TWENTY YEARS ON THE CINDER PATH
BY JOHN D. NOLAN.
NUMBER 10.

his wife were to go direct to the
track later; and it was a happy and
confident party that assembled there
and drank success to Burrell in good
old port, and the hope that he might
demOllsh the record of Frank Hart,
the colored champion. The aunt had
a hamper packed with food and drink
sufficient to- feed a dozen marines for
a week. and declared emphatically
that want of food would not prevent
William from winning this TIM.
We arrived at the Garden about 10
o'clock p. m. and witnessed lively
and impressive scene. The Garden
was brilliantly lighted, and the band
was playing popular airs. while run
ners and their attendants were ar
irving and moving. about the tents,
and the great amphitheatre was pack
ed by nearly ten thousand interested
spectators.
At 115O o'clock the band ceased
playing and the contestants were call
ed to the track where they were
lined up, four abreast, fifty in all.
and presented an attractive picture
in their costumes of many coloIs. At
1905 the band struck up and they
were off on their long journey, with
George Cartwright, the English cham
pion, in the lead. This he retained for
fifty miles with Guerrero, Hegelman,
Albert and others pressing him close
~ AT 100 miles Hegelman led but
few hours later Albert went to the
front and was never headed, winning
with the announced record of CPL
miles. The fine condition IL which
ne finished the race led runners and
sporting men in general to give little
credence to the authenticity Of the
record
Both my proteges finished poorly in
this race, the game Hughes being
forced to succumb to an attack of
his old enemy, rheumatism, while Bur
rell quit cold, after running 100 miles
in "a hours, and being then i'll first
class condition.
Two days after the finish Of this
race read an announcement Of a
24-hour race for 500 to be held at
Hoboken, ~ j., and this 1 decided to
enter, and at once started to train for
it.

ONE TEAM BOTHERED
- OVER FIRST BASE.
American Leaguers Nearly All Have
Problem Solved.

just about one year ago, when the
big league teams were making prep
arations for their southern training
trips. from all parts of the American
leage circuit there came q wall be-
moaning the lack of quality among
the first basement There was but one
club New York, with the incompar-
able Chase, that went south intent on
the man who would cover the initial
sack and kept him there till the end
OF the season. Now there is only one
club in the league which has not some
definite plan about first base. Unless
their plans miscarry, they will be we'll
satisfied with the men now on the pro-
gramme.
The question today is, Will the re-
cruits discovered last season make
good again? Were they playing ahead
CT their real form last year. when sew
eral Of them were the marvels of the
league, or will the same trouble beset
the managers again?
Perhaps the two which will be most
watched and on whom the most de-
ponds are Del Gamer, of the Tigers,
and little Stuffy McInnis of the worlds
champions.
Neither of these players was a big
to fight it out for his job with the
Tigers, and the season was well ad-
vanced before the players had conf
dence in him. Then Jack Coomlbs broke
Gamers wrist and he was unable to
get back in the game till the season
was in it's final stages.
McInnis was only an understudy OF
the veteran Harry Davis last spring,
but when it came to jumping into the
game when time came for Davis to re-
tire, he did it and braced the cham
piOns so that they were able to win
out in the league race.
Then he, like Gamer, was a victim
of broken wrist, and was kept out
of the worlds series. If these two keep
up their past performances a big uues-
ton will he answered for Jennings and
Mack.
The Cleveland club is we'll protected
Ed Hornhorst is billed for the job, and
there is every reason to believe he will
fill the bill. If not, Davis can fall back
upon Lajoie, and last but not least
upon himself.
Even Bobby WaIlace's tailenders
have a recruit reputed to be a world
beaten in Kutina, the big first sacker
who graduated from the South Michi-
gan league last year. In 1911 the
Browns didn't go a month without
trying out a new first sacker. This
year they think this recruit will enc
all the trouble. The way he hit in the
post season series with the Browns
won place in the hearts Of the MOUND
City fans, and now they all swear by
him.
The Boston Red Sox was another
team that had trouble last year over I
first baseman. Now Jake Stahl ha!
signed up to return to the game ant

the Bostonians. If he can come
back there will be no need for Nc.

