New York, Dec. 10.-The merits of the Jim Rice controversy, now caus-
 ing widespread interest at Columbia
 university and in collegiate rowing
 circles, cannot be passed upon, for the outsider cannot possibly be in
 close enough touch with conditions to
 pass judgment. But one thing is cer- tain, Jim Rice has given Columbia some mighty fine crews since he was placed in charge of rowing there, and Columbia's rowing history for some years prior to that time was not re- plete with any outstanding collec- ton of victories. It has been as

HOCKEY PLAYERS READY.
CoIIarmakers Have Fine Prospects
 For Coming Season.

Troy, N. Y, Dec. 10.-The Rens- selaer Polytechnic Institute hockey team will have their first practice, on ice, Saturday. December II, according to Captain Patterson, as 1t is expect ed by that time the ring will Be in good shape. Everything points to a good team this year. Over thirty eight men are out for the winter sport and nine of the old letter men are back. McQuide will probably hold his old position of goal tender this year, and with Patterson at point, Kraehm at center, and Kelly and Graves at the forwards, Coach Foun- tain should be able to bring out winning team. Eddy" Dion, one of the old players on the "tute's" star 1910 team, has been helping the men work out in the gym. West Point is expected to be the strongest op- ponent, as they have all of their last years team still at the Academy. Williams is the first on the schedule and is practically an unknown quan- tity as no announcement has been made by the athletic authorities there as to the eligibility of their last years squad man. Complete schedule as filed today is as follows: Decem-
 Der 18th, Williams College at Troy; January 9th, Massachusetts Agricul- tural College at Amherst; January 18th; Trinity College at Troy; Janu- ary 22nd, Springfield Training School at Troy; February 5th, Massachusetts
 Institute of Technology at Troy; Feb- ruary 18th, West Point at West Point.

Yet Rice has fairly, consistently moldcd together @ crew that has been cap able of rendering a pretty fair ac- count of itself in the annual inter- collegiate regatta at Poughkeepsie.

GIVES UP INDOOR GAMES.

According to advices received from Baltimore yesterday it is probable that the indoor championship meet ing of the Amateur Athletic union will not be held in that city. Shortly after the annual meeting of the A. A. U., it was announced that Baltimore had applied for the indoor games, which were conducted at a loss in New York last season. With Baltimore out of the field the games probably will be held in this city. but in an armory in- stead of in Madison Square Garden as heretofore.

PURCHASER FOUND
 FOR SOMERS' CLUB
Hopkins, Cleveland Capitalist Makes Tentative Plans for Purchase of Indians Franchise.

Tentative Plans for Purchase of
 Indians Franchise.
 Cleveland, O., Dec 1O.-A tentative offer for the purchase of the Clevc- land American baseball club has been rendered the bankers committee m charge of the financial affairs of C. w. Somers, present owner. by Ben F. Hopkins, local capitalist.
 Hopkins, who is promoting the Cleveland subway and is chairman of the committee appointed by Mayor Baker to look after the affairs of the Cleveland Amateur Baseball as- sociation, declared tonight that the preliminary steps toward his gaining control of the Cleveland club have been taken. However, before control passes to him a number of important details must be settled. Hopkins in sists upon several radical changes in the terms of the sale as proposed by the bankers committee.
 President Byron Bancroft Johnson of the American league, George Steele, representing the bankers committee, and Owner Somers held a conference last night and it is in tlmated that the deal Tor the sale of the club either to Hopkins or some one else will be closed before John son leaves for Chicago tomorrow | One of the hard knots which the l prospective purchaser and the bank CTS committee will have to unravel is the status of the Cleveland American association club, also owned by Somers. It has been declared for some time that the American asso- citation team will be shifted to Toledo, where it originally was located; but whether it will be sold to Toledo cap- 1 italists or whether the league will op- ] crate the club is not known. Just what will be done regarding the play CTS on the American association team who are the property of the Cleveland American team is problem yet un- solved
 'The bankers committee will have to wrestle with the American asso- citation team problem,' said Somers last night. He as well as Johnson and i Steele declined to discuss either the American or American association club situations.

