GDSTAVE TOCCHA R! •.
TO BOOM 'CHASING
Earlier Date Suggested for
Racing of Thrce-Y car-Olds.
Proposed un ndmenta to the rules of the
National Steeptecbase and Hunt Associa
tion are published in the current issue of
"The Racing Calendar."' and while many
of the changes are of minor importance
they are of a kind to insure a more
thorough and oomprebensfve management
of a sport which is sure to grow in favor
with the broadening out of the field to en
courage the amateur hunt club meetings.
The moot important amendment which
will be acted on at the next regular meet
ing has to do with the time for racing
three-year-old Jumpers. "Heretofore Octo
.ber 1 has been the earliest date for the
racing of young 'chasers, but Rule 20 pro
poses a month earlier and had been
amended to read:
No horse shall run in a rteeplechase until
September l of the year in which he is a
three-year-old, after which date- he shall
be q mil' fled to start In any race not exceed
ing two miles.
Borne followers of the sport were strongly
in favor of making the date August 1.
wMte other? stood out for the old time.
The middle ground was accepted as a com
promise and is likely to work out well, It
means that steeplechases for three-year-"
olds can he held at the Call meetings at
Shcepshead Bay and Gravesend.
Of the other proposed changes the most
important are: Amend Rule 13, Section 11.
to read:
The Judge or judges shall a' the close of
eaefa day's racing sign h report nf the re
■ait of each race For transmission bj the
clerk ni the rourfe to the office of the sec
retary of the National Steeplechase and
Hunt Association
To amend Rule 72. Section XIV, to read:
Tf by reason of an objection to a h"rf°
any money Is awarded to another, the
rightful winner ran recover the money for
such rar<» ■■• place From those wno wrong
fully received it. and in •aw if default can
j.-q--f. it in the forfeit list.
It is said that four of the local '-^r\ nz
associations which will conduct meetlna
at Aqueduct, Jamaica. Empire City and
Brighton Beacli have pooled interests for
the coming season, win or los* 5 . This no
doubt accounts for the willingness of the

Scots Give Opponents No Quarter in Fourteenths
InterrvaLtiorval Battle of the Brooms
The fourteenth international curling
match for the John Patterson medal be
tween the Scots and Americans took place
yesterday on Van Cortlandt Ivike and re
sulted in a hollow victory for the Scots.
Five" rinks a side made up the bonspiel,
and when the work of each had been tal
lied it was found that the "brae laddies"
from the heathery hills of Caledonia had
won by 63 shots. The grand totals were:
Scots. 109; Americans, 46. It was the worst
defeat the Americans had suffered since the
inception of the contest, in 1577. Owing to
the fixture being always a late one each
season, rendering the weather uncertain as
to frost conditions, only fourteen contests
have taken place In the thirty-three years.
Out of this number the Scots have been vic
torious eight times and the Americans six.
Forrest Ifacree was head skip for ; the
Scot? and George Grieve had a. similar
job tor the Yankees. As the. rules govern
ing the contest ha.v« It that the head skip
on the winning side shall hold .the medal
till played for again, so Macree will be the
ctiftAdian of the medal for another year, at
least. Independent of this Patterson prize,
four special gold medals were up for the
rink having the highest majority of shots
ov^r the opr«osing rink, and this went to
rink No. 6, thn players having U shots
of a majority. The total score was 35 to 1,
and this was said to be a record as a ma
jority, as welt as a high score.
The men to get the medals were W.
Mitchell skip: D. McHaskell. J. Stuling and
T Cuthbertson. The brothers Archibald
made a rink in themselves, and for a while
they were in the lead for the medals; and.

