SS ee OTHER SPORTING MATTERS But one favorite, Trillo, won at the Ben- ning track yesterday, the fifth day of the autumn meeting of the Washington Jockey Club, the remaining four races going to comparative outsiders. The attendance was little affected by the disagreeable weather, and the track was far from slow. Jockey Sims furnished the feature of the day, be- ing fined $200, relieved of his badge. sus- pended for the remainder of the meeting, and his case sent on to the Jockey Club. Sims rode Tremargo in the first race, and complained to the stewards that the horse was not in condition for a race before go- ing to the post. The stewards refused to excuse the horse, and he finished fourth, although he was made an equal favorite with Diminutive at 5 to 2. Sims was told that Menges, the owner of the stable, had questioned his honesty in the race and the jockey struck him. Jockey Maher, wio had been set down for the week, apolo- gized to the stewards and will bz allowed to ride today, as will Jockey Moody. 4°. D. Beard’s stable, in Floraline, furatshed an- other long shot, the horse winning the hur- die race at 15 to 1. J. J. McCafferty in the last race landed a winner in Ben Ronald. The rumor that the officiais of the club and the speculators would be arrested for alleged violation of the gambling laws did not interfere in the ightest way with racing or speculation, the officials of the organization stating that the meeting would be continued and that they are quite wil ing and ready to have the question judici- ally determined. The foliowing is a summary of the day's racing: First race, six furlongs—Bony Boy, 4 to 1, won; Tabouret, 6 to 1, second; Diminu- tive, 5 to 2, third. Time, 1.16 1-0. Second race, five furlongs—Iyrah, 10 to J, won; Meddlesome, 2 to 1, second; Rare Perfume, 6 to 5, third. Time, 1.03 3-5. Third race, one mile and three-fourths, Arez- hurdle race—Floraline, 15 to i, wor second; Hurry Up, 6 to 1, third. zo, 4 to Time, 3.20. Fourth race, seven furlongs—Trillo, 5 to 2, won; Loiterer, 5 to 1, second; Words- worth, 7 to 1, third. Time, 1.30 Fifth race, one mile—Ben ‘Ronald, 6 to 1, nd; Sensational, won; Jefferson, 3 to 1, sec’ % to 1, third. Time, 144 FREEMA) The Senatorial Slugger Indorses the Proposed Catching Rule. The recent proposition of J. Earle Wag- for a rule requiring the catcher to constantly play his position up behind the bat at the home 2 is being widely and favorably discussed. Some opinions on the ws. subject have alr ly been printed in Sport- ing Life. President Young is said to be an advocate of this cha while many Writers and players r. Wagner's proposition. The latest contribution to the seussion is furnished by Freeman, the Washington outtielder, who says: “I believe the ving of the catcher up behind the plate would improve the game in a marked ie. It would, first ¢ aM, keep thin the move, while I am sure it weuld crease the batting.

The directors of the New York Club voted to retain Joyce as man- ager of the team, but as Frecdman holds ana controls stock enough to overcome the votes of the other members of the com- pany, it is very much one-man affair. Freedman has not made up his mind whether he wants Joyce or not, and in the meantime the scrappy manager is guessing. He will not be out of a position long if ew York does hand him his walking pa- pers, as Manager Irwin of Washington thinks Joyce is an ideal captain and will gladly engage him to play first base for the Senators.—St. Louis Correspondent of Sporting Life IN he does CIRCLES. CHESS Mr. Harris continued his attempt to beat the band last Saturday night. At some- thing past 12 o'clock he had beaten success- ively O'Farrell, Hodges and Smith. By that time the rest of the gang were safely under “cover” in more senses than one. What a seductive way the old man has of snaring a victim. “Come on,” he will say, “it is early yet. I can only come up Si urday nights ond I want to keep up with the schedule. You've got me now, anyhow. I've been working every night this week Ull 12 o'clock and I have just played three games.

