OF the trotting world was wrested from
him in 1901. IL today drawing a commits
sary wagon In Russia.
This information reached Toledo horse
men. who revered the name of Cresceus a
few years ago. His former owner, George
b. Ketcham. who made a fortune off
him, says he understands the great trot-
ting king is now a humble army horse
off there in the Baltic provinces.
Ketcham sold Cresceus TO the Russian
government a few years ago. Agents
from the cars army arrived with a huge
offer. Cresceus was needed for breeding
purposes. said the agents. Ketcham took
the offer In the meantime Cresceus, who
deteriorated rapidly after his defeat by
The Harvester. was OF no use to the rae
ing world. He was a failure also as a
breeder.
Since his arrival in the cars domain
there has been an occasional word about
Cresceus received by Toledo horsemen.
This word always told OF failure OF the
one time trotting king. Cresceus is now
about 20 years old, say those who have
followed his career.

President johnson was quoted today as
saying the league would not In any way
interfere with the disposal Of Baker. The
organization will leave the matter en-
tirely TO Connie Mack OF the Athletics

BASKET TOSSERS
READY FOR PLAY
Tri-city Loop Will Open Season Sat-
urday, with Other Leagues to
Follow Shortly.
ALL-srARs HERE DECEMBER 81

Local basket ball tossers will start the
ball rolling next Saturday when the Trl-
City league is scheduled to commence
hostilities for the season. The Glass A
teams are to be followed by the CONNER
cial tossers who will open up the first
Tuesday in January. The Church leaguers
will decide their opening date at a spe-
cial meeting that is to take place Decem-
Der II.
Though the Tri-City loop will open up
Saturday several OF the outlets win not
be ready for some time to come. Among
these are Creighton college and the Uni
versity OF Omaha. In order that play
can start on the date decided upon. the
schedule is so being arranged that the
two schools will not play their first con-
test until after the first of the year.
That basket ball fans will witness a
most active season is evidenced from the
fact that over thirty-five auintets have
organized. The teams have been grouped
according to their ability into three
leagues, the Glass A fives comprising the
Tri-City league. Glass B teams the Com
mercial loop and the Glass c teams the
Church organization. So that this dis
tinetion will be constant throughout the
season no player from a higher league
will be allowed 10 participate in contests
OF lower organization.
All Teams Meet Twice.
The schedule as outlined by the varl-
Gus officials calls for the meeting OF all
quintets twice. In all 1t has been esti-
mated that there will be total OF over
800 league contests and In order that the
schedules do not become congested It will
be necessary 10 play at least fifteen of
these each week.

TEN TRAP SHOOTS
HELD In NEBRASKA
Records of interstate Association
Show Average Of Forty Five At
tended Tournaments.
SPORT MAKES GAINS ALL OVER

Ten registered trap shoots were held
during the current year in Nebraska, ac-
cording TO the report OF Secretary
Shaner of the Interstate association.
under the auspices OF which all regis
tered shoots are held.
The average attendance OF amateur
shots at Nebraska tournaments was
forty-five and one-fifth which is a very
high average, figuring that in some
state the average attendance was less
than twenty. In the ten tournaments
held. total OF i52.475 targets were
trapped. The moneys contributed to
Nebraska Journeys by the Interstate as
ISOLATION totaled S525.
Secretary shanePs annual report IL
very gratifying to followers OF the blue
rock game. as II shows a big increase In
the sport this year
The number OF different contestants
in registered tournaments was $40 this
year. as compared to 7.S49 last year.
The total number OF tournaments held
was sS3, as compared 20 S14 year ago.
This Is despite the fact that this year
seventy-six applications four tourna-
ments were refused. as compared to only
fifteen refusais OF applications in 1914.
There were forty-two registered state
tournaments this year as against thirty
nine a year ago.
The above record is really a splendid
one. While base ball and other popular
sports suffered from the industrial lull
which perveated the land during the
created part OF the year, trap shooting
was in no way affected.
And the records Of the Interstate as
ISOLATION, II must be remembered. do not
include any data with regard to unreg-
istered tournaments. and there were
scores Of such held throughout the
United States this year. There are far
more unregistered tournaments held
than registered ones.
