New Yorkers Think Their Club VIII Beat
the Bostons Ont.
ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE DIsPATCH.l
NEW YORK, September S-There is Joy in
this town, and the croakers who have been
croaking for zen days past have got into their
cages and thrown the key out of the window.
As it looks now they will not come out again
this fall, for the New Yorks' chances, from an
unbiased standpoint, are as good, if not shade
ing the fact that the Bean Eaters have been put
ting up better field game and hitting the ball
little harder than the Giants, they are not
doing SO now. The Giants are putting up as
ended the season last fall. The beginning Of
their fine work was IN the Boston series, and
they have not let down peg since the Bostons
left here. To verify this ask any of the Pitts
burg players. They played four grmes against
the Giants this week, and played winning ball
at that. but they could not make enough hits
to pull out a victory.
Hanlon has been sick for the greater part of
the time while here, but when he left for Bos.
ton he felt somewhat better. Dunlap played
in the last game in which his club took part in
this city, and really improved the strength of
the team. All things considered. the Smoky
is made up mostly of pitchers and catchers.
The strength of the New York team is in its
pitchers, both Keefe and Welch are in fine
condition. the former has been doing better
work lately than at any time this season.
Crane is also in good condition. while ODay
surprised the Pittsburgs in their last game
here by shutting them out with six hits, only
one of which helped to prevent a whitewash.
If he can Continue to do this the New Yorks
are sure of the flag.
Just where the New Yorks are the strongest
the Bostons are the weakest. The Bean Eaters
have four pitchers, the same as the New Yorks,
but Madden and Daily are useless. while Rad
bourne cannot be depended upon. Therefore
their pitchers are reduced to one, and although
Radbourne once won the championship alone,
Clarkson cannot, for the latter is already show
ing signs of weakening. ]. II. NJ.

the Vicinity of New York.
THE YOUNG GIANT OF THE WEST,
Christener Of the Elegantly Equipped Nor

INCREASING POPULARITY OF RACING

CORRESPONDENCE OF THE DIsPATCH.l
NEW YORK, September 6.-When that
young giant of the West, Ell Rio Rey, with
the shoulder blades of S-year-old and the
stride of an easy conqueror, proclaimed him
self invincible, he really christened the new
track in New York. The Morris Brothers
have spent perhaps $500 900 on it. In some
respects it is unique. Regal in its equip
ments, it opens its gates for free admission
to the field as readily as for the opulent
patron of the turf who pays handsomely for
a seat on the grand stand. The significance
Of this novelty is understood only when it
is remembered that, while some of the tracks
in the vicinity of New York appeal more
particularly to the wealthy, others seem
to have been established exclusively for the
pleasure and possible profit Of those in more
moderate circumstances. There are invet-
crate lovers of racing who would no more
dream of visiting one of half dozen
courses that could be mentioned than they
would of finding an evenings entertain
ment at dime museum in preference to the
Madison Square Theater. At the new track,
to degree visible nowhere else. extremes
meet The Morris Brothers have made an
innovation. Every feature of the new en-
terprise, from programmes which cost moth
ing to stakes fabulous in the aggregate,
bears evidence of lavish touch. Their

The Louisville Club to be Gone Over With n
Fine Comb.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsrArcH.I
LOUISVILLE, KY, September S-The work
of wedding out the old members of the Louis
vile club has already begun. That only four
or five of the old men will be found playing
with the team next season is certain. The
matter has already been canvassed by the
board of directors, and a determination has
been arrived at. Pete Browning and Ewing
have been laid off for the remainder OF
the season. Ewing was taken up
to Cincinnati and dropped there, although
no publication has been made of the fact.
on Vice President Botto, President Parsons
still being absent, and asked him if it was true.
"Well, l guess il lsn said Mr.. Botto. with
meaning smile II have heard the same report
that you have, and think it is true. What
was the use of keeping him any longer, when
he hasn't pitched a winning game for months.
He starts in well at the beginning Of the sea-
son. but he can't hold out. In my opinion
there are four or five others that ought to go
the same way. If they can't play good ball, lay
them off without pay until they do. and get rid
of them for good if they don't improve"
This is the determination of abe present man
agemenr, The men to be retained, it is stated
on the authority of one of the stockholders, are
Raymond, Weaver, Stratton, Vaughan, Cook,
and perhaps Ehret. Hecker has let down as
fielder but makes costly errors; Wolf is too fat
and is an uncertain player, and Shannon is
shirker. Manager Chapman has made arrange
ments to buy eight new men and Ryan, McDer-
mott and Gilligan are three OF these. Little
confidence is felt in them here. They may play
well in a minor league, but it is the belief of
local stockholders that they are not fast enough
for the association.

