Many Changes of Importance to Be Made in the By-Laws The Ticket.

PITTSBT'RG. Feb. 2S.-T that number of club managers art- alr:ily claiming the pennant for this nea?on," remarked Frd Clarke thi afternoon. "Pennants are not hard to win in the winter season when the snow is on the ground and prevents th real article, but thins sometime- turn out a bit different In the good old summer time, and I think I will wait until thut time before making a claim of the fourth flag for th Pirate."." Clarke arrived from Chicago this afternoon, and was met at headquarters by a reception committee consisting of Deacon Phillipe. Haas Wagner and Secretary Locke, who tendered him the freedom of the place, and he at once proceeded to make himself at home. The gallant leader of the three-time pennant winners looks well after a winter on his Kansas farm, and says that if necessary he could jump In and play ball to-morrow. He was accompanied as far as Chicago by his brother-in-law, "Chic" Frastr. who spent the winter on the Clurke farm, and who was left in Chicago engaged in a series of games of pitch with Chart! Comiskey. Joe Cantillion and some other ballplayers. "I am pretty well satisfied with my team." said Clarke, "and have not the least bit of fear as to the pitching department. I think tint before the season is very old we will cut loose a surprise for the wise ones who seem to think we are wt ik In the pitching line. I see that Kruger is out at the springs, and I am glad that the little fellow is in shape again, because he will be needed. There is not the least danger of his being allowed to get away from us. I understand that Barney picked up a clever player in that boy Stankard, but as he cannot Join the team before June, we will have a lot of work for the little German. I have heard from nearly all the players, and the boys seem anxious to get back Into harness again. "I am well aware that some of the teams of the league have been considerably strengthened, and that is Just what we want, as it will make the race closer and put my boys on their mettle. I can't see a team that we need to be afraid of, and the fact that some of them are a bit stronger than they were last year will be a good thing, because the boys will have to work all the time and there will be no loafing along the route. The race this season will be a long one, as the playing season had been lengthened, but that will not affect us any. AH we need will be a good start and we will make the pace fast enough for the best of them." Clarke left to-night for Princeton to take up his duties as coach, and he will give the college players two weeks of his time. The Job of a college coach Is a new thing to him, and he was making Inquiries as to his duties. Pitcher Cushman, who happened to be at headquarters, told Clarke that he would be expected to make a speech In the chapel to the players, and the Pirates' leader said he would balk on that Job. as he Is a player and not a speechmaker. Clarke 1? not going to Princeton to tell the boys how to play ball, hut will be more practical and took along with him a unifurm. which he will don and show the collegians the real thing in ths playing line. He was accompanied as far as Philadelphia by his wife and little daughter, who are to visit relatives in the Quaker City. HARVARD ATHLETES OPPOSE EXGLISH IDEA

