Famous Runner Fears Some
Internal Hurts as Result
of Train Wreck.

NEW YORK, March 5.-Melyin w.
Sheppard the veteran champion run
ner of the irish American Athletic
Club, has notified the Amateur Ath-
letic Union that he will probably be
unable to compete in the senior in
door championships tomorrow night.
Sheppard had a thrilling experience
in 81 train wreck in Canada on Mon
day, when five coaches of the Wabash
flyer from Detroit for Buffalo, on
which he was a passenger, rolled
down a twenty-foot embankment.
Although the car In which Sheppard
was riding rolled over three times,
the athlete escaped, he believed at
the time, serious injury He has told
the A. A. L. committee since. how
ever, that he feared he had received
internal injuries, and that 1t would
not be safe for him to compete. Shep-
pard was a favorite for the 3O0-yard
championship and was also con-
sidered a dangerous competitor in the
| 600-yard race, which. with kiviat
Meredith, Davenport and Halpin en-
! tered, is the feature of the meet.

CLEVELAND, o.. March 5.-Ac-

by Secretary Harry Kline yesterday,
the rule restricting the earning ca

BENGALS ON HIGH SEAS
HEADING FOR SAVANNAH
Veterans Walking Leisurely About the
Decks of Their Ship While Recruits
Are Investigating All That Is New.

(By Wireless from STAFF Correspondent
ON BOARD STEAMER CITY OF
ST. LOUIS, March sit was a jovial
bunch of athletes who paced the
decks of the steamer City of st. Louis,
bound for Savannah, with part of
Harry Smiths Tiger machine as her
cargo.
The youngsters who have never
Travelled before by boat found many
points of interest and had examined
the ship from stem to stern and hold
to mizzenmast by the time the sun
began TO creep high in the heavens.
Eddie Zimmerman discovered that
fourteen trips around the deck meas
ured close to a mile, and he cap
tanned a bunch of mixers" who en-
circled the ship for nearly an hour.
The Zimmerman expedition has
already been dubbed the Militant
Suffragettes"
G. Paris Kunkle, Eddie thinner
mans young phenom, keeps his dis
coverer busy asking questions. Up
to late hour last night Kunkle has
approached question No. 9,99S.
Kunkle had never seen the Atlantic
ocean before he reached New York,
let alone being out of sight of land.
Eddie had a hard time reassuring
the younsster that the captain knew
his business and was directing the
craft ably.
"But how will he know when to
steer into Savannah. What ! can
understand is how he knows when he
comes to Georgia"
Eddie threw up his hand like a
drowning person ready to sink Tor
the third time.
Boys Enjoying Themselves.
The boys appeared to be enjoying
the trip. SO far there has been nc
vestige of the malignant attack oil
seasiekness which has been haunting
the players like a bugaboo ever since
it was decided to make the trip by
boat. Johnny Enzmann, who is quite
athletic, nimble and sinewy, amused
his fellow-players by climbing up the
rigging of the ship today. Any time
Johnny wants to quit baseball he can
ship on the City of st. Louis, so the
CAPTAIN told him this morning.
Eddie Zimmerman is rounder than
ever. Ed always had build some
thing like a pudgy doughnut, hence
the appellation which as acquired
seems most appropriate-"The Human
Dynamo"-because of his untlring
energy. Ed kept his eye in trim by
clicking the worries together down IN

BALLOT RETIRED FROM
ENGL AND TO KENTUCKY

Ballot, the slashing Voter stallion
which carried the polka dots of the
late James r. Keene to many notable
victories, will reach New York TO-DAY
from England.
The big chestnut has been on the
other side for several years. Few
months ago a syndicate of Kentucky
breeders purchased him for $So,0oo
The intention of the breeders is to
try and make up for the inroads or
the past few years on the thorough
bred, which has steadily decreased
since the passage of anti-racing laws
Ballot will remain in New York
few days to give him an opportunity
to get rid of the effects of the tenn
pestuous sea voyage Then he will
be placed aboard a special car and
shipped to Hamburg Place, at Lex
ington, Ky. the famous stud farm
owned by John L. Madden.
The return of Ballot will be OF in
estimable value to the horse world,
for he comes from line that was
noted for speed, stamina and en-
durance.

Zimmerman has been practising at
handball during the past two weeks
at his home and there is the elasticity
of a. cats step in his tread as he
valiantly leads his men around the
boat.
The water was comparatively calm
and the surface of the ocean as
smooth as a mirror today. The sun
was bright and the glare of Old Sois
reflection dazzled the eyes of the
players. Zimmerman advised his men
to look out on the water as little as
possible, for fear of iniuring their
eyes. Kunkle said ne wished he had
brought along pair of smoked
glasses. The pure sea air was invig-
Grating and the players have ravenous
appetites, The dining-room bell is al
