SENSATIONAL SPORT.
That's What the Racing at Morris
Park Track Was Yesterday.
GREAT HOPES WAS A SURPRISE.
A Splendid Opening Day Of the Lexington
Trotting Meeting.
GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OF THE DAY

MORRIS PARK RACE TRACK, Oct o.
The atmosphere here this afternoon was
decidedly chilly, rendering heavy wraps
and top coats a necessary adjunct for
comfort The sport was sensational, nota-
bly, the victory of Great Hopes in the third
race, which he won from Canvass. Pierre
| Lorillard's Yemen was first choice at 1 to 2,
| but he was beaten at the end of half q
mile.
Walcott and Campbell added Spartan to
the starters for the Albany stakes. With
Taral up he was made to favorite. W.
M. Barrick's Emin Bey, 10 to 1, held Spar
tan safe and beat him handily in the last
furlong. The Westerners backed Rival
from 10 to 1 to 4 to 1 to win the first race.
Taral rode the mare to victory and Rivals
hackers were jubilant Another Western
owned horse, Michael, was cut loose for the
second race, and this time the local plungers
got aboard and sent Michael to the post 6
to favorite. He won in gallop, with
Mr. Sass, % to I, in second place. With
Banquet Withdrawn from the fifth race,
Strathmeath, to 5, galloped in ahead of
Equity, second choice Fourteen maiden
2-year-old fillies started in the last race.

Those Cash Prizes.

NEW YORK, October 5-Whether or not the
League of American Wheelmen will throw
out all wheeimen who take part in the con-
templated races for cash that may be inaug-
urated next season, it is certain that pen.
atty or no penalty, many crack riders will
have go ct the '1ong green's" This cannot
be taken altogether as a misfortune to the
L. A. W. nor the rider. In the case of the
latter. in many instances, ir saves him the
trouble of converting his captured trophies
into cold cash: oftentimes at much de.
preciated valuation. The good effect upon
the league and uoon the amateur standing
ofits members will be in the open declaration
OF many riders of their true standing in the
sport rs professionals; thereby leaving the
really amateur ranks in a state OF purity
that no legislation by the Executive Com
mittee under the present circumstances
could possibly accomplish. This is an.
| nounced after a chat with the best of riders
in this section.

Bobby Cargo VIII Be Tried and Glass.

An experiment will be tried in to-day's
local ball games in the way of putting
"Bobby" Cargo in to play at short range
instead of Shugart The latter has been
suspended for the balance of the season
without pay, and this resolve on the part OF
the management was great surprise to
Frank. He was looking for LAY of, u
but not "without pay"
Manager Buckenburger last evening
stated that there had heen so many requests
made to try Cargo and that so many people
had spoken so well of him that the manage
ment had decided to give him a trial He
was in the East End Gyms team and then
in the local State League team and then
went out West. In teams of minor import
ance he has played well.
Glasscock did not arrive in the city yester-
day and Secretary Munson said last evening
that he did not think Glasscock will be here.
Won der Abe will not be here, and accord
ing to Secretary Munson Der Poss' is not
inclined to part with Glasscock this season.
Won der Abe is saving the players salary
and that is probably all he wants to accom-
plish. Mr.. Munson denies emphatically
that he ever made the statements credited
to him about Glasscock, and that the trouble
between that player and Won der Abe en-
tirely concerns themselves.
Rain, snow and cold weather prevented

Terry has never pitched in local game on
day Of that kind he will be one OF the
pitchers to-day and Baldwin will be the
other. Breitenstein and Hawley will be
the pitchers for the visitors and two good
contests may be expected. The first game
will start at 1:30 and the second at $780,
Ali ladies will be admitted free to the
grounds and the grand stand.

WON'T CHALLENGE CoRBETT.
Peter jackson Will Wait Until James j.
Is Quite Ready.

NEW YoRK, Oct. 5.-Parson Davies is with
Joe Choynski at the Navesink Highlands.
He intends to remain with the Californian
until the latter finishes training for the con-
test of October 81. In the opinion of the
astute pugilistic manager the contest Will be
one of the most interesting that has ever
taken place at least in this vicinity.
Godfrey is very clever fellow" said the
Parson, "and he can hit pretty hard. Still
he will find in Joe a man who is certainly
clever and whose hitting powers are wonder
full and if the Coney Island Athletic Club
isn't crowded to the doors 1 shall be very
much mistaken. 1 expect Peter Jackson
over the 26:h OF this month"
Does jackson intend to challenge Cor
bette" was asked.
jackson never challenges anybody" was
Davies reply. "While he will ask for a
match with the present champion 1 do not
think that he will try to force Corbett
through the newspa pers. Peter is one of the
fairest men 1 ever knew in my life. He be-
lieves in giving everybody q chance, and,
while Corbett really owes him return
match, don't think that Peter will chase
after it if he finds that the champion does
not care to meet him in the ring"

Nothing Sensational Done.


Nothing Sensational Done.
LEXINGTON Oct. 6-The Kentucky Trot-
ting Horse Breeders Association opened the
trotting meeting to-day IN bright sunshine,
but in wintery wind. The attendance,
considering the cool, almost cold weather,
was respectable. There were 81 entries in
three trots, of which 81 started. The last
two heats of the last race were trotted after
the sun had set and the moon risen. In the
betting shed. which was we'll patronized.
there was one auction pool stand and four
bookmakers. Among celebrated drivers
present are Budd Doble and George Starr.
Doble will have Nancy Hanks here on
Friday, but she will only be shown before
the grand stand.
A large number of the bankers of the
State, who are in convention here, attended
the races to-day. There were no incidents
out OF the ordinary, except that George
Sanders driving Ollie Wilkes in the fourth
heat of the first race, collided sulkies with
Belle Archer, who was breaking. Sanders
was thrown from his sulky, but not injured.
Ollie Wilkes ran second time clear around
the course before she was caught Pneu-
matte tire sulkies were used exclusively.
No other kind was seen on the course.

J0HNs0N's SIDE OF IT.
Sul1ivan's Backer Says That John L. Wa
Certainly Not Drugged.


Certainly Not Drugged.
NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-Charley Johnston,
hacker of John L. Sullivan, is not at all
pleased ut the statements insinuating foul
play at the recent championship battle
which the big fellow fs said to have made.
81 am surprised that John should have any
thing further to say regarding the defeat
than what he said in New Orleans" said the
Brooklynite. "He was defeated as fairly as
any man ever was, and these stories of
drugging and all that sort of thing are
enough to make an intelligent man tired.
As matter of fact Sullivan was in better
condition to fight that night in the Olympic
Club than ever before in his life. He said SO
himself. The reason for his defeat was be-
cause he found better man than himself in
front of him. can hardly believe that John
would be foolish enough to say that he was
drug2ed. II Sullivan was not fit how could
he have fought nearly an hour and a half"
"What do you think of his intention to
take another crack at Corbett; would you
back him?"
al don't care to say whether would back
him or not; but will say that he is not dis
playing good judgment in talking of another
match. The quicker he abandons that idea
the better. People who did not see the
fight have been filling Johns head with
strange notions. If he was drugged in New
Orleans l wonder what was the matter in
France"
