IN THE CASE OF RALPH ROSE
COLLECTING EVIDENCE ON THE
PACIFIC COAST.

SAN FRANCISCO, February 15.-Though
there have been no new developments in
the case of Ralph Rose. the giant athlete.
the officials of the Pacific Athletic Asso-
citation are still gathering evidence in the
matter. President Peixotto. as p result
OF his interview with DIR. Jordan of STAN
ford University, is in possession Of GER
tain facts regarding Yost and his connec-
tons with the Palo Alto University. and
also DR.. Jordans knowledge of the Ralph
Rose affair, which will allow for addi-
tional correspondence with men who are
entirely familiar with conditions as they
existed at the time Gregory was enticed
away to Michigan.
Mr. Mcdowell the representative of the
Stamford University on the board of gov
ernors of the P. A. A.. is also conducting
very earnest investigation along the
lines he and Peixotto have mapped out
together PeiXotto feels confident that
ence together they shall at least prove
many of the things DR.. Jordan has often
charged are unquestionably true.
Peixotto said: I'VE are taking uD the
case of these older athletes because at
tention has been called to their careless
methods of living up to the amateur rules
in the years gone by. We are face to
face with facts that many of our best
athletes are 1awbreakers. We can hardly
begin the investigation of the record of
any man but that We find him guilty of
some wrong, and the great question that
we will have to decide Is whether 1t Is
just to hold these men responsible for
their carelessness when the government
of the former P. A. A. was so loosely con-
Quoted. l find among all our California
athletes a willingness to abide by the law
and live up to just as strict rules as we
demand of them. Had this been the stand
- r hoy "a
the records of these men would not be
stained with their many misdeeds.
The cases seem SO difficult To decide
that / have asked Mr.. James E. Sullivan
to give his opinion as to whether we had
better start at this time and demand that
this negligence shall never again be a
part OF our athletic life. Until l have a
reply from the east we cannot give a de-
cided answer to the many careless flaws
in the Rose. Glarner and other notable
cases. In the meantime we have gone to
every possible extreme to lay the facts
before the registration committee. and
when the time comes all the evidence re-
garding these men will be in our pos
session"
According to a ruling OF the joint fac
ulty athletic committee of Stanford and
the University of California. st. Mary's,
Santa Clara and ST. Vincents colleges
will be barred from competing against
the university teams beginning next fall.
The action which bars the cOlegians is
directed against so-caled 'semi-profes-
sionals,' and was taken at the annual
meeting of the joint committee held at
the University Club in San Francisco.

SAENGERS CREEP
UP ON THE FAT MEN
Latter Drop Two Games to the
Orientals in the District
Bowling League.

At last the Fat Men again butted into
the last column in the District Bowling
League. They dropped two games to the
Orientals on the latter's alleys. and the
Saengers now have lost only one more
game than the leaders. The Orientals
jumped up past the Bank Clerks by their
victory over the Fats. while the Florists
were setting a seasons record for them
selves by taking three straight games
from the Bankers
Although the Fats dropped slightly of
in percentage. they broke the tie with the
Saensers in team average. In their set
with the Florists they easily cleaned up
the rosegrowers with their highest set
this season., 974-which pulled their aver
age up from 9O7 to 1910 per game. Both
the leaders and runners-uo are now very
close, and as a tie in games won and lost
is possible much interest attaches to team
average as in such event the champion
ship goes to the team with the most pins
per game.
Bontz improved his position as leader of
the league. He gained point in average,
while O'Donnell dropped off two. Waters
of the Fat Men is now virtually second,
as Miller of the Bund. with 1870 average,
cannot bowl enough games to qualify.
The averages and standing follow:

RAGING ON new YORK TRACKS
ELABORATE PREPARATIONS BY
THE VARIOUS ASSOCIATIONS.

NEW YORK February lJ.-There will
be racing around New York during the
coming summer even if Gov. Hughes sue
ceeds in his fight to wipe out bookmaking.
This fact is evidenced by the elaborate
preparations being made by the various
racing associations in the metropolitan
circuit. Indeed the track owners are
going ahead with their plans just as if
there never was an effort being mace
to wipe out the sport
The state racing commission filed no
tees that licenses had been granted to
nine tracks that do business in the state,
as follows: WINCHESTER Racing Associa-
ton. Coney Island Jockey Club Brooklyn
Jockey Club. Brighton Beach Racing AS
ISOLATION. Saratoga Racing Association,
Queens County Jockey Club, Metropolitan
Jockey Club Empire City Racing Associa-
ton and Buffalo Racing Association.
At Sheepshead Bay they are putting the
finishing touches TO about sl50.0OO worth
of improvements. Gravesend is also
being renovated and the Empire Racing
Association will spend $4,000 on improve
ments before the meeting at Yonkers
opens in August.
All this means that there Will be racing
The people are prepared for trouble. even
if the anti-racing bill fails. They realize
that an attack will be made on the present
system of bookmaking, and that bet
ting may have to be carried on as ii was
at Benning last year This is the So
called perambulating system. 1t worked
all right at BenninS. bat ii would cause
lot of trouble in New York, because
the crowds are larger and there will be
bigger array of bookmakers. The
plan would cause CONSERVATION a big
day like Futurity day. a bettor could
never find his man in the mob.
Since the track people are taking the
anti-racing fight seriously. many sug-
gestions have been made TO keep the sport
above water if the present tight fails

