There i “tavor, CLASSIC AUTO EVENT SURE After Year's Layoff Big Event is to Be Revived This Summer. | OCTOBER ‘IS THE TIME SET| Probable Race Will Be Held on the | Speedway at Long i, with Each Country's Entries Lim- fted to Three Cars. | NEW YORK, Feb. 12.—~The grand prize, the classic of automoblle racing now that the ‘Grand Prix Is apparently a thing of the past, will be revvived this year. All Aoubts that the big motor car speed contest | will have a 1910 revival after lost year's | layoff have been removed. Although no’ mention of the Grand Prizse was made In | the recently Issued calendar, comnrlulng‘ 100 sanctioned dates, by the contest board of the American Automobile association, it Is a surety that it will be staged. This was the purport of the Information learned on the subject last night. A man high in the counclls of the Auto- | moblle Club of America stated that lhe} Grand Prize would be held in this country next October While the exact date has | not been fixed it is understood to be on | October 15 or 2. The contests will be held | under the auspices of the Automobile Club | of America and the Motor Cups' Holding | company. The latter body was Incorpor- ated last summer. to conduct the Vanderbilt | and Grand Prize’ events. The trophles for | both races wers deeded over to the M. C. H. C. by the American Automobile asso- clation and the Automobile Cilub of America. At a meeting of the international asso- tion of recognized automobile clubs held in Paris on January 19, a sanction was granted for the so-called American Grand | Prize. The sanction stipulates that the | event will be held during October. ! Acting Secretary Harry Fosdyck of the Automobile Club of America, was very re- luctant to givé out information on the sit- uation. “The contest committes of the Automo- | bile Club of America has fixed upon no | definito time or place for the race,” said Mr. Fosdyck. The remark covered the situation ex- | Ne definita tima has haen fived, but | the race will very probably be held either on October 15 or 22. The place was not stipulated in the sanction. ‘As to the Grand | Prize's site, it s thought that the classic will go to Long Island. The reasons,for this are many. It is a well known fact that many prominent Automobile Club of | America men are stockholders in the Motor Parkway. This is a strong_item In favor of the cement raceway. However, there is considerable opposition to the parkway, on the grounds that it is too slow. But then' Long Island's advantage over any other place is apparent. A movement is sald to be under-way to swig the Grand Prize to the course at Riverhead Sharps who witnessed the Long Island Stock Car Derby there last autumn, with its appall- Ing speed flights, were unanimous that it Is the fastest road speedway In this coun- try. These two courses make Long Island | very strong Grand Prize contender. The fact that the event is on schedule for October is another point in Long Island's The Vanderbilt cup contest will be held on the Motor Parkway on October | 4. Rumor has it that the Grand Prize will be run a fortnight or sv later. According to the plan, the Vanderbilt may be made | an elimination event to the' Grand .Prize.| The scheduling of the grand classic for | October, and necessarily later in the month | than the Vanderbilt, makes this quite pos- sible. While no plans’ have been officially an- ! nounced for the 1910 Grand prize, many| possiblo regulations have leaked out. It ls | said that a country’s entries will be limited | to three ears.

AMERICANS FARE BETTER IN THE BRITISH HANDICAPS ny Pe » Imposed Last Year Are Not Repeated This Seano NEW YORK, Feb. 12.—Weiglits have handicaps, in which a number of Amer- n horses are engaged. It will be remem- bered that jast year, when the American invasion was at its height, the British handicappers were particularly severe, and Ballot, Fair Play, Colln and Priscillian headed most of the'lists, This year the sare conditfon does not exist, though it been favored to any great extent. Falr Plgy, Ballot and Priscillian are back in Amerlica, and Colin has been retired to the stud in England. This disposed of ot the best horses that were sent abroad, and now the best American horse in England is Sir Martin, the 4-year-old son of Ogden and Lady Sterling, which was purchased from John B. Madden by Louls Winans in the fall of 1908. In all of the handicaps in whxch 8ir Martin {s to meet King Edward’s Minoru, winner of the Derby, in which Sir Martin fell, the son of Ogden is rated the better horse, and in the Lincolnshire handicap the first of the big spring fixtures, he J. B. Joel's tamous Doan Swift, perhaps the top weight at 130 pounds, while Sir Martin is under 123 pounds. The other Americans In the Lincolnshire and thelr welghts are H. P.

