WON IN STRAKHTS.
Fayorites We're Losers the First Day
at Homewood Park.
OPENING OF THE SPRING MEETING.
The TrOtters Drew Very Good Crowd of
Admirers Yesterday.
RACING EVENTS AT MANY OTHER POINTS

Straight heats settled the trotting events

ties now wish they hadn't. Notwithstand-
ing the threatening weather and poor card
| offered, the attendance was larger than at
any opening day of spring meeting held at
the park for years. At first it looked as
though the crowd would be exceedingly
slim, but the last train carried several hun
| dred people to the scene of sport. Had the
| sun been out in the morning, instead of wait
| ing until the racing hour was past, there is
no doubt but that larger crowd would have
been out to see the horses.
1t was given out that Legal Test, a bay
stallion representative of the Prospect Hill
stock farm, was to be winner, and hes was
almost an equal favorite with Jim Graham
at the outset, but he never got closer to the
lead than fourth place.
In the first race five horses were entered,
but only three started. Noble A was said to
have gone mile in 2:29, but he didn't seem
able to hold his own WELL After consider
able holding back, they were given a fair
start, and Jimmy Immediately took the
lead.
Past the first quarter it was Jimmy C,
Minet and Noble A. just before the half was
reached, the little mare gradually went by
Jimmy c, and for the last half mile it was q
procession. In the other heats the brace be-
came procession from the start. Minet
took the lead from the first, and simply went
around with the others following.
The only good finish was in the last heat
OF tne z:32 trot in which Jim Graham and
Jonnny Il did battle and the latter won by a
head. In the opening heat Graham got
iead as far as the quarter; but at the bridge
johnny b logged around him and then went
nome without a struggle, with Graham
second. After that Johnny B took the lead
from the start and held it to the finish. In
the last heat, however, he had q struggle.
Apparently with ease he kept his place at
the head of the procession until the stretch
was reached, when the favorite made one
supreme effort to redeem the confidence of
his friends. At the distance pole he was at
his adversary's heels and gained from that
on inch by inch, but he was unable to beat
1t out and Johnny won amid the shouts of
his admirers. The summaries follow:

Harry Staley to Pitch for the Beaneaters-
Trouble with Jimmy Calvin.

Harry Staley to Pitch for the Beaneaters-
Trouble With Jimmy Calvin.
And Harry Staley is to go with the Boston
team. That was settled yesterday. The ne
gotiations between him and the Brooklyns
fell through, at least they were never like
materializing. because Harry's figures were
too high. The Boston management think
well of Staley, and virtually closed the bar
gain with him yesterday to join their team.
He gets substantial increase on his salary
paid by the local club. His figures here were
ceive s. 600 from Boston for the balance of
the season. He will likely pitch against the
local team tomorrow.
But if all reports are true there is another
another pitcher. This time It is Calvin He
was not at practice last Friday or Saturday,
and only short time Monday. An official
of the club stated yesterday that Old Sport
is not doing the square thing; but Jimmy's
side of the case could not be heard yester-
day. At any rate, it was his turn to pitch
yesterday and he was not on deck.
There are various rumors as to the cause
of his trouble, and the rumors intimate that
his case is similar to that of Staley's. The
directors of the club have determined to
have the team under control at all hazards,
and it may be that more will be heard of
Galvin's case. 1t will be a great pity if cir
cumstances compel his release. and it is to
be hoped that matters between him and the
club will be fixed up to-day.
In to-days game King and Clarkson will
be the pitchers, and they ought to be great
Manager Hanlon last evening stated that
everything was certainly all right between
himself and Calvin. The manager said that
Jimmy had worked so hard already that it
was only fair to give him little rest while
the younger men were in good form. Ham
Ion wants it plainly understood that there is
no trouble between the club and Calvin.

Burns death,
The latter heard the call of time and was trying
TO get out of his chair, when Tracy rushed at him
and caught him full on the temple with terrible
rfght-handed swing. Burns dropped like a log and
was unconscious for a long time. About midnight
he braced up sufficiently to walk outside the build

the affair he said:
"Since have learned what case Mr.. Magee
referred to in his letter accusing me of aid

very little about the case except that Bor-
