SNOWSHOES WIN
NOVEL RACE

Caldwell. N. j., Feb. S.-A race to de-
termine the merits of Canadian snow
shoes compared with Norwegian
skis was run on Caldwell mountain to-
day and the snowshoes won. The con-
testants were Philip Rondeau and Ole
Roffang, both of whom work in a wood
choppers camp in the Iowland border
ing the upper Passaic river, few miles
west OF Caldwell.
The distance covered with fourteen
miles, four of which was practically all
down hill. six miles over level and four
miles up hill. Rondeau, with the snow
shoes, covered the distance in one hour
and twenty minutes and Roffand on
skis in one hour and twenty-seven
minutes.
The course led part of the way
through timber. partly over open fields
and partly over plowed land. 1t was
considered the severest kind of a test
to which the respective means of travel
could be put.

CH|CAGO SYNDICATE IS
TRYING TO PURCHASE
THE BROWNS
Transfer of st. Louis Club
May Be Made at Meet
ing Tuesday.

Indications are that all is not right
with the st. Louis baseball club in the
American league and when the mag
mates of that body gather here next
Tuesday for the annual spring meeting
there is likely to be a house cleaning
that will clear up the mystery that was
linked with the sale of the Browns in
December. The club afterwards re-
verified to Robert l. Hedges when for
some peculiar reason, the deal did not
go through. In the meantime it was
learned a syndicate of wealthy Chicago
men have both the inclination and
money to buy the st. Louis club next
week If 1T can still re procured.
IF the st. Louis club is still for sale
and the price named is correct / can
procure the money to buy 1T in twenty
minutes said the leader of this pro-
posed syndicate. Il have talked with
the men and they are willing. I will
put In much as any of them and
figure there'll be ten men in the deal
1t is our idea to put Jimmy Callahan
at the head of it Now have made no
overtures to Mr.. Hedges as yet, but /
know him very well and have heard
him say he wants to get out because
of poor health.

GIANTS TO SET
NEW FASHION

New York, Feb. S.-The New York
Nationals are planning to Introduce
something new in baseball uniforms
this season. 1t has always been the
custom in the National league for teams
to wear white or cream colored uni
forms at all home games, but Manager
McGraw has a new idea. a white uni
form with black perpendicular stripes,
black caps. black belt and black and
white stockings.
1t is not certain that this innovation
In baseball toggery will be permitted
by the league officials, but the Giant
management will make a formal re-
quest for permission at the meeting OF
the league here next week.
The uniform which the Giants will
wear on the road this season will also
be a new design. The suits will be
gray and black, with the perpendicular
stripes. The caps will be gray and the
belts black. with gray and black stock
ings.
Samples of the new suits are on ex-
hibition here and according to Mana
ger MeGraw are the most striking style
. that has been introduced among we'll
dressed ball players since the game be-
gan.

W0lGAST RISKS TITLE TONIGHT
BY FACING KNOCKOUT BROWN
Champions Opponent Has Put Over Half His Men to
Sleep-Weight Is 1873 Pounds Ringside.

AID Wolgast is counting the loss of his
lightweight championship tonight at
Philadelphia when he takes on KNOCK
OUT Brown, the toughest 1913 pound
boy the east has turned out in years
The conqueror OF Nelson has shown his
disregard for the most terrible punch
that has been shown in the ring in a
long time by coming out of a long re-
tirement and using this fellow Brown
as trial horse in his first fight, and
making the match at the lightweight
limit The little fellow will do 1913
pounds at the ringside, and should
Brown slip over that wallop which has
sent more than half of his opponents
to dreamland he will be champion of
the world when tomorrow's sun comes
up.
The above is not given as a predic-
ton that Brown is going to stop VOL
CAST in their six round bout before
Jack O'Brien's palatial new Philadel-
phia club, but merely as a statement
of what may happen. Wolgast is a
great fghter-one of the best boys of
his poundage the game has known He
has shown that knockout punches have
little terror for him, for he has been
fighting big boys and small boys, and
was on his feet when the allotted num-
Der of rounds have been fought, but
there is always first time for every
boxer to be counted out. and tonight
may be Wolgast's time to have ten
counted over him.
Who is this little fellow Brown? This
question one hears frequently about
Chicago. but if one were to ask this in
the east he would be marked down as
an fgnoramus of the worst sort A
sport might be forgiven for not know
ing who was the first president, but not
to know Knockout" Browns career

KLAUS STOPS LEWIS
IN The SIXTH ROUND
Pittsburg Fighter Outclass.
es Foe and Has Him
Helpless.

New York, Feb. S.-Frank Klaus. the
Pittsburg middleweight, boosted his
stock with local fight fans last night
by stopping Willie Lewis in six rounds
al the Farmont club.
Klaus put up whirlwind fight all
the way, paying but little attention to
Lewis best blows and waIloping away
continually. Lewis received a lot of
hard punishment and was sent to the
moor IN the sixth round. He managed to
get up, but went down again The
referee then stopped the bout to save
Willie needless punishment.
Klaus showed his mettle in the first
round and never let up He had Lewis
continually doubled up. The latter kept
at it bravely enough. but he was help
less. The best blows he could land
seemed to have no effect on the Smoky
City aspirant.

FOOTBALL SPY
CAUSES SPLIT

Omaha. Feb. S.-President A. Ross
Hill of Missouri university refused to
permit a game to be scheduled with
Iowa. according to report, because of
evidence presented to him that Iowa
last fall sent a spy to watch open
practice of the Missouri team, who took
notes of the plays from the side lines,
stole the signals and later offered to
sell these signals to another school on
the Missouri schedule.
Diagrams of the plays were drawn
by this man, who, it is alleged, is an
assistant coach of Iowa, were part of
the evidence presented to President
Hill. Missouris refusal to permit
Iowa's negro tackle, Alexander, to take
part had no connection with the can
ceiling of the fixture, according to the
story. which calls on Missouri to de-
eide its position.

Guild be the height of disgrace.

would be the height of disgrace
Brown comes by his nom de ring of
Knockout" honestly. He has eighty
two fights. according to the record
books, and of this number forty-two
have been won by the K. o. route. Nine
of Browns foes have failed to last
through the first round. while fourteen
have been slowed away inside of two
rounds. In thirty-five of his contests
he has been given the decision by the
referee or has gained the popular YER
diet Four contests have been draws,
and in only one is he credited with de-
feat. The only fighter who has the
honor of besting Brown is Pal Moore,
who was given the popular decision
in ten round go in New York A
referee. however, has yet to hold I'D
the hand of a Brown opponent in to-
ken of defeat for the knockout person.
Among Browns victims is Tommy
Murphy, the pride of Harlem" who
gave Wolgast a sound drubbing in a
six round no decision bout in Pitts
burg in 1909
The above figures give the impress
sion that Brown is real fighter He
meets another born scrapper tonight
and real treat should be offered the
fortunate Quaker City fans who have
the opportunity of seeing the go. That
the bout will go the limit is the best
hazard on the outcome, still the chance
remains that Wolgast may snap that
bad arm again, run into one of Browns
sleep producers and lose his champion
ship.
Reports from Philadelphia last night
We're to the effect that both boys were
we'll inside the weight limit. The
champion stepped on the slaces ir

Brown in New York weighed 1871.
