THE WARDROBE, SIXTH AND ROBERT STREETS In the World of Sports ENGLISHMEN BUNE MAHER FOR DEFEAT Ride on Pretty Polfy Is Crit icised by Backers of Fleet Mare LONDON, Nov. 30. —Danny Maher, the popular American jockey, has come in for a share of adverse criticism over his rid ing of Pretty Polly, the champion filly, in the Prix dv Conseil Municipal at Paris, tvhen she was beaten by Presto, a French colt. The English experts are of the opin ion that Maher waited too long on the French horse and expected to smash him with a few strides when they turned into the home stretch. This the great mare failed to do. and Presto won by two and a half lengths. In all the races which Pretty Polly won previously she was taken to the front early and cut out such a pace that the others were unable to give her serious trouble at the finish. It was Pretty Polly's first defeat, if it might be called so, but she was giving the Frenchman fourteen pounds and after a stormy trip across the channel had only a breather or two on foreign tnrf. How ever, it is understood that the mare will not be seen in silk again this season, and she goes into winter quarters with a real ly phenomenal record, her aggregate since she began running being $157,460, the re- BUlt of fourteen consecutive victories. By her winnings the mare has placed Galiinule at the head of winning ~;res. a position which he is not likely to lose this season. How good the filly really is may be gathered from her work in the Nassau stakes at Goodwood. She won in a com mon canter with 134 pounds on her back and covered the mile and a half in 2 min utes 41 1-5 seconds. This is the same dis tance as the Derby, and the record is 2 minutes 40 4-5 seconds, by Vo'odyovski, carrying 126 pounds. There is only the difference of two-fifths of a second, and there "can be little doubt that if pressed Pretty Polly could have reduced her time by a couple of seconds. Pretty Polly is undoubtedly thf> great est mare that ever trod the English turf, greater than Virago, Achievement or Si'fptre. She is owned by Major Loder and was bred at the Curragh of Kildare. She is 15.3 hands, chestnut, and is out of Admiration, by Galiinule. • Admiration was bought for 510 guineas as a yearling by Maj. Loder on June 29, 1593, at the sale of the late Robert Peck at Newmar ket. Galiinule, the sire, who is now on every man's tongue ii England, was foaled in 1884, is by Is< : ■ ny, out of Moor Hen. by Hermit, out o> i mare by Skirmisher, out of Vertuinna. and an own sister to Rysh worth, who ran two or three great races with Belladrum. Therefore his pedigree is all that need be desired. His nrst appear- j ance was in the Excelsior Breeders' Foal stakes at Leicester the first week in April, IS^6. in which he ran unplaced. The stake fell to Mr. Abingdons Binder, ridden by the late Fred Archer. Galiinule did not appear again until the Kempton park first summer meeting, about the middle of July, when he was made first favorite for the Queen Elizabeth stakes, and beat three others of no particular reputa tion. About a week later GalHnule secured the National Breeders' Produce stakes at Fandown park, and in this event he beat Mart ley and five others by four lengths. A short time after that, in the Sandown Nirrsery plate, he beat Binder, who wns many lengths in front of him when he made his debut. He wound up his two year-old season by running unplaced in the Chesterfield Nursery handicap at Der by. Galiinule thus won three out of eight races as a two-year-old, . and was kept in training for three seasons more, but unfortunately never scored again. As a three-year-old ho had an easy time, his first appearance being in the Leices tershire Spring" handicap, in which h» ■tarted at 21 to 1 and ran unplaced; nor did he fare better in the Jubilee stake, won by rare old Bendigo. His only other race that eeason was the Great York stake,-in which he lost to Patfze'r>fehlff by a "neck, the pair being right away from the field. Subsequently- to-that race Gflllinule be came the property of Mr. Abington, and ran seven times as a four-yearrold with out any success. He was unplaced in the Jubi4ee, won by Minting, and also in the Workingham stakes, though his defeat wes by-no-means surprising, us he was ashed to give twenty-six pounds to Anna mite, who two years before had given him weight and a good beating. Abington himself rode Gallinule in the Overden plate at Brighton, but 138 pounds was too much burden, ifnd he did not finish in the money. After such a series of re verses it seemed strange, -but Galiinule started absolutely first favorite for the Lincolnshire handicap of 1889, and, as usual, he failed to finish In front. The Visitors' handicap, at Newmarket, was bis last appearance, after which he was sent to the stud. It will be seen, there fore, that Galiinule had little in his fa vor except his blue blood, but he is the embodiment of the moderate animal high ly bred, always surer to make a success ful stallion than the chance bred brilliant performer. DUTIES OF CATCHERS Backstops Are Frequently Un- appreciated Gen'uses PITSBURG, Pa., Nov. 30.—Few of the fans stop to think of the necessity of a team having good catchers before any successful attempt can be made to win a pennant. The ability of a man to cover sim, ly the throws from the pitcher and to catch foul flies in his territory Is only a ps t of the work expected from these modern buffers for the stopping of the swiftest curves. The catcher is the general of the whole nine, and must direct the play, because his position, is such that he sees more clearly than any otherf player the happen ings of the pame. It has come to. be ac cepted as an axiom that a club has small chance to win a pennant without the serv ices of two high class catchers. Many in stances can be shown where a club has finished at the top with only a fair pitch ing department or with a weak spot in the field or on bases. It will always be found, however, that such clubs had catchers of the first rank. or at least one star backstop and a suita ble substitute. The catcher Is "the man behind the gun" in scientific baseball, but, like the trainer of a great race horse, he seldom receives the credit that is due him. He is constantly doing Work tor which the unthinking spectator gives .him little or no credit, but which is of the first importance to the team. . The first-class catcher judges from the batsman's action what lie fe likely to do and communicates his Knowledge to the pitcher and to the rest of the players by means of signals. He watches the. base runners in order to keep the twirter in formed of what is going on. and signals when to throw to catch a man napping. He backs up the ffcst or third baseman on long throws from the field and in general is the right man !n the right place at all times. Fltzsimons Named Captain William Fitzsiroons was yesterday elect ed captain of the Central high school foot ball team for the season of 1905.

