WHY PEACE NEGOTIATIONS FAILED Proposed Erection of a Winter Race | Track at Hot Springs. CURRENT SPORTING NOTES A Cambridge, Mass., special dispatch to the Philadelphia Inquirer says: It seems that more has taken place in regard to the Harvard-Yale reconciliation than has been made public. Several members of the Har- vard athletic committee were seen today by your representative, and from them it was learned that negotiations are likely to stop at once. ‘The reason given is that Yale has shown no Gesire to compromise in any way. The Harvard crew managers had already ar- ranged the date for the race with Cornell when “Bob” Cook of Yale came to Cam- bridge to negotiate for a race. Mr. Cook contended that Harvard ought to row Yale the day after the Cornell race, and that the race between the crimson and the blue must be held at New London. The Harvard committee regarded this as too much, and were quite astonished at the idea of. two races close together. .Cvok, however, declined to change his mind in any way, and the egotiations were stop- ped. So much talk has been circulated on the subject that the Harvard committee has determined to make an offictal public statement. This statement will not be made until after the next meeting of tho com- mittee, which “will probably occur reat week. A gentleman prominent in athletics at Harvard, and one who has much influcuce in shaping Harvard's policy, expressed the opinion that Yale is afrald to row Har- vard this year, and Is playing for zym- pathy. It is the opinion in Cambridge that Yale is not showing the righ: spirit in this matter. ‘She Harvard committee declines absolut ly to make any statement in regard to the possibility of any spor:s with Yale in cace there {s no crew raze this r. The opin- ion, however, is thai in base ball ard track athletics the two rivals will mect again in the coming season. What Dr. Brasford Says. CAMBRIDGE, Mass., December 30.—An attempt to verify a rumor that Dr. W. A. Brooks of the Harvard athletic committee was in New York to confer with Walter Camp, representing Yale, has resulted in the disclosure of some important facts in con- nection with the Harvard-Yale athletic con- treversy. Dr. Brooks denies that he has been in New York, and refuses to discuss the situation, but Dr. Brasford, a faculty membe~ of the committee, characterizes as preposterous Yale’s demand that the Har- vard-Yale boat race should be held on a date decided upon by the Yale authorities. ‘This date was announced by “Bob” Cook, who recently made a flying trip to Cam- bridge, to be the day after the Cornell race. Mr. Cook further sought to dictate, Dr. Brasford asserts, that the race be held at New London, saying that Yale refused to rcw anywhere else. Dr. Brasford said that aside from the absolute physical impossi- blity for Harvard to row Yale at New Haven on the day after the Cornell race, the autocratic spirit manifested on the part of Yale will not be submitted to by the Harvard authorities. Another member of the committee inti- mates that these late developments throw a new light upon Yale's position, which makes it appear that Yale is afraid to row either Cornell or Harvard. It is announced that the athletic committee will give a written statement, very soon. CARROLLS WON BOTH. Second Teams Bow! a Set of Tenpins at the Institute. The Carroll Institute and Washington Athletic Club secdnd teams rolled a set of tenpins on the alleys of the institute last night, the Carrolls winning both games, the first by 7% and the second by 84 pins.

Wealthy Tarfmen Proposes to Build a Track There. CINCINNATI, Ohfo, December 30.—A special to the Commercial Tribune from Little Rock, Ark., says: Capt. H. O. Price has a scheme in hand with a syndicate of wealthy turfmen and capitalists to invest $100,000 in a winter race track at Hot Springs. Price is now at the Springs, negotiating with property owners and hotel men, and if he arrives at satisfactory terms the scheme will mate- rialize. Ths syndicate proposes to build a fine track, « splendid grand stand and stable room for 800 horses. They guaran- tee to take 600 racers to the Springs, and race every day from about December 13 to March 15. They ask the citizens of Hot Springs to donate certain lands and to sub- scribe $3,000 per annum, to be divided into four $500 and one $1,000 stakes to be raced for on the proposed track. GOLF PRACTICE INDOORS. Willie Dunn Has Laid Out Links in Madison Square Garden. Willie Dunn, the professional golfer, has laid out golf links in the assembly room at Madison Square Garden, in New York. The room is 75 feet long, 30 feet wide and 28 feet high. It is laid out in such a man- her as to give novices a chance to learn the game and to get an idea of the proper man- ner of handling their sticks. At one end of the room is a net into which the ball can be driven. In the center of the room is a bunker made of wood. It is seven feet high and is to be used to teach beginners and even older players how to loft. The whole idea of indoor golf is to teach the old players and the new ones to drive, put and loft properly. Many of the best Players of the Lakewood, Balustrol, St. Andrew’s, Ardsley Casino and other clubs wil practice in the room under the eyes of Mr. Dunn, who will correct the faults of the old and direct the efforts of the new. In driving the player can swing with his whole strength, for the net will stop the ball. In lofting the same can be done. It is fcr this reason that indoor golf is beneficial to the player. His driving and lofting is done directly under the eyes of the instruc- tor and his faults are immediately correct- ed. In putting the bunker is removed and the player has the whole length of the room in waich to try for his hole.

