Year.

RICHMOND, Feb. 13-Manager Frank
Corley, OF the Richmond College track

for holding the open-air meet at Broad
Street Park on April Il.
Owner w. B. Bradley assisted ma
terially in the matter of terms, offer
ing to aid the collegians in every way
possible toward making their meet the
biggest success of its kind ever held in
the South.
A letter has been addressed to the
secretary of the South Atlantic divf-
sion Of the Amateur Athletic Union
asking the sanction of that organiza-
ton for the meet. While this is largely
perfunctory, 1t is nevertheless essen
tial, for no meet can be held in which
organized athletic associations And re-
putable colleges and schools take part
without the sanction OF the governin.
body.
Just as soon as the official stamp of
approval is placed on the meet by the
governing body, meeting of the Ath-
letic Association of Richmond College
will be held, at which all of the details
will be discussed. A letter will be
framed and forwarded to each Of the
universities. colleges, and prep schools
in the States of Virginia, North Caro-
lima, and District of Columbia, inviting
them to enter the meet. In addition

Tex Rickard Going
Back to the Ranch

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-Tex Rickard,
probably the most interesting char
acter in the sporting world, has told
the story of his checkered career,
from a cowpuncher to a millionaire.
Forty years old now and rolling in
wealth, his life has been one series
of ups and downs
At eleven years Rickard started life
as a cowpuncher on the Texas frontier.
At twenty-five, with barely car fare, he
went from Texas to Alaska. In less
than two years he made s57, on Daw-
son mining properties there. In June
of the following year, 1898, he was fiat
broke. He had sunk his entire bank
roll and things broke disastrous for
him.
In the spring Of 1899 he went to
Nome with $35 and started a gambling
house there. In the fall of the same
year he had cleared up $4,000. One year
after his $35 start he was 100000 to the
good, and in five years was worth a
half million. He sunk this in mining
properties then, and before six months
had lost all but $4,000. With this he
went to Goldfeld in 1906, and with a
partner invested $4,000 in the Northern
saloon. In five years $l,000,0O0 dividend
was declared on the $4,000 investment.
The panic of 1907 came near putting
Tex" down and out for good. Mining
stocks went bad, and he dropped
81 500, 900 in cash. He had held consider
able property, however. and when
things doomed again he sold his proper
ties, realizing enough for another fresh
start. When he came East last winter
to bid for the Johnson-Jeffries fight
Tex" was suspected to be broke. bp&
he says he was far from it.
lust now Rickard is preparing for a
trip to South America.
Are you contemplating anything OF
a sporting nature?' he was asked.
NO" he replied, the fight game is at
a standstill. I'm going back to my first
love-cattle raising"

NATIONALS DROPPING
INTO HOT SPRINGS
Mcbride, Milan, Johnson,
Schaefer, and Hughes
Already There.
CHEERFUL IN SPITE
OF A SNOWSTORM
Operations Will Begin AS Soon AS
Weather Man Turns on
Sunshine.

HOT SPRINGS. Ark, Feb. 13.-De-
spite a cold wave and snowstorm that
temporarily nipped baseball enthusiasm
here, the advance guard of McAleer's
hopefuls. who arrived Saturday night,
are in a cheerful mood and ready to
begin operations as soon as the weather
man changes his attitude and pulls the
sunshine lever.
Among these now here are Capt
George Mcbride, Center Fielder Clyde
Milan, Walter Johnson, rather well
known as a pitcher of some ability:
Germany Schaefer, and Tom Hughes.
Captain Mcbride said today he ex-
pected the others in any minute, and
then the real work of the preliminary
limbering will begin.
Although the weather is not propitious.
Mcbride said that he and his men would
probably put on uniforms this afternoon
and go out for run, and that possibly
there might be little batting and field
ing.
1t is expected that the work the boys
will get here will put them in fine con-
dition for the exhibition season and lay
the foundation for the physical require
ments of the pennant race.

First Contest Here
Is With Georgetown

While little has been divulged as to
the spring program of the Nationals,
further than that they will leave this
city March for Atlanta for the really
serious work of preparation, ii is prac-
tically settled that they will make their
initial bow to the enthusiasts of this CITY
on April ! in a game with Georgetown.
The collegians will be followed by sew
eral National League teams for eXhloi.
ton games, so that the Nationals should
be on edge by the time they start the
season on April u with either New York
or Boston as opponents.
Much speculation has been indulged in
as to the strength of the Nationals. and
the assertion has been made that the
team is no weaker than it was last sea
son. 1t was by no means a weak team
last summer. Although the Nationals
finished seventh, still they were but
seven points behind Chicago in sixth
place, which was practically a tie, and
but thirty points away from Cleveland
in fifth place.
A team that finishes in that manner
cannot be designated as weak.
Il must be remembered also that a
manager of the skill of McAleer will
hardly permit his team to do any slip
ping, barring, of course, accident There
Is every reason to believe that the Ma
tionals will do better this season than
they did last.
Connie Mack recently told the writer
that he hoped that his team would win
the American bunting, and that John
McGraw would succeed in capturing the
Natioral League flag.
Il would like to meet the Giants in
another tussle for the worlds pennant,"
said he. Il was not in the best of
shape for the battle in 1905"
Now will Mr. MCCraw get a gait on
and accommodate Connie?
McGraw and some of his admirers
have won the winter league pennant
for the Giants. This is a cruel in
fringement of the Cincinnati patent.
Cincinnati has won the icicle pennant
ever since the Pork City has been in
the league. and MCGraw is certainly
treading on Griffs toes.

