good record. They met down in Hanip-
shire on cold January day. There was
soon an argument whether the battle
should not be given to Mendoza on a
foul, for HUMPHREYS beaten to the ropes
by Mendoza, was at the latter's mercy
when HUMPHREYS second jumped forward
and caught a smashing blow on his own
arm. The referee held that the second
was justified, as HUMPHREYS must be con-
sidered as a knocked-dOwn man. So the
fight went on. Mendoza later slipped on
the wet boards and was SO badly hurt he
could not continue.
The men met again the following year.
Mendoza stopped the others rushes and
had HUMPHREYS in very bad way In
forty minutes HUMPHREYS had enough OF
it, and after being given one warning for
going down without being hit was ruled
out after repeating.

INDOOR BASE BALL

For the first time in eleven years a
league game Of indoor base ball was
played in this city Saturday night, Y. NJ.
c. A. beating Ingram in the latter's gym

game in the Washington City League.
The game was just as exciting as if it
was played on a regular diamond on a
summers day-in fact, there were so many
exciting plays and they came so fast that
it was a hard matter to record them.
Most every ball hit by either side was a
hit, and for a man to be charged with an
head play. In this respect Ingram was
charged up with five miscues, Miller being
the worst offender. with two.
Unusually good team work marked the
playing of both mines, although it was the
first time most of the players had ever
played the game Y NJ c. A. put up the
best game in this respect, but this team
has been practicing hard for some time.
Y. NJ. G. A. got away to a good start by
scoring three runs in the opening inning.
Ingram scored pair in the same session
and went into the lead in the following
round with two more 1t was nip and

CLUB OF VETERANS
Will Be Formed in England to De-
velop Athletic Talent.

NEW YORK, December Through the
efforts Of A. B. George. who was well
known on this side of the water some
years ago. an advisory club has been
formed in England. and the plan is that
1t shall be made up of veteran athletes
belonging to the different departments or
track and field athletics. In explaining
the objects of the club George said that
its aims would be the seeking of new
athletic talent and to hold meetings for
the purpose of discussing various topics
connected with the general training or
the athlete. There was no blinking at
the fact. he said, that England had fallen
behind in athletics and II needed some
heroic methods TO arouse the country to
the meaning OF the situation. They
should try to keep up with the times and
with the progress made by other coun-
tries. American athletes, he points out,
had improved vastly since the first Olym-
pic revival in 1895. and especially I'm the
events in which they We're then weak.

GRIND IS UNDER WAY
Fifteen Teams Entered in
Madison Square
Contest.

NEW YORK. December 11-Fifteen
teams, including star bicycle riders OF
seven countries, started last night in
Madison Square Garden on a grind for
six days-or 142 hours, to be exact.
There are seventeen eastern riders in
this years lineup, and four from San
Francisco. A conspicuous omission in
the entries is the name of Walter Rutt,
the German sprinter.
In his place Willie Lorenz, the present
sprint champion of Germany. has come
and will have as mate Karl Saldow of
Germany. This pair won the recent in
ternational six-day race in Berlin, and
the team will be one of those most close
ly watched in the present contest
The American sprint champion, Frank
Kramer of East Orange, N j., and
James Moran of Chelsea, Mass, make
up one Of the favorite teams.
Moran. with Eddie Root of New York,
formed the winning team of last years
race, but Kramer never negotiated the
six-day grind. He entered six-day con-
test once before, but withdrew after a
few hours.
Jackie Clarke. the Australian title hold
er, will be paired with Joe Fogler of
Brooklyn. While the three teams men
toned are conspicuous. every man in the
contest boasts great speed and endur-
ance and the upsets which are possible
in such long exhibition prohibit much
picking Of favoriteS.

Up at Pennsylvania there is a great deal
of adverse criticism aroused by the failure
of Walter Camp to put Roy Mercer. the
QuakerS' fullback. on his All-American
eleven. The Red and Blue adherents
think that their man was in class by
not without some reason. Mercer showed
himself to be one of the greatest ground
gaining halfbacks in the country during
the latter part of the season, but was
probably kept off the honor eleven by the
poor showing made by his team as a
whole. Against both Michigan and Cor
nell. PENIS two biggest games, Mercer

ing some of the best and most consistent
work of any of the backs His work dur
that when canvass of the All-American
selections was made it was found that
twenty-three out of twenty-five of the
critics making the choices had chosen
the Pennsylvania man for fullback.
Mike Murphy will again train the
American Olympic team. That alone
should preSage another American vic
tory, because of all the men conditioning
athletes in the world it is probable that
Murphy stands in a class by himself. The
Pennsylvania man undoubtedly knows
more about the track game than does
any other man who has charge of that
branch of athletics. For the last two
O!ympics Murphy has been the man to
send the Red. White and Blue athletes
into the races, and they have never failed
to bring away the greatest number of vic
tories having made practically a clean
sweep in both the previous Olympic
games. and while there is great deal OF
bemoaning of the fact that there are no
really capable men to send over this
season for some of the events, 1T is a
safe bet that Murphy will develop men
for every contest who will make anybody
who wins from them go in record time.
While it was reported that Collifower
would not start in the game tonight be-
tween Georgetown and the Baltimore
Medical School, such is not the case. and
he will be sent in, according to the
coach. who said that. while his guard had
