TODD, FAMOUS
TROTT|NC SIRE,
PASSES AWAY
Stallion Bought for $4,000
Last Year by William Bradley
Dies at SOmeryille.

Todd, one of the greatest trotting
sires of the American turf, died of
pneumonia on Sunday at the stock
FARM of William c.. Bradley, the New
York contractor, two miles outside of
Somerville. Every effort was made to
save the life of the famous stud, but to
no avail. He was buried yesterday in
the lawn in front of the stables, n
Mr.. Bradley says he will mark the
place with a fitting tablet.
Mr.. Bradley bought Todd for $50, 900
at the Old Glory auction sale in Madi-
son Square Garden last fall. The price
was a big M but not too big, accord
ing to horsemen, as the horse had an
earning capacity of between 10000 and
$751; 900 a year.
Todd was bred by j. Malcolm Forbes,
OF Boston. in 1899, and consequently
was only nine years old. He was by
Bingen (2:06A)-Fanella, and she by
Arion. Both sire and dam went back
to Electioneer. Todd had a record of
2:14%, but he earned his chief fame as
a sire of many fast and brilliant per-
formers, including Kentucky Todd,
2;0S%, winner of the Kentucky Futurity
and other rich fixtures; Cochato Doug
las and Sir Todd. Nine of his fifteen
foals which were thr~ee-year-olds last
yea made records below 2:131a.

LONGBOAT IS FINALLY
BARRED FROM OLYMPIC

against a horse a few days ago. 1t is
the general opinion, however, that Sui
Ivan will be allowed to compete, if he
makes the American team, for his case
is different from hat of Longboat.
Sullivan has always been an amateur
in good standing, while the standing of
the Indian has been seriously ques-
tioned-in fact, the American author
tiles openly protest against Longboat.
Sullivan competed against the horse,
thinking he was doing no wrong. He
was promptly suspended by the A. A.
u. and subsequently reinstated.
Prominent men in the A. A. u. think
that the Canadians, knowing that
L~ongboat would not have been per-
mitted to compete in London even if he
had not met and defeated the horse,
put up the man against animal con-
test for the very purpose of getting a
ruling from London, and hence MAKING
it impossible for the Americans to use
Sullivan. They were willing, in other
words, to sacrifice their great redskin
in order to injure the team from the
United States.

The match was clinched today. The
Milwaukee Boxing Club, of which Har-

gets the contest. The Hippodrome
building, the largest in the city, will
be the scene of the contest.
The main debate was over the split

for Papke. demanded a bonus of 5 pei
cent, insisting hat Papke was the real
magnet, Joe O'Connor, acting for
Ketchel. could not see this argument
and finally won out.
There was quite a little hitch, too,
when it came to selecting the weight
limit. 1t was a big surprise when
Jones stated that Papke wished to
have tina weight placed at 1853 pounds.

WON'T CHALLENGE
UNTIL He GETS
SERVCEABLE BOAT
Upton Declares Rules Must Be
Changed Before He Again
Races Here.

Sir Thomas Upton recently made a
very important declaration in the mat
ter of future Americas cup challengers.
Dining with a former commodore of
a yacht club located in our Eastern
waters, who is well known to all
Americans prominent in the sport, a
short time ago in London. Sir Thomas
said in the most emphatic manner to
his New England yachting friend:
81 do not ever intend to challenge
again for the Americas Cup unless the
New York Yacht Club rules are so
changed that ! can take a serviceable
sea boat across the Atlantic"
In addition Sir Thomas authorized
his friend to repeat this declaration, if
he desired TO do so. when he returned
to New York.
Still, Sir Thomas admitted to his
friend that as much as ever it was the
ambition of his life to win the
Americas Cup.
