FREE-F0R-ALL TR0T AT
READVILLE is ASSURED

BOSTON, March 29.-The proposed
free-for-all trotting race for the Fourth
of July at the Readville track is now
an assured fact. The directors of the
New England Trotting Horse Breeders
association, at the Adams house re-
Gently, decided to hang up purse of
$4,000.
The race will be on the three-heat
plan and the first horse will receive 20,
the second 20 and the third 10 per cent.
Under the conditions more than one
horse from the same stable may be
started. This provision was undoubted-
ly put in with the idea that more than
one entry might be secured from the
Bradley stable, in which three of the
fastest trotters in the country will be
trained the coming season. Entries
close May l.
When the race was first proposed 1t
was the general opinion that the bay
gelding George G.. (2:06A) would be the
one that would be selected by Mr..
Bradley to represent his stable. While
his stable mates, Major Delmar

that the great trotter Highball may be
on hand to compete. Other trotters
looked upon as possible starters are
Wentworth (2;041a), ORC (2:061a), Sny-
der McGregor (2:06N), Lillian r.

BOWLING TOURNAM ENT
DEVELOPS SCANDAL GOSSIP

CINCINNATI, March ga real
scandal has broken out in the bowling
game, one of the few sports that to the
present time has seemed free from
crooked work.
Charges that scores of the champions
in the recent tournament of the Ameri-
can Bowling congress here were padded
and that other crooked work was done,
have been made and are being investi-
gated by the Cincinnati Bowling asso-
citation, which had the tournament in
charge.
President Al Daiker admits that
charges of a serious nature have been
made, but refuses to give out all the
details until after they have been
brought before the executive COM
mittee.
In one of the international match
games it is alleged pin boy kindly
kicked over d pin in what would nave
been an impossible split, allowing the
bowlers to make spare and eventually
win the game by nine pins. The pin
boy is said to have been handsomely
rewarded.
One member of the Nationals, an In
dianapolis team. boasted that his team
had been credited with 200 pins too
many. Jake Krollman, local hotel
keeper, charges that the score of the
Orientals, local team. was juggled,
and it is also alleged that the official
score for the Bonds, winners of the
five-men championship, were fixed"
One brewery team from Fort wayne,
Ind, charges another two-man team
from the same city with having been
credited on the official score with 154
pins that were not knocked down.

BIKE RIDERS MAKE
PLENTY OF MONEY
INTEREST IN SPORT AS HIGH AS
EVER
Both Old Timers and New Corners in
PedaIing Game Have Grown
Rich Through Their
Efforts

NEW YORK, March &C. A. Sher-
wood, the amateur bicycle champion
who recently exchanged the glory of
being pure amateur for the more sor-
did gains of the professional, carefully
weighed the question before he decided
to go after the money. His decision
will doubtless influence the crop or
young riders that appear every season.
"I am frank to say said Sherwood
recently, that believe the chances for
making good money are better than
ever before in the history of profess
sional cycling, and l believe that we
are still long way from the possible
maximum of profit. In all the history
of the sport on this side of the Atlantic
there have never been seen larger or
more enthusiastic crowds than have
greeted the various six-day events that
have been run In recent times, and,
with promoters and riders all doing
well. such events will soon be held in
every city of Importance in the coun-
try.
II don't pretend to know the exact
bank accounts of all the leading cracks.
I only know how those things are sized
up by other riding men. For instance,
Bobby Walthour has been credited with
bringing back $4,000 from Europe.
Walthout is pretty close mouthed, but
1t is well known that he is quite an
extensive property owner in his home
city, Atlanta. And 1t costs pretty
penny to dress the part as Bobby does.
When a man tours Europe with an ex-
pensive pacemaker and high grade
motorcycles and carries with him his
wife and two children, he is obliged to
ride for the big money.
fr Na1 n
rich man is not news. Taylor is thought
to be worth anywhere from $4,000 to
$50, 900. Moran is still better off, and is
estimated to be worth 100000. No one
ev caught Moran throwing any money
t, tie birds. Lawson has money, but
ranks much further down the financial
scale as yet.
Frank Kramer is thought to be
worth $35,000, and probably that is
pretty close to his figure. Folger is
credited with having made $4,000 since
some of these statements are the
shrewd guesses of the men who ride
with the men named, but they have
more than their mere opinions to go on.
Iver Lawson, for instance. is building a
fine residence in Salt Lake City.
1T really seems as though racing and
thrift go hand in hand. Sometimes the
results sound rather strange. Mitten,
the latest conner, who made his debut
at Kansas City. has put his profits into
800 bushels of potatoes and is holding
them for a raise.
And when racing men make money,
promoters, you can bet, are not losers.
Jack Prince has been prominent in
promoting six-day grinds. and Is popu-
larly credited with having made and
saved $4,000. At any rate, he Is plug
ging an extremely popular game. and
seems to have the public with him.
According to Major Taylor a six
day race either makes or breaks a
young rider. Taylor ought to know,
for it was in such a contest that he
first made his name and got his start
toward fancy winnings"

