It- NEW YORK, Deo. 28. Immediately
Sj after New Year's, James T'ilkington,
:f prosident of t lie National Association of
V Amateur Oarsmen uud one of the delc-
gjl gates appointed to pick prospective
t rowing fruit for the Olympic champion-
f.f ' Bhips abroad, will cast about in search
i of eligible men, particularly in the line
ff of scullers. While- it is a foregone con-
I.! elusion that Bennett of Springfield, who
last 3:ear won iho championship, will
ifj be ono of those seloctcd to go to Eng-
! land, thero is more or less speculation
j' ns to other sculler?. Durando Millor of
I , the New Yorlc Athletic club seems to
i be much favored as a suitable nspirant
A ' for .foreign championships, and while
i thero arc many who bolievo him to bo
R a shado or so "behind Frank Greer, the
Boston former champion, as to speed at
least, the friends of Miller believe that
I . the Travora island man will bo at his
Bbest next summer and that his showing
K abroad, providing h was taken on (ho
team, would be worthy of emulation.
N At all events, tho idea of adding Mil-
I-i ler'snamo to the list of possible rcp-
i resontatives is receiving a great deal
J pf favor.
I; In every Eastern college that makes
even tho smallest bid for athletic
I honors, active preparations are under
way not onl' for the coming indoor
I season, but for the Olympic try outs
, nest June. Barred by their respective
, faculties from competing in the 1906
games at Athens, tho track and field
men of universities and other institu
tions of learning in all sections of the
country will leave nothing to chance,
' now that they "have the opportunity
i that the date "for tho holding of the
big meet gives them, and will take ad-
. vantage of everything that will tend
i to earn them places on the 190S team.
Favor College Men.
I The chances are nil in favor of eol-
f lege men making up a majority of the
American contingent. Those athletes
Lave been showing the best form right
$ along in most of the events that will
make up ,thc Olympic programme.
' Penns3-lvanfa, unless it takes the bit in
its teeth and carries out its threat to
go to England regardless of the A. A.
U., should be particularly well repre
sented. Reports have been spread that
because, under the rules governing the
meet, all members of the team must go
no as representing any individual club
or university, but merely as part of
the national squad, tho Quakers would
puss up tho Olympiad and enter tbo
different English championship meets.
It seems that Trainer Murphy prom-
Iised his charges a Visit to the other
side if they Avon the intercollcgiato
; championships last year. The Pcnnsyl-
( vanians imagined that they could enter
- 1 the Otympic games as such. At any
I "from Mouth to Mouth"

