MUST CUT OUT WRESTLING.

Philadelphia, Feb. "a ike Muir
ply the famous athlete trainer, has
decided that wrestling is too danger
Gus for football players to indulge in
and will no longer permit the Univer-
sity OF Pennsylvania gridiron men to
grapple with the strong men of other
universities. Murphy's reason for
turning against the sport is the many
injuries sustained this winter by
Pennsylvania wrestlers, most OF whom
are football players.
Holman, one of the big linemen,
burst the drum of his ear and was
out of the sport for six weeks; Bur-
dick was out an equal length of time
because of a torn ligament; Payne
broke his arm and finally Pike, the
giant guard, broke his leg. This was
the last straw and Murphy ordered
Burdick, who had recovered from his
torn ligament, TO give up the sport

COLUMBIA ROWING CREW.

New York, Feb. 22.-Rowing at
Columbia university is in jeopardy.
only the pleading of the president
and manager of the undergraduate
crews prevented the athletic supervi-
sors from abolishing the sport at their
last meeting.
Because of lack of interest it had
been threatened to place a ban on
the sport, but the statement of the
crew officers that they hoped to bring
out creditable number of men for
crew work before the end of Febru-
airy prevailed, and after conference
it has been announced that the aquat-
ic sport has been put on two weeks
probation. Then If the interest dis
played is not sufficient Columbia will
withdraw from the intercollegiate re-
gatta and rowing will follow the path
Of football, as a thing of the past at
Columbia.

CHINESE BALL PLAYER.

Philadelphia, Feb. 22.-Fifty one
candidates for the University of Penn
sylvania freshman baseball team have
reported TO Coach Walter Cariss for
practice i'm the indoor cage. Among
the number is Frank Y. Kim, the
first Chinaman who has ever played
ball at Pennsylvania.
Kim has pitched for two years on
the Mount Herman school team and
has made quite a reputation i'm New
England. He is the first pitcher tried
out by Coach Cariss, and in spite of
the earliness of the season, used speed
and curves.
Kim stands about feet 10 inches in
height and weighs $50 pounds. 1t looks
as though he would surely make good.
Kim's appearance recalls the time
when limo Takaki. the little Jap, caught
on the Pennsylvania varsity team in
1907, and was besides a substitute
end on the football team.

COL0RED RAILROAD MEN
PLUNGE ON BLACK CHAMP

Should Jack Johnson, the present
champion heavyweight, lose his title to
James j. Jeffries July next when
they meet in their forty-five round
battle for the worlds championship, II
will mean n loss of at least S250,00O
to $500, 900 to the colored railway en-
ployes of the United States. This is
a conservative estimate and the
chances are the loss to them i'm case
Johnson loses will be still greater
There are $500 colored porters en-
ployed by the Pullman company, and
at a low estimate there are over 10000
colored men employed on the parlor
cars. dining cars and as cooks on the
various railroads, making fully 10000

that practically every one of them Will

900, which is very conservative, for
many of them will bet up into the
hundreds. and the chances are the to-
tai amount bet by the porters and
walters will be nearer half a million
than 100000. That will be quite a
bunch of money for the colorcd boys
to lose and it is a cinch they will be
pulling hard for "Mistah jack TO come
home with the bacon. If he does not,
then the men travellers might as well
prepare themselves to advance the
tips" after July until the porters
and walters recoup their losses.
Aside from what these colorcd men
will wager might be added what the
colored population in general viii bet
(and there are many colorcd sports
who will bet up into the thousands),

Gambling and Betting.

Does the man who CANDLES bet his
own money? Many man who would
be greatly indignant and insulted II
he were told that he was gambling
with what did not belong TO him
would have to admit the truth OF the
charge If he gave 1t few minutes
thought. He would not think of TAX
ing money from the cash drawer of
his employer. and yet he sometimes
borrows money from a friend with
which to gamble. II he uses money
which he owes to others for the neces-
stiles Of life to bet on horse races he
is using that which does not belong
to him. If his family needs the
money which he wastes in this way
he is using money which he has no
right to lose. There are very few men
who can conscientiously gamble. for
there are others dependent upon
them who have rights to be consid-
cred, and 1t is their money which is
lost. Think 1t over and see If Won
have right to bet on races or gamble
in any way.-Rome Sentinel.
