throughout.

peg. Hartman's lead dog was killed
in a fight with the next two behind
him. The extra dog was then tied up
and went along for 100 miles or SO.
Hartman carried a sick dog on the
sled for about 100 miles before It
died. breaking trail himself with a
rope attached to the sled from his
waist.
when we picked him up, Hartman
could hardly move from fatigue, but
he was still in the race. We helped
him as best we could.
"All along the line people crowded
around him and made him presents.
He shipped home to Winnipeg about
$4,000 worth OF fur coats, sweaters,
mittens, and odd stuff given to him
on the road.
Dumont On the Stage.
After the race was over Hartman
was given a theatrical contract for
$500 q week to show In st. Paul and
Minneapolis, making a little speech
that told of his hardships and why
he stuck IL out to the finish.
"One Of Hartman's dogs died after
the race from exhaustion and an
other was stolen from the stable in
which II was kept, but the other two
took part in the show. led them on
and off the stage. That was my duty
in the act, the first and only time
have ever been on the stage.
For twenty-five miles a moving
picture man rode along in front OF us,
taking pictures, and, though my
friends will hardly recognize me, I'm
in that picture. I'm all bundled up in
sweater, but my mother saw the
picture and knew me at once. I guess
that's a way with mothers every
where"
So II you see that picture OF the
great dog race, look for George Du-
mont. He's in II.

teams of last year are getting in line for
the coming season. The Treasury club.

combi1ati ton that carried 1t to victory in

Unless some league comes forYard
with a handsome offer. Dick Woodward.

has a heavy schedule of college games

has encountered difficulty working in
these and keeping job in an amateur
league at the same time.

G Rookie to Pay Richmond and Then Sign
BOB THAYER'S GOSSIP
ON SPORTING MATTERS

From time to time our attention is
attracted by some remarkable feat of
endurance. In nearly every instance
1t Is that an athlete has maintained
strenuous muscular actiorr through
out a long period, such as sw inning
thlrty miles or so, or swinging dumb
bells for several days at q stretch.
But now we. have Something out Of
the ordinary. It is an endurance
stunt OF the brain.
Frank J. Marshall, United States
chess champion, played IA games
simultaneously in a recent exhibition
in Buffalo, N. Y. He lost one, drew
twelve, and won 131. Moving from
player to player and manipulating
the pieces for many hours, Marshalls
brain was taxed every second. New
situations to figure out, new problems
to solve met him at every turn. Yet,
so consistently active was ais mind
during the exhibition, that only one
opponent was able to win, and many
of those who opposed the champion
were strong players.
Unless one has played chess, 1t Is
difficult to fully comprehend Mar
shall's feat. One can play three or
four close games, with every atom OF
power concentrated in the
play, and become dizzy.
If the major leagues are to go
through with their plan OF military
instruction for ballplayers, which Is
an excellent idea as every one seems
to agree, why not do 1t in a whole
hearted manner? Several of the
clubs. including Washington, are be-
impatient over not having
received an instructor. II interest is
to be maintained in the military plan,
those who have the power should get
on the lob and unravel enough red
tape to hustle out those drill ser
geants. In ordor to make a success
OF such movements, interest must be
kept at a high pitch.
They'll be lifting babies out OF the
cradle next to mike fighters of them

MANY SEEK JOB
One Hundred Football Coaches Ap-
ply at Lafayette.

Ship owners seaching for sailors
to man vessels that must brave the
submarine zone, are overlooking n
good bet by not interviewing foot
ball coaches.
More than one hundred applica-
tions have been received for the posi-
ton of football coach at Lafayette
next fall. and since only one man
is wanted for the place, there are
some nInety-nIne huskies that can be
angled for by the steamship skip
pers.
Dutch Sommer, former Penn star,
appears the most likely candidate
for the Lafayette coachship, with
Punk" Bergman, Penn State alum
nus, second choice.

with a chance for victory.
No Money at Stake.
Heretofore all pocket billiard tour
naments conducted in this city have
been for strong players. With only a
few competing and these OF known
ability, they have at
tracted little interest, with the excep-
tion OF the last District championship
affair, which drew more spectators to
its games than any previous one.
No money will be at stake in tho
interroom tournament. 1t will be
conducted on as, near an amateur
basis as possible. The prizes will con-
sist of medals and merchandise.

Turn about is fair play" runs the
old adage. and the very essence of
real sportsmanship Is fair play. A
group of Eastern tennis stars are
now in Los Angeles meeting the pick
of the Pacific coast racquet wielders
in a series of matches arranged by
DR.. Sumner Hardy. president of the
Pacific States Tennis Association, or
the California Lawn Tennis Associa-
tion, as II Is now known.
And yet one week before the
matches began IL has announced at
the annual meeting Of the Pacific
coast organization that the executive
was at present considering
ways and means of discouraging the
star players from going East this sea-
son to take part in tournaments. The
reason given out was that California
wishes to show that Ii will do its
share in living up to the amateur
rule.
1t might be good thing for the
sport-for any sport-if the practice
OF allowing heavy expense accounts to
stars who come from a distance to
take part in a tournament or other ex-
was done away with. But
there is no denying the fact that the
East VS.. West matches are an attrac-
tive feature and the staging of them
is rather a feather In the cap Of the
organization that can put them over.

the boxing phenom of the age, little
bits of fellows have been putting
their fists up to the faces OF the big

Australia, where Snowy Baker rules
