It has been, indeed the year of prow ess in every line f sport.; On the turf ' diamond, track and football Held, around the saucer and on the matted or roped arena-the list of champions is clearout with no rival to lay claims to the honor In any' department : Never before have so many records gone by the boards, ot have champions been developed of such calibre and superiority -over all com petitors that no rival claimants were on hand ready to assume any share of the award. Jeffries Is still the Unbeatable, Jenkins . the Unthrowh and Walthoui the Undefeated. Lou Dillon and Dan Patch have fairly pulverized the rec ords of the track, and no'one as yet has kept pace with "Arthur Duff and his rec ord of 9 3-5 for the. 100 yards. In baseball and football the claim to premiership is Just as clear as the single championships. .' Boston's great team upheld ; the supremacy of the American league and downed Pittsburg In the final test. Princeton defeated all comers on the gridiron and there is nc Question that the Tiger Is supreme. .

SHOW VaVMJU STKEWOTH. The remarkable performances of Dan1 Patch. Prince Albert, Darlel and Dan R.,i all of whom paced miles last sum mer better , than 2:02, have made. 2:10 speed, look pretty common at that way of going, and it is recognized by horse men that so far as the : slow pacing classes In -the-grand circuit are con cerned it is folly to start a! horse In one of those events unless the- animal can go three times In 2:10 or better. The .'commonness of! 2:10 pacing speed has created the Impression that' there are a good many 2:06 pacers out every year, but when it Is possible to round up all . the : performances it Is . found that there are few such horses. Last summer, counting Dan ;. Patqh, Prince Albert, Daricl, Dan R. and sev eral "Other old timers who were faster than ever before, the total number of pacers that , stepped miles In 2:06 or better is only 10, and If the limit b extended to 2:06, .six others are eligible to the list ' Few followers of the har ness sport would have thought that only. IS pacers went miles as good as 2:06 last season,' but such is the case, showing that when 2:08 la attained by the average pacer, the percentage of Improvement Is small. Trotting Bred Best as Bale. As a rule the best 'pacers are trot ting bred, but the Hal blood gives the turf a great performer nearly every sea son, and for the chance It has had this strain is the . most potent In the pro duction of high class' pacing speed the world has ever seen, Of course the champion, Dan Patch, may accomplish much in the stud, Just as his sire out tired himself, but aside from Dan Patch It. cannot" be said that Joe Patchen has been a wonder worker, although allow ance should be made for the fact that he was campaigned more, or less until a couple of years ago. . But Joe Patchen has-, the undoubted advantage of being a member ; of . tha Wilkes family, which, of all the branches of the . Hambletonlan tribe, seems to have- the greatest , knack " of producing pacing ' speed from lin.es ; of blood that are supposed to be strictly of the trotting . variety. Gambetta Wilkes, . for ..instance, one of the most successful sons of George Wilkes, .so far as the string of standard speed Is concerned, gets a far greater percentage of pacing speed than trotting, and, fully three-fourths ot his 2:16 representatives are pacers. The same is true, to a less degree, yet markedly, of . nearly every son of George Wilkes that has attracted prominence as a sire, while- In the Elec tioneer family no such tendency is no ticed. Electioneer Tamlly Banks High. v It is true that when Senator Stanford was alive he would not have a pacer at Palo Alto, and the descendants of Elec tioneer bred by him -were made to trot whether they wanted to or not. But this is not true of the get of the sons and grandsons of Electioneer that are in the stud all over the country at the present time, and yet It Is apparent that the Electioneers do not sire anything like the percentage of pacers that comes from the Wilkes tribes. In the above list of 2:06 pacers of 1903 Dan Patch, Darlel, Major C Nervolo, Little Squaw, Credette, Frank Yoakum and Laconda trace In the male line direct to George Wilkes, or, In other words, exactly half of the 2:06 pacers of 1903 are members of the Wilkes family. No matter from what angle the subject of speed pro Auction,' at the - trot or pace Is ap proached, the Wilkes family Is ' In the lead so decisively that there la no room for argument Sensation la Auction. IARNES8 HORSE The approaching big winter horse auc tion in Madison Square garden, New Tork City, has furnished a sensation for the breeding world in the announce ment' that Mr. J. Malcolm Forbes of Boston will send to the block his noted young stallion Admiral Dewey, 2:14, at 3 years, a sort of Bingen and Nancy Hanks. It took the expenditure of a lot of money to produce such a stallion, 140.000 having been paid for his dam and $9,000 for his sire, and after so creditable a performance as 2:1414 at I years In a winning race had