The challenge was forwarded by Nicholas Mishu, who is attached to the Rumanian Legation in London and who is the most noted of the players of his country, though not the cham- pion. Mishu wrote that he expects to play in the tournament, in company with the champion. Ascetic’s Silver, famous steeplechas- er and which won the Grand Nation- al at Liverpool for Prince Hatzfield in 1906, died recently at Folijan Park. He was trained and ridden by the Hon. A. Hastings in that notable race and defeated twenty-two opponents in the Tecord time of 9 minutes and 34 2-5 seconds, which alone stamped him as one of the greatest of cross-country performers.

Plans for a nation-wide organization to bring the proprietors of billiard rooms into closer co-operation for the betterment of the sport were laid re- cently at the tenth annual dinner of the New York Billiard Owners' As- sociation, held at the Hotel Astor. The New York owners, through their or- ganization, have, during the past de- cade, done so much to place billiards and pocket billiards on a higher plane than formerly that the desirability of a body of national scope has long been ‘apparent. “Dummy” Mack, a deaf mute box- er, has béen barred from boxing in Hazelton, Pa., because he couldn’t hear the bell at the end of the round. cording to last reports, the ponderous hurler, will leave for camp when the condition of his mother permits.

The new football rule against clip- ping is good as far as it goes, but it should be more comprehensive is the opinion of Coach Giimour Doble of Cornell. He does not approve of the elimination of the goal after touch- own. “Zip” Sloan; win puzzled the best of the Eastern League batsmen with large collection of rookies.

Princeton, Harvard and Yale have a triangular cross-country run, to be held over the Harvard six- mile course at Belmont on the morn- ing of the Princeton-Harvard football game—Nov. 11. Gustavus T. Kirby, Chairman of the American Olympic Committee, does not entertain any fears that the games will be held anywhere but in Paris, in spite of the recemt controversy which has been started through the action of the City of Paris on voting only 1,000,000 francs, instead of the promised 10,000000 francs, and the Municipal Council’s insistence that the games be held in the Pershing Stadi- um. Yale bassball work was actively started this week, when a squad of thirty-three players reported for prac- fielders and outfielders a second group. Head Coach Bernie Tommers and Captain Aldrich directed the drill which consisted of passing the ball and conditioning exercises for the fielders, and battery drill for ths pitchers and catchers.

American jockeys got off to a flying start in France, Monday at the open ing of the metropolitan horse racing season by winning three events. When the Brooklyn squad reported for the only workout of Monday at Southside Park this morning, Burleigh Grimes, last of the holdouts, was theze in uniform. The evident ambition of the spitball ace to get into condition pleased Manager Robinson mightily.
