ROSTRUM MEDIUM
FOR A BIG KILLING
At PIMLlCO RACES
New York Clique Gives Bet
ting Ring a Jolt to
Remember.

BALTIMORE, Nd, May 9.-The
best thing of the meeting SO far
went over in the last event yester-
day, and more money was taken out
of the ring on that race than on all
the rest of the program at Pimlico. It
was an old-fashioned killing, with every
thing ribbed up and every angie prop
erly attended to.
Rostrum was the medium OF the
plunge, and he won from start to finish.

| A slick New York clique seemed To
have the betting privileges here. and
they gave the ring jolt 1t VIII not

the odds were chalked up was A,ooo
to $500 in Tom Shaw's book, and then
| the money was fixed at every book in
the ring until the odds were pounded
| down from to to 31z to ]: The
gentlemen never did stop betting as
long as they could find anybody to take
| the money.
The cross country sharps were sorely
disappointed in the Potomac Steeple-
chase. which brought together Algie
They had hoped that thic race would
decide which was the best jumper at
the track, but Algie fell the second time
around the field at the hoodoo jump
in front of the grandstand. and this left
Dinl.a Ken to go on and win as he
pleased.
Five thousand dollars seems to be
big price for a jumper with the present
outlook for racing, and the sale created
quite a breeze OF excitement among the
steeplechase sharps. Nobody could rec-
ollect that such a price had ever been
paid for jumper in this country. ivan

day, coming with a rattle at the end,

Cunningham Starts Today
AS Tigers Football Coach

Logan Cunningham. of Washington,
today takes up his duties as coach Of
the Princeton football team. Predic-
ton that Cunningham would get this
honor. which is the highest in Tiger
football, was made in these columns
several weeks ago. A. MacGregor has
been named assistant coach.
Cunningham played two years at
halfback and coached the freshman
team last fall to the point of defeat
ing the Yale freshmen after a hard
game MacGregor is a member of the
present senior class. He played on
the squad of 1909 and showed up in
great form last fall at tackle. Prob
ably his best game was played against
Dartmouth, when he was handicapped
with a broken hand. MacSregor was
the choice of at least one writer for
the All-American.

Good Marathoners.

Judging by the list of entries, which
are published today for the first time
the Intercity Marathon, from Laurel
to the Munsey building on Saturday
should furnish the finest sort of sport
of the long distance runners.
In the past there nave been num-
Der of entrants who have been prac'
tically overshadowed by the other con-
testants, and have been forced to droT
out before the greater part Of the
course has been covered. This year
the situation is different.
For nearly two months the organ
izations of this city which are repre-
sented on the list have been conduct
ing a course of systematic training
and only those who nave shown them
selves to be ready have been allowed
to enter The same is reported to be
true in Baltimore.
Such being the case that should be
some race which ends in front Of the
Munsey building about 1890 on Satur'

Cunningham coach.

Washingtonians are to play most i'm

When John Field was appointed head
coach at Yale, Washington was signally
honored, but now comes the announce
ment that Logan Cunningham has
finally been named for a similar posi-
ton at Princeton.
Several weeks ago 1 said that Cum
ningham was the Tigers choice, but
SO many complications stood in the way
that fer a while 1t appeared as though
a change would be necessary. The
whole trouble was over the amount of
power. to be given the captain, field
coaches and sootball committee.
This has now been settled satisfact-
torily and the unique situation Of Yale
and Princeton teams, both coached by
Washingtonians. will be presented next

Less baseball.

Those who are looking for cause tor
the annual disturbances in the realm OF
amateur baseball in this city shortly
after the opening of each successive
season, should simply reflect upon the
number of teams in existence in wash
ington, and the batch of players that
are necessary to fill in.
While general participation in base
bali is most desirable it would seem
that the leagues have now grown so
large that they have simply exhausted
the supply of players.
However, I believe that President
Young, Secretary Shurtleff and the rest
will clear up the present troubles, and
then it will be comparatively easy sail
ing, although lesser number OF leagues
playing each day could not but add to
the quality of ball on the fields OF the
Capital.

Chevy Chase Tennis
Best of Tournament

Those interested in rhe tennis tourney
at Chevy Chase who did not brave the
weather yesterday 10 see the matches,
are sorry today because some of the
fastest and most interesting matches of
the tourney were played
The feature match was that between
II. II. Micou and D. d. Morgan in the
second round of the mems singles
handicap. the former winning rs, 4-S
and 12-1O. Micou had handicaps which
gave him fifteen points every second
game. and the advantage made the
players about equal. in the last set, the
deciding one, after the score had see
sawed, Micou finally managed to land
the last two games and the match.
The Washington times., 1911-05-09
Those leaders.

