f the goal lines.
I The goals are placed in the mid-
} dl' of each goal line, one at cacii
j fud. The goal is C0]n',)0'rd of two
I np'ts’nt posts each four fcer in
iheishl. v.hich are firmly ^ixed in ihe
j ice six feet apart, and .ioined by a
j strong neUing which is hung at an
jctn?:le forming a cage.
This is all the setting needed for
! the game, there being no markings
I s\ich as are found on the gridiron,
j no foiil lines as on the baseball field.
! and no penalty area as in association
I football. It is all simple, a sheet
j of ice with goals at each end, and
[the arena is ready.
Players on skates armed with hock
ey sticks, a vulcanized rubber puck
and the necessary number of ofli-
cials, make the setting complete. No
special restriction is placed on the
skates, except that they must not
be pointed or sharpened in a man
ner likely to be dangerous to other
players, the referee being the judge
of these points.
Hockey sticks resemble the hurl
ing chib used in Ireland’s national
games but are not as heavy. The
.cricks are flat on the sides, shaped
like the old-fashioned shiniiy slick,
bur being much wider on the blade
the length of which is limited to
thirteen inches and the width to
three inches.
The puck, the equivalent of the
hall in most other nratichcs of sport-
is a disk of rubber one inch in
thickness and three inches in diame
ter. Fcr an ordinary match a re
feree, tv:o goal umpires and two
timekeepers are quite sufficient. The
rel'ore^ has practically sole control
of the maich. having charge of the
puck, the calling of "Qffside” plays
and the power to rule off players
I lor violations of the rules.
! The Amateur Hockey League of
thi.^ city '.*'ill begin its campaign on
.January 3, when the sextette of the
champion New York A. C., and the
Hockey Club of New' York gather
on the ice at the St. Nicholas rink;
The disbanding of the Wanderer S.
IC., leaves but four sevens in the
organization and the schedule has
necossarily been shortened.
■j Several of the clubs in the league
profited by the diruption of the Wan
derers and witii their added strength
promise to make trouble for the
s.ronger combinations. In fact, the
strength in the league is more bal
anced than at any time since the
! league v/as formed. No club can be
! looked upon as a -winner, as has
been the case for the past tw'o
years, when the New Y’ork A. C.
aggregation w^ere conceded the cham-
pionshi)) even before the season
opened.
The battle for the title this year
should be the closest ever contested
in the amateur Hockey League. The
Nev.’ York A. C. and Crescent A. C.
means permanent possession of the
coveted prize.

Otic bright summer afternoon in

rntePtalning Cap and his c.ld (’hicugo
outfit. Gore reached first i)ase in the
very flrat Inning. Anson whispered
in Gore’s ear to stop a double play
at all hazards Kelly, the next bat
ter hit sharply to me. I had but to
touch Gore on his way to second
and whip the ball to first in order
to reMre the side. I touched out th«
runner all right, but when I went
to atart .the throw to second I
found myaelf all tangled up with
Oere. Her had grabbed me round the
waist and before I knew what was
coning off had sprung every kind of
grapevine, nelson and hammer lock
in wrestling lore. The toe bold

fr^pling Kelly scooted past first.

naturallj had to declare both run-

that righteous decision created. Cap
let out a warhoop that coul*^ have
been heard above the roar of Niaga
ra. Both teams surrounded the, arbi

