New York, March 7.-While much
has been said and written about Tex
Rickard, Tom Jones, Ike Dorgan and
even Frank Moran and Jess Willard,
all connected with the big fight to be
staged on March %, comparatively
little about Sam McCracken who with
Richard is promoting the bout, has
been put before the reading public.
The other day McCracken took a few
minutes off to tell newspaper man
all about himself.
"As n boy" said Mr.. McCracken,
Il lived about hundred and fifty
miles outside of ST. Louis. My father
was in the horse and mule business
and at the age of twelve l used to
take two and three carloads of cattle
into the st. Louis markets. Later we
moved to Kansas City, but dad re-
mained in the same game. 1t was the
horse business that first brought Tex
and me together and ours has been a
friendship of many years.
Joins Big Circus
Il was twenty years old when l
just twenty years ago." he said with a
faraway smile. For ten years l
acted as the general representative for
them, but for the past six years / have
devoted my efforts to the Barnum &
Bailey show, acting as manager.
Il have been trying to get out of
the game, but somehow the Ringlings
want me to stick. To be honest with
you, I am not absolutely certain about
1t now. ! have been in every city in
America, and Canada with a popula-
tion of 5000 and up"
Therefore aside from his personal
and financial support, Rickard could
not have chosen a better partner for
McCracken's practical knowledge and
practical experience with crowds is
equal to anybody in the country. He
has been in charge of the ticket sale
almost exclusively and counts up with
the treasurer each evening. To as
sist him he has two old circus men,
Fred de Wolf who is known as the
fastest hard ticket seller in the world,
and Chick Bell.

that race was Abel Kiviat, one of the
greatest runners who ever wore a
shoe, now a professional; Ioie Ray,
the speed burner from Chicago; Ny

Of Dartmouth, and number of west

Taber did not win. The time was
slow owing to the strong wind up the
back stretch, and Joie Ray flashed to

good margin. Myers beat out Xiv

paper clipping from the University of

Lee made record for himself during

stick. The university papers says:
Watch me get this one through
him. said Captain C. r. Woody as he
knocked swift one at Frank s. Lee
in baseball practise yesterday after
noon; but it didn't get through him,
for he eats up fast and easy ones
alike.
Lee is a Chinese student from Ho-

there, he says. C. L. Brewer says he
is q great baseball prospect, as he is
undoubtedly the quickest and liveliest
man on the squad. However, he viii

which ended with the score 8 to 2.
1t was a pitchers battle from the
start with Stoll Of Battery e match
ing his arm and skill against Burnett
Of A, both veteran pitchers of the
regiment Stoll had more than a
shade the better of the match and
his support was very much cleaner
cut. Stoll struck out Is batters to
Burnett's eight. Battery A could get
only 10 men to first in nine innings,
while Battery e was able to put 10
men on the bases in eight Battery e
played better ball and deserved to
win, but up to the timeIthe last man
was out the game was in doubt.
Stoll's record of strike-outs is the
largest that has been made at Scho-
field this season. In two different
innings he struck out all three hat
tiers that faced him.
The Battery E men made all their
runs in the first two innings before
Burnett had fully struck his stride
and while the Battery A team was
getting used to handling the ball.
After the second inning Battery A
settled down and played an air-tight
game, but it was too late and it could
never catch up.