been added to the other attractions of -Admiral Dewey It was supposed. Of course, that Mr. Forbes would never part with him.' The sending, of such a horse to the auctions would be an event at any time, but following, as It does, the sacrlflne of Peter the Great, 2:074, for 16.000 only a few weeks ago, the incident is significant in ' that it' would seem to Indicate Mr. Forbes' early retirement from the ranks of breeders. Arlon hss been at public service In Kentucky for several years, and with Peter the Great and Admiral Dewey sold there will rev main only Bingen at the home farm. dives Good Beaton for Aotlon. ' But while the decision of Mr. Forbes to sell two such noted stallions at the public's price may make his motives for disposing of the horses' a subject for much speculation, fia such glamour sur rounds the offering of (?oi George 8. Beck of Reading, Pa., in the same sale. The colonel campaigned a select string of four last summer, and the -experience was quite sufficient. In consign ing the horses to the sale, he wrote to the auction firm as follows: ;- ,i "Please find Inclosed four entries to your midwinter sale. Deeming it due yourselves and prospective ; buyers to know why I am willing to dispose of four such cracks at a risk of getting much less for them than they are Worth, I beg to say that my main rea son for disponing of them may be found in the fact that my limited experience in campaigning race horses has demon strated clearly to me that what I don't know about horse racing would fill a book as large as the 62 weekly Issues of the Christian Herald combined. It you have any doubt about this assertion ask any of the boys who were out for the ducats on the Erie circuit last sea son, or ask my wife I tell her every thing. ; Yes, ,1 feel that it would be wise, quite wise, for me to quit the racing business and devote the remainder" of my life to the preparation of a book en titled, 'Hard Luck With Horses." rasoiaatlon la Sales. Horseauctton.i in the larger cities of America and the prices obtained thereat year after year for animals that in nearly every case are of little-account are a standing soilrce of wonder to peo ple who are familiar with the game. There is a fascination about the sale ring that few men who are at all Inter ested In horses can resist, if they have the price of a nag at their banker's, and It is a notorious fact that some men with wealth that runs Into the millions buy horses one year and sell them the next in order to make room for a fresh supply of bright hopes from the 'next .. . : ' . auction. The stories that go with horses sent into the ring make interest ing reading, since every one of them Is designed to fool the prospective buyer,: but once In a while there is a disgusted but truthful ? man like Colonel Beck, who tells the 'exact facts in the case, and horses thus sold always bring' good prices, for the reason that every other man thinks he can, campaign trotters and pacers and make money. There has been a good deal of speed way work In ' Chicago during the last week, and although, none of the various snow courses has been in anything like first-class condition the sport has been fair. Of course the principal interest cen tered In the horses owned by James A. Murphy, who arrived early in the week from New York City with half a dozen pacers, among them Don Derby, 2:04, undisputed champion this season, of the New Tork speedway.. Don Derby was bred In California, and until he joined the Murphy string was campaigned by James Butler, . taking his record last summer at Poughkeepsie over, a , track that- is not considered fast ' After Murphy got the horse he beat every thing he tackled. Including Jhe western pacer, John M that Mr.. Smathers bought during the Lexington meeting for a long price. ; Fred AdHee. with a mark around 2:10, is also In the Murphy lot, and he has done well wherever placed. He was campaigned In 1902 by Roy Miller, ,. i Factor ror so Tears. . f Murphy is one of the most enthusi astic road drivers In the land, and for close to 20 years has been a factor In local trotting and pacing affairs. He owned Star Pointer when that horse beat two minutes, and at one time bred extensively at his Park Ridge farm, hav ing a good son of George Wilkes there, but of late years has spent his sum mers at Saratoga, N. Y.f where there are good roads for pleasure driving. C. . W, Marks, who used to own Joe Patchen, 2:0 114, Js also In town again, after an eastern trip. Wltlle away he bought the pacer Tom Keetie, 2:04, and the trotter Fanforan, 2:11 and is using both . of, them on the speedway. Koene is one of the fastest - pacers In the land, and, If only he can be made to stay on his gait, there is no doubt of his' success In any company, and, so far as the Chicago speedway Is con cerned, there Is nothing here, aside, from Don Derby, able to give him any sort of a race. Mr. Marks reports Fanforan to "be a good speedway mare, and. as she has manners and looks as well as speed; it is strange that the eastern buyers allowed her to get away..

