New York, Deo. 17—Fourteen teams of the fastest bicycle riders i the world were entered for the miduight start in ‘the 24th annual eix day race tonight in Madison Square Gerden. The field is smaller than in any pre- wished - to_avoid - accidents : through crowding by inexperienced riflers. This Year the Beriin or point sys- tem for places gained in five mile sprints, ten of which will take place each between § and 10 'clock, the final winners of cash prizes. The points .gained in these daily sprints will be added to the scores in the final sprint Saturday night. The plck-up rule will.be -strictly enforced and ev- ery rider will be compelled to_come to e full stop alongside the track, bafore re-entering the contest to relieve his team-mate. Following is & list of the names and make-up of the contesting teams: *American-.

The rec- ord for the first hour is 25 miles and six laps, made by Kaiser and eron in 1915, DEATH OF GIL KINNEY, FORMER YALE STAR. Kinney Was Third Sacker for 1907 Team—Coach of Basketball Team. The news of the death of Gilbert Kinney, former star third sackef on the Yale baseball team, captain of the 1907 nine and just entering upon his fourth year as basketball coach at Yale, came as a great surprise to the undergraduate body and a shock to his players, but not to those who talked with him when he was at New Haven coaching the basket tossers Wednesday nigh t At that time Gil, as he was generally known in athletic circles, complained of weakness and said that he intended to go up into northern New York state or the Canadian woods and see if he could regain some of his strength. He talked over plans for getting the equip- ment of the team together for the Christmas trip, and intended to return this week. He returned to New York Wednes- day night, and yesterday word was sent here that he had died suddenly following ap _attack of acute Rrigx% disease at his-home in New York City. He had“been in business for some time at_Bayonne, N. J. ‘While at Yale Kinney was a great baseball player and also one of the best basketball players who has ever represented the Blue upon the court. After Clarence Foster resigned as Dbasketball coach several years ago, Kinney was placed in the position of coach of the team, and he has been directing the play generally for the t three seasons. As a third baseman Kinney shone brilliantly, and his election to the captaincy of the 1307 nine was, well deserved. CORNELL REPLACES HARVARD ON CORNELL'S SCHEDULE. Beven Games to Be Played on Home Field. Tthaca, N. Y., Dec. 17.—The addition of Colgate and the absence of Har- vard are the outstanding features of the new Cornell schedule, announced today. All but two of ~ the nine games will be played at home, the ex- ceptions being the Michigan game at Ann Arbor and the contest with Penn- sylvania at Philadelphia. The game with Colgate will be the first between the two universities since 1912 and it promises to become one of the biggest football battles of the year in upstate New York. Rochester is added to the schedule after a long sbsence and Fordham gets the game between the Michigan and Pennsylvania contests that - last ~fall was filled by the Massachusetts Ag- gies. The echedule follows: September 9, Rochester at Ithaca; October 8, Oberlin at Ithaca; October 13, Williams at Ithaca; October 20, Colgate at Ithaca: October 27, Buck- nell at Ithaca; November 3, Carnegle Technical at Ithaca; November 10, Michigan at Ann Arbor; November 17, Fordham at Ithaca; - November 29, Pennsylvania at Philadelphta. - Noank Nuggets’ Reunion. The Noank Nuggets, who won the basketball championship of eastern Connecticut in 1912-13, are to hold their second reunion Dec. 23. Games will be arranged with the post team of Fort Terry, N. Y. and the Pratt High school team, and a game with the Old Lyme team also will be played. Last year when the boys held their reunion they won all the games ex- cept the one played with Fort Terry in the gymnasium at the fort, when the local five went down to defeat be- fore the fast post team in one of the most hotly contested games ever played at Fort Terry. A return game was played at Noank with the same team, which was won by the Nug- gets. With' the exception of Morrison, the players are at college. McQuarfe is at Yale, Patterson st Wesleyan, “Spicer and Ellis at Suffield, and Smith, who was manager of this quintet, is a stu- dent at the Rhode Island State college in Kingston GREGG GETS $17,000 FOR 24 HOURS’ WORK. Highest Priced Player in the History % of Baseball. Who is the highest pald player in baseball? Ty Cobb? Tris Speaker? It is none other than Vean Gregg, who occasionally, very occasionally, pitches & game for the Red Sox. champions of the world. Gregg was wished upon the Red Sox Iate in 1914 by the Indians, and Vean did little else than nurse his arm for the balance of the year. In 1915 and again last season @regg was almost useless to his club. The main chores e performed were those of the relief variety. In 1915 he worked to a de- cision in only six games; this vear it was five. = For performing in 11 complete com- bats in two years Gregg got his regu- lar salary—reported to be $5,000 a sea- son—and two cuts of the world’s series melon. That means approximately $17,000 for working about 20 hours in two years, or $850 every six minutes. If you have tears to shed, this is not the spot. FOOTBALL LETTERS GIVEN TO 15 AT RHODE ISLAND STATE. Good Prospect of a Next Season. ing Team Kingston, R. I, Dec. 16—Fifteen men have received their football letters at Rhode Island State college, the list in- cluding Captain LeBoeuf, Captain-elect Dodge, Call, McIntosh, Bartels, Gibbs, Melloy, Dunham, Murphy, Knott, O'Brien, Moore, Kimball, Greenhalgh and Manager Taylor. While the prospects for a winning team next year, because of the loss of several veterans due to graduation, are not bright, Coach Baldwin and Cap- tain-elect Dodge firmly believe that the undeveloped material will produce excellent candidates. The men who are to graduate next year are Captain LeBoeuf, McIntosh, Bartels, Gibbs and Dunham. SOCCER FOOTBALL RULES TO BE STRICTLY ENFORCED President Fernley Induced to With- draw Resignation. Newark, N. J., Dec. 17.