Keeneé to Mr. Prentic old ‘campaigner, For the mile and a quarter of the Clly and Suburban Dem Swiii is ai with an impost of 181, while Sir M required to take up 12 pounds, as against Minoru's 128 pounds. For the Victoria cup, a dash of seven furlongs, Sir Martin and Dean Swift a Llangwm is the top weight at 132 pounds, Perseus, 113; Norman III, 110; Robbin II, another of the Whitney eligibles, is In under 106, and his 3-year-old Top o' the Morning, %, while Louls Winan's {-year- old Edward is handicapped at 91 pounds. In the Kempton Park Great Jubilee handicap Llangwm and Dean Swift are both handicapped at 126, and Sir Martin takes up 121, while Minoru is in under 119, This is another mile and a quarter race, Another set of weights that are of Inter- est on this side of the Atlantic are those for the Liverpool Grand National steeple- chase, in which George Saportas has named his 6-year-old Simon Pure. The top welght is allotted C. G. Ashton Smith's Jerry M. and Crackler, each being required to take up 17. Stmon Pure is in under 152. Last year Simon Pure raced with a fair measure of success over the French courses, and he is being especially pointed for the Liverpool Grand Natlonal. - HESTER HAS NEW BATTLE GROUND Will Become Manager of the Alameda Y Ataletie Clab, SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 12.—Sld Hester, the promotér of the coming champlonship fight between Battling Nelson and Ad Wolgast, has made arrangements by which he can hold his fight in the Alameda Ath- letic club.

Hockey Player Gets More Pay Than Ball Stars Some Receive $1,000 for Games in the Canadian * Leagues. NEW YORK, Feb. 12.—There is a very general Impression In this gountry that base ball players in the big leagues are the highest pald professional athletes in the world, buf this s far from correct. Few people know that hockey players of the professional class recelve more money than the players of the national game In Eight | been announced for the English spring [thI8 country, vet it is a well known fact that the “pro” players in Canada recelve sums far in excess of anything that would be dreamed of by the average person. The actual amount of cash may not be as large, but' then the playing season for hockey is very limited, and the men partic- pate in only a few games during even that short perold, so that, according to the sea- son of play, the hockey professional gets far more for his services than the base ball man, As in base ball, there are extra large sums paid to some few players, but the average of the professional Canadian hockey player might be rated at $1,000 for participation in not more than eight or nine games. A: against the average stipend of the base ball player, which might be rated at $2,500, the hockey player Is much the better pald. He can attend to some other business at the same time that he 1s engaged for hockey and thus Increase his income, and this is, in fact, what many of them do, some even being given sinecure positions, which require al- most no attention, with blg pay attached, 80 that in reality it might be considered in the nature of a salary for hockey, as, un- less the incumbent of the position were not & first-class chaser of the puck, he would not-be eligible for such a position. ‘Aside from what the average professional hockeylst recelves, however, there are many instances of exceedingly high salar- fes being paid to high class men. Prob- ably the highest salaried player in the Do- minfon is Fred Taylor of the Renfrew team, who recelves $4,000 a vear. In addi- tlon he holds another position, it is said, because of his hockey ability, from which he receives $1,200 a year, and, besides afl this, he gets a bonus if the Renfrew team wins the champlonship. Tt is sald that it costs $19,000 to place .seven men on the ice to represent Renfrew. On this basis the average salary would be $2,700 for a playing season, whieh extends over only a few weeks. The example regarding Rentrew is only an instance of that which prevails with practically all of the other professional teams. Cobalt last year paid Art Ross at the rate of $10 a minute in the match against the Hallebury team. Two, Yalves of thirty minutes each were played, and Ross received for his part in the game $600. It is doubtful 4 any base ball player ever recelved an equal sum for participa- tion In a single game. All of the other members of the two teams received big money for their part in the contest. The match was played at Cobalt in the heart of the silver mining district, and the min- ers were willing to make a big outlay in order to get two good teams together, so that they might lay heavy wagers. Bet- ting is, In fact, a part of the program. The towns in which the contests are played are small and could not begin to give in Bate receipts anything like the sum neces- sary to pay/the salaries of the members of the teams. It is the chance that the back- ers of the teams have to lay heavy wagers which holds the sport in a class by itselt and makes the Canadian professional hockey player the best paid in the world. RACES IN HEART OF AFRICA Zambesl River Chosen as the Scene of World Contests. 