DOINGS OF THE DAY IN THE SPORTING WORLD BIG MEETING FORJQLUMBM STEW YORK. —Crack runners and other athletes of Columbia, Yale, Princeton, Pennsylvania, the New; York and Irlsh-Amerlcan Athletic clubs and other colleges and clubs; j will compete tonight in the annual game* of (ydiimbla University at Madison Square Garden. The entry list includes a large part of the ama teur stars of the country and to night's meet will be of the first mag nitude. The indications are that the two mile championship Intercollegiate re lay will be the leading attraction of the evening’s sport. The Yale quartette, which made such a record in tho recent Pastime games, Is the favorite In the two mile relay, and the runners of the Other colleges entered realise that it will take four fast half-mile men to heat Baird, Maun, Kirjassof and Spltzer, the New Haven four. Princeton hopes to win the point trophy with such men as Bredemus, the Amateur Athletic Union all around champion; Frantz who was placed In the half at the intercollegi ate* last year; Dawbarn, tho new sprinting wonder, and about a dozen other likely men. When the cracks line up In the j Martinique mile, one of the greatest; races In the annals of sport should | result. Never has the district been represented«ity such a covey of toilers as at present. There are half a dozen men who are beating 4.26 overj tho boards, and that fact should i count for something. The Mercury Footers are pinning | their faith on Harry Trube, Hie j former Cornelllan, who carried the j Mercury Foot to victory in the na- j tlonal mile championship at Travers | Island last summer. Trube Is run- j nlng faster than ever, as was shown by his performance in the mile at the i Pastime games, when he ran around j a big field and crossed the line In the gerat time of 4.25 2-5. The Winged Flstites have Tom Collins, Mel Sheppard, Jim Sullivan, Harvey Conn and George Itonhag. The wearers of the Winged Fist are of the opinion that Collins can take Trubo’s measure. GINS GDIS OUT WITH JOLD DEFI BALTIMORE.—Joe Oans, former j lightweight champion, having recov ered from his recent illness, left Bal timore for New York. Gnus says ho will challenge any lightweight In the world, barring Battling Nelson. Ho has a certified check for SI,OOO In his pocket, nnd says ho Is ready to put up this amount to bind a match, and more It necessary. Just before leaving for Now York, Joe said; "These lightweights have been boxing enough with one another, and now I want to get Into the game. I refer to Cross, Tommy Murphy, Jem Driscoll, Packey McFarland, and all of' that set. 1 think tho public has seen enough of their efforts with one another, nnd they should give me their attention. They all say they want a match with the champion, Battling Nelson, and he has replied that they must box me to show their claims to his at tention. Now, I am ready for them, one and all, and hope some of them will give me a meeting. But when all Is said anil done, Jabez White lls the boy I am after particularly.” PLANNING FOG GIG AUTOMOBILE RAGE SEATTLK- Plans havo been com pleted by the Seattle Automobile club for a transcontinental endurance automobile race, the cars to finish j in the stadium of the Alaska-Yukon- I Pacific exposition during the opening j week of the big fair. In a letter Robert Guggenheim I agreed to present a $2,000 trophy to the winning ear. and also cash prises I to the amount of $5,300, to be divided ! among the first five to finish. NEW CLUB IN THE TEXAS LEAGUE SHREVEPORT. La.—Reports from | Houston, Tex,, are to the effect that | Oklahoma City has been admitted to ’the Texas League, and that It has | been let In as an additional club. This makes teu teams for the Texas | League. Shreveport fans are particularly I pleased to hexir of the arrival of an | additional club, for a few weeks ago ja stubborn fight was made by Okla homa City, with the aid of some of I the Texas magnates, to oust Shreve* , port in favor >f the Oklahomans. To i have ousted Shreveport for Oklahoma [City, It was claimed, would have 'given the circuit sufficient popula tion, as Oklahoma City Is larger than i Shreveport. to have caused advanee , -m of the Texas League lu class standing.

