HOPE IS HERE To
PLAY DETR0|TERs
Collegians From Upstate Patro.ize
But One Sport, But Go To That
With All Their Might.

The Hope College basketball team
arrived In Detroit today. fresh from
two smarting defeats In the little gym,
nasiums up state. but confident OF its
ability TO make a mess OF the state
championship hopes OF the Spaldings
OF Detroit whom they meet tonight In
the Light Guard armory.
The Hope College bunch has long
been the nemesis OF basketball teams
from Detroit and outside the state
who have ventured TO test their met
tie on the floor OF the fine gymnasium
at the Holland. Mich, school. Last
year the five from Hope won every
game played and defeated. among the
number, several teams of very near
championship calibre. notably the De-
troit Y. NJ. c. A. Up to this winter,
however. the faculty at Hope has new
er given the team permission TO play
elsewhere but on Its home floor. The
present trip is consequently being at
tended with considerable difficulty. as
both at Battle Creek and Jackson. Hope
had TO play In gymnasiums of much
smaller size than the one to which
they had become accustomed. The
Light Guard floor is. however, per-
fectly fair one to the players OF both
teams and the collegians expect TO
strike their gait tonight.
Hope college athletics are unique in
the fact that. for the year round, the
students play virtually nothing but
basketball. Practically the entire
student body Is composed OF lads OF
Holland descent who take naturally
TO the game. In the summer II Is
played out OF doors, while in the win
ter the fine, large gymnasium OF the
school offers excellent facilities. As
result. the Hollanders are extreme
" proficient at the indoor game and
the team represents the pick OF the
school TO an unusually representative
degree.
About the only other form OF intern
collegiate competition In which Hope
students are permitted TO indulge Is
debating. This pastime and basket
ball are never allowed to mix. accord
ing to the advance notices, however
the Hope athletes taking the decision
of the officials without a murmur ana
continuing to shoot their baskets.
The Spaldings have been practicing
n month for the game and are out
for the state title this year.
A preliminary will bring togethcr
the first team OF the Detroit Light
Guard and the windsor Fusiiiers.

FIRST BIG WAGER MAKES
JEFFRIES 5 TO 4 FAvORITE
Man Who Is Promoting the Present
Road Trip Of the Jeffries Troupe
Posts 5000.

CHICAGO. Dec 30.--The first big
bet on the Jeffries-Johnson fight
was recorded here. and the big Cali
fornian was made favorite. Harry
Frazee. who is handling the Jeffries-
Gotch tour. wagered $1,000 to $4,000
on Jeff, a broker taking the johnson
end. Speaking OF Jim Corbett, Frazee
said that Corbetts offer TO help train
the Californian would be accepted.
and that JEFF would listen to every
piece OF advice that Corbett might
hand out.
Jeffries says that he is in better con-
dition than Johnson at this moment.
and has no doubt that the mountain
training will fix his wind and stamina.
He does not hesitate to say now that
he expects to win in about ten rounds.
He will he on the road about three
weeks more. and will then return to
his home in Los Angeles. Jeffries Is
already planning a tour OF the world
after the fight.

NOT OVER WITH
ELECTION
Tebeau and Havenor Lining Up For
Another Scrap, Though It Will
Be Chiefly of the Internal
Order.
Defeat of Havenor Faction in Elec-
tion of Chivington Makes Base
ball War an Improbability.

CHICAGO. Dec. 30.-Reports that
the election OF Tom Chivington To tho
presidency OF the American Associa-
ton and the domination OF that or
ganization by the Tebeau faction
means the invasion OF Chicago by the
minor league were discredited by base
ball men here today II Is pointed out
that the faction which was pushing
the invasion OF Chicago" plans wai
headed by President Havenor OF the
Milwaukee club. This faction was
ousted from control OF the associa.
ton when President O'Brien failed of
reelection and 1t is not believed the
Tebeauites will push the plan. for
the present at least.
President Chivington will move the
leagues headquarters from Milwaukee
10 Chicago on Feb. l. BY that time,
IL Is expected that internal war which
yesterdays meeting started will
burst in full force. Angered by the
defeat OF his faction, Havenor is said
TO be planning reprisals in forcing tho
removal OF George Tebeau from the
craftsmanship OF the board OF direc-
tors.
The Havenorites allege that when
the board OF directors was elected In
1901. the Louisville. ST. Paul, Milwau-
kee. Columbus and Indianapolis clubs
were chosen and not the individuals
then in control OF those clubs. The
constitution provides. they say. that
a director must be member OF the
club which he represents. Tebeau.
who was elected as a member of the
Louisville club. Is no longer interested
in that club which. by the constitu-
ton has power TO elect his successor.
The Havenorites say they will not sit
on the board with Tebeau and they
threaten TO get an injunction prevent
ing him from acting.
Before adjournment the magnates
also adopted the 16S-game schedule
and provided for club houses and
dressing rooms for visiting clubs on

DETROIT NEEDS
SPEEDY SKATERS
Lack of Attention Given the Sport
Resulted in Clean Sweep for
& Cleveland Bunch

