Inasmuch as a;i the men against wnom tne club would be expected te play are professionals, the game would be billed as an exhibition game Instead 01 a matcn game, as would occur against the Pullman students. How ever, the fact that it would be an exhi bition gamer would not detract one whit front-the interest with which the fana would watch the struggle. Answer From Pullman. McMillan looks for an answer on the guarantee question from the Pullman eleven in a few days. There is a, little Hitch over that new. There is a big deficit In tho Pullman treasury, and Manager Jones Is anxious to recuperate in this quarter as much as possible. V A charge has bwn'msdo that tho men who are looking out for the proposed western trip of the Englewood high school of Chicago are professional pro motors, and in view of this expose the Lincoln high school of Seattle and the Waahlngton high school of Portland ' will insist on bona fide credentials from i he Chicago principal.

The conditions Of the Derby are entirely for colts and fillies. Tears ago geldings were eligi ble. About 10 - years ago Lorlllard's Democrat, an eligible, was regarded as certainty for the-rlch classic, but he didn't win and the gratitude of the English turf fell upon him. For here Derby winners are expected to perpet uate themselves in the stud. There are three choices for, next year's Derby now. 'They are: Lord Roseberrys Neil Gow. The Lembert colt, Major Loder. Harry Payne Whitney's Whiskbroom. Mr.-Whitney will try very hard to win the Derby in' "1910. At -present his Whiskbroom Is third choice, the other two being preferred in first and second order. Major . Loder is well bred and thought to ba England's fcest 9-year-old until beaten by Nell Gow. Turfmen from America will be as well represented In the big racing flx- ures of 1810 in England aa they ara this year. Judging by the liberal nomina tions that hava been made in both tha ooo guineas and the looo mitneas in 1 810.

Two automo bile racers are in the hospital, four more are tHanking their luckv atara that they are alive today, and three au tomobiles are wrecks, as a result of the six hour automobile race at Ascot Park yesterday, which was won by Charlie Soules, in a Stearns. He traveled 283 miles, breaking the former Pacific coast record of 267 miles, made by the Kissel car. Three cars turtled durlns- tho race and each time it looked to the excited spectators that Instant death Would come to th driver and tnechanlo in the overturned car. But only two of the six men were injured. They were McLarty, the driver of the Sunset car, who sustained a broken rib and a fractured collar bone, and Robe, the mechanic of the same car, who was painfully bruised about the head and ahoulders, when a tire blew out and caused the machine to skid,, and then turn completely over. ' The other cars wrecked were the Apperson "Jack Rab bit." driven by Hanshue and a Cadillac, driven by Beaudet The Apperson inrew a tire, smashed a wheel, turned a complete somersault In' the air and landed right side up. Hanshue and his mechanic Ferguson, were thrown clear of the car. Both escaped with only , a sngnt jarring. Two hours later tha Cadillao turned turtle within two feet of the splintered "jock Rabbit" and Driver Beaudet was pinned beneath the car while Grosan. nis mecnanio struck earth 20 feet away.

Tampico Correspondence Mexican Her- aia. , A party of English fishermen had an unusual and most exciting experi ence In the Panuco river recently with a large sting ray or devilfish. It is very rarely that these fish are seen In tha river, for they are supposed to confine themselves to the sea, although they are often encountered near the coast along the south Atlantic and in ma uuir or Mexico. Occasionally a small devilfish Is taken by fishermen near tha coast of Florida, but their ap pearance in tha Panuco river is some thing unheard of before. The party of fishermen in question Consisted of Captain A. Paget, Captain Molyneaux, Sir Charles Cost. Major Ramsden, Captain Robert Duff and Lady Juliet Duff, who were out In small boats In queat of tarpon when three of these monster rays were en countered. One of tha boats being sup plied with a small harpoon threw it Into tha nearest ray. The other boats came to tha assistance and made fast In an effort to keep the first boat which was being fast towed seaward by the monster devilfish, but tha five boata and a launch which had corns up In the meantime were towed down the river with as little effort aa If they bad been mere toys Invented for the playthings of this queer shaped mon ster. After several minutes of the wild est excitement which haa aver been ex perienced by fishermen in the Panuco they succeeded In dragging tha mon ster into comparatively ahallow water and were congratulating themselves on tha probable, capture of tha great fish whan tha monster gave a mighty flop that threatened to engulf all tha amall boats, dashed under tha launch, al most capalxlng It. and succeeded In tearing out tha harpoon and thus es cape. Thia fish Is said to measure at least 11 feet from tip to tip of its wing shaped fins, or flipper, while tb two others from.th glimpse gained war nearly tne tame sue. 1 .