—At a_ses- sion here of the United States Foot- ball Association; which governs ama- teur soccer football in this country, it was decided to enforce strictly all suspensions regardless of how severe- ly such disciplining of players affects a team. The delegates, representing eighteen national districts, unanimous- ly gave a vote of confldence to Presi- dent John Fernley of Pawtucket, R. L, and induced him to withdraw his resignatio nwhich he had tendered in [October.” The New Jersey state foot- ball aseciation was admitted to mem- bership. FORMER TRINITY STAR AT ST. ANSELM'S COLLEGE. George Brickley Entered New Hamp- shire College Last Week. Manchester, N. H,, Dec. 16.—One of the most prominent athletes in years to enter St. Anseim’s college is George. Brickley, the former Everett and Trin- ity football player. Brickley arrived a few days ago. His acquisition to the already excellent baseball timber at St. Anselm’s will mean extra strength for the Blue and White nine, which has prospects of having one of the strong- est teams in its history. YALE ANXIOUS FOR REVERSAL OF DATES Present Arrangement With Harvard Football Team Very Unsatisfactory —Princeton Joins Asking Crim- son to Switch on Will ‘Yale take advantage of her win over Harvard and m':kge a_strike to get some definite idea. of Harvard's stand on the proposition to have the Crimson play Princeton and the Elis two years in every three on successive Saturdays. . As it is now Princeton meets Har- vard and Yale on successive Satur- days; Yale meets Princeton and Har- vard’ on a simflar basis, while the Crimson has long had the edge be- cause it faces the Elis two weeks later than it does the Tigers, giving Harvard a fortnight to bring players round to form for the objective game with Yale. To Demand. Harvard’s loss to Yale places the latter in a position to demand a re- arrangement of her schedule with some chance of having her kick given consideration. Yale wants this pres- sure relieved, of this there is no doubt. She has asked for action before, only to be met with a stolid refusal Princeton desires to have her burden lightened ‘also. She stands with Yale on_the proposition. The Alumni Weekly at Princeton only last week editorially advised that the project again be placed for con- sideration before Harvard and Yale The Tigers in their anxiety to develop a winner believe that this step would Prow_one along the right lines. Theve propositions have been put to Harvard by Yale and Princeton be- fore Little attention has been paid to them at Cambridge because the Crim- son by virtue of its yearly wins wes in the position to do the dictating. Also direct service via-Key Westto all +Floida East and” West Cosst “Reserts, North River, New York—or call upon G. W. Adams, Depot Tk. Agt., | A. W. Pye, Passenger Traffic_Manager, Clyde-Mallory Lines, Norwich. s;fi'iism “That is your business, not ours,” was the sum and substance of the reply. Thanksgiving Game. One of the two propositions that have beell sent to Cambridge is that Harvard and Yale meet on Thanks- siving day, with the Yale. Princeton contest being held 10 days before this date, ‘and the ‘Harvard-Princeton match about a fortnight bpefore the Tigers and- Blue clash. { The most practical. proposition i one where each of the three colleges will be given equal consideration. As it is now Harvard each season enjoys & fortnight's rest between her crucial games; “this_advantage under the ar- rangement Yale and Princeton have in mind would be equally divided. One year Harvard would have the fortnight advantage, then Princeton, then Yale. It is a mighty. fair propo- sal and nd man with an open mind can deny it. Harvard in insisting in its present advantage seems to allow its sense of falr play to be shrouded by a desire to win at any cost . Has Chance Now. Yale has her chance now and is ex- pected to make the most of it. = Har- vard is going ahead, however, on the Dellef that the arrangement that has. ruled for several years will still con- tinue in force. If the Elis have for- warded hints that they believe more triendly feeling between the Crimson and its two great rivals would be the result of some such arrangement, they are not saying anything about it here. Harvard is marking time and will continue to do so undess brought to a sudden halt by some combined objec- tion to the present arrangement that handicaps Yale and Princeton to the advantage of the Crimson. WEEGHMAN FAVORS LADIES' DAY AT NATIONAL PARKS. Chicago President Will Urge Plan at Annual Meeting in New York. Charles H. Weeghman, president of the Chicago elub of the National league, has announced that he will urge his fellow. owners to sanction la- dies’ day at the annual meeting of the league in New York next Monday. One day a week on which women should be admitted frce to the ball parks is an essential. especially in cities where the practice is followed by the American Jeague, in the opinion of Mr. Weeghman. “ do not intend to request the league to sct aside any varticular day,” he said. “That should he decided by the owners., The wttendance of the ladies should be appreciated. however, and I believe they,plan is an important one.” FULTZ'S CHARGES DENIED INew York Americans Declare Pitcher Keating Received Full Salary. Jacob Ruppert, president of the New American _leasue baschall ciub, has denied that the club had taken ad- vantage of the disability clause*in the contruct of Player Ray Keating, as charsed recently by David Fuitz, pres- ident of the Players’ Fraternity, and had not paid Keating in full. Keating, according to a statement made by Ruppert, ched in _ninc games during the first two months of the 1916 seeson. i.ater, after p! cians had examined the pl: expense of the New York ciub, Keat- ing, the owner the Yankees de- clared, received his salary, which was $5,000 for the seas The. case of Player Vance, he added, did not concern the New Yor cans. but was a matter between and the Columbus Ameri tion club, which took over the play- er's contract at the beginning of the 1916 season.

