Walter Rutt, the big-blonde German who has twice previously figured on | winning team in the annual six day | bicyele race. at Madison Square Ga | den, flashed across the finish line Sat- |urday night the length of his wheel ahead of John Bedell, in the final | sprint of one mile, thus glving himself | ana Joe Fogler first money. Jackie Clarke, the Australian, was third, a | length and a half behind Bedell, and | Root, Drobach and Grenda finished | closely bunched in that order. The, final | mile was the fastest ever ridden at the | conclusion of a six day contest, Rutt coming over the line in 2m. 9 4-5 Clarke set out to hit up a terrific pace instead of indulging in the usuel loafing tactics and many fans thought that he made a big mistake- by so do- ng. For seven laps the order was | Clarke, Rutt, Bedell, Grenda, Root and Drobach. At the beginning of the eighth circuit Rott tried to jump the fleld, but the German was on the alert and he rushed out to the front. As the bell rang for the last lap Rutt was leading Bedell by the bare length of his wheel, while Clarke was hang- ing on doggedly a few feet back, The pace had been so fast that there was ance for anyone to make a quick k to the last line and the riders finished the procession just as it had been going for three laps. Drobach and Grenda were very close together and until the announcement was made y thought that the Australian had won fifth prize. Following the decision of the tie among the six leaders Frank Kramer and Andre Perchicot, the Frenchman, came to the track fo decide the tie between their teams for seventh or eighth place. This contest was a tpy- ical match race. For more than half the distance the two of them rode on flat_surface, with Kramer in the The American jumped his wheel to the saucer in the sixth lap and the Frenchman around to the Perchicot could never make a move until the pair had reached the home stretch. Then he came rough with a rush, fairly lifting his bicycle from the track and coming within an ace of nipping the American champion in the last ten feet. The time r this mile was 3m. 45 1-5s. he leaders covered 2,661 miles and | laps, far behing the old record of | 12,737 miles, 1 lap made by McFarland |and Mora in1908. Joe Fogler, the Brooklyn man, who figured as the winner last night with Rutt, won with die Root in 1905, and the same team repeated the year following. Last vear, with Jackie Clarke as a_partner, Fogler was a winner, too. In 1907 Fogler and Moran were second, and in 1909 he and Root were the runners-up. The year follow- ing Fogler and Hill were third. His cord as a six day rider- therefore, the best of any man still active in the game. Rutt won with Stol, a Bel- gian, in 1907, and with Clarke in 1909 as’ again a victor. In 1908, with ol, he was second and finished in that position with Clarke in 1910. The winners received in addition to their bonuses $1,600 in prize money. The other prizes were $1,000, $750, $550, $400, $300, $250 and’ $260. In bonus money the monagement pald out $19,060. Lovell Sets New Record. Two unusual performances featured the annual athletic meet of the Fqur- teenth regiment in its armo in Brooklyn, Saturday night. Ike Lov- | ell, of the Irish-American Athletic as- sociation, won the fifty yard low hurdle race, over ten flights of 2 feet, 6 | ba inches, In 6 8-5 seconds, and clipped one-fifth of a second off the record set years ago by H. Griffin, of the Chi- cago Athletic association. In-the one mile handicap run Abel R. Kiviat, the | national champion, came home in front from scratch in the fast time of 4m. 28 3-5s. Kiviat's companion on scratelt in the mile was Melvin W. Sheppard, but the latter reetired from the race ahort- ly aftgr passing the three-quarter mark. % Taftville vs. New London. Monday night the Taftville- basket- ball team will start oft for Noank in a touring car, leaving Taftville about 615 o'clock: They are preparing to | defeat the Lobsters as they did last Tuesday evening, when the score Te- sulted In 18 1-2 baskets for Taftville and 5 baskets for Noank. On Tuesday evening they will meet New London in Parish hall, Taftville, when one of the fastest games of the season may be counted upon as Vick- ery, Arnold and Doyle, three of New London's strongest defenders, will play. Last year when these two teams met the Taftville boys had a hard problem’ to solve in the quick moves of the New Londoners, but succeeded in defeating them by