Horses from all parts of the world will be gathered at the Panama-Pacific In- ternational Exposition, and realizing that the truest test of horse flesh is that of racing; the directors of the. big show have virtually completed plans for the construction of a race course inside the Exposition grounds. Built primarily for contests of speed and-endurance among runners, trotters and pacers, it is the inten- tion of Daniel 0. Lively, director of the department of live stock, to make the track not merely serviceable for spectacular racing exhibitions, but to use ft 3 an integral part in the ed- ucation of the horse breeder of, the Pacific coast. The plan for the track itself was mapped out aftgr many conferences between the live stock department directors and prominent men that have the improvement .of horses at heart. It was decided that the mere showing of the various classes of horses at the exposition, even in the most attractive form, would not suf fice. A race track was imperative. There will be two big mixed meet- ings, the first in the spring shorily after the opening of the exposition, and the second in the fall: epgeerendenas reteceteeete PARI-MUTUELS FOR CALGARY Calgary, Dec. 20. The racing, gnittee of the Calgary Exhibiticill to- day decided against bookmaking. In the future only pari-mutuels and overnight auction pools will be per- mitted on Calgary race tracks. Prince Albert, North Battleford, Humboldt and Saskatoon last night secretly decided to organize a north- ern division of the Saskatchewan Amateur Hockey League. Ih Practically Al the High Figures Go to Has-Beens, Chicago, Dec. 21 Former Major Jeague baseball players stand out, prominently among the leading pitch- ers and fielders of American Associa- tion, according to the official aver- ages for the season of.1912 issued to- day by Thomms M. Chivington, presi- dent of the organization. Two former. Cleveland pitchers, Kfause and Falkenberg, of Toledo, head the pitehing list. Krause's name appears first with thirteen vic- tories and four defeats, giving him an average of .760. It was his re- markable showing with Toledo whieh caused him to be returned to Cleve- land in mid-season. His second en- trance to the major league was marff d by 0 string of defeats, how- ever, Although Palkenberg is named second on the official list, he was the real league leader with twenty- five victories and eight defeats, a percentage of .758. Falkenberg was with Washington before he went to Cleveland. Thie was Cy s frst year in the minors since he left the American league, Packard, a Columbus pitcher, suf fered the same number of defeats as Falkenberg but won one less so he finished third with a mark of .760. Rieger, of St, Paul, leads the pitehers in fielding, having a clean record in twenty-five games. He ac- cepted fifty-one chances. Rube Waddell s name foots the list. He fielded .816. Among the first basemen, Jones of Milwaukee, the old American league player, took first honors, making on- ly twenty-six errors 150 games and establishing a percentage of 984, but he participated in only twenty-two games. Otto Williams, who has been in the association for ma.-v years, topped the second basemen with a mark of .970 for 145 games. Rockenfield, of Kansas City, who will be seen in the Western league next year, made a percentage of .979, but he was in only twenty-eight games. Edaie-Lennox, who started the sea son: with the Chicago Nationals, went to Louisville and finished in Kansas City, fielded .955 at third base .in eighty-six games. Westerzil, of Indianapolis, set a mark of .968 in nineteen games. At shortstop McKechnie, of . Paul, fielded .946 in forty-one games arid was listed first. Beaumiller, of Louisville, ranks fourth officially, in/163 games he made a mark of 933. Corriden, whom Kansas City sold to Detroit and who recently was sold to Cincinnati in the Tinker deal for 8,000, fielded only .904. Johns, of Colimbus, accepted fifty- e. edances in the outfield without an error and obtained first place in jis Hist. Burns, of Toledo, however, accepted 387 chances and set a mark of .979, so he probably should be re- garded as the leading outfielder. Fielding honors in the catching de- partment belong to Owens, who us- ed to pitch in the American league, but who worked behind the bat last season in Minneapolis.

After that Murphy com- meneed to'tire from Ketehell s ter- rific kidney punches and in the ninth round was so far gone that he pnt up his hand and said he had enough. Murphy s showing against the Chieago lad was a big surprise. It was the first bout ever staged in Wadena. ENGLISH FOOTBALL London, Dee. 21.
