TO COMBINE ALL SPORTS. PMn Being Considered at Columbia — Football Balance $15/)00. The track association at Colombia University is making an effort to form a general athletic association to have general charge of all sports at Columbia. J. H. Kirby, graduate director of the track association, has been working with this end in view for some time and hopes to be succesiful. The movement Is one that has been made before at Columbia, bat no one has ever suc ceeded in carrying out the plan, and conse quently each sport at Columbia now has its own association, raises its own money, pays its own expenses and has its own directors. Occasionally one of the more prosperous sports will give a small sum to one of the weaker asso ciations, but as a rule there is no real co operation. The new pla-n would bring all of the sports under a generaJ head like the Tale or the Cor nell system. There would be a general treas urer, who would har.dle all the money. It is ex pected that the association would be largely supported by season tickets which are sold to students. These tickets provide admission to all games under the direction of the association, and serve the double purpose of giving tho students a chance to see the sports at a reason able rale and of getting a big crowd of sup portors out. At Cornell this plan is Jn force and is said to work well. An attempt to put the plan in force at Colum bia several years ago failed. The organization wa? partly formed at the instigation of President Low, but after l."<> season tickets had been sold to the students the plan fell fiat, and little has been heard of it since. As the matter stands now most of the smaller teams are in favor of the new association. One of the greatest ob stacles to its formation in the past was the football association. This organization earned larger profits than all the other sports put to gether, and naturally objected to paying them over to a general association. This objection will be removed by the disbanding of the foot ball association. There is at present $15,000 balance In the treasury, and F. A. Goetze. con troller of student organizations, has not yet de cided what will be done with it when the asso ciation disbands on January 31. The new association would have practically no effect on the crew. The money to support this is raised almost entirely by graduate and undergraduate subscriptions. As there are no gate receipts to support the crew, this method will have to continue, although It will be slight ly benefited In case any other team cams a large surplus. Fencing, tennis, lacrosse and pvmnastics are the sport* which would be in out benefited by the new organization. All of those depend upon student subscriptions for support and often are in a bad way financially. As the minor teams have won more championships in late yeans than any of the four major teams, many *o urabi? students believe that they are deserving o better support than they get. and are conse quently in favor of the new organization. RACING AT NEW-ORLEANS. Six Favorites Lose at City Park— Pasadena Meets Defeat. N^w-Orleans. Dec. li.-For the second time in five days six favorites went down to ignominious defeat at 'the City Park racetrick to-day: The fields were small but this did not seem to make it any easier for tho "regulars" to pick the winners. Three out sider* and three second choices won.. The steeple chase was the feature of the card. Scops was an even money favorite, but he blundered and lost his rider at the first Jump. Lionel, at 6 to 1. made all the running, fenced well and won as he pleased by twenty lenptiia: X R. Bra/lley's Bad News apaln suffered defeat. Ho was at odd* on. Mclntyre seemed to wait too long, and Thespian, which forced the pace, lasted long enough to win by a head in a hard drive. The flass at tho track were at half mast a? a mark of respect to the memory of Captain S. S. Brown. Jjena .1., liuretta and T>ie Regent were the win ning favorites at the Crescent City Jockey Club's track. The third race, at a mile and a sixteenth. was the feature of the card, but the contest lost much of its interest by the scratching of Novena «nd Phil Finch and the excusing of Monte, whose ]eg was injured. The contest was thus narrowed flown to a race between Pasadena and Little Boom. th* former a KironK favorite, at 3 to 7. O'Neil used Pasadena up making pace, and Little Scout caught him tiring at the end and beat him a length. Ben Hodder and Phil Pinch were about equal favorites for the handicap, and they had the race between them. Phil Finch outlined the tw> year-old in the last sixteenth, and won by a neck.

Who died yesterday. urban HandlcaD in 1886. He is Faid to have won 1200,000 on Troubadour, moat of which he took from the winter books at long odds. He usually bet only So-i, no matter how well he liked his horse. He seldom bet on the horses of any one else. Once, when he won only $25 on a race which he had at his mercy, Pierre 1 .orillard took him to task for not betting more heavily. "Mr. l.,oriUar<i, I race horses because 1 love th<»m, and not for money. I make my money in other ways," replied Captain Brown. Captain Brown years ago loaned Bob Tucker, the trainer, $1,000 and pome good advice, and Tucker is said to have made $150,000 out of it in a short lime. Captain Brown leares an estate «rhich Is pro* l ably worth $1»,000,OOG.

FOR WORLD'S BILLLOD CHAMPIONSHIP Hoppe and Vignaux to Meet in Paris for the Title Next Month. '•able advices from Paris to the Brunswick-Balke- Collender Company state that the billiard contest between Maurice Vignaux and Willie Hoppe for th« emblem Riven by this company as a trophy for the world's clfampionship at IS-inch balk line, on* shot in balk. will be played in Paris on January 15. In accordance with the rales governing tho trophy the game will be of 500 points. Hoppe is the chal lenger. The last contest for th» emblem was between Vignaux and George Button, in Paris, last winter, the former winning after a close and exciting con test. Hoppe recently went to Paris. Great interest la shown by players on this Ride in the result of the coming game, and the success of Tluppe. the youngest of the leading professionals, against Vignaux, the oldest of champions in any line of sport, would have a peculiar significance. in billiards. No; only would an American have" the only claim on a world's championship emblem (the 58.2" ilk line trophy having become the personal property of Vlgnaux). but he would be the young est of players to hold a trophy under similar condi tions.

