Alxjri t«W| flti nWHTW bladder NEWS OF THE SPO TROTTING INCREASES IN PAST YEAR. 1.368 MEETS Boeing Featured Fairs— Hew Rules of. Harness Racing Is Responsible— Secretary Thinks Entrance Fees WIU Re Abandoned Moro trotting meetings were held iu America the past season than in auv other year in the history of the sport. Up to Dei-ember 1, W. If. Gooher, secre tary of the National Trotting Associ ation, had received reports of 1,36S meetings hehl this year on tracks in the United States and Canada. How closely harness racing interests are bound np with the fairs, big and lit tle, is indicated by the fact that "5 per cent, of all the trotting meetings held last season tcok place between August 1 and October 15. This is the period during which nearly all fairs are held, aud it is probable that more than 75 per cent, of all the races be tween these dates were trotted on the fair grounds of the States and the Do minion. The 1,368 meetings of the season were held on something like 1,200 dif ferent tracks. About 1.300 of the meet ings were on half-mile tracks. There are 99 mile tracks in the United States and Canada, but some of these are used only for training purposes and not for racing. Meetings were held on •49 mile tracks this year. There are in the United States aud Canada four trotting tracks of one-third of a mile in length. Three of these are at South Woodstock, Conn.; North Washington, Pa., and Russell, Out. Mr. Gocher attributes the unpre cedented number of trotting meetings this year to the new rules of harness racing which do not penalize horses for records made in losing races. These rules and the new time allowances have, he says, brought hundreds of outclassed horses back to the circuits, to the mu tual benefit of their owners and the associations holding the meetings. De spite the return of all these horses, however, the average uumber of start ers in a race is steadily and rapidly falling off. '"From the increased number of races and the growing scarcity of horses I am led to the day is close at hand when entrance fees will be done away with at all fairs, if not every where else, ' ho said: ''Starters are already in such demand that Nashville, Tenn.; Allentown, Pa., and some other fairs have made all purses free and open. I think you will see more of them do so next year. The trotting races are the great attraction for the public at all fairs, and there is no good reason why the horse owners should continue to pay for thv privilege of giving the entertainment." COBB ACAINTEADS LEAGUE Hangs Up That Honor Two Years in Succession—Eddie Collins Second —Twelve .800 Hitters The official batting averages of the American League for the season ol 1914 show that Tyrus Raymond Cobb, of the lVtroit Tigers, is the champion hitter. This is practically the eighth time in succession that CoW> has led the Amer ican League in batting. He was nosed out in 1908 by ••Dode" C'riss, of St. Louis, .341 to .324, but took part m b-it 64 games at bait to Cobb's lt>o, making only hits in 82 times at bat to Cobb's 188 hits in 581 times at bat. the Tiger star may weil be award ed the honors for that year. Cobb also led the league in 1907,"and has finish ed above all rivals in 1909, 1910 1911. 1912, 1913 and 1914. Cobb wins the sticking champion ship this year with an average of .365, his lowest mark since 1908, when he wound up with .324. Ld-lie Collins, of the Athletic*, is second with .344, and for the third place Tris Speaker, of the Red £h>x, and Jew? Jaekson, of the Naps. are tied with .335. Only twelve players batted .300 in the American league for the season, those in the select circle, other than the four already mentioned being Leliveit, of Cleveland; Baker, of Phila delphia; Ho-Witzel. of Boston; Craw ford, of Detroit; Mclnnis. of Philadel phia; I-'ournier. of Chicago; Cree, of New York, and Barbare, of Cleveland.

