Wagge's time is considered remarkable in that In was running indoors on a wood floor that has no distinction as being conducive to good record. It is unfortunate that the speedy freshman will be unable' to be Keen in intercollegiate competition this year, but in lyl5 he should bo one of the be-t college miiers in tho country.

Baker of Oberlin, the fastest mibr the west has produced In a decade, now holds the gym record. 4:l5. It will take phenomenal rurning to lower this figure, but Judging by Wagge's great work at Chicago Saturday. Notre Dame fans are confident that tho first y. ar man will be able to hang up a new mark.

by ur;n s. rci.i.MKTox. Illinois light lovers want a boxing law. Wisconsin has one: and Milwaukee and Raeirie are only a hop. step and jump from Chicago. So Chi-
' cagoans have had an opportunity to : watch the workings of the Wisconsin i boxing law. The result is that Illinois
has about as much chance of getting
i boxing bill through the legislature is Charlie Kbbctts has of being a
director of the Federal league. Boxers who have fought in Milwaukee under the new bill are around Chicago complaining that they have not been paid the money seemingly guaranty d them under the provision tif the bill and that they have beci warned that If tho attempt to collect it will "crab the entire game." Worse than that, even, it is charged by lighters and by others that favoritism is being shown and that certain lighters who do not obey the desires of the clitpie in power are punished, while the local favorites may do as they please. The punishments and threats of punishment inflicted upon Packey McFarland and Ad Wolga-st have an odd look. McFarland's legal proceedings are likely to bring out a lot more than some of those Interested may desire. The worst feature of the present Wisconsin boxing situation is that the Chicago cheaters are gaining a nig foothold. The no-declsion rule, while good In Intent, opens the way to the coarsest kind of cheating. In thr Rivers-Wolgast tight two flagrant efforts were made to bribe Chicago newspaper men to decide in favor of Rivers. There was a large amount of money bet in Chicago the day before the llht the "wise" money going on Rivers. The word was slipped around that Rivers was to get the decision, and the agreement in the majority of cases was that the decision was to be left to one Chicago paper. The even-

ilY'W. J. M U RLTH. NBW YORK. Feb. 1 u.org iniz.l baseball as represented by the i.:urdy aim of Charles H. Ebbeu pnsllj,.nL of the Brooklyn Nationals, launch-.!, its finft bolt against the Federal league invasion Monday when he offered Kbbetts field to. the Jersey City club of the Intenational league. Pres. Tom Fogarty of the "Skeeters" refused however, to accept the boon. Whether his reluctance arose from loyalty ! his patrons or from a difference of opinion as to the correct rental could not be determined. Neitht r side was willing to talk, but both parties were closeted with Pres. Barrow of the International league until well after midnight. They intimated soni'j startling statements awaited tho jur. row. Never in the annals of th national pastime has such an air of mystery pervaded a gathering as that evidenced in the various headquarters of tho three leagues involved. Nearly all th-j major league magnates were on hand. They could be found In Uttlo clusters talking in whispers. During the afternoon these club owners were thrown into a flurry of excitement upon receipt of a telegram from Ban Johnscn, president of the American league, saying that the Chicago Federal league forces had set out for tho metropolis. Ban left on the same train. Whether ho la bringing his foeman captive here, or whether he has promised that some compromise would be reached no one would hazard a guess. Somcrs a Busy 3 Tan. Charles Somers of Cleveland, who backed Ran Johnson in the attempt to bribe Pres. Weeghman of the Chicago Federals with the Toledo American association franchise transferred to Chicago was one of the most active agents of the big czar. With the aid of several other American league club owners he succeeded In rounding up Charles W. Murphy of the Chicago Nationals. These men were closeted all afternoon. "I will not discuss the Federal league," said Murphy, after the conference. "I have lumbago and that la more annoying to me than any 'outlaw' proposition possibly could be. Tills you may say' for me, though. I absolutely will not stanTJ for any thirrt team in Chicago. No city is big enough for three leagues." Most of tho magnates refused to discuss the Federal situation. They said they would wait until the Joint conference of the National &nd American, leagues before expressing any opinion. On tho other hand, Charles Vomers' and two or three National league men 'relieve the scheme of launching a third major league under the auspices of the National commission might bi the proper solution of the dif$jculty. This will be proposed in tho Joint conference by one of the most active men of the National league. Dreyfim Not Won leal. Barney Dreyfus of Pittsburgh poohpoohed the Federals. "I rented them their grounds." said he. "They did not pay salaries after last July. "Deacon Phillip! cannot collect a nickel. They played to 2C.000 persons In 5 games last year. Phllllpl told me at the end of the season he carried five men and 11 uniforms, lie had to recruit off the sand lots to get a nine la each foreign town. They had to borrow money to get out of Kansas City for they were stranded with only $13." The International league In Its meeting Monday adopted without change the schedule prepared by Pres. Barrow. This will be mado public on Feb. 17. A re-convened pepslon of the annual meeting of the National league will begin Tuesday in the Waldorf-Astoria. The leagues' board of directors will meet prior to the regular meeting. ROWING SEASON OPENED CAMBRIDGE. Mass.. Feb. 10. Harvard'5 rowing season was opened Monday afternoon. 60 men presenting
