90, Sir Martin, a son of Ogden and
Lady Sterling, by Hanover, was
overwhelmingly chosen the future
favorite for the 1909 English
Derby. His choice was based upon
merits he attained on the Ameri-
can turf, for unlike Foxbrough his
campaign began in the United
States. He did not race in England
until after Mr.. WinanS purchased
him at the close of his 2-year-old
form.
FOALED IN 1906
Bred by the late John E. Mad
den, he was foaled at Hamburg
Place, Kentucky, in 1906, and under
his colors this colt as a 2-year old
won the National Stallion Stakes,
Treat Trial and Flatbush Stakes.
He was then sold to Mr.. WinanS
for SIS, 900 and taken to England,
with the Derby as his chief objec-
tive.
Sir Martin developed into a mag
nificent 3-year-old and trained into
the best of condition for the Derby,

RULE CHANGES

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo,
Jan. 4 Q.N.S0.-With an all-time
safety record in the bag for the
1888 season, college football today
was headed for an even better
mark next year.
The rules committee of the Ma
tional Collegiate Athletic Associa-
ton closed its annual meeting in
Colorado Springs by adopting sew
eral new measures to safeguard
players.
Headguards and sofe knee pads
were made mandatory. A thicker
protective pa dding on thigh
guards was ordered and snub-
nosed cleats are to be used in
place of the sharper ones that
have been found to cause many
injuries.
The meeting was the shortest
on record and only two minor
changes were made in the play
ing rules. Following the recon-
mendation of the coaches in Chi
cago last week, the committee
lightened the penalty when a for
ward pass strikes an ineligible re-
ceiver (any lineman between the
ends).
Instead of losing the ball, the
offending team will be penalized
Is yards and a down. The ineli-
gible players. however, must re-
main in the line of scrimmage
until the pass is thrown.
The latter feature is expected
to open up backfield play with
more shovel passes behind the line
and increase yardage gained when
passes over the line are intercepted.

Chewacki says he was "fouled

Turner to prevent the Terror from

relatives to help combat the two
Terrors.

PETE DISPLAYS
PUNCH IN K.0. Of
TRANSPA AREN'T
BY FRANK BUCK" o'NEILL

4Ay ASAAANAA ~SN4A ~ ANA4AAA4
Petey Scalzo is ready for any
thing the featherweight division
has to send against him. He i;
even money to whip Leo Kodak
who right now ranks as the No.
pretender to the 126-pound cham
pionship. Petey has style and
punch and ability to fight his way
through the rugged moments of a
fight, when men prove themselves
one way or the other.
Scalzo knocked out Lou Trans
parent, of Baltimore, after seven
rounds of interesting if not ex
citing fighting at Turner's Arena
last night. He sent the Baltimore
boy down with a left hook and
short inside right the first time
for a count Of nine. It was a per
feet one-two punch.
ACME OF TIMING
The knockout punch was the
acme of timing. Scalzo went after
his dazed foeman swiftly, but not
with any show of excitement.
When Transparent clinched to
save himself, Scalzo stepped half a
stride to his own right and freed
his right hand. Then he drove his
starboard glove to Transparenti's
jaw and the victim dropped on
his back, out cold and through for
the evening. 1t was Scalzo's third
knockout victory, including his
hurricane triumph over Joey Arch
ibald.
Veteran observers of ring form
saw one of the prettieSt moves in
boxing as Scalzo set up his victim
for the coup d'etat. Late in the
fifth round Transparent swung a
left for the head. Scalzo took it
on his right forearm in a pretty
block, turned his wrist and dropped
staggering counter to his oppo-
nent's chin. Transparent never
recovered from that wallop, and
in the sixth, although he fought
hard, he ran into a Swishing left
to the solar plexus that put him
ack on his heels for the evening.
Scalzo was in front all the way.
He opened the fight with a flick
ing left to the face that soon drew
blood from his opponents nose.
Petey was just that split second
faster that makes the difference
between victory and defeat. In
the second round Transparent
had partially recovered from the
stage fright that gripped him fast
in the first couple of minutes, and
he landed a couple of whacking
lefts to the body. Scalzo, the mas
ter fighter, countered nicely and
was in no danger.
LA PORTE TRIMUPHS
In the third Transparent
showed at his best. He forced
the milling and did right well for
a minute or so. ScalZo tried with
both hands for a knockout and
several shots due to over
In the semifina1 match Sammy
La Porte won a decision over Petey
Powell after six rounds in which
Powell gave a fine exhibition of
artful lodging, but La Porte did
most of the fighting. La Porte
won on brute force. Not much
class.
Bob Wilson, the blonde thun-
derbolt" of other days, scored over
frankie Willis in a smashing
battle. Wilson had Willis on the
floor a couple of times and was
down once himself. Billy Selvage,
of Baltimore, outscrambled John
L. Sullivan, Of Richmond, in four
rounds, and Billy Banks defeated
Bob Brown in four rounds.

SECOND GAME OF
CAGE SERIES SET
FOR FRIDAY NIGHT
By PEDRO AGUILAR

Second of the three-game bas-
ketball championship between
Seafood Grill and u. S. Army
fives will be played Friday night
at the High School Gym.
Island City Basketball League
officials will attempt to secure a
referee and umpire for that con-
test. These game officials must
call the plays just as they see
them.
High school students and a few
,groWn-ups acted. ridiculously at
the second basketball game last
night at the High School Gym.
1t is suggested that if fans do
not wish or do not like the Sec
end game awhile the champion
ship series is being played, that
they quietly and orderly leave
the gymnasium.
1t seems as though some fans
would rather remain through the
second game to put out the lights
and become a nuisance in gen.
eral than to- leave and let those
fans who do wish to see the con-
test enjoy. it to the fullest.
We suggest stern discipline be
applied to the creators of nuiS-
ance similar to that which &C.
Cured last night.
