fari-Mutuels Popular in France.

NEW YORK. July IA we'll known
New Yorker who has returned from
France, where he attended the races
daily. says that the pari-mutuel sys-
tenn of betting prevails exclusively at
their race courses, but does not pre-
vent the making of big wagers with
private bookmakers 1.-THE big bettors
do not care for the mutuels." said this
man yesterday. 1T is too much trouble
to buy tickets of small denominations
The mutuels are all right for the small
bettors and the public i'm general, but
that is all. In Paris every morning
there's plenty of big betting. The book
makers are there ready to quote odds
and accept wagers. and after the money
has been placed everybody goes to the
races to see the horses run. The
mutuels yield a revenue to the gov
eminent, and that Is why they are
maintained. but the kitty eats up all
the public's money in the long run II
it wasn't for this rake-off the govern
ment would stand for bookmakine at
the tracks. Racing is booming i'm
France at that. and Sundays I've seen
as many as $4,000 spectators. The sport
is fairly clean. but even with the
mutuels in vogue. there's plenty of
sharp practice. You'd be surprised to
see how many Americans are enjoy
ing the sport on the French tracks, and
most of them say they won't come

Local oarsmen, particularly the mem

which finished second to the victors the

JOE JACKSON WAS A SLUGGER FROM
THE FIRST TIME HE PICKED UP A BAT
Had a Hard Time Getting a
Trial With Professional
Club.
By J. Stuart Price.

Joe Jackson, the Cleveland star out
fielder. has. perhaps. the most interesting
career of any ball player of the present
generation.
Often star players have stories written
OF them in regard To their start in base
bali and their climb TO fame and for
tune, but as yet the correct story OF
Jackson has not leaked oui.
The tieet-footed Nap halls from South
Carolina coming from the Little city of
Greenville which is situated al the foot
of the historic old Blue Ridge mountains.
Jackson like all sons of Dixie, loved the
open air and spent his spare moments
on the vacant lots chasing fly balls and
batting the sphere out OF tEe reach OF
| his playmates.
He earned his living by working in one
of the cotton mills, drawing as his com
pensation for eleven hours OF hard work

After the mill closed It's days work al
$50 oclock Joe would join the other mill
boys in a game of innings" or innings,

whole bunch.
He soon realized that he could earn
more money at base ball than he could
a newspaper man who knew him took up
the cause and tried to get club in the
South Atlantic League to get him. The
manager of that team gave the pencil
pusher the laugh. and remarked that he
was surprised at him in asking for a
try-out for an ignorant mill boy. Not
discouraged, the same writer took the
matter up with the Greenyille club of
the Carolina Association, and persuaded
the manager to take Jackson on for a
try-our Jackson then had left Green
willie for a little town nearby. but was
signed and reported for practice in the
spring OF 1908 His newspaper friend.
who lived in the same city, spared no
space in boosting the boy.
In his first professional game against
the Boston Nationals in an exhibition
contest the mill boy displayed his nat
ural hitting ability by slamming out a
home run, triple and double in three
times at bat.
This boosted his chances and the man
ager decided TO keep him. He continued
to hit in other exhibition games. and
during the season of 1905 he easily led
the Carolina Association in hits. His
batting was simply wonderful

season in New Orleans he Joined the
Cleveland team. and in twenty games
with the Maps last year led the Ameri-
can League in stick work.
When Jackson first broke into profess
sional ball II took some time for him to
be taught to use pair of cheated shoes.
1t was his great delight to play in his
stocking feet. and consequently he was
! soon dubbed as the ''shoeless wonder"
He could move over the ground at a
whirlwind gait, and after learning to use
pair of cheated shoes his speed in
creased.
Considering the fact that Jackson in
three wears time has come from an ignor
ant mill hoy. working at starvation
wages. to a star ball player at a salary
amounting up into the hundreds each
month, his rise in base ball has really
been remarkable.

said he was simply a bush league flash

sent to the Savannah club OF the South

WATER MARATHON.
Long Distance Swimming Cham
pionship to Be Held in August.

NEW YORK, July 1.-The Mississippi
water marathon. emblematic Of the long
distance swimming championship OF
America, will be held August 49, under
the auspices of the Missouri A. c. of
ST. Louis. Coach Sullivan, inventor of
the trudgeon-crall stroke. thinks he has
at last man to beat Goodwin in the
event. This pupil of his. L. B. Banks,
has twice figured conspicuously in the
grueling test and of late he has been
showing remarkable speed. In a recent
trial in Laughlins lake he covered one
mile from q treadwater start in twenty
eight minutes, and Sullivan believes that
he can take considerable off this time in
the next two months. If this proves the
case, Goodwin will have to swim better
than he ever did before to win. His club
mates. however, feel confident that he
will successfully defend his title.

ond had started for third base, and the
hit to outfield. The fielder returns the ball
TO first base, trying TO catch the batter but
ball bounds into stand. The man on sec
ond had started for third base, and the
man on first stood on the first base bag
until after the ball was thrown into the
stand. The umpire allowed the man on
second to come home and only allowed the
man on first to go to second. Was the
above ruling correct? S. +. F.

not be stadium in the sense that the
Yale men have been planning for more
thar year, but it will be a permanent
stand Of steel and concrete. The present
plan is to construct q stand that will ac-
commodate both the foot ball and base
ball crowds. Yale's accommodations
now are such that foot ball has to be
played on one field and base ball and
track meets held on another. The Ellis
want to make arrangements by which all
of their sports can be held on one field.
While the plan calls for an athletic am
phitheater which will not be as beautiful
as that at Harvard, which some Yale men
wanted to match, it is likely that 1t will
be more serviceable than the Harvard
stadium. The latter is beautiful to look
at but it's construction is such that it
affords as poor view of contests held
within it.

Amateur Coaches for Yalep

With the close of Yale's base ball sea-
son reports are once more emanating
from New Haven to the effect that the
Ellis will have an amateur coach for the
nine next year. 1t is true that the pres
net season was disasterous one for the
Els, but the fault was certainly not due
to- the efforts of Coach Lush, who has
been in charge of Yale's base ball for a
number of years. Yale's team seemed to
suffer for lack of good material AS for
Lush, he has kept Yale base ball up to
as high a standard as 1t ever enjoyed
before he took hold.
1t is idle to talk about amateur coach
ing for any big university team. The
thing is wholly impracticable. All the
big colleges have tried it and all have
failed. The students. themselves don't
want it, neither do the vast majority OF
the graduates. Intercollegiate rivalry is
the thing which keeps up college spirit
and successful teams, Or at least teams
which can play well enough to arouse
enthusiasm, are essential to develop col
lege spirit.
