OUIMET
 TO 60 ABROAD

E Despite assertions from England that he was not an amateur golfer in the strictest sense of the British rule, Francis Ouimet, the youth who won that memorable p1ay-on in the Amer1- can open championship, defeating Var don and Ray, announced yesterday that he had no fear on that score, and that he expected to play in the Brit ish amateur championship at Sandwich next year.
 q may never get another opportun- ity, and intend to start for England early in April in order to get used to conditions and: surroundings.
 The assertion came from the pen of Horace Hutchinson, British writer who stated that while Ouimet was perfectly clean from the American standpoint, he was tainted with a touch of professionalism, in view of the fact that he had been caddie- Ouimet's caddie days were over at 15, almost a year within the proscrib- ed limit The rule defining an amateur lis identical on both sides of the At lantic.
 Massachusetts golfers are rather an- noyed by such an assertion, and are inclined to the belief that Hutchinson was nisinformed, and that he does not portray the true British feeling in the matter. Hutchinson, incidentally, expresses the hope that the gap can be readily spanned, for the reason that Quinn netN appearance on British links is greatly desired

FINNISH RUNNER HAS
 FINALLY SECURED JOB
KoIehmainen Goes to Work Af- ter Being in Country More
 Than Year.

$ Behold! Registration Committee of the Metropolitan Association of the Amateur Athletic Union of the Unit ed States, and all athletes who wish Flames Kolehmainen to be anywhere but in this country The Finn Cwho has startled the world with his speed and has been a terror, to all of the distance men in this country has se- cured a job.
 Because this phenom runner did not do some mental or manual labor for a living since he arrived in this country one year and three months ago, the aforementioned august body and a few athletes became suspicious as to how he managed to exist. On account of not having a calling at that time the sentiment among those who would like to get him out, of anna teur circles was that he received more events, or at least that he used his trophies as collateral. These runners insinuated so strongly that flames ran to live that the registration commit tee held an Investigation behind clos- ed doors.
 The registration committee reserved it's decision despite the fact that Ko- ing to his adherents. Up to date. the committee has not lifted the cloud from flames amateur status. He has 9, sunny nature, however, and refuses to worry.
 The little Finn is now laboring as a helper in a photographic concern in Bay Ridge, New York. He has been extremely busy during the holiday sea son, so he has notified several promo ters of meets out of town that he can not find time to compete at their meets.

COLLEGES TO PUT
 NUMBERS ON ALL
 PLAYERS IN 1914

In keeping with the holiday spirit most of the big colleges in the country came along yesterday with most ac- ceptable gift for the football enthu- siasts-the announcement that next season they would number their foot ball sgladiators-
 In the east. Princeton, Pennsylva- mia, Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth and Carlisle came out in favor of the plan. So have Holy Cross, University of Maine, Colgate, and a number of the smaller colleges. Washington and Jefferson college has numbered it's players for two years The Army of f1cia1s declared they would number their men if the Navy did; the Navy said it would number it's men if the Army did So it seems certain that both these institutions also will fall into line. F+H
 In the west the conference colleges have announced that they would num- Der their players next year. The smaller western colleges have follow ed the larger ones in approving the plan This leaves only Harvard and Yale among the big institutions in the entire country that have not openly favored the plan. However, it is said that the officials at both these colleges have changed their recent views on the subject and that when 1914 rolls around they will not hold out against the numbering plan.

 He has given much thought to the matter since the season closed, and not long ago rernarked= s'I see where T made some bIunders. The uInpires are but human. They are likely to make as many mistakes as Tor any player. am going to go along next year upon the theory that the uInpires' decisions will even themselves up in the course of a year and endeavor to take the raw verdictS less to heart.
 There were times last season that T was so worked up over what T con sidered a raw decision that could not sleep. I presume that is what every new manager has to contend with, though, and am merely having the experience that a score of others have had. But when the bell rings next year I am going to try to take the decisions more calmly and endeaVor to haveztl1e rest of the team do the same

BROOKLYN CLUB
 TO LOSE $I5,OOO
National Commission To Take Up Matter Of Federal
 League Invasion

Cincinnati O., EDec. 30-The activi- ties of the new Federal League have reached a point where they will re- ceive the attention of the National Commission. Garry Hermann, chair man of the commission, said yester- day that matters pertaining to the new league will be taken up ''in a general way at a meeting of the commission in Cincinnati on Jan- G.
 Heretofore not a great deal of at tention has been paid to the new league officially by the commission. The league has been regarded as an ganization that had little backing, would not be able to go very far in the way of signing big league stars and would not be in shape to continue through the playing season.
 The acquisition of Joe Tinker, Miner Brown and a few lesser lights gives the impression in this city and else- where that the new league is to to do big business.
 Brown is the only player on the Red-Leg reserve list reported formally signed with the Federals- cThe Reds can't lose a cent if Tinker goes to the Federal Tinker was sold to the Brooklyn Club for $1 5000 and Brook lyn runs all risk of getting Tinker to report.
 4The claim is made by major league club owners that players who are un- der reserve to major league clubs will be enjeined from playing with the Federals, and that players who jump will be sorry before the summer is very old
 Club owners, including the owners of the Reds, claim the reserve clause in contracts is binding and that they will go to court to secure injunctions to prevent reserve players from taking part in Federal games.