MAY CONSTRUCT GROUNDS.
Detroit Has Hard Work to Find
Early Training Place.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. February I.-Base
ball parks have become so scare for
training purposes in the southern states
during the spring time when major league
clubs clamor for temporary homes that
the Detroit club may take the initiative
and build grounds in Hot Springs. Ark.
Wilmington Park, the only Enclosure
at the springs. has been leased outright
by the Pittsburg MANAGEMENT for several
seasons. Correspondence has been going
on between Hot Springs officials and the
-etroit management which may lead to
the building of another park on plateau
like plot of ground in the suburbs and
within easy access of trolley. Meanwhile
the Detroit team is having some trouble
in locating spot to train during March.
Boston has permission TO practice at

BIG OFFERS TO "PUGS."
Fight Promoters After Unholz and
Mcfarland.

NEW YORK. February 15.-Fight pro-
moters Tom McCarey of the Pacific y.
c. of Los Angeles, Jimmy Coffroth OF
the Colma A. c. and Jack Gleason of the
san Francisco Club are trying TO outbil
each other in their efforts to bring about
a match between Rudolph UnholZ. the
South African champion. and Packey
Mcfarland SinceUnholz defeated Bat
Ting Nelson every one of these promoters
has been making the managers of both
at their club.
Battling Nelson has been completely
ignored, and it looks now as if a match
will be speedily arranged between Nc
Farland and UnholZ. who will battle for
the lightweight championship title.
Nelson has taken a lot of pounding in
every one of his fights. But he doesn t
seem to worry over il and after time
is always ready for another mill Cans
predicted after the Goldfield scrap that
Nelson would never be in shape to fight
again This prediction looked good when
Nelson met Britt. James gave him the
worst beating Of his career and during
the last half of the twentieth round had
Nelson hanging on the ropes, unable TO
raise an arm to cover himself.
RingsiderS at that fight say that Mel
son would surely have been knocked out
in ten seconds more. as he must have
gone down, and once on the floor wouldn I
have been able to get up. even II he was
conscious. But that remains TO be proven.
Nelson hasn't been knocked out yet. Tn
til some one actually slows him away he
will have to be considered among the live
ones.
Joe Mulvihlll wishes to spread the good
news that there will be ten-round scraps
within another month and in easy reach
of New York. The conditions will be the
same that prevail just now ill Los An
geles-no decisions. but no restrictions on
the scrapping. South Norwalk will be tie
new fisIic mecca. The council there has
framed il boxing ordinance. MulVihill
has organized the Crown \. c. Of South
Norwalk. and says that he will be ready
to put on men like Owen Moran. Baker,
Nelson, Attell, ETC.. by the first Of March.

1t is a mistake to allow any one to
suffer from rheumatism, as the pain
can always be relieved. and in most
cases cure effected by applying Cham
berlin's Liniment. The relief from
pain which it affords is alone worth
many times its cost 1t makes sleep

long atanding this liniment should be
used on account of the relief which

Big Airship Feature at Spokane Fair

E. H. Hutchinson, Of Spokane, re-
turned home last week from trip to
St. Paul, where he attended the annual
session OF the Imperial Council Mobiles
OF the Mystic Shrine. He stopped at
Fargo where the North Dakota state
fair was being held. He said that the
airship which is to be at the interstate
fair in Spokane was one of the marvels
of their show. The airship sailed all
over the fair grounds, following the
race horses around the track, and after
being propelled around for an hour
lighted in front OF the grandstand. The
balloon then assembled and navigated
further around the grounds for 80 min
utes. 1t has a dynamo which operates
a propeller in front of the balloon
which is oval-shaped and o5 feet long.
1t is steered by large canvas rudder.
There were $4,000 people at the fail
to see the flight of the airship.

THE ANTI LEAGU T
Two State Conventions Held at Seattle and
Spokane This Week

Lest there be undue quibbling with
regard to the meaning of what reason
able local option" is, the Anti-Saloon
League called two state conventions
of all the temperance forces of the
state for the purpose of deciding upon
the form OF the local option bill which
the people want presented to the next
session Of the Legislature. These con-
ventions were held at Spokane and
Seattle on Tuesday and Wednesday re-
spectively.
These meetings were held for the
purpose of ascertaining just what the
people OF the state Of Washington want
in the way of temperance legislation.
Each good government club, civic
league, law and order society, or other
organization looking to the betterment
of moral conditions, were invited to
send delegates. In this way it was
anticipated that such bill could be
agreed upon as would best represent
the wishes of those opposed to the
liquor traffic. The exact drafting of
the bill was left to committee com
posed of men who have been interested
in the passage of local option bills in
the past and lawyers whose. ability can
not be questioned. The conventions,
however, determined upon the general
features OF the bill, such as the amount
OF territory to cover in the unit
whether the precinct, incorporated city,
or the county, or all three. There are
those who believe the temperance SEN
timent OF the state demands a state
wide bill, but this was left for future
development.
