II the athletes of the Irish American A.
c. OF New York back uo the clubs threat
to stay out of the trip to London foG the
Olympic games next summer should NJ. p.
Halpin Of the New York A. C. have
charge OF the expedition America S
chances in the big English meet will be
materially affected. The action of the
1rish-American y. c. in passing resolu-
tons condemning Halpin's appointment
leaves little doubt that the Celtic Park
Club means business. but just how far the
individual athletes will back I'D President
Conway and his board Of directors re-
mains to be seen.
The Irish American furnished more
point men than any other club in Ameri-
ca in the latest Olympic games at Ath-
ems. Sheridan was almost team in him
self. scoring first in the discus and shot
events, besides getting second places in
the stone throw and standing jump. Myer
Prinstein. another wingedist man. won
the broad jump with a wonderful leap OF
% feet inches. Lawson Robertson was
third In the standing broad jump. and
tied for second IN the standing high jump.
Another winner was George Bonhag. in the
1.J0O-meter walk. These men picked up
over twenty-five points, or more than one
third Of the American total. Without them
the Yankee team would have made a sor-
ry showing. Sheridan alone scored more
points than most Of the nations repre-
sented at the meet.
Sheppard. the greatest half-miler In the
world, is the man the United States must
depend upon in the 500 and 1, 800 meter
runs. Then there is Martin Sheridan in
the discus throw. John Flanagan in the
hammer and ''fifty-six' events; Forest
Smithson. the fastest man in the world
over the high hurdles; James p Sullivan
the AZ miller; E. T. Cook. 5r., and Claude
Allen-both sure 12-foot men in the vault
Bill Heating in the sprints. Lawson Rob-
ertson In the standing jumps and Char
ley Bacon in the 400-meter hurdles
Should all these men refuse to compete
under Halpin 1t may be readily seen that
the American team will cut a small figure
in the Olympiad.

NEW YORK, January 4.-Manager Nc
Graw has completed all his arrangements
for the spring training trip of the New
York Nationals. 1t has been arranged
this year with the Dallas and Fort Worth
clubs to use their grounds during March
for all games. Marlin Springs. short
distance from Dallas, has been selected
for training purposes.
II LIS planned to send Ground Keeper
John Murphy ahead SO that the grounds
win be In condition for playing ball from
the start. All the paraphernalia will be
shipped at that time, consisting of a
push ball. medicine balls, bats, etc. so
that On the arrival of.the advance guard
everything will be in readiness for active
work. McGraw will arrive about Feb
ruary 90. and it is his plan to have all his
young players report at that time SO that
he can get a line on their capabilities be-
fore the arrival of the regulars March l.
Games will be played every saturday
and Sunday in March with the Dallas
and Fort Worth teams. It being the plan
to divide the team SO that games can De
played in both cities on the same dates.
It is also possible that series OF games
will be arranged with the Washington
club of the American League some time
in March The final game at Dallas VIII
be played April D. when the team VIII
start for home
April and they wiz play at Little
Rock. the 9th at Columbus. the 10th at
Wheeling, arriving in New York the
morning of the 11th, when they will fol-
low the time-honored custom of opening
with Yale University; the 18th The Jer-
sey City team Of the Eastern League will
appear at the Polo Grounds, and the 14th
the Newark team of the Eastern League
will play at the Polo Grounds. 1t Is pos
sible that the Buffalo club will arrange its
plans so that it can appear at the Polo
Grounds April Is.
According to the spring exhibition
schedule arranged for the Giants. the
National League has evidently decided to
open the season Of 1908 a week later than
usual, the first games being played about
April 16. Last spring April IA was open

from which the snow had been removed

similar experience in Washington. A low

NOW STYLED A PROFESSIONAL
Longboat Agreed to Be Temperate
for Five Years for So 900.