! of an absolutely first clas3 cat.-her. an 1
j neither Schlei nor Meyers quite fills the bill.
Schlei is a good player, but by iio neans a
great one. and could be used to advantage:
probably should McGraw get Kllng in a
\ trade that would give the Gianto another
! good pitcher. That is the way somo of the
I strate^iEts have worked it out, unyway.
The Tankees, with Kleinow as the main
stay behind tiie bat. have felt Ow need of
another good catcher for severa.l reasons.
Kloinow is a good man. but. like KoMH, he
I is not a great one. and neither Walter Blair
' nor Sweeney can be relied upon to develop
I Into a phenomenon. Therefore it is felr
| that George Stalling? has done well to get
i T^ou Criger, so long the peerless catches of
the Boston team. Criger is a 1 i^teran of
the veterans, and with Ms presence ths
Yankees have probably solved the problem
that still confronts the Giants
Stalling? has been criticised in :o'ne quar
ters for letting Joe Lake go to St. Loui."
in the deal that brought Criger aero, but
there are other pitchers of merit under con
tract to the Yankees. Stalling:-* expects
Walter Manning to have the best season of
his career, and he is also looking for results
flrom some of the youngsters who made a
good showing last season, when they were
more or less inexperienced. He puts a lot
of faith in Jack Warhop, despite his queer
delivery, and expects big Jack Quinn to win
a great many games.
The Yankees have always been weak in
the matter of Wt handed pitchers, but Pete
Wilson made a good impression last year,
and Jim Vaughn, after terrorizing th* Amer
ican Association with the Loui3viile team
last year, and helping to win *he pennant,
is expected to be one of the sensations of
the season. Unlike many left hanuers, the
big fellow is a horse for work, an<l it seem.-i
almost Impossible to tire him. He has
gained a lot of experience since Griffith had
him here, and Is likely to make fjond. All
In all. Manning. Warhop, Qulnn anu
Vaughn are likely to b*» the big four of the
Yankee pitching staff this year 1 , l-'rill and
Wiison am others of whom ;'tallinga thinks
highly.
The infield of the Yankees will probably
be composed of Chase, first base; Vaughn,
second base; Knight, shortstop, and Gard
ner, third bas«>. with Engle. Cree and Hemp
hill in the outfield. That is a pretty for
midable combination, as It stan Is. but it
may be changed around considerably, of
course, when the team appears.
Washington will make a determined
fight for the nrxt annual regatta of the
National Association of Amateur Oarsmen,
tin* biggest aquatic ovent of its kind held
in this country. This was decided at a
m^e-tlne: "f the Potomac Boat Club In
Washington on Thursday. •
The pla^o of holding the regatta will be
made known at a meeting of the executive,
committee of the. association, which will be
held ai the New York Athletic Club. March
\">. As 'his regatta is to America what the
Henley is to England, ft attract? large
crowd? from all section? of the ITnited
States and Canada, inasmuch as It is a con
test. In which the winners in other regattas
meet to decide the championships.
The regatta will be held at a date to b©
dtclded on later, but it will positively take
place between July 20 and August 10.
The last regatta was held at Detroit, and
it is estimated that ino,o<v> persons lined
the shores each day 1o witness the pick
of American and Canadian oarsmen in
competition. There is some talk of offering
Inducements to the famoup Belgian eight,
three times winner at Henley, to come to
this country for the regatta.
Tianti. th^ Italian distance runner, con
queror of Dorando, will make his first ap
pearance In this country at Washington
Park, Brooklyn, on Saturday, in the Mara
thon race postponed on Washington's
Birthday on account of rain. Zanti ar
rived here last week, and if looks count
for anything he will be hard to beat, aa
he is built on the lines of a runner.
Ernie Hjertberg has a new •wonder," also
a Swede, named Lure Johannsen. who will
try to jump into the limelight on Tuesday
evening in a Marathon race to be held In
the 69th Regiment armory. If he can de
feat Hans Holmer. who has a victory over
St. Yves to his. credit, and Jim Crowley,
no difficulty will be experienced in getting
races on bis own term?.
Ad Wolgast. who defeated Battling Nel
son on Tuesday for the lightweight crown,
is in line to make a small fortune. He has
been deluged with offers to go on the stage,
and in all probability will be a drawing
card. Wolgast says he will fight Freddie
Welsh, the English champion, but names
$20,000 as his share of the purse, win. lose
or draw, so that the promoters will fight
shy Now that Wolgast is in the driver's
seat, it is not surprising that he wants to
make the most of his opportunities. Nel
son, in clamoring for another meeting with
his conqueror, t,ays he will wager JI.tXK) to
$r,.00<) that he can stop Wolgast in twenty
rounds, and Ji.,000 to JIO.OOO that the latter
cannot stop him. The Dane Is shrewd, nnd,
even in defeat J* looking for a "shade."
The next regular meeting of the Inter
city Baseball Association will be held at
Arcanum Hall, No. 407 Bridge street.
Brooklyn, to-morrow evening at 8 o'clock.
At this meeting election of officers for tha
ensuing year will take place, and a full at
tendance is requested