SPORT NOTES. Joe Egan surprised many by lasting the full route against Jeff Smith. The old game of baseball is getting its annual dusting and cleaning. The owners, at least some of them, will get their cleaning a little later. Gunboat Smith thinks Willard a bet- ter man that Carpentier. Yet the Frenchman knocked mm down while Willard lost the decision to Smith. If the report proves authentic that Mis Edith Beck, of Pittsburgh, re- cently swam 100 yards with the bre: stroke in 1 minute 16 second: beyond question the epeediest girl in the country at this style of natation. Andy Kelly, the New England inter- collegiate champion sprinter, is now practicing with the Holy Cross track team daily. This should put a quietus on those tales about Kelly not being enrolled in the Worcester institution this season. As yet the TIrish-Americat A. C. which is said to be going to get back in the running, and the Coast Artillery Corps haye made no announcement about rurning any indoor games. It is safe to say, though, that the Coast Artillery games will be held. Jimmy Henigan has abandoned all 1 and has brought to & slose his best running season. Too by that the Dor- chester lad cannot display , the same form on the boards. He appéars to be distinctly an outdoor road performer. Brown was paid an unique tribute when the Crimson decided to change ! the date of the Brown game from the Saturday before the Yale game to four | weeks before the big contest. Brown's strength last season was such that the Crimson couid not very well afforde to take any chances. Imported baseballs for use on Amer- lcan diamonds hereafter must -be stamped with the name of the coun try in which they were manufactured. The treasury department has that stamping the name of the origin- ating country on cartonée in which the balls are packed is insufficient to meet the requirements of the law. SATURDAY’S MARKET Bethlehem Steel Made a Reécovery of 25 Points During Short Session. New York, Dec. 16.—Additional re- coveries today of 2 to 5 points in stocks recently under pressure, with & rally of 25 points in Bethlehem Steel were due mainly to a hasty covering movement by the shorts and no little buying, particularly of rails by in- vestors and operators who seemed to teel that the hysteria of the last few days had run its course. A more potent factor in the rise of special stocks was the belief that peace negotiations between the war- ring nations of Europe are vet some time off. Today’s further rallies in- cluded United States and Lackawanna Steels, the former making an extreme gain of 2 1-2 points on its uscual larze overturn, 3 to almost 5 points in ship- pings, as much and more for leading equipments such as American _and Baldwin Locomotives and New York Air Brake, 2 to 3 points in coppers and other metals and 3 to 5 points in Central Leather, Industrial Alcohol end International Paper. Far more convincing, however, was the sustained movement in rails, low grade issues @f the roads traversing southern and southwestern states be- ing the foremost features. Southern Railway common and preferred, Sea- board Air Line issues, Missc Kan- sas and Texas issues, Missouri, Kan- sas ICty Southern and Texas Pacific were 2 to 3 1-2 points higher on steady accumaulation. Standard shares were relatively less active bui strong. Reading and other coalers, , Atchison, New York Central, Union Pacific, Diinois Central, Atlan- tic Coast Line and New Haven mak- ing extreme gains of 1 to 2 points. Total sales amounted to 50,000 shares. The bank statement was in keeping with genera] estimates, snowinz a large actual cash gain and another expansion of -reserves, of more than $20,000,000, 2 total of over $53,000,090 In_the past fortnight. The markets for forelgn exchange were nominal but mainly lower, re- Heoting latest peace discussions. Bonds were irregular on limited dealings. Total sales par value ag- gregated $1,975,000. U.
