POLO IS PLAYED
ATFORT BLISS MEET

With a score OF six to one. the
Fourth cavalry polo team won from the
felowjackets of the ToItec club in the
polo game at Fort Bliss Sunday after
noon. which was the best game Of polo
that has been played so far this season.
The score was smaller. and the playing
faster.
The Yellowjackets held the cavalry
men down in three of the five periods
played. but in the second and fourth
periods the soldiers broke away and
drove three goals in each. The Yellow
jackets are beginning to make a bet
ter showing than heretofore and with
continued practice may yet make the
troopers look to their laurels. The Vel
lowjackets' single score was made by
Joe Warrington in the third period with
a brilliant long drive. The lineup of the
teams in Sundays game was: Fourth
cavalry. Lieuts. Cullum. Cheney. Mil
ton and SerEt. DeHaven.

". G. Yanke. the promoter and book
maker long prominent at the JUarez
track. has left NfOr Charleston. s. c.,
and thereby hangs a tale Some time
back when the judges of the race track
started to rule of and suspend several
top notch riders, little knots OF men
who frequent the race track could be
noticed discussing in subdued tones the
actions and probable causes OF the au-
thOrities- Once or twice the name OF
Hanke was heard But no matter how
much crOOkedneSS has happened or how
many jockeys were ruled off. 1t is alto
gether the fault Of the Jockey club,
because they are SO hOggiSh as to their
propeQsities in trying TO force a few
bookHakers to pay the entirely dis
prOpOrtiOnate sum Of $500 to $500 per
day for the privilege Of doing business
Now it stands to reason that book
makers are not any bigger fools than
ordinary business men, and they ma
tUrally got together and formed some
means OF dividing the expenses sitting
competition, shortening the ODDS ana
protecting themselves in general.
w ell Mr.. 1anke merely bet on his
horses when he thought they could win,
and laid his odds against the rest Of
the field. Half the time he was sue
cessful. If he didn't think they could
win, then he laid against his own and
often kept the money which proved his
judgment good. All his actions merely
show good ring management. and il
- al the Aau1L OF the aSSOCla ton to
permit a horse owner 10 book or a
bOOkmaker to own horses.
That is one reason that causes the
exceedingly bad OdOr, another is to ex-
pect them to pay the entire amount of
purses that the horses race for. and
that is a powerful reason. It looks
like these hard hooters wont stand for
Xanke because he can protect himself
and nothing else
He cussed the whole gang out on the
steps OF the St Regis not long ago and
none Of them cape back with anything
because they know he is right The
writer thinks ne is on the level because
he does things openly and Clearly. but
they, the powers that be. ought NOT TO
permit any one to book and own
horses too.
It is the writer's purpose not to IN
hold gambling in any form, but TO show
what the public is up against in buck
ing the game across the river and also
angle
Yanke has been in the position of
angel for the Juarez Jockey club &C.
cOrding to the men who have been on
the inside looking out. YANKEES S12
900, It is declared, was all that saved