In truth, peed way -acing is at a pretty low ebb thla -winter, and were it not for the Murphy and Marka' strings there would be practically nothing . on . the snow path., worth going across the road to see. It Is a good deal the same way In other cities where there Is a pro nounced interest In the light harness sport, and the reason given is that the owners of good matinee trotters and pacers do not care to bang them around on the snow all winter after1: they have pferf ormed creditably on the dirt- during the summer months. Outside of Chi cago, Cleveland, Detroit and s Boston, there are no large cifies - where the sleighing is good enftugh each year to make a feature of winter racing, and reports from all the places named are to the effect that the best horses are not being .used on xho snow. 1 . . . Trouble Began at Glenvllle. ' When the Ohio legislature meets this winter a campaign will be made for the passage of a pool law that will permit the making . of wagers on horse 'races, provided the same , is done -within the track inclosure where tha -contests take place", and , there only. . " ; , TW movement will have back of it some Of the most powerful political in terests in Ohio, nd is the direct out come of the warfare wageg last sum mer by the mayor, -of .Glenvllle, a suburb of Cleveland, on the trotting meeting at that place. The Glenvllle track is one of the most prominent in the land, Is owned by the best people of Cleveland and the meetings, there have tor the last quarter of a century been a prominent feature, of the grand circuit. The present Ohio law against betting on races is drastio In its pro visions, and by means of it the Glen vllle autocrat was able last summer to make the Cleveland club meeting a dis tinct failure and entail upon its pro moters a loss of about 316,000. . , Speculative Feature necessary. , The horse breeding Interest in Ohio Is a strong one; politically as well as otherwise, and It is , believed ; that the general sentiment, of the state Is in favor of a law whereby betting will be strictly regulated, rather than to allow the present conditions, under which one track Is exempt while another, Is perse cuted by soma fanatical official, to con tinue. One thing Is certain. Trotting meetings minus the speculative feature would necessarily be affairs of minor Importance from every standpoint. No big stakes -could be given,- and it would be impossible to secure a sufficient num ber of entries for the races that were given -to, Insure , first-class contests.

DR1TT THE IiXTTLE BEBTE&XTE ASTD THE PRISE OF CALIFOBJOA ABB SIONED TO BOX ITS SAN T BAN CISCO VEZT MONTH CORBET OUT OUT TWO THINGS. San Francisco. Jan. 7. Jlmrav Brltt. the San Francisco "lightweight, ani Young Corbett, the champion . feather weight boxer of the world, have coma to -an agreement and a match between them has been arranged. The. fight is to take place next month under the auspices ot the Yosemite club of San Francisco, and the men are to weigh in at 6 p. m. at 130 pounds. The match ing, of these two Httle men gives genuine-satisfaction to the" sporting fra- ternity throughout the country. Corbett has taken on flesh so rapidly that it is extremely hard for him to get down to. the featherweight limit and his well-known evasion , to strenuous training, probably hurried his decision to engage with Brltt Ha well knows that he Is going up against hard game, and is therefore taking no chanres at getting the worst of It in the matter of ' weights. The lnslstance on 130 pounds at 6 o'clock redounds to tha little cham pion's favor, for he, can make that weight with the greatest of ease, while his opponent, Britt while being abla to make the weight, will necessarily have to train hard for the purpose. Corbett has been on the water wagon some three months, and some of hit friends - expected- to see htm 'drop his whip after his fight Hanlon, but he sur prised them.
