ODDS & ENDS OF SPORT

The St. Louis Nationals used sixteen pitchers last season. Selbach is the only Washington player signed for next season. He receives $4,000 a year. The salary list of the Boston American players the past season was not far from $56,000. There has been bnt little betting thus far on the Fitzsimmons-Gardner bout in Ban Francisco. Young Corbett has several engagements before he reaches Ban Francisco for his fight in December with Ben Jordan. Harry Lemoyne, who holds several swimming records, has turned out to be a valuable man on Harvard’s football team. / Jeffries’ appearance in New York did not create any great stir. Jeff is not the magnetic champion that Corbett was. He does things in such a matter-of-fact way that he attracts but little attention from the sports. The recent decisive defeat of the University of Pennsylvania eleven by Colombia University at the Polo Grounds, New York, by a score of 18 to 6, was a bitter pill for the Quakers. The result of the game was one of the most sensetioual upsets In the recent history of football. Cresceus was not destined to hold the trotting championship at 1:59% for long. JjOtx Dillon’s wonderful performance at Memphis, in which she went the mile in I:sßft, will undoubtedly remain a record for many days to come. Lon Dillon’s mile was made under advene conditions and without the use of n wind shield. This year has been notable for the equine records that have been overthrown. The pacing and trotting marks have been reduced with such frequency that It has IMS lgisl the power of the average pe> eon to keep track of the records.