It is agreed to continue the match to ten games up if both players should gain six wins, and to call it a draw if beth should attain nine wins. The games will be played one every other day, Sun- days included, and will commence at 1: Pp. 'm. and continue to 12 o'clock, with an intermission of two hours and a half. Janowski has received a very hearty wel- come in New York and will be as weil wel- comed by the rest of the country when he makes his trip after the conclusion of his present match. He was born in Russian Poland in 1868, but has resided for many years in Paris, and is looked upor as the representative of French chess. He is said to be very modest in nranner, which, as has been said on a number of occasions, cannot be said of all really good chess players. He looks on Pillsbury and Lasker as of very near equal strength. Pillsbury as the more inventive in attack, Lasker as the more prudent in defense. Dr. Tarrasch announces that he will en- ter no more tournaments. He intend: however, to challenge Lasker for the world’s championship. Lasker does not credit this statement, but says that Ke is satisfied that the doctor will hold aloof from no first-class tourney. He won first prize in the Vienna tourney just closed. Is it pos- sible that he is working on the samo lines as a greenhorn in this city, who won a game from a more practical player? Later, when his friend proposed another game, he said: “Jones, I won the last game I played you, and I'll never play you again.” A match between the University of Penn- sylvania and Columbia College was won by Pennsylvania. Six contestants on each side played two rounds. Pennsylvania won four, Columbia two in the first round, giv- ing the former th> match, as the second rcund resulted three to three. Yale, Harvard, Columbia and Princeton Colleges have entered the annual intercol- lege tournament to be played in New York Christmas w Lasker, wh seriously sick some time since, has recovered, and is giving ex- hibitions at the various London clubs. He intends to mak a tour of the British prov- inces this winter, and to enter the London international tourney being arranged for next May.

Visitors to the detective bu- reau see the rogues’ gallery, hear the grew- some taies conn with the men and women whos? pictures make the collection, and as they pass out of the room through the wire screen which leads to the door but never see the scrap books. department these books ce, because they contain circulars which have been r ved other polics departments giving de scriptions of fugitives from justice and people who are “missing.” collection contains the descriptions of men who hav are of gr the from names and been captur- ed and are now doing “tim for their ds, and of some who are still at dodging and hiding and living in ant dread of being arrested. There are pictures with minute details as to per- sonal appearance, habits, manners and pe- culiarities of men in all walks of life who ar: wanted for all imaginable crimes, and a glance at the circulars shows how com- pletely the fugitive criminal must disguise himself to escape the detective. Beards may he taken off or allowed to grow, v ble scars may be conczaled and new’ scars may be made, the use of glasses may be dispensed with in some instances and glasses may be worn by those who do not require them, for the purpose of disguis>; features may be changed so that it would be difficult to recognize the person, and defects in speech or pronunciation may be conceald, but there are certain charac- teristics about most people which cannot be laid aside, and these are usually looked for in the police circulars by those who are on the alert for the fugitive. One of thes? circulars describes a runaway thief, giving all points as to age, height, complexion, eyes, etc., and contains also this remark: “Walks with head down and long stride; talks always in a deep, coars: tone and very slowly. He always strangles in drink- ing whisky.” A murderer is described as an “all-around bad man, who would steal lead pipe or biow a safe, and uses an oath with most every word. “This man,” says one circular, ‘will talk lcud and put on a bold front where he thinks people are timid, but when corner- ed he is a coward. He is a coward. Under the picture of a brutal looking, burly man who is wanted for murder 1s this information: “He will apply for york as a horseshoer and work a few days and then go on a drunk.” A careful description is given »f a mid- dle-aged man who is wanted for forgery, and under the head of “(General Remarks" the circular states: “Walks fast, with lop- ing step. Will raise his shoulders and throw his head back at intervals while engaged in conversation.” A man who was once wll known in so- celal and financial circles in the city where he lived, and who is now wanted there for embezzlement, is minutely described in a long circular which contains also a well- executed portrait of the fugitive: “He has the ways of a gentleman. Whil> sitting hi often places one foot under the chair." Among the hundreds who are spoken cf in the circulars the following is a sample of the “easy” kind, because the fugitiv> can by no means conceal his identity: “His mouth is a slit in his face. Has no Mps. His ears have no lobes. He arags bis feet when he walks, and has great difficulty in looking one square in th? face. He has never been in prison, but looks like a convict in citizen’s clothes. “That man,” said a police official, “must leave the country to keep out of the ‘pen.’ ” “This man’s weakness,” r2ads one circu- lar, “is neckties and jewelry.

