He was one of the men who composed the original New York Giants. There are many re- markable things about this remarkable old man, but to his wonderful achlevement in the realm of athletics he gives this one key: “I lived a clean life. I never touched liquor in any form, nor did I ever use tobacco. 1 always took care of myself. That's the reason I'm playing ball today, and that is the reason why I can enjoy the game. When I was a member of the big Jsague teams, 1 made good money and ved 1t. 1 did not sport It away as mapy the boys do now, who then find them- selves, when their playing days are over, with nothing to keep them from want.' The men who are living the reckiess life, ch as O'Rourke eschewed, are the men 0 in base ball, as in all other spheres of athletics, are giving out in their youth and falling short of the mark of greatness O'Rourke’ recipe Is identical with that tamiliar homily so often preached by the dique Farmer Burns, dean of the wrestling world. This old man at 60 is as fresh, as strong, as active and far more so than most of the wrestlers half his years. and if the fact is known, stands today the peer of any man in the business, except Gotch and possibly Hack- enschmidt, The Farmer's quaint preach- ment about his abstemious life is too well known to require repeating, but after all it 18 a wholesome sermon which young athletes must emulate If they expect to achieve ' what Burns and O'Rourke have achieved. And incidentally it appears that both these dauntless Celts in achleving athletlo greatness by conserving moral powers have not missed the acquisition of a #nug financial competence for the future. Other ball players and other wrestlers of at physical and mental powers have and gone, but many of them lacked this one element of greatness which Burns and O'Rourke possessed. In short they ‘waanted the good, hard sense to enable them to keep their heads as these two sturdy Irishmen have don: Both the O'Rourke and Burns example has not been in vain. Today, a8 never before, ball players and ‘wrestlers are sober, frugal men; indeed the charge of frugality might be preferred with some objection against some wrest- Ters. We are coming up to & erux in base bali law in this Kling case If the National Commission reinstates Kling It will sub- Ject all base ball go the peril of gommon contempt; it :}’lu éo misglon outlaws the great eatcher it will establish a precedent dnd warning beyond which no ball player will ever care to go. To exclude -from or] base ball such a brilllant player as Pon Kling would indeed be a blow to the 'gmme and mo doubt be a severe dis- appointment to thousands of fans. But base ball law must be upheld and respected if the game is to endure and it would be for better to sacrifice even Kling than to bring reproach upon officlal authority Kling deliberately jumped a contract and then played with outlaw clubs. This Is the highest crime in the category of base ball offenses. The fact that It was com mitted by one of the greatest players can- rm: possibly mitigate ‘the offense, but rither it tends to magnify it. If star players can violate law with perfect im- punity what is there to deter the most ordimary player? While we should naturally hate to see talent of the Kling sort cast aside, we cannot yield to the belief that it Kiing is found gullty it is either wise or safe to forego a penalty In his case. One thing is sure—if an object lesson of (his sort were made, the other Klings of the game—and Hal Chases—would be much slower the next time about jumiping con- tracts and rubbing It in by playing with outlaws. A. J. Flanner, for many years E\ux— of the Sporting News, and now of » office of Ban Johnson, has been com- issloned to gather the data and make the report to the commission in the Kling casc and we may confidently look for a fair and full basts for a verdict, at least, for ‘ . Flanner has no peer as a student and uthority in base ball. Flanner will, oourse, have nothing to do with f the deciston. steps taken at Grand Island toward 1§ organization of a state league In Ne- braska are’ encouraging. The spirit domi- nating the meeting was of the right sort and there appears to be lttle doubt of the new league getting a good start. It Is #o0d to have the personal backing of Presldent Rourke of Omaha, for his ripe experlence, sober judgment and standing in the world of base ball will be tangible assots most valuable in the management of the league. As The Ree has urged for several years, Nebraska affords a most fertile fleld for this sort of an organiza tion. It has the towns, the talent and the enthusiasm and we shall expeot to see the league a thorough success in the first year of its existence. of ning Our ol friend, Miner Brown, is a hold- out. Well, here's a wager that he'll be on hand when the first game is called. Re- member, Murphy has told us that things are gotirely in Chance's hands. Roger Bresnahan at least seems to be making some good trades. In which role he is sustaining the David Harum reputa tion of his predecessor, McCloskey By the way, let'’s hope ' that Omaha draws the Fourth of July, or Labor day or Decoration day, out of the schedule committee this year.

