IDEA GAINS FAVOR
Racing All the Way to
Pacific Coast Plan for
Fastest Vehicle.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-The racing cir
cult idea has invaded the motorcycle
world and is revolving itself persist
emily from coast to coast. This move
ment toward a motorcycle racing cir
cuit-or circuits-is the natural result
of the growth of the motorcycle racing
game, and is breaking out in many
States
There is no doubt that there will be
better motorcycle racing next summer
and it is equally certain that the sport
will be better organized. The Circuit
idea" is one step in this direction.
When it comes to speed, nothing on
wheels has out-run the motorcycle for
a distance of five miles or over.
One of the most recent suggestions
for a motorcycle circuit. is national in
its scope. Those who are favoring the
suggestion say that better fields and
stronger meets would result
The >plan contemplates the Pacific
coast as a starting point. There the
Los Angeles motordrome, the Plaza
del Ray saucer" and the new Oakland
track would form good ground for
meets early in the year.
Indianapolis, with its motor speedway,
and Chicago and Cleveland would fig
ure in the middle West. In the East,
Buffalo, New York, and Philadelphia
are ready. In the South there are good
tracks at Atlanta, New Orleans. Dallas,
Galveston, and San Antonio.

DATES MOVED UP
FOR M|L|T|AAEN
Slight Change Made In Ma
tional Guard Basketball
Schedule.

The February schedule of the Dis
trict National Guard Basketball
League has just been completed by
Captain Edwards. director Of ath-
letics of the militiamen.
Because of the inconvenience of the
original date for the members of the
two teams, the game between the
First Battalion and Company H has
been moved up from February l to
next Monday.
The schedule for the month follows:
Friday, February 3, Company E VS..
Company H, and Company K VS.. First
Battalion.
Monday, February 6, Ambulance
Corps VS.. Company K.
Wednesday, February s. Company H
VS. Company E.
Friday, February 10. First Battal-
lion VS.. Company K.
Monday, February 13, Ambulance
Corps VS.. Company E.
The first month of the league has
been most successful and with each
successive game the quality of sport
has shown decided improvement.
1t has been suggested that a post
season series be played between the
winners of the National Guard cham
pionship and the leaders in one of the
divisions of the city league. This
may be arranged later.

Bocock is welcomed.

That Branch Bocock, the former
Georgetown captain, is welcome at
North Carolina as director of athletics
is shown by the following from the
Chapel Hill student publication:
Football enthusiasts at Carolina are
delighted at the success Of the athletic
adviser, DR.. J. F. Royster, in securing
the services of Bocock.
''BoCock is ranked as the best coach
in South Atlantic football.
"Bocock developed the best interfer-
ence in his backfield men that was dis
played by any team which Carolina
faced last fall. AS a by-product of this
teamwork, which is the first aim of his
coaching, he has turned out some stars
of South Atlantic importance, notably
the Hodgsons.
"Bocock is well versed in football con-
ditions in the South. He from expert
ence has learned the climatic peculiari-
ties which make advisable certain vari-
ations in coaching policy. He is much
more able to cope with athletic condi-
tions in the South than the Eastern star
just out of college, who has had no ex-
perience as a teacher of his science"

Delaney Done With
JeffrieS and Johnson

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-During the
recent flareup of Johnson-Jeffries fight
rumors the veteran trainer. Billy De
laney. was asked what he thought OF
the idea and whether he would appear
in the corner of either principal in case
of a return match.
Judging from his reply, Delaney seems
ready to handle no one but AL Kauf-
man. Under no circumstances would
l train Johnson again" said Delaney.
He treated me we'll after the bout and
we are friendly, but l would not train
him again for the entire purse. There
Is no possibility of my working with
Ieffries. We had a little settlement
in the ring at Reno and negotiations
between us are closed"
In case of a Johnson-Kaufman bout
Delaney said that he was no longer
Kaufmans manager, but that he would
be glad to give the Californian help if
he could. Delaney laughed at the idea
of bout being arranged between Kauf-
man and Jeffries.
The big fellow knows when he is
well off," remarked Delaney. He will
never take another chance. AS have
said, Jeffries and have settled our diff
ferences and I want to be let alone in
regard to him"