CAMBRIDGE. Mass., Feb. 2. Track athletics are booming at Harvard and from present Indications the crimson will be represented by one of the strongest aggregations in its history at the intercollegiate and dual meetings. The defeat of the two-mile relay quartet by Yale has been the only disappointment sustained by the crimson enthusiasts, as the one-mile relay team defeated Pennsylvania handily and established a new world's record. Harry Le Moyne made a new world's indoor record in the shot-put with 46 feet Inches, Cunning ham took the forty-yard novice, ir.any heats were captured in the sprints and hurdles, and good work was also done b the middle and long distance runners. The undergraduates at Cambridge have taken a kindly view to the Brown attitude on professionalism in athletics. and if would not be at all surprising If Harvard consent to meet Brown on the same standing a heretofore. The Harvard students feel that their athletics are being controlled by men who take delight in making the ports as truly "English" as possible, and this spirit is distasteful even to the rieh stwdems at Cambridge. They want pure American athletics with good fellows competing. If students can make more money in the summer time playing ball for country teams or hotels than they can In waiting on tables, acting as clerks, bellboys, conductors, motormen, expressmen, etc.. then they think it Is high time Harvard should help these students out instead of barring them from competition. Ilirvard has suffered considerably from the "Kngltfth" Idea which has prevailed during the last five years, and if Harvard sanctions Brown's attitude it Is safe to say Yale. Princeton and Pennsylvania will do likewise. These three big universities just mentioned have not hesitated in the past to tell Harvard that th y had a system of t!u-ir own and they would control their athletics as they saw fit. and if Harvard didn't like the same Harvard could go whistle. Of course Harvard would like to retain its position on the high pedestal set up by Prof. Hollis, hut the students do not care to be known as "snobs" who allow onl rich men to make the athletic teams. A democratic spirit is necessary for success, and it looks as if Brown had paved the way for this spirit at Harvard. KIXLOCH TRACK WILL IX AUG URATE A WAR ST. LOCIS. Feb. 28. Owing to the great take offerings at the fair grounds this year, the racing prospects at Kinloch Park have received but little attention. Yet Kinloch will inaugurate the local racing seaSon and roak ' a tirst-i lass showing in the way of stake en'ries. Another thing that is worthy of note Is that on Kinloch will fail the burden of the flpht ag.iinst the new Vnion Jockey Club track. Mr. Carmody's track will open its gutes on the same day that racing begins at Kinloch. The difficulties about transportation to the country course hold out ome solace to the supporter of th new plant at Cnion and Natural bridge. The fair grounds people say that this will be made up for by th fact that Mr. Carmody won't able to get horses, and that, even if he can fill his barns, his runners will not class with the fields at Kinloch. and that the racing public Is educated up to the point where th- y will not waat- time on inferior performers. Mr. Carmody re;. lies to this that h- will have plenty of horses; that thre will he biK shipments to his cour- from San Francisco and New York, and that there will b a general revolution against the Western Jo k i!ub. which his track will get the benefit of. Anyhow, it will be Kinloch vs the Union Jockev lub. .md the fight will be Interesting. That Mr. Carmody Intends to play a lone hand is .-vidi-nt from the way in which he refers to the present muddle at Chicago over the refusal of Worth track to accept date. "I nave never considered an alliance with W ' r i h . s-i vs carmody. "for the simple reason that they ar- trying t-i m.k us pull tb ir chestnuts out of th rire. I W)l bet f i to C00 thut Worth will a' i t the dates assigned by the Wef-sern J ke ('lub. They are simply blurting and nalntc our name to back up thir threats. When Mr. Jasper declined my offer it waa proof to me that he would serve, ua usual, at Wot tu this season. "

Failure to Deliver Such Goods Is Worse than Getting a Beating in the King. NSW YORK. Feb. .-Four-flishing as an art has been carried to its highest development by the mltt-sllngers who claim to be champions or who are "near champions." Failure to put up a brand of "con talk" that will make the fans pause and gasp is considered worse than going into the ring and taking a beating. When in his prime Kid McCoy was the goods wfth the sppng'.es, but since public opinion has made him a high private in the rear ranks of the jab ariists he has been holding his peace and giving the other fellows a chance. Tommy Ryan and Jack 0"Brien always did give McCoy a hard run for first money, and now this entire bunch is becoming involved in a gabfest which breaks all records before it is even half over. That wallop which Kyan landed on O'Brien in Philadelphia seems to have made Jack a candidate for the queer house. He sits around the "con" joints In the sleepy city now and tells how he is going to take on McCoy. Ryan and Bob Fitzsimmons. just as fast as he can drag those gentlemen Into a ling. Of course, this kind of talk gives McCoy and Ryan a chance to get back, and they are not passing up the opportunity. Fven old Bob Fitzsimmons has developed Into quite a "con" peddler since Jeffries hammered him to death. Before O'Brien finishes with that bunch, if he really Intends to take them on. he will have a bad case of lockjaw. The English champion can probably trim Kid McCoy, as the Hoosler is one of the soft spots In the game now. but Tommy Ryan will drive him to the woods long before a twenty-round tight is ended, and if he ever gets to old "Speckled Bob" he will get a trimming that wiii induce him to retire from active business and live on his Income. In spite of all his talking. O'Brien is a topnotch fighter, and should be able to make trouble for the best of them, but he might as well talk about whipping Jeffries as Fitzsimmons. Gardner proved to be one of the best of the light heavy weights, and Fitz made him look like a sucker. That light proved almost beyond a doubt that, with the single exception of Jeffries, there is not a man In the business who can beat "Lanky Bob." While talking of four-flushers. Jim Corbett must not bo overlooked. He breaks into the game every now and then Just to show the people he is not dead. His latest effort came recently, when he announced that he had retired from the ring for two years on account of his theatrical engagements. There Is mors money in being a footllght artist than there is In swinging the mitts, and he gives this as his reason for quitting the game. In order that the public will not believe he is in earnest In this talk, he puts in an "if" to the effect That he will be willing to fight if somebody will hang up a $25.000 purse. In another two years Corbet t will be so old that his teeth will commence to fall out and he will have to walk with a cane. The bout which Corbet t had with Jeffries In California shows that the former champion has played his string, and when the two years he Is now talking about are up he will do well to put off the dute of turn grand reappearance another two years, and In this way make his retirement permanent. He has not got another good fight left In him, and there is no need of waking the people up to this fact by letting Bob Fitzsimmons beat him to death. Out In California Young Corbett Is doing his best to give the impression that he is "going the pace that kills." It was reported a short time ago that he won $30,000 on the races. He probably pulled down a pretty good chunk, and he takes a man along with him now to carry his money, and is buying automobiles and horses wherever they are offered for sale. He is having a royal time getting rid of his surplus cash, and at the same time Davie Sullivan Is digging Into the hard work and getting ready to make the fight of his life when he runs up against Young Corbett toward the last of this month.