Tom Longboat, the Indian runner, will
not toe the scratch in a race for worlds
honors IN London this year. What is
more. he will not be a competitor at the
Pastime A. c. games in Madison Square
Garden on January 81. President Sulli-
van of the A. A. U. has taken a stand
against the Canadian red man that bars
him from competing in the metropolitan
district. 1t all hinges on a reputed agree
ment entered into by Longboat to pose
as an amateur for five years. when he
was to receive $1,000 from Hugh Graham
OF Montreal. Here is an extract from a
letter received by Longboat from Mr. Ora
ham:
IF at the end Of five years you are
still in the athletic field, and 1t can be
truthfully said of you that you have
resisted temptation, kept temperate and
ranged yourself on the side of clean sport.
1 shall be pleased to hand you a check
for 5000
The Indian replied
You are very kind. know how you
feel. You want Canada's name kept
good. 1 feel the same. Will do my
best. Five years from today will send
you little bill for $1,000 and will buy a
nice little wigwam for my best girl
1t is claimed that this makes the Indian
a professional, and the English A. A. A.,
according to the view of James E. Sulli-
van, president of the American A. A. u,
will never accept the entry of an athlete
under cloud. and Longboat Is now I'M
der suspension by the Amateur Fedora
ton of Canada.
When such absurd conditions are i'm
posed upon athletes it is no wonder that
the amateur status of many is In doubt
Just think of 1t; declaring q man a pro-
fessional because he agreed for 5000 to
keep temperate for five years.

NOTED LOCAL PITCHER.
The Late John S. Anderson Once ,
Well-Known Ball Player.

Another one Of the 'old boys" took his
last turn at the bat Tuesday last, and.
closing I'D the score sheets. passed sud-
denly away to await final judgment by
the Great Umpire.
Mr. John s. Anderson, whose sudden
death was announced in the columns Of
The Star Tuesday, was familiar figure
in white Lot" base ball in the period
from 1856 to 1872, and as pitcher of the
senior ranks divided honors with the
noted Billy Williams of the original Ma
tionals.
Johnny Anderson was the mainstay OF
the "Jeffersons'' in their pitching depart
ment. as he filled that position In all the
big games played by that lively set OF
were victories, and the only victory the
Jeffersons ever won from the champion
Nationals was due to the ''perplexing
slow twisters that Anderson served up
to his distinguished opponents" as de-
scrbed by the Intelligencer of that time.
Anderson was a native of this city and
his early base ball days were spent with
the old Franklins, who played on Frank
lin Square, with such other associates as
Fred May. DR.. Charles Stone. Romey and
Remey Foster. Waverley Drinkard, How
ard Nyman, Ed Hay. James Callan and
Ed Leetch, afterward going down to the
White LOT get in with the strong JEFF
Persons.
He Immediately made good as a pitcher;
never used speed, but had slow, tanta-
lizing delivery that bothered the batsmen
who opposed him in a way that brought
him renown as a first-class pitcher. AS a
batsman he was far above the average,
and was also fielder of repute.
One of his delights in the later years
of his life was to get number of the
'old boys together to talk over the
doings of the long ago on the White Lot
and to live again the stirring scenes of
those happy days. Many of the short
sketches of that period that have ap-
peared in The Star from time to time
have been prompted by the "reminiscences
with which he has RECALLED his cronies.
Mr.. Anderson was appointed to a clerk
ship in the Treasury Department in 1885,
and was on his way to Office when death
overlook him.

No Taste for Prizefighting.

SAN FRANCISCO, January 4-There
is one place where Tommy Burns could
not go and turn his fighting talents INTO
coin. That place is Honolulu. The ma
tives of the Hawaiian Islands are not yet
ripe for the introduction of the fighting
game. This was shown several weeks
ago, when Jimmy Britt gave four-round
boxing exhibition in a Honolulu opera
house. According to a report OF the affair,
the proceeds of the entertainment amount
ed to SL69 after all expenses had been
paid.

affair from the blowing of the referee
whistle until the final bell. The game
displayed by the two teams would do
credit to some of the bigger teams in
town. The youngsters from the boys
department seemed to know their bust
ness, for not only did they keep the larger
team to a close score, but succeeded in
making the score in their favor at the
end of the first half