In watching the play of the leaders In
the two major leagues one is struck by
the big part being played by the young
pitchers of both clubs.
While George Mullin has been a most
valuable man, much of the best work
for Detroit is being done by Lively. La
fitte, and Covington. while the Philhes
are getting good results most of the
time when Alexander. Chalmers, or
Brennan perform

would not be at all surprised should
there be some complication at Cleve-
land on Sunday when the Maps and
New York Highlanders attempt the
first game Of professional baseball in
Ohio.
Although Governor Harmon allowed
the measure to become a law without
his signature there may be some Of
fetal who will feel called upon to be-
come active on the proposition with
the result that some sort of a test
case will have to be made.
Judging by the vote the people OF
Ohio are ready for Sunday baseball, in
which case the Maps should be allowed
to go ahead and play all games

the one with the Nationals which has
been set for one week from next Sun

A FAIR EXCHANGE.

President Taft's message. submit
ting to congress the tariff reciprocity
agreement with Canada, is the first
step toward much needed reform in
the tariff laws Of this country. Can
ada and the United States are so
closely associated that there is no
reason why we should~not be on the
most intimate terms. 1t is possible
that some day Canada will be a
part of the United states, but that is
not a matter for consideration at this
time. The fact that only an mag
mary line separates us from the
Dominion, and the fact that we have
a great many things that the Canad-
ians need, while the Canadians have
much that Is of value TO us is am
pie reason for a most liberal arrange
ment between the two governments
for an interchange of commerce,
Many products of Canada, which
have hitherto been practically barred
from this country, are now placed
on the free list so that the people
here may reap the advantage of the
low prices that are bound to result.
At the same time the Canadian mar
kets are thrown open to many things
we manufacture, but which had been
practically prohibited from the tariff
law of the Dominion thus helping
our manufacturers.
The agreement has been submit
ted to congress and to the Domin-
ion parliament in ottawa, at the
same time. 1t is to be hoped that
both bodies will take favorable ac-
ton on 1t and that this opening
wedge for a closer relationship be-
tween this country and Canada will
be ratified.

SMITH STREET SIDEWALKS.

One of the greatest improvements
needed in Perth Amboy at the pres
ent time Is sidewalks on Smith
street, especially between State
street and the Central railroad sta
ton. This is a comparatively small
matter a%nd-~could be accomplished
without cost to the city. We cannot
understand why this Improvement
is neglected.
Let the city officials, In a body.
walk from State street to the Central
station during this muddy weather,
and see how many times they are
forced to step off of the narrow flag
stones into the deep mud on either
side to let other parties pass. a
four foot nag is ridiculous in the
.eks OF psopae ,sse snsg
rsfds~afks On 5stI sldes Of Smith
street, n side leading to the post
office and the other to the station.
To meet two people walking abreast
means 10 either stand still on the
edge until they pass, or wade out
into the mud.
We have become so accustomed to
this that it fails to impress us as it
does a stranger who has just arrived
in the city. The fact that some of
the property is not improved is all
the more reason why the sidewalks
should be made p~assable. People
have to walk past open lots, Just as
much rs where there are buildings
and the mud is just as deep in one
place as it is in another. BY al
means put the Smith street side.

be paved from the building line al
the way to the curb. The condi
ton is a disgrace as it now exists.

AFTER THE POUND NETS.

The hook and line fishermen of
Newark and vicinity, are getting
busyras usual, to wait upon the
legislature in an effort to have the
pound nets abolished along the coast
and in the bays. These sportsmen
take a very selfish view of the mat
ter. They argue that because hum
dreds of fishermen make a living by
supplying thousands of people with
good fish, and in doing so, inter
fere somewhat with the sport of hook
and line fishing, that theN thousands
of people should go without fish and
that the fishermen should let their
families starve or seek other oocupa-
tion in order that the Sports" may
enjoy themselves for a few weeks
during the summer.
II the Legislators want to get an
idea OF what the pond net ASKING

trip along the south shore of the
Raritan bay. visiting such places as
Bedford and Keansburg and 9 for
themselves how the industry is car
ried ON. 1t is hard to understand
how the marketa would be suaicieatly
supplied with the fish If the pond
nets were abolished, The legisla-
tors would do well to go slow in any
action that is proposed along this
line.
