Original Affidavits Establishing New Records Were Lost. San Francisco, Cal, March 23—The documents necessary to obtain credit for two world's records made last year by California athletes were mailed to- day by the records committse of the Pacific Athletic association fo the sun- ilar committee of the Amateur Ath- letic union. The reason the two ath- letes have been so long in getting of- | ficial credit for their achievewents is | that the original afdavits were lost| and new ones had to be drawn. i Fred Keiley of the University of Southern CaliforLia ran the yard hurdles iz 15 seconds fiat at the Pa . fic conference meet at DBerkeley May 10 | last, setting a new Amer n record and tying the world’s record made by Forest Smithson of Portland, Ure., at the Olympic games in London n 1908. “This was one of the misplacel rezords. | The other was the indoor record tor | throwing the 56 pound weight for | height, made by Pat Donovan of ihe | San Francisco Pastime Athletic -iub last year.

New York, March 23.—An uneven course was pursued by the stock mar- ket today, but at the close prices were well above last week’s final range. The session was enlivened occasionally by | brief periods of active speculation, al- though most of the time the market iay quiet, with dealings restricted in greai part to operations of professional traders.

More than a week has rolled by | since Willie Ritchie and Ad Wolgast met in Milwaukee, but their battle is still the principal topic among sport- ing men, says James J. Corbett. Even Ritchie's hardest knockers—and a champion pugilist always has plenty— admit that the Californian never dis- appoints a crowd when he is in the ring. Willle can always be depended upon to put up an interesting battle, and, given a willing opponent of the Wolgast stripe, the spectators are sure to enjoy a fistic treat. Wolgast enter- ed the ring in Milwaukee last week trained to the minute. Wolgast's reward for his excellent showing will probably be a longer match with the champion. That he is entitled to it there can be no question. But he is fortunate that such an obliging person as Ritchie is seated upon the throne he once occupied. If Ritchie was inclined to give Ad a dose of the same kind of medicine the latter treated Nelson to, where would Adolph get off? However, I am not one who thinks Ad will defeat the champlon if thev come together in a 20-round bout. ‘In fact, I think exactly the opposite. i believe the longer the fight the less chance he will have. Ritchie begins slowly and gets better as a bout pro- gresses, and if Ad couldn't hold him even for 10 rounds it would seem that 20 rounds would spell defeat for him. In the match with Leach Cross—a dan- gerous man, too—the champion was going very strong at the finish, and unprejudiced eye witnesses of the Mil- waukee affair have informed me that he was strong as a bull when the bell rang for the end of the 10 round set-to with Wolgas SLOWEST HORSE AT POLE. A Scheme for Handicapping Trotters. search of entries for their grand circuit mectings, H. J. Kline, S. E. Dodson and Geprge Conner, secretaries of the Cleveland, Grand Rapids and Detroit associations, hit upon a scheme which they believe will provide a better way of racing fast record harness horses The plan is to handicap the horses, but in a new way, and trainers at Memphis and Lexington think well of it The idea is based somewhat upon the principles under which trac ath- are governed, as the horses will be placed so many feet the track, with the supposed one traveling on the outside. will be compelled to hold - the positjon the entire mile; thus horses drawing the outside places will have to travel further than the on pole. #hi old way of handicapping horses by placing one b of the other, with each horse traveling in the same alley the entire mile, there can be no heip- ing and the obfection of ha more horses from one stable or ownership competing in the same race is overcome. This vear many fast trot- ters are being “prepped” for the grand ‘While touring the southern states in | i t | | | nearer the is an improvement over the ng two or one circult, and if a majority of them get to the races it 1s believed this plan will | be found very satisfactory. NEW CREW COACHING | RULES AT CORNELL. Expected That Change Will Increase Interest in Rowing. The mnew crew coaching system at Cornell, which went into effect recent- ly. is expected materially to increase ! the interest of the student body as a whole in rowing. Under the arrange- ment between the athletic council and the intercollegiate board, the college crews art to be coached by John Hyle, under the direct supervision of Charles | Courtney. The new system will give | { the college oarsmen a regular coach and will assure them the daily advice of Courtne; Rowing under Courtney's ! instruction is likely to stimulate inter- est in the college crews and form al | better source of supply for the 'varsity | | boats than heretofore. By the new ar- | | rangement the number of men will be | | largely increased. ~The equipment of | | the university and college navies will| | be practically merged. i WEAK PITCHING STAFF Will Handicap Wesleyan—Work Out- | doors This Week. | == | Baseball practice, which started the | first of the month ,at Wesleyan uni- | | versity, is now coming along in fine | | shape, ‘and as soon as the present cold | snap is over the men will be put at! work out_of doors by Captain Win- chester. Much attention is being paid to developing the pitching staff, as the graduation of Bacon last June has left | the team lamentably weak in this de- | partment. The work the past few weeks has been of general nature, al- thougn considerable time has been | spent in_bunting. | The twirling staff at present consists | of five men, but Wescott, the varsit basketball player, is_expected to jc the squad this week, bringing the total up to six. Of the men, Captain Win- chester, Seeholzer, a sophomore, and Stanley, & junior, are showing up best, although Gridley and Brierly, members of the freshman class, may develop something later on. At the other end of the firing line, Dan Kenan, captain elect of the football team, is making a hard fight for the job, with Sargent, *16, and Chapin, '17, giving him a good rub. Other candidates are Kinsman, *16, and McLaury, 1 | { n | HEINE WAGNER LAID UP. Suffering from an Attack of Rheumat- ne Wagner may be lost to the Boston American club for the entire season.

FOOTBALL MAKES MORE MONEY THAN OTHER SPORTS. Baseball and Other Athletic Make Little Money. the 1913 season and a general review of all matters affecting the American league during the whole of 1913 and 1814 up to date of publication. The book also contains the revised and correct new uniform playing rules code for 1914 (with all changes noted in statistics for instant recognition), together with the 1914 championship -hedules of the American league, Na- tional league and various important minor leagues, Games The recent publication of the va= rious Tollege athletic associations’ an- nual financlal statement brings vivid- ly to mind again the large sums of money received and expended in the course of a vear for the support of 'varsity sport. These reports also point with unerring aim to the sports and competitions which, because of popular favor and attraction, not only pay for themselves, but carry the bur- den of others wherein the expedi- tures are far in excess of all receipts and subscriptions. Some vears ago, during the period when football was subjected to a bit- ter attack, & famous defender of the game declared boldly that football aespite all the sins charged against it, made possible all the college sports which the reformers were constantly comparing with the gridiron game, | much to the latter's detriment. That there has been little change in tle sit- uation in recent seasons is clearly evi- denced by these current athletic as- sociation financial reports. Football is still the big money maker and the sport that supplies the funds for the support of a majority of the other athletic teams each year, FEDS MAY HAVE FARM IN EASTERN ASSOCIATION.
