Tad Jones Rises to Fame.

As we see it the most scintillating record of the entire year of sport was the great rejuvenation of things eff fected by Tad Jones in gridiron circles at New Haven By .@dint of real achievement the New Haven coach left wider gap between his start ahd finish than has any other prom inent procession for the year.

 Fight for Bowling Honors With Boss of Etna Alleys.

A beautiful race for individual hOnOrS in the City league is on at the Etna alleys, and with the end of. the league in sight, the interest in the out come becomes more intense. J. Wright of the Tigers, G. Chawles Rogers of the HarpoOns, Yen" Larson of the Wanderers and the bowler with the handsome locks, Wilhelm Kaiser Brennecke of the Wanderers are at present in a neck and neck struggle for the prize. Each meeting of the league teams during the past few days is watched very closely, the work of this quartet being the exposure of all eyes.
 Last nights match was between the Tigers and the Harpoons, which brought Rogers and J. Wright togeth- CT. When the games were over and the statistical expert had compiled his figures, it was found that Boss Rogers was few pins short of what Wright had toppled, the scores being Wright 330, Rogers 326. Summing up the situation, it was a rather tough night on G. Chawles, his quintet be- also. The scores:

GRENDA BADLY HURT
 IN MAD SPEED DASH
Six Day Riders Collide After Valiant Attempt to Gain Lead

New York, Dec. 22.-The widest sprint of the. six-day race famed the crowd at Madison Square Garden into flame of riotous enthusiasm last night when Oscar Egg and Marcel Dupuy almost stole a lap on the field of riders. Egg was whirling around like mad, three-quarters of a lap ahead of the pack, when a series of accidents, in which Al Brenda, one of the pair favored to win the grind, broke, his collar bone, ended the sen sational burst of speed. Madden got bad tumble, and McNamara and Thomas topple from their wheels through sheer exhaustion.
 The attempt of Egg and Dupuy to lap the field was the gamest and most thrilling feat of the race. The drive started just ahead at the end of the ninth sprint, when Dupuy shot out and was half lap in the lead before the tired riders recovered from the surprise. When they set sail after the flying leader, Egg picked up tie battle and forged another quarter of lap to the fore. The explosion of enthusiasm which greeted the feat was deafening1 and fairly shook the Sleel B1rOefS or the pig amphltheater.
 Eddie Madden, in trying to avoid another rider on the Fourth Avenue bank, tumbled to the flat and was badly bruised and shaken up Un- mindful of the accident, the mad whirl continued and on the next turn Brenda was thrown in a jam on the Madison avenue embankment when his tire flew off and had to be carried fy,oo oly bone.
 His team mate will continue to ride until another. rider is engaged to take Grenda's place. In this feverish jam, which continued for more than two miles, Smith and Bello, already a lap behind, fell another lap to the rear. The race was held up for fifteen min utes. Brenda was taken to Bellevue Hospital.

Mixing Un the Signals.

There is supposed to be a rule in football against coaching from the side lines, even to sending a sub- stitute in with instructions.
 The latter section of the rule is a joke.
 No coach in the country respects it, and no official has a system to break it up, as conditions now are.
 A prominent official tells one of the best stories of the year in thls con- nection.
 Tn a certain big game, just after Princeton had been penalized for one of her subs failing to report to the referee. another substitute on a cer- tain eleven was sent in.
 As he left the side lines he was crammed with two sets of instructions from the coach-one set being to call for a certain play and the other being to be sure and report to the referee.
 At the appointed moment with his dome of thought buzzing with the double set of instructions the sub rushed up to the referee, grabbed him by the arm and reportetd as follows: Make the next play off tackle! Make the next play off tackle!"

A Tribute to Braid.

James s. Worthington, the noted English amateur golfer now visiting this country, sends us the following tribute to the late James Braid: Il read your remarks in The Sportl1ght relative to the great friendship which existed between poor Jimmy Braid and J. H. Taylor. It is more than true for their friendship could be described as brotherly and affectionate and was never interfered with in spite of the rivalry existing between them. There is not the slightest doubt but that Taylor will be very greatly affected bv the sad loss of his very dear friend.
 "Perhaps of all the professionals
 James Braid, was quite the most popu- lar and was beloved by every one who
 knew him, for a more kindly or lov-
 able nature never existed. Always
 generous to his opponents and Kindly encouraging to any one he played with, he loved the game for the games sake. and what a wonderful player ne was, Not only could he play all deli cate shots, but shots and carries which seemed almost impossible he would revel in bringing off with crashing effect. his club-head travelling at l tremendous pace. Perhaps the shot l in which he excelled was his long l cleek shot to the green. It left the 1 club like the crack of a pistol with l low trajectory and deadly straight. l 1 believe this was the shot he loved best l of all I have the most pleasant l memories of many games with
 Jimmy and I have never heard an angry or a bitter expression from ! his lips. He took his ups and downs 1 as they came. He once took nine
 strokes for the third hole at Prest- ] wick. the Cardinal, a par four, and l then went ahead unruffled and won
 the open championship. His death is nothing short of tragedy and will be deeply lame ented throughout the golf ing world.''