HYATT SWEARS FOR PITTSBURGHS
 .PIOUS OUTFIELR

The cIeanest spoken bunch of out- he1ders in the world, in all probabflftV is the set used by Pittsburgh in Che latter months of 191S4 Mike Mitchell. as everybody knows, never uses bad language of any kind, and ft is re- peI1ant to his nature. Chief Owen Wilson hardly ever says anything to anybody, and has never been heard swearing on the few occasions when he did break out in speech Maj Carey, the left fielder, fs a minister. and, as can be easily imagined, even so strong expIetive as "Ohr-thuu.- der!'' islnever heard.
 One day last fall, in a close and hard-fought game, a high fly went sailing out where Mitchell and Wilson were both tempted by it's prozfmftg They got their wires crossed, however each thought the other had it, and Che ball fell untouched between them With a moan of internal agony Wilson recovered the ball and drove ff fu. Carey, with some idea of backing u1 the play, ran over and tried to inter cept the ball It glanced off hlg glove and rolled away, while a pro cession of runners went Whooping round the bases.
 The three religious athletes stood, purplfng in the face, their lips Wrfth- ing, but utterly unable to eEprea1 their feelings. Finally Mitchell called Ham Hyatt, the reserve man, from the bench.
 MT. Hyatt" explained AIr- Mitch ell, you saw what just happened We can't say what we would like to about it. Would you mind doing justice to the occasion?''
 And MT. Hyatt, being bound by no such scruples as the three regularn. poured forth language suitable and dt- ting, while Mitchell, Wilson and Ca rey, cap in hand, stood respectfully around and thanked him for his kind ness.

New York, Dec.s 30-What appears to be a record field goal kicking feat has been uncovered in the middle west after thirteen years omission from gridiron chronicles. According to this statement the five goals kick ed by Brickley, Trafford and Ecker- sail do not constitute the best per formance< since Robertson, Purdue's great place kicker, set a record for field goals in 1900 which neither Brickley nor any other of the famous kickers has ever equa1led.
 In the Purdue-Rose Poly football game of October 27, 1900, Robertson kicked seven goals from the field on The score of the game was: Purdue AZ, Rose Poly T. RobeEtson's feat had been forgotten at Purdue until Athletic Director Hugh Nicol received a letter from Lake Forest College en- closing an excerpt from a news item in ssThe Stentor,' the Lake Forest college publication of October z31, 1900.
 This item read: "Purdue won re- markab1e game Of football. from Rose Poly last Saturday, when Robertson, of Purdue, kicked seven goals from the field on place kicks. The longest of the seven out of twelve attempts was from the 45-yard line. This is sun- doubtedly a record that will stand for some time.i' The prediction has been realized, for the record certainly has stood for a long time and probably will stand for a much longer period, Robertson was the greatest place kicker the middle vest ever produced. He was killed in the, Purdue railroad wreck of October 31, 1903.
 Cornell won permanent possession of the intercollegiate cross country championship cup by. winning the in tercol1egiate race at New York City November s22. The peculiar feature of the win was that Cornell athletic authorities were not aware of the fact until several weeks later. Of the fifteen cross-country races Cornell has won thirteen, but it was not until. 1908 that the championship cup was put up for competition by the I. A. A. A. A.
 The Blues Committee of Oxford University, England has developed the same aversion to the Olympic games that is evidenced in other quar- ters of English athletics, as is shown by the following resolution: ''The committee, of the British Olympic Council, having issued an appeal for 100000 ($5O0. .OOO), that Great Brit ain may be adequately represented in the Olympic games of 1916, the Blues Committee duly considered that sap- peal at their meeting and unaninn nous- 1y> agreed to pass the following resolu- ton: Whilst entirely disapproving of Olympic games as now conducted, the Blues Committee recognizes that Great Britain is already committed to the Olympic games, 1916, and there fore hope that all possible support will be given to the games of that year, on the ristinct understan ding that no obligation is hereby implied or incurred of their support and in terest in future years after 1916.s'

Tiresome Bout In New HaV- en Between Heavyweighfs Makes Crowd Sore
(New Haven Journa1-Courier.J

