ONE MORE CHANCE FOR THE BUG
Has cur n Seat on the Water
Wagon and is Tied.

- JIG
Wagon and is Tied.
NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-It begins to look
as If Bugs Raymond, the king Of all the
spit ball pitchers and, incidentally, the I'M
disputed chairman Of the American Nut
club, is to be given one more chance.
Tn a letter from Chicago the Bugs tells
the New York management that he has
secured a seat on the water wagon and
proposes to have himself tied there and
fastened Town with a time lock. Raymond
was not blacklisted for his performance of
last fall and there will be no trouble In
his reinstatement II McGraw decides that
he can use him. 1t seems improbable that
Raymond will stick to the water cart for
any length of time, but McGraw figures
that If he is in pitching condition for the
first half of the season he will give the
club a big boost.
Last season Bugs won more games than
any mar on the club with the exception of
M~athewson. He tried hard the first Of the
season, but toward the end he went bach
to his old habits. He quit the club cold and
took a job as bartender In a saloon on
upper Eighth avenue. That
was perfectly satisfactory to McGraw at
the time. as he was tired OF fooling with
Raymond, anyway.
II McGraw feels inclined to worry over
Raymond another six months the famous
pitcher will get another chance. 1t is up to
him to make good.

NEW YORK STANDS HIGH
Won Eleven Events in Famous Meet
of 1905.

A record of the international athletic
competitions in which the United States

AUTO RACING ON FLORIDA BEACH
Dig Meet to BE stnged on RRcewny
for March.

Big Meet to he Staged on RncewRy
for March.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Feb. 12.-That
long sandy waste at Daytona beach
will be dlscolored again this year with the
gasoline trail of racing automobiles was
made evident the other night. According
to an announcement made by the Florida
East Coast Automobile association a big
motor speed carnival will be staged on the
famous beach raceway. The date set was
the last week In March.
The news came as a big surprise to
motorists ali over the country. Tit regular
wintef meet Of the club was called off this
year and 1t was supposed that the beach
racing events for 1910 had been abandoned,
altogether. However, the races the latter
part OF next month will take the place OF
the clubs winter meet. The promoter who
arranged the carnival last year declared
some time ago that he would not be con-
nected with a 1910 revival, declaring the
proposition to be u financial loss. 1t is re-
ported, however, that better monetary ar
rangements are assured this year and that
the races will be a big success.
Judging from the number of speed mon
sters' that are in this country at present,
the beach should be the scene of high
speed flights. The new foreign importa-
tions for racing campaigns are well
adapted for beach competition. Indeed 1t
looks as though speeding like the old-time
contests at the beach will be in order next
month.
1t was stated that a sanction had not yet
been applied for. However, the Daytona
event would fit in very well in the racing
schedule as announced by the American
Automobile association. There is a track
meet at Los Angeles on March II and Ii.
1t would be a very easy trip over to the
Florida coast in time for races during the
lost uyaek of tho month

CARTMELL GIVES UP RACING
VIII Coach University of North Caro-
lima Track Team.

VIII COAcn UnlNergtty OF NOrtn OhFO-
lima Track Team.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb, 12.-Nat
Cartmell, the former University Of Penn
sylvania sprinter declares that he is
through with the competitive end Of ath-
letics for good. Cartmell will soon go
south to coach the University of North
Carolina track team. He has no intention,
just now at any rate, of running profess
sionally in this country. Until told of the
scheme by Mike Murphy, his old trainer,
he knew nothing of the proposed profess
sional circuit certain New E~nglanders are
thinking Of organizing.
Cartmell was in England about eight
months. In that time he engaged in al
most 100 races. From time to time word
Of some of his wonderful feats on the Gin
der path found its way to this country, but
most of the reports were very vague. He
received but little mention in the cables
until he defeated Postle, the Australian
champion, some weeks ago in a 29O match
race.
While on the other side Cartmell beat the
best sprinters in the world, both amateur
and professional. He met Walker, the
South African, who won the 100 meters
championship at the London olymplcs, in
hAN hA0NNAA ~ wv s6AAnf bhN was GdlN
by less than half a foot. Walker got the
jump on him at the start, and at sixty
yards was leading by at least three yards.
In the last rush to the tape Cartmell cut
this down to a matter Of a few inches.
After that Cartmell and Walker met at
least ten times at distances ranging from
lO to 20 yards and each time Cartmell
won. On July 8 last Cartmell defeated
Bobby Kerr, the Canadian, in the amateur
20 championship in p seconds flat.
Kerr jumped into worldwide prominence
a year and a half g by winning the 200
meters championship at the London
olympics, defeating the greatest sprlnters
in the world. Up to that time his reputa-
ton had been confined mostly to Canada.
He was known TO be a good man, but was
not thought good enough to beat any one

POLO GROUNDS FOR NIGHT SHOWS

NEW YORK, Feb. R-Following the ex-
ample Of the Cincinnati and Pittsburg
clubs, the New York base ball club may
use the Polo grounds for night shows dur
ing the summer. So as not to cut up the
playing field, it is planned to cover the
diamond with heavy canvas so that gal
looping horses will not dent the ground.
The scheme was tried in Pittsburg last
summer and proved a big attraction. II
was nothing unusual TO play TO a crowd Of
1900 people. The lighting arrangements
would only be a minor detail.

A Census Prophecy.

Whether ours is the foremost nation
of the world in all respects, as thou
sands of patriotic Americans like to
believe, it is at least first in the num-
Der of cities of truly metropolitan size
that is, having over million popula-
ton. In New York, Chicago and Phil
adelphia we have three cities past, and
several others are nearing, the million
mark Only three others nations
Japan, China and Russia-have two
such towns in their national limits
proper. Japan has two, Toxic and
Osaka; Great Britain has two, II we
count Calcutta, India but only one
correctly speaking. France, Germany,
Austria, Turkey and Argentine have
one each-Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Con-
stantinople and Buenos Ayres. Russia
has st. Petersburg and Moscow;
China, Pekin and Canton, all of this
class.
OF sixteen metropolitan centers Of
population in the entire world, taking
over a million population as the test,
the United States has three or nearly
one-fifth, with chances for st. Louis,
Boston and possibly one or two more
to get into the million game by 1920.
In the very nature of things the older
countries of the world, where the pop
ulation is already dense, can't keep
pace with us, and the newer ones will
be long time in catching up; so that
it is not a fanciful prophecy to say
that by the end of this century the
United States will have one-half of the
cities of the world numbering mill
ion or more inhabitants. If anyone
who reads this prediction is disposed
to doubt it, just let him wait and see

Buchanan. He read for the subject
the narrative of how God Selected Da-
vid as Sauls successor to the kingdom
of Israel. How beautifully the thought
is brought out that God always selects
a busy man to do the great things in
life. Davids seven brothers. all more
promising so far as outward appear,
ance goes, were rejected; then David,
the youngest, but the only busy one OF
Jesse's sons, was chosen. And such a
selection! The history of the entire
world has been changed. yet from
mans viewpoint he was the least of
Jesse's sons.
