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

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.

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.

STEELTON CORRESPONDENT
PICKS RICH SCHOOL TEAMS
Bote Given Preference Over Brltsch
for Quarterback—Beck at Fullback
With Dayhoff and Black in Rack
held
< orrespondents, who sign themselves
Steelton have picked from the three
teams, Tech, Ceutral and Steeltou, an
All'll igh school team. 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.,

Xorris, Steelton; R. G., Wier, Tech; R.
