NEW YORK. February 2.-Victorious in
twenty-six out of thirty-one matches
played since they left Australia, the Aus
tralian amateur Rugby foot ball team,
thirty strong. arrived in New York yes
terday on the steamship Arabic, of the
White Star line. and left almost imme-
diately for San Francisco. They are
scheduled for a number of games in Cali
fornia and in Vancouver and Victoria,
B. c.. before taking ship for Australia,
February rs. when they depart on the
Moamo of the Pacific Steamship Com
pany.
The Australians left Sydney n S. W.,
August last and went direct to Eng
land, where they played all the leading
teams of that country. Following that
they invaded Wales and were beaten by
the Welshmen. their total score. however,
being twenty-six out of thirty-one match
games played.
James Mcmahon, manager of the team,
said that their trip had been most sat-
isfactory one. eve don't get a chance
to see New York. he said, land all of
the United States that we shall see will
be we pass through it on the fastest
train that can be found for us. Our
engagements to play in California and
British Columbia forbid our stopping off
here, much as we would like to. We play
sity. the University of California and a
team selected from the best amateurs In
California. Then we go to Vancouver
for game and have another at Vic
toria just before we take steamship for
home OF course we expect to win these
games, but there may be a surprise for
us. We are always willing to give q
good team a chance, and we have not
won everything in sight, although we
have had fairly good success
The expenses of the team, which will
have made a world tour when it again
reaches Australia, are paid by the New
South Wales Rugy Union, and the play
ers composing it include Fred Woods,

BASE BALL AT COLUMBIA.
Schedule of Twenty-Five Games Ar.
ranged for Season.

NEW YORK, February 1.-The longest
schedule which has been undertaken by
the Columbia base ball team in several
years was announced yesterday by Hast
ings Foote, manager for 1909. Twenty
five games will be played. only eight of
which will take place In New York. The
season opens on March - with a game
with st. Francs College of Brooklyn on
South Field, and the last game will be on
June with Brown, at Providence. One
game apiece will be played with Pennsyl
vania, Cornell, Yale and Princeton
Hitherto there have been two games each
season with Cornell and Pennsylvania
This is the first time in several years that
a meeting has been arranged with Prince
ton.
The annual southern trip will be taken
at Easter, as usual, and games will be
played with Georgetown, Annapolis and
the Mount Washington clubs. The New
England trip. which was given over last
season will be taken up again, and the
team will play games with Wesleyan,
Vermont. Williams and Brown during the
week following commencement. The COM
mencement day game will be played with
Georgetown. but arrangements have not
yet been completed.
1t is feared by the management that
many of the early games will have to he
Cancelled or played on the home grounds
of other teams because of the work in re-
constructing South Field. which is to be-
gin next month. Negotiations are under
way with the management of the Polo
Grounds and the American League Park
to secure the privileges OF using one of
these fields for practice.
The schedule follows:

The big bowling tournament OF the city
association came to an end last night in
the Palace alleys and another substantial
success was recorded The bowling has
been very good when II is considered that
the immense crowds had tendency TO
rattle the contestants and prevent large
scores. but the interest never Jagged and
continued throughout the seven days OF
the struggle for honors. The crowd on
hand last night was again very large and
interested in all the events. but nothing
remarkable was done in the way of big
scores.
c. Scherer gave the leader of class L
jolt when he toppled over $40 pins last
night and as result walked away with
the prize for that class. Scherer had
previously rolled with G. Warner in the
doubles of class C and had captured Sec
ond place
Besides the prizes that have already
been announced, the winners in each
class will get one $13 mineralite ball. c.
Lord won the special prize Of SO for the
best average in nine games. His total
score for nine games bowled in the tour
nament was 1900 pins, or an average of
100 per game.
The prize of $40 that was hung up for
each team making high score in each
class was won by the Orientals in class
A, who rolled $50: Mount Pleasant in
class B with 956 and Pilgrims in class
with 9oJ. Last nights scores fellow:

