PRESIDENT MAY GIVE
OLYMPIC HERO A JOB
Authenticated Reports from Washing
ton Say That Melvin w. Sheppard
Will Be Made Inspector In
Customs Service

NEW YORK, Oct 17.--Melvin w.
Sheppard of the rish-American Ath-
letic club, the speediest middle dis
lance runner of America and one of
the heroes of the Olympic games, is
likely to have another distinction con-
ferred upon him in the shape of an
appointment direct from President
Roosevelt, according to a we'll authen-
ticated report from Washington.
The news comes that Sheppard will
be made night inspector in the United
States customs service Mt Philadelphia
and that he will not be subjected to
the civil service regulations. In that
case Sheppard will be compelled to re-
move to the Quaker city and thus
sever his connections with the irish
American Athletic club.
Sheppard's probable appointment is
thought to be due to his magnificent
performance at the Olympic games in
London last July. He broke all the
Olympic records in the 800 and 1900
meter runs, covering the former dis
tance in 1853 AS. The later was made
in 4:03 2-5
In America Sheppard holds the 900
yard record of 2:01 As, and at half
mile he has been champion for three
years. Last year he ran the distance
in 1:55 Is, some two seconds slower
than the time of Fitzpatrick, the rec
ord holder, and last month the Travers
island meet brought him the A. A. M.
honors in :55 3-5.

poor chance to bet on. The bunch is
twelve full games in the lead and must
lose every game, including todays'
while Portland must win every one re-
naming to be played. Such chance
cannot be classed as a chance, so the
fans can resign themselves to the fate
of being burdened for another year
with a pennant-winning team, thanks
to Hen Berry.
Jack Redmond of Milwaukee is no
more. He is not dead, but has decided
to resume his correct name, instead or
making fame under a ring name. His
name in fact and in future is Henry
Hoppe. He says that he was substi-
tuted for a fighter named Jack Red
mond long time ago, and since that
time had been known as Jack Red
mond. Now that he is having good
success he wishes to be known by his
own name. He knocked out Herb White
in the ninth round at San Bernardino
last Friday night.
Jack Doyle attended banquet given
to the Vernon trustees few nights
ago and since then has been suffering
with bum foot. Somebody suggested
that he had the govt and as he actually
consumed n dish of ice cream there
may be something in the story.

oughbred horses, including in the num-
Der the most famous and successful
racers in the James r. Keene, Harry
Payne Whitney and August Belmont
stables, sailed on board the Atlantic
Transport line steamer Minnehaha to-
day for England, where the greater
number of the horses will be trained for
racing next season. Others of the cargo
of horses will be sent to France.
Among the most notable of the con-
signment was that of James r. Keene,
which comprised the great 3-year-old
Colin, unbeaten in his two years of
racing and winner of fifteen races and
$1S1, 200; Ballot, unbeaten this season,
and winer of the Suburban. and the
2-year-olds Suffragette, Selectman,
Wanda, Melisande, Wedding Bells and
Esperanto.
The Whitney shipment was made up
of Stamina, the best 3-year-old tilly
of 1908; Baby Wolf, Delirium and Dinna
Ken; of the 2-year-olds Perseus, Rob-
bin, Hillside and Field Daisy. and six
teen yearlings from the Whitney breed
ing farm. With the Whitney horses
went Priscillian, unbeaten this season,
and Antaeus, owned by August Bel
mont. They will be followed later by
Belmont champion money winning g.
year-old. Fair Play.
H. B. Duryea shipped the gelding Ben
Ban, the 2-year-old FLIES Mediant and
Spectatress, and two yearlings and
band of half a dozen brood mares,
which are destined to France. where
Duryea will breed horses for racing in
France.
Thomas Hitchcock, jr., also sent a
stable of steeplechasers, which are eX
pected to race in France.

Gaines, yesterday announced that the

make it worth while. Manager Nc
Carey is digging around in his files for
another card for that date and prob
ably will arrange one that will be-

Van Haltren is reported as having
protested every game that Oakland
and Los Angeles played last week at
the Chutes alleging that the substi-
tuition of Reach balls for the Spalding
article is sufficient to render null and
void all games played with the former
ball While the Spalding ball is the
Official ball of the league, Cap Dill
lon ran out of them and had to sub
stitute the Reach ball. The protest
will be dismissed as frivolous, no
doubt. and Van will be fined the drinks
for taking up the time of the league
directors with such a fiimsy excuse for
a protest.

on a big scale, but 1T is what the New

race meetings. The pool rooms were
closed down in the state because of a
personal fight between a politician and
one of the Lake Charles pool room

