MILITARY ATHLETICS.
Possibility of the League Taking Up
Aquatic Sports.

NEW YORK, January 12-There is
strong probability that within the next few
months the Military Athletic League will
decide to take up aquatic sports. Maj w.
A. Turpin of the 13t.- Regiment OF Brook
Ign, who is enthusiastic exponent of
swimming and fancy diving. has started a
movement toward organizing 4 swimming
association whose object viii be to promote
every form of swimming, plunsing, fancy
diving, water polo and life-savng among
members of the regular army as well as of
the various National Guard regiments.
Plans are SO far matured that there is talk
of holding the first swimming champion
ships of the Military Athletic League in the
spring. The 18th Regiment pool has been
suggested for the tournament, but it is
more probable that an effort viii be made
to secure the nata torium of the New York
At. tic Club Then request will be made
to the committee on athletics of the James,
town Exposition to add the outdoor mill
tary championships to their aquatic pro-
gram.
That the plan will prove success there
appears to be no reason to doubt. Some
of the best American swimmers are men,
beers of various regiments, and the response
should be prompt and enthusiastic. 1t will
mean lot to the sport to have this new
body to promote it, for there are regiments
in almost every clty, and their support will
carry more influence than even the Intercol-
legiate Association.

WHY JAMESTOWN EXPO.
REGATTA Is OPPOSED

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, January 1.-THE
Philadelphia oarsmen have gone on record
in their opposition to the national regatta
being held at jamestown this year during
the exposition. AT recent meeting of the
Schuylkiil Navy a committee of five was
appointed to devise ways and means for
securing the national regatta for Ph'la-
delphia It was the sense of the meeting
that the rowing public should not misunder-
stand the motive of the Schuyllki1l Navy in
asking for the 1857 fixture, inasmuch it
has gene forth that the next national re-
gatta would be held at Jamestown. In
vestigation has revealed that the trans
portation facilities to Jamestown may be
hazardous regarding the handling of the
frafl shells, while the regatta committee
would be necessarily inexperienced for
such an important fixture The oarsmen
in New York have not aroused themselves
over the matter. A number expressed
themselves in favor of Jamestown while
others questioned the advisability of hold
Ing the regatta in Hampton roads, where
the water is likely to be rough.
kill Navy said: 1T is claimed that a
which could be used for the regatta, could
be laid out On the river. In any case it
would be necessary to go up the river sew
eral miles to secure anything like smooth
water, and then 1t would be impossible to
get away from the tide that is necessarily
strong. Then, too, the course would be
far removed from the exposition grounds,
and thus the regatta would be merely a
SIDE Show lost in the maze of attractions"

PAYMENT OF INSURANCE
ON A RACE HORSE EVADED

PARIS. January 12.-Attention seems to
be called to the policies issued by those
who pay premiums for insuring horses
against accidents, as Red Cedar, who met
with a fatal accident in the Grand Steeple-
chase at Autouil has not reaped the benefit
of the So 600 for which he was guaranteed
against mortal accident He fell at a jump
and was so badly injured that his recovery
was considered more than problematic. He
was. however, not killed on the spot, but
died four days afterward at his stable at
Chantilly, where he had been taken in the
horse ambulance. The contract was made
verbally. but the policy forwarded after
ward contained the words: THE guarantee
of the company commences when the horse
has gone out on the track, but ceases when
he leaves it" Although 1t was admitted
by the defendant company that the death
of Red Cedar was solely attributable to the
accident, the court allowed the plea that
the horse having been removed from the
course and having died in his trainers sta

Tom Foley Regards Him as a Great

CHICAGO. January 12-Tom Foley of

ment into a championship possibility. He
has this to say about the young westerner S

a great billiardst. but he never could show
his true form when a championship was at
stake. His work in practice and at odd
times in match play has been of a bril-
liancy equal to that of any of the more
noted masters. but when it came right
down to q big tournament or a big match
he rarely showed his real ability. There is

he made $40 points In three innings for an
average of 1873, did not surprise me much.
He is liable to break away at any time for

STUDENTS WORKED UP.
Complain of Faculty Interference In
Athletics

NEW HAVEN, Conn. January 12.-Fac-
ulty interference in athletic management
has been the principal topic Of the week
among the undergraduates who remained
at Yale during the Christmas holidays.
There is a sentiment that the faculty is
growing strenuous in insisting on its right
to dictate in intercollegiate sports. The
statement, in view of the fact that the fac
ulty announced that it was satisfied with
the way the undergraduates governed sport
last year, is considered strange by many
who have not heard both sides of the case.
The first hitch between Inc student body
and the faculty occurred during the foot
ball season. According to a story that has
just come out, the faculty objected to GER
tain players who were technically eligible,
and insisted that they should be removed
from the squad. Not content with the
stand taken against the players, the fac
ulty named several coaches. old players
who had returned To college 10 help out
the team, and said that it would be better
for all concerned If these men were not
seen on the Yale field.
The latest invasion made by the factuly
into the realms of athletics during the
recent adoption of the base ball schedule
That body objected to the college playing
games with preparatory schools, and also
stated that the Easter trip must be cur
tailed. 1t also refused 70 TdtiJy Tic iiIdl
game with Princeton because it interfered
with the annual Yale scholarship examna-
ton.
There was also some talk o. cutting down
the schedule. This. however, was not done,
and the team will play thirty-four games.
The season begins week earlier than
usual and is harder and longer than it was
last spring. Several important changes APP
pear in the dates. Both the Exeter and
Andover games have been dropped, and a
game has been scheduled with Annapolis.
Tke Navy contest will be played during the
Easter trip, which Will consist of five games
in all.
Foot ball expenditures s another sub
ject that the faculty has recently taken up.
Ever since the season closed the under
graduates have been waiting to hear the
financial statement of the foot ball man
ager The statement is in the hands of the
faculty and is being carefully exam
ine3 with a view of suggesting way to
eliminate what the faculty considers need
less expenditures.
Barring only basket ball, the faculty is
satisfied with the Eli sports during the
year 1t is believed that the rules of
basket ball should have AL overhauling and
that the continual disqualification of teams
should be taken up by the intercollegiate
league. In spite of these objections, the
basket ball team is away on the longest
trip ever undertaken by Yale team. The
five Is going far south as New Orleans
and as far west Kansas City. The trip
will be more than 1900 miles in length.
Billy Lush. the professional coach OF the
Yale nine has charge of the team.

