Ample Proof That Rabbit
Didn't Bite Judge Phelan

He had a sack OF peanuts in his hunt
ing coat. which. upon arising, he
found to have disappeared, although
the paper sack was still there.
His hunting companions, Wolfgang
Teller or Wolf as he is better
known, and Martin Johnston. came
along few minutes later and the
Judge told them about the mysterious
disappearance OF the peanuts.

getting down close to tracks in the
snow around the log; you certainly

those peanuts from your pockets.
The Judge was congratulated all
around upon his narrow escape.

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-The disposi-
ton OF Detroit's surplus talent is not
worrying President Navin. who has
been pestered by the minor league
managers In New York this week, anx-
ious TO get first call on what Detroit
is ready to drop by the roadside. No
less than three different big league
clubs have made overtures for Catch
er Beckendorf, and both Connie Mack
and George Stallings are willing to
pay an advance for him. Their eager
ness to get him has convinced Navin
and Jennings that they have good
man. BY the way. Beckendorf makes
his home In New York and paid his
respects to the managers around the
hotels. Matty Mcintyre also ran away
from his Staten Island mornings long
enough to say How do you do?"

must be by one OF the two veterans
who Immediately follow them in the
standings. Whether or not Hubert

remains. OF course, TO be seen. The
German and the Indian are likely TO
combine issues today in frantic eff
fort TO cut down the lead of the Bos'

That some such combination Is nee
essary seems obvious, for never was
there better team work In an event
OF this sort than is furnished by Din

KlubertanZ and Davis were really the

himself looked after Klubertanz to
see that the Rochester man did not
get started on any dangerous sprint,
while Prouty affixed himself to the
Mohawk. Lap after lap, mile after

string along for a few laps together,

their rivals, But they always separ-
ated again. each camping on the trail

When Klubertanz started anything

Prouty was similarly right on the trail

of the second pair would secure II

hanging ON. Straightway Dinneen and
Prouty would pool issues and 60 out
and regain IT, Toward the close OF
the evening Dineen went out and re-
peated his tactics OF both the proceed
ing nights, by increasing his margin

ming was over. Dineen had nearly
seven miles over his team mate, while
Prouty was nearly nine miles better
off than Klubc-tanz.
The Boston pairs headwork has

for the positions In the lead which
they now occupy.

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-During a
terrific sprint at the six.day race In
Madison Square Garden early today,
Gordon Walker. of the Australian
team, crashed from hts wheel on the
high bank at the Madison-ave. turn
and fell unconscious within few
inches OF the rail. Had he gone over
the edge he would have fallen forty
feet below to instant death.
AS II was his collar bone was brok-
en- and he was seriously bruised. He
was rushed to the Polytechnic hospital.
where II was said he would recover.
1t was afterwards learned that
Walker fell from his wheel In sheer
physical exhaustion as he had strained
every ounce of strength In his en-
deavor TO keep up with the terrific
pace set by the leaders. The mans
condition was found to be pitiable
upon examination and the team was
withdrawn from the race.
Faber and Lafourcade were also
withdrawn from the contest, as they
had fallen eighteen miles behind the
leaders aud We're hopelessly out OF tho
race.
The unexpected withdrawal OF Joe
Fogler, the popular Brooklyn boy,
after he had been Tapped. was the
main topic of conversation today. He
was generally censured in every
quarter and many declared him to be
gutter. In justice TO his partner,
liver Lawson, the Chicago boy, IL for
no other reason, 1t was said, he should
have stayed in the race. Fogler said
that he had been riding steadily for
three months and that he was not In
good condition, but for the pleading OF

withdrawn before he did. Il stuck

crowd until late hour.
