Great Athletes Come Under

of st. Gregory's Catholic Club, looked
upon as the next quarter-mile champion,
were indefinitely suspended at a meeting
of the board Of governors of the Military
Athletic League of Pennsylvania last
night.
The meeting was called to act on a
number of protests, chief among them be-
ing the Sheppard-Hayes race, which was
scheduled to take place at the LIST Regi-
ment Armory December IL, az the main
event of a special card prepared for that
occasion.
The suspension is made indefinite in
order to give the athletes chance to
appeal from the decision. The Suspension
ls OF great Importance, as the Amateur
Athletic Union must suspend both men in
keeping with it's alliance with the Mill
tary Athletic League.
1t was brought out In connection with
the Hayes-Sheppard event that the race
was arranged at the request Of Hayes,
who is member Of Company D. Sd Regi-
ment.
When the event was called, Sheppard
appeared on the floor prepared to run,
but Hayes was not present. Hayes fin

fused to run. claiming that he had not

the fact that Hayes had requested this

Furthermore. Hayes had been entered

pard In half-mile race. After evidence
OF the arrangements was introduced be-
fore the board OF governors it, by una.,i-

McALEER MIsQU0TED.
Hedges Won't Believe Sir James
Blocked Stone Deal.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, December M-Jimmy
McAleer. former manager Of the Browns.
who has now cast his lot with Washing
ton, is being charged with blocking a
deal between the Browns and White Sox
whereby st. Louis was to give George
Stone for some Chicago star. A Chicago
paper reported that McAleer had told
Comiskey that Stone had serious trouble
with his hip, and. upon hearing that,
Comiskey called Off all negotiations for
the man.
1t looks as though somebody has mud
died things. In the first place, George
Stone has never had any trouble with his
hip. and If he has now 1t has come since
the close of the base ball season. The
chances are his hip is all right. So II
McAleer said he had hip trouble 1t would
appear like an untruth. and as long as
McAleer was connected with the st. Louis
club no one could accuse him OF misrep-
resenting things.
When President r. L. Hedges of the
Browns heard of the affair he said at
once that he didn't believe McAleer had
said such thing. No one who knows
McAleer we'll could believe 1t, for he is
one of the most upright men connected
with the game. Some have even limited
that his great regard for the truth has
hindered his chances for success.
II is quite probable the mistake was
made by the Chicago reporter. 1t looks
as though McAleer might have been talk
ing to Comiskey about several Of the vet
cluded both Stone and Jimmy Williams.
1t is we'll known that Williams had trou-
BILE with his hip last summer and had to
quit the game for while on that &C
count. McAleer was probably referring
to Williams. and the reporter thought he
was talking OF Stone.
There's nothing the matter with George
Stone. He's as sound today as he was
&C., ~ %
who have seen him sprint to first base
SO often and beat out bunt or an in
field hit know we'll that a man with
such speed could not have hip trouble.
There are not more than three or four
men in the American League who can go
from the plate to first base any faster
than George. He sprained hts ankle
last summer in desperate slide for
first base, trying to beat out hit, and
was crippled much of the time, but
there has never been any trouble with
his hip. His ankle is now entirely well,
and he is expected to be as fast as ever
next summer, for George Stone is still
young man.
and President Hedges have for limiting
at trade that would involve Stone Is
because they are badly in need Of q
star pitcher. one they can feel assured
will go into the box and hold down the
best teams In the league. To get such
q hA0ASs "a SOuioC, shSy WOoAN OAPOSS ~
part with good man. 1t Is known that
Charley Comiskey has been after q hard
hitting outfelder with the same zest
that Hedges has sought a pitcher. So It
was natural to believe that these two
magnates would get together, for one
had extra outfield material and the other
was strong in the pitching department.
The trade talked Of was Stone for Frank
Smith, though neither one Of the mag
mates has admitted that deal is now
on. There was such a deal on q year
ago, but Comiskey backed out.

