SOLD THEM GOLD BRICKS.
Jimmy McAleer Is Now Summed By
 All Managers.

New York, Dec 10.-These are lonesome days for James McAleer, manager of the St Louis Browns. McAleer is attending the American league meeting here for the purpose of making few deals in players, if possible. But in view of numerous transactions in which he has secured much the better of the swaps McAleer found out to his dismay yesterday that other managers and magnates trades were in a hurry to get away from him. McAleer it will be re- membered, traded Glade, Hemphill and Niles to the New York Americans last winter for Williams, Hoffman and Ferris, who was secured from l'os- ton to complete the transfer. The year before the St Louis manager traded over Hickey to Griffith for Joe Yeager. In each instance the New York club got crate of lemons, bar ring Hemphill, and for this reason McAleer came to be regarded as a wizard Yesterday he had little chat with one of the western club owners, but the latter, after the con- fab. said that while McAleer's propo- sition looked good he was afraid to make the deal because of the eX- pericnces of the New York and other clubs in the past. As result of MCAleer's plight the baseball men tt the Hotel Wolcott made his life miserable with good natured josh ing yesterday until the St Louis man ager threw up his hands. He is in the same class with Connie Mack, " said Wild Bill Donovan of the De- troits. "They are the best gold brick sellers in baseball and other mana gers are jealous of them"

DOWD FOR BASEBALL COACH.
Satisfactory Conference at Williams
 College.

Williamstown, Dec 10-Tom J. Dowd, who successfully managed the Hartford baseball team last season, came here yesterday and was i'll con- sultation with Manager Richard Zurich and Captain B. Desmond WadswOrth of the Williams college baseball team. Satisfactory ar engagements were made and the great manager will be engaged to coach the college team. The athletic coun- cil will have to ratify the selection of the manager and captain but this is practically a matter of form and it is really settled that Williams will have the services of the man who turned out a winning team here in 1906
 The story of how Manager Dowd came here that year, took collection of wops and made a championship nine out of them makes one of the thrilling chapters of the national game. The first day that he took the squad out to practice, the stu dents wanted to know what he had in tow. The college had lost it's star performers. It was certainly green bunch that reported for practice. But it didn't take Dowd long to whip the material into shape and before the season was over, about all of the crack college teams were defeated by the boys who were
 taught the game under the shadow of Old Graylock
 The work ill the cage will prob ably begin shortly after Easter. Manager Dowd will have better material to work with than when he was here before. as a number of good men are left from last season S nine and the only positions to fill are first base and two places in the outer garden. Manager Dowd Is spending most of his time in Hol- yoke

RACERS KEEP UP FURIOUS PACE.
Three Teams Tied in Lead in Bicycle
 Contest.

New York, Dec 1O.-More than 12,000 persons crowded into Madison Square Garden today to watch the progress of the exciting six day bicycle race, now in It's fourth day. The racers kept up the furious pace with three teams still tied in the lead and ahead of the record. The score at the close of the seventy fourth hour was as follows:
 Rutt and Stoll, 1, ,455 miles laps. Mcfarland and Moran, ,455 miles 9 laps.
 Hill and Demara. 1,455 miles laps. Walthour and Root, 1,455 miles laps.
 Palmer and Walker, 1455 miles laps.
 Collins and Mitten, 1,455 miles ' laps.
 Calvin and Wiley. 1.455 miles 6 laps.
 Devonovitch and Drobach, 1, ,455 miles laps.
 Anderson and vanoni, 1.455 miles 3 laps.
 Faber and Lafourcade, .437 miles I laps.
 The former record at the end of the seventy fourth hour was 1.453 miles lap. made by Miller and Waller ill 1S99
 Francois Faber, the famous French rider, made record spurt lasting nearly an hour Round and round he flew with the speed and endurance of a demon, and when he finished his long fiight of speed he had gained forty laps. or four miles. No spurt like this had even been seen in the garden before, and the Frenchman was loudly cheered.
 tracted more attention than the plucky American team, Walthour and Root, who by an exhibition of grit and speed regained one of their lost laps and de clared that they would get the other one back and be on even terms with the leaders in the race. Since the race began there has been no such riding as Walthour did when he began to bid for one of the lost laps. And when he was tired by the heartbreaking pace Root, his partner, took his place on the track in a flash and kept up the spurt.
 In twenty minutes of the maddest riding ever witnessed in the garden the two men got back their lap and tumbled three teams which have been sharing the lead with two other pairs down to lap behind the leaders. | A sprint that resulted in the tapping of the Fogler- Lawson team was start ed by Moran. When it had been in progress ten minutes and Fogler found that he had lost his position among the four leaders he retired to the ring side in practical state of collapse, saying that he could not go any far l ther.
 Lawson found no other mate and was officially declared out of the race.
