WANT COLE CHAMPIONSHIPS.
Lakewood Asks for Women's Event.
West and East Rivals for Others.

NEW YORK, December 11.-When the
delegates to the annual meeting Of the
United States Golf Association meet at
Sherry's Friday evening. January 8. they
will find that several applications have
been filed for the championship tourna-
ments Of the coming year. For the anna
teur and the open events the east and
the west are rivals. The Chicago Golf
Club and the Deal Country Club of New
Jersey have requested the amateur event.
and the Englewood Golf Club and the
open event.
1t Is thus manifest that the westerners
feel that they will secure one of these
championships leaving the rivalry for the
other event between Englewood and Deal.
AS the amateur contest was held at Car
den City this year. the natural inference
Is that the west has somewhat of a prior
right to the blue ribbon golf contest. but
the sentiment of the delegates may deem
otherwise.
The Country Club of Lakewood has re-
quested the women's championship. There
is no other direct application for the
women's golf event. and it is quite likely
that Lakewood would Be eminently favor
able to the eastern players. There is,
however, a general rival to all these. the
Nassau Country Cub having modestly
presented it's offer for any championship.
| ]. William Mckinley OF the Columbia
Golf Club, Washington, D. c.. has asked
that the constitution be amended by
to that of active club and allied club to
associate, the two club divisions, there
! fore, to be active and associate instead of
associate and allied.

1oYoLA COLLEGE VS.. PREPs.
Georgetown Youngsters Will Meet
Oriole Crowd Tomorrow.

At $50 pm. tomorrow afternoon in
Ryan gymnasium. Georgetown College.
the Georgetown Props and Loyola Col
lege Of Baltimore will meet in a game Of
basket ball. This contest will be the first
to be played between these two rival
Jesuit institutions for a number of years.
but now that the two schools have finally
come together it is expected that the
battles between them.
The Baltimoreans have pretty strong
team this year. and SO confident are they
of their ability that they have arranged
a schedule on which are the names Of
many of the college teams Of this part
Of the country. not even excepting the
Naval Academy. With an end in view Of
developing speed and endurance as the
winter progresses. they have begun by
taking on quints from the strongest Of
the prep schools in the vicinity of Bal
timore. and the first of these is the
Georgetown team
AS for the hilltop bunch, they have
played In excellent form at some stages
of the season, but showed up weak in
the game "Wednesday night against the
Y. M. C.. a. Reserves. Coach Joyce,
however, thinks that the slump was only
a temporary one. and he feels certain that
his charges will play the game of their
life against the Oriole quint. Their line
up remains the same. excepting that Sora
will probably take Kerwins place at
guard.
A large crowd Is expected to come over
from Baltimore with the Loyola team,
and the props are sure to have big
following, so that, considering the fact
that no admission is charged to Ryan
gymnasium, goodly number will. in all
probability, be on hand to see the settle
ment OF which Is the better team.

w1NANs BUYS SIR MARTIN.
Noted Colt Will Be Taken to Eng
land by New Owner.

NEW YORK, December 1.-THE sale of
Sir Martin, the champion two-year-old
colt of 1908, which has been pending since
early fall, was completed yesterday. and
the announcement Of the transfer Of the
horse to his new owner, Louis Winans.
was made by John f.. Madden. who bred
and developed the colt. With Sir Martin
also was sold the colt Edward of the
same age.
The horses were taken from the Madden
training stable at the Sheepshead Bay
track promptly after the completion of
the purchase, and were turned over to the
Tichenor-Grand Company, to be cared
for until they can be shipped to England,
where Mr.. Winans will race them next
year.
Sir Martin is a chestnut colt, by Ogden
Lady Sterling, and Edward is brown or
black colt, by Plaudit-Pessara. The price
paid for the pair was not made public. but
Mr.. Madden stated that the amount was
originally fixed by Mr.. Madden for Sir
Martin and Fayette. the two best colts
in his stable, was $4,000, and because he
held out for that sum and would not sell
the colts separately, prospective buyers
OF Sir Martin held Off After long delay
Mr.. Madden finally changed his mind and
sold Sir Martin without Fayette, but un-
der terms that secured a buyer for the
colt Edward, both of which are engaged
In English stakes, and are intended by
Mr.. Winans to- race in England.
Fayette, which was left In the Madden
stable, was at once ordered to the Ben
ming track Washington, to join the Mad
den horses wintering there, and will race
in the Madden string In this country next
season.
The purchaser of Sir Martin and Ed
ward is a wealthy American who for
many years has lived in England, and
there taken a lively interest in horse
breeding and turf sport. He Is one of
two brothers. Louis and Walter Winans
both of whom have been interested chiefly
in harness-bred horses in the past. They
were prominent buyers of American-br
trotting horses, and very recently Louis
Winans bought the sensational trotter Al
Ian Winters, winner of the $50, 900 trotting
handicap at the Readville track, for a
price reported as $4,000. and a week ago
shipped the horse to England.
In the purchase of Sir Martin and Ed
ward Mr.. Winans was represented by F.
Vivian Gooch. the English saddle horse ex-
pert and judge at the national horse show
in Madison Square Garden. and the pur-
chase was made by Mr.. Gooch for Mr.
Winans on the report of DR.. Shepard, the
Sheepshead Bay veterinary surgeon, who
on Wednesday examined the colts and
passed OH them as sound.
Arrangements for the shipping of the
colts to England have not been made vet
but it was stated that they would go on
the first available ship. and it is likely
that this will be on the Atlantic Trans
port Line steamer Mesaba tomorrow.

