BASEBALL ON THE ICE.

MARION, O., Feb. 1O.-A series OF
baseball games on ice is the newest
twist in Ohio winter sports. Three
teams are. to skate in h latest ath-
letic pastime on the diamond of the
Annex Club. in Prospect, Marion
County.
The diamond is a glazing sheet Of
ice and the idea Of utilizing 1t germi-

Delaware team and to the Arenas, of

Another victory was hung up by the
Quickstep hockey team Saturday, the
victims this time being the Molawks,

at the Park A. A. rink, taking tho place
of the scheduled contest between the
Quicksteps and the Ell Cid A. c., Of

The first half was pretty evenly
played, as the Quicksteps had several
new men on their lineup, but at h end
of the first half Wertz shot the disc for
the only tally in that period.
In the second half both sides started
to rough it up a little and 1t was not

little captain of the Quicksteps, planted
the puck between the posts for the
second tally. Soon after the next fall

TOMMY BURNS STRONG
FAVORITE OVER PALMER

Tommy Burns will pick up a few
stray sovereigns tonight. All he has
to do to get the coin is to knock one
Jack Palmer into q horizontal position.
The fight will take place in old London,
the scene of the Canadians previous
victory. The men are scheduled to
battle twenty rounds al catch weights.
Even the English chappies consider
Burns the probable winner. Most of
the betting is on the question as to
whether Mr.. Noah Brusso will be able
to stop the European gent within ten
rounds.
The American is still a strong favor
lite in the betting. Even the North
countrymen, who are noted for the
way in which they will back IN Eng
lishman against a foreign fighter, are
asking long odds before laying their
money. They have offered, however,
to place $4,000 at 2 to l that Palmer
will stay six rounds. Burns's hackers
have not taken this bet, but Burns be-
lieves that the fight will not last
longer than that. He said recently
that he intended to make the contest
as short as possible, as he has an en-
gagement to give "a number of exhibit

tions next week and must get into
shape again for the fight with John
Roche in Dublin on March II. Richard
Croker, the former Tammany leader
and one of tine hackers of the Irish
champion, is returning from Egypt to
see the battle.
Palmer is considered a somewhat
better fighter than Gunner Moir, whom
Burns put away in ten rounds, but
has a reputation for hitting low, it
being on an alleged foul blow that NOR
was given the decision over him when
last they met.
The betting at the clubs is 6 to 4 in
favor of Burns. Robert Watson. a
sporting writer who Burns wanted as
referee in his fight with NOR, will act
in that capacity in the fight.
Burns has been offered $4,000 to go
to Paris in April to meet a French
boxer. They are very anxious to see
Tommy perform in. the Gay CITY,

Henley eligibility rules are to prevail
In the Olympic rowing regatta to be
held on the Thames course in England
next ummer This means that America
will find it practically impossible to
send a representative team to compete
in the great International tournament.
While it was recognized that for he
Henley regatta the English had a right
to make their own rulings, it is felt
that for the Olympic contests some-
thing more liberal should hay been de-
vised. The Henley rules define an
amateur as one who has never been
employed in manual labor for money
or wages, or who has never been, by
trade or employment for wages, a me-
ohanic, artisan or laborer, or engaged
in any mental duty. Then. again,
Americans are required to make an en-
try not later than June /, though the
regatta Is not to be held until July %.
Inasmuch as the Poughkeepsie regatta
is not to be held until the latter part
of June, 1t will be impossible to get
any line of the ability of the oarsmen
to take part in these contests, except
by guesswork. 1t is more THAI likely
that CornelI's varsity eight will be con-
sidered as the most dangerous propo-
sition on this side Of the big pond, and
the Ithacans may be picked by the
judges, who will have to use their w
Judgment as to the formation of the
second eight. For the singles and the
four-oared crews the judges will have
to pick the men who look he best,
basing an opinion on the work done
during the season prior to June 1. The
American Henley. to be held on the
Schuylkill May 26, will probably aid
the committee somewhat. The rules
for the Olympic regatta further stipu-
late that the expenses of the oarsmen
must be paid by themselves OF by the
organization they represent, thus bar
ring public subscriptions.
1t is probable tina the next football
gam between the Army and Navy
elevens will be played at h Polo
grounds, in Manhattan. 1t is said that
petty annoyances, n of which was
the refusal of the University of Penn
sylvania authorities to again allow the
erection of a temporary stand, which
would mean cutting down the seating
capacity for the contest some 5000, led
the committee having in charge the ar
rangenents for the big game to open
up negotiations with the New York
National League Club, which controls
the Polo grounds. If the deal goes
through. there will be a number OF
other big football matches arranged for
the Polo grounds, in order to help pay
the cost OF erecting stands. 1t has
already been announced that the Car
Isle Indians will play the University
OF Michigan eleven in Manhattan, and
il is not improbable that the Princeton
Tigers. who last year beat the redmen
on the Polo grounds, will again secure
this money-winner as a New York at
traction. Three big games, such as the

City has a strong nucleus to build up
It's team, and Buckenberger at Roches-
ter has been buying several big
leaguers to bolster up his team. Figure
it out and you will see that no team
will have a walkover this year"
No matter how close the race, how
ever, there is room for four. clubs in
the first division and room for n in
first place. Knowing S%tallings's sue
cess in the past, his willingness to dig
down into his pockets and his friendly
relations with major league managers,
the Newark fans are confident in his
ability to produce a team that will be
up in the race.

S~thllings had but one bad veal at
Buffalo. That was In 1905. o mis-
fortune after another fell to the lot of
the Bisons' manager that season. The
death of his father and other happen
ings called Stallings South for a long
time.
During his absence the Buffalo team,
being without a leader, lost game after
game late in the season, and finished
fifth in the standing. That was the
year Providence won the flag, beating
out Baltimore and Jersey City in a
llair-raising finish.
The Newark manager left last night
for his home in Georgia. He expects
to return in two weeks and will then
order his players to report.