DAVE SULLIVAN SAYS HE WILL DEFEAT CORBETT There Will Be Plenty of ShortEnd Money Bet on the Boston Irishman. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 28. Dave Sullivan will step into the ring to-morrow night for his tight with "Young"' Corbett backed by a large amount of short end money. For some time after his arrival here the Boston Irishman seemed under a cloud. I No one thought much of him because he had agreed to take a certain amount, win or lose. Recently the experts have come to see that Sullivan is a husky fellow and a good boxer with a fine punch. Hence, within the last few days his stock has gone up. He is eonlldent and to-day Bald: "You have Idolized Corbett out here until you think he cannot be beaten. I will not only give him a hard battle, but I will win. For a year and a half 1 have been trying to get a chance at him. I am a lighter whose business is to make a"fc much money as I can in the ring. I consented to take $2.500 because it save nie the opportunity to win the championship.'" Cor Vit has trained more carefully for this match than for any he has fought here. He has said all along that Sullivan is a harder proposition than Hritt. but most people thought he was merely bulfnng in order to annoy Uritt. Corbett is about to weight and will tight strong, lie OUghl to do Sullivan in ten or twelve rounds, but if there is any heavy batting on rounds he may be counted on to let the right go up to the sixteenth or eighteenth round. llerrera- anger iiout. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ( H1CAGO, Feb. 28. Aurelia Herrera, the Mexican lighter, and Benny Yanger. the total boxer, have started active training for their light here next Monday night. BASEBALL MAGNATES WILL HAVE BUSY WEEK Schedules for the Two Major Organizations to Be Reported President Johnson on Deck. NEW YORK. Feb. 2 Among the persons most Interested in the major ha-, hall leagues there promises to be a very bu.-y week. President Ban B. Johnson, of the American League, arrived here to-night, and to-morrow be will convene the annual schedule meeting of his organization. The annual schedule meeting jf the Natioual League will convene here twenty-four hours lat r, and from present indications there seems to be little doubt that both organizations will adopt noncontllcting schedules or playing date.- for the coming season. l'resideut Johnson was met by C. A. Comlakey. of the "hlcago American I-agne club. C. W. Somers. of Cleveland, and T. J. Ioftns. of the Washington club. With theye three and J. Hector Clems, of the Washington club. President Johnson held a brief conference, aftr ahlch It was ant:uneed that a new tommitte on schedule, consisting of Frank J. Farrell. of this city, c a. Corr.lBkey, of Chicago, and C W.

KID SUTHERLAND. Who is now tending goal for Elwood team.