Electric Light Team Gets Forfeited Games When Opponents Fail

The National Biscuit bowling five, or the aggregation that formerly rep resented that concern, lived up to the reputation that they have ac- quired recently by failing to put in as scheduled in the Mercantile league, and as a result the United Electric Light & Water company team captur- ed three games by the forfeit route last evening. Other members of the league are about disgusted with the actions of the National Biscuit com- pany team, and it is reported that an effort is to be made to get some other team to take it's place. The Electric Light five bowled with the following results:

The Glory That Was Cap AnsOn.

The Glory That Was Cap AnsOn.
 Dear Sir: You say that Wagner has played nineteen years, Lajoie twenty years and Anson twenty-two years. Now, I take decided exception to the record you give Anson. Anson played twenty-seven in the major league aI- though all records only give him twenty-two He played five years in the old National Association, 1871 1875. And twenty-two years after that in the National league. If you toss out this association you will have 10 throw out the records of such men as Spalding, Barnes, McVey, White, Andy Leonard, Fisher and others. Taking Anson's record from the time i,c started with the Athletics, you Will have to add at least 300 hits to his 3,O13. This will still leave Cap well ahead of Wagner's total of 2,565 hits.

 We gladly accept the amendment. Not for all the glory of the ages would we take away from Old Cap one day of his playing career or one base hit. The record stands-1S71 to 1S9S-ln the Big League. Let only him who can bathe in the fabled fountain of eternal youth shoot against the mark

 The Trojan is one of the most re- Trarkable characters that ever played the game. Although weighing less than 15O pounds-a Human Splinter bundle of nerves, hit harder by Fate than any man in the game, Evers is still under the Big Tent after thirteen campaigns.

He finishes just where he starts.

 Modern football carries a decided temperamental touch, but in this temperamental detail the olive must be slipped to Syracuse Syracuse lost to Princeton, then smashed the Conquerors of Yale, 38 to 0, and then Coulun score on Dartmouth.

Any Wagers? |?

R. L. F. desires to know how the AlI-Time All-America eleven would line up We don't know, but we'd be willing enough to let any outfit shoot against this picked army-Center, Schulz Michigan: guards, Heffelfinger, Yale; Hare, Pennsylvania; tackles, Hogan, Yale; Curtis, Michigan; ends. Hinkey and Shevlin or Fitzpatrick, Yale; quarterback, Eckersall, Chicago; halfbacks, Mahan, Harvard; Thorpe, Carlisle; fullback, Coy, Yale.
 From this lineup Yale gets five men, Heffelfnger, Hogan, the two ends, and Ted Coy.
 You can judge from this how great Yale's football descent has been.

way in which / could appropriately
repay Mr.. Seward by courtesy and
kindness and good service for all the
assistance which he so continually
gave TO me-" said Mr. Holiday. Il
despaired, however. OF giving such
service TO him until an unexpected
opportunity came a few months after
Mr.. Seward retired to private life. /
am glad now to reflect that il was
courtesy that he greatly appreciated
and he told me that but for IL he
doubted whether he would have been
able to visit Alaska.
Mr.. Seward was in San Francisco.
after having made what was really a
tour OF triumph across the continent.
for he was greeted everywhere with
demonstrations which were tributes
TO his service while Secretary of
State When he arrived at San Fran
cisco. he presumed that his Western
tour was ended and that he would
soon turn his face toward home. He
happened to mention one day that he
should be rejoiced if he we're able to
continue his trip so as TO take in
Alaska. or that part OF Alaska which
was bounded by the sea. II was a
forlorn hope. however. since there
we're no steamers. so far as he knew
which we're about 10 sail for Alaska
I thought that in view Of the fact that
II was due TO Mr.. Seward that the
States owned Alaska. il would have
been a graceful act If the government
had sent him there on one of the
government vessels at the navy yard