racing last winter, and his frequent
contributions to the kitty have kept
things up and doing across the river
since that time. the wise rail birds
say.
The Mexican race track gambling in
SttuuOn was to make FL PasO the
aires in the country. it was TO bring
a million dollar hotel to FL PasO'-
Matt VIM and his friends were going
TO build it right away, you will recall
and II was to result in the erection Of
a costly clubhouse at the Juare7
track" as costly and as fine as the
great hotel that Fl PasO was to get.
This great boon" has failed to keep
to schedule
There are no permanent profits in
swapping dollars among the profess
siOnal race gamblers who compose the
much tOuted colony OF eastern mil
ionaires'-sVhO stay in the South FL
Paso street rOoming houses because the
air IS better than at the hotels.
II you want to see the blOOded fol-
lowers OF the game who were adver-
tised as coming to FL PasO in private
cars. look into any Of the cheap
restaurants at meal time. or observe
them picking their teeth on the down
town street corners just after dark.
1t is, in fact a case Of dog eat dog"
across the river and the big dog take
EN- all"
At the time ". G. Yanke was ordered
to discontinue his bOOkmaking opera
San Francisco Post sent his paper the
following:
''Juarez. Mex. Jan. 1s.-At a con-
ference here today between W. G.
4anke and n J. VIM. manager Of the
Juarez track. it was suggested by the
latter that Yanke discontinue his book
making operations in the future.
Yanke saw the point and win cease
operating.
''Yanke is the owner OF large stable
of horses. and he has provided winners
so frequently that il is considered much
to the interest OF the sport that he dis
continue his operations.
Manager VIM explained the Situa-
ton to Yanke thoroughly, and the lat
ter acquiesced to the ruling. All sorts
of rumors have been afOat regarding
YANKEES operations. Invariably when
a horse of his wins a race. he is cred
tied with winning a fortune. 1t has
even been suggested that he had some
thing on the JuareZ game. and II is
thought here that the sport viii be
much more satisfactory If he confines
his attention entirely to the running
Of his stable"
Not long after this episode. Yanke
took all his horses and went east with

CY Y0UNG's MARX
IS NOT EQUALED
He and Willie Keller Have
Peculiar TOwn-tO-TOwn
Experiences.

It is hard to find in baseball a case
parallel to that of old Cy Young's. not
in Young's length Of service, but in
the fact he pitched for a major league
club in one city. drifted away from
that city for years and then returned
as a pitcher for the rival league club
Of the same city. Thus Young and Bos-
ton established a case not quite UNIQUE
but rare
willie Keller underwent a like ex-
perience. Keller played a few games
with the New York Nationals avvay-
hack in the early '90s and after nine
Years of service in Baltimore and
BROOKLYN, became member OF the
New York Americans. More than that
he played with the Giants again after
being released by the Hilltop club
In having played with three teams in
one municipality and two different
times with one Of those teams his ex-
perfence is unique. Young's career also
includes being a member of the Cleve-
lands in the National league u club
DAYS and then. after playing in St.
Louis and Boston, returning to Cleve-
land as an american league player.

H. B. B.-Abe Atten has a 10 round
decision over Johnny Kilbane. Kilbane
was rather new to the ring at the time
OF that meeting
Thomas J. Lynch, president Of the
National league, says that the average
fan has a more intricate knowledge Of
baseball rules than the average baseball
player. This IS 4 bit of hypebole on
the part OF Lynch. but it is neverthe-
less a fact that the ball player does
fearfully neglect the rule book, playing
by instinct most Of the time. That ex-

As we suggested Friday, II there
were to be a winner Of the COulon-COn-
ley fight over the 20 hole course, john
ny COulOn was our choice for the same.
CoulOn breezed home in the lead all
right but he knew that he had been
in a fight when he got through.
Conley IS of the chrome steel con-
stitutiOn which seemingly can stand
anything. Like Battling Nelson there
apparently is no limit 10 the amount
of punishment which he can assimilate.
Like Battling Nelson also he seems 10
lack the punch.
Various stories are told OF Batting
Nelson's punch and the confllcJlons
lead to a good many conclusions but a
perusal of the Battler's record shows
that he hasn't got the kick and the
majority Of his fights were won after
he had worn his opponent to such
state of utter exhaustion that almost
any sort of a bang would blow Up the
show.
Likewise is Conley. The little tai
ian is the second cousin Of q puncn-
Ing bag His sturdy jaw just sets It
self the harder under punishment That
he is not a champion is because ne
lacks the vital factor of the punch
It is probable that had he been able
to rain the punishment on Coulon that
Coulon did on him Saturday afternoon
at Los Angeles that there would nave
been a new champion today. But ne
couldn't He took six punches TO lano
one.
We expect to see Coulon dodge Con-
ley for a long time now. With two
20 round decisions over the little ltal-
ian IL IS not necessary to meet him
again for some time and you may write
it in your little dope book that no
champion likes to meet a tough one like
