Of the eight who qualified for the W. K. Fowler Cup at match play on Thanksgiving day only two tried conclusions yesterday over the linkr of the Dyker Meadow Golf Club, and they were B. Clark and Charles Adams. The links were in poor condition, as many parts of the course are still covered with snow, and that part which was free was soft and muddy.

The competitors, however, regardless of the unfit condition of the links. played roost excellent golf, some of the holes being made in as low figures as under more favorable circumstances. The second bole. 1S8 yards, was halved in three on each round, while the third hole, 301 yards, was won in four on the first round and halved in four on the second. Clark won by 3 up and 4 to play.

The outlaw bicycle racers had a hot time in the old metropolis las: night, for there were prooa'hly five thousand pc rs ons sratheivd in Madison Square Garden to sec them compete in aht.ir lira raws in New York's vicinity since Che 'break away from the League of American Who eimcn and its guiding hand. Incidentally the American Cycle Racing Association steed its usual keen tya for setting all of the money in sigai. Indeed, everytaing was lovely, all outward appearances, and if last night's attendance were to settle the mattes the utlaivs would win their fight against the league hands down. Last nigh attendance did not settie the matter, hut it was a highly important step and did probably as much as any one day's developments, 1. 0 far ac the public voice can affect the situation, could possibly do.

The New York pu'oilo is a wonderfully peculiar quantity and may be tnere were many who attended last night out of curiosity to see what kind or a m. nstrosity an outlaw looks like. Or some other consideration that will never attract them again may hav had a good deal to do with the attain whiie it is certain that many an old toi.cwer of the sport, dasgusted with the c.ique that is handling the races, failed to attend, but that there were several thousand, probably live or mure, who ytllol and screeched themselves hearse aver some racing decidedly below the average, certain.

The list of con tests contained a greater variety of athletic events than is generally found at an indoor gathering, but, potato, bicycle, hurdle or sack, the races were handled with uniform speed, and no sooner was one concluded than the clerk of the course and the starter had the competitors in the next marshaled at their marks. Company E's team had another walkover in the contest for the Nesbitt trophy. Out of twenty one events Company" was unplaced only in six, its total score being OS points.

Companies and were tied with 30 points apiece for second honors, while the remaining teams represented in the games fell below 20. Company held the cun nrinr tr last on trophy will remain where it is for another half year. The attendance at the games filled the available space in tVe big hall to overflowing, although at one time it did notappt ar that rue crowd would be as large as at some the games la tne past. Vacant chairs ere seldom se ea later ia the evening, however, and, even in the gailc rics there were people standing. The audience was not a demonstrative one and it required an exceptionally good bit of work to roUise the onlookers that degree of enthusiasm wha; re noise alotie suffices to exprse the feelings.

The performance o.f the athlete.s in a majority of the events was fully up to the Seventh's standard and in some the latter was surpassed. Dick Sheldon, formerly of Yale and now a member of the. New York Athletic Clu'b. completely outclassed his competitor in the shot put. beside beating the record made by QuecKberner at t.he games of April.

Ithaca, N. December 3 Daniel A. Reed, Cornell's left guard, was chosen captain for next year's team hy the members of the '98 team to day. The popularity of Reed and his closest competitor, E. R.

Sweetland, right tackle, caused a warm election. Reed receiv ing 10 votes and Sweetland 9. Reed has had considerable experience. He has played his position at left guard for three years, and will return to the university next year to take post graduate work. He first entered Cornell in '9G and graduated with the '97 law class.

He weighs 192 pounds, is feet 1 inch tali and is 12 years of age. His home is at Silver creek, The sophomore foot ball eleven to day defeated the freshmen team on Percy Field by a score of 15 to 0. The result of the contest decides the class supremacy in favor of the winners of to day's game, it being the third of the series. The sophomores had five 'var sity men playing, and consequently were i much heavier and had a stronger line. Dor ner.

Events. Tie 'interna t'ional match 'between Charley Mitchell aad Tom S'harltey will not take place before March next, and the latter can now complete arrangements to lighKid McCoy in January. In response to Sharkey's acceptance of Mitchell's challenge, and his offer to fight him in January, the latter yes terday cabled to the Police Gazette that he would be unable 'to get himself into proper condition to fight before March, but that he desired the match, and requested that articles of agreement 'be sent to hiai at once, and if the condixiens are satisfactory he will sign them and begin training. vVhen Mitchell issued the challenge he deposited $1,000 in London, and this amount Tom O'Rourke covered on benalf of Sharkey. The latter stipulated that the fight must taka place 'in January, as he desired to go to San Francisco in February to fig'ht Jeffries, but Tom O'Rourke said yesterday that if Mitchell gave him positive assurance that he would meet Sharkey here in Marcn, he would delay hio departure for the Pacific ceast.

O'Rourke saya lie wiil insist upon a side wager of at least $1,000. If Mitchell will agree fro fight here O'Rourke says he will allow him $500 for tra'tning expenses. lttoore Apparently Quits at the Pelican Bouts. of the three bouts Athletic Club last evening at the Pelican ded under very suspicious circumstances, met, "Vf n.r Paul ikin 3g an unusually poor showing.

It was undoubtedly a case of quitting, but detracted nothing from Goff's performance, as the latter undoubtedly would have ended the contest in the next round. off ado an ercellent showing and is a man worth watcaing for middleweight honors. Tut Reilly and Kid Carter met in the opening bout of ten rounds at 112 pounds.