Pittsburg Nationals and he is to receive
an annual salary of $1,000. Hugh Tate
was with the Washington Americans two
seasons ago for several months.
Fred Clarke has been manager of the
Pittsburg club for nine years. and In
that time the team has never finished out
of the first division. winning three con-
secutive pennants, finishing second three
times. third once. fourth once. and last
year being tied with the New York Giants
for second position.
The Tigers play six games in row
with Cleveland right at the beginning of
the season. AS the Maps are VIGOROUSLY
Jonah for the men from Michigan s
metropolis. the outlook is not particularly
encouraging to Detroit fans.
Nearly 1900 tons of steel will be re-
quired, for the immense grandStand
which will be the largest base ball struc-
ture in the world at Pittsburg. The
American League club in Philadelphia
has only 400 tons. One of the conditions
of the contract for the steel stipulates
prompt delivery. Officials of the Amer
lean Bridge Company believe they can
erect it in less time and promise to COM
plete their part in twelve weeks from
February l.
Here is the latest directory OF the rOyal
family of base ball: Napoleon Lajoie,
Cleveland: Napoleon Rucker. Brooklyn;
Earl Moore, Philadelphia: Victor Schlit-
zer Athletics. and Royal Shaw. Pitts
burg. Then there are Grover Clevland
Land and J. Gladstone Graney of Cleve-
land. Blaine Durbin of Chicago and
Homer SmOot of Toledo.
Now they want to make a catcher of
Dode Crisis out in ST. Louis. DOde bat
ted better than Cobb last year, but played
in less than half as many games as Ty.
Crisis was signed a pitcher, but
couldn't pitch worth a snap. He also
seemed to know as much of fielding last
season as Hetty Green knows of scrub
bling kitchen floors. They need~Criss'
stickwork and the suggestion to catch is
the latest idea of making Dode otherwise
useful
That Manager Fred Lake of the Boston
Americans is pretty sweet on his pitching
staff is evident from the way he is now
talking. Lake says he would not swap
twirlerS with any other club in the Amer
lean League. The Red Sox will be we'll
fortified with strong pitching staff this
year. Ten husky pellet throwers have
signed and will constitute the corps of
sharpshooters who will endeavor to NOW
down the opposing forces and bring a
pennant to the Hub in 1909.

DRISCOLL COULDN'T
PUT LANGDON OUT

PHILADELPHIA. February 2.-Jem
Driscoll Of England beat Tommy Lang
don Of Philadelphia before the Washing
ton A. A. here last night in a six-round
tilt. The Briton won all the way, but
Langdon astonished every one of the fight
fans by his showing. In gameness alone
was he a match for the Englishman. The
Quaker boy was always willing to take
chance. and stood up to his opponent
manfully.
Driscoll proved marvel of the first
water. He was equally clever with both
hands, and showed as fancy an aSsort-
ment of sidestepping, blocking and duck
ing as Philadelphia has seen in q long
while. From the first round to the end
he maintained a safe lead over his rival,
but not until the latter jolted him up a
bit In the fourth did the Englishman cut
loose.
Then he sailed in hammer and tongs
and tried for knockout. He almost
succeeded, too, for one of his vicious
right hooks caught Langdon on the ear
near the end Of the sixth round, and
sent the Philadelphia staggering to the
ropes. Driscoll was unable to pursue his
advantage, as Langdon worked into a
clinch and stalled till the bell.
In every round Driscoll had the lead
His blows were the cleaner and his judg-
ment and generalship faultless. Langdon
did not land more than half the number
of times that his opponent did. and his
attempts were wild at times. He was un
able to ruffle Driscoll until the fourth
round, when he landed several pretty
hard wallops on Driscoll's ribs.

would sound more like slaughter house
news than that of the squared circle.
Whistler was on the defense throughout
the mill, and Tommy's tactics of might
ing wore down the Baltimore boy until
his seconds threw up the sponge to save
him from a knockout. Billy came back

and followed them up with one to the point
