window to dodge me?'
Mike Schreck remarked recently. Not
long ago, while we were both in Los An
geles, Tom McCarey couldn't decide which
one of us he liked the better" Mike con-
tinued He said if we would make a
match and fight he would keep the winner
and make a star of him. Burns wouldn't
listen to it, and then McCarey took lI-l
into a side room and talked to him. Later
McCarey came out of the room alone and
said it was all Off I waited for Burns to
come out. but he didn't do SO. Then went
and looked in the room. 1t was empty
but a window-the only way a man could
have got out-was wide open. Now what
do you think of that?''
Mike said he would like TO have met
Burns and talked over that and few other
Incidents Of their previous meeting. I
licked him. and he never licked me and
never could" Mike continued.