KEENE THE BIG CASH WINNER Horses Have Won More Than for Any Other Turfman. NEW YORK, Feb. 12.—James R. Keene's horses have won & total of $1,389,81 on the American turf in the last seven years and the vice chalrman of the Jockey club has a long lead over his rivals in this respect. In 1908 Mr. Keene won $30,160, but he stood eighth In the list of winning owners, S. 8. Brown leading that year with $30,630. In 1904 the Keene stable won $164,308 and ranked second to that of H. B. Duryea, which earned $200,107. The following year the Keene horses showed marked improve- ment, for they cleaned up $28,74 and placed thelr owner at the top. H. P. Whitney finished second that year with §170,447; Sidney Paget was third, with 197,08, and 8. 8. Brown was fourth with #1134 In 1906 Mr. Keene's earnings on the turf amounted to $155519, which again made him supreme, T. Hitchcpek, jr., being next In order, with $119,505. It was in 1%7 that Mr. Keene broke all American records, when his great string of racers won $397,- 342 Practically all the rich stakes were captured by them. Mr. Whitney was the nearest competitor that season, with $137,- M. Again in 1808, in spite of the fact that the Brighton stakes were declared off, the Keene thoroughbreds earned $252,075, more than $100,000 more than the amount won by John K. Madden, who stood second, with $17,817, August Belmont being third, with 14,00, and §. C. Gildreth fourth, §104,165. Last year, figuring on a campaign of twelve months as in other years, Mr Keene won $l11, while the veteran Hil- dreth surpassed him with § time specified above thirty leading Amer- ican owners were as follows: James R.

Because of the worid's fair to be held in Brussels, however, the Union Velocipedique Belge was v anx- fous to have the world's meet in that country. - They asked Mr. Breyer if his ‘um«aclmm'\ would have any objection to | withdrawing its application for 1910 for the | reason stated and apply for the mevt for | 1911 Mr. Breyer acquiesced, and as there | was no other applications for 1911, the meot tentatively wae awarded to America. { In accordance with the international | rules the meeting will last three days and | probably there will be representatives of lx-mnce, Germany, Denmark, Italy, Aus- | tralla, Great Britain, Belgium wud Hol- land, besides Amerca, to contest for the honors, although, of course, there can be no certainty regarding the character of the entry list. There has been no world’s champlonship In America since 1893, when tha first inte national meeting took place at Chicago. Upon that occasion Melntjes, the South African rider, won the 100 kilometers ama- teur/champlonship and Arthur Zimmerman captured both the mile and the ten-kilo- meter amateur titles. The professional titles did not begin until 1895 Since 1563 the world's champlonship meetings taken place as follows: Belglum, 1884 and 1905; Germany, 159, 1901, 1902 and 1%8; Den- mark, 1896, 1908 and 1%09; Scotland, 189 Austria, 1808; Canada, 189; France, 1900 and 1907; England, 1904, and Switzeriand, 1905, NO DECISION IN PLACE FOR ANNUAL BALLOON RACE Date is Fixed for Bighteenth of Octo- ber, but COity is Still in the Afr.

