JOCKEY MILES IN WAR.
Shot From Ambush by Servians.
Thoroughbreds Useful in Service.

NEW YORK, December 1.-An Ameri-
can Jockey, with the euphonious name
of Mickey Miles. has just returned to
his Brooklyn home from Austria,
where he had some thrilling war ex-
periences. Miles has been riding in
Austria for the last nine years. and
has become popular with the horsemen
of that country. He was leading all
the riders this season, and won the last
race that was run before war was de-
clared. His mount in that event was
Ira gopan, a horse that was afterward
taken by the army for $500, although
his owner had previously refused an
offer of O,00O for him.
Miles knowledge of horses made him
of real value to the Austrian army, and
he was employed to inspect animals for
service. Miles yesterday was taking
luncheon with some friends at the
Krickerbocker Hotel, and related some
interesting experiences. While on a tour
of inspection. in an automobile, he was
shot from ambush by a party of Servi-
ans. One bullet inflicted wound in
the arm, and the second tore through
his uniform blouse from side to side,
and painfully wounded his back, al
though it was only flesh deep.
1t was shortly after this narrow es-
cape that Miles obtained his discharge,
and he has the bullet perforated blouse
here with him, as souvenir of his
part in the war. After this experience
he was promoted to stan pOSltlon
md decorated.
Miles had an excellent opportunity to
observe the relative merits Of horses in
the war, for that was his particular
province. He says that there were
number of thoroughbreds in the serv-
ice. and that they were so far superior
to all the other horses that they were
in a class by themselves.

GOLFERS FUND, $e,616.25.
Sixty-Six Clubs in Metropolitan Dis
trict Aid Belgians' Relief.

NEW YORK, December with the
hnal total of ss.s1s.25. Frederick H.
Thomas, secretary of the Metropolitan
Golf Association, issued his final an
nouncement of the receipts from the
golfers playing on election day for the
Belgian relief fund. Sixty-six out OF
a total of seventy-two clubs respond
ed, and of these sixty held special
competitions on the holiday. charging
81 entrance fee, all of which went to
the fund.
Tho association takes this oppor-
tunity to thank the various clubs who
have co-operated SO handsomely for
their generosity" says President
Thomas in tho announcement. Il think
the amount raised is very creditable.

The idea originated with Mrs. Joseph
F.. Davis. a member Of the Nassau
Country Club, who told her plan to
Howard F. whitney. member of the
association executive coDmittee. Ac-
cordingly, the committee decided to
hold this competition throughout the
district on election day. each entrant
paying a fee of 81 for the fund. Mrs.
Davis has written the association ex-
pressing her thanks and also her de-
light that such . large amount had
been obtained.

the two institutions for this winter
shows the trend of events, and it may
not be long now before a general resur-
rection in athletics is seen, and that
time will be welcomed by the thou
sands of followers of G. W. L. in this
city.
Catholic University is in position to
form an alliance with Georgetown that
in very few years would be a big
thing for both universities, but the
Blue and Gray is adverse to the idea
Catholic University has been George
towns equal in base ball for several
seasons, but. of course, has yet to show
enough in foot ball to warrant a pre-
dictidn for even close contest Catho-
lie University does not have anything
like the following here that does
George Washington, though, and an
Immediately profitable alliance is what
Georgetown desires more than one
that will have to take three or four
years to build up.
The Y. NJ. c. A. boys department
basket ball team is to play the Friends
School quint tonight. This will be the
first event for the latter five. but the
former has been an one game. winning
from the Eastern High team.
The Maryland Agricultural College
will be represented in basket ball this
winter. A lack of proper facilities for
playing caused the Athletics council to
take action abolishing the sport until
next year. when it is likely the Farm
ers will have an excellent gymnasium.
1t appears very much as if a mis-
take was made in the selection of an
All-Maryland team by a Baltimore
paper last Sunday in that Oberlin OF
NJ. A. C. was not given one of the
tackles places. Other tackles were
chosen in preference to him. but he
was given recognition for guard
position because. as was stated. the
guards were rather below the standard.
AS a matter of fact. if Gberlin was not
the best tackle in the state, barring
none, then til. writer admits his error
in Judging the capabilities Of foot ball
players. Ober = outplayed every tackle
in every game in which he took part,
and certainly there was no man who
proved himself superior to the former
Central High boy. Oberlin, while not
as good an offensive player as he might
have been. was as capable as any Of
the others in this respect. and certainly
outclassed his rivals in defensive work
and in getting down the field under

