RUGBY TEAM COMES
By JOE MURPHY,

San Francisco. January s1.-Unique and unusually interesting sport is promised the coast for next month when the Wa1labies, the Australian Rugby team, will arrive here for a series of games with various college teams and also with an all-star Ameri- can team.
 The first contest will be played on February IS, with the University of California fifteen. On February IT, the Wallabies and Stanford will be fighting for supremacy. This game should prove the stellar attraction of the se- ries, as both teams represent the best in the respective spheres. The Stan lords have just returned from the north cured over the Vancouver team, win Wallabies have suffered but two de- feats on their rans-continental tour thus far.
 The "All-American' team will meet the visitors on Saturday, February 20, in all probability.
 The Australians now touring in Eng land met their second defeat in De- cember at the hands of Wales, who defeated them by nine points to six. The English critics admit that the Wal labies were unlucky in losing to the Welshmen, whose back division was the worst that has represented the Hand of Leaks in years.
 The Wanabies expect to arrive in San Francisco on February To-

COLLEGE SPORTS
By MANHATTAN.

New York, January 91.-The college baseball schedule for 1909 has been com- pleted and it presages a most interesting season There will be more than the usual number of games between the north ern and southern colleges, the northern teams going south early in the season and the southerners coming north later In the big universities I understand there is an unusual amount of baseball talent. Cage work already has begun in some of the colleges and from now on the men will be kept busy.
 Cornell is planning a new boat house for the use of the college crews that will be constructed on the inlet. It is esti- mated that the structure will cost 5000 and s3000 of this amount has already been subscribed. The new boat house will be made large enough to house the Cornell navy as well as the canoes and row boats owned by the Aquatic club of the university. It is expected that the pro posed boat house will increase interest in intercollegiate rowing, which has fallen off of late.
 While no official announcement has been made by the Princeton football au- thorties as to who will be placed in charge of the gridiron affairs next au- tumn at Jungletown, it is an established fact among persons high up in Tiger ath- letics that the selection has been made and that the identity of the mentors of the 1909 pigskin combination will shortly be made public. From good authority comes the announcement that Bill Roper, 01, and head coach last year; Howard H. Henry, 95, and Phil King, '96. will be the trio to direct the Tiger gridron ma chine through the 1909 campaign on the chalk barred field.
 Princeton undergraduates, alumni and | all supporters of the jungle beast will receive this news with delight. as these | men are three of the greatest players ] who ever wore the orange and black on ] old Nassaus football field. Unlike past 1 years at Princeton, no one man will be
 placed in full charge. Instead of head 1 coach, enjoying undisputed authority over 1 his charges, three head coaches will over l see Jerseyites lext autumn.

 In the Kempton park great jubilee stakes Mir. August Belmont has noTni- mated Priscillian. MT. J. R. Keene has nominated four from the other side of the Atlantic ocean, these being Ballot, Hell met H.. Wedding Bells, IT.. and the fla nous Colin. These are only a few of the American entries.
 Important alterations and improvements have been made in Richard Crokers rac- ing stable at Glencairn by MT. Russell, his new manager, with the result that there is probably not a better equipped place of it's kind in the United Kingdom. One important addition is surgery and hospital on up-to-date lines
 Interest in MT. Crokers horses naturally centers in the famous Orby, the winner of both the English and Irish derbys, but there are in the boxes many other ami mals that their owners hope may become equally as famous.
 Sharing honors with the son of Orme and Rhoda B is Clonmell while the 1S mares are an exceedingly fine lot All the mares are in foa1 and MT. Croker is hoping that some of the coming offspring may prove to be derby winners.
 Another American millionaire IS going in for racing on an extended scale. He is MT. Louis Winans. who mas been active with trotting horses. He has just pur- chased a number of American thorough bredS

Muskogee, okla, January a.-The first week of the federal grand jury investi- gation of the alleged town lot frauds ended yesterday without any indictments being made public.

It has been necessary to bring a small army of witnesses here. and they are in most cases said to represent the dummies in whose names the lots were scheduled for the alleged purpose of de- frauding the government and the Creek Indians. Witnesses from Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia, Texas and Ohio are expected to arrive Monday.

MUCH INTEREST
 IN COMING GAME

Columbus, Ga, January 31.-(Special)- There is much interest felt in the pos sible third game of the season of basket ball between Columbus Young Mems Christian association team and the At lanta Athletic club team. Neither the time nor the place has as yet been arr ranged. Auburn has invited both Atlanta and Columbus to go to the court there for the game. Columbus is Inclined to accept the invitation. Columbus does not care to go to Atlanta on account of the fact that the court is much larger than the one upon which she has been accus- toned to playing and Atlanta does not care to come to Columbus because the court here is so much smaller than the Atlanta court. Atlanta desires to play the game in that city It is not known what Atlanta thinks about going to Au- burn.

AMERICAN HORSES
 GOING TO EUROPE

New York, January 31.--The English racing season which begins early in the spring will attract wide attention in this country because of the large number of American horses that will participate. The decadence of racing here as re- suit of legislation in various states has resulted in many of the best American horses being shipped abroad, where the sport is unhampered.
 Among the prominent owners who have sent horses to England are James R. ,Keene. August Belmont and Harry Payne Whitney, while scores of young horses purchased here at the yearling sales by British sportsn en also will make their appearance at the English race tracks.