SUTHERLAND BECOMES F Believed He Will Instill New Life Into Gravs and Pull Them Out of the Rut. WHITE OX THE BENCH SpfMal to the Indianapolis Journal. ELWOOD. Ind., Feb. B. Kid Sutherland, the young goal tender secured by Elwood from the Danville Central League team, gives promise of becoming a favorite here. Sutherland is well-known by the Elwood fans because he played a f w gnmes with the Racine. Wis., team last season. He is a product of Racine and has all the instincts of a good polo player. The Elwood management signed Sutherland believing that he would put new life into the team and help to get it out of the rut. White got into a ear. less sort of way in trying to protect the Elwood cage and many balls slipped past him into the netting. The management believes that a few days on the bench will cause him to play better polo than he has done in the past few weeks. ! RECORDS OF THE TWO-YEAR-OLDS THIS YEAR LEXINGTON. Ky.. Feb. 23. Young as the racing season of 19Ö4 is. according to statistics compiled by a turf authority here, already no less than forty two-year-olds have won races this year These early youngsters combined have von sixty-six races, there being two win iers of four races each, Arch Oldham and Lady Lasca; four winners of three races eech. Eduardo, Meada. Pinkerton and Biperine; twelve winners of two races each. Arisbe, Azelina, Belle Kenney, Boso Ely, Brown Study. Friar Tuck. Magregor. Marie J.. Prince Brutus, Stella Allen. Willa and Wood Claim, and twenty-two winners of only one race. Air Ship, All Scarlet. Bill Short, Blaze Duchess, De Grammont, El Otros. George P. McNear, Gloomy Gus. Golden Idol. Henry Ach. John Carroll, Lady Greenwood, Loglstela. Melar. Miss Galore, Modredlaw, My Order. Peggv Mine, Peggy O'Neill. Salable. Steel Wire and Tim Hurst. But four youngsters have won stakes this season, as follows: Pinkerton. blk. c, by imp. Sain-Lizzie II. II, by John Henry; Arch Oldham, b. c, by imp. GallantryPearl Barnes, by Barnes; Viperine, b. f., by Filligrane-imp. Meduca, by Robert the Devil; Modredlaw. b. c. by imp. Basset-law-Miss Modred, by imp. Sir Modred. The latter captured the Debutante at New Orleans; Viperine won the Rosebud at the same place; Arch Oldham was the lucky victor of the Carnival, also ran off at New Orleans, and Pinkerton won the Santa Barbarba at Los Angeies. Cat. No less than nineteen of the two-year-old winners so far in 134 are Allies, sixteen colts and five geldings, the latter being Bose Ely. Friar Tuck, Gloomy Gus, My Order and Salable. Th- sires of these forty early youngsters number thirty-five. Balgowan leading with three and imp. Bassetlaw. imp. Brutus, Eddie Jones and imp. Gallantry two each. The sires with only one winner so far to their cr (lit are imp. Albert. Belvidere, imp. Contract. Emperor of Norfolk. Figaro. Filligrane. Flying Dutchman, imp. Foul Shot, imp. Galore, imp. Golden Dawn. Imp. Grammont. Handsel. King Eric. King William, Libertine, Ivocohatchee. Mount McGregor II. Nimrod. imp. Order, Ornament, imp. Pontiac, Sam Lucas, imp. Sain. Sir Walter. Imp. The Friar. The Greek, Horso, imp. Woodmoss and Wernberg. This list reveals the appearance of several old turf favorites as new candidates for stallion honors. Eddie Jones, one of the $10.0(10 Burns handicap victors, has two good winners out. one of which. Eduardo, seems of extra class. Filligrane. the brilliant Metropolitan handicap winner, comes forth with Viperine. an unusually smart filly, and Nimrod. which brother to Huntress so often disappointed the late Byran McClelland, has what looks like might prove a speedy marvel in the Ally Blaze Duchess, th? dam of which is by Brown Dick's famous selling plater, Duke of the Highlands. The New England horse in the list is imp. Grammont. a California importation. The longest race run and won by a two-year-old so far this season is four and a half furlongs, and this leads many form Btudeata to surmise that as the races throughout th country for these youngsters lengthen out, many that are bordering on to stardom now will drop by the Wayside and only be remarkable turf lights in future horse lore as speed wonders of the kindergarten school. The best records at the different distances run by two-year-olds so far in 1304 are given below: Thtee furlongs: Modredlaw, New Orleans. Time. :35 4-5. Three and a half furlongs: Marie J., Ingleside.