The second day of tht tourney of the Wastington Golf Club yesterday was wit- nessed by as many spéctators as the open- ing day, while the matches were equally as interesting. The weather was as per- fect for the sport as could be wished, thovgh today the players will not find the meteorological conditions near so favor- able. The presence of a number of the fair sex encouraged the players to do their best. The score of yesterday’s games is as follows: P. M. Prescott beat W. S. Board- man, 4 up and 2 to play; James W. Lock- ett vanquished Ralph Jenkins, 6 up and 5 to play; wkile Horace Wylie defeated Geo. M. Dunn, 5 up and 4 to play. Wylie against Lockman and Lockett versus Presgolt qualified to play in the semi-finals. The tourney will probably close tomor- tow. A suitable trophy will be presented to the winner, while a_consolaticn prize has been decided upon. The ladies will not hold their golf tourney untli later in the season, and next Saturday a series of games will be played with the Baltimore golfers. SIX-DAY W. LKING MATCH.

MEXICO CITY, December 30.—The Mis- sourl State University team played a game of foot bail Tuesday at the Indianilla grounds, their contestants being the Texas State University team. Neither side scored in either the first or second half. One player named Tucker was scriously injured in the back of the neck by a kick. It is not known how badly he is hurt. The great elevation was seriously felt by the Piayers, who easily lost their wind. The spectators were mainly American and Eng- lish residents and ‘4 sprinkling of Mexican club men. t u ‘There is still talk of getting up a local team to contest with the: Missouri team on New Year day. * The Mexican dailies the nerally condemn recovering rapidly from his self-inflicted _——$—$ Store for rent!

He was in extremely good humor last evening at the Ice Palace, and chatted quite freely with a reporter for The Star. In his strong English accent, despite the fact that he is a native Irishman, he said: “The boys are putting up a very pretty game here, but they are working too hard. I am afraid poor old Schock is done for. A man has no business to start twice in a six-day race within a month. If a man is or for a prize he has to punish him- sel persons have asked me how recerds and “Several much flesh I lost in the week of the race in New York. I don’t know myself, for 1 didn’t weigh before starting. Not over five or six pounds, as I have nothing to lose after I train down to 160 pounds.” “What do you think of Rice, who ran next to you at New York?” he was asked. “He is a wonderful lad. All he lacked was head and age. If he had good training and good judgment he would have forced me to ride a great deal further than I did. Yes, I would have gone a good bit more. I kept myself twenty miles ahead, and when I got any further along I knocked off for a bit of sleep. “Rice Is a youngster. A man wants to be close on to thirty before he goes into a six-day race. He ought to be fully mature, so that he can stand the strain. It is al- most one form of suicide for a much younger man to take on that sort of pun- ishment.”” “When will you ride again?” “Probably at Chicago in February. Some chap is here today trying to fix it up. I don’t believe I will go unless I am pald a lump sum as an attraction. I don’t want to go in and depend entirely upon getting enly a piece of prize money. I am afraid that ‘f I got into a race where I would be pushed hard enough to worry me I might get off my wheel and tell them to fight it out among themselves, and I wouldn’t like to do that. But a man can’t tell what he will do when he is under such a terrible strain.” He was thunderstruck when he was told of the enormous size of the Coliseum at Chicago and its wonderful track, and said he hoped to have the pleasure of riding there, and would if the arrangements were satisfactory. The 200-Mile Record Broken. A. L. Hachenberger, brother of the well- known professional cyclist, yesterday at Denve> lowered the world’s record for 200 miles, riding it in fourteen hours and two minutes. —_—~—.— Marriage Licenses.