CNew Haven JoUrnaI-Courfer)
 Two of the white hope crop wen foisted upon the natives at the Casino last night under the auspices Of the National Athletic club. Jess Willard. the Kansas cow puncher, and George Rode1 from far away Africa furnished the fun which ended rather abruptly during the fore part of the ninth round of the scheduled twenty round tilt A terrific right uppercut de1fv- cred by Willard, sent RodeI to the canvas and as the latter rolled over the desert of rosin Referee Dave Fitzgerald tolled off the fatal ten sec- onds- Previous to the knockout Will lard had scored two knockdOWns over all the way.
 The semi-fna1 bout also turned out to be an abbreviated affair. Bunny Ford, introduced as that old war horse," scored a knockout over HuEf Haggerty after four rounds of spec tacular milling Red Allen of Bridge port, Tailed to appear to box Eddie O'Br1en, the r. M- C. A. boxing fn- structor and Young Nisto Of TTfrh- wood, was substituted. VIsto ouff cold in the second chapter after en- thusing the populace by his showing in the initial round.
 The Willard-Rode1 affair was a biz disappointment. Much had been aa7f and written of the big fellows but sH are now convinced that New Eaver is no place for their future exDIoffa. The preliminaries produced far mora fighting than that which the aspir- ants for Jack Johnson's title display ed.
 Of the two it was hard to tell vThicn was the worst. Willard lacked az gressiveness, used his right only a. few times with any degree of enectiveneea and elbowed his opponent in a way that caused the crowd to screech for cleaner fighting.
 When willard did land, his puncH carried considerable weight But Ro- del was no glutton for punishment and appeared to have Q glass jaw and "a weak foundation.
 At the start Rode1 did all of tha leading and continued these tactics throughout the mill. He was nervoua and excitable and would be a. tarrer for any man that knows the game His great defect is that for 19O poundr he has the punch Of a light or feafh. erweight.

WRESTLER GOTCH
 BARRED IN CHICAGO

Chicago, Dec. 30-Frallk Gotch never will be seen in Chicago again in a wrestling match or even in an ex- hibition bout while the present city adIninistration holds sway r. This was brought out yesterday by the announcement that the great Iowa athlete has decided to return to the game after retirement of many months.
 -Cotch incurred the dispIeasure of the city officials last. summer when an effort, was made to get him to come here and help out an athletic program. According to the story told today, Gotch agreed to, come and wres- tie, but at the last minute nothing was heard of him.
 He did not appear as advertised and it is said that Mayor Harrison then and there vowed that Gotch was through so far as Chicago is. con- cerned. Had Gotch. declined :to come when first approached no further at- tention would have been given the matter, but he promised to come and then, failed to keep his word

Jimmy Wash, Who Boxes Young McAuliffe Here New Years, to Arrive Tomorrow

All but two of the boxers who will take part in the. South End A. C.. boxing show at Eagles hall, New Years afternoon, have arrived in this city. Jimmy Walsh and An Chung, who both live in Boston, are the only absent ones and they will be here tomorrow afternoon. Walsh has writ ten to a friend in this city that he will show up McAu1iffe. The Bos- ton batt1er has been training unusu- ally hard for this bout because the fame of McAuliffe as hard hitter has spread to Beantown. Walsh says he will show so much clever footwork that the local boy won't beSable to lay glove on him.
 Young McAuliffe is always in good shape but he is keeping his sparring partners busy at St. Joseph's hall daily in order that he will be in top notch form when the bell rings on Thursday. He knows the bout with Walsh will be the hardest in his ca reer and he is prepared to give his

 The Washington and Jefferson Co1-l lIege weekly is piqued a result of the rating generally accorded the varsity football team this season. The editor fixes the status of the eleven as follows: And so we refuse to make any estimate of our own standing. We believe w. & J. has the greatest team in the country. We believe cur team could beat Harvard, that it did beat -practically-and that it should not be ranked below Chicago or. any body else. As for individual stars, we have about fourteen that we are very well satisfied with, and the dope sters can take them or leave them, just as they choose, without ruffIing our dispositions half as much as do the thoughts of the approaching ex- ams.''
 The difficulties under which football was played in the early days of the sport is well illustrated by a story told by Judge Charles Renster at the recent banquet to the Purdue eleven. In telling of the quitting of the first Old Gold and Black team he said: .tsWe had no. store. in lafayette that carried football togs, so we got little German tailor to measure all the boys and make suits for them. He made the uniforms out of bedticking, with out padding and skin tight When we appeared on the feld-to play But Ter, they protested. because. they said we had greased that bedticking in the hope they would be unable to hold us when they tackled. That was not true and after ten minutes par1eying, the protest was disa11oMF ed. .''
 The University of Montana is, con- sidering a plan to hold a. dual boxing and wrestling meet with Montana State College next spring.
 Yale leads in the number of players selected by Walter Camp for his All American football teams during the past twenty-four years. During that period Yale has placed 79; Harvard, 5S; Princeton, 49; Pennsylvania, 34; West Point, 6; Michigan, 6; Chicago, 5; Dartmouth, 5; Carlisle, 4; Brown, 4; Cornell, 3; Columbia, 3 Annapolis, 9; Minnesota, 2 and Amherst, Penn sylvania State, Syracuse and Wiscon- sin, one each.

The shells which will be ready in March, are to be built for a crew averaging ITO pounds, and the builders. predict that one of the two will finish first in the intercollegiate Regatta on the Hudson next June. The funds for the shells were provid- ed by the Seattle Commercial Club.