The eighty-six races won by two-year-otda BO far this year are divided up as follows: Four and a half furlongs, one; four furlongs, nineteen; three and a half furlonss. twenty-four; three furlongs, twentytwo. BOTH ST. LOUIS CLUBS REPORT THIS WEEK ST. LOt'IS, Feb. 2S.-Both the Browns and Carflinals are due here this week, the tribe of Nic hols coming Friday and that of MeAleer the following day. Most of the players will be in the city, however, before reporting day. and several are expected to-morrow. But few of the players have made arrangements for accommodations hre during the season, and the ball playSSl are facing the MUM problem which will confront other visitors. To the visiting clubs here this season the providing of quarters will be a club problem only, and the players will not hav to do any worrying. To the St. Louis players it is different. While in their home cities the players SIT expected to provide their own quarters. With the world's fair rush it is going to cost the players more than usual, and the latter will not be ahle to arrange matters as conveniently as heretofore. That is why BAOSt Of then will get along early this week in order to look after rooms and board. Reporting time is always interesting on account of the new fares, and there will be enough on both team? this year to make this the case. Both Nichols and SfcAleer will have men they may not even have e. n. This is particularly true of Nichols. The new manager of the Cardinals will need an Introduction to most . f his player-.. and he will also have a chance to make the acquaintance of some men he has not met In years. The stay of both teams here will be brief, the Cardinals being scheduled to go South Sunday night, while th Browns will follow on Monday. Then the reports from the South will keep the Interest alive until the two teams tackle each other In Jit. Louis on Ainl i.

ELWOOD

MITE

CHICAGO, Feb. 2$.-Expansion as far west as the Pacific coast will be one of the principal results of the annual meeting of the Western Golf Association, w.iieh will be held at the Grand Pacific Hotel Tuesday night at S o'clock. As originally constituted the jurisdiction of the association extended within a radius of ä'J miles of Chicago. The proposed amendment, which is not likely to meet with any opposition, reads as follows: Any club within 500 miles of Chicago or west of the Mississippi river shall be eligible for membership In this association, provided any such club is either an associate or allied member of the United States Golf Association. The regular ticket which it is thought will be elected without a dissenting vote is as follows: President Benjamin F. Cummins, Exmoor Country Club. Vice President Alan L. Reid, Chicago Golf Club. Treasurer Lewis L. McArthur, Glen View Qoll Club. Secretary George A. Carpenter, Onwentsia Club. Directors Edward C. Potter, Midlothian Country Club; Stewart Stickney. St. I5uls Country Club; John S. Sweeney. Detroit Country Club; John D. Cady, Rock Island Golf Club; II. J. .Leavitt, Omaha Country Club. A number of changes of minor importance will be made in the by-laws, including the transfer of the custody of the Alexander trophy, emblenatlc of the women's Western championship, to the Women's Western Golf Association. While most of this business will be of a cut-and-drled character, some discussion Is looked for when the