learned that all individuality would bo

that rather than compete under any
colors other than those of tho Univcr-sit-
of Pennsylvania thry would not
'play nt all. Tho stor3 however, scorns
foolish on tho faco of it. and the Penn
sylvania authorities will hardly go to
such extremes, no matter how th3' feel
over the matter.
Ponnsy Is Strong.
"With a squad of over soventj' mou to
pick from, PonnsN'lvania lookH to bo
about the strongest in the. ICast. Tay
lor, Ilaskins. Cartmell, Bonsnck and
.Tones, not to mention the two Whit
hams. Paul, tho Murcorvillc miler, and
Hunter, who' made a big reputation for
himself as a two-miler whilo running
for tho Central high school of Philadel
phia, are in nctivc training and are
right up to their very best form. Cart
mell and Hawkins gave a sample- of
what might bo expected from them
when thc3 defeated Siotz and Shoppard,
respectivclv, at. Philadelphia the othor
week. There are also several vorj'
promising new mon for whom Murphy
predicts great futures, particularly
Ilartranft. a hurdler.
But evon though Murp!i3 hns a team
in charge with which he fully expects
to again win tho intcrcollegiat.es, the
other collegcs' also loom up big. Ynlc
has brighter prospects than in -ears.
There are some very shifty 3'ouncstor
for tho sprints, arid tho middle and
long-distance events will be well looked
after. W. R. Dray, the holder of the
world's record nt the polo vault, is do
ing close to 11 feet regularly in prac
tice, aud .1'. C. Piatt is good tor 2.T feet
at an3 time in tho broad jump. Eli
Parsons, tho great half-milcr. will no
longer represent Yale, but thero aro
several cood ones left for that.
The Columbia team, while somewhat
weak in tho sprints, is also bolter than
usual. George Haj'iics. tho miler, has
all his old speed. He is counted upon
to win this event for the blue and
white. Tho Morningside team is also
well off in two-milcrs, both Hall and
Sanders bcinu good for O'.oO wheu in
condition. The field events will also
be well enred for, but the freshmen
will probably have to furnish most of
the sprinters.
Retains Point Winners.
Man 3 of Harvard 's best point win
ners aro still in college. In the middle
distances last 3'car's freshmen have the
call, the older men having graduated,
but thore is somo good material . on .
hand to be dcvelopod. Tho sprints are
in good hands and so arc the hurdles.
There arc also a number of good men
eligible for tho ono and two miles. With
A G. Grant and Ivorsborg among tho
i missing, the pole vault and the hammer
j throw arc the onl- field events that aro
causing an3 worrv.
Tho Cambridgo athletes have started
training indoors, and just as soon as
tho weather permits will get outside.
When that time comes the coaches aro
confident that the3' will be. able to
round out a 9quad that will again tako
the measure of Yale, make a creditable
showing in the intorcollocriatc. and add
n couple of point-winners to tho Obm
pic team.
With the possibility of Palph Rose,
Matt McGrath. T. C. Moffett, Dan Kelly
and Walter Dra3 addod to tho team,
thero is assurance of great strength.
Three of these men made new world's
records la6t year, while each of them
is credited with the host performances
of the year in their events. Rose
broke all the shot-putting records from
the "eight to the twcnt3'-eight-pound
weights, and established himself iu a
position that no shot -putter has occu
pied since the days of Georgo Gray.
Draj made a new world's record for
the pole vault. There are also several
new men making phenomenally good J
time iu the long distances, where Amer
ica was weak at Athens. There is evi
j dently no dearth of material for the
Olympic team, and there is expected to
b no scarcity of money to restrict it,
so that it may safoly be predicted that
the Olympic team of 190.S will outclass
any orlior athletic team ever gotten to-gc-thcr
in America.

RADTKB IS BOUNCED

Tribune Special Sporting Service.
NEW YORK, Dec. 28. Jockey Herman t
Radtke has taken on so much weight
since arriving in California thathe has
decided to go to Russia. In the spring for
a year's campaign. Radtke cannot get
under 110 pounds now as a result of high
living, which ha3 cut his coreer as a
Jockey In this country short. Radtke has
been his own worst encny. He camo
East two years sigo with brilliant pros
pects, but his Incorrigible behavior got
him Into a peck of trouble. He was fre
quently suspended by the starter'itnd was
anally ruled off for a suspicious ride on
the horse Tommy Waddell. Through tho
Influence of Paul J. Ralney, who had
purchased tils contract for Sfi.OOO, Radtke
was Anally reinstated, but he fell into the
old ways and was finally released. Tho
boy wan picked up by John E. Madden
I and F. R. Hitchcock, but still he pre
ferred the bright lights of Broadway and
Coney Island, so that he was at last
dropped like a hot potato. Instead of
earning perhaps $30,0u0 a year Radtke Is
now practically penniless, with only a
few friends left to help him. He Is rid
ing now and then at Arcadia, but shows
very little of his old form.

for this race closo on February 1, and
each country entorlng can be represented
by threo boats. If thorn are more en
tries for any ono country, eliminating
trials must he hold to select the three
representatives. It Is very probable that
eliminating trials will bo held here -to
select the defenders of the trophy. Tho
boats must not exceed forty feet over all
length, and thero is iio limit to the
power of tho motor. The races are hold
without time allowanco.
Just where the races will be held has
not yet been decided. It has been sug
gested that the traffic on the Hudson
river, which Is the regular course of the
Motor Boat club, is so large that it would
not bo fair to havo such an Important
event as an Internationa raco decided
over that course, and that some other
course, perhaps on tho Sound, be se
lected. i . .

