UMPIRE SHERIDAN
HAS GREAT NERVE

You can talk about nervy acts by UNI
pires, but 1 saw Jack Sheridan, the dean
Of the American League staff, show the
kind of stuff that is in him one day in
Louisville some years ago. said Tom
McCreary, the former big Lacquer who
is now purchasing agent for a Pittsburg
corporation. Never mind how old 1 am,
but ! will say this particular occurrence
happened before the Louisville and Pitts
burg teams were combined. Sheridan
was working the game himself this day
and he had some close decisions to rem
der. Some of them went against us. We
in the game we'll knew he was right, but
out in the right field bleachers there
were about 200 spectators. One loud
mouthed individual had excited the other
fans, and when he jumped over the rail-
ing the whole gang went with him to
get Sheridan. l happened to be at bat
and saw them coming.
:. Look out, Jack, here comes the crowd
to get you: duck quick I implored.
Sheridan said not a word, but started in
the direction of the mob and met them,
exclaiming, What do you buns want?'
Come quick, fellows, and we will get
this robber,' yelled, the leader of the
crowd. But Sheridan, before another
word could be said, yelled: I will whip
any one of you loafers, one at a time;
come on, you bumS.'
THE crowd stopped still and one at a
time dropped behind but the leader. and
when he saw himself deserted, he, too,

BIG BILLIARD MATCH.
Hoppe and Sutton to Play 1900
Points in March.

NEW YORK, January 22.-When
George Sutton defends his 1871 balkline
title against Willie Hoppe in Chicago
next March there will be a test of the
new style 1,o0O-point game which Hoppe
and Morninsstar strongly advocated when
they were on the outs with the billiard
authorities and which figured prominently
in the recent compromise which brought
the two outlaws back into good stand
ing.
Sutton has notified Hoppe that he has
acceded to the challenger's request for
a three-nght match, and names March
IA, ID and IL the dates. The match
will be played in Orchestra Hall, Chicago.
Each nights game will consist of 500
points.
This is the first time that either of the
balkline titles has depended on game
of more than 500 points, although many
special matches of more than one night
have been played. A majority of the
noted experts are in favor Of the longer
game. Hoppe and Morningstar contend
that any player may be in poor form in
a short match and that 500 points is too
brief a game to risk a title on. Their
argument is that player who may be
off one night has a chance to come
back" and that class will tell more in
the long run than in the short game,
where player may so above or under
his real speed.

PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES,
Many Topnotchers Ready to Join
New League.

NEW YORK, January 22-F'or some
time 1t has been whispered about that a
league for professional athletes was to
be formed in this country, but the first
definite information comes from Gus
Sachs of this city, who received a COM
munication from q we'll known business
man of New England the other day
urging him to manage the New York end
Of the game.
For a number of years MIR. Sachs has
been identified with amateur athletics. He
Is a member of the Pastime A. c.. and
is in high standing with all the athletes
He has given many fine medals for diff
ferent special events. Because of his
standing here, 1t is said, on good author
ity, he has been offered the management
of the new league.
The first contest will soon be held in
Now England, and it is the hope of the
management that professional games will
be held here within a few months Ru-
that many of the topnotchers in the local
amateur ranks have siSnitied their viii
ingness to turn pro" if the league
proves successful in the north.
Postle, the great Australian. and Day,
the English sprinter, have been sent for.
They both cabled replies to the New
England promoter. promising to come
over to this country Immediately. Hill

asked to represent America
There is no doubt that Harry Uillman

days before he departed he said to Law

TO INACCURATE NEW SYSTEM
Tiger Foot Ball Men to Have Spring
Practice.

PRINCETON. N. j., January 22.-The
foot ball authorities at Princeton Uni
versity will inaugurate a new system of
training for. foot ball candidates this
spring. They have come to the conclu-
ton that the Tiger teams have not;
been in the best of condition during the
past seasons and that criticisms stating
that Princeton team lacked endurance
were only too well founded on facts.
To remedy this situation the manage
ment has decided to make spring train
ing as compulsory as the regular fall
practice. The work selected to build up
the foot ball men will start after the
midyear examinations, and will consist
of cross-country running. They will be-
gin the work at short distances, increas-
ing the chase as the men round into
shape. 1t is expected that the systematic
training will accomplish much toward
building a strong, speedy squad and do
away with most of the early season lack
of condition.

BRILLIANT FIELDING
by GEORGETOWN BOY

Harry Murphy Of Coraopolis, the
Georgetown University boy who plays
middle field on the Pittsburg Collegians,
is a sprinter and an excellent base ball
player. says the Pittsburg Dispatch. He
covers lots of ground and often makes
circus catches because of his ability to
run. At Slippery Rock commencement
day last spring while the Collegians were
practicing the man hitting to the outfield
had Murphy chasing all over the lot. He
chased a long fly into deep middle which
went over his head, but he ran back and
pulled it down with one hand. An elder
ly gentleman was standing at the end OF
the grandstand, and when he saw that
catch he remarked to another citizen:
II thought they were college boys.
They are" replied the informed one
I'll bet that middle fielder is not COL
lege boy. He must be from the National
League team, because / never saw col
lege boy make a catch like that out

Extra Time Needed to Decide Con-
fest

animation to shoulder victory in its final
attempt of the season against a wash
ington team. For while II seemed as
if they would accomplish their purpose,
AS they literally played the local col
legians off their feet with fast team play
and accurate goal shooting. The hendall
Green team was playing under the handi-
can of unfamiliar rules, but soon struck
their gait and overcame the lead OF their
npucnents Capt. Birk started the on
siateht with cleverly tossed goal from
a difficult angle, and his UNDERSTANDS took
the cue TO follow suit. The chapter ended
with the score standing Ii TO IA In FAVOR
of the Gallaudet five.
Tbe cIoseness of the proceedings was
responsible for the hot competition, which
at the end of the allotted time TOOK the
form of tie score. BY mutual consent
OF the managers OF the TWO teams III
extra period of five minutes duration was
decided on. At the expiration of this
period, however. the teams were still even
in the matter of points. Accordingly an
other five minute period was played IT
was during this time that the local team
cot in its work. which decided matters

The work of Cook at center was the
feature of the game. from the standpoint
of the visiting combination. For the 10

form, and as he is also paying strict
attention to his training, he ought to
give Moran q tough fight.

feated by a decisive score the reserve
o,lint of ST Johns College in the Black
and yellow gymnasium shortly oe1ofe noon
today Although at the start of the en-
counter it seemed though the two
teams would battle evenly, five minutes
of playing disproved this, and the end
of the battle saw the visitors in the lead
by a margin of nineteen points, the final
score being AZ to %.
AT the end of the first half the score
stood 26 to 16 in favor of the Georgetown
collegians.
During the intermission 1t was found
that Walsh, the Blue and Gray guard,
had sustained broken nose from a bad
blow on that member in the first part
of the struggle. Sitterding was substi-
tuted, and the second half opened, its
inception being marked by a snappy 10
connective cheer from the rooters.
The last five minutes of the struggle
were as pretty and exciting as could be
wished Each team seemed to be on an
edge. and so vciously did they parley
passes and guard losses that but one goal
was made in the last quarter OF the hal1,
this feat being accomplished by Dukes
just as the timers signal announced the
close of hostilfties.
Cogan and Kingsley were easily the
brightest stars of the contest, each play
ing consistent guarding games, which
