Y HAVING the Columbia soccer B team forfeit its game to them, Haverford College wins the jnter- collegiate championship in that sport

for the third year in succession. Har- vard is sécond this year, with one game Jost, and Pennsylvania is third, with one game lost and one drawn. Haver- ford won all their games with other colleges, with the exception of the drawn gamé with Pennsylvania. Haverford thoroughly deserves the championship, being acknowledged to be the best. college soccer team in the United States The Haverford team is a well-rounded one. There are. two stars on Haverford’s team that shine out above the rest, and they are Captain Massmaesser, at center half-back, and Baker, at center forward. Captain Rass- maessler has been a tower of strength on the defense. Baker has shot most of the goals that Haverford has scored this year. He is an English boy and prepared for college at the Bootham School, England. Strode and Bushnell, who played the outside positions, were very fast and gure in taking the ball down the fie‘d. Cc.’ Brown, at fullback, put up a very strong defense game, his long kicks being an important factor. ener ee Austrinn Swimmers Coming. News comes to a member of the New York A. C. that a movement has been started in Austria to collect sufficient funds to enable the Swimming Associa- tion to send a representative team to the Jamestown Exposition. Only three men have been mentioned as candidates, | but they are a host in themselves. Zoltan De ‘Halmay, the sprinter, Amer- {cans will remember well as the man who took both the 50 and 10-yard awims at the Olympic games of 191 in St. Louls. The middle and long-distance swimmers are Otto Sheff, who won the quarter-mile event at the Olympic games last spring, and Halmay’s club- mate, Ludwig -Bruckner. Both these men have been doing remarkable work this fall, and their last achievement in the 550-yard championship of Austria etamps them a redoubtable pair of com- petitors. Sheff won the race in 7:06 1-5, beating Bruckner by only one second, and he passed the 450-yard mark in 5:45, which means that he can go the quarter under 5:37. The American record is 5:50, It is presumed, of course, that Daniels, Marquard Schwarz or Handy will be in training for the events at the ex- considerable position, and there is . lower the curiosity as to their ability to ‘present American record, or successfully “to compete against the foreign cracks. aCarolina horses.

Daniels has never found it necessary to put forth his best efforts in competition, and there is a well defined impression that when the necessity arises he will be equal to the occasion at any distance up to his limit. Gray Horses Disappearing. There used to be a good deal of talk about the simultaneous appearance of the red-headed girl and the _ white horse, but I have noted the simulta- neous disappearance of the gray race horse and the black jockey. One is about as scarce as the other these days. Yet up to 3% years ago there were more negro riders of note than white ones, and two gray racers to one fn these times. At the end of the war gray horses were very plentiful around Bt. Louis, but since that time breeders have gradually quit using gray stallions or mares at the stud until now there are 60 bays, brown, blacks or chestnuts to one gray on the racetrack. The great negro riders are not in evidence any more, either. There are no Isaac Mur- phys, Hamiltons, Claytons, Stovals, Lewises, Perkinses, Overtons or Barneses nowadays. “Harking back one can bring up mem- Ories of Many a grand American racer that had a gray coat.

custom of a boy's following in his father’s footsteps in a professional way. Some of his eanliest recollec- tions have to do with the Centennial Exposition of 1876. at which his fath- er was a leading exhibitor, and his house was the headquarters of Eng- lish mining men who came to this country during that year. Mr. Dovey Sr. died in 187s. just as George Was completing his education. The young man, accompanied by his brothers, Will and John, followed Horace Greeley’s advice and went West, 4s- suming considerable mining interests at Central City, Ky., where he pros- pered for a number of years. The Dovey boys were always great base- ball enthusiasts and excellent play- ers themselves and never missed an opportunity to do a few stunts on the sreen diamond. In fact, George. who | was a pitcher and shortstop, could | easily have become a professional | player if his extensive mining inter- | ests had not held his attention. It| was he who eave that world-re- nowned native of Freiburg, Barney Dreyfuss, his first boost into the base- ball arena. This great event was pulled off at Paducah, Ky., in 1884, when the Dovey brothers helped Bar- ney to Organize the Paducah team, which beat all comers for several seasons, George pitched the first game played by this team, and afterward played shortstop regularly. while his brother was the second baseman.
