SAVANNAH TO HAVE
MILE RACE COURSE

SAVANNAH. Ga, January 1s.-Only
ten more days of racing are left for the
Thunderbolt course. A week from the
coming Thursday. the schedule of thirty
days Will run out, and the curtain will
fall on the most successful meet ever held
in this city. Immediately after the wind
uE plans will be laid to increase the
course from half mile to one mile and
also to lay out steeplechase course.
Despite all reports to the contrary the
promoters of the meet are satisfied with
the results. The withdrawal Of Joe Ven
dig made it look as If the meeting was a
failure, but that is not the case. The
action Of Vendig Is not looked upon with
favor by the turtles here and he has been
severely criticised in all quarters The
two surviving directors, Sim Deimel and
Robert Turner. announced Immediately
after the retirement of Vendg that the
meet would run out the original schedule.
Saturday the first steeplechase of the
meeting was decided and it went to Prince
of Pilsen, the clever gelding belonging to
j. w. Colt. There are quite few good
timber-toppers quartered here and it is
the intention to conduct several more field
races before the close.
The meeting started Saturday at New
Orleans will not hurt this course las
horsemen will not ship their runners south
until the close. The manner in which
matters have been conducted here has
pleased the people of this city. When
the gates are opened for the next meeting
it will be a great success.

MICHIGAN SIDE-TRACKED.
Must Apply to Conference If i
Wants Recognition.

CHICAGO, January 1S.-University or
Michigan alumni joined with the grads
and student RIOTERS of the University OF
Chicago yesterday in deploring the latest
anti Michigan decree of the Chicago, Wis
consin and Minnetota athletic authorities.
Following the announcement of Coach
Stage that the Big Three leaders had
finally decided not to consider the Maize
and Blue as gridiron opponents for the
coming foot ball season, the enthusiasts
of the old time rival schools were forced
to admit the failure of their hopes for
another championship struggle between
Chicago and Michigan.
In addition to the admission made by
Coaches Stage. Williams and Hutchins
after their powpow OF Saturday that they
had not considered Michigan as pos
sible opponent for 1909. Coach Stage said
yesterday that definite decision had
been reached not to schedule games with
the Wolverines. The move of the coaches
means that Michigan is dropped for good
as figure in western foot ball until it
applies for membership in the conference
and is accepted, according to the Maroon
authorities.
In addition to their powwow of Satur-
day the big Three leaders have agreed
to settle a number of minor points con-
corning their rulership by correspondence
this week. The coming six days will in
all probability be of great importance
from the foot ball viewpoint as Coach
Stage hopes to fix upon the dates for his
games and determine which schools shall
have games on his schedule.
The midway professors will keep out of
the foot ball question entirely this year
it was announced. However the athletic
board contains a number Of faculty MEM
bers who are said to have some minor
reforms to spring. The professors intend
to keep silent as to the proposed re
forms until the meeting of the board.

SPRING MEETING
AT BENNING TRACK

After considerable work among the
horse owners and trainers of Virginia
and Maryland the Washington Jockey
Club has decided to hold a spring meet
ing at its Benning track. The recent
meeting Of the parent jockey club In New
York was held for the purpose of elect
ing officers, and no dates were assigned,
but it can be positively stated that a
meeting at Benning will be held, and it's
length depends upon it's patronage and
success.
Steward Samuel Ross of the Washing
ton Jockey Club said this morning to a
Star reporter. when asked about the ru-
mors regarding the meeting:
Yes, the Washington Jockey Club has
decided to hold a short meeting in May.
1t may run six days, or, If very success
full. carry over into the second week.
Washington Jockey Club and subscrip-
tons from the local business men and
wealthy horse owners
At the present time there are several
hundred thoroughbredS quartered at the
Benning track and in nearby localities, so
that a notice to the effect that racing will
be held will doubtless draw large fields in
each of the events. All the Virginia and
Maryland horses have wintered we'll so
far while those at the local track are in
prime condition. The fact that the Ben
ming meet will follow that Of the Mary
land Jockey Club may result in many of
the horses going north and not returning
but it is not feared that there will not be
sufficient thoroughbreds here to make the
sport first-claSs and attractive in every
WaV.

senior single quarter-mile dash. The
American boy won the race easily. Next
came the Lafayette Mandolin Quartet in
several selections. Third was sparring

Hoover, which resulted in a draw after
three rounds. The headliner of the even
ing was wrestling bout between Joe

BALTIMORE, Md. January 1S.-Ocar
Martin, brother of the famous Terry, will
have a tough proposition on his hands
tonight when he faces Willie Ryan of
Washington in the star bout of the Mon
umental Athletic Club at the Monumental
skating rink. Dyan is one Of the fastest
young men with a punch that has boxed
around Baltimore for a long time. In
his last bout in this city he made quick
work of Kid Yockel. whom he put away
in thirty seconds of the first round. Mar
tin is also a hard hitter. as in his last
mill here he put Johnny Murray of Phil
adelphia to sleep in the fifth round.
In his workouts for the contest with
Ryan Martin displayed very clever form.
During the past week his brother Terry
put him through some fast training, and
those who have seen the Philadelphia
perform predict that he will defeat Ryan,