'NEW YORK, Feb. 12.—Concerning the coming world's sculling champlonship, to be held in the summer in the heart of Africa, a well known London authority says ‘Arrangements have been made for a match during the summer for the cham- plonship of the world between Richard Arnst of New Zealand, the holder, and Ernest Barry, champlon of England. There was a time when the natural scene of so important a contest would have been the River Thames, and even in days when the grand challenge cup passes most of its time in Belgium, and the trophies of polo and lawn tennis are In other hemiepheres, the idea of the sculling championship be- ing decided so far afleld as the Zambesl river will come with something of & shock to those who have not realized the extraor- dinary expansion, which sport of all kind has undergone during the past decade. August 18 or 2 has been suggested as the most suitable date, and the English cham- plonships interests seem t6 have been well looked after by the two famous scullers, each a former holder of the Wingfields and the Diamonds, who have been chiefly as- sociated with the organization of the match. . “The men are to scull for & purse of 5,00 of which $3750 goes to the winner and $1,20 to the loser; and the expenses, which will be necessarily heavier than usual, will, it s hoped, be provided by sub- ription. “In order to have sufficient time for training over the course of mbout three and a half miles, between the Victorla falls and the rapids of the Zambesi river, Barry will have to leave London in June, capable hands of Tom Sullivan. He weighs under twelve stone at present, and will at once begin sculling on the Thames with a sary for so important an event. Itis to be wished that the full champlonship.distance | for four and & quarter miles maf be' possi- | ble, for Barry 1s a fine stayer, and like many of the best, does not show his real pace | until he has done a mile.or so. Every one | will wieh him the good fortune of being able to become the first home-born cham- plon of the world whom England has pro- duced for more than thirty years." Runners Gather at Gotham. NEW YORK, Feb. 12—Any anxiety that may have existed among the ‘simon pures” over an investigation of the amateur standing of the crack sprinters and middle- distance runners will be lulled by the an- nouncement by Powers & Pollok, the pro- moters of the big athletic events, that the blg fifteen-mile race in Madlson Square Garden, Monday evening, February 14, is to be followed.by a series of fifteen and twenty-mile races and Marathons that promise to furnish some sensationsl strug- gles. Within & few weeks all of the big Marathoners now out west will be brought together at the garden and later in outdoor contests. Dorando's recent victory’ over Johnny Hayes revived the Interest In the game among his countrymen here, but his laurels are sald to be threatened, as there are rumors of an Itallan runner coming to this country who they say can.run rings sround Johnny Hayes' conqueror. THE OMAHA SUNDAY BE STAR BASE BALL CATCHERS Buck Ewing is Still Regarded as Without a Peer. FINE OLD BOYS OF OLD DAYS Charley Bennett, Too, is Not Forgot- ten by Veteran Students of Game Gibson, Carrl and Other Backst When Gibson of the Pittsburg world's champlons caught 10 games last vear he ung up a record that may not be sur- &-m for many years to come and also ted a general bellef that he possessed more skill than many great backstops in days gone by. Still the studious erities of the game were not ready to admit that Gibson was the equal of the famous John Kling of the victorious Cubs, who in spite of a year of idleness is even now consid- ered the star catcher of modern times, It is only natural for the new crop of base ball fans to regard such backstops as Kling, Gibson, Carrigan of the Boston Red Sox, Roger Bresnahan, once of the Giants and now of the St. Louls Cardinals; Sulll- van of the White Sox, and others, un- equaled In point of playing skill, but old- timers are always ready to disagree with them when looking back over the pages of diamond history, You can find many veteran base ball enthusiasts who will tell you that a greater catcher than Buck Ewing never lived; that Charley Bennett, Jim McGuire, Duke Far. rell, Jack Boyle, Charley Ganzel, Lou Cri- ger, Charley Zimmer, Jack O'Connor, Tom | Daly, Doc Bushong, Wilbert Robinson, Dick Buckley, Charley Snyder, Calliope Miller, John Clement, Emil Gross, Mike Kelley, Silver Flint, Vincent Nava, Jim White and Cal McVey were among the most famous backstops that ever stood behind the plute. Al th stars did phenomenal work, as the' records will show, and those who saw them in action wil stick to the bellef that no better catchers are wearing the mask and chest protector at the present time. Going back more than thirty years ago, the records show that Jim White, famil- larly called Deacon, was a crack