The trained troupe OF Cleveland
skaters brought to the Detroit meet
ct the d. A c. rink yesterday, clean
ed up with about everything IN sight,
none of the Detroit bunch succeeding
IN butting into the monopoly at all, In
the .ayentx n which the outsiders were
eligible. The Clevelanders knew how
to skate because Of the opportunity
that has existed for couple OF sea-
sons in the Ohio town, which is favor
ed with an indoor rink in which, on
artificial ice. skating is possible
throughout the winter, with speed
events regularly scheduled.
To a great extent the process OF
yesterday might be likened to the in
vasion OF some foreign land by a
crack American baseball team. The
other folks might be just as athletic
as the invaders, but they wouldn't
know the game.
The Detroit Athletic club Is now
considering plan of racing for local
skaters only, hoping in this way to
develop coterie of speed skaters who
may. compete on something like even
terms with those from outside.
Valentine Maurer was the real star
Of the meet, skating the mile open pro-
fessional in 3:15 and winning in a
driving finish, after setting the pace
all the way, with Rankin, OF Duluth,
s1eighreiding. The cold weather kept
the crowd down IN size. though as
tonishing enthusiasm was manifested,
considering the handicaps. Maurer
made quite hit by whipping hand
kerchief across. his nose and. mouth
during the race, TO keep the cold air
OF his lungs.
The women, all three Of whom were
Imported despite announcement to the
contrary, skated beautifully and,
though ccnversing on the weather and
other appropriate topics until the final
lap, sprinted that at top clip. Miss
Leonard proving by far the speediest.
Howell, Of Western. beat Gibson. OF
Central, In the half-mile for Detroit
high school students. which was skat-
ed In 1850.

RALPH WORKS IS
T|GE FOR 1910
Expects To Lead Big League Again
in Coming Season as He Did Last
Its a Solemn Fact.

Wrapped in long corset-coat which
admirably displayed his graceful ar
chitectural lines. Ralph Works, the
American leagues leading pitcher
apologies to G.. Mullin. but this Is no
joke-appeared at the Office OF the To-
cal club and. after brief chat with
President Navin. signed the papers.
Works will be a Tiger in 1910 and
he means TO lead the league again
next year without the stigma OF being
left out OF the official averages be-
cause OF the fact that he only pitched
officially in five games of which he
won four.
Something better for little Ralphie
than life-saving next year Is his pre-
diction. and It would form no great
cause for surprise IL the close OF 1910
saw the erstwhile Quincy Ounce" en-
rolled as one of the leagues real stars.
There isn't anyone prepared 10 admit
that he lacks anything In speed and
confidence. at any rate.
Ralph does not view with alarm
the advent OF Harding. Browning,
Stroud or any OF the other youngsters
who will try to put him on the waiver
list next year. Bush-leaguers. all OF
them, is the way he sizes them up.
Ralph may make his home In De-
troit for the remainder of the winter.
There's reason. oh, you Ralphie!

Exhibition BY Prendergast and Shores
Reused Windsorites.

Ernipftion by FTcnucT9dst dUo oHo'Ss
Reused Windsorites.
Windsor's card suffered a terrific
slump last evening, which was prob
ably but natural from the fact that
the club had staged a pair of semi.
windup scrappers for the final bout of
the evening in the ring In which. n
week before, Tommy Kilbane and
Curly Gerhard had battled TO such an
exciting finish. Hudson OF Detroit
and Druillard of Windsor did not work
the. bugs up to any frantic degree Of
enthusiasm in their fourth and, in all
probability. final spasm. Druillard had
the better of what actual polSing there
was.
The best bout OF the evening was
three-round exhibition between Reddy
Shores and Johnny Prendergast OF De.
troit. They did so well as TO earn Cor
themselves windup exhibition in the
livery near future.

When ~JindeI" Owned The
freedom Of Arkansas

Jim Delehanty. who played such
great ball for Detroit last summer.
can boast OF an experience that is
probably without parallel in the an
nails OF baseball.
Some years ago Delehanty was a
member of the Little Rock team of
the Southern league. which was lead
ing the Southern league race, and the
fans were wildly excited over the
possibility of winning the pennant.
Atlanta was a close second In the
race that year and when that team
came to Little Rock for a series OF
games, business was practically sus-
pended, many of the leading stores
factories and Offices closing UP shoe
for the Afternoon.
A postponement OF game earlier in
the season. made the schedule call
for a double-header on the first day
OF the series. Both games proved TO
be thrillers from start TO finish, and
In each contest Delehanty proved TO
be the real hero. Late in the first
game he cracked out a single that
put the game on ice for Little Rock,
while double with two or three men
on OdSeS III the StNtHlu lIlHiuB Oh lHe
second game. made it possible for
Little Rock to score a brace OF vic
tories.
Jim Delehanty was the village hero
that evening IL there ever was one.
and all kinds of praise was showered
on him by admiring fans. Presents OF
all kinds were slipped to him at his
hotel, but a little message handed tn
him late in the evening capped the
II was from the governor OF
the state who had been present at
both games and read as follows:
THE state OF Arkansas is yours, do
any old thing you desire. will see
that you receive a pardon"
Later in the year the governor in
sisted that he would have made good
the message no matter what happened.