NEW YORK, Feb. 12—It begins to look as If Bugs Raymond, the king of all the spit ball pitchers and, incidentally, the un- disputed chalrman of the American Nut club, Is to be given one more chance. In. & letter from Chicago the Bugs tells the New York management that he has secured a seat on the water wagon and proposes to have himself tied there and fastened down with a time lock. Raymond was not blacklisted for his performance of last fall and there will be no trouble In his reinstatement If McGraw decldes that he can use him. It sesms improbable that Raymond will stick to the water cart for any length of time, but McGraw figures that if he 18 in pitching condition for the first half of the season he will glve the club a big boost. Last season Bugs won more games than any man on the club with the exception of Mathewson. He tried hard the first of the season, but toward the end he went back to his 0ld habits. He quit the club cold and took & job as bartender in a saloon on upper BEighth avenue. That arrangement was perfectly satisfactory to McGraw at the time, as he was tired of fooling with Raymond, anyway. It MeGraw feels inclined to worry over Raymond another six months the famous pitcher will get another chance. It is up to him to make good.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Feb. the long sandy waste at Daytona beach will be discolored again this year with the | gusolipe trall of racing automobiles was | made evident the other night. According |to an announcement made by the Florida | Bast Coast Automobile association a big motor speed ¢arnival will be staged on the famous beach raceway. the last week In March. The news came as a blg surprise to motorists all over the country. The regular | wintet' meet of the club was called off this year and it was supposed that the beach racing events for 1910 had been abandoned, altogether. However, the races the latter part of next month will take the place of the club's winter meet. The promoter Who arranged the carnival last year declared some thme ago that he would not be con- nected with a 1910 revival, declaring the proposition to be a financlal loss. It s r ported, however, that better monetary ar- rangements are assured this yearand that the races will be a big success. Judging from the number of “spéed mon- sters” that are in this country &t present, the beach should be the scene of high- speed tlights. The new foreign importa- tions for racing campaigns are well adapted for beach competition. Indeed it looks us though speeding like the old-time contests at the beach will be In order next month. It was stated that a sanction had not yet been applied for. However, the Daytona event would fit in very well in the racing schedule @s announced by the American Automoblle association. There is a track meet at Los Angeles on March 12 and 13. It would be a very easy trip over to the Florida coast In time for races during the last week of the month. BELMONT STAKES CUT IN HALF Extra Money Distributed Numerous Other Events. NEW’ YORK, Feb. 12.—Good news to horsemen is contalned in the announce- ment of the Westchester Racing assocla- ton that the historic Belmont stakes will probably be voluntarily reduced in value one-half this season. This means that there will be only $10,000 added instead of the annual $30,000. ‘At first glance It looks like bad news, but the additional state- ment that the $10,000 cut will be dis- tributed throughout the program for over night events changes the complexion in favor of the man with the ordinary horse. This announcement, however, can be nullified if a single one of the eleven or twelve nominators falls to agree to it. The reduction must be by unanimous agreement or not at all, but there s little reason to believe that any of the winners concerned will disagree. Of the eleven or twelve left in the rich event there are only three 3-year-olds that may be credited with any class, and these are James E.

Not that the so-called “Montana assassin” has lost any of his prowess as a ring fighter, but since the middiewelght champion came to the front Ketchel Is liks a ship in a storm that has lost her rudder.

CARTMELL GIVES UP RACING| Will Conch University of North Caro- | lina Track Team. PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. 12.—Nat Cartmell, the former Unlversity of Penn- sylvania sprinter declares that he is through with the competitive end of ath- leties for good. Cartmell will soon go| south to coach the University of North Carolina track team. He has no Intention, just mow at any rate, of running profes- sionally In this country. Until told of the scheme by Mike Murphy, his old trainer, he knew nothing of the proposed profes- slonal eireuit certain New Englanders are thinking of organizing. Cartmell was in England about eight months. In that time he engaged In al- most 100 races. From time to time word | of some of his wonderful feats on the cin- der path found its way to this country, but most of the reports were very vague. He recelved but little mention In the cables until he defeated Postle, the Australian | champlon, some weeks ago In a 20 match | race. | While on the other side Cartmell beat the | best sprinters in the world, both amateur | and professional. He met Walker, the| South African, who won the 100 meters | championship at the London Olympics, in one match at 100 yards, but was beaten by less than half a foot. Walker got the | jump on him at the start, and at sixty yards was leading by at least three yards. In the last rush to the tape Cartmell cut this down to & matter of a few Inches. After that Cartmell and Walker met at least ten times at distances ranging from 120 to 220 yards and each time Cartmell won. On July 3 last Cartmell defeated | Bobby Kerr, the Canadian, in the amateur 20 champlonship in 22 seconds flat. Kerr jumped into world-wide prominence a year and a half ago by winning the 200 meters champlonship at the Lsndon olympics, defeating the greatest sprinters in the world. Up to that time his reputa- tion had been confined mostly to Canada. He was known to be a good man, but was not thought good enough to beat any one of & number of Yankees.
