PALTRY SlO0 FOR INFERNO.
Famous Canadian Stallion Draws
Few Bidders.

Toronto. Dec. 15.-There was a
touch of pathos to the recent Re-
pository sale when Inferno, who is
recognized as the greatest horse
ever foaled in Canada. was brought
into the ring. The record of the
once great racer, who during his
stud duties has developed a very
ugly disposition, is still green
among the patrons of the turf.
In 1905 he won the Kings Plate
and was returned winner of the
King Edward Gold Cup for three
successive years. beginning 1906. In
1907 he also won the Toronto Cup
at the Woodbine Spring meeting. In
addition he won numerous other
stakes at the Woodbine meeting and
around the Canadian circuit.
Therefore it was a big surprise
when this horse was offered for
auction and when the bidding was
over he was knocked down to a
Toronto man for a paltry 500. Later
in the day he was sold to another
party at an advance of s25.

MIXERS MEET
IN BALTIMORE
Loadman and Sharkey Will
Make Things Hum at
Albaugh's Friday.

Baltimore. Dec. 15.-Locai boxing
will doubtless get away to a good
start next Friday evening. when JACK
Sharkey. New York's best bantam
weight, and a prime factor In the
cnase for Pete Herman's crown,
clashes with Fighting Dick Loadman'
of Lockport, in a twelve-round contest
at Albaugh's Theater under the aus
pices of the Peerless Athletic Club.
Two more popular out-of-town knights
of the roped arena than Sharkey and
Loadman could not possibly have been
brought together at this time by the
Peerless Clubs hustling matchmaker,
AlNF'ried.
Patrons of the glove game know
that Loadman and Sharkey can and
will fight and there will be something
doi1f every moment they are In the
ring The contest will also bring to-
gether two vastly improved battlers
over their last appearance in this city.
as can be judged by Loadman's put
ting to sleep of Johnny Ertle in three
rounds in Milwaukee and the two vic
tories Sharkey scored on points over
Champion Hermann in ePhiladeiphia.
Both boys are graduates OF the ag-
gressive school of maulers and unless
the weisenheimers OF the fistic art are
away off in their line of dope 1t Will
be a slam-bang variety OF milling
from the time they step into the arena
until they leave 1t.
During the war Loadman and
Sharkey have been the most active
members of the bantam class. That
tney escaped the draft was because
they are married and have children.
Though Sharkey Is not yet Il. he is
the father of three children, and be-
fore he becomes of age he hopes to
have annexed the worlds honors from
Pete Herman. II he beats Loadman
he will be matched with Herman, the
encounter to be staged in New Or
leans next month, before Dominick
Tortorich's club in New Orleans.
The police board could not have
made a more popular selection for a
referee for Friday evenings mill than
when Frank (Pop) O'Brien, of Phila-
delphia was named. When the match
was first talked of both boys demand
ed that an out-of-town arbiter be
named, so with O'Brien already
chosen there will be no room for a
holler from the managers of the two
boys, Hugh Shannon. of Loadman.
and Joe Wagner. of Sharkey
O'Brien was regarded as one OF the
most competent ring officials in the
country. He was the referee for six
years ago at Olympia A A. in Phil
adelphia, and he is now associated
with the National A. A. of the same
city. of which Eilly Recap. the vet
eran editor of sports. is president.
o. Brien made a great impression in
his two appearances in the local
arena. these being in the Young
Chaney-Pete Herman and the Kid
Williamsburg CLANCY settos.
OBrIen knows the business from A
to and every boxer who has been in
the ring with him never overlooks
an opportunity to say a kind word
for the veteran Quaker.

matte interest by the contributions OF
exceptional histrionism on the part OF
a cast that deserves the designation
Of "aIl-star." Vanity Pool" the chief
attraction at Moores Strand Theater
the first four days of the week. must
be recognized By the discrimins ting
picture lover as one Of the distin-
guished film offerings OF the season.
Vanity Pool" is a subject that ov-
erlaps the opposing ends Of the social
scale: it bridges the chasm that yswns
between the squalor Of the tenements
and the spIendor of the palaces OF the
rich. The leading character, imperso-
mated with rare skill and charm by
Mary MacLaren. is a girl Of the lower
stratum who attracts the interest Of
a scion OF the sristocracy. The child
has dreamed Cinderella dreams which
this Prince Charming bids fair TO bring
true-until the veil Of adolescent ro-
manticism lifts and the urChin now
a woman realizes the folly OF her
hopes. Following complications that
lead TO scenes OF compelling interest
and strength comes a surprise de-
noUement that brings Cinderella a
Prince Charming after all In the sup
porting company are such stars OF
the first rank as Thomas Holding,
Anna Q. Nilsson. Franklin Farnum,
Winter Hall. Marin Sais. Frank
Brownlee and Virginia Chester.
In addition TO the news pictorial
and customary supplementary short
reel subjects, the first complete pic
lures of the surrendsg Of the German
battle feet TO the forces or the allied
powers are shown and a well chosen
and skillfully synchronized orchestral
accompaniment is provided.

Ban Johnson, president of the Amer

Chicago yesterday: Il hope the Ma
tIonal League will agree to our sug-
gestion as to playing a schedule of 40
games next season. 1t will result in a
financial saving. i'm my opinion. and
will furnish little more time for the
proper reorganization -Sf~-the teams
The American League owners were al
most unanimous in favor Of a shorter
schedule
1t is safe to say. judging from the
opinions expressed, that the ma jor
league season next year will begin
about May / and end about October l
The action of the American League
in reducing the player limit from
twenty five men to twenty-one does
not need confirmation of the joint ses-
sion, for, as John A. Heydler pointed
out, there has been a difference for
some time in the player limit of the
two leagues.
A good deal of the gossip anent he

from the fact that that club is to un.
dergo a business reorganization after

the coming reorganization and.that he
would remain with the club.