TIVE Pool TabIss-Death on English
msn--Negro Prodigy Quit Cold in
six-Day Race.
The year 1888 was noted for its
six-day races, and the record was
broken twice during that year. The
race of February to II, which was
won by Jim Albert of Philadelphia,
with a score of 621 miles, excited
great interest in New York and vi
cinity and fifty men entered for that
event.
Some six weeks previous to the start
of this race 1 was engaged by Jim
Kennedy, the noted New York sport
ing man, to train E. c. Moore of Phil
adelphia for this race, and the re-
manned with me for four weeks, when
he left for Atlantic City. n. j., to
finish it with Jim Albert, who was
training there. A few days after his
departure l received a visit from John
Hughes, the famous "Lepper," SO call
ed from his peculiar style of run
ming
Hughes had won one siX-day race
and was a good man, but he was at
times afflicted with muscular rheuma-
tism, and was possessed with the idea
that it was his duty to run every
Englishman to death who appeared
in the race with him. This he found
to be a hard contract, but on one oc-
casion he forced Charlie Rowell to
cover over 100 miles in "a hours;
Hughes running $50 smiles and de-
stroying the chances of both to win
the race.
Hughes was usually looked after by
his wife, and on that occasion he
wished me to assist her during the
race. II agreed to assist him and he

and found him trotting around two
pool tables.

across the street to the office of a

runner named William Burrell who

Having received no answer from the
Clippers in regard to game for to-

us that game, our first of the season,
but nevertheless they should give us a

Clippers to beat a few scrub teams,
such as the one they played last Sat
urday, and then claim the champion
ship at lis pounds, but when some
team which they know is too fast for
them comes out with challenge the
Clippers are not there. If they do not

ATTORNEY GENERAL
INVESTIGATES.
Testimony of Attell and Manager to
Be Reviewed-PossibIe Charge of
Perjury.

New York, Feb AT the meeting
of the state athletic commission today
Attorney General Carmody informed
the commissioners that his deputy in
this city would consider their request
for an investigation of the testimony
of Abe Attell and his manager, during
the recent hearing on the Attell-
Knockout Brown fight at the National
sporting club. As a result of this hear
ing Attel was convicted of taking
and barred for six months from box
in in this state. The commissioners
thought conflicting testimony adduced
at the hearing should be considered by
the attorney general, as it might pos
sibly involve a charge of perjury,
"Ty" Cobb, a Philadelphia feather
weight, was barred for ninety days
from boxing in this state by order Of
the commission. Cobb, it was charged,
failed to appear for a scheduled bout
with Patsy Kline at the Fordon Ath-
letic club.
Frank Dwyer, the old Chicago Ma
tional league pitcher, was appointed
boxing inspector in Geneva.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
A HEAVIER TONE.
Trading Too ListIess to Cause Ma.
terial Change in Prizes List.

New York, Feb. THE tone of the
stock market was heavier today but
trading was too hstless to effect sub
stantial changes in the level of prices.
Operations on the short side were re-
sumed and for time the attack on
the list met with a fair degree Of
success. Later the market reversed
itself and losses were largely made up.
The movement as whole was Of the
indecisiVe character to which traders
have become well accustomed during
recent weeks. Apparently the only
active force in the determination of
stock market movements at present is
the position Of the professional ele-
ment from day to day Outside par
ticipation remains extremely limited,
and the larger financial interests to
which the street looks for initiative
betray no inclination to take a part.
The disposition TO await developments
in Washington before making definite
commitments was more pronounced
today owing to the expectation of a
decision as TO the congressional in
vestigation of the Money trust" The
latest turn in the governments con-
test with the United States Steel cor
poration also was factor in the mar =
ket, the possibility of criminal pros
ecutiOn of officials Of the corporation
being utilized as Q reason for bear
pressure The general list was in
fluenced to great extent by the ac-
ton of United States Steel, which was
the heaviest Of the leaders. Republic
Steel issues also were weak A heavy
cut in the steel tariff, it was argued
would affect the independent COM
panies more severely than the steel
corporation.
