OPERATORS RE1lleUs[D

Sue the Western Union.
WIRES WERE NOT. TAPPED
Claim Made That Agents Of the Tele-
graph Company Sent the Name of
Royal Nettie as the Winner-Li-
censes Issued to Trainers and Jock
eys for the Coming Season.

Louisville, ky., March 1.-THE o owners
OF the Turf Exchange will bring suit against
the Western Union Telegraph Company for
therecovery of So 900 paid outon Saturday
by reason of sending out Royal Nettie as
the winner OF the last race al New Orleans.
The petition will probably be filed in the
local courts today.
WORK OF OPERATORS.
The owners of the Turf Exchange claim
to know positively that the wires were not
tapped, and claim that some OF the agents
OF the Western Union Telegraph Company
sent the name of Royal NettIe from New
Orleans as the winner.
The impression Is that some OF the opera
tors ut New Orleans were in the conspiracy
with the men who bet o n the horse all over
the country, or that one or more OF III EN-
were bribed.
ROYAL NETTIE THE ONLY NAME.
The owners of the Turf Exchange claim
to have Information that no other horse
than Royal Nettie was wired to the racing
bureau in New York as the winner, and
therefore hold that the responsibility rests
entirely with the Western Union for negli-
gcnce of Its agents.

The list OF stables that intend shipping

the BenDing people will te able TO fill
their program with a collection of equine
stars far in excess of their anticipations, as
there is hardly i trainer at either Norris
Park, Grave send, sheepshead Bay or
Brighton that will not be represented.
STAKE HORSES LIKELY TOCOME.
Nearly all owners OF thoroughbreds real
ize that their is nothing that conditions n
horse as well as TO race them, and it will
not he surprisingtO sec stake horses compet-
ing in overnight events. 1t win fit them
for the opening in New York far better
than gallopiDg "for fun" would.
Another and a very material induce
mept is that the purses to be distributed
are extremely liberal, aud to win couple
means a material help toward pa ying feed
bills.
or course, this invasion OF bigh-class
horses will lessen the chances OF poor
horse winning, but it is bound to bring
some excellent sport. The program will
be framed to suit all classes, but it is almost
a certainty that the bulk OF the plums Will
he harvested by the cracks.
RUNNERS ALREADY AT BENNING.
The stables are filling up fast. Those al
ready on the ground, or who will arrive
this week, are: F. A. Tschiffley. with 4;

This will compel the late cof-ers 10 seek
quarters outside the track. A number or
the neighboring barns have been engaged,
and others are negotiating for stalls at
Ivy City. Those in charge at the latter
place will, IL they succeed in leasing
sufficient number of stables to warrant the
expense. keep the track narrowed and in
condition for use.
There is some talk OF a short meeting at
Ivy City Immediately after the close at
Benning That such a meeting would pay

on May 9 which leaves an open week be-
fore the start at Morris Park.

DEFENDS FRANK ERNE.
New Yorker Says He Did Right in NJ
Meeting Cans.

New Yorker Says He Did Right in Not
Meeting Cans.
New York writer has the following to
say about Erne and Cans:
Frank Erne WIS well within his rights
when he refused TO box Joe Cans, who was
three pounds overweight, when weighed in
at the Manhattan tournament. Erne is
displa ying shrewdness in getting to the
top, for he is ambitious to defeat George
Dixon and if articles are signed by boxers
who wish to meet Ernc, there is every rea-
son why the conditions should be observed.
There has been too. much boxing at catch
weights among the little fellows. Glasses
in boxing were made for their benefit, and
they should derive all the advantages to
be obtained. The sight OF Griffo, who is
almost, if not quite, a weltcrweight, fight
ing feathcrweights, has not always been
plea SAINT, for the fair play was not appar-
ent. The trouble with many boxers is that
they try to box i'll ella sses where they do
not properly belong. 1t is Il well-known
fact that Griffo, McAuliffe and other box
ers, will, under no circumstances, make
known their weight. Griffo, for instance,
has about as much right to call himself
feather weight as has Jim Corbett.".

the liver by the poisons OF indigestion. Nor

OF 1t. And the Shakers have proved it by
the wonderful success OF their Shaker Di-

Boston. March 16. The Boston A:h-

sentcd at the athletic carnival at Athens,
and on Saturday team OF four men viii
sail 70 r New York. They are expected to
arrive in Greece on April 8, the day be-
fore the opening of the olympic games.
II was found that four good men
would consent to make up the team;
Thomas L. Burke, the American quarter
mile champion; Arthur Blake, who has
won many points for the b. A "A. at dis
,ances from 100 yards upward; EIlery
Il. Clark, the all-round athlete, and
Frank W. Lord, an excellent hurdler and
sprinter, or Thomas p. Curtis, Lords
partner. Both Lord and Curtis cannot
be away at the same time, owing to
their business. Lord will probably be
chosen.
BURKE, THE SPLINTER.
The result of the first canvass for money
proved unsatisfactory, but this was due 10
misapprehension all around. The ath-
.etic committee soon saw the change in SEN
timent, reconsidered its action, and agreed
to send Manager John Graham and four
men to compete in the Olympic games, their
expenses having been guaranteed.
Burke will be entered 10 compete at 100,
400 and 500 metres, which is practically
ITO. 440 and $50 yards. He has a record
OF 10 1-5 seconds for 100 yards; % 20
seconds for eco yards; SO 2-5 seconds for
800 yards, 40 seconds for the quarter mile,
which was his time when he won the inter-
national race last fall, and minute 3 2-5
seconds for the 800 yards. His finish
i'll the international quarter-miIe race was
sensational in the extreme.
Arthur Blake will be entered In the
900 and 1,5OO-meter runs, and also the
26-mile run from Marathon to Athens.
He has a mile indoor record of minutes
80 40 seconds. made when he won the in
1oor championship of the New England
Amateur Athletic Associations Union two
years ago. He ran hare and hound at
Harvard few years ago. and should
prove q factor in the 26-mile run.
CLARK HAS PERMISSION.
Elery