merit in the attitude of the two minors
and that the governors of the game be-
lieve that to make any concessions now
would result in further demands. with
base ball war as the inevitable result.
The inside facts Of the conference he
Wednesday between the national commits
sion and the representatives of the two
rebel circuits. H. ]. killilea, p. T. Powers
and j. D. O'Brien, are interesting. IL
appears that when Attorney Killilea, a
former American League man. had made
his plea for the sulking minors he re-
ceived a severe scoring from j. H. Far
rell, NJ. II. Sexton and T. II. Murnane.
representing the National Association,
who proceeded to tangle Killilea up In
such a manner that he fina ly showed the
weakness of his case. AS Farrell, Sexton
and Murnane were loudly praised by ma
jor league men yesterday for the way
they had scored Killilea. it became ap-
parent on the surface that the minors
were up against a stone wall.
From several of the big men in base ball
it was learned that under the surface the
Eastern League men, together with their
American Association allies, have formu-
lated a pan to organize new major
league circuit next season for the purpose
of invading Pittsburg, Chicago. Cincin-
natl and other cities with the idea of get
ting their hands on some Of the big profits
enjoyed by the big leaguers. For this
reason, 1t was stated yesterday the minors

be forced to show their hands in a real
fght-that is, II they have enough nerve
to begin one.
James McAleer, manager OF the st.
Louis Browns, took exception to a para
graph yesterday to the effect that these
are lonesome days for him because other
managers are afraid to make trades with
him. 1T was lonesome for me up to mid
night" said McAleer, land the paragraph
in that respect was correct. But finally
pulled off q deal by which st. Louis gets
Catcher Lou Criger from the Boston
Americans in exchange for Catcher Spen-
Ger and $4,000. 1 have made no mistake
here. Criger is one Of the greatest catch
ers in the game and will strengthen the
Browns at least 25 per cent. ! have some
young pitchers whom Criger will greatly
help, and that means much. When g. ball
team has q star catcher that is half OF
the game. I knew that when the Browns
finished last seasons campaign, for If we
had had Criger behind the bat We would
probably have won the pennant. Criger
has base ball brains and his ability Is
well known. Spencer, who goes to Bos-
ton, is a good backstop, but he Is a trif1e
too heavy. I am glad that the deal has
gone through and feel sure that have
secured the best end Of it." It Is matter
of fact, however. that McAleer was in
hiding while owner Hedges of St. Louis
negotiated the deal with John l. Taylor
and Manager Fred Lake OF the Boston
club. If McAleer had shown himself the
Hub men would probably have suffered
from a sudden attack of cold feet. When
denly appeared wearing broad smile.
Many base ball men said yesterday that
the St Louis manager had contaminated
another of his gold brick transactions
which have made him a terror to rival
managers and club owners.

|Attell and Wolgast Fight Tonight

LOS ANGELES, December H.
Abe Attell and Ad WOlgast finished
the work of training yesterday and
are in perfect form for their cham
pionship battle tonight at Jeffries'
Arena. Attell is as confident of VIM
ming as he ever was in all his life,
and departs from his usual custom
of not advising his friends regard
ing the betting when he is asked as
to his chances by telling them to
plunge on him for a good thing
winner. Abe says he is ready ior
the battle of his life, if it should
be found necessary for him to so
extend himself. and he predicts that
he will knock out the Milwaukee
boy.
Wolgast never trained for any
battle with the consistency and
faithful regard for every detail that
has characterized his work in the
short training period. that he has
had for preparing for this one.
Both men will easily make the
weight required at G o'clock this

Many Want Tillman's Favorite Dish

\ year or two ago Senator Tillman
gave to a chef in the Senate restaurant
a recipe for an excellent corned beef
hash, the fame of which speedily pene-
trated to the uttermost recesses of the
Capitol.
When the head waiter wants this hash
prepared with unusual care, he orders IL
in this wise:
.'One corned-beef hash for Senator
Tillman.
One day recently during the luncheon
hour the restaurant was doing a land
office business, and everybody seemed
to want corned-beef hash. Ten times at
least did waiter approach the serving
table with the order for Senator TIL
mans corned beef"
Finally the thing got on the chefs
nerves. Look heah!' he shouted to one
waiter, bringing the same old order.
Oats de twelfth order for Senator Till
man. He better watch out or he'll
founder hisself."

Roger Bresnahan set out for Toledo
last night very much soured on the base
ball profession and the Giants in particu-
lar. Roger Is DESTROYS of becoming a
manager, and would like to land the St.
Louis berth. Stanley Robson was willing
to give Pitcher Raymond and Outfielder
Murray for the Giant backstop and q bit
of extra cash. McGraw said he would
consider the offer If Schlei of the Reds
could be thrown in. There is no chance
of Bresnahan getting away. The Buck
eye sleuth intimated that since the Giants
consider him SO valuable he may look for
big salary boost when Knowles hands
out the contracts.
Ned Hanlon and Jack Dunn are not on
the very best of terms. Dunn thinks
himself entitled to a raise Of 1000 for
landing the Eastern League pennant with
the Orioles. Dunn would look good either
to the Cardinals or Reds in case managers
are not at once found, and Hanlon would
have no difficulty in getting good price
for his leader. Dunn says he will not go
