he won recently. It is very likely, therefore, that he is anxious since he has reached his best form to hold all amateur records from two to ten miles. Bon hag says he will not attempt to run if the weather is not to his liking, but if conditions are as favorable as they are now be can be expected to establish brand new figures from the two mile mark to the finish of his five mile special. Police to Control Football. Legislation which would require all football games in the District of Columbia to be played under a license of the police, who would be privileged to stop any game when it became dangerous to life and health, has been suggested by Corporation Counsel Thomas as one of the direct results of this year’s long list of fatalities on the gridiron. The effect of the legislation which is proposed would make the police the immediate supervisors of the game. While the game proceeded according to rules which did not endander life and limb the struggle would be allowed to continue, but when the lives of the players were endangered the police would have power to step in. Supporters of the suggestion point out that it imposes no hardship upon the game which has not been imposed upon a kindred sport—boxing—by the police of many cities. Btricklett Barred From Brooklyn. “SpltbaH” Elmer Stricklett will not be in the lineup of the Brooklyn baseball team next year, according to information given out at the headquarters of the national baseball commission in Cincinnati. “Stricklett can’t play with Brooklyn next year or the year after.” declared Chairman Herrmann of the national commission recently. “According to the agreement between the California league and the National association, none of the contract or agreement jumpers now playing on the coast can leave that circuit in less than two years, and some of them have to remain out there for four years before they can be sold.” New Race Track In Mexico.