Manager Griffith of the High

Sway.
Tribune Speclai Sporting Sen-Ice.
NEW YORK, Dec. 28. In selling the
rolea.se of Catcher Ira Thomas to the
Detroit club, Manager Griffith of the
New York Americans indicates his con
fidence iu Kleinow. Blair and Rickey
to take good care of the work behind
the bat ne:it season. Thomas played
good ball whilo a member of tho local
team, but Griffith came to tho conclu
sion last season that the big backstop
was not fast enough. The fact that
young Blair, who was secured from the
Tri-Stalc league', showed up romarkabh'
well, further convinced the Now York
manager that he could get along in fu
ture without Thomas's services. Rickey
who was received from St. Louis in ex
change for Joe Ycnger last winter, had
a lame arm a greater part of the sea
son, but he has since recovered com
pletely and will be used regularly be
hind tho bat in 190S. Kleinow, ono of
the best catchers in tho profession
when he buckles down to the job in
dead earnest, hns promised that ho will
show a big improvement in future. As
long as Jimm,y Williams remained a
member of tho New York Americans
Kleinow, who was his steady compan
ion, did not come up to tho mark. But ,
with Williams tradod to St. Louis, it
is bcliovcd that Kleinow will bo free
from influences thnt kept him' from do
ing his best in d;i3s gone b3'.
Griffith, it is thought, has succeedod
in weeding out much of tho material
which proved an obstacle to the New
York team's success last year. Ho has
acted on his own responsibility, for tho
owner of the club has not interfered
with tho various deals in anv way. That
means that it is up to Griffith to give
local fans winning ball at American
League park next season or shoulder !
tho blame for another failure When
President Farrell of the New York
Americans returned from tho American '.
league meeting at Chicago, he said
thero was no friction and that he was
well satisfied with the proceedings.
While Mr. Farroll doclinod to discuss
the mnttor, it is uudorstood that be
cause of Manager Joo Cantillion's open
hostility to President Johnson, tho
Washington club was dropped from tire
league's board of directors. President
Johnson, b3' tho way, will probably
transfer his headquarters' to this citv

STRICT RULES GOVERN
LIPTON'S CHALLENGE CUP
TrJbuno Special Sporting Servlco.
NEW YORK, Dec. 28. If Sir Thomaa
Upton expected that his $3000 interna
tional challongo cup, presented to tho
Brooklyn Yacht club, would bo offered for
contest under clastic conditions, ho will
bo imdly disappointed when ho receives a
copy of tho deed of gift adopted by tho
organization. As tho conditions utand
they hedge tbo now trophy oven rnoro
definitely than the conditions attached
to the Amorlca's cup, and It is not con
sidered likely that thero wil bo any par
ticular rush on the part of foreign yachtu
mon to challongo for tho now cup.
A radical eoctlon of the club's mem
bership was willing to offer the Upton
trophy practically without conditions, but
tho Idea wn overruled. Tho doed of gift,
howovor, will permit races by yachts
smaller than thoso nocessarj' for a con
test for tho bluo ribbon trophy, the mini
mum being placed at thlrty-Ilvo feet if
a sloop and forty feet If a schooner. Six
months must olapKe between tho accept
ance of a challengo and the nrst raco
of a series for the trophy, which vir
tually eliminates any chanco of a con
test next year.
A unhiuo feature of tho doed of gift
provides that at any tlmo within threo
nionthB after tho acceptance of a. chal
longo a third country may onter a yacht
for tho series by conforming with the
other conditions as to rig and length ntlp
ulatod for tho dofendlng yacht.

Tribune Special Sporting Servlco.
NEW HAVEN, Dec. 2S. The annual
Southern trip of the Yale university baso
ball team during tho Easter holidays will
not be made this year, and It may be
that It hns beon dropped for all time.
Tho authorities governing baseball horo
havo decided that tho practice furnished

physically. On several occasions pitchers
havo ruined their arms, and last year

This year all the practice of the team