JUPITER PLUV did not do thing
i to sports yesterday. Football
u seemed to be about the only out
door sporting event that came off ac-
cording to schedule down this way.
the open-air fight between Ad Wolgast
and Freddie Weeks being postponed
until tomorrow afternoon and the Los
Angeles Oakland game at the Chutes
also being postponed and probably
called off. Hunters who again tried
for a few quail for today's feast were
tickled to death to get under shelter
and abandon the sport. Fishermen re-
turned early to avoid an impromptu
shower bath, and amateur ball games,
in most instances, were put on the call
endar for future decision of called off
entirely. Rain at this time of the year
is a novelty, and it might be said that
it is unappreciated by the sporting ele-
ment. Many plans for today were
called off last evening, and even If the
sun shines throughout the period al
lotted to 1t, there will be an unusually
large number of persons In the stay-at-
home division for one Sunday.
1t seems to be the universal opinion
of fight fans that the two fight clubs
are crowding on too much steam just
at present, with two shows week, and
that opinion undoubtedly Is justified.
The show down at Maud Junction did
not prove as profitable Friday night as
1t should have done. because the VOL
CAST Weeks scrap was on the boards
for the following afternoon. Instead of
covertly fighting among themselves in
clashing dates, it would seem to the
casual observer that the promoters
would get together and agree upon
dates for, say, a month in advance,
with no conflicting attractions. One
show a week is sufficient, and the fans
will support the clubs under such an
arrangement; but to attempt to put
on a show at each club every week is
crowding things too much, and the
clubs will lose money by 1t.
Only two more weeks remain of the
Coast league season. and the Angels
will play at home throughout this fort
night San Francisco win come south
Tuesday, and Portland will wind up
the season with a series beginning
week later. There are some postponed
games that may be played, but 1t is
doubtful, as the postponed games with
Oakland cannot be played unless one
of the teams makes an extra trip at big
expense. which would be un1ustified by
the receipts. There is possible chance
that the Angels will be beaten for the
pennant, but it is so near to the impos-
sible that it looks like ridiculously

BALDWIN STREET
Property Owners Do Not Want
 Proposed Improvements.

Already enough has been said in public way with reference to the proposed Improvements on Baldwin street to satisfy the powers that be that nobody wants it. The plan sub mitted has been in preparation since Mayor Elton was in office, when it was decided that the street needed attention, and is much more elab- crate and expensive than those now in office would suggest. At the com- mencement of the present year Al derman Scully of the fifth ward ad- vocated the removal of the old stone walls on the east side of the street and the substitution therefore of something more sightly;. also the construction of a suitable retaining wall on Baldwin street opposite what is commonly known as the Donahue property. He also called attention to the need of some chang es in the grade of the sidewalk and gutter on the west side. This was opposed and a vote passed request ing MT Cairns to submit the plan he had been working in the hope that he had something better. The en- gineer's efforts have fallen far short of meeting the views of the interest ed parties and very few showed much enthusiasm regarding what the alderman from the district had proposed, many taking the ground that the street is all right and that the walls are good enough. The aim of the department of public works was to do something hand some on Baldwin street next year and in this way make amends for the damage done when the trolley rails were laid in the street, but as there is no disposition whatever on the part of anybody connected with the city government to be arbitrary it looks as if nothing will be done until the people change their minds. Inasmuch as the plan which MT Scul- ly had in mind would put the entire expense upon the public he says he does not see why anybody should object so long as nobody would lose any property, no building would be interfered with and the unsighsly and unsafe walls would be replaced with something better and the grade of the street changed within it's present lines and things made better all around, not only for peo- pie who live between the points mentioned, but those above and be- low them, and the public generally, but that is not here or there now. Public sentiment so far as it has been expressed is hostile to a change and so long as this is so the peo- pie may rest assured that their wishes will be respected. Perhaps the people themselves know what is best. In any case there is no need to be alarmed about this matter be- cause it will lot be thrust upon them.

Children of Mrs Bushe Committed

 Mrs Mary McGowan has been be- having herself so during the past few weeks that her daughters Helen and Loretta found they could put with her no longer and had her arrested last night for intoxication. In the city court to-day they testified against her though it was quite evident they felt the pity of the situation, and the woman was committed to jail for thirty days.

They put up story which was torn to pieces by the police and each was committed 10 jail for thirty days.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS

Jesse Deyine, son of Mir and Mrs Jeremiah Devine of Bank street, will graduate from the New York law school on Monday.
 The Brooklyn drug stores will observe holiday hours tomorrow. They will close from 1 to in the afternoon and at o'clock in the evening.
 Memorial day promises to be quiet in this section. No special events have been arranged for the day. It is expected that the usual crowd will pass through Brooklyn on their way to Riverside cemetery.
 Although the restaurant of the American Brass Co in it's building on Bank street is still in operation, its business has fallen off 1onsidera- bly. When the factory had a full force of clerks the restaurant was a rather busy place duringi the noon hour. But since the iuif in busi- ness came the patronage of. the res taurant was much affected. More over, the company found that 1t was losing money because of it's low prices and in it's inexperience in con. ducting such a business. At present it is serving a light lunch. but in all probability when business booms again it will perhaps cater on the larger scale it did when 1t first start ed.

JOHN B. MORAN HURT
Thrown From Wagon and Had
 Left Arm Fractured.

John B. Moran while driving down the Waterville end Of Cooke street this morning was thrown from the wagon and was rather badly shaken up. His left arm was broken, his face badly cut and there was num- Der of concussions made on his body. Moran was carried into a house near by where he was attended by Dr James l.. Moriarty Moran had al- most reached the foot of the hill when the harness on the horse broke. Moran realized that the animal was likely to run away, so he had the presence of mind to jerk the rein and turn the horse into small by path.
 The jolt of the wagon as it struck the g,flley when it turned from the road was such that the driver was bumped off the seat and landed hard in the road. He struck on his side and the left arm was badly fractured. He will be laid up for some time.