receiver; also Cal McVey. They handled the de- livery of A. G. Spaulding at dffferent times and displayed rare skill. McVey caught for Boston In 1872 and was suc- ceeded by White, who in 1875 took part in seventy-nine games, and in 1876 played in sixty-four games, leading the National league catchers in the latter year with a flelding average of .791. It must be re- membered that McVey and White did not wear big mitts or chest protectors in those days, and there were many occasions when they went behind the bat without masks, S0 that thelr work was all the mors re- markable, as they caught game after same, syffering from bone sores in their hands and other brulses. White later gave up catching and became a star third base- man, play|ng that corner of the diamond for Buffalo, Detroit and Plttsburg. The Deacon was always a heavy hitter, leading the league in 1877 with an average of .38. McVey, too, was a big sticker and rankea third in the averages of 1876 with .345, when he played first base for the Chicago team, Charley Snyder became famous as a catcher in Louisville In 1877, and the next year he set the base balk world on fire with his splendid work in' Boston when he led the league catchers with an average of .541 for fifty-four games, and handled the curves of the renowned Thomas Bond with great skill. Emil Gross, a big man phy- sically, made an excellent record with the Providence club as John M. Ward's re- celver in 1879, but he was excelled in the averages by Silver Fiint of Chicago, who led the league backstops with an average of 830 for seventy-four games. Flint was a horse for work. His stamina caused a feeling of awe among players and fans for he caught incessantly in spite of many broken fingers and a smashed nose. He was the mainstay of the Chicagos when they won the pennant in 1350, 1881, 1832, 1885 and 1886, though-im the last two seasons | he was helped out to a great extent by Mike Kelley. Fiint handled some cele- brated pitchers with the Chicagos, includ- ing Larry Corcoran, Fred Goldsmith, Jim McCormick and John Clarkson. He caught sixty-two games in 1880, seventy-seven in 1851 and seventy-nine in 1882, and was con- tinually on the job in the remaining years of his engagement. When Providence won the pennant in 188 with Radbourne and Sweeney as pitch- | ers, Barney Gilllgan and Vincent Nava were the catchers. They Wwere little men, physicaily, but they @id not fear work. | Gllligan caught seventy-nine games that vear, handling Radbourne's curves in a majority of the games and making a ster- | ling record. RBut Charley Bennett of the Detroits was the champlon yecelver in those days, for he led the league, not only in 1851, 1882 and 1883, but kept up his. good work by carrying off first honors in the tlelding alverages of 1585, 1885, 1887, 1838, 1859, 1890 and 189 Bennett caught never less than fifty games in any of those years and in 18% he played in eighty-five, for an average of 944. He worked like a machine, | having very few passed balls and throwing to bases with the alm of a sharpshooter. Furthermore, Bennett never fussed wllh‘ the empire. He held his tongue, even when | | decislons were rendered against him, and | was one of the model players of his time. and will, throughout his practice, be in the {274 Staley. view to the thorough preparation neces- | FEBRUARY 13, | In St. Louls, and with Pitcher Silver King he Was seldom found wanting and as an exponent of team work he was never ex- colled. Taking him in all departments of the game he was probably one of the greatest ball players that ever put on a uniform, and veteran critics scorn the assertion that there are better catchers todey. Ewing caught the famous Tim O'Keefe, Mickey Welch, Cannon Ball | Crane, Hank O'Day, Titcomb, Amos Rusie and othér pitchers with as’ much ease as It he sat In a rocking chair. Crane was probably the swiftest pitcher he ever | faced, yet he used to make the big twirler |as mad as a hatter by tellng him that he | |had no speed when the fast ones came shooting over the plate. Ewing caught seventy-elght games In 1888 with a field- ing average of .61 and a batting average of .36 In 189 he officiated behind the bat In ninety-four out of 131 games, with 894 in flelding and .32 in batting. Tom Daly, who, caught his first major league games with the Chicagos and then helped the Brooklyns to win the pennant| In 1890, was another fine backstop and thrower until he injured his arm &nd be- oame a second baseman. He was one of the fastest men In the country In getting after foul flies., Dick Buckley, who was playing ball when. his hair was gray, led the league catchers in 181 when & mem- ber of the Giants with .M4 for sixty-six games. He practically made Amos Rusle, for the big Hoosler could mot pitch with effect to anybody else that season. Malachi Kittredge, a short, stocky ochap, was the leading. National league catcher | In 1892 He played with the Chicagos and caught, #mong others, the noted Clark Griffith. Kittredge caught sixty games that year with an average