BOY SNAPPED LIKE A DOG.
Two Men Necessary to Hold Youth
Afflicted With Rabies.

NEW YORK. January 2.-What the
physicians at Roosevelt Hospital believe
was hydrophobia caused the death yester-
day of four-year- Frank Spinoza. who
was removed to the hospital Tuesday
night from his home at 81 West 9th
street. The child developed every known
symptom OF rabies before he died, but an
autopsy will be performed.
Frank, with a lot of small children, was
playing In a vacant lot near West End
avenue. on 6Tth street, two weeks ago,
when he was attacked by deg. Before
the older children chased the dog away
he had sunk his teeth in the right cheek
and shoulder of the boy. The child was
taken into the house, where his mother
applied homely remedies, and no doctor
was called. The dog was not the property
of any one in the neighborhood, and after
he had bitten little Soinoza he disap-
peared.
The wounds or the boys cheek and
shoulder appeared to be healing. but
Tuesday afternoon he began to act
strangely. He snapped at every one who
came near to him, and though he was
small for his age. it took two persons to
hold him in the bed Some one tod a
policeman and he telephoned to the hos
pitaI for an ambulance. The doctor VINO
came said ..hydrophoba.

POOR WAY TOGET CREW
PLAN OF PICKING OLYMPIC
EIGHT CRITICISED.

Il cannot understand how It will be
possible to get truly representative
American eight for the Olympic regatta
in England this pear by the method pro-
posed by the National Association
says Pat Dempsey. the rowing coach and
trainer. THE present plan is to have
rowing men in the eastern cities name
he best oarsmen in the respective local
tiles and put this aggregation in a shell
and send it abroad as Americas rep
rosentative in the Olympic regatta.
ANY one who is familiar with rowing
understands that the biggest factor in a
good crew is form. No matter how strong
physically the eight might be, unless the
crew is we'll together. there is little hope
of successfully competing with WELL
trained foreign crews. Ii is no doubt
true that the men selected to name the
best oarsmen n the east will succeed in
getting together eight good men. each
one of which will be Il reliable individual
performer: but how are these men to be
made into a perfect rowing machine"
My idea would be to pick Cic-.-S in
each city-say Boston. New York. Phila-
delphia and Washngton-and have these
crews race i'll a special event at one of
the leading regattas. and send the winner
abroad to represent this country in the
contest for the worlds title
College men cannot understand why
the college crews which are admittedly
the fastest in the country should not
participate in the competition.

HOTELS. RESTAURANTS & CAFE
SUES FOR $4,000.
Once Handsome Girl Now Wears a
Mask to Hide Fire Scars.

TAUNTON. Mass, January miss
Marie Vieira, of this city. whose beauty
was marred by an explosion while she
worked for the Taunton dye works and
bleachery several months ago, has brought
suit against that concern for $4,000
damages
She sets this price on her face only
because her attorney told her to. for.
she says, all the money in the world
would not repay her for the loss of her
face. which was once her pride and joy.
Miss Vieria, who is twenty-three years
old. was one of the prettiest girls in
Taunton. Her handsome form is slim
and graceful. Her beautiful dark hair
was her GROWING beauty. Her eyes
were dark and dreamy, while her olive
skin had touch of the rose on either
cheek.
One morning several months ago Marie
was bending over her work bench when
suddenly a sheet of flame burst forth
and enveloped her and a companion
near by. When she emerged from the
pillar of fire her luxuriant hair was gone
and her beautiful features were warped
panion died a few hours after. but Miss
Vieira recovered after long weeks OF suf-
fering in the hospital. Now her face is
shielded by mask and most of her time
is spent in weepn g and grieving;

the shoddy which it manufactures and

in the death of che and a life of misery

RACE TRACKS TO FIGHT
WILL RAISE A FUND TO PRE-
VENT LAW TO KILL BETTING.

