NOTES OF THE TURF.

In view Of the weeks suspension handed
by the Oakland stewards TO Jockey Wal
ter Miller for rough riding. turfmen are
wondering whether the midget jockey viii
be permitted 70 employ these tactics with
ont restraint on the Jockey Club tracks
this year. Miller's foul riding last season
caused much unpleasant comment.
The Commercial Handicap. worth about
$4,000 TO the winner which has become
one of the best features Of the Coney
Island Jockey Club spring meeting, has
drawn a splendid array of entries. In the
list just made public are James +. Bradys

BY referring the case Of Jockey Radtke
10 the license committee, the Jockey Club
has practically decided that the boy can
ride again, but not until the racing be
gins on the Eastern tracks. II Radtke
had been found guilty Of wrongdoing in
relation 10 the ride on Tommy Waddeu
At Jamaica last fall which brought about
his suspension, he would have been sum
marily dealt with before this The license
committee receives its instructions from
the Jockey Club stewards Consequently.
in turning Radtke's case over to the com
mittee. the stewards, it is believed, have
decided to let the boy have another

GET A GOOD START.
Billy MaIOney Tells How Easy 1t Is
TO Steal Bases.

Billy Maloney, the agile center
fielder Of the Brooklyns, who is known
all over the country for his wonderful
ability in stealing bases, has the fol-
lowing to say about the art: There
is one feature Of play that receives
practically no attention in practice.
Ii is well known that without a good
start it is next to impossible to steal
base on the fine throwing catchers
Of to-day
'Base-stealing depends largely upon
getting a good lead, and foOling the
catcher as to when you intend to steal
The pitchers duty is to hold the run
ner as closely to the bases as he can,
while the catcher keeps his eye on the
runner and when he thinks he is going
20 steal. signals the pitcher for a
shoulder high ball away from the plate.
so he can make a quick throw 90 sec
ond in an effort to head the runner.
The base runner should never attempt
to steal when the battery is playing
for him, that is TO say when the pitcher
Is wasting balls TO give a catcher a
better chance TO throw. One OF the
best balls TO get away is slow IN
shoot If the runner had a good lead
and started with the pitchers arm. the
chances are all In his favor that he
viii beat the ball TO second.
The trouble with many runners Is
that they do not get away fast enough.
II Is fact that a runner can greatly
increase his speed by diligently prac-
ticing getting of the mark How many
bases have you seen just lost by a
fraction of "a second. IT the runner
had known how to start he probably
would ha4 gained the base. for the
advantage Of a few feet would have
beaten the throw from the catcher

HARVARD ENTERS DENIAL.
Crimson Says That Postal Card story
Is Untrue.

Is Untrue.
This weeks issue of the Harvard Bull
letin replies warmly to recent news
paper revival Of the old story that Har-
ward refused Pennsylvania request for
a football game last spring by postal
card. The statements made about the
correspondence in regard to a football
game between Pennsylvania and Harvard
are so far from the truth that one may
fairy say that the man who wrote them
either deliberately misrepresented the
facts or else was quite ignorant OF what
ne was writing about" says the Bulletin
Last spring the undergraduate mana
ger Of the Pennsylvania football eleven
wrote to the manager Of the Harvard
eleven and asked for a football game in
accord with the arrangements which had
been made in several Of the preceding
years. The Harvard manager replied In
effect that ne could not fix a game. and
he referred Pennsylvania 10 the Har-
ward athletic committee.
There was then some correspondence
between the chaiTmen Of the TWO COM
mittees In answer 10 a letter from
Pennsylvania, Prof. White, Of the Har-
ward committee, wrote that It was not
then certain Harvard would be allowed
TO take part in intercollegiate football
in the fall Of 1906, and for that reason
and others Harvard would be unable TO
arrange a game with Pennsylvania.
prof Smith. Of the Pennsylvania com
mittee. then asked whether ii would do
any good for Pennsylvania to keep on
her schedule a date for Harvard until
it was decided whether Harvard would
be permitted to play football. Prof
White replied that 1t would do no good. "

New York, Jan. 12-Tommy Murphy.

Young Corbett in six rounds at Phila-
delphia last week. viii probably be
matched to fight either Kid Herman, OF
Chicago, or Jimmy Britt, Of San Fran
cisco, next spring
Manager Riley, Of the TOnOpah Athletic
Club, has expressed a willingness to hang
up a $4,000 purse for Murphy and Her
man. and II is said that both boys are
ready 10 talk business with him. Tex
Rickard. Of GoIdheld, is also said 70 be
anxious TO match Murphy and Britt, and
will offer more money than Riley.
Murphy does not claim 20 be in the
same class with Cans or Nelson just yet.
but he thinks that he can beat either
Herman or Britt, and is willing 70 meet
one or both Of them. Murphy does not
care to tight Corbett again, although a
club in Baltimore will hang up a good
purse for a ffteen-round fight.
The Harlem boy has signed a contract
for a theatrical tour Of eight weeks His
success against Corbett has suddenly put
a lot of money in his way. and the young
man intends to make hay while the sun
shines.
Tommy Burns said the other day that
he would Ike 70 meet Bob Fitzsimmons
in a six-round bout in Philadelphia But
old Fitz, who is showing IN in Missouri,
declares that there would not be enough
money in such contest, and that IL
Burns wants a fight it viii have to be

clubs. Fitz thinks that he could get A
$4,000 purse for a battle with Burns, but
there are many sporting men who do NOT
agree with the Cornishman.
It is probable that a FiJZsimmous-
Burns mill would be worth about $500
