H|LDRETH At HEAD
OF WINNING OWNERS
For First Time in Six Years
James R. Keene Is
Not on Top.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-For the first
time in six years Sam Hildreth leads
the list of winning turfmen for 1910.
For the five previous years this honor
fell to James r. Keene, but last year
Keene raced only on the Metropolitan
circuit, while Hildreth campaigned his
big string all over the United States and
into Canada. His winnings for the year
were s144,025. nearly $4,000 more than
Keene's horses picked UP.
Keene, however, lost the honor
through a bit OF bad Judgment, the
sale Of Novelty to Hildreth. Some evil
genius told the veteran New York turf
man to let Novelty go, and he needed
the tip. Novelty won S72,9S0 during the
year, and the simplest mathematics will
show that this sum subtracted from
Hildreth's total and added to Keene's
$64,215, would have kept the New Yorker
in the lead.
Dalmatian and Fitz Herbert were
Hildreth's two other big winners in a
string, Of eighteen horses. r. T. Wilson
had his best year on the turf, despite
the decadence of the game in the Metro
politan district. His horses won $65, 795.

Former Champion Worth
$275,oOO, and Will Make
Tour of World.

LOS ANGELES. Jan. 2-Even IL you
get licked by a negro once in your life.
It pays to be a fighter. .,
II you don't believe this little remark,
just drop a query to James j. Jeffries,
once heavyweight champion of the
world. but now a retired gentleman of
means, with an automobile and fine
city home, a country place, and a bust
ness manager.
Jim's the real bond-clipping kid now,
and very rarely descends to the pie
beian> mode Of travel-the street car
because, you see, Jim's the possessor
of Just loads of cash.
He has a ranch Of los acres at Bur-
bank which is valued at the small sum
of $4,000; then there's his city man
sion, which could be assessed for 81, 900
without generalization; his saloon in
terest runs the grand total up another
$4,000; he has mortgages On various
city business property which total $50,
900, making a grand final in figures Of
S275,oOO, and that's a low estimate on
his possessions.
But that Reno thing still rankles, and
James has been heard to remark, once
at least, since the affair in the sage
/ poor man and the retired undefeated
I champion Of 'em alr' than a blOated
bondholder.
James is through with the stage, the
fight ring, and all other kinds of public
life.

By MICHAEL C. MURPHY
University
Championship Olympic Team of 1908.

Anyone who has followed the inter-
collegiate championships in 1910 will no
tice how close were the contests in each
event.
Take the track championships held at
Franklin Field: first one college. then
another. would be in the lead. IT was
only In the very last event that Penn
sylvania won out by two points, with
the smallest total that has ever won.
Never before has the winner scored less
than thirty points. The score does not
begin to tell how close was the struggle.
Every event was a splendid struggle,
with large fields Of contestants in each.
Baseball Also Close.
The baseball championship was equal
ly close. Penn won one from Princeton
and tied one, won two from Yale and
lost two. Unfortunately, they did not
play Harvard. They also won two out
of three from Cornell Princeton won
from Yale and Harvard and Yale beat
Harvard. Cornell had as good nine as
any. This puts the championship up to
Penn and Princeton, and, as Penn won
a game from Princeton, she has the best
claim to this championship. with Prince
ton second.
1t would be good thing II baseball
league could be arranged between Penn,
Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Cornell, and
Columbia, each team to play the other
two games, beginning on the last Satur-
day In April This schedule can be
played nicely and would be a good thing
for college baseball.