Strikes and Spares.
FLOURISHiNG RACING
CONDITIONS IN BELGIUM

BRUSSELS, January 12.-Racing in Bel
GUM has been summarized. The year 1906
has witnessed 147 meetings. with a total of
$40 races, and added money amounting to
$50 600. The Suburban Hippodrome at
Forest has raced during fifty days, and has
contributed something like $1250OO toward
the racing budget, or nearly as much as the
Ostend Society, which has been in such
flourishing condition since Baron Van Loo
took it in hand. Groenendal and Boitsfort,
under the immediate auspices Of the Bel
GUM Jockey Club, have offered $1,000
more, and the rest of the added money has
been contributed by the provincial societies.
Several propositions are at the moment
under the discussion of the committee of
the Jockey club for the Immediate benefit Of
racing Thus probably the club will secure
subscriptions to good sires at home or
abroad and hand them over at reduced
price to owners of approved mares. 1t Is
impossible to guess the reception that will
be accorded to the proposition affecting in
ternational racing. suggesting that no for
eign visitor shall be qualified to run for a
handicap unless he has previously figured
in a race or qualified for a selling handi-
cap, unless he has won at least one race,
while the amount for which he might enter
to be claimed shall in no case be lower than
$780,
Another proposition, born probably of the
riot at Longchamps, would seem to give the
stewards the right of annulling any start
In the event of the majority of the horses
at the post not getting on satisfactorily.
Perhaps the most startling among the add
tons suggested in the Belgium rules Of
racing is the extension OF all those dire
pains and penalties which awaited the luck
less wight who expressed any opinion con-
trary to the high. mighty and magnificent
members Of the race committee. It has
been proposed that this comminatory clause
shall affect even those who venture to at
tack the stewards or officials even beyond
the precincts of the race course, so that a
man who applies some swear words after
he has left the course may find himself
fined, and, in case OF second onense,
warned off"

ever, that this is impossible without the

Upton WANTS REAL
YACHTS, NOT PAINTINGS

LONDON, January 12-"Give US real
yachts, not playthings," Is about the sub
stance of article on the great sea sport
by Sir Thomas Upton in Yachting.
Sir Thomas Is strong in his declaration
that all yachts which challenge for de-
fend the Americas cup should be really
seaworthy sailing craft, and not high
strung, delicate speed toys whose useful
ness ends with the race.
Under the uniform rule adopted in 1905
it was hoped that a more wholesome type
of boat would appear" says Sir Thomas,
land the results of last seasons racing in
the United States have entirely justified
the hope. 1t is what has been needed both
here and abroad, a good. wholesome boat
a boat that can not only go fast, but can
give a good account of herself in heavy
weather; a boat that can cross the ocean
with no fears that it will succumb to wind
and waves on the way over.
LAS / conceive that clause in the rule
regulating contests for the Americas cup
yacht to cross the ocean under sail simply
to insure a good, wholesome racer, and
not a craft whose usefulness would be
ended the minute the International event
was over I confess that in bringing my
three Shamrocks to this side I did SO not
without misgivings that they would survive
the passage, misgivings not solely inspired
by the fear of the loss of the yachts them
selves as of the lives of the devoted men
who crossed in them
There is yet another point, and I think
q strong one. What really is the use of
racing with boats built under the old rule?
True, there is the event in itself. and an
exciting race, but little else There is moth
ing learned; the educational side of the
sport is neglected absolutely. Designers
grasp little or nothing that is new in con-
tempating the models of these racing ma
chimes but In yachts built for the Ameri-
cas- cup contest under the uniform rule
there would be much learned.
I'VE would see, for one thing, if the rule
as 1t stands produces an ideal racer or
whether more changes are needed, and by
the same token designers could go on from
these boats and design still more satisfac-
torily the boat qualified to stand rough
weather and yet at the same time break
records A record-breaking boat is possible
under the uniform rule, as the races of the
Queen and Effort testify.
Il am satisfied the trend of American
yachting will be toward the production of
this sort of boat"

Since the latest publication of the aver
ages of the Evening Star Duck Pin League
the Nonpariels have been keeping up their
good work and still lead the league by a
good percentage of 1888, having captured
the last three games from the Agates in
easy fashion. Although they are leading
the league. the Nopareils will have to hus-
tie, as the Minons are close upon their
heels, with only one game difference be-
tween them. The Minions also doing
their best work iii pin topping having cap
tured their last three games in just as easy
fashion as did the leaders, and when these
two teams meet in their next set of games
the leadership may be changed. Although
the Minions are in second place they have
toppled 1O7 more pins than the Nonpareils.
The other teams who have suffered more or
less occupy the lower positions of the
league In the individual averages Weller

Baum second with $50 and Wee Willie Col
