Wilmington, Del., will be much in the
limelight If a bill Introduced In that
Stato Is passed. It provides for 15
round boxing contests. While It Is
generally believed here that six-round
fights aro tho right distance to get the
best out of fighters, it Is agreed that
once In a while a 15-round battle would
be pleasing where men continuously
fought draws or were dissatisfied with
the decisions made over the shorter
routes. Wilmington is so well situated
that a big match would draw hundreds
from this and other cities. If tho
sport Is properly handled the 15-round
affairs could be made very attractive.
The measure hasn't become a law yet,

CHICAGO, Fob. 2. A terrific pace wni
maintained by tho riders In the six-day

leading tenmn had covered 2093 miles and
5 laps, 23 mllca behind the record.
A bad spill following n long scries of
"Jams" caused a. painful Injury to Gor
don Walker.
The accident hnppened JUBt at the end
of the 100th hour. Tho 10 men on the
track at tho time were going about 30
miles nn hour when Bobby Wnlthour,
riding In thu upper sldo of tho track, at
tempted to pass the bunch. Tho front
wheel of his machine scraped that of
Reggie McNamnra's and down the steep
Incline he crashed, carrying Walker and
Pete Droboch with him. Walker was un
conscious when the physicians arrived
and was carried from the track. It was
found that he was nufferlng from a
broken upper vertebrae and minor hurts.
His partner, Hoot, withdrew from the
race.

Indorsing Another Wild Bill
"Wo aro such stuff as dreams are made
of." -Avon Bill.
Aye, "IVWInm, in your simple English
way,
Once in a while you rise and swat the
ball,
So that a sporting bard might Justly say
"This Shakespeare's not so bush
league, after all,"
"Such stuff as dreams are made of"
rounds it up;
The simple sum and substance of the
smear;
The brimming phrase that fills the final
cup,
And tells the full-bloicn story of each
year.
For I remember well ffte soggy play
Of Browns and Yanks in double
headed spill;
Ach, Qottand how I dreamed that
summer day
Of winter's snow-bound rest from
such a bill.
But here In winter's rest, with sluggish
pen,
Where lawyers rant and magnates
rave and swear,
I even dream of Browns and Jteds again;
And, tearing at my collar, cry for air.
The Wonderful Trojan
The passing of Iteulbach leaves only
three of the old Cub regime still wear
ing the harness. These three are Bvers,
Tinker and Schulte, Which recalls
again the wonder of the Trojan's
career. He probably will be the last
of the Cubs under the Big Tent, and
yet of them all he had less physical
strength to build on and to carry him
along; and of them all he used up
more nervous energy and gave more of
his soul to each game.
Half-shots
Hell hath no fury like a short missed
putt.
Once n his cherjke'red career the
ecstatlo duffer shoots an 85 and Is then
"off his game" till hla mortal clay turns
back to dust.
Qolf and life are a good bit alike. The
average entry spends threo-fpurths of

Brains and Courage
"Sportsman," In the Boston tllobe,
brings out an Important point. "The
Hoston Americans of 1903," he observes,
"deservo to bo rated more on their
courage than their bralne."
Brains In baseball or any other game
Is too often confused with courage. A
good game ball club keeps on fighting
nnd thereby keeps Us head up and Its
oyes open. In this viy, through its
nerve. It Is able to keep track of pro
ceedings at large and to be ready to
seize any handy opening In a pinch.
If tho bralnest ball club on earth be
gan to quit, there would soon be a suc
cession of bonehead plays.
"The only time," says Johnny Evers,
"that I ever lost heart and let my head
sag was In that tenth Inning of the
third world series game." And by so
doing Johnny came near making a
bone of historic mold.
Courage
When It comes to any direct defini
tion of courage In sport, we pass the
buck. Having seen a man who never
quit in a football game or in a baseball
game, quit cold in more than one golf
match, the answer is too badly tangled
to be unraveled here.
The Oood King Arthur Series
'When good King Arthur ruled Ms land,
And made a lucky strike,
Wo wonder that he never thought
Of murder or the Jlfc?.
ffo wonder thflt he Justified
The love that was his court's;
lie over nad to spend fsls ftjua "
At penning winter sports,
"Feds are after a minor league." We
know of about eight tny ca purchase
for a bat bag.
BOUGHTON'S CASE
MAY BE SETTLED
AT MEETING TODAY
Winner of American Scho
lastic Championship Cross
country Race Is Charged
With Professionalism.
NEW YOrtK, Feb, 2. Chairman J. W.
Stumpf, of the Registration Committee
of tho Metropolitan Association, Kew
York city, has Informed locals Interested
that a decision In tho case of Charles
Roughton, the Central High schoolboy
charged with profesilonallsm, probably
would bo Announced today or tomorrow"
Roughton was charged with accepting
pay as a playground Instructor.
Roughton won the American scholastic
cross-country lace held In this city, and
his dlsiiuallllcntlon will make a decided
change In the team scoring.
When that ense Is disposed of the Reg
istration Committee will have only one
Important matter to decide and will look
forward to a well-earned rest
Ted Meredith nnd Tom Halpln, whose
rivalry Is depended on to add jest to thu
present Indoor season, will bo put to ft
sovero test In the COO-yard special at the
gnmes of the Cth Company, I3th negl
ment, Brooklyn, on Lincoln's Rlrthday.
The dlstnnce Iff one that should suit both
men, and by February 12 there Is every
reason to believe that both filers will he
nt the top of their form. Halpln, who
was scarcely wound up when beaten by
Meredith nt tho Mlllroso games, has lm
proved greatly, as shown by his rrtce
last Saturday, when he rompod nway In
the final quarter Of tho relay and ran the
dlstnnce In CO 1-5 seconds. He wrta
strong enough nt tho finish to have gone
the extra 60 yards at the same spoed.
A rnce that Is likely to attract more
attention than any sprint run In this
district for many years has been added
to the program of the New York A. C.
gnmes to be held In Madison Bquara Gar
den, Now York, on Wednesday of next
week. A special 70-yard scratch event
has been Included, for the purpose of Jglv
Ing .Toe I-oomls a chance to get oven for
the beating Alvnh Meyer gave him by s.
narrow margin at tho Fordham games
on Saturday night.
