of merchandise aggregating considerab bly,
more than that amount were. distributed
among the contestants. The several
events were participated in by marksmen

United States. and the tournament mark
ed an era in the interest and enthusiasm
of not only individual members of the
league. but among non-lea que rifle clubs

NORTHERNERS FIND
LUCK IN "HO0-D00" DAY

NEW ORLEANS, December 14.-Yester-
day was "hoo-doo day" Friday, the
18th, but it brought luck to the New
York horsemen. and they put two profit
able winners over at the Fair Grounds
track in the afternoon. T. D. Sullivans

when the eastern horsemen were san

were fulfilled Burew & O'Neil began
the operations with handing Alsatian
around freely as horse well worthy to
begin the days proceedings. and Trainer
Archie thinner continued the good work
by insisting that the Gothamites should
speed theiS money along on Gold Circle
Alsation made good the early private
promise that he gave to his owners by
galloping away from a big field Of maid
ems. Early in the year the son of Bas-
setlaw had shown fast enough trials to
impress his owners with the belief that
he was Il colt OF high quality. Illness
prevented him from winning, and this
was his first attempt in the south. The
only doubt in Burlew's mind regarding
the result was due to the condition of
the track. The course had not dried and
was several inches deep with mud. AL
satan did not seem to mind the uncer-
tain footing and sped to the front easily
at the start and won pulling hard on the
bit.
Gold Circle Regains Form.
There was a time when Archie thinner
used to hope for rain whenever Gold
Circle was entered in race. The gelding
was one of the best mud horses in the
country but he lost his form and could
not win any kind of a purse over a wet

less when thinner brought him here but

EXCHANGE PLAYERS

NEW YORK, December 14.-John Nc
Graw and Joe Kelley got together in
Base Ball alley at the Waldorf-Astoria
yesterday while the National League
magnates were in solemn session in an
apSXtuent on the second floor. While

After the magnates had adjourned their
meeting Kelley submitted the trade to

his approval. and Dewey baked. Kelley
was referred to President Barney Drey-
fuss of the Pittsburg club. and Dreyfuss
offered him Catcher Phelps. Infielder Abb

measure. Then George Dovey gave his
consent, and the deal was contaminated.
Both McGraw and Kelley got the man
they wanted, the others being side issues
in the deal.
President Charley Murphy of the Chi
cago Cubs was besieged during the four
days session with offers for Arthur Hof-
man. one of the substitute players of the
Cubs. Offers were fired at Murphy from
all directions. until he finally declared
himself to this effect:
Frank Chance is the manager of the
Chicago club. and before i came to this
meeting told ME that he considered Hof-
man and Howard members of the world s
champion team as much as he does John
Killing. Mordecai Brown or any other
member of the club. He asked me not to
trade or sell either of these players I'M
der any conditions. For that reason l
will not listen to any offer for either"
Besides increasing President Pulliam' S
salary, the magnates passed resolution
TO the effect that hereafter waivers on
PLAYERS cannot be withdrawn after they
have been given. and that the maximum
price for drafting players from the minor

ANOTHER BREWERY FIRE.

CHICAGO, December 14.-The $50, 900
fire in the Cooke brewery last night is
the third brewery fire since the Sunday
closing crusade began in this city.
Coming so closely after the other fires,
Attorney Hogan believes that some IA
matte actuated by the belief that brewery
destruction helps along the cause is at
work. Mr.. Hogan last night said:
while / am not prepared to state posi-
lively that the fires have been set, the
circumstances are at least peculiar enough
to justify me in making the most search

MAY BRING TIGERS
AND QUAKERS TOGETHER

NEW YORK December 1.-THE TACT
that Princeton and Pennsylvania have
been conducting informal negotiations
looking toward a foot ball game next fall
between them since the close of the recent
season leaked out yesterday.
Manager Wheeler of Princeton and Man.
ager Disston met on Franklin Field at the
Army and Navy game. and the possibility
of a game was discussed by them.
Following this Capt.-elect Hollenback of
Pennsylvania was the guest of Capt. Nc
Cormack of Princeton at Princeton over
last Sunday, and the talk of the game was
renewed
All of these men are personally in favor
of a game, and it would be arranged with
out further bubble We're their views to de-
eide the matter. but there has been oppo-
sition among old graduates growing out
of the feud of the early '9Os which re-
mains to be overcome. and the consent Of
the faculty committees of the two insti-
tutions is necessary.
The matter has mot yet reached the
stage where it can be presented to the
faculties, but there is little likelihood that
serious objection would be met on that
score.
Almost all of the old Princeton foot ball
men now favor another big game. and
whether it will be with Harvard or Penn
sylvania makes little difference to them.
The difficulties which led to the Pennsyl-
vania break in 1904 have been practically
forgotten on both sides, and the under
graduates maintain now very friendly
feeling toward each other. There is no
doubt that meeting of the old sectional
rivalries would add tremendous interest
to the foot ball season at both institutions,
particularly at Penn.
Penn is eager for game.
The beneficial effect of the big game for
both Princeton and Penn is recognized on
both sides, and it only remains to over
come the objection of a few who 1etain
the old luminosity for the game to be ar
ranged. The reason neither side will not
talk of the negotiations is the feeling that
the more talk is heard the less chance of
the success of the effort to arrange
game.

FOOT BALL SOL0NS
TO CONSIDER CHANGES

NEW YORK, December 14.-Several
possible changes in the foot ball rules for
next year are being discussed. and one
o. them is a modification of the much
criticised forward pass. A meeting of the
intercollegiate Association of the United
States will be held at the Murray Hill
Hotel December 81. and that gathering of
the rule makers will have an important
bearing on any changes that may be
made.
Seven of the fourteen members of the
rules committee will be named at the
nation with the old foot ball committee
must be considered again before the new
foot ball rules committee can get down
to the consideration of actual changes
on the playing field.
The attitude of the larger colleges to-
ward the new association is occupy
ing the attention of foot ball legislators
at present far more than the question
of rules themselves. Pennsylvania and
Chicago have Joined the new associa-
ton. and Cornell is likely to enter the
fold any day before the meeting Is con-
vened Yale is also expected to become a
member OF the body

Bauman took exception to this ren7ark

OUT TO
BE AN EXCISE
BOOMERANG
Expected That State Pun
ishment for Sunday Viola
tiOns Will Be Effective.

The action of Common Council in pass
ing an ordinance Friday night permitting
the sale of liquor Sunday from l p. m.
to 11.30 p. M, which is in direct opposition
to the Bishops law. is likely to have the
effect of closing the local saloons tighter
than ever.
In eases where saloonkeepers take a
chance and open between the hours set
forth in he city ordinance the charge
against them will be made under the
State law. Formerly the charge was made
of violating a city ordinance. when the
fine was but so and costs, but under the
State law they are required to give a bond
for the action of the Grand Jury. and,
besides, nave their license revoked, as pro-
vided by the Bishops law.
1t is generally believed that, in view OF
the new legal conditions created, a less
number of sa%loonkeepers will attempt to
open their places in violation of the State
law.