BOXING MATCHES
between SOLDIERS

Arrangements have been made between
Fort Myer and Washington barracks to
give an exhibition which will consist of a
series of boxing contests between the
men Of these posts. A strong rivalry has
existed for some time between the en-
gineers at Washington barracks and Fort
Myer artillery along athletic lines. The
laurels in foot ball have hitherto gone to
ton of the Fort Myer men to excel in
boxing. With this object in view they
have taken a keen interest in the boxing
instruction which they are at present TAX
ing from William K. Sixsmith. the we'll
known physical trainer. The contest Will
come off in about two weeks at Wash
ington barracks, but as 1t is an official
affair it is not yet decided if the public
will be admitted. The engineers, who
took instruction from Mr.. Sixsmith some
time ago. will go into training for two
weeks, and it Is expected that the con-
test will be close and exciting. There
will be about ten bouts lasting four
rounds each, the usual time allotted for
amateur bouts.
Mr. Sixsmith has been teaching his
original methods of training and boxing
at the various military posts throughout
the country for some time past. The
class among the men at Fort MVer has
been specially organized by the order Of
Gen. Bell for the purpose of obtaining
an official report on the value and prac-
ticability of Mr.. Sixsmiths work and
the desirability of having it permanen y
adopted as part of the regular training of
the army men. The work has always OBJ
tanned the strong support of both officers
and men where it has been taught, and it
is reasonable to suppose that the report
from Fort Myer will be favorable. Should
this be SO, 1t is probable that President
Roosevelt will give the movement for it's
adoption into army. methods his warm
approval and support.

NO BIG REGATTA
ON THE POTOMAC

There will be no big regatta on the
Potomac during 1909. This important
decision was arrived at Wednesday even
ing by the Potomac Boat Club at it's reg
ular meeting held at its boathouse.
For quite a period a large number of
people who follow aquatics for the pure
sport that's in the game, and personally
support all regattas held here on the
Potomac, conceived the idea Of going
after the national regatta for this year,
and made overtures to the Potomacs in
regard to fostering the regatta, as they
have done every year since 1900, and the
matter was taken in allegiance by the
racing committee OF the club. as we'll as
the officers of the Potomac River Re-
gatta Association. 1t reported adversely
Wednesday night.
In making it's report to the racing com.
mittee gave it as its opinion that ii
would best suit all purposes to let 1903
lapse as far as regatta was concerned,
and devote all it's time and energy to
upbuilding the finances of the organiza-
ton The deficit of the Middle States
regatta is still in sight. and the commit
tee did not believe 1t possible to get
enough out of our citizens to pay the ex-
penses of a big national regatta. Then
too, Baltimore is making heroic strug-
gle to get the Middle States, and If il
secures 1t, as now seems probable, 1t will
be close enough to make 1t almost a
local regatta" for our clubmen.
With this big event in view for our
suburban town. there will be incentive
enough to keep up interest all season,
but as there will in all probability be a
race with the Naval Academy at Annapo-
lis and entries made at the American
Henley and the Peoples at Philadelphia
July 4, there will be no end Of cards for
the Localities.
It Is probable that Georgetown will ask
the Potomacs for special race on their
class day regatta. In May, and this will
be another interesting feature for the
local oarsmen.
Both Analostans and Potomacs will re-
vive club regattas this season, and these
attractive events will keep things busy
around both clubhouses.
But one thing is assured. that in 1910
the oarsmen of the Potomac intend max
ing a decided fight for the national re-
gatta for the Potomac river, as the COM
mittee was unanimous in making this
fact known at the meeting Wednesday
night.

FORMS WRESTLING TEAM.
Blue and Gray to Be Represented
on Mat

After three years of endeavor success
is at last browning the efforts of Prof.
NJ. A. Joyce, physical director of George
town University, for the foundations for
wrestling team at the hilltop school
have been laid and men have begun
active training. The first appearance
of the squad will be in the Carroll In
stitute tournament of February "a, and
then, If the men show sufficient ability,
match with some outside college will
be arranged
The manner adopted to develop the
grapplers is a novel one, inasmuch as
green men are matched against expe-
rienced ones from the start. 1t is in
this way, according to the physical di-
rector, that the holds of different kinds
are learned. for man can never become
successful mat artist unless he has
had experience. So with the end in view
of giving the candidates for the Blue and
Gray team sufficient experience in the
sport to be able to hold their own with
outside artists, matches are being ar
ranged between some of the best young
wrestlers of the city and some of the
collegians for Sunday mornings. One of
these was held in Ryan gymnasium yes
terday forenoon when Cogswell of the
of the Yellow and White Gym Asso-
citation wrestled six minutes to a draw.
The two of them were of about equal
weight each tipping the scales around
115. thus being classed in the feather
weight section. The bout, while it last
ed, was a fast one and greatly enjoyed
by the large crowd of students In attend
ance Allison had the advantage at
first. but by some clever bridge work
CogsweH wriggled out Of a half-Nelson
defensive until time was nearly up. when
both began to mix it for a little. The
bout ended with each being credited
with about the same number of points.
In the middle of March 1t is the inten-
ton of Prof Joyce to hold a gymnasium
opened only to students of the university
On account of the success Of the Deem
Der meet the chief of physical instruction
at the hilltop school believes that another
on the horizontal bar springboard. lad
der, flying rings. climbing rope, travel
ing rings. horse. bag punching and the
like would be most acceptable to the
boys. The time 1t is planned to hold
same is just at the close Of the gymna-
SUM season and hence all the Compel
itors would be at the height of condition
and the maneuvers in the different
branches of physical training would be
both exciting and interesting. In order
to excite interclass spirit In the affair,
competitive drills between class teams
would be held in dumbbell work and
club swinging.
AS was the case in the last meet, silver
and bronze medals Will be awarded to
those winning first and second places.
respectively. In each event, while cups
will be awarded the winning class teams.
Judging from the success which Prof.
Joyce has had In running off previous
meets OF the kind promised for the future.
IT is a safe prediction that the two now
planned will be both closely contested
and interesting to watch.