Defeated.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 26.-The proposed
amendments to the constitution of the
American Bowling Congress, cham
pioned by the st. Louis TenpIn Bowling
Association, will meet with ignomInious
deteat at the hands of the delegates
and alternates to the convention when
they assemble this evening.
The pet scheme of the local men. to
which they have given so much time
and thought, will fall by the waysIde.
Not single proposed amendment
stands a chance OF adoption. This in
formation comes from a high official of
the A. b. {. who knows what he Is
talking about, and can be nailed as the
real dope, hot off the griddle.
The proposed individual plan Of
not chance in the world of passage.
While l myself am in favor Of It, others
are not. This plan has been tried by
the National Bowling Association, and
has proved a dismal failure. This as
sociation, under the Individual plan, has
a membership of barely 500. and the in
come from dues is less than $50 year.
There Is only one city in the United

those which are capable of handling it.
THIS is Chicago, and / have it straight
from the delegates who vote from there
that II this individual amendment
passes they will not bid for the show.
"All of the other amendments are
either regarded as too radical, or so
dis agreeable that they would be a bur-
den to the congress. There Is nothing
to it but that every one Of them Will
be defeated, and I cannot but think It
will be for the best. I am sorry for the
St Louisans who fathered them, of
course. They did the best they knew

Advice from O'Connor.

Maurice O'Connor, who has seen as
much of amateur baseball in this city
as any man in Washington, comes for
ward with a suggestion that in order
to do away with the annual suabble
over amateurism and professionalism
here that all players who have played
In organized baseball be barred from
the circuits of the city.
O'Connor's suggestion sounds good to
me. It would be suicide to attempt to
bar all men who are known to have re-
ceived remuneration for athletics, but
at the same time the perennial cry
against open professionalism will con-
tinue to be heard unless something is
done.
OF all the suggestions 1 have heard.
as a solution for the problem, O'Con-
nor's looks like the best as a starter to-
ward purging baseball here of its most
Objectionable feature.

Cornell Eleven

ITHACA, N. Y, Jan. 26.-Announce-
ment of a new football alliance between
Cornell and Michigan was made by
Graduate Manager Scott, of the Cornell
Athletic Association. Mr.. Scott said
that a two years contract had been
arranged between the two institutions,
the first game to be played in Ithaca
next fall, on November 4 or Novem-

This will be the first time in years
that Cornell has played Michigan in
football. Cornell has one more game
with Chicago per contract, but after
that no more games will be played with
the Maroons because of the rules of
the Western Conference. The big games

Princeton ten years ago, Is one Of the
old school football players who is not
favorably impressed by the revised
football rules.
Lipple was in Washington on busi-
ness yesterday, and he was discussing
the supposed benefits of the new code.
In his opinion the changes have not
added at all to the interest in the sport,
and he points to the Army-Navy game
as an example when there was so much
kicking that the contest developed into
practically a duel between the punters.
He thinks the added intermissions
have made the game draw without
being of any real benefit to the players

NEW YORK, Jan. 26-Although he

the ten-round bout at the Empire A. C.
last night, Bert Keyes is today receiv-
ing more praise for his showing than
is the victor. Keyes was substituted for
Tommy Murphy on twenty-four hours
notice, and he gave Brown one of the
stiffest arguments the latter has had in
many a day.
Brown was devoid of cleverness and
passed a score of opportunities to put
over his well-known kick" All
through, the championship aspirant's
exhibition was such as to give his
friends scant hope for the outcome of
his contemplated fight with Ad VOL
gast, the champion.

BLOOD TROUBLES
CONSTITUTIONAL INFECTION

Constitutional Blood Poison is the
most insidious of all diseases. It
begins in an Insignificant manner,
usually the appearance of tiny sore
being the only outward evidence of
its presence. But down in the blood
the treacherous infection is at work,
and in a short time its chain of
symptoms begin to crop out. The
mouth and throat ulcerate, skin
eruptions break out, sores andulcers
appear on the body, the glands in
the groin swell, and sometimes the
hair comes out. Mineral medicines
cannot cure Constitutional Blood
Poison; they only shut the disease
up in the system to shoulder and
await an opportunity of breaking
out afresh. The only possible way
to cure the disease is to REMOVE
the germs from the blood. SIS. S.

moving the infection makes the
blood pure, fresh and healthy. This
