stRr--Baae Ball Prac-
tioe BeRtna.

MADISON, Wis, March 19.-(specisL)--
Although the hope for a championship
track team at the University OF Wisconsin
this year is not causing the fans to so into
ecstacy Of delight, they have been bright
ened materially during the last week by
the reappeRrance Of Oscar p. Osthoff the
varsity strong man, on the campus once
again. At the close Of the last semester
he was obliged to go home for medical
treatment and for time It seemed as II the
varsity would have to get along without
him. The big fellow has improved fast,
however, and will be the Badgers hope In
the weight events In the conference this
year.
Wisconsin will be weakened In the dual
meets for the reason that Osthoff will
will not be eligible until after the spring
"con" exams. but he will keep in condition.
and Il is expected that he will carry off
at least eight points in the conference
meet this year, He took second to the
Stanford crack last spring ana, as the
latter iE now coming with the coast ath-
letes to Chicago Osthoff ought to have
little trouble in taking first in the shot
and possibly a first In the discus.
Fast One Discovered.
Coach Lathrop discovered his first dark
horse" last week. the athlete In question
being Ray Sanders, a former Morgan Park
star Sanders worked at the vault last
year, but failed to do anything remarkable
in the event. This spring he announced
his intention OF trying again for the same
event. He was doing some slight light
work on the track one afternoon when the
coach spotted him and, seeing the possi-
bilities OF good man, sent him to try the
quarter. Sanders. although new to the dis
tance, managed to 90 the three laps in an
even :56, the fastest time that was made
BY any OF the relay men, and Lathrop ex-
poets him to do much better on the larger
track, and especially out OF doors.
Captain Culver had the base ball men out
on the lower campus on Wednesday, the
earliest that the men have taken to out
door work in several years. Culver and
Coach Barry are working at the batting
end of the game, allowing the candidates
to whack the ball to all corners of the lot
and giving the outfielders plenty Of prac-
tice.
The gym team which will represent the
Badgers In the coming gymnastic meet at
Minnespolis will be weakened materially
by the loss Of Grunert, who is said to be
the best gymnRst that has been seen here
since the days Of zeidlehack, who captured
the individual championship the two years
that he represented Wisconsin. There are
number Of promising youngsters, how
yer, and while there is little hope of the
Badgers taking first, Coach ZeIdlehack is
confident that his team will make a good
showing.

NEW RECORD IS LOOKED FOR
OIdfieId Expected to Beat All at Day

Oldneld Expected to Beat All at Day
tOna Meet.
DAYTONA, Fla, March l9.--One hundred
and fifty miles an hour is the speed which
will be attained by the winner OF the one
mile worlds straightway championship on
the Daytona beach during the 1910 speed
carnival to be held March q, % and a. ac-
cording to a prediction made by Hemmery
the great French driver.
In letter to Barney Oldfield, the noted
sutomobilist, who is the new owner of the
200 horsepower Benz, with which Hemmery
drove mile over the Brooklands track in
England at the rate OF lbs miles an hour
the intrepid Frenchman tells Oldfield' that
16O miles an hour speed can be made il his
instructions as to gearing and adjusting the
carburetor are followed. Hemmery knows
the Daytona beach well, and the big Benz
was built for him to eclipse the record OF
NaszarrO, the Italian. who had previously
attained speed Of VI miles an hour on
Brooklands.
Hemmery cautioned Oldfield to work out
on the beach with the car for at least two
weeks and to have wind shields for head
and body before he attempted to open the
monster to it's limit.
hopeful Of having the Benz-F1at match de-
cided at Daytona. According to oldfield
the 5000 purse and 5000 cup which the
Fiat side claims has been offered by the
Los Angeles board track promoters Is a
myth. Propositions were made to pay Old
field stated amour and his expenses and
De Palma was also to get a certain sum
for going to the coast. 1t is said that the
aggregate was to have eoualled about Is, 900.
and after the talk OF the big race came up
the promoters simply added a 1900 cup
and called 1t 5000 purse.
oldfield asserts that Arnold, owner of the
200 horsepower Fiat, agreed to race against
his Benz In Florida, and the track cham
pion says that the Fiat man will have to
make good his agreement and race In
Florida or not at ALL Barney seems to
have the best OF the argument, as the
Florida course is the only one In the world
on which two cars can be sent at their
greatest speed.
oldfield has announced that he will posi-
lively not so to Los Angeles for the open
ing meet OF the board track, and until the
racing circuit opens in the east. the monster
Benz will not be seen in action except in
Florida.
In 1904. oldfield defeated w. X. Wander
bildt, jr., and his Mercedes with the Win
ton Bullet. but Vanderbilt captured the
record for the fastest mile ever driven In
the world up 10 that time. Since then Il
has been Oldfields ambition to hold the
mile straightwey record, and this was
foremost In his mind when he paid $4,000 for
the big BenE.

Chatter from the Ring Side

The Emeryville race course in Almoda
county, just across the bay from San
Francisco is an ideal place for the john
son-Jeffries fight Up until the California
legislature put crimp in race track bet
ting the Emeryvllle track was noted far
and near, but little has been done in racing
the last winter.
Emeryville is one OF the California towns
that was Incorporated some years ago for
a special purpose. Racing was under at
tack at Ingleside and other courses so that
the notion was conceived of building a
new town with a race course as the prin-
cipal feature Tom williams owns the
larger majority OF stock OF the New Cali
fornia Jockey club which, in turn owns
Emeryville.
Jeffries, who has been hunting in the
Tehachipi mountains, announces that he
will train for the fight in the mountains
near Santa Cruz where a camp will be es-
tablished April /. Jeffries will not do any
real hard work until the first Of May.
Frank Gotch and Corbett won't join the
outfit until June 1, Roger Cornell Of
Frisco and Bob Armstrong, together with
Farmer Burns will handle the big fellow
in the meantime. Billy Delaney refused
overtures which were made to him to join
the training squad. Ever since Jeff re-
pudlated a match which Delaney made with