WRESTLER STRUGGLES TO DEA TH IN OPPONENT’S ARMS CHICAGO.—WhiIe trying to free himself from a "toe hold," secured by his opponent, Barber Eusian, a wrestler, strained so that his heart was affected and died in the arms of his adversary. One of the strange features of the match and tragic death of the wrest ler was that his opponent, although no kin, bears the same name, the victor being named John Eusian, and before the match the unfortunate wrestler who lost his life fighting for supremacy, stated to one of his friends that they had met on the SOUTHERN LEAGUE ALSO HAS SCHEDULE TROUBLES MOBILE, Ala. —What fans In the Southern league will have the pleas ure of witnessing their representa tives open up on their home grounds, and which teams will reap the har vests of the holiday games, will be known to the public on Feb. 22, when the spring inoeting of the Southern magnates will be held and u schedule adopted for the 1909 cam paign. The fact that the Fourth of July falls on the Sabbath this year, caused a great deal of trouble in the distribution of the games on that date, and as many cities in the cir cuit do not play Sunday ball, sev eral of the clubs will have to play their holiday game on the Saturday preceding. "The flag of truce will wave ovet j the Southern circuit this year as far I as umpires are concerned," stated | President Kavanaugh, “for I think 1 j have at least collected a bunch of! offleiators fthat will be able to satis fy the press, public and players, that is if such a thing is possible." President Kavanaugh stated during his recent sCay hare that he thought the Southern league would be faster and play better ball than has ever been presented to Dixie fans. He stated that the annual Invasion of ex-major leaguers and old base ball heads was a great benefit to the Southern league. He also stated that while some of the majors who drop ped back Into the minor leagues did not play as fast ball as some of the youngsters aud those who had less experience, they knew the Inside points of the game, and were benefi cial to the clubs in holding the play ers together and teaching the young sters filling up the gaps made by the ex majors who come south. Kavanaugh also stated that Judg ing from the various reports of the managers the frame up of the meu signed, and the large numbers of players Included on the reserve lists, there would be more good material to pick the clubs from, aud that he thought the Soutnem league would present a faster article of ball than ever before in the history of the lea gue. At the meeting of the league Presi READ IT! To read the 1909 seed catalogue and the weekly price current, as got ten out by N. U Willet Seed Co. i free for the askingt, is a kind of liberal education for farmer* and gardeners. j mat many times before, hut. this match would be for the championship. The two, who were both excellent wrestlers, became associated on ac count of the similarity of their names and became warm friends, going to amusements and wrestling and box ing together. Dr. E. W. White, physical director of the gymnasium, who was called In, pronounced Barber Eusian dead, and stated that heart disease was the cause. John Eusian was held at the police station to await the coroner’s Inquest. dent Kavanaugh will read his report on the action of the national commis sion of baseball clubs toward the Southern league and their classifica tion. Owing to the fact that the meeting will be held on Mardi Gras day here, it is estimated that the largest at tendance that ever attended a ses sion of the Southern league will be here at that time.

C.—The work of putting the Elmwood avenue base ball lot in shape for the coming sea son has been started by plowing up the diamond, which is to be made softer by mixing soft earth with the clay and sand that now make up that part of the playground. Grass seed may be planted and should It turn out all right hero there will be a grass diamond for the ball boys to play on this summer. The outfield will be cleaned up and the other needed work on the ball park will go fqrward, and everything made right by the time the spring practice games start up. Augusta and Chattanooga are to have grass diamonds and the work of getting the diamonds in those cit ies in order has been going on for several months. Macon and Columbus are talking grass diamonds and. like Columbia, may have them, though a little late in starting to work. CDiiiiili Mill MEETING COLUMBUS. —The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Columbus Baseball association was held Dst night at the board of trade hall, and tvhile the attedance was small, due to the heavy downpour of rain which vetoed practically every other gather ing scheduled for last night in Colum bus, yet it was marked by enthusi asm. The only business that came up was routine in its nature. Reports as of the progress were made by Captain J. E. P. Stevens, the secre tary and treasurer, and it was seen that Columbus’ baseball enterprise is sharping up nicely now that the open ing of the season approaches. The old board of directors was re-elected, as follows: Messrs. F. H. Springer Dan Joseph, T. E. Golden, Ed Cohn, Dr. T. E. Mitchell, Harrv L. Williams T. W. Bates, J. E. P. Stevens, A. J.

Besides run nlng on the Orange and Blue relay, Rector will compete in the 50 and 22C yard dashes. SATURDAY, FEB. 13. JNO.CLARKSON When John Clarkson struck out iu the ninth inning of his life last Thursday, another of those great baseball veterans of the past left the world for the spot where diamonds are always green Clarkson was easily the greatest pitcher of> his time, and for many years he was a more commanding figure in the major leagues than Mathewson Is now. Clarkson, while with many clubs during his career, achieved his great est fame with the old Boston pennant ■winners. Chicago sold him to that club along with “King" Kelly, and they were ever afterwards known as ihe "SIO,OOO battery." That sum In those days would mean a $30,000 price today in equivalent terms. It was with the Bostons that he pitched over seventy games in one season or more than half of the schedule. He often performed every other day, and was a winner of a large percentage of his games. Clarkson had abso lute control and speed with his de livery. No pitcher in any time did greater things than John Clarkson, and he ought to be remembered as one of the great devotees of the na tional pastime through the seasons as they come and go.
