contestatns are necessary to keep the men on the track and in the race. As the hours pass one by one the teams are breaking up and the men succumb to exhaustion. Two of the seven leaders were -forced to drop back during the evening', and now but five head the list. Victor Dupre, one of the French team, collapsed during the early hours of yesterday and could not . relieve his partner, Gorget: Dupre

went to bed after his turn on the track yesterday morning and when his trainers went to arouse him he wa's "unconscious. All efforts to revive him failed except to bring to semi-consciousness. Meanwhile Georget held his ' own with the leaders for more than six hours, but finally dropped back from sheer ex

Boston, Mass., Dec. 9. Jem Drlscoll, featherweight champion of England, continued his conquest of the 122pounders last night by knocking out Charley Griffin, champion of Australia, in the eleventh round of a scheduled twelve-round contest before the Armory club. Griffin was floored twice in the final round, being put away " by a hard right to the jaw after going

down for the count of eight from a j

similar blow. Although Griffin made a good showing In the early rounds, he was no match for the shifty Briton, who kept straightening his opponent up with a straight left to the jaw. Driscoll played a waiting gam?, prefering to wear Griffin down to taking the risk of running into a knockout punch. He saw his opportunity at the beginning of the eleventh round and

sailed in to finish the battle. He straightened Griffin up with a hard left to the face, and followed this blow with a stiff right to the jaw which put the Australian on queer street. After that Griffin was as a toy In the hands of Driscoll, who waited till he had a

FRED WALKER MAY SIGN WITH COMISKEY,

.Fred Walker, former University of Chicago baseball and football star, may be a member of the White Sox ball team next year. Charles A. Comiskey, presi4eut of the Sox, has written to Walker asking his terms and it Is probable that the two will- come to some sort of agreement before Comiskey takes his team on their spring training trip.

Nap Lajoie has returned to Cleveland after a visit to his old home at Woonsocket, R, I. Now that Longboat has been matched with Dorando, It will be possible to find out whether he is a good Indian or a dead Indian. A director of the Pittsburg baseball club says that President Dreyfuss does not control the club. Perhaps Barney has had to hock the outfit to Honus Wagner. Owners of the Hannlbol, Mo., baseball club are trying to get a franchise in the Central association. .Hannibal won

That miserable Harvard team managed to get one representative on several of the "All" teams. One Ham Fish. No one knows how Fish got on unless it was that the "choice pickers" thought he belonged to some "Aggie" school in Utah. While Bud Sharpe, the Newark first baseman, was repairing the roof of a barn recently a friend called to him that a story was afloat that Bud was slated for the' New York Highlanders. Bud imediately fell from the roof when the Highlanders were mentioned. William Buckley of Rochester .has

TWO HUNDRED POUNDS OF TAR ON FIRE,

Peculior Fire Rages on 'East Chicago Street LastjCVIght.

East Chicago, Dec. 9. Two hundred pounds of burning tar In the middle ot One Hundred and Forty-eighth street, last night demanded the attention of the local fire department for about half an hour. The fire started with a small leak In one of the largo tar boilers of W. G. Proudfoot & Co., who are paving the street with brick. The excessive heat caused the tar to run like water, and inside of five minutes the entire district was lighted by the flames. The tar boiler itself was badly dam

aged by the heat of the flames, while property in the neighborhood was endangered for a few minutes. It will be

necessary to tear up about twenty-five

square feet of the paving, the brick being badly discolored and cracked by

the tarry fluid.

ANCIENT BALL FOR HERRMANN.

New York, Dec. 9. 1M1 uncertainty due to the shortage of funds having been dispelled, Columbia's crew candidates began the season's training yesterday. The start of training Is late this year, but Coach Rice feels hopeful of whipping his men into condition in time. Last year's varsity has been weakened by the loss of only one man, Snevily, who has been graduated.

DISMANTLES BALL PARK. Vlcksburg. Miss., Dec. 9. Any plans that the Chicago Cubs may have prepared for part of their spring training at the local park were sidetracked yesterday by the demolishment of the grand stand and fence, all material to be sold for fuel. This leaves Vicksburg without a park, as several tracts have been sold for building sites. Vicksburg will hardly be in the Cotton State league next year, and the franchise being for sale.

That "Long John" Schommer, the Maroon basket-, ball star, will be protested by Illinois is the statement of the Daily Illini, which alleges that Schommer has played three years on the floor and is not exempt, despite the conference ruling last June.
