Mrs. Jarrett Cracks Century
Time in Lowering 150-
Yard Backstroke Mark.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
n II IAMI, Fla, December 81
hu Amazing Eleanor Holm Jar
w rett, who fouts serious train
ing yet swims away with
records, sought another new mark
today in the third annual national
Olympic stars aquatic meet in the
Miami Biltmore Pool.
Mrs. Jarrett, with scarcely 10 days
Of training since she competed in the
New York Derby at Jones Beach in
August, plunged in yesterday, opening
day of the three-day meet, and bet
tered her own world mark In the 150-
yard backstroke.
Lenore Kight, the Homestead, Pa,
flash; Katherine Rawls, Florida's great
all-around mermaid; Ralph Flanagan.
Miami schoolboy champion, and Alice
Bridges Of Uxbridge, Mass, all of
whom set new marks yesterday, also
planned record assaults.
Mrs. Jarrett swan the 150-yard
long course in So seconds fiat, 4/10
seconds under her standard, estab-
lished in 1882 over short course.
She fixed her sights today upon Miss
Bridges 50-yard backstroke record Of
1915.
En- route to the 150-yard record,
the Los Angeles mermaid passed the
1OO-yard mark in the new national
time of 1:104s, compared to her for
mer mark for that distance Of 1:113s.
This tandem performance sustained
her unusual record of having not
only won every race she has entered
since the Olympics, but of demolishing
the previous record as well.

FEDERAL ELEVEN WINS

RICHMOND, Va, December 81

ington Federals rallied in the second

the score. Jankowski counted the
deciding touchdown in the final
quarter. He slashed over from the
5-yard mark after long march in
which he, Bomba and Doose alter
mated at socking the line.

HOLE IS SQUARED
IF BALL HITS PIN
Problem in Woodmont Tilt,
Settled by U. S. G. A., Is
Unparalleled Here.
BY w, r. McCALLUM.

IT'S ALL rather involved and Fulton
Brylawski isn't satisfied with the
decision, but the United States
Golf Association has ruled that
when caddie is carrying double, with
one bag for each member of opposing
sides in a four-ball match, no penalty
is invoked if a ball strikes the pin
which he is holding.
1t happened at Woodmont some time
ago, and Rrylawski, who was interest
ed to the extent of a few dollars, wrote
the U. S. G. A. for decision in a
little circumstance which, so far as
we know, hasn't been paralleled in
golf around the Capital.
The players employed two caddies
who we're carrying double, and 1t so
happened that each caddy was carry
ing bags of team opponents. For ex-
ample one boy carried bags Of A and
c, while another carried the bags of
B and D, while A and B were partners
against c and D. The four players
were on the green and the one farthest
away putted, with one of the caddies
holding the flag. The putt was a
lengthy one, and it appeared at first
that the ball would be short, so the
caddy did not attempt to lift the pin
until just at the moment the ball
dropped over the lip Of the cup. In his
frantic haste to get the pin out the
boy pulled it quickly. and the ball,
catching the fanged edge of the pin,
was knocked about Is feet away from
the cup.
The question asked was: Does the
player have to putt the ball from
where it was knocked or is the ball
deemed to have holed out?"

Another Question Answered.

7 A ND here is new one, submitted
~ by Ward B. Mccarthy of Wash
ington. What happens" he
asks, "if a pitched ball comes down
on the lip of the cup on a soft green,
makes a hole in the green and wedges
on the outside rim of the cup in the
hole made by itself? The ball is
below the level of the cup, but is not
actually in the hole? Can it be
deemed to have holed out?"
In our opinion, it cannot, for the
cup is 4! inches in diameter, and if
the ball is outside the metal rim,
even though below the ground level,
it is in a hole more than AZ inches
in diameter, which is an illegal-sized
cup.

THREAT FOR DERBY
Chance Sun Also Gains At
tention Among Newest
3-Year.0Ids.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
n YEW YORK, December 31.-Al
nj 2-year-old thoroughbreds at
" midnight tonight become 81
year-olds and potential candi-
dates for the 1885 Kentucky Derby
the first big racing stake of the year
which brings together the classes of
the 3-year-old division.
The official birthday Of all race
horses, January l, finds two colts in
the forefront of speculation as to the
Derby result. They are Joseph E.
Widener's Chance Sun, winner of the
Belmont Futurity and leading money
winning juvenile, and Col. e. r. Brad
ley's Balladier, which raced magnifi-
Gently until he was forced to retire in
midseason.
Peace Chance Proves MettIe.
VXIIDENER'S 1884 Derby entry,
" Peace Chance, was off to a
poor start and lost, but his
worth was proved later when he won
the Belmont stakes. Peace Chance
was Widener's first Derby entrant in
several years.
Col. Bradley is perennial seeker
after Derby honors. His horses have
won four of them, a record, and Win
ter odds on Balladier indicate the
bookies think he has an excellent
chance to win a fifth.
Three fillies are conceded fair
chances to duplicate the feat of Re-
gret, only horse of her sex to win the
Derby. They are Calumet Farms Nell
lie Flag, Norman W. Churchs Toro
Nancy and c. v. Whitneys Motto.
Toro Nancy first may try for the
$10O, 900 Santa Anita Handicap, as she
has been nominated for the rich stake
on the Pacific Coast in February.
n FRS. ISABEL DODGE SLOANE
INI will try for her second derby
in a row with a fine colt,
Psychic Bid. Her Cavalcade won the
1884 Derby. Mrs. Payne Whitney's
Plat Eye, stablemate of the famed
Twenty Grand. is another leading
prospect among the colts.
The end of 1884 found Cavalcade
the leading money winner Of the year.
He was the first Kentucky Derby win
ner since Gallant Fox in 1880 to win
the 3-year-old championship.
Leading 2-year-old and 3-year-old
money winners of 1884 follow:

Bitter Fight Begets Friendship.

