Special Dispatch to The Star
ANNAPOLIS, February 5.-The mid
shipman wrestlers did themselves proud
in the dual contest with the grapplers
Of University of Pennsylvania, winning
by the decisive score of six bouts to
one.
The visiting team lacked the agrees
siveness that was plainly apparent in the
work of the sailor lads, and the local
team gained five of the bouts as the re-
suit of clear falls, while the sixth was
awarded on points. Pennsylvania s
only victory was given on points. That
was in the 135-pound class bout, in which
Stewart easily had the advantage over
Gilbert of Navy
These two little fellows went after
each other hot from the start The
MILDLY had a shade the better of it at
first, but twice before the end of the
ten-minute limit Stewart had his OPP

The other bouts developed some espe-
cially spirited work. notably those be-

KEENE HORSES ARE
BIG BREAD WINNERS
Famous Stable Contained
Greatest Money Makers in
American Turf World.

LEXINGTON, Ky, February 5.-Statis-
tics Of the two and three-year-olds from
1870 to the close of the racing this year
show that James r. Keene was the owner
of the largest money winning horses of
that age during the entire forty years. he
having owned Domino when the noted son
OF Himyar and Mamie Gray as a two
year-old in 1893 won the enormous sum
OF s1SO.OS5, while Sysonby as three
year-old In 1905 won a total of $4,000
for the master of Castleton Stud.
Not only did Mr.. Keen, own these two
great racers, now dead, but not forgotten,
but he also owned Colin, the second larg-
est money winning two-year-old of the
last forty years, he having to his credit at
that age a total of $135,951. OF these
three biggest money winning horses
known to the American turf owned and
raced by one man, only one of these, CO.
lin, was bred by Mr.. keene. He pur-
chased imp. Optime. the dam Of Syson-
by, after the great mare had been bred to
Melton In England, and the colt was
foaled after the mare had arrived in this
country.
Domino, the other horse that won for
tune for the Wall street magnate, was
bred In this country by the late Maj. B.
G. Thomas, and purchased by Mr.. Keene
as yearling for $4,000. The following
year Domino established the American
record for money winners, and 1t has
never been touched by either a two-year-
old or a three-year-old.
Sysonby's winning record as a three
year-old, established in 1905, is by far the
greatest amount ever won by horse of
that age on the American turf, the near
est app zach to it being made by Hano-
yer in 1887. when the crack son of Hindoo
won $S9,S37.

UMPIRE FORFE|TS
SAME GAME Twice
Funny Stunt Pulled Off in the
Southern League Last
Summer.

Ever hear Of base ball game being
forfeited twice in the same day and on
each occasion to a different team?
IT. sounds like a pipe dream from the
winter hreside league, but 1t actually
happened last Fourth of July In Mobile.
Ala, in the Southern League.
Charlie Franks New Orleans Pelicans
were scheduled to play two games with
Mobile on Independence day. one In the
morning and the other in the afternoon.
It is a league rule that the two games
on all holidays shall be played this way,
and all the receipts are pooled and divided
equally among the clubs.
The Mobile management wanted to
play a double-header in the afternoon,
and thought that Manager Frank would
agree to it, as it would mean more money.
But they failed to get permission to do
this from the league directors.
1t so happened that Frank needed
games In the won" column at that time
more than he did few extra simoleons.
So he told the Mobile management that
he was going to play morning and an
afternoon game. But they laughed at
him.
Team Scales Fence.
At 10 O'Clock Frank and his Pelican
flock rode out to the ball field with UNI
pire Billy Carpenter In tow. Before they
arrived there the Mobile club got wind
Of it and had the park locked. A de-
serted and locked park greeted the Peli-
cans on their arrival. but Frank ordered
every one to scale the twelve-foot fence.
How the Pelicans. and especially chubby
Charlie Frank, got over the fence is a
question. but they flew over all right.
Umpire Carpenter refused to participate
In so undignified an affair. So the play
ers opened one of the gates and let him
In. Otto Hess pitched three balls over
the plate and Carpenter forfeited the
game to New Orleans. The team then
went back to the hotel
The Mobile management had advertised
a doute- header and the park was crowd
ed to the overflow in the afternoon. New
Orleans won the first game and then
started to leave the field. The Mobile
club officials had gotten next to the UNI
pire and persuaded him to call the second
game Frank refused to play and Car
penter then. for the second time that day,
forfeited the same game, only this time
he gave it to Mobile. Why he did it no
one knows. but glimpse of the mad.
bowling mob in the grandstand and
bleachers probably told him that discre-
ton was the better part of valor.
Then the crowd swarmed down on
the field mad as a hornet, while Frank
and his team folded their tents like the
Arabs and silently stole away to the
hotel and incidentally caught the first
train out OF town.
Mention the New Orleans team to
Mobile fan and he will get purple with
rage. But Franks trick was successful.