one basket. A large crowd is expected to be present as many have been waiting patiently for this game to take place. Inter-school Basketball for Girls. Ithaca, N. Y., D& 15—The athletic council at Sage college has decreed that the women students at Cornell cannot play basketball with other col- leges.. Dr. Esther Parker, the women's medical adviser, sald today that the nervous strain is too great. Basket- bail is the most violent form of exer- cise, next to rowing, in the girls’ col- lege, she says, and she will permit the game between local classes only. Tigers Not to Meet Cornell. Princeton, N. J., Dec. 15—Announce- ment Wi made here tonight to the effect that for the first time in_elght years Princeton will not meet Cornell on the cinder. path next spring. The track team is financially a losing prop- osition and the expense of transport- ing the team from here to Ithaca was given as the Tigers’ reason for drop- ping Corneil from their schedule. BRICKLEY'S CAREER. Much of Harvard Star's Football Knowledge Gained While'at Everett High. “Almost every man who has been successful in business or sport gener- ally owes position to the man or men who gave him his start” writes John J. Hallahan 'in the Boston Har- ald. *“After the start and the rudi- mentary stages have been passed, it is an easy matter to develop farther, providing of course the individual Shows interest in the undertaking. As a rule the ones who have been instrumental in the development of successful men aare overlooked or for- gotten with the progress of the in- dividual. But with the rise of Char- ley Brickley, the great Harvard foot- bail plaver,’ to that standard which makes him known from coast to coast as a great plgskin chaser, it 18 mot generally known that Harry Dame and Cleo O'Donnell are in a large measure responsible for the start of his Te- markable career. “Brickley's football experfence dates eight years. He reported to Coach Harry Dame of Everett high. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL TRADING ON SMALL SCALE. No Selling Pressure but Lack of Con- | fidence on Part of Traders. ! York, Dec. 14—The market | easy.

May July | CORN— LT 4% 89 6% an 8% n 2% ‘While Brickley &id net do any re- markable stunts in his first season he showed that he had great possibilities and that he had natural ability, This latter is what Dame liked very much. Brickley was placed in the backfleld, and while he failed to show up as well on the defensive as the offensive, he dlsplayed speed and kicking ability which, if developed, would some day make him a star. For four years under Dame, Brickley improved. He bad the facuty of getting hurt casily, being somewhat brittle. As he grew older the now famous crimson star grey stromger. His best work was done in carrying the ball and in drop kicking. “Brickley, with his natural style, was not as clever as some of the other school stars during his first three| vears, but In his fourth semson he made such remarkable strides that success was ‘only & matter of time. There was a change of coaches at Bverett high in 1909, and Cleo O'Don- nell, the old Holy Cross captain and end, was chosen to take Dame's place as director of athletics, in which de- parimént football was given much attention. O'Donmell immediately saw that Brickley's weakness was in de- fense and his faflure to help the runner with his Interference. His kicking also showed flaws. O'Donnell was a student of the game, having learned his first knowledge of the duties of a football player at Boston Latin schoet when the purple and white had an unbeatable eleven, and be readily saw the plemishes in Brick- |ley's work. Fe began to eradicate them, and in 1909 Everett high had one of the strongest teams in New England, being beaten by ome point | by Somerville high for the Greater Boston championship in a post-season game. Brickley showed wonderful im- | provement and owes his success to the coaching he received at Everett high school. “Brickley in 1910 went to Exeter, when that team was easily defeated by Andover. Brickley was handicapped Quring the season as a ‘prep’ school player, his ankle being injured almost the entire season. The Granite state academy, however, realized that he was {a great player, although Brickley claims that the ‘coaching he received at Everett high school under Dame and O'Donnell, and espectally by the laatter, was equal to what was given him af Exeter. “After graduating from