best jockey on the American turf today,
proved disappointment at the Laurel
meeting. He was first only eleven times,
second nine times and third ten times.
On the other hand, Butwell was first tif-

CHICAGO ELIMINATED.
Wisconsin Defeats Windy City
Eleven By Score of 80 to IL.

MADISON, Wis. November q
The University Of Chicago foot ball
team was eliminated from considera-
ton in the western collegiate conference
championship race by the University of
Wisconsin's speedy and powerful eleven
today, the score being Wisconsin, 80;
Chicago, IL.
The game was one Of the most spec
tacular ever played here, abounding in
forward passes. speedy end runs shifts,
tackles, back and other intricate forma-
tions. At such tactics Chicago had a
decided advantage, but this was more
than overcome by the powerful drive of
the Wisconsin backs in cross-bucks, and
by Gillette's ability to turn the Maroon
ends behind efficient interference.
1t was it's inability to gain by straight
foot ball that cost Chicago the heaviest
Three times the visitors were stopped
inside Wisconsin's 5-yard line, and on
four other occasions they lost the ball
on downs, when another foot would have
made the fourth down for them.

score of "a to 10 after playing bril-
liant game in the first half. The team
seemed to go to pieces in the third and
fourth periods, and the Williams play
ers scored three touchdowns on three
runs that averaged about fifty-eight
yards. The Cornell secondary defense
did not seem able to stop the attack after
Butler retired at the end of the first
half.
The second Williams touchdown was
made by Lewis, who broke through the
Cornell line on his own oS-yard line and
with fine interference ran past O'Connor

a time when a college ball player was not
given credit for having chance to make
good in the big leagues, but that time has
long since passed, and today there is not
a major league club which cannot num-
ber several collegians among its players.
Good infielderS are always scarce, and
the club which does not avail itself of
every chance to pick up a promising
player for these positions is making a
serious mistake. If Pendleton joins the
team in the spring it will probably be
with the understanding that he is not to
be farmed out and Will, therefore, be
carried until he wins regular position
on the team or shows that he is not quite
up to the standard.
/. Joe Woods record during the past sea-
son will mark hum the premier pitcher
of the American League, and yet Wood
is not near the pitcher that IS Walter
Johnson, and time will prove this asser-
ton. Last year was the first during the
six. seasons that Johnson has been a men,
ber of the locals that he has been with a
team which could hold it's own with it's
rivals in most every respect. For five
seasons johnson had the discouraging ex-
,erience Of being star pitcher on one
of the weakest teams in the league. He
lost game after game in which he per-
FORMED brilliantly, yet he never became
discoura ged. and the worse his support
extensively and defensively the better was
his pitching.
Even though Woods team last season
won the pennant by a healthy margin
Johnson would probably have gone
through the campaign with better rec
ord than Wood but r a spell of illness
which overlook him at a time when his
team was going at it's best.
There is no comparison in the motions
of the two pitching stars. Wood is under
a hard strain when he is pitching ball
game. There is jerk Of the elbow in
his delivery which is sure to shorten his
days as an effective pitcher. while his
disposition is not along the lines Of john
son, who is always cool and collected.
That long easy motion which Johnson
uses assures him the full use of his
pitching arm for years to come There
is no strain evident and the chances are
that he will be pitching ball in the ma
jors long after Wood is forgotten.
The Washington club would be acting
entirely within its rights if il would make
formal protest against the action OF sew
eral OF the other clubs in failing to live
up to the rule which calls for the playing
of double-header on the hrst day or
any scheduled series after the first trip.
This rule was violated on several occa-
sions last season to the financial and
probably artistic detriment of the Ma
tionals. The Philadelphia CLUB was guilty
on at least two occasions. Early IN the
year when a single game was scheduled
to be played at Shibe Park the game was
called off on account of wet grounds,
though the sun had been shining continu-
ously all day. On the last trip that the
Nationals made to Philadelphia single
game was scheduled for the nrst day,
though a double-header should have been
played. That game resulted in tie and
the next day a nineteen-inning game pre-
vented the playing OF more than onex In

Speaking of the value of fine field dogs
recalls the sale recently of the great
pointer, Manitoba Rap. the only one of
his breed that has ever succeeded in de-
feating the settlers in the national cham
pionship. just after Rap won the cham
pionship in 1909 his owner. Mr.. Johnson
of Manitoba, Canada, refused $1,000 for
him. but he was sold to party of Knox
vile, Tenn, sportsmen for 5000 Even
the latter sum is probably the highest
price ever paid for field dog in this
country. Mr.. Llewellin is said to have
refused .e1 200 in England for the great
setter, Count Wind'em. The offer was
made by Mr.. Moore of Philadelphia, and
it was reported at the time that he
aroused the ire of the well known Eng
lish breeder by saying in the letter con-
tanning the offer. Il do not know who
would be considered the greater fool, L

A good deal was said in this column
last winter about holding field trials
near Washington and several meetings
were held to consider the matter. Those
most active in the movement would
not consent TO anything less than a
first-class trial. and as existing condi-
tions could not assure this the idea
was temporarily abandoned. There
will probably be held later in the sea-