From the Dundee X@vertixar. Capt. W. F. Mine of; the Dundee whaler Eclipse has for gnany, years taken a deep interest in the qyestign of ocean currents, and his experiments have frequently met with recognition from the British meteoro- logical authorities. the voyage from which he has just réturned Capt. Milne took eccasional opportunities of throwing over- board sealed bottles containing a note of the latitude and fongitiide of the particular spot, along with any other information, and requesting that fhe firfders should forward same either tothe American or British authorities. Nothing Has yet been heard of his half-dozen pottles so consigned to the deep on the last voyage of the Eclipse; but it is somewhat curious that, immediate- ly on Captain Milne’s return to Dundee this week, he should have received one of a rumber of messages thrown overboard by him during his previous cruise. On October 29, Ia07, Captain Milne gave to the waves a bottle containing the fol- lowing message: “Whaler Ectipse. To the finder. Please forward this to the meteoro- THERE 1S ACLASS OF PEOPLE Who are injured by. the use of coffee.

Z logical office, London, or Washington. Put over in latitude 63 degrees 22 minutes north, longitude 65 degrees 5 minutes west.” ‘The Eclipse was then 219 miles to the north and fully more than that distance to the west of Cape Farewell. Generally speaking, she was at the mouth of Davis strait. The bottle was picked up on August 4 by An- gus McIntyre between Barra Lighthouse and Hueskar Lighthouse, and not far from Ardmile Point. Instead of forwarding the message as requested, McIntyre, who lives at Boisdale, South Uist, sent it on to Cap- tain Milne at Dundee, and the captain in- tends forwarding it himself. The bottle in which the message was contained had drift- ed about 1,500 miles ere it found a rocky resting place on the shores of the Hebrides. it had probably been in the water for nine months and some days, so that it had been borne along at, as near as possible, five and a half miles a day. Perhaps the bottle might have been lying where it was found for a considerable time, but the possibility is bn a was found soon after reaching the islands. In 1897 Captain Milne had sent to him from Norway a similar message to that picked up at Uist. It was thrown over- board from the Eclipse during the home- ward voyage of 1896 at a point as near as possible half way across the At- lantic. Then again three years ago another Eclipse bottle was picked up at Egedes- munde, in Disko bay, on the west coast of Greenland. The curious thing about this message, however, was that it was thrown overboard from the whaler when she was away to the south and east of Cape Fare- well. This bottle must have been carried in a northwesterly direction to double the promontory, and then northerly to reach Disko. Why one bottle consigned to the water to the west of Cape Farewell should ae papeyey east, and ia raly be up on the Scotch coast, and another thrown overboard to the southeast of the ‘cape should seek its way up the coast of Greenland is a mystery which only those well versed in the study of ocean currents may be able to explain. LAKE PRINCETON. A Body of Water Recently Discover- ed in South America. From the New York Herald. Princeton University’s department of Palaeontology and geology has just received a report announcing the discovery of a lake by the second Patagonian expedition, which, under Prof. K. B. Hatcher and A. E. Scott, has been making scientific inves- tigations in the southern part of South America for the last eleven months. In the face of countless difficulties the expedition explored the country inland and northward for a distance of 900 miles from Tierra del Fuego and the Straits of Magel- lan. In latitude 42 degrees 30 minutes south, and longitude 72 degrees 15 minutes ‘west, at the base of the Andes, a beautiful lake, thirty miles in length, was discovered. This body of water has been named Lake Princeton. In the region of the new-found lake, and about midway between Lake Buenos Ayres and the headwaters of the River Chico, a new and exceedingly rich locality for verte- ‘rate fossils was discovered. In addition to considerable collections of specimens of the arts and manufactures of the different Indian tribes inhabiting nese regions, a splendid series of photographs were obtained, and a fairly complete dic- tionary of the Yahgan language has been compiled, as also a collection of their songs and traditions. The Yahgans are a tribe of Indians inhabiting the extreme soutaeast coast of Tierra del Fuego and the small islands to the southward about Cape Horn, and Darwin considered them the most de- etaded of all human beings. While at one time they were numerous, they are now on the verge of extinction, het L Given a good, sound, well-kept set of teeth. and almost any human face is pre- sentable.
