Of speculation, his bank took over the

Consolidated Gas Companies.
Through a venture in ogden gas he
was interested in the consolidation Of
the various gas companies in the city.
He operated IN the Illinois tunnel prof.
ect and was concerned in gas enter
priseS at Peoria and Akron, as well as
several electric systems, other banks
mines, quarries and publishing enter
prise.
His forethought brought him safely
through the panic OF 1893. his banks
were filled with gold during these free
silver times and were sound, while
others went to pieces.
beginning Of the End.
WaIsh's losing fight began when he
secured control of the quarries of the
town of Bedford. where he built a bank
and acquired ownership of the little
railroad. His influence in Washington
resulted in Bedford stone being used in
many federal buildings. But the rail-
roads charged too much to carry the
stone, he thought, and the battle began.
He took hold Of the Southern Indiana
railway, and extended it so as to reach
his Quarries and coal fields in Indiana
The 'impudence" of this move made the
great trunk lines his foe They refused
to give him outlets for his Indiana traf-
fic. AS a last resource he tried to build
the road into Chicago The task was
too great for his means

Examination Of the books showed that
Walsh had made a false report to the
controller and that he had misapplied
about 100000 of the banks funds to
stave off collapse Of his lettering en-
terprises- This amount had gone TO
Walsh's railroads, il was commended,
through his personal account. Much OF
it was raised through prOmissory notes

Walsh was placed on trial in NOvem-
Der, 1907, on indictments with l82
counts, involving q maximum penalty OF

During this time he was out on bail
Finally the United states supreme court
confirmed his conviction on January II,

Ever since then his friends have
fought hard for his pardon. Before
Walsh entered prison he signed over

POLO PONIES
BRED HERE

Breeder and Sportsman Quite an
interest is being taken in the breed
ing of polo ponies in the Hawaiian
Islands. There are four very pros
porous polo clubs there, two are ~
Honolulu, one has for its membership
the United States cavalry officers.
Then there is a club at Maui and ar
other at Kauai. This makes the
games exceedingly interesting, as the
rivalry between these clubs is keen.
The ponies are bred on the islands,
and polo experts who have seen them
declare they are far stronger and
quicker and have more stamina than
any bred in the United States. The
foundation stock was laid many
years ago, when a score or more Of
thoroughbreds were brought there,
and these were crossed with saddle
ponies, also brought from America
and Australia. There are several
places where these ponies are exclu-
sively bred, the most notable being
that on the Parker ranch, Hilo, under
the supervision of that prominent
horseman A. w. Carter, Hawaii. This
breeder has used great judgment in
the selection of his mares, and has
bred most of them to the stallion Eas-
terrible, by Lisbon, out of yesterday.
He has number of capable horsemen
training polo ponies throughout the
year, and can sell every pony as soon
as it is fit. These ponies run wild On

ker ranch until taken up to be han

ROO7ER STILL
TOO ROUGH

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, November Is.
The warning that the game of foot,
bah is still on probation has been
sounded several times this season by
the Harvard authorities, and some
significance is attached therefore 10
this statement, which appears in the
alumni bulletin; Graduates should
know that the game of football is
once more under keen scrutiny. The
injuries this season have been more
serious than they have been in any
other years since the rules were re-
vised, This statement applies not
only to Cambridge but also to New
Haven and other places where foot
ball is played. There is no satisfac-
tory explanation for the increase IN
the hospital list, it may be merely
luck At any rate the demand for
some further revision of the rules
which will reduce again the chance
of serious injuries to the players is
growing.