of .021. Chlef Zimmer, an iron man who stood the battering of many crack pltchers with |the Clevelands, was the leader in 1894 when he caught efghty-elght games with | an average of .98. That was the year that Duke Farrell, who had previously earned fame as'a Chicago backstop, was a bright ar at the Polo grounds when the Giants, under John M. Ward, won the Temple oup from the Baltimores. Farrell caught Rusie and Meekin, both speed merchants, with and ease and grace that delighted thousands of fans, many of whom remem- ber him to this day. Wilbert Robinson of the Baltimores and John Clement of the | Philadelphians were tied for first honors in 1895, the former catching seventy-four games and the latter eighty-four. Deacon Jim McGuire, another stone wall, carried off the honors in 198, when he caught | ninety-two games for the Washingtons with | an average of .92 Zimmer again led the ledgue in 1901 when he officlated with the wind pad and mitt in sixty-seven games for the Pittsburgs, and Kittredge, then with the Bostons, came back in the following year with .90 for seventy-two games. Jack Warner of the Glants was the league's leading catcher in 1908 and 1904, in point of flelding averages, and Frank Bowerman, also of MecGraw's team, held the top’ rung of the ladder in 1906 and 1007. Bergen of the Brooklyns was the leader in 1%8. He showed practically as much ‘skill then as that of his brother Martin, who caught eighty-two games for the Bostons In 1897 and later committed sulcide. Roger Bresnahan will always be remembered by New York fans as a hard worker. He caught the great Mathewson with skil and was the life of the New York team. Bresnahan, in the opinion of | many, came nearer filling Buck Ewing's Dplace at the Polo grounds than any other New York catcher. He was a suberb, all around player, a great hitter and above all & heady field marshal. It was a sad day for the Giants, many fans think, when he was allowed to get away. Charles A. Comiskey, owner of the Chi- cago White Sox, developed several famous catchers, including Doc Bushong, Jack Boyle and Billy Sullivan. Bushong caught for Comiskey's St. Louls Browns, who won several pennants in the old American as- sociation. Ho handled Bobby Caruthers and Long Dave Foutz and after. being traded to the Brooklyns he continued to do excellent work.” Boyle succeeded Bushong as his leading partner in strategy he de- veloped & remarkable battery. Sullivan, still with the White Sox, was rated the best catcher in the American league sev- eral years ago, but he may have gone back & trifle, Lou Criger, who will be with the Hl:n- landers this year, was a leading backstop when with the Clevelands under Pat. Te- beau and later with the Boston Red Sox when they won the world’s champlonship, but a serious spinal trouble put him out of the game after that for more than a year. Finally recovering his health and strength, Criger returned to base ball and showed much of his former skill, but in St. Louis last year he complained that the climate did not agree with him and welcomed the deal that transferred him to this city. Osele Shreckengost, .who caught Rube Waddell, Plank, Bender and other pitchers for the Philadelphia Athletics, cannot be left out of this story. Neither can Jack O'Connor, who was a sterling backstop for the Clevelands and Pittsburgs, and Morgan Murphy, who was famous as catcher of the champlon Boston American assoclation team under Arthur Irwin in 1891 The old Mets of 1884 contributed Billy Holbert ana Relpschlager to the list of great catchers and there were many other good ones, Suf- fice it to say, though, that when you see some of the star catcheérs in harness now- adays it s well to remember that they are following in the footsteps of men who were Just as famous and no doubt equally skiil- tul in every way PRINCETON ENTERH ROWING GAME His career was cut short wh he was a | member of the Bostons.

I had thus suffered for five years, all the time trying different local treatments of inhalations, snuffs, douches, etc., with no real good effect. Of course I was greatly discouraged. Assoon as I heard from you I commenced 8. 8. S. as you advised and after using it a short while noticed a change for the better, 1 wm(inucd to take it believing the trouble was in the blood, and S. 8. 8, made a permanent cure for me. Iam now entirely free from Catarrh, (Y JUDSON A. BELLAM., 224 Randolph St., Richmond, Va. The symptoms Mr. Bellam describes in his case of Catarrh are familiar to every one who suffers with this disease. For five years he had endured the discomfort and suffering, and was greatly discouraged as one treatment after another failed to cure him. When at last- he realized that Catarrh is a blood disease, he knew that the former treatments had been wrong, and only a blood purifier like S.S.S. could produce permanent good results. Catarrh is not merely an affection of the mucous membranes; it'is a deep-seated blood disease in which the entire circulation and greater part of the system are involved.