ion favored the home team prevented
a massacre. The debate waxed sh

No .V Chiea.^o was never knovm

Anson was iust iiching for a game.
T!ut a I'rce gat»^ didn’t appeal to
Hinfaio ('iiicago had to come
a.'I'os'-- wiiii .$,'>00 before i^ got ac
tion. The next day found tie rivals
in battle array before a jammed
i-'round. Tl.is tinie Goldsmith got to
fir.'U, for (Chicago. Can issued his
sa’ne orders “’stop a double play.”
The bat*er hit lo short and Force,
in making tho tiirow from secona,
threw *he ball so close to (roldsmith
that i' nickr-d his ear. Turning to
-Anson Goldsmith shouted, “Cap, you
can stop the doul)les yourself.”
And C:))i did; right on his next
trip round tiie .J-acks. too. But I
hardly think he wished to demon
strate the stunt exactly as he did.
He was on first wdien the ball was
hit to me. Dov.’n the line came Cap
straight at the bag, waving his arms
as v/as his custom when trying “to
stop a double." I tagged the midw’ay
sack for a force out and winged
with all my hight to cut down the
batter at first. I would have done
it, too, I honestly believe, if it
hadn’t been for Cap. The throw was
so fast that Anson had no time to
get out of the way even had he so
desired. His head wobbled over into
the pathway of the sphere just as it
arrived at his station. The ball didn’t
hit him fair on the cranium—or
there might not have been any more
Cap. It glanced off his skull to the
stands without doing more damage
than “raising an egg.” Anson might
have been scared but he was game,
too. “I say you white-livered boobies,”
he laughed, as he walked back to
the bench, “I stopped that one any
how.”
Anson was the most stubbord man
j'ou could imagine whe he thought
a point of honor Involved. I well re
member a game his gay Chicago lads
played at Troy. The audience was
composed of but one paid admission.
But Cap didn’t care. He needed the
game to cinch the championship. Tlie
grounds were knee, deep in mud and
tho field was so wet that it waa ab-
solutely Impossible to handle the
ball proi.Hrly. Real pitchin.r was oiu
of the question. Goldsmith, who w. t
.slated to tv/irl for Chicago, was par-
Mcr.larly r^trenuous in voicing his ob-
.iccTlons to the game undor such un
favorable conditions. But Anson was
in?isteiit. Finally, when he sir-v there
was no of getting out of working
Goldi? sl^ed his «hoer; and stocivings
and wei’.t on tho mound l)arefooted.
When !;o received ihe l)all Goldsmith,
iuf-tcad of pitching it. began to rub
the leather vigorously on his bare
'et'r. in order to dry it. Cap thought
his jilicher stalling for time. “Pitch
that liall," shouted Anson, ’‘All right,
Can," replied the pitcher, sLill rub
bing tile ball.
“That v.ill cost 3’ou $.50. Now hur
ry up and pitch.” cricd Anson.
“All right, Cap," calmly rejoined
Goldf-'-ith,
"Fifly more for yours," bellov.'cd
Anson.
This amusing dialogue continued
lu'til Goldsmith had been fined $200.
Finally in a rage Anson bellct^’cd:
‘‘Goldi-mith pitch that ball or II!
come over and bust your nose.” Then
there was some trouble. Goldie threv/
down the ball in a puddle and glar
ed at his m.anager. “Cap.” he cried,
shaking his fist at Anson, “you cj>n
fine me all* my salary but you're
not big enough to bust one side of
my nose, see.”
He picked up the ball and the
game went on. So did the fines.
draw” money than the game can
afford-, but sooi^er -or later the two
must get together.
There is no light weigiit living
whose claims to a go w'ith Wolgast
are supeiior io Moran’s, and even
with f’reddie Welsh threatening to
descend upon us in the near future,
it is doubtful if the situation will
be changed to any extent. Freddie
has been a long time away from
the American ring and will have to
show his quality with a few of the
best of the new crop of lightweights
on this side before he can hope to
butt in on the Vv'olgast-Moran out
look.
Bill Lang’s .defeat of Jack Burns
means very little. Burns, wdio d^d
fairly w'ell in his early battles in
and around 5nn Franvisco, lizzlod
out completely when he got fairly
into the heavyw^e.giht sv.'ini.
It may be, how'ever, that Lang's
more recent achievement will give
weight to ther umor that a broken
hand prevented Lang from doing bet
ter in his fight v/ith A1 Kauffman,
The latter has challenged .lack John
son but the challenge has caused
no commotion to speak of Al’s frank
ness in stating that the longer the
meeting is delayed, ihe better he
will fancy his charicesfi, has no very
sportmanlike ring to it.
It is in every way an admission
that Kauffman does not consider
himself a fit opponent for Johnson
at present, and will only be when
the Johnson nghting talents begin
to fade away that a chance of Kauff
man’s acquiring tRe championship
will amount to anything.
As matters stand. Lang -will prob
ably htinger for another crack at
Kauffman and if Al. is wise he will
prepjfre himself and meet Lang half
vvay. Every iittleb it helps and an
other victory over Lang will do its
share toward justifying Kauffman’s
ambition to fight Johnson.
As to a Lang-Kauffman battle
ground, Hugh D, McIntosh, the Aus
tralian promotor, at present operat
ing in England, will no doubt jump
at an opportunity of putting Kauff
man and Lang in the ring in Lon
don. McIntosh is raking the earth
for Queensbeiry a^rtractions at pres
ent and w'culd suiciy beg for a fight
of this character if he thought
Kauffman could be induced to cross
the pond.
We must admit the arrival of the
next Australian mail before we can
attach the proper value to Dave
Smith’s defeat of Billy Papke. It is
know'n that Papke was a sick man
a few w^eeks before the date of the
fight and the fact that Billy lost on
a foul leaves an opening for all sorts
of excuses.
It goes 'w'ithont saying almost, that
Papke will w'ant a return match
with Smith before he returns to
this country and as the Australian
sports are thorough b?lievers in giv
ing a ring man a chance to redeem
himself, it is more than likely that
that he will get it.
In the meantime Hugo Kelly’s as
sertion that he is the bona fide
world’s middleweight champion is a
■vain claim. If Papke turns the
tallies on Smith. Papke will have
the best right to call himself the
middleweight champion.
Of a certainty tliere can be little
question as to the respective merits
of Papke and Kelly, for at their
last meeting Papke knocked Kelly
into a cocked hat with a few
punches.
If there is no further meeting be
tween Papke and Dave Smith and if
it is made io appear that the lat-
ter’s defeat of Papke constituted a
complete victory, it will not be easy
for Hugo Kelly or anyone else to
thrust the Australian aside w^hen the
middleweight champion is bein dis
cussed.

