liP- TF$$-THE-EfflMUTE SPBSiYS (BY THE SQU1NTER)

BOXING, baseball and other sports will take a back seat today tn honor of racing-, for the season beginning at Jamestown is attracting great attention in the sporting world. Although each successive meeting at the Norfolk course liaB eclipsed its predecessor in the matter of class of contention, popular support and enthusiaam. General Manager Bob Levy is more than pleased this fall with the prospects of an unusually successful season with the thoroughbreds. LAST spring, tinier the theoretical disadvantage of competition from the half-mile course at Marlbourgh, lid., the Jockey club showed the prestige with horsemen by maintaining a high quality of sport throughout. This year, now that rumors of an outlaw meeting at Havre de Grace have subsided, nothing stands in the way of a term of sport well in keeping with the traditions of horse-loving Virginians. THERE can be no doubt of the gameness of the touring Giants and White Sox. To make this trip they expect to give up everything--on the way to Japan.

MILWAUKEE may be awarded the

1914 western roller skating championships. The events consume ten days and are held annually in March. It will be the first time Milwaukee has been given the world's championship.

TALE UNIVERSITY will re-enter the eastern intercollegiate baseball lepgue this season. This will make the organization consist of Cornell, the present champion, Columbia, Princeton. Pennsylvania, Dartmouth and Tale. The coming series of games promises to be well contested. The Princeton team loses but one man through graduation. Pennsylvania, Dartmouth and Columbia will all have fives up mostly of last year's men. The competition will begin In December.

DAN BROUTHERS can be added to the list of prospective managers of the Brooklyn baseball team. Dan bases his candidacy on the fact that he is a free agent, the same as Fielder Jones. BASEBALL by Injunction Is the latest wrinkle. Horace Fogel threatens to get out an injunction restraining the Federal league from restraining him from placing clubs In Philadelphia and TCew York.

RODEL A FOOTBALL STAUe BOXER Boer Who Meets Willard in Milwaukee Monday Is Due Tomorrow.

It U a peculiar coincidence that one of the beat present day heavyweight battlers should have made his first professional fight against a Wisconsin boy Art Nelson, the Wausau malder. The heavyweight referred to la George Rodel, the Boer, who fights elongated Jess Willard In Milwaukee next Monday night. The Wausau boxer made

a fairly good showing against Rodel and stuck for wvn rounds. Nelson is the man who beat Ned Carpenter at

Beloit Tuesday night. And now Rodel will box In Milwau

kee against another contender for the crown. Should Rodel defeat Willard

he will lay claim to the title. He claims he once defeated Gunboat Smith, conceded by eastern critics to be a wonderful ring man. After Roedl's match In Milwaukee the Boer expects to fight Carl Morris. Rodel wan born in South Africa. His parents Intended him for a carriage painter, but George declined to paint. He ran away from home and Joined the Boer army, with which he did good service. Then he went - to England to school. He was a star in athletics and especially football, because of his strength and nerve. In one gridiron contest an opposing player became too rough to ult George, and after the game Roedl and he engaged in a boxing match. The Boer was an tv victor. Then Rodel became an amateur boxer and defeated over fifty opponents.

Hi3 entrance into the boxing game

professionally followed, and Art Nel

son was his initial opponent and his first victim. Now the Boer football player wants to be champion heavyweight, and his manager, Jimmy Johnston, believes Rodel will soon possess

the title. eckersTllIeIs . strenuous game

Predicts Hardest Fought

Clash of Year When the Maroons Meet Gophers.

With the departure this afternoon of the Chioago football squadfor Minneapolis, where the Maroons will meet

the Gophers on Saturday in the most

important struggle of the western con

ference gridiron season, interest in the

result of this contest is growing keen

er, and all Indications point to a stren

uously fought battle, with neither

eleven having a decided advantage.

Whatever advantage one team has in one department rtf the sram la off

set by its weakness in another. Both elevens are composed of several veter- ' ans who have the experience of hard ; fought battles, and each is coached by a master of football. The men have .; been carefully, groomed and coached

lor this contest, which should be one of the most Interesting ever played on historic Northrup field. There Is no way of comparing the offensive and defensive strength of the teams. Neither has met a common foe and their styles of play are vastly different. The Gophers will rely on hard, concentrated attacks on and off the tackles, and the Maroons will use forward passes and end runs, whtch com

bined with Capt. Norgren's punting are expected to offset the Gophers' ground gaining methods.

DRAWING CARDS OENTING SCARCE 111 BOM GAME Promoter Declares Winning Youth Better Attraction Than a Champion.

Los Angeles, Nov. 13. "A card." said the old promoter, twisting the waxed ends of his muntache until they looked like twin gimlets, "is the thinsr that makes the matchmaker mumble and snort in his sleep and show up at the breakfast table with poker eyes. "There are some ten or twelve va

rieties of boxers In the open market. The 'card' is the rarest bird of all. And

without him the champion's title rusts and the promoter's date book goes to

seed. "By a 'card I mean a man with a following, a boxer whose name on thi billboard means a packed house, a chap that always gives the crowd a run for its money. "A youncrster of the 'comer brand, one with three or four wins in a row to his credit. Is the greatest 'card' of all. Properly handled, a boy like this will outdraw, in dollars and cents, a world's champion, two to one. "A promoter can always land a champion in the ring. In fact, the titleholders are the easiest of all the king-row men to handle. They know what they are worth, name their price and wait until they get it. The trick that sends the matchmaker to the nervine bottle is the developing of a a 'card' to meet the champion, the finding of a man who can balance the match and make It a real attraction. "By an odd freak of fate, practically every 'card" In the country has been side-tracked during the past six

months, leaving the situation little short of a waste planted in cactus, the

White Hopes.' "