YOONG CORBETT IS A MANAGER HIMSELF DENVER, Col.. Nov. 30.—"Young Cor bett" is a manager. The Denver boy has seen so much of the wsrys and wiles of the personal j-ep resentative that he thinks he can be of value to a good man himself. The first entry in his table of athletes is Larry Leroy, the phenomenal jumper, just returned from England, where he has been on the same bill with Hack en - schmidt. the wrestler. Leroy has met all the world's best jumpers and has yet to be defeated. "Young Corbett" will back him for any amount against ariy trick jumper. Leroy is a marvel in his specialty. He Jumps in and out of barrel" tied up in a sack, and turns somersaults while doing it. He Jumps from a height into a basket of eggs and out again without cracking a shell. Most wonderful of all, he jumps upon his own wife from a height of ten feet and rdbounds without hitting her harder than a- feather's fall. He opens hunting/case watches in the course of a jump. This trick he performs anywhere under almost any conditions. Placing a watch, tightly closed, upon the floor, bar, or table, he jumps, descends lightly upon the watch, rises, opening the case with his feet, and lands yards away. He can do about as much with his feet as a magician c&n with his hands. Leroy is the Kellar of feet. f WHIST In the fourth-game of: the forty-second ; tourney -at : the St. Paul Whist • club last, night j high j. scores were made "by ' Erwin and I Johnson, and .*- Fetter and h Sanders.'; :A pair match : of- twelve - games L will: begin Wednesday night; ■ Dec. . 6. :; Last night's scores:?;--: >r-«-^ ;:'-*":'7'; ■-''■- ~."-'^-*.*"t¥= v.-North and South—v :"- .-._ - -.

Deering, captain and for ward of the university basketball team for two years, has been elected coach of the" basketball teams at the state univer sity to succeed Dr. Cooke, who has coach ed the team to victory for the last five years, but declined to take charge again. His election is regarded as a great victory for those members of the student body who are in favor of a system of graduate for all athletic teams, and they are pre paring to make a strong fight for a grad uate coach of the baseball team next spring, as there are several alumni fwho have made good among professionals. Deering, with Hugh Leach, captain of last year's team as his assistant, will have charge of both the girls' and boys' teams and expects to turn out a couple of winners, as there is lots of good material available. Six full teams turned out for the girls' practice yesterday and four for the boys, so there will be no lack of scrubs to practice on. Arrangements for the grand swing through the Eastern states are progressing rapidly, and the only thing that is worrying the manage ment is which colleges to cut out, as more are asking for games than can be accom modated, and instead of soliciting games, as in former years, the Gophers are tak ing their pick from the best the East has to offer. Season Was Profitable Manager Reed, of the Minnesota foot ball team, is at work on the books for the past season. The season was profit able, as there is about $12,000 on the right side of the ledger. Teatry Dies In Cuba HAVANA. Nov. 30.—Teatry, the stal lion given to the Cuban government by the late William C.

MDGGSV HAS UNIQUE BASEBALL METHODS (Manager of Giants Restores Life to Team in Strange Manner NEW YORK, Nov. 30.—Politick and gossip will disrupt a baseball team more quickly than anything else. „ When the Giants were in Putsburg last season McGraw noticed that there was bad feeling in the team. The men stood in little knots in the hotel corridor glow ering at other players; they rode to the field in a bus wlthont exchanging a word; the preliminary practice, usually so bril liant, was dull and lifeless. This worried McGraw, and he could not account for it until a week la:'r, in Chicago, -when, learning the reason, he proceeded to rein ject that esprit de corps by a measure so drastic that it horrified bail patrons all over the country, who, how.ver, thought it merely an incident of tho brutality of ball players. Instead of that, it was the well planned scheme of, a crafty general. Fred Clarke, captain and manager of the Pirates, three-time champions, owns a farm in Kansas; has been associated with professional baseball about ttn years, and is an active, powerful and shrewd strate gist. Frank Bowrrman, catcher for the Giants, is saitl to be the highest priced backstop in America. During the winter he lives in his lumber camp in the wilds of Michigan, fishing, hunting, chopping down trees, and otherwise fortifying an already rugged strength by open air ac tivity. On account of a split thumb, Bowerman occupied a seat in the grand stand the first day at Pittsburg, Jack "Warner tak ing hfs place behind the bat to catch Mathewson. At the hotel that night Fred Clarke was quoted as saying that Bow erman observed, while looking on: "If I was catching there, that run would never have come in." This, of course, was tantamount to Bowerman's asserting hi 3 superiority over Warner, a boast that ball players are rarely guilty of. "Did you make that crack?" McGraw asked a week later, when the team had-: taken sides-half with Bowerman and half with Warner. •'Mack," protested the big catcher, "that's the meanest He that ever was told, and I told Jack Warner so; but he don't believe it." "All right," said McGraw. -That's all that I wanted to know. Now. just keep quiet and do the best you can till we get home." . !"_ "Frank, have you got a good right swing?" The Michigan lumberman smiled grimly, and clinched a fist knotted and as hard as Hercules' war club. "Weil, it's up to you, then,' advised McGraw, "to put life into the team. Don't lose any time."