GLENDALE WINS
SUBURBAN MEET
TEN HIGH SCHOOLS STRUGGLE
ON TRACK UNTIL DARK
Several Boys Who Showed Promise
Enter Too Many Events for
Benefit of Their
Records

The track teams of ten of the rural
high schools in the vicinity of Los An
geles left the Occidental field yester-
day evening almost at the compulsion
of the approaching moon after one OF
the longest and most exciting meets
ever held between minor institutions in
the state.
The near athletes who were fortun-
ate enough to seize points from the
melee departed with their medals

tinguishes varsity champion, while
attract the attention of the judges were
almost equally exuberant to think that
they had performed i'm a real meet
and before real spectators.
Glendale high school covered itself
with glory by totaling the largest num-
Der of points. The boys from the
Prroyo burg annexed 3S points, with
the other schools tapering along in the
result column in stair step order. Bo-'
nita surprised itself and everyone pres

points and Monrovia followed close

ran, but Sweeny saw the result of their
efforts.
Although many of the schools had an
abundance of representatives the boys
who were the admitted talent OF their
teams entered too many events for
their endurance and their records suf-
fered as a result. Brewer of Holly
wood, the brother of the Occidental
sprinter, was one of these over-am-
h.tious youngsters. His showing on his
first few starts predicted for him a
retracing of his fleet footed brothers
footsteps, but in some of his latter
races Rrower failed for sheer lack oe
strength.

WITH HIS HANDS HELD

County Hospital Patient Suffers with
Paralysis and Is compeIIed/to
Wear Specially Made
Garments

How would you like to go around
day after day and year after year
with your hands in the pockets OF
your trousers, and never a break In be-
tween while clothed?
This is what John Candless has been
doing for the past nine years and, ac-
cording to the doctors who are watch
ing his case of paralysis at the county
hospitay, will do until he dies
Nine years ago Candless was a
strong. healthy man, with good posi-
ton and fair prospects. Everything
was cheerful and his outlook on life
was of the brightest, when the dread
paralysis gripped him and crippled both
arms from the shoulders to the tips
At first Candless had money enough
to pay for private treatment, but lit
tie by little his savings were swept
away and he was forced to become
There the physicians have done every
thing in their power to aid him. but
even the most skilled can do nothing
To give him back thet use OF his arms.
Candless must keep his hands in
his pockets all the time. The minute
he allows his arms to drop at fulI
length the rush of blood to the tips
of his fingers causes excruciating pain,
and for hours he suffers while his
life,s blood works it's way slowly back
into the usual channels.
Wears Patent Trousers
The physicians at the hospital have
devised specia1 trousers for CandleSs,
and he is dressed and undressed with
no inconvenience whatsoever. lnsteat
of being one piece at the hips and on
the waist line, Candless' trousers are
arranged in such way that small
belf and buckle close the opening after

and often visitors to the hospital-well
meaning and doing everything IN thei"
mower to make the patients happier
and more comfortable-leave the place

Often he is offered fruits and del
icacies, and society and church tracts
are directed his way, and every time
he must decline the offers, standing
or sitting with his hands in his pock-

gifts of any kind.

Aside from his paralyzed arms Cand-

as helpless as a babe. and his every
want is filled by the attendant who
dresses and undresses. feeds and
washes him and performs for him the
many duties which he is unable to do
himself
The physicians hold out no hope for

PUTNEY, England, March 29.-The
Oxford Cambridge boat race which a

blues would win without great effort
on account of white interest in the

likely to be a close contest.
The race will be rowed on April 4,

that the dark blues made the distance