THE RIVERS
CONLEY DRAW

LOS ANGELES, November 1S.-joe
Rivers of this city and frankie Con-
ley of Kenosha, Wis, fought twenty
fast rounds to a draw at Vernon arena
this afternoon. Referee Eyton's de-
cision was cheered and Kissed inter
mittently for several minutes but In
the end it was accepted as the only
possible one by majority of the five
thousand or more fans present.
Conley matched his gameness and
ability for assimilating punishment
against the cleverness and reputed
strength of Rivers, and from the out
set tried to rush the local boy off his
feet. With lowered head and thrash
ing arms, he met Rivers in the latter's
corner at the opening of every rounG.
Then ensued a series OF rallies in
which the pair traded punch for
punch, Rivers lefts and rights for the
jaw striking regularly on Conley S
glove-protected face, and Conley S
swings for the body landing with few
exceptions on Rivers elbows. Occa-
sionally, when the lighting became
particularly fierce, each landed clean
blows, but neither scored a clean
knockdown during the entire twenty
rounds.
Rivers, by diligent use of straight
left, opened up an old cut on Conley' s
eye in the early rounds. In these
rounds he had a slight lead, but from
the twelfth round on Conley's aggres-
siyeness fully evened this up.
The winner was to have been
matched with Abe Attell for the
featherweight championship here Jan
uary /.
The semi-wind-up was a tenround
set-to between Eddie Dennis of San
Francisco and Louis Hahn. After the
full limit of fast milling Referee Rey-
nolds declared the scrap a draw. In
the fourth Dennis put his opponent
down for the count of five.

Cream of Athletes
Will Gather in San
Francisco in 1915

SAN FRANCISCO, November 2l.-
The initial move toward making the
athletic program for the Panama-Pa-
cific International Exposition the
greatest attraction in the history of
American sports was announced from
New York yesterday in the decision
of the Amateur Athletic Union to con-
duct all of the national championships
in this city during 1915. Word to this
effect was received by local officials
from George James, the Pacific Asso-
citation delegate, who is attending the
twenty-fourth annual meeting of the
Amateur Athletic Union. No mention
is made of the award for 1912, and it
is the first time in the history Of the
governing body that the champion
ships have been scheduled so far in
advance
Although it was confidently expect
ed that San Francisco would have the
1915 track field championship, no
thought was given the prospect of OBJ
tanning the entire list of events In the
series which annually include the fore
most athletes of the land. Besides the
regular junior and senior track and
field meet, this city will witness the
contest for honors in swimming, wrest-
ling, boxing, basketball, handball,
gymnastics, skating snd tugof-war.
The all-round track and field cham
pionships, which of recent years have
proved such an important factor In
the amateur athletic world, will also
be held here. For the past two years
they have been conducted in Chicago,
this being the first attempt to bring
the big event away from New York.
In view of the showing made by the
Western athletes at Chicago, it is not
surprising that California, which af-
forded a winner at the last two cham.
pionship meetings, should earn the dis
tinction of handling this big affair.
The action of the Amateur Athletic
Union officials, in assisting the 1915
celebration with such a formidable
card, is the first decision in the his
tory of athletics whereby San Fran
cisco has been favored with an Amer
lean championship meeting other
than boxing. In 1905 the national
boxing championships were held here
at the Mechanics Pavilion under the

land was the scene of the national
wrestling championships last year,
when the Multnomah Athletic Club ar
ranged the mat events. Portland in
1905 witnessed the junior and senior
track and field championships during
the Lewis and Clark Exposition, while
again in 1909 Seattle was favored with
the American meeting at the time of
the Alaska-Yukon Exposition.
In deciding the national swimming,
basketball and gymnastic champion
ships, the representative athletes of
the United States have never assem-
bled west of Chicago. The final games
in the national basketball tournament
were played in Chicago and vicinity
last year, and following the conclusion
of a successful season. this city was
visited by the winning team from
Portage, Wis
1t is now up to San Francisco TO get
busy and show the world that the
Amateur Athletic Union was justified
in making the announcement that
reached here yesterday. Next year the
championship will probably be held in
the East, following the Olympic games
at Stockholm. In 1913 and 1914 other
cities in the United States will foster
the championships. At all three meet
ings this city should be we'll repre-.
scented, and if the California athletes
are to be match for the best in the
world, they must be given an oppor-
tunity to compete with the pick of the
countrys performers,
Many of the runners and jumpers
and those in other branches of sport
who are annexing points for California
today will not be eligible aspirants in
1915. 1t will take a new school to up
hold the honor of the Far West on
that occasion, and every opportunity
should now be offered the growing
athletes. Local competitors will first
come to the front this spring, when
the tryouts for the American team to
the Olympic games in Sweden will be
held here. At the Olympiad across
the Atlantic notice of the 1915 attrac-
ton will be given to the athletes OF
the world, and then must follow the
Olympic games in San Francisco for
1915.
