CHALLENGES WiCKS.
Tuckey's Backers Want Race for $50
 With Hospital Runner.

A Montville packer of Tuckey tele- phoned the following challenge to The Bulletin on Monday:
 Through the columns of The Bulle- tin, Thomas Tuckey of Montville chal- lenges Captain Wjcks of the Norwich hospital to a foot race either from New London to Norwich or of fifteen miles anywhere for a side bet of $50 The intercity run is preferred by Tuck ey. as that is where Wicks establish ed his record. It is hoped that the hospital man will be agreeable. If so the principals can get together for the arrangements and have a forfeit post ed with the Sporting Editor of The Bulletin.
 Tuckey, who was born in Thompson vile, this state, is 19 years old, five feet nine and one-half inches tall and weighs 121 pounds in running costume. His previous experience in the running game has been in Norwich and Willi- mantle. Last Memorial day he was beaten by Hilton in a five mile race al the fair grounds here, dropping out after three and half miles with a bad knee. At the Willimantic fair last Sep tember he won in the half mile and three mile races.

HARVARD MUST DO BETTER.
Oarsmen Are Not Rowing in Proper
 Fashion.

Harvard's varsity crew for the past week has been made up as follows: Stroke, R. w. Cutler. 1911; ', J. E. Waid, 1910; 6, G. F. Newton, 1912; 5, E. c. Bacon, 1910: 4, F. H. Leslie. 1912; 3, R. F.

Metcalf, who had been at 8, was out of the boat all week for the same reason. Balch had been tried Saturday at bow and had done well, but was also unable to row last week because of illness. Up till Thurs. day, the boat did not go very well; i; the men made a weak finish and were uncertain on their slides immediately before their catch. Friday, however, the boat went better than It has so far this year. The crew rowed down to the new bridge and back. On the return trip the men rowed in fairly good form from the new bridge to the Harvard bNidge, but the rest of the way back the rowing fell off considera- bly,

Local Maqnates in Session-Managers

 A. further limit to the players who might appear in the lineups of the teams was made by barring all who sign national agreement contracts for 1910. but it was provided that the ex- ecutive committee may, if considered advisable, permit exceptions to this rule.
 It was voted that only holiday games could be transferred, and these would have to be by agreement of the two managers interested and with the con sent of the president. Adjournment was taken to March 31st, which is the

BAN ON TOPPLES
 MAY CAUSE SPLIT.
National Trotting Association Likely to Find Trouble in Enforcina New Rule.

Months before the new rule relating to the abolishment of hopples in har- ness racing will be in even limited operation and almost simultaneous with the announcement of it's enact ment the periodicals of the trotting turf are asking whether the rule will ever become effective when it begins to bar hopples on horses of all ages. Doubts are expressed as to the power of the National Trotting association to enforce the rule without losing a large number of its members among the fair associations and half mile tracks, and the impression seems to be general that as between the two horns, of the dilemma the central organization will not hesitate to choose whatever course will keep its membership roll intact.
 Departing from all plans that had been suggested for ridding the trotting turf of hoppled pacerS, the recent con- gress of the N. T. A. framed the fol- lowing rule:
 'Hopples shall not be used in races or performances against time on two year olds or under in 1910, on three year olds or under in 1911. on four year olds or under in 1912, on five year olds or under in 1913, on six year olds or under in 1914, after which time hop pies shall be barred in all races"
 The purpose of this rule was to let the hoppled pacers now racing or in training finish out their careers with their value unimpaired and at the same time to head off the youngsters coming on, so that when the time limit ex- pires, in 1914, only handful of hop piers will remain to be affected by the final operation of the rule.
 Whether it will work out according to the expectations of the rule makers remains to be seen Although no pacer foaled in or after 1908 can hereafter under the rule race in hopples, every trainer In the country is still free to start as many new hoppled horses as before, provided they are of the re-
 
 coming campaign will not be reduced to any appreciab1e extent whatever by the operation of the rule, since two year o1dS alone are affected this year.
 All horsemen having the elevation of harness racing and the improvement of the breed of trotting horses at heart are disposed to applaud the effort of the National Trotting association to stamp out the hoppled pacer, but there seems to be a widespread belief that the rule makers b1undered in not put ting up the bars at once against new recruits of all ages To Let the hoppled

Police stopped the worlds champion ship Marathon dance at San Francis co on Sunday, after six of the contest ants had been dancing fifteen hours. The old record was 14 hours and 42 minutes. A protest arose from the B. 900 spectators and a riot was prevent ed only by the determined manner in which the officers cleared the plat form. Doctors who were in attend ance advised the police that further physical exertion on the part of the dancers might result fatally. Seven couples entered the contest and five couples finished. Probably the most remarkable feature of the performance was the fortitude of J. A. West who is 54 years old. Although at times during the night it seemed that his struggle to continue was torturing him, he waved his seconds aside and kept it up. Vests partner was a 16 year old girl

Oxford Shows Strong On Starting
Now Big Favorite Over Cambridge for Race Tomorrow -Tuckeys Hackers Challenge Wicks-Norwich City Baseball League Meeting

London, March 21.-The Oxford and Cambridge eights who will meet in the annual boat race on Wednesday, are putting in the finishing touches at Putney Both crews were out today practicing short burts against scratch eights. The Oxonians made the bet ter showing and they are now hot fa- vorites in the contest. Most of the afternoon was occupied in practic1ng starts. In starting Oxford has had the advantage of the light blues all along.
 There has been some protest by the Riverside clergy against the date or the race, this having been fixed for Wednesday in Holy week, but the pres idents of the Oxford and Cambridge boat clubs have declined to change the date, explaining that it was selected after very careful consideration with senior members of the university, and was the most suitable that could be chosen. It has been decided, however, not to hold the usual dinner after the race or to accept any of the official in vitations to places of entertainment which have been customary.