SOON TO SOUND TAPS ON BOXING IN CALIFORNIA State That Has Furnished Many Fa mous Battles to Eliminate Big Bouts—"December 15 Is Closing Day —Championships Decided There Rack in the early nineties, when ■lames J. Corbett first stepped into ring prominence, California began to make pugilistic history, ami ever since t : hut time tthe "liolden State" has beeu look ed u |x>n as a great center for the main tenance and encouragement of fistic sport. Many championship battles have been fought there and followers of the for tunes of pugilists in every class, from heavies to bantams, evidenced unusual interest when bouts were scheduled at San !■ rancisco, l.iis Angeles or any other of the many places where glove encoun ters were decided and titles passed. Two generations of fistic champions have enjoyod the privileges afforded i»y the State of California, aud thousands of followers of tihe sport have boon well satisfied with the results. But all this is to be changed and the boxe«rs will have to seek fresh fields outside of California. At the recent State election t'he ma jority of California's voters decided that pugilism should not be a/evredited as legal sport, thus making it man ilatory for the boxers t-o sefrfcle tileiir differences as to relative merits else where. At midnight of Tuesday, De cember 15, "taips" will he sounded for other than amateur bouts of four rounds duration in the principal pa cific coast State, and after a rather prosperous quarter of a century, pugil ism will be tabooed. Several notable heavy wedgiht contests luive taken plaice in San Francisco since the memorable sixty-one round draw between James J. t'orbett and Peter Jackson was fought in IS9I. This served to bring Corbett into the lime light, and withiu eight en months aftet ward the then young (►ank clerk had annexed the heavyweight honors by de feating .John 1,. Sullivan, somewhat un expectedly at New Orleans in Septem ber, 1891 The young California)! was not considered seriously as a possible contender by Sullivan's legion of ad mirers and the Pacific coast was elated wjhen CoHbett brought batik tlhe chani pioaisihip to his native State. Among the many bouts between big men decided in San Francisco in the last twelve years the following may be mentioned: Jim Jeffries knocked out Bob Fitz sinimons in eight rounds. This was in 1902, just four years after Bob I-itz simmons had lost the champions/hip to the big boiler maker at Cenev Island in eleven rounds, .lack Munroe lasted only two rounds with Jeffries in the follow ing year, and in 1903, Jeffries retired, but only temporarily. Jack O'Brien vanquished Pit mi in "ions at San Francisco in twelve rounds that same year, and iu 1906 Tommy Burns, who was the recognized succes sor of Jeffries, defeated Marvin Hart in twenty rounds. Twelve months after that Burns defeated Jack O'Brien in a twenty-round bout at l«os Angeles and knocked out Bill Squires in a single round at Colma in 1907, where two years later the late Stanley KetV'hel was knock el out in twelve rounds by Jack Johnson. The last of the big bouts was that between Gunboat Smith and Arthur Pelkv last January. Among the lighter boxers the best lads in each division have beeu seen in action in San Franciste© or JJOS An geles during the last ten years. EASTERN LEAGUERS WIN Harry Hough's Foul Goal Shooting; Takes Game From Harris burg, 42 to 20 The Trenton Eastern League five de- 1 feated the Harrisburg team in the j Annory gaane Saturday evening by the j score of 42 fro 29. Hough's foul £«al ! shooting won for the Eastern Leaguers while the Harrisburgers had difficulty in shooting fouls. In their floor work the locals equalled Trenton, but Baum bach was off on his foul shooting. Despite the one-sided score the game was fast and well played during both periods, while several shots made by Hough and Baunvbach bordered on the impossible. Haddow played a good game at center and Attieks and Sour bier each played good defensive games. For Trenton Frost and Hough were in- j dividual stais. The line-iup and eaimianarv; Harrisburg.

The comtnunicu tion follows ami it is self explana tory: " In choosing this team we have <lotio it wilihont any partiality, favor, or homo spirit. We have placed iai our choice, men who we think most deserving of the position they are placed in. Stiteler, 01 TiVh, is without a doubt the man for left end and Keiui, who we lhavc chosen as second string mini would have show ed or given a better chase for the job. livers, of t'entral, showed re markable football knowledge and play ed a good game. Wren falls in for second string man iu this department. fMoreitte, of Steelton, though a fresb anan, played a good game. This position is a little in doubt as to which it be longs to, but we think that LMorette has it over Smacker of IVntral, whom we played on the second team. "There is no doubt about Norris, of S'teelton, for he completely out classed any center he played agaunst this year. His spirit also added won derfully to the results obtained at Steelton iu their most important game*. Cless is second choice here. Wier, of Tech. has been chosen for riglit guard with Levit*, of Steelton, second. TVch has in Kutz one of the best tackles they over ha>l and he could hold this joi> .down on many of the smaller colleges with his 'present knowledge of the game. Crump, of Steelton, is our sec ond choice. Emanuel, the big end of Tech, had little tronHile in holding down rig'ht end. Black, of Central, is chosen as itihe second string man. '•Quarterback lay between Rote, of Central, and Britscli, of Tech, but BQte, without a doubt, outclassed his Tech opponent whom we have placed on the second team. Steelton had t'hreo mighty good men and those following the games of the three high schools will point these t'hreo men out without hesi tating. Psiyhoflf as we all know was the big man in the Central High games and he leads these three. He was new in running the team, 'but. pushed them through like a veteran. He was very aggressive and a niigbty good tackier. He is to <bo feared by Central and Tech for the following two years. Rath, of Central, is second choice here. Beaclli, of Tech, is our clioive for R. H. 8., with Gardner, of Steelton, second. We all know where fullback goes, but we would also like to say that Beck had no De vine, Gougler, Clark, P. 'Morreit't, At ticks, Ixvwrence or Suyda-m to play against. Beck is one of the best 'high school players ever turned out of Har rislburg, but with this he was complete ly out of liis class. Smelt zer is second choice at fullback. The line up: First Team "It. E., Stiteler, Tech; L. T., Central; L. G., Morrett, Steelton; C., Xorris, Steelton; R. G., Wier, Tech; R. T., Kutz, Tech; R.
