Cheers Start Skaters in
Race Round the Clock
Big Crowd Sees Fifteen
Teams "Roll" in Rec
ord Time at
the Garden.
Bv FRED HAWTHORNE.

With more than 1000 persons cheer
ing like mad, the first twenty-four-h hour
team race on roller skates ever held IN
New York started at 1905 o'clock last
night in Madison Square Garden. At
the end cf the first hour all but three
OF the fifteen teams in the race were
tied for the lead, at Is miles and 4
laps. The previous record, made by an
individual skater, at Milwaukee, last
year. was 10 miles and 8 laps.
The enthusiasm of a six-day bicyce
race crowd never approached the dimen-
sions of those who watched the men
whirling about the little banked track
last night. Every effort to steal lap
was greeted with wild bursts of APP
plause. and the relieving of the racers
BY their partners was fully as thrilling
as when bicycles are being used.
Dick Rudolph, that peerless pitcher
of the Boston Braves, did the honors
in the starting line and fired the pistol
that started the thirty men on their
long grind. Before the men had been
on the track half an hour series of
wild sprints began. with the result
that the teams of Mclean and Watts,
Greerton and Moffatt and Ted Mulhol
land and Strause, each lost two laps.

markable sight after the race had been
in progress for an hour. With almost
every arena box occupied by richly
gowned women and their escorts, and
the seats in arena and gallery packed,
New York appeared to have lost its
head over this latest phase of sporting
events.
Just after the II o'clock score had
been posted, Jack Woodwork, Of the
Dixie" team, started sprint that car
RE him forty yards into the lead be-
fore the other skaters awoke to the
situation. Then began a wild scramble
on the part of the stragglers to keep
up with the terrific pace set. Arthur
Launay, of Newark, Woodworth's part
ner came out on the track and in
creased the lead, until , majority of
the skaters had been Tapped. Roland

speed roller skater of the world, who

is paired with Willie Blackburn, of New
York, set sail after Launay, and by the
most desperate kind of skating man
age to keep up with the leaders.
Just before this sensational sprint
Freddie Martin, of the Anglo American
team, won a fve-lap sprint for 50, Of
fered by a spectator. This feature,
which proved so popular at the last
six-day bicycle race, is in force at the
Garden roller race. and the men on
the track seem fully as keen TO win
the money as the bicy lists were.
The same sleeping cots beside the
track that are used in the siX-day af-
fairs were to be seen last night, and
here the racers stopped when relieved
and were taken in charge by their
trainers. Many of the men wore Cog
giles. some caps and others eyeshades.
Charley Watts. of the North and South
team. insisted upon sucking a wet
sponge throughout the first hour.
Freddie Tyrrell. of Chicago, arrayed
entirely in scarlet, looked like mod
ern Mephistopheles as he sped around
the track. Other teams were dressed
in all the cOlors of the rainbow and
made a picturesque sight as they
whirled about the banked track.
The success of the race so far has
been a surprise to the promoters Of
the affair, and they now believe that
New York will take to them in the
future.

Spring Surprise on the
Crack WreStlerS of
New York A. G.

Columbia's wrestlers defeated the
crack team representing the New York
A. c. last night in the Columbia gym
nasium by the score Of II to 10. The
college men won four of the seven
bouts, one of which was gained on
clean falls.
All three Of the bouts won By the
New York A. c. grapplers were falls,
which accounts for the closeness OF the
score.
The,result Of the meet hinged on the
last bout. i'm which Captain Nat PEN
dleton faced Carl Johnson, present 100
pound metropolitan champion and for
mer 145-pound national champion, the
Columbia star carrying of the honors
on decision.
The outcome of the meet was a sur
prise even TO the most optimistic OF
the Columbia rooters, and augurs well
for the team in the dual college meets
later in the winter. The contest last
night was the second for Columbia this
season and the opening meet for the
clubmen. Columbia showed we'll bal

SALE OF YANKEES
STILL HANGS FIRE
Ban Johnson Says To-day
Is the Day, but There's
No Telling-NOt Yet.

French Lick, Ind, Dec. IA Anal
conference on the sale Of the New York
Yankees between Colonel Jacob Rup-
pert and my parties probably will be
held tomorrow" said Ban Johnson
president of the American League, to-
night.
After a conference between Colonel
Rupert and Captain T. l.. Huston, who
are arranging to purchase the New
York club, and Charles A. Comiskey,
president of Chicago Americans, and
Mr.. Johnson. the American League
head said:
ave did not discuss the price TO be
paid for the Yankees. but did talk
about the managership and some
changes in the lineup which Rupert
must have settled in order to consider
the team. | will not name these
changes, but can say that if the deal
for the manager being considered IS
closed it will be a pleasant surprise TO
the baseball public. / cannot say when
the schedule meeting will begin. Bar
ney Dreyfuss is expected to arrive late
tonight"
Mr.. Johnson did not explain his
statement that changes in the lineup
of the New Yorks would have TO be
made before Colonel Rupert would
consider" the team. Colonel Rupert
announced several days ago that he
had already purchased the club and
that the deal would be completed with
the fixing of price, which, he said,
would be about S450,000. Colonel Rup-
pert refused 10 discuss to-day's meet
ing.
President Comiskey, Of the Chicago
club, was forced to leave the confer
ence shortly after it began. He went
TO his room complaining Of a slight
faintness. A physician ordered Mr..
Comiskey to keep to his bed for a day
or so, in order TO recover from a cold.
The physician said the attack is not
