STAeG WANTS NEW LAURELS
Proposes a More Important Invasion
of the East Than Any He
Has Undertaken.

CHICAGO, April I-Alonzo A. Stagg
director of physical culture at the Uni
versity of Chicago, plans a new conquest
of the east with his track athletes. For
many years he has sent a one-mle relay
team to the Pennsylvania games, and
twice he has returned with his team a
national champion. A third time his quar-
tet ran such a close second that the Judges
never were able to agree unanimously on
the winner. Now the Midway chief is
figuring on a two-mle relay team made up
of half-milers to send against the SSO-yard
runners from Yale, Princeton, Harvard.
Dartmouth, Cornell and Pennsylvania His
twe-mile quartet is to be in addition to
his one-mie team which will again race
at Philadelphia.
Stagg has been keeping close tab on his
track material despite the long distance
that has separated him from the campus
best squad of quarter-milers that has ever
trained on the Midway, and II one man re-
gains his eligibility a two-mile team will
be gathered together. This athlete is James
Lightbody, Olympian champion and worlds
hero generally. Lightbody found school
work difficult to comprehend and so the
faculty asked him to keep out of the lime
light of the athletic world for while. Re-
Gently, however he is said to have broken
chances are for his return to track work
Lightbody, IL he runs, will be a member of
both the one-mile and two-mile teams.

CHICAGO, April 11.-President Pulliam

pires about him the other day and for four

their duties for the coming season. Rowdy-
ism appears to have been the principal
topic of the powwow. President Pulliam
is evidently fully determined to put stop
TO all such capers and told his representa-
tives on the field of play very plainly.
He instructed them TO be wide awake and
to permit no trough house" on the dia-
mOnd and TO see that pitchers did not rub
the balls in the dirt. The matter of play
ers carelessly throwing their bats around
was also threshed out and the umpires
were instructed to report all players who
were habitually careless in this matter

Carkeek, with Farmer Burns and Emil
Klank was in Gotch's corner at the big
Hackenschmidt match in Chicago and he
and Burns trained Gotch for that great
struggle. 1t was Carlxeeks undying nerve
and faith in Gotch that did so much for
the champion. From the first OF Cotchs
training period Carkeek said he would best
the Russian, and so confident was Jack at
the last that the day before the match he
ventured his reputation on the prediction
that Gotch would make Hack quit, and
then at the ringside. just before the men
entered, Carkeek bet Lou Houseman that
Gotch would force Hack to surrender.
Was he right?

Holmes shows Up with What Looks

of the Series This After
noon.

What a picnic Ducky Holmes and his
bunch had with Captain Franck's cham
pions at Vinton street park Saturday after
noon. They simply Fomped around the
bases at will. Metz appeared to be in no
form, but he was kept in for five innings
during which time he issued several passes
and was hit for several safe ones. The
score was % to 4.
Holmes has quite a lively team and
some extra men who are good. He worked
two young pitchers against the Rourke
family and both these showed up well,
although eleven hits were made off their
delivery. He has a great catcher in Jack
Henry and a fast fielder in Spencer. The
infied is speeded up by putting Weed in
the outfield and he seems TO have a first
baseman who can hit as we'll as play first.
Holmes has not been saying much, but he
has turned up with a pretty good team.
Graham is still out of the game and
probably will be for two or three weeks,
having wrenched his knee a week ago
in the last game the Yanigans played in
Omaha, with Graham and Franck out of the

Dolan took seven chances. six of which
were putouts.

PITCHING STAFF FOR DODGERS
Manager Donovan Feels Better About
His Crew.

NEW YORK, April 11.-When spit ball"
artist Striclklett announced that he would
desert the Brooklyn club for the outlaw
league on the coast and word came from
the south that Scanlon, through illness,
might be laid up for several months, there
was a feeling of uneasiness among the
Brooklyn players and management.
Since the team has been I'm the training
camp Manager Donovan has given great
attention to his pitching staff, and Patsy
believes he has discovered two youngsters
who will prove as big finds this year as
were Bell and RuclSer last year. Donovan
also has had big load lifted from his mind
be receiving word from Scanlon that he
was fast recovering, and would be in har-
ness within few weeks. This certainly
was encouraging news TO the Dodgers
manager. 1t was the pitching staff which
helped the Brooklyn club to make it's great
squirt in the middle of the season last year.
In the early spring the twirlers were not
in as good condition as they might have
been, and proved easy marks to opposing
batsmen. AS result the Dodgers lost
something like fifteen or sixteen games
before they ever got started. Rucker and
Bell pitched great ball last year, and are
expected to do even better work this sea-
son. Mcintyre, with a little backing up.
can win the majority of his games, and
Pastorious is more reliable.
Holmes and Finlayson are the two re-
cruits who Donovan expects will be of
great benefit to the team, and II Scanlon
recovers his strength before the season is
too FAR advanced. there need be little TO
worry over the ability of the pitching de-
partment to hold up their end. The Dodgers
are considerably stronger in the field and
at the bat this season than they were last
year

BRTTTLOSES In SIXTH ROUND
Gives Up Match After Being Knocked
Down Third Time.
GONG SAVES HIM IN THE FIFTH
Mcfarland Outboxed, Outpuncbed ID
and Completely Outgeneraled
His Opponent in All
Rounds.