NOR 96 ROUNDS they fought even,
r under a broiling sun. Then
McClusky began to weaken.
Sullivan and his other hackers urged
him to stop. He refused and for six
rounds more the furious milling con-
tinued.
Let him keep on. I'm going to
kill him." said Hyer as the beaten
man staggered to the scratch for the
Tooth round.
Not until the 101st did McClusky go
down with broken collar bone, and
| fail to come back at the call of
time" The battle had lasted 2
hours and 56 minutes. Thenceforth,
Tom Hyer and Country McClusky
were the closest of friends.
The next year prize fighting received
a setback which threatened to cut
short the careers of both Sullivan and
Hyer. The big fight of the year was
between Chris Lilly and Tom Mccoy,
held 20 miles up the Hudson for 5000
side and with 1900 spectators, who
set out from New York in six steamers.
1t was a desperate fight from the be-
ginning. Lilly was a head-butting,
rough-andtumble fighter. He knock
ed Mccoy breathless in the forty ninth
round with head butt in the solar
plexus, from which the victim never
recovered. But they fought on. In
the Tooth round they were observed
exchanging insults. In the 112th Lii
| lyS seconds begged McCoy's hackers to
take their man out Of the ring to save
his life. He insisted on staying. They
battled on into the 120th round, when
Lilly tripped Mccoy and, as he went
down, showed his knee into his stom-
ach with all his strength Mccoy
could not rise. He died few minutes
| later.
This aroused a great deal of public
sentiment among both the native
Americans and the Irish, whom the
two fighters represented. Mccoy, the
| Irishman, was by far the more popular
of the two, and it was reported the
judges had offered to award him the
fight in the seventh round on a foul,
but that he had refused to accept it.,
although he had bet every cent he had
on himself. All the professionals" at
the fight were arrested, among them
Yankee Sullivan. He was sentenced
to two years in Jail. but was pardoned
on his promise to have nothing more
to do with prize-fighting. Myer got off
| with a reprimand, but both were
warned plainly that there would be no
such leniency another time.

~ That year a curious figure
landed at New York-a cocky
little Irishman with "close-cropped,
bullet-like head; fierce, glaring gray
eyes; square chin, high cheek bones
and fiat nose; big ears, thick neck,
a freckled face and reddish-brown
hair. He wore close-fitting, bottle
green velvet, cutaway coat; tight
legged corduroy breeches, high-cut
vest and spotted scarf with dia-
mond cluster stickpin."
The pugilistic fraternity was at the
docks to meet him, for this was none
other than the redoubtable James
Ambrose, alias Jim Brady, alias Gin
ger alias Yankee Sullivan, returning
to the land of his adoption after beat
ing the terrible Hammer Lane, con-
tender for the championship of Eng
land. Two years before he had made
his first appearance in America.
He was an escaped convict from
Australia, where he had been SEN
fenced to IA years penal servitude
after being publicly lashed on the
bare back with the cat-'o-nine- tails "
He had been exiled for felony" in
1927. Fighting or aiding in a prize
fight was a felony in England at the

against Vince Hammond, an Eng

terrific fight while it lasted, but Ham,
mond was no match for the Yankee. "
Then he whipped Tom Secor in 81
rounds and boxing professor named
Bell in "a rounds which lasted 88
minutes and furnished some of the
fastest fighting yet seen in America.
Sullivan's victories famed the
fight fever all over the East. Race
feeling was strong. The native

of the Irish. Their "hope" was the
sturdy young giant, Tom Hyer. son
of the Brooklyn butcher who prob
ably had been the first professional
American prize fighter. Hyer was
not ready to take on the redoubtable
Yankee. He refused to fight except
for a stake of $4,000, which Sullivan
could not raise.
Meanwhile, Hyer got experience
from his fight with one of the Saw
dust House gang, James McCleester,
alias Country McClusky, who ap-
peared in the ring with Sullivan as
his second. This battle, at Caldwells
Landing on the Hudson, was one of
the epic encounters of prize-ring his
tory. McClusky stripped for the ring
at 160, Hyer at 176 pounds. 1t was

that all blows or kicks were fair. The
only stipulation was that the fight be
by rounds and that after a knock
down the fallen man have 80 seconds
to come back to the scratch.

MINT JOB SLASH.
DENIED BY
MRS. ROSS

In answer to rumors Of whole
Aale discharges Of employees in
the Bureau of the Mint and its
affiliated offices, Mrs. Nellie Tay-
1oe Ross, Director of the Mint,
today denied that any such &C
ton was contemplated.
Coming on the heels Of an
announced dismissal of several
hundred Treasury Department
employees, and coupled with the
publicity incident to the status
Of some 900 alcohol tax unit
employees, reports had become
widespread that Mrs. Ross had
notified 300 temporary employees
Of her bureau and it's branches
that their services would not be
required after the first Of the
year.
Mrs. Ross pointed out that
there are less than fifty workers
In her Washington headquarters
at the Treasury, the administra-
tive center of the bureau.
The number of workers in the
mint and assay offices depends
principally on the demands felt
for coins, she stated. In this
connection, she added that the
Philadelphia Mint is now op-
Grating on three-Shift basis
and probably will continue to
do so for some time. At other
centers, there doubtless will be
q seasonal falling off in coin
age activity.