According to one of Inspector Steve O'Briens detective serpnants, there has never been so pay. prolific and profitable a year for pick pockets, second story men, skylight workers and thioves in every branch of the profession as that besrinnlng on January 1 last. This has been their heyday, and they have worked, seemingly, with out let or hindrance by the police. The year has seen one long succession of burglaries which have gone undetected by the police. The crimes have been committed with brazen effrontery, the thieves have gone uncaught and the plunder is lost. One of the rno«t fruitful fields for burglars this year has been the closed houses of those who po away for the summer. Most of these people ape returning to town now, and have been for some time past, snd as they return cry after cry goes up of homes looted and de spoiled by vandal's knife and hammer, for the villains are not satisfied merely to rol> — they must destroy all that they cannot carry away. One of the most recent victims is Robert Chambers, a stockbroker, living at No. 2.T West 09th-st. He had closed and boarded his houp. and instead of reopening it for the winter had gone to live at th-> Hotel Marie Antoinette. Last Tuesday he went home to get a few things, and found that :i prang of skylight workers had preceded him, doing their work very thoroughly. Little thai was of value and could be carried away had hepn overlooked, thougrh, fortunately, Mr. Chambers had placed most of his silver and bric-a-brac In storage. Skylight workers pick out their victims in a, block having a corner apartment house. Through this apartment house they make their way to the roofs, ;<nd so to the house they have selected to rob.' Though this has been going on for months <> ) ihe upper West Side, it yet remains for Cue police to lay hands on the men who do X\v work or put the slightest stop on their doings. In the case of Mr. Chambers, the thieves came over the roof and smashed in the skylight in his house. Then they ti^d a rope to the ventilator in the centre of the skylight and lot themselves into the hoti.se, which they went through thoroughly, breaking open bureaus and ..loppts and prying off moulding to get at locks. They smashed up things generally, left a great litter all through the lions.- and sot away with filiout $400 worth of plunder. Tho police have .lone nothing. They hnve stnn.l around and talked a great deal, but the results are yet to be seen. "Oh, the police," said Mrs. Chambers yesterday, laughing, '•what do they ever do?" The same day Mrs. Ellen D- Pike, of No. 582 sth-ave., was the victim of a clever rascal. But he was not a skylight worker, and her house was not closed for the season. He came In broad day, walked oft with his loot and has been neither seen nor heard of since. He came under the pretence of being sent to wash the windows. Mrs. Pike's furnace man. John, is supposed to include this in his various duties, but last Tuesday he said that he was really unable to climb out on the fourth story ledge because his "haicl was uh humbuggin' him so" and Mrs. Pike told him to get a more abstemious friend to do it for him. John departed on his mission and about 11 o'clock a lemon colored gentleman appeared and paid that he had been sent by John to wash the windows. He received a bucket and some clothes and the run of the house, and stalled for ihe top story, taking a look into the drawing room on his upward way. A couple of mi ids were working there, which probably saved the day for a valuable collection of antique*. The man went on upstairs and put the bucket down in the hall while he went through all the rooms on the two top floors. He was in considerable of a hurry and over looked a good many things worth much more than those which he gathered up. but he man aged to get away with upward of :> thousand dollars' worth, at that. The bucket remained in the hail with the water in its virgin (Croton) purity. Two hours later John and the real window washer turned up together. After a severe < ross examination John has been exonerated, but his friend rests under a cloud, and hi-» movements are an object of suspicion on the port of the police, who appear to take a lan guid interest in the case. E. C. Anderson, of No. 112 West sSth-st., is another recent victim of the skylight gang. Apparently they made his house a sort of head quarters for their depredations in the summer months. Mr. Anderson thinks it was the Hell's Kitchen gang, led by a young hunchback, who peeme to have a curiously similar twist in his moral makeup. In the same way as at Mr Chambers's house, the thieves made their May over the roof to Mr. Anderson's, smashed the glass in the skylight, nnd this time let them selves down three stories by h rope to reach the parlor, where they had to break more glass to get in. From all appearances, they lived in the house and enjoyed themselves for some time, in the course of which they carried off about two thousand dollars' worth of .silverware and cut glass. They must have known about what time to expect Mr. Anderson in from the coun try for there were -isms that they had only been gone a day or two when the family re '"jV Edward Mastin. of No, lit "West 70th-st.. escaped more luckily. He had his family down at his country place, at Ridgewood, N. J.. and was about to return to town when Mrs. Mastm put some cleaners at work. On Sunday night, before the family was to come to town, the sky !ight was smashed, and the thieves came in and cut the panels out of a door at the bottom of the steps to the trapdoor in order to let them selves into the main body of the house, but It so happened that the house was fitted with burglar alarms that had frequently gone off without occasion and ruffled the tempers of various members of tho family, who had been compelled to get up and search for the ghost y intruder but which this time worked equally well as they had on other wintry nights when only the north wind howled and Mr. Mas tin made certain cursory remarks under his breath The result was that the thieves were frightened away, and the only damage done was a couple of panes of glass broken, as was the. morning rest of the special watchman on the beat. .COLEMAN AND BOTJOLAS WIN.