Cornell University's hockey team de-.
feated Columbia last night by a score of
7 goals to 1. The ma£ch was one of th»
tailenders in the intercollegiate champion
ship series on the ice" of the Bt Nicholas
Rink, but its outcome, still left Columbia,
at the foot of the colleiU-ite column, nor did.
it improve the stardinr of Cornell.
Altogether, soon after the match began
the plan of offensive or defensive hockey
so far as Columbia was concerned wa*
thrown t.» the winds. On the Cornell side
there were frequent spasms of concerted
team play. in all of which Magner and
Matchn»er loomed large. But the scram
bling. Irregular work of the Columbia.*
skaters made it practically impossible for
Cornell to display the game she was
capable of. Nevertheless. Cornell worked
right through to the end, and victory, de-
Bpite flagrant tripping and rough tactics in
the second half, by which several of the
Morningside Heißhts students suffered
penalties.
From the opening? face-off between Mag
ncr and Cassidy ii was evident that Co
lumbla was destineo*.to experience another
Waterloo. Magner, .Matchneer and Jones,
as the line of advance for the seven from
Ithaca, soon had the .puck circling around
the Columbia cage. .Before that narrow
netting Captain Mui*pliy worked like a
hero. He was a busy raero, too. The Cor
nell line kept up a fusiflade of shots that
landed with a thud upon Captain Murphy
as he interposed his body.
After nearly seven minutes' work Cornell
cleverly executed a fianki attack, Match
neer serving the rubber up* to Magner. who
shot it into the cage for the first goal
from the Hide. Another six minutes <>f
fast, skating around the. Columbia goal
and Criswell sent the puck .home from the
side of the- ice for Cornell's secotnd tally.
Taking desperate chances Columbia exe
cuted a rush following the n«xt fact-off.
Trimble carrying the puck down before the
Cornell cage. He made an ineffectual
shot but as the puck came beck: to him
he passed it to Harding, with the result
that the, latter whipped It inside for the
only goal that the team from Marnlngside
Heights scored for the match.
Then the roughing began and it. increased
to the end of the contest. Harding was
the first to be penalized for tripping,
but Matchener got even for his untimely
fall by picking . the puck out from a
scrimmage and making the third goal for
Cornell. Almost immediately thereafter
both Matehneer and Magner were sent to
the sides for violations, and thie half ended
with the score three goals for Cornell and
one for Columbia.
Slashing stick work, tripping and a lot
of fantastic wrestling bouts enlivened the
second half from the outset. Jones went
down on the ice as he received a crack on
the head, and as a consequence Trimble
was ruled off for the limit penalty of the
night, five minutes. At on* time Trimble,
Cassidy and Harding were all sitting at
the side of the ice under penalty.
It was following one of these deliveries
from the jail of penalty that th« enthusi
asm of those released resulted In a raid
on the Cornell goal. By sheer force the
Columbia team carried the puck there.
And then the spectators were treated to
the sight of the entire Columbia MVM
trying to crawl and push into Cornell's
cage. It was a football rush. The whistle
of the referee checked it, and as the play
er* disentangled themselves the rubber
disk was found just outside the) limit. Cor
nell averted the scoring and finished out
the match in easy if somewhat s. •rambling'
fashion.

football eleven of the Belmont Cricket ciub.
of this city, romped away from the eleven
of the Crescent Athletic Club, of Brook
lyn, on the Haverford grounds this after
noon, and won out by the final score of 5
goals to 2. The visitors, short of tiie ser
vices of one player in the forward line,
showed at first to splendid advantage, but
were overpowered once they tired of check

At half time the scors was 2 goals to l in
favor of the Quakers, who had tallied
through shots by Orton and G. Bottomley.
A. E. Clegg had scored for the Crescents