Exeter, where he received high honors in ath- letics and_scholastic work, Brickley's rise to fame has been wonderful During hig freshmen year at Harvard in 1911 he performed well, but his crowning glory came this year, when throughout the season he showed him- self, with the possible exception of ‘Jim' Thorpe, the sensational Indian, to be the greatest player on the grid- iron. Briciley, belng a modest ath- lete, belleves that his success has been due'to the fundamental knowledge re- ceived at Everett high.” | | HANDLE SMALL SQUADS. Jake Stahl Does Not Believe in Tak- ing Army of Players to the “South for Training. When Jake Stahl pitched camp at Hot Springs, Ark, March 10 Jast, his flock of Boston American athletes to- taled an even 30, himself included.! He had been willed a right snug outflt. | The old Req Sox had disappointed a | couple of times under the manage- ment of Patsy Donovan and Fred | Lake, but they were always considered | ferocious and a team that didn't re- | quire a whole lot of changing to be transferred into a pennant winner. Stahl and McAleer had splendid for- tune with their young talemt. They didn’t have very many results, as was proven by their abbreviated army of 30 youths, Manager Jake _included, that lined up for work in the spring. The Red Sox suffered but four releases during the month's stay in Arkansas. Infielders Jack Lewis, “Shinn and Goodman, and Pitcher Anderson were the only ones to feel the ax. Later, some time in’ May, Pitchers Bushel- man, Hagerman and Leonard were planted. That reduced the squad to 23 members. Eddie Cicotte was later solq to the White Sox, but the count remained 23 when Emergency Infield- er Ball was picked up. Stahl argued last winter that foolish was the big league skipper who tried | to work with a squad of over 30 men | in southland. His dope was right; | in fact, by gaining his great triumph | of putting a world’s champlonship | member over the plate in a year's| time, Sir Jacob had every argument | proven proper. Looking back on the | way Stahl handled his warriors last | March and the gleeful luck he exper- | ienced all summer, he is a trainer | par excellence. Stahl was on deck 10 days in advance of his squad. Bill Carrigan ang Clyde Engel, not to men- tion Anderson, a young pitcher, joined him early. The Red Sox skipper was both a baseball and football hero 'when a student at the university of Illinols, His tutor was George Huff, the west's Mique Murphy. Stahl doubtless swiped a lot of Huff's training stuff. Anyhow, the Red Sox took longer runs than the Pirates, Phillies or Dodgers. They were always up in the mountains. There were two runs dally and early on the training trip the runs were con- sidered far more important than ac- | tive work on the diamond at Majestic | park. Once the Red Sox got at it in earnest on the ball fleld they were all at_welght and physically fit. If Freq Clarke, boss of the Pittsbus Buccaneers, says the word, Arkansa Hot Springs is going to be the scer of some very spicy baseball ne: March. Mr. McRoy states that his team would like nothing better than to book -a_three or five game series | with the Pirates. Pittsburg has been going to Hot Springs for 12 succes- sive years. B. Dreyfuss, while he has never favored any spring scraps, won't cross Clarke in the matter should the | Pirate chief accept Jake Stahl's defl, It would not only mean big money for both clubs, but great practice as well, and a Pittsburg triumph wouldn't do the Pirates any harm in their early shows in the National league grind. The Boston crowd is to be’compli- mented for throwing its chapeau in the circle, It is the owner of a cham- pionship crown that talks, but won't take a chance that disgusts the D. O. P. All Arkansas wanis to see the Red Sox and Pirates go to war in March and, as the champions of the universe are willing, the challenged party should be enough of a sport to swing into line. ' The series, if booked, would serve as a great attraction to | the big mob of visitors always on deck in March. That s the big month at Hot Springs, the month when thé Useason” s’ at its height. A tidy bundle of kale would be made by the two clubs. Incidentally the tourlsts and natives would revel in the serles and Fred Clarke will disappoint hun- dreds of souls if he spurns the Boston chalienge, i AUTOMOBILE NOTES. _Great damage may be done to the tires by not carefully . avoiding the many causes of rapid wear when driv- ing.