honors next summer. d. d. Withers.
Pierre Lorillurd, A. J. Cassatt and the
George Lorillard estate are opening plethoric
pocketbooks, and while the old track is being
used for training purposes, new one close
at hand will hold its own with all comers.
New and old will account for the expendi-
ture of about $500, 900.
The Coney Island Jockey Club, with its
ideal course and unsurpassed location. and
backed by such men as William 4. Wander
bilt, John G. Hecksher and the Alexandra
Brothers, has $3.50, 900 at stake close to the
seashore. The club has declared
COLOSSAL DIVIDENDS,
and is credited with having accumulated
reserve fund as large as its capital, so that if
racing were declared illegal tomorrow the
stockholders would receive back the
amount invested, to saw nothing of the divi-
dends and the proceeds of the sale OF the
property.
Perhaps the best investment is that made
by the owners of the Brooklyn Jockey Club
track. They include the Dwyer Brothers
and such powerful politicians as James Shev-
lin, Alderman McCarty and John Delmar,
all of Brooklyn. They purchased the old
Parkville trotting course. and comparatively
nominal expenditure prepared it for present
purposes. 1t is worth not less than $780,
900, and pays interest on an infinitely
heavier figure.
When Jerome Park is added to the list it
becomes easily evident that not less than
$4,000. 600 are invested in race tracks within
easy reaching distance OF the metropolis. No
effort has been made to be exact about the
figures, the object being to get simply at
general idea of what it costs to furnish
facilities for the display of speed.
A rough estimate OF the number of men
who enter race horses on Eastern tracks
places it at so. It is not easy to strike
satisfactory average of the numerical
strength of each stable in the matter Of
horses, but 10 would probably be not far
out of the way. Taking $1,000 as the aver
age worth of each horse, the aggregate value
of the flyers becomes plain problem in
arithmetic. A million and half of dol
lars is the result of the calculation. It
would be scarcely interesting to 60 into the
details necessary to show from how many
different sources the pocket of the owner Of
a stable is drained after he has purchased
his animals, but they would swell the three

TRI.sTATE LEAGUE.
HAmM's CONFIDENCE.
He Thinks Searle and Gaudaur Will be the
Winners.

MCKEEsPoRT, September S.-A man could
hardly be more confident of winning a race
than Gaudaur is, and in this he is backed up
by his able trainer, Al Hamm, and, strange to
sgy, both of the contestants of next Fridays
race are confident O'Conner will defeat Searle
tomorrow, and Hamm is of the opinion that it
will be Searle the winner.
Gaudaur rowed in his new boat to-day twice
He says it is the best boat he ever had, and he
feels when using it as though he had rowed in
it for year. Teemer is afraid he will have to
use his old boat He telegraphed Ruddock to-
night to learn if the boat would be shipped
Tuesday. He hopes he will not be disappointed,
although he says he can row as well in the old

as he would like to see the thing decided be-
tween he and Gaudaur, as he is not so sure that
Jake is a better oarsman than Teemer.
THE winner of this race will be the chal-
lenger of the victor of tomorrow, and the loser
will be in the SOUP" so says an oarsman,
therefore it can be expected that Fridays con-
test will be one for supremacy and blood.
Hamm said calmly and quietly in answer to
queries this evening that he thought that
Gaudaur will win the race, as he is in the best
of condition, and is of the opinion that Teemer
is not "Wait until the day of the race and
will show them what condition l am in" says
Teemer.

smiled and remarked something which sounded

above it. The prodigal outlays made by
men who own such stables as those to which
Lorillard, Belmont, Hearst, Haggin, Win
ter and others devote their leisure time,
would undoubtedly yield an aggregate
bringing the whole sum up into the region
of the millions.
Not many Western horses are run on
Eastern tracks, and the reasons are mani
fest. 1t pays to bring on only the cream.
The expense of transporting and finding
stabling accommodations here is justified
only where the horse has proved its ability
to run in the best of company. Mr.. Winter
made no mistake when he changed the base
of Ell Rio Rey's operations, but his balance
would soon be on the debit side of the ledger
if he turned to the West the tails of those
of his horses credited only with common
place performances. The royal blood of
The River King will circulate to a fine
financial tune in the East. 1t may be lit
tie premature to come to conclusions con-
cerning him, but the general impression is
that nothing that is possible for 2-year-old
is out of his reach.
1t is gratuitous, in the face of what has
already been stated, to say that the popular
ity of racing goes on increasing in an accel-
Grating ratio. Two or three other tracks
are talked of, and when they materialize
they are certain to be followed by talk of
two or three more. None of them complain
of poverty of attendance. At most of them
the bookmakers flourish, and the betting
reaches proportions which make observers
wonder where the money comes from. The
drift of overwhelming testimony is that
sooner or later the man who bets will have
nothing to bet with; but that doesn't lessen
the betting. The old Spanish proverb,
"When the pitcher goes to the we'll, woe
unto the pitcher; when the we'll goes to the
pitcher, woe unto the pitcher; whatever be-
falls. woe unto the pitcher has been modi-
fed so that it concludes, "whatever befalls,
woe unto the BETTER" but he fourishes his
money in the bookmaker's face with more
pertinacity than ever.

Great Financial Success.
CORRESPONDENCE OF THE DIsPATCH.1
BOSTON, September The nerves of the
baseball cranks are almost shattered, and all
on account of the exciting race between Bos-
ton and New York for the coveted League pen
nant whats the scorer cries the business
man, the bootblack and newsboy. They are all
on the same lay-waiting anxiously for the
score.
The Bostons have been playing before the
largest crowds on record, but think the
directors would prefer to make little less if
they could only land the pennant IF we
can't win it this year then we will never get
there" This is the cry heard on all sides, and
people will sneer with disgust if you ask them
if second place is not good enough. The Bos-
tons have had hard luck: they should
have downed the Phillies in the last contest in
PHILADELPHIA, but poor judgment on Rad
run ahead with two men out, when Thompson
smashed one of RadbUurne's slow balls, which
sent two runners across the pan and won the
game. Thompson is the king pin batter of the
Philadelphia club, and for that reason Rad
bourne should have sent him to first on balls.
This would bring weaker man to the bat, and
chances were in Boston's favor. Clarkson or
Keefe would never allow Thompson to hit the
ball, but l suppose the once great Radbourne