in the Philadelphia Telegraph. Few of
the present generation of fans will recall
the fact that twenty-odd years ago Mr..
Tener was one of the stars of Anson's
White Stockings, and he was with the
teams which toured the world with An
son.
Representative Tener. who is now a
banker at Charleroi, Pa, is SO boyish-
looking, despite his great height, that one
would never suspect that his base ball
career dated so far back. At the time of
the major league meetings in New York
last December Representative Tener
strolled near group of base ball men

introduced to them by George L. More

was Jim Mcguire, manager OF the Cleve-
land club.

remarked the representative.
When was that?" inquired the veteran
catcher.

Tener. 1T was SO many years ago."
Mr.. Tener played with Anson's team

NEW YORK. February added in
terest will be given the annual deep-sea
yacht race to Bermuda this year by
decision to sail on the same day June
2O that the Motor Boat Club of Amer
lea starts its power boat races to Ber-
muda. The date was announced today by
the regatta committee of the Atlantic
Yacht Club, under whose auspices the
yacht race will be sailed.
Horace E. Boucher, chairman of the
race committee, said today that the con-
ditions of the sailing race will probably
be the same as last year. These called
for bona-fide cruising craft of substan-
tial construction and rig. having full
decks and watertight cockpit. The
race was open to boats of any original
yacht club of the world and the craft
were divided into four classes, prizes
being offered in each division. The time
allowance was figured at forty-five min
utes to the foot for the full course, esti-
mated to be GO nautical miles. There
was no allowance for rig.

International Yacht Race.

NEW YORK, February 5.-There seems
to be a very considerable probability that
next summer Will see a three-cornered
international yacht race in waters not
very far distant from New York city.
The three contestants, in the event that
plans which are still embryonic can be
successfully contaminated, will be Great
Britain. Germany and the United States.
It Is intended that the race shall be
among boats OF the Q class, and that
every nation entered shall be represented
by three yachts. In case the contest is
held II will be under the international
rule. 1t is likely that either Marblehead
or the old Americas cup course off
Sandy Hook, will be the scene of the
race.

FOLEY INSISTS ON TRAINING
Georgetown Track Men Will Have
to Be Careful in Future.

The advent Of a training table for one
meal at Georgetown University last week
has given Coach Bill Foley an opportu-
nifty of bringing together his charges, with
the result that many who have been lax
in taking care Of themselves In the past
are threatened with being dropped from
the squad unless they be more careful
from now on. Foley realizes that train
ing among the athletes has not been very
prominent at the Hilltop school in late
years and he Is starting without delay to
remedy this evil.
With the first appearance of his team
scheduled for the federal games a week
from next Saturday. the Georgetown
coach Is now rounding his men into tiptop
shape, and he Is confident that they will
be able to care for themselves when they
make their debut. He will not allow his
relay four to run as such, but will enter
all of them in the Quarter-mile, while his
other men will be entered In the races for
which they are best fitted. AS this will
practically be the first appearance of a
full Georgetown team in some years, it is
being awaited with great expectation by
local enthusiasts, who are anxious to see
the Hilltoppers trim Virginia In the
Georgetown meet of March 5.
Virginia may be seen In two relays that
night, as Manager McNulty will accept
an entry from them In race with Yale.
The Ellis sent in their entry last week,
but up to last night no match had been
made for them. Because Of the close re-
lations that exist between the New
Havenites and the southerners 1t was
thought that perhaps Virginia would like
to get team race against Yale in an
event Of longer distance than one mile.
Columbia and Fordham have also en-
tered relay teams. while there is a great
likelihood that Harvard will fall in line
Negotiations with this end In view are
now being carried on, and should they
be successfully terminated relay fours
will be entered in the Blue and Gray meet
from every one OF the big Six" Of the
east and from the most prominent OF the
big southern schools.
