NEW YORK, Dec. 10.--Now that the
football season is thing of the past
college men about the various college
clubs in New York are looking forward
to the rowing season next spring.
1t has developed that following the
srmy and navy football game In Phila-
delphia an informal conference was held
by rowing authorities from Pennsylvania,
Cornell and Annapolis. The navy men
stated that the academy was anxious to
extend it's participation in rowing events
as far as possible, and had no idea of
dropping out of the Poughkeepsie regatta
in spite of the poor showing made by the
middies' crew last year.
Participation in any athletic event away
from the academy, however, is dependent
on the permission of the navy department
This it is believed, will be easily obtain
able when the time comes. 1t is expected
that the middies will enter a four -oared
crew as well as an eight, but it is un-
likely that there will be freshman crew
entered.

behind the pacemaker until turning for
home, when he was sent in on the rail
and apparently had the race at his
mercy. Frank Flittner had been carried
along gradually and entered the final
quarter in fourth position. He easily
wore down Eduardo, but Kilter had been
nicely placed and at the end Harty was
giving the Regan colt an easy hand ride.

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-Several impor-
tant reforms in baseball may result from
the meeting of the National league OF
baseball clubs which convened here today.
One of the proposed reforms is the aboli-
ton of the present system of so-callel
double-header games frequently planned
to draw large crowds. Some of the league
members have expressed themselves as
opposed to games of this kind on the
ground that they are unsportsmanlike.
Aside from suggestions of this kind for

football team to go to Brazil for series
of games next June or July.
The league offers to pay the expenses

that there are several South americans

WINS FROM GOOD FIELD

Had not Alteration been left at the
post in the second number different
tale than Zelina's victory might have
been told, but as it was the Walker
trick was credited with nose win over
Norfolk, with Alteration a close third and
the favorite. Waterbury, nowhere. 1t was
a close finish between tn first five, a
vigorous ride by Lycurgus defeating Pres
ton on Norfolk.
The break found Alteration clear out
of the running. and Waterbury also off
to a poor beginning. Hereafter was
sent out to make the race, and into the
final quarter was two lengths to the
good. Here she chucked it, together
with Autigo and Zelina. which had been
rated cleverly in third position, as
sumed command, never to be headed.
Alteration closed world of ground, but
could never get up to Norfolk, which
landed the place by half a length.
Hereafter was fourth by another head,
and Waterbury was a nice fifth.

May Forget to Sulk

as a betting proposition, as he is inclined

the contender. Gentle Harry and Joyner

Taylor George was easily best of the

tied Rifleman's record for the distance.
Gabrielle was left at the post so hope

The others got away in a bunch to a
walking start and Ross Immediately went
about his business with Taylor George.
At the quarter he was two lengths to the
good, but at the half Toupee came up
alongside and made a bid. Into the
stretch they were noses apart, but from
the paddock home Ross was content to
ride a hand finish, winning easily in

trouble. Barney Oldfield passed the tir-
ing Reed an eighth out, and at the end
was close up, but with no chance of
catching the winner. Bal Reed was half
a length away, six lengths in advance of
the field.
Eleven ordinary two year olds lined
up when the barrier was sprung, and
they got away to a good start. AT the
quarter Bal Reed flashed in front by a
length. followed by Barney Oldfield,
Creston and Astoria Belle in the order
named. Burton took Creston up to the
head of the procession, and Bal Reed
went in behind him. They were the same
into the stretch, Creston galloping and
the other two fighting it out for the
place. Oldfild had the courage and
gained scond money in a sharp drive.

Walkers two clean ups came in the

the Offut candidates for first honors. and
the public fancied them so well that less

Gard
nY IRyING p. CLEMENT

If the downpour continues during the
wee hours of the morning the track will
be heavy this afternoon and mudlarks
will have an inning. The chances are
that when the blue pencil gets done with
it's work small fields will go to the post
If the track is soggy.
An excellent card has been provided and
horses of class are carded to start, so the
races which are evenly balanced should
be well contested all the way.
A handicap for 2-year-olds is the feature
event and so well have the weights been
arranged by Secretaries Boden and Smith
that it is a most open affair and selecting
the winner will be a hard task. De
Arman has two, Creston and Early Tide,
entered, and if the latter starts she is my
choice as her race in the opening day
was an excellent one. Stanley Fay, from
Walkers barn, has been going well in his
works and he figures very close second.
All Alone is speedy and likes soft track,
but will have to improve over his last
effort to beat the top ones. Dredger and
Lackfoot have good chances to finish in
the money.
Shaw and The Sultan
The first race looks like a two"horse
affair between f. E. Shaw and The Sui
tan. They both showed a good turn of
speed in the maiden efforts at Santa
Anita, but Shaw has the best of the
weights and should win from The Sultan.
Illusion is speedy, but is outclassed and
will have to do her best to save the show
money from Giovanni Balerio.
The hardest race of the day to pick the
winner for is the second number, 2
year-old affair at five furlongs. Rey
Hindoo is going well and if he runs to his
work will take lot of beating. Man
heimer is fast and likes soft track, and
if anything beats Hindoo this one has the
best chance. Whidden's last race was
good one, and he should improve today
over that effort and finish bangup.
