PULLIAN TURNED
DOWN BY COLLEGES

NEW YORK, Feb. 1O.-Now Harry
Pulliam, the aggressive president OF the
National League, has received rebuke
at the hands Of the colleges
He has bo-n relieved Of the task of
selecting the umpires for the big col
Iege games, owing TO the arbitrary way
he picked officials displeasing TO the
student players. This coming soon
after lis row with the minor league as
ISOLATION, IS likely to protract Pulliam'
stay ia the woods for the benefit of his
health.
Harvard. Princeton. and Yale took
the initiative in depTlvtns Pulliam OF
the hono~ Of selecting the UDpires. These
institutions had become disguised by
Pulliam's persistency in appointing men
curing the past two years who had
previously given dissatisfaction by their
rulings on the diamond. The colleges
protested. but Puliiam ignored the COM
plants and followed his own lncllna-
lions in the matter.
At the end of last season the colleges
determined to act. They agreed on an
other way 10 select umpires, and never
Informed pulliam until the present time.
Under the new system the managers OF
the college teams will correspond until
they agree on an umpire. The othClals

EMERSON RELAY

Wortendyke, last year a member Of

MATCH TONIGHT
Special Incentives tor
WreStlerS to Do
Their Best.

Rob Roy Mackey and Joe Turner meet
tonight at the National Guard gymnas-
ium in a finish wrestling match for the
benefit Of the National Guard athletic
Association,
This match promises 10 be fast and
unusually interesting. Mackey has long
been considered in this section the best
welterweight wrestler in the South, and
has stood OF frst-class heavyweights in
limited bouts. Turner is an ex-pupH Of
Mackey, and started as a lightweight
several years ago, but IN the past year
has developed into a classy welter, with
strength, speed, and science
The winner tonight viii be considered
the king-pin grappler of Washington,
and should be kept busy with profitable
matches not only for the remainder of
the present season, but neXt year. The
match promises TO be decisive, for II IS
not at all likely that the Washington
public, promoters, or hall Owr ers would
stand for the old merTy-gO-TOund game,
and there is not much prospect OF the
loser getting a return match. The vim
lose. lOse-win proposition in wrestling
is such hoary device for attracting big
gates that the local Sans are wise ia

SKATING RECORDS
GET SEVERE JOLT

CHICAGO, Feb. Go-One worlds rec
ord and Two State records were broken
in the big skating meet held at the
Logan Square rink yesterday afternoon.
Morris Wood, ex-amateur champion OF
the world, lowered the worlds record
for the 220-yaTd dash on a nine-lap
track, covering the distance in twenty
seconds fat, beating the old mark by
two-firths Of a second. AdOIph Ander-
son, the local boy who won so many
races down East the past fortnight,
lowered the State records for the mile
and half mile. He skated the mile in
2;49. The old record was 1904 Is. The
half re did in 1:25, four and four-ffths
seconds better than the former mark.
The peculiar things about the new
records is that both Wood and AndeT-
son broke records Of their own. Wood S
old mark Eur the 220-uash was made in
Pittsburg IN 1903. Anderson held the
old mile ecord, which was made a
recent state tournament
Two thousand people saw the races.
Good time was made in every event
Anderson won the mile handicap by a
close margin from Harry kaard after
a hard sprint at the finish.

This comment was called forth by the
failure Of Harry Hllman to toe the

race, in which event he would have
had to test his speed and courage
against Taylor, the wonderful negro Of
the University Of Pennsylvania.
Main Attraction Missing.
To hundreds Of the spectators at the
Garden on Saturday night this was the
main attraction. The race was spoiled
by Hinman staying out of the contest,
and these people were in consequence
swindled out of their money.