Better opportunities for indoor track

cording to present plans. five indoor
meets are to be held, while only three
took place last season.
According to preparations now being
made. there will be five indoor meets

Hopkins Fifth Regiment competitions are
to be offered as usual.
Last winter there were only three
meets in the South Atlantic section
Hopkins, Georgetown and Richmond
College, Because Of a lack of oppor-
tunity for competition, the interest
abated considerably here. but now that
there will be three sets of games in
this city besides the ones in Baltimore
and Richmond 1t Is more than likely
that an exceptional number Of boys
will take up running. More Washing

different meets this year than in a long

1t only goes to show that a successful
team needs something besides batting
strength. Back in the old days there
was a slugging team in Philadelphia
which, however. never cut any nsure
in the race. Ed Delehanty, Larry LaJole
and several others were the premier
hitters of those days. That team wouio
average about ten runs per game, yet
finished far down in the race.
1t is seldom that a manager Will sac
rifice a good defensive player of intel
ligence for a slugger, for the very good
reason that these sluggers, il they have
other weaknesses, cannot offset their
faults with base hits.
Despite the fact that Roger Bresna-
han is going to be one OF the pest paiu
managers in base ball next year, ne
to handle the Cubs at $4,000 per year,
those familiar with conditions declare
that he will earn his salary. The sail
ing is not going to be smooth lot
Roger, is the prediction. 10 oesih WILL
he viii have a lot of dissatisfied atm
letes to contend with, though he has
already planned to get rid of five OF
these. But Heinie Zimmerman.s name
does not appear among those BreSna-
han SAYS he will drop, and yet Zim-
merman seems to have been the chief
troublemaker on the team. Bresnahan
and Zim indulged in an exchange OF
fists one summer afternoon In 1911 NO
decision was given, but Bresnahan very
wisely, since becoming the manager,
saws that no enmity toward thinner
man exists The Cubs third baseman
is too good ball player to fall out
with, and BreSnahan will try to handle
him with better success than did
O'Day.
According to Dave Fultz, president OF
the Players Fraternity. the demands
which will be submitted to the national
later this winter are sure
Fultz will not divulge what the nature
of these demands is. but he says they
are along lines which cannot be con-
strued as being Objectionable to or
eanized base ball. But. of course. that
remains to be seen for there are rea-
sons for believing that Fultz and the
men at the head of organized base ball
view such matters from entirely dif-
ferent angles.
ter of organized ball clubs who will not
be interfered with if they open nego-
tiations with the Feds. First Baseman
Johnston of the Maps is one of these
of the most active recruiting agents
Of the Feds, has asked for a confer
ence with Johnston and II Is not un-
likely that he will join with the out
laws. President Somers. upon hearing
this, has notified Johnston not to hesi-
tate about joining the Feds, as Mana
ger Birmingham has marked him as
dead wood.
President kavanaugh of the South
ern League has hit upon the right
plan of preventing the clubs of his Or
from violating the salary
limit rule. It is a known fact that
Evening star., 1914-12-01

many players have drawn more pay
than their contracts called for, and this
is in strict violation of the measure
which was passed for the purpose Of
preserving the organization. Kava-
naugh wants the books audited and q
system of espionage employed, SO that
no club will dare to violate the rule.
Dick RUDOLPH, the start o. the world
series pitchers, attributes his success
to the fact that he has control and is
thus able to put the ball within a frac-
tion of an inch where he wants to. This
naturally allows him to work the bat
ters and makes him effective. He con-
tends that he can put every delivery
at his command right where he wants
to, and that it is this which makes
him effective rather than that he has
a lot of natural ability. Rudolph's
pitching against the Athletics was
masterful. He held the hard hitting
Mackmen at bay in both of the games
he worked against them and he seemed
to be at his best when the hardest
hittcrs were facing him.