Eastern League Season
Calls for 154 Games

NEW YORK. Feb. 13.-The first of the
baseball schedules for the season Of
1911 appeared when President Edward
II. Barrow announced the official dates
of the Eastern League. A hundred and
fifty-four games will be crowded in be-
tween April 20, when the season opens,
and September "a, the day another pen
nant race will close.
The same number of games was
played last year, and hardly proved
long enough to satisfy the enthusiastic
fans, who were aroused by the keen
fight for the championship between
Rochester and Newark. The organiZa-
ton, which is seeking a higher classif1-
cation, has shown that interest can be
maintained in the Eastern League as
well as in the major leagues during a
pennant fight of 154 games.

$20,00O Purse For
 Wolgasl- -McF arland
Attractive Offer Made to Crack Boxers For Match
 January

The new year holds forth golden
 spoon to Ad Wolgast and Packey Me
 Farland. The tid bit is in the form
 of $20,000 purse offered to these
 boxers by James Coffroth, the San
 Francisco fight promoter, for a twen-
 ty-round bout to be held in the big
 Pacific coast city on Jan. l.
 Doc Krone of Chicago is Coffroth' s
 representative in the deal and he Is
 seeking Tom Jones with the object
 of obtaining Ad Wolgast's consent to the match. Emil Thury, manager of
 Mcfarland. has consented to the of- fer, but the hitch over the proposed
 meeting lies at Wolgasts door.
 Despite all of Wolgast's bombastlc threats to show up Packey'-what- ever that may mean-he is afraid to meet the stOckyards champion. Ad has declared time and again "tha Mcfarland is boxer and not fight er," and yet on every possible occas- ion, except the Milwaukee fiasco, he has side-stepped a meeting with the ed that he was glad the bout was prevented by saying, 'I made mis- take to meet Mcfarland, weigh in al l3 o'clock day of the battle, but l never will again..
 And Ad has been true to his word. Packey is willing to meet Wolgasl under the conditions of the Milwaukee | match, but the champion refuses the proposition and holds out for 133 | pounds ringside. As Wolgast has de- clared that "Packey would be sof; chewing in twenty-round bout fight fans say that inasmuch as Pack l ey is willing to go the long route a distance he has not travelled in | the ring in many years, while Ad is l a tried campaigner at the game Wolgast ought to concede point and consent to meet Mcfarland at 135 mounds at 5 o'clock.

Giants Declare
 Connie Mack Had
 Much Better Club
Nathewson and Marquard Both Say Athletics Are Great Bunch of Hitters

The Athletics are great base ball teamS said Mathewson, as he started for the dressing room Thurs day to congratulate Connie Mack. They played better baseball. but this attribute to the experience they gained in the worlds series last year.
 Our boys put up a game fight, and there would have been a lot of trouble had they hit the ball as be- lieve they are capable of.
 f'But at that. it was mighty hard getting, hits off the brand of pitch ing Bender. Plank and Coombs serv- ed All three are great pitchers"
 The best team won," said Rube Marquard.
 ''The Athletics beat us in every de- partment of the game. We never ing as Bender and those other fel- lows hurled at us. They seemed tc have guessed just what we couldn't hit.
 T don't think it was a batting slump; it simply was. a case of go- ing against better pitching than we were called upon to bat against in the National league"
 Connie Mack's combination was too much for us," said Chief Meyers They can hit and field and have three pitchers that know how to fool the best of us. They beat us fairly, play ing better ball in the four games we IoeS. .I surely thought we would gather the big end of the purse afte, winning on Wednesday. But this only made the Athletics fight harder They played a wonderful game yes. , terday"

 TO HEAVY HARTFORD TEAM

 "In the midst of a slow, steady drizzle the Hartford and Bridgeport high school elevens~ played an un-r usually exciting and interesting game yesterday afternoon at Trinity Field, the Hartford High School winning Dy the score of 19 to 0.

Brown Favorite Over Harvard But Yale Expects to
 Slaughter Colgate
Especial from United Press,

New Haven, Oct. 28-Yale is confi- dent of defeating the Colgate football eleven, this afternoon. Captain Howe will not start the game, his heavy cold in the head continuing to give him unusual trouble. Merritt, Foss
 and Strout will probably be given a
 chance to play quarterback in place of
 Howe. Walter Camp, Jr., may be seen
 at fullback during, the game.

 Saturday, Brown comes here NOvem-
 Der II. Already in a quiet way the
 Yale eleven is being pointed for the
 Brown game.
 Boston, Oct. 2S-As fit a looking
 bunch of gridiron warriors as ever in- tended to invade the stadium at Sol- diers' Field and try to take the scalp of John Harvard, reached here today at 10 o'clock. It was the Brown
 University team, the first Brown Uni- versity team in the history of the two institutions to be played a favorite
 against the Crimson. Most of the
 money was at even figures. Some
 was at to 4. There are some con- ditional bets, and if it rains Brown will be to favorite.
 The game was scheduled for 5 o'clock. Nearly every tier on the sides of the great amphitheatre were | filled by 2:30.
 Captain Sprackling will be at quar- | ter for Brown, and it will be on him ] that the Providence bear squad will depend not only for running the team | but for possible field goal. Coach Haughton, of Harvard is sending in 1 his best lineup first. Many of them have never had a real test against a 1 first class opponent. The Brown team | Is a veteran line from end to end. | Hartford, Oct. 2S-The football championship of Connecticut, except 1 ing Yale, will be decided here, this l afternoon, in the game between Trim 1 ity and Wesleyan.