SAN FRANCISCO, April u.-Packy Nc
Farland, the Chicago lightweight, made
short work Of Jimmy Britt, this afternoon
in their scheduled twenty-round contest.
Britt was sent to the floor three times in
the sixth and last round by powerful right
wallops on the point of the jaw. He took
the count of nine twice and after the time
keeper had counted five, Britts father
jumped into the ring and waved Mcfarland
away. 1t was practically clean knockout.
Mcfarland outclassed Britt from start to
finish.
The Britt who faced Mcfarland this af-
ternon was not the Britt of old. He did
not seem able to guage his blows and dis
played much weakness in the cllnches and
close range fighting.
Mcfarland, on the other hand, hbd re-
markable speed, his judgment OF distance
was infailibe and he displayed great
punching power. Mcfarland showed also
that he is a wonderful two-handed fighter.
In the first and second rounds, McFar-
land, out-boxed, out-punched and COM
pletely out-generaled his opponent. Dur
ing the third. fourth and fifth rounds Nc
Farland administered a succession of pow
erful rights on Britt's jaw. Toward the
close of the fifth round a right smash flush
to the jaw sent Britt to the mat and only
the timely clang of the gong saved him
from being knocked out.
In the sixth round Mcfarland hooked a
wicked right that caught Britt on the point
of the chin. He dropped like log. At the
count of nine ne struggled to his feet, but
Mcfarland was right after. him, and
another ~right~to the same place sent the
Californian down. 1t was then that the
elder Britt stepped into the ring and ac-
knowledged defeat for his son.

LEW MOREN LOOKED ON AS STAR
Philadelphia Nationals Believed to
Have Real Boy Wonder.

PHILADELPHIA, April 11.-That the
Philadelphia Nationals have star twirler
this year is generally believed by the MEM
bers of that team. for the players who
have already come north have brought the
brightest reports OF the work being done
in training by Lew Moren, the Pittsburg
boy. Moren is said to be heavier than he
was last season, when he was colt. and
that instead OF handicapping him, will
probably add to the power of his batting
1t is his development Of the ''kRaclSle
ball." however, that is causing the singing
of his praises by mis- team mates. Morcn
used this delivery TO some extent last
season, but this spring he has It down pat,
and says he intends 20 make general use
of it. The other pitchers OF the team have
also given consideration to this ball, and
Moren will doubtless have imitators before
the league season is closed.

The shoulder muscles and those of the

Candidates Tor Hurdles.

Three promising candidates are running
the hurdles and are making good time.
Mcdonald. who was a point winner in
these events year ago, both at Kansas
and Ames, is doing some fine running, and
DR.. Clapp believes he will be able to run
the 13O and 22O hurdles fast enough to take
first in the coming meets Last season
he won second place In the 220-yard race
when the time was 2s1b seconds, and this
spring he is beating that time by few
seconds Rathbone, new man, Is making
nearly as good time as Mcdonald and with
a few more weeks training will be val
liable man for the hurdles. McDavitt,
sophomore, has not been in training long
and has been little irregular In reporting
for the practice but when he has got out
he has showed up well and made fast time.
With more consistent training during the
next few weeks he ought TO develop into
good form and give Rathbone a close race
to get the running place with Mcdonald.
The Conhuskers will be stronger than
last season in the field events. sid" Col
lins has all the other men outclassed in
the weight events and has smashed all
university records in the shot-put. lie n
admitted TO have any Of the western col
lege weight men overshadowed and will
take first in the shot-put in all the meets
this spring, and probably will pull out
first in the hammer-throw also The shot
put was won at IS feet last year in the
Kansas meet. and few men In the west
can beat that distance this spring. Col
lins, however. has no trouble whatever in
putting the shot 3s feet and this week made
80 feet inches. In throwing the hammer
he is beating the distance of 1873 feet made
in the Ames- Nebraska meet a year ago.
BY the time of the first meet he probably
will be able to throw the hammer over i39
feet. Collins played center on the foot
BAN team last falf and was In school year