About D. A. Fletcher.
The so-called All-Star League exploit
ed by D. A. Fletcher did not progress
beyond the period of promotion because
several elements essential to the estab-
lishment of an Independent organisation
in the most important cities of the coun-
try did not enter into the project. As
the scheme failed to attract capital, no
provision was made for the purchase or
lease of park sites. and the erection Of
structures OF modern proportions and
services of men capable of conducting
major league teams were not secured.
AS mark of appreciation of the merit
of one Of its former club owners and
managers and an expression of sorrow
American League park was displayed at
halfstaff in games played between the
time Of the death and interment OF the
late Thomas ]. LOTUS, and its president
could attend followed his remains to
their last resting place. Organized base
ball suffered a great loss when this
pioneer Of the game passed away.
Sale of Browns.
The sale Of Mr.. Hedges holdings in
the ST. Louis club was practically con-
cluded- before the American League
was asked to approve the change in
the ownership of that plant. His re-
tirement from the league was purely
voluntary and all statements to the
contrary are without foundation. The
Il. -.
are men of fortune and business en-
terprise, and / am confident the Browns
will in a short time make showing
that will be satisfactory to their patrons
and creditable to the city that they rep
sent.
regard the ACQUISITION Of the Bos-
ton cub of the National League by
representatives Of business men of that
city as a tardy recognition Of the popu-
lar demand for home ownership.
Hopes for Peace.
In common with all who concede that
the best interests Of organized baseball
require the continuation Of conditions
ana relations under which the game has
attained phenomenal prosperity. / de-
plore the differences that have arisen in
the national association, and trust that
an amicabIe adjustment will be reached
without the Interference of the major
leagues.
That organization has over nifty
leagues in its membership whose aggre-
gate pay roll exceeds Sc, 900 a month. A
few OF the leagues of the lower -classi-
fication did not remain in the field
throughout 1910, but as whole the
minor leagues are permanent insttu-
tions.
The national agreement, to which the
major and minor leagues are parties,
is broad enough for the proper conduct
of the game on the plane Of sportsman
ship and square dealing. If those direct
ly Interested measure up to the require
ments and will devote themselves to
getting results under existing conditions
without seeking concessions for selfish
aggrandizement.
The Washington times., 1911-01-02

The season of 1910 was one Of the
most successful In the annals OF or
ganized baseball, despite the loss OF
large revenue to every league under
the national agreement from unfa-
vorable weather conditions in the
spring and lack Of competition for the
championship In both the major
leagues, and In the most important OF
the minor leagues, in the closing stages
of their respective pennant races.
Notwithstanding these heavy handl-
caps the American League lived up to
its splendid record. inaugurated in
1901. Of increasing the volume of Its
business over the preceding season.
The decisive victory of the Athletics
the first Eastern team to qualify Tor
the worlds series since 1906, over the
Cubs, furnished fitting finale to the
banner year of our organization. In
my Judgment. those who on performance
conceded the pennant to the Philadel-
phia team do not fully realize the pres
ent and prospective strength Of at least
two of the representatives in each sec
tional division of our league.
Cobb's Glory.
This triumph was supplemented by
Cobb, an American League player, cap
turing the Chalmers trophy emblematic
of the batting championship Of the
world by q margin SO small that the
donors Of the prize presented an auto
mobile of the same make and equal
value to LaJoie, the runner-up. All the
National League candidates for the bat
ting honors were practically eliminated
from the contest before September by
the remarkable record of the American
League leaders.
July l was a memorable occasion, ana
the attendance to the end OF the season
sttested the appreciation by the White
Sox patrons Of the superb accommoda-
tions afforded them by the liberality OF
President Comiskey. AS the Boston club
has recently acquired title TO lts
grounds, which will be improved In lSll'
every American League club now owns
the property on which its park Is or
soon will be located.
Praise for Players.
The department of managers and play
ers in 1910 games was fully up to the
high standard Of sportsmanship and dis
cipline maintained by the American
League with the cordial cooperation OF
fits club owners and the hearty approval
Of the press and public. Every mem
Der of the 1909 stan Of umpires was on
duty in 1910 and with the exception OF
KERN, whom ill-health untitled for
strenuous service, all were on duty at
the close Of the race.
Colllfower, who was given temporary
employment during Kerin's fncapacity'
was not retained and the vacancy has
been filed by the engagement of John
MullIn, whose splendid work in the
Western League led to his appointment
over many applicants.
With pardonable pride, desire to call
attention to the fact that in every
championship game Of the American
League during 1909 and 1910 one or more
Of its regular umpires officiated, there