On Racing Al
Jacksonville
(By BERT E. COLLYER.)
Jacksonville, Fla., .Tan. fl.—To John
ny Pangle, he of Mrs. Frank Foster
fame, belongs the credit of developing
the fastest tried yearling colt to date.
The youngster. Master Jim, by Ornus,
out of Hoodoo, ftcnce a full brother to
Master John, in a recent try-out S'tep-
ped two furlongs in 23 2-5, far and
av/ay the best move chronicled by the
work watchers^ for this division. Im
mediately foiloTvinf; this splendid trial,
Pangle Avas approached by a represen
tative Oi Harry Payne Whitney with
a view of purchasing the colt. Seventy-
five hundred dollars was named, but
Fangle stated that Ow'ner Dunlop, had
declined to put a price on the young
ster.
“Mr. DunTop,” said Pangie, “races
for the plear-’.jre of the thing. He loves
nothing betrer than seeing his colors
carried down in front. It was indeed
a severe blow to him Avhen Master
Johnnie died, but in this colt’s brother,
1 believe I have even a better racing
prospect. Unlike iMaster John, this
youn.gster is well-mannered and breaks
from the barriers like a well-seasoned
racer. I think he will beat more than
will trim him,’’
Expert oj)inion iS' that Pangle un
doubtedly has a good prospect. The
colt is not iractious like Master John
w^as at this season of the year, and
wiilch fact ultimately caused him his
life—at Baltimore he reared up and
fell backward, breaking his neck. Bet
ter still. Master Jim showed every indi
cation of being able to carry his speed
over a distance of ground. In looks, th
youngster completely fills the eye, and
is an almost exact prototype of his
daddy.

Old England Is
Proud Over Her
Boxer*s S kill
(BY W. W. NAUGHTON.)
Ban Francisco, Jan. 7.—What with
Owen Moran’s victory over Battling
Nelson; Bill Ling’s defeat of Jack
Burns and Dave Smith’s triumph
over Billy Papke, Old England and
her colonies will begin to pride
themselves on the newly acquired
prestige of their boxers.
It matters little that one of the
vanquished was a champion who had
tried a couple of times too often-
that another was never very much
of a performer and that the third of
the British conquests was a victory
on a foul.
The fact remains that three 1
Americans were defeated by three of
John Bull’s ringmen. This surely af
fords the sports of King George’s
realm a chance to boast that the
country they belong to is once more
asserting itself as a producer of
worthy pugilists.
What effect will the ring happen
ings have upon the fight situation
of the near future? In Owen Moran’s
case thed efeat of aBlttin Nelson
has sent the doughtly little British
er clear to tiie front as a contender
for the world’s lightweight champion
ship. Just at the present Ad Wol-
gast is holding Moran at bay with
demands for more “win, lose or
Held Bullfight
On Madrid Street
Madrid, Jan. 7.—Casualties includ
ing three or four broken arms or logs,
three men seriously and several slight
ly injured, and about a dozen fainting
fits suffered by women accompauied
an improvised bull fi.ght, wi;ich has
taken place in the streets of Seville.
Three j’oung bulls wliile being driven
by herdsmen took flight, and the op-
portimity proving too good tor the
worthy Sevillans to lose a “corrida"
w'as organized ^ the streets. Thero
was immediately a wild rush of men,
women and children to reach a posi
tion of vantage, as the “terres" made
intrepid attempts to capture and sub
due the “novilles.” The street was
the scene of the wildest ccnnsuion
during which time the intere.st in the
proceedings equalled that at an ordi
nary arena, the scene of the corrida
w'as transferred to an open square,
the approaches of wiiich were blocked
by cares. The amateur toredores, at
the end of an exhausting strug.ijle,
fraught with great • danger w'ere suc
cessful in overcoming the bulls, but
not before a picador had been se
riously injured in the stomach.
I
Inswe Against \
An Appointment
London, Jan. 7.—At “Lloyds” the
insurance mart, where any kind of
“risk” can be insured against, per
haps the most curious policy taken
out in recent years is one against the
appointment of David Lloyd George
as Prime Minister. The present chan
cellor and the exchequer is reg.ard-
ed by the Unionists as the most sin
ister enemy of their cause, and from
their view-point, his becoming premier
would be a first-class political disas-'
ter. The premieum demanded by the
underwriter for this policy was 25
per cent, and it is only good for one
year.
There Is quite a brisk market at
at Lloyds in insurance against ru
other general election taking place
during 1911, the rate being 35 j)er
cent. Another risk being covered by
the underwriters is that of the abaii-