Keilly made the fighting from the start, but was unable to land with any effect on his more youthful opponent, who made a good impression of the crowd, notwithstanding that this was his first appearance before the public. Reilly tried hard to land a knockout, but the kill met his rushes every time with stiff lefts on the face and drew blood from Reilly's nose in the eighth. Reilly worked his right band on the body and finished the stronger and was declared the winner. The second preliminary brought together Dan Duane and Tommy Baker for ten rounds at 12S pounds. Baker was too fancy on his feet and could not stand the gaff.

He possessed a good left and reached Duane's face in good style. Duane forced him to do the leading and countered heavily and jabbed his right to the body when they clinched. Duane swung his right to the jaw in the seventh and sent Baker to the floor, and when he arose sent a.nd tsaker went down for good, The star bout at the Greenwood A. C.

A large crowd is expected to be present at the Lenox Athletic Club next Tuesday night, to see "Mysterious Billy" Smith and Joe Walcott cotutest for twenty rounds. Smith fought Tommy West a hard draw about a month ago, but on the other Jtand West defeated WTalcott, and now the betting men are trying to discover if Smith, who has fought twelve hard battles this year, has gone stale or is as good as he was when fought Charley McKeever, or on the other hand if Walcott's long rest will enable him to dispose of Smith itn the mill on Tuesday. Up to date there has been little betting at even money. AT THE TRAPS.

The open tournament for women, arranged by the Hudson Rifle Cluh, was finished on Friday at the club ranges and the result was a tie for first place between Mrs. Bva. Thlele and Mrs. Louis H. Schortemeier, the latter the wife of the famous wlnjr shot.

Each scored 71 out of a possible 75 and in the shoot off Mrs. Thlele won by the score of 68 to 62. The Reservoir Gun Club had an open shoot at live birds at New Brunswick. N. on Friday, when five events were decided.

The first, at five birds, was divided by Keller, Terry Blodgett and Belloff, each of whom killed i. The second event, same conditions, was won by Hunk, Bissett, Terry and Woodruff with clean scores. The third event Was at seven lilrds and was won by Bunk, Belloff, Keller and Terry, each kllifmr 7. The fourth event was a miss and out affair and was divided by Woodruff and Hellott on the fourth round.

Y'ou know as well as do that as soon as the officers begin to coddle their brains on political matters all active work in their divisions ceases and is not resumed until after the annual election. It means that for three months, at the best recruiting season of the year, the active workers have minds on a subject which is foreign to their work and the organization for t'aat time becomes practically demoralized. This has been shown to be the case for several past years and is still a fact.

His campaign will be conducted by Chief Consul Mears of Ohio, himself one of the shrewdest of (he League workers, and Wallace Sherwood will assist. I'otter's retirement would throw the control of the assembly into the hands of the West, a section which has striven for power uns uccessifully for years. This will be t'he dr opportunity and they will not be slow in grasping it. With this section in control the vice presidencies will probably go to George Locke, chief consul of Illinois, and Herbert W. Foitz of Indiana.

The. treasuryship will be placed iu the. far West and the candidate who I has been named is David J. O'Brien, chief i consul of Nebraska. This office: is usually al ternated between the Bast and West and the coming year it should go to tne West, since I a Xe.w Jersey man now holds it.

This combination would nrobablv dispose 1 of the claims of C. Frank Kireker of i erjey for the presidency and of B. M. Hines of Michigan for the second vice presidency, as both are known to be hostile to the West. The combination, in fact, will divide the of fices among its friends, and the gentlemen named are not included amontr the number.

The Life of Athletes. Gradually the oid time bicycle riders are retiring from the game, leaving it to the younger and less experienced to heep the sport alive. George Banker is probably the idest sprinter in active service to day. He was a "brilliant rider years ago when Zimmerman was as yet unheard of. As a cueoxber of the Pittsburg Athietic Club team, he rode against such men as Rich, Murphy, Graves, Smith.

Bowman and Worden, ail of whom have retired from active participation, many of yeans ago. Zimmerman wats on the track about seven years, which seems to be the average ath Icctic life of a rider. Charlie Murphy wais before the public about the same length of tlcne, while Windle, who was the idol, deposed by Zimmerman, was only before the public about five years. Harry Tyler, one of the cleverest riders this country has ever known, was on track about Six years, Waiter Sanger, who retired last year, tt'tiB one of the oid regime, and perhaps the iast to past; in his checks. He came up after cnmerinan and sc on followed the Jersey man.

Gc orge C. Smith of New York, was one of the fastest men in America for two years, but his active participation in cycle racing was less than live years, although he died game, trying in vain to recoup his lots prestige several years ago. "Biil" Martin and Frank Waller are two of the oldest riders now in this country. Martin was a plucger years ago, some say before the flood, while Waller is not so old in point of service, although he is in age. Albert Shock was one of the oldest, and tho most remarkable of American riders.

He has competed in many races dating as far back as ten years. He only rode two or three races a year, however, which probably accounts for his long service. Charlie Ashinger and Frank Albert who annually como up, rode during the days of Tom Kelt when that silver haired mentor was a devotee of the high wheel.

Whether this is the fault of the Jockey Club, the meeting stewards or the starter, is not so clear.
