OFFER FOR ALL-CHICAGO TEAM.
Cochema "Wants Local Stars to Play at
St. Louis Christmas Day.
A post-season football game between
an all-Chicago eleven and St. Louis University of St. Louis is the latest
gridiron possibility. Captain Walter
Steffen of the 1908 Maroons yesterday
received a letter from Coach "Eddie"
Cochems of St. Louis asking him to ar
range for such a contest, and the Mid
way star may decide to take up the
proposition.
According to Cochems' suggestion, the
game would be played on Christmas
day and the proceeds would be devoted
to charity. Steffen has not decided
whether or not he will try to get a
team together for the game.
"Cochems wishes to play the game
on a strictly amateur basis," said Stef
fen last night. "He writes that most
of his regulars are willing to take part
in the game, and says he is anxious to play a team of Chicago players and ex-players. I don't know what will be done about it as yet." -
captain will be elected by the "W" men
early ln the winter term. To secure a track and field team "W the man must win a first In a dual meet or a first or second in a state or triangular meet.
REDS FALL ONCE MORE. Havana, Dec. 5. The Almendares
captured the fifth game of the series, shutting out for the second time the
visitors through superb fielding and pitching. The Reds were weakened greatly by the absence of Johnny Kane, who went home on account of his wife's
sickness, and Lobert, who was unable
to play on account of a slight indispo
sition. Mitchell played third and in the outfield. Two pitchers and a catcher were in the outfield for the Reds. Score by innings: Cincinnati 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Almendares 1 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 Hits Cincinnati, 6; Almendares, 8. Errors Cincinnati, 5; Almendares, 1. Batteries Dubuc, McLean; Mendez, Gonzales.

Chicago's colony of baseball moguls will leave tomorrow for New Tork to attend the annual league meetings. There is a possibility that President Murphy of the Cubs will not be able to leave on account of sickness in his
family. It would be an unusual National league gathering if the owner of the pennant-winning team were ab
sent, but that condition is quite likely. Secretary Thomas of the Cubs will go to offer his defense before the national commission in the ticket scalping case, and unless Murphy is able to leave Thomas will represent the Chicago club in the league meeting. Comiskey and Johnson, Secretary McRoy of the American league and Charles Fredericks, the business manager of the White Sox, have booked reservations on the Twentieth Century for tomorrow and will hit New Tork in a well-defined body early Monday morning.

New Tork, Dec. 5. The week which New Tork annually gives to bicycle racing begins tonight in Madison
Square Garden, with the usual inter
national championship meet. This pre
liminary affair, however, is merely a cocktail to what the appetite of the
lovers of bicycling for the anual six
days' grind, which will be started at
one minute past midnight tomorrow
night.
While cycling as a sport has steadily
declined in public favor for a decade
and more, this six-day survival of the good old times seems to have lost none yt its popularity. Thousands turn out
each year to witness the event and some of the devotees have been known
to remain in the garden for two and
three days at a time.
The list of entries this year is calculated to furnish some good sport. As has usually been the case ln late years
the foreign riders are to predominate Walter Rutt and John Stol, who com
posed the German-Holland team which captured first honors in last year's race,
head the list of foreign teams. Other European entries noted for their speed
and endurance includes Francois Faber, Hongri Lafourcade, Victor Dupre, Leon Georget, Roger Barbrousse, Maurice Brocco, and Albert Edward Wills, the diminutive English pace follower, who recently established . the world's record by riding 71 milee and 905 ytj.rds in an hour.

Interstate Association I'nanimonsljr
Vote For the Big Tai-Ret Event. New Tork.i Dec. 5. Chicago is to have the Grand American Handicap for the second time. At a meeting of the Interstate association, held in this city, it was unanimously decided to have the greatest shooting event in the world at the Chicago Gun vlub grounds in 1909. Secretary Fred H. Teeple of the Chicago Gun club appeared before the committee, which represents all the leading ammunition and firearms firms in the country, and his claim won the day. The record of the Grand American of 1907, when the greatest array of trap shots ever collected for a target tourney was on hand, was pointed to as showing th eadvantages of Chicago as the site.