NEW YORK, December 2i.-The estate
of the late E. II. Hartman. instead OF
running up to hundreds of millions. as
estimated, will amount. II was learned
yesterday. to less than S1o.OO0OOO. This
will represent the maximum of the for
tune held by the late head OF the Harri-
man railroads. II is not true, as report
ed. that not long before his death Mr..
Hartman distributed many millions in
securities to members Of his family.
Inquiries made In quarters from which
statement could come with authority
regarding a report that Mr.. Hartman be-
fore his death turned over $JO0OO.OOO in
Union Patio and other stocks to Mrs
Hartman and his eldest son brought out
the Information that not only were nc
such gifts made by Mr.. Hartman. but
that, furthermore. the amount of hie
estate had been greatly exaggerated in
published estimates. The latest OF these
put the etsate at $149.O00.OD on the

TED C0Y'S ELEVEN.
Walter Camp Thinks the Players
Could Have Coached the Coachers.

NEW HAVEN, December A.-Walter

director, discusses in the Yale Alumni
Weekly how Ted Coy's eleven was devel-
oped, and brings up the question whether
Coy's winning team could beat Lee Nc
Clungs and Gordon Browns famous
elevens. He ridicules the idea set up in
some quarters that the Yale eleven
might have been coached from the side
lines. claiming thSt 1t could have coached
It's coaches. Part Of his statement fol-
lows:
ITO the old question that has furnished
food for many q winter nights foot bali
discussion there has been added a new
Browns eleven beat Lee Meetings.? Now
there Is added the new one, Could Ted
Coy's beat either or both? The same
quality that made Meetings. team OF the
old days SO great made the team Of 1900
strong, and that was poise. individual
self-reliance. and that, too. a self-reliance
based upon knowledge. In that respect
Coy's team. taking all it's component
parts. with the substitutes included, was
ahead Of the team Of Lee McClung. That
aggregation OF Meetings. knew all that
was necessary for them to know but this
team had to know more on account OF the
Infinitely greater variety OF rules. To
team by the coaches from the side lines
In this big game is indeed ridiculous
That is not the way Yale makes her eiev-

weaknesses which had been printed in

clairvoyance on the part OF Yale to know
these weaknesses. Harvard had certain

Net Amount Near $50, 900, 600.

AS a matter Of fact the appraisal now
being made by the state controllers Of
flee upon which to determine the inheri-
lance tax has not been filed. and so far
as known has not been completed. No
other appraisal OF the estate has been
made. The statement, however, that the
value Of Mr.. Harrimans property will
be found to be not more than $4,000. 900.
and possibly much less. is based on
authoritative information which fixes
this as the maximum. It is impossible
for any one at this time to set forth the
exact value Of the estate. When all
the accounts are settled, however the
Hartman. Mr.. Harriman's sole bene-
fciary under his will. may be nearer
$5O.O0O.OOO than, $75.O0O,OOO.
Mr.. Hartman had been engaged active
~ In many undertakings up to within a
short time OF his death and in carrying
these he entered into contracts which
must be adjusted before his estate can be
definitely settled. Since his death some of
the securities held by Mr. Hartman
have considerably, appreciated. He was
known to have held Guaranty Trust stock
which represented an outlay OF about
s., 100000. Since his death this stock has
appreciated considerably In value and
netted the estate, upon the recent sale of
lnlS STOCK 10 the morgan interests,
100000 more than this figure.
Wells Fargo Stock.
Mr. Hartman was also a large holder
OF Wells Fargo stock, and this too, has
appreciated in value since his death.
There are other securities, however. held
by the estate which have decreased In
value. and these go, partly at least, 70
Offset the increase In the value Of some
of tho other securities. Chicago Subway
securities are among those which have
declined In value since Mr. Hartman
died. and the estate Is believed to hold a
considerable amount of this stock.
When the facts regarding Mr.. Harri-
mans estate are formally revealed In the
states appraisal of the estate IL will be
found that while he was a very rich man,
mis- estate will not measure up by any
means to the estates left by the Wander
bits and the Astors and others of the
names linked with the country's largest
fortunes.
The facts regarding the size Of Mr..
Harriman's fortune, which will be found
to be relatively small compared with
some Of the estimates which have been
made since his death, Will serve to bring
out more prominently than ever the ex-
tent Of the influence which Mr. Hartman
exerted through his indomitable person
aHty. The influence which he exerted In
financial affairs was much greater than
that attaching to a fortune OF less than
$40. 100000.