NEW YORK. January Gov. Hughes
recommendation in his message that leg
islation be enacted that will do away
with betting at the race tracks, the result
of which would be to close up all the
tracks in New York state. was bomb
in the camp of the racing contingent in
this city.
From the members of the racing COM
mission, which apportions the racing
dates, and the Jockey Club, which con-
trolls the tracks. down to the humblest
racing touts and stable boys there was
the greatest CONSERVATION when it be-
came known that Gov Hughes had taken
up the cudgels against the evil of bet
ting at the race tracks
From James r. Keene whose sta BILE
last season won nearly half a million dol
lars in purses. creating a new world S
record in that respect, down to the small
HORSEPOWER, who is lucky if he wins
enough TO keep the animals in oats during
the winter months. the announcement of
the governors hostile attitude came as u
disagreeable surprise.
From those prominent in the govern
ment of the affairs of the running turf
1t was learned in the event of the in
PRODUCTION of legisia ton looking to the
stoppage of betting at the race tracks the
entire racing organization would combine
in making a bitter fight against the pass
age of such IA law.
1t is understood that large fund will
be subscribed by the leaders in the rae
ing game, and that it will be used freely
to defeat the enactment of the proposed
legislation. As the case stands the rae
ing crowd is thoroughly alarmed, and is
prepared to make Il fight.
One of the most prominent men of the
New York turf said
II have always had great respect for
the wisdom of Gov. Hughes but | fear he
viii be confronted with many difficulties
IL he attempts to stop betting at the race
tracks. ] do not believe those Americans
who patronize the courses will submit to
any law which would prohibit them from
doing something which enters into every
business and all sports--backing up an
opinion with money.
Men will always find pleasure in
wagering their money. and if they cannot
do 1t at the race tracks they will turn to
cards and other games of chance. There
is no harm in the average betting at the
race tracks. OF course. some bad men have
hurt racing from time to time. but that
is the case with almost every big insti-
tuition.
Rather than attempt to abolish all bet
ting. wiser move. / believe would be
to limit it, as is done in England and
France

ASKED by a Star representative today az
to the position of George Washington

pension of the George Washington basket

Union for playing a professional on the

sity, prominent member of the Athletic
Council. and one who is intimately con-
nected with the regulation of athletics at

overstepped IT'S authority in this matter
and that the alleged action of DR. Wiber
was gratuitoRs ii not oficious He also
said that the George Washington basket

WIDER In this matter was to suspend from

the authority to attempt to suspend

declared. is absurd. for from what organi-
"a ton is he suspending them?
1t must be remembered" said the
member of the Athletic Council. that
where students in this university are in
good standing and meet the requirements
of the eligibility code in force they have
an inherent right to participate in COL
egiate athletics which cannot be de-
MED and will not be denied except upon
proper proof. transmitted through the
proper channels. On all occasions where
athletic events are open and it is
requisite that rules of the A. A. L be
University will abide by them to the let

Speaking further, the member expressed
strong Indignation at an article that ap-
peared in morning daily New Years
day in which II was made to appear that
George Washington University had gotten
itself into bad standing with Cornell and
Lehlgh universities because of the can
collation. of foot bal games last fall
Certainly such a statement is without
the semblage of truth and is the prod
uct of an unjust pen he continued. .-Ev-
cry one knows and the writer of the
article in question ought to know what
struggle 1t was for us to put any team
in the field last fall. 1t is doubtful If any
other college would have been represented
by reputable team Thanksgiving Day
under similar conditions. All these facts
have named and the best of feeling now
exists. AS for the bad standing of George
Washington with Yale. Cornell and Le-
HIGH IT. is certainly the child of the imag-
ination of the writer of the article in ques-
ton.

VAIL EXPECTED SOON.

Only question of contract money re-
mains to be settled for Harry Vail the
ex-Harvard and well-known Baltimore
coach. to affix his name to 1908 contract
: as coach of the Georgetown crews. Vail
was seen this week by representative
of the Georgetown management and ex-
pressed great willingness to come to Wash
ington and assume the duties of rowing
instructor at the blue and gray institu-
ton.
The new coach and the Georgetown
manager discussed plans for the coming
season and the outcome was the predic-
ton of an early and a hard season on the
water with the greatest hopes of success,
if no unforeseen difficulty arises to change
the present plans. 1t is expected that
the new coach will arrive and assume his
duties within q week.

Crew Outlook at Wisconsin.

The Wisconsin crew campaign for money
for the Poughkeepse trip will begin early
in January. as soon as the students get
back to college. Some OF the men were
deputed to act as solicitors during the
Christmas holidays, but it is understood
that they did not do much toward rails
ing money for the oarsmen. However
when college opens d regular organized
campaign for the cash for the rowing sea-
son will be made. AS far as the SYRIA
cuse regatta is concerned, there has been
no definite announcement as to what will
be done. There has been some eXpecta-
ton that the Wisconsin crew will go to
Syracuse to race there as d return for
the race held at Madison last yea-. 1t
is considered natural that Wisconsin
should do this. because 1t is not to be
expected that the Syracuse men caa con-
tinue to go to Madison each year at great
expense. 1t does not fit in very we'll with
Wisconsins finances to have to make
two trips to the east either so that the
problem is not small one.