resolution relating to the barring of junior members from tournaments held under the Jurisdiction of the association comes up. This was presented to the annual meeting last year and is as follows: That none but regular members of clubs, members of this association, shall be eligible to compete In any event under the jurisdiction of this association. Junior members of clubs shall not be considered regular members. This at th' time of its presentation was considered of euffleient importance to be carefully thought over and action was deferred on it for a year. As the age limit for juniors differs in many of the clubs, and as there are a number of players who favor giving any player, of age. a chance to compete in any championship event, a lively discussion may result, although the supporters of the juniors are likely to be in the minority. Judging from the applications received by the executive committee, the bidding for the two championships now under control of the association is not likely to be spirited unless other clubs make application at the eleventh hour. The open championship never creates much of a scramble and as the Kent Country Club, of Grand Rapids, which has asked for it. is well qualified to handle it. it is more than likely the contestants will do battle over the Michigan course. Westward Ho and the Chicago Golf Club have applied for the amateur championship. A dinner for the delegates at the Grand Pacific Hotel will precede the meeting. Those desirous of attending who have not already notitied Secretary Atkinson of their intention to do .jo are requested to communicate with him by noon to-morrow. The annual meeting of the Women's Western Golf Association will take place on Thursday at lu a. m. in the greenroom of the Auditorium Annex. A new plan is on foot by means of which it is expected the membership of twentyone will be at least doubled this year. The plan Is to have the team contests conducted In groups, and then to have the winning team of each gToup play off at the time of the Western championship tournament. Following is the 1904 ticket: President Mrs. W. A. Alexander, Exmoor. Vice President Mrs. W B. Mcllvalne, Onwentsia. Secretary Mrs. A. T. II. Brower, Evanston. Treasurer Mrs. H. A. Beidler, Lake Geneva. Executive committee Mrs. Alan Reld. Chicago; Mrs. R. H. Donnelley. Midlothian. Miss Elizabeth Congdon. Glen View. Some important amendments to the constitution will be acted upon at this meeting. The management hopes that every Chicago club belonging to the W. W. G. A. will send two delegates to the meeting. COLOXELS READY FOR EARLY PRACTICE LOUISVILLE. Feb. 2S. Most of the members of the Louisville baseball team have already begun work for the spring practice season, which begins within the next three weeks. The Colonels are not ordered to report here until March 25, but Pat Bohannon. the Frankfort twirler. who was Tebeau's mainstay at the pitching slab last season, arrived in the city yesterday and stated that the delegation from the state capital had begun work in earnest. Bohannon, Shortstop Hoffman, Catcher Downing and Pitcher Wright, all Frankfort boys, have signed with the Colonels, and Bohannon says that all agreed last week to begin work for the season. They entered the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium at Frankfort, and for four days last week worked until their muscles were sore and their limbs ached. Many ball players do not believe In this sort of training, preferring to start in the season fresh, but the Frankfort bunch, with the exception of hunting during the winter, has h.id little exercise. All of them want to make good during the coming season, and each is eager to prepare himself for the strenuous exercise which will be taken at Eclipse Park before the Arst exhibition game is played the latter part of March. "We have all workel hard with the gymnasium apparatus." said Bohannon last night, "and we will continue with this work until we come down here on Thursday night. March 24. Most of the boys are in fair shape now. but they want to be ready for any sort of exercise that Tebeau wants to put us through to At us for the season, and we are working accordingly as a preliminary training stunt. All are enthusiastic and eager for the season to open, and. take my word for it, all will make good. All of us are big. husky fellows. They call us the 'Big Four' about Frankfort! and we will try to deserve this name." MUXROE IS THE MAX Whom James J. Jeffries Will Pick as His Next Opponent. PHILADELPHIA, Feb. .-Champion Jim Jtffries said after the battle that In his opinion Munroe had the best of the argument. "Munroe put up a clever Aght and really surprised me by his showing." said Jeff.

A MASTERPIECE BY A FAMOUS ARTIST

e

'MORNING," BY COROT THE REPRODUCTION of the landscape by Corot, which is given free with next Sunday's Journal, Is typical of a large part of the productions of the genius of the prolific poet-painter. It is one of the best known of this famous painter's canvases, the original bringing $25,030 at public sale in 1881. It possesses the pcetic inspiration, the refined and delicate color and th? concise expression of the essential elements of the beauty of landscaoe which distinguished him as the greatest landscape painter the world has yet knownIt is no wonder that the art of Corot was great He possessed so kind and lovable a nature that he endeared himself to ail who knew him. "Paoa Corot" was the sobriquet which men of his own profession bestowed upon him. While he was not a nun of mu:h education he possessed a great fund of that native Intelligence which we call common sense and considerable business ability. His untiring industry resulted in the production of a quantity of work which is most extraordinaay, considering his uniform success in attaining his high aim. The fleeting and uncertain effects of light and air were seized bv him and reproduced in a most limited rane of values and the narrowest possible gamut of color. With delicate grays, greens, pals violet, yellow and salmon tints he produced harmonies into which he threw a vibrant force by a tou:h of vermillion (as the cap of ihi fisherman in this picture) and a few positiv notes cf brown and black. Jean Baptiste Camile Corot was bcrn in Paris In 1795. He received his early education In Rouen, and became apprenticed to a cloth merchant in Paris vhen quite young. When twent-slx years of age he began his art studies in the studio of Micha;bn, and the nxt year entered the studio of Victor Bertin. In 1827 he first exhibited in the Salon. Recognition came slowly, but by the time hs reached the age of seventy he had amassed a considerable fortune. He received a s;cond-cliss medal in 1333 and a first in 134b. In 1874 a special gold medal was struck and presented to him by his fellow-artists as a token of their esteem. He was made a chevalier of the Legion of Honor in 1846 and promoted, to the grade of officer in 1867. He died Feb 22, 1875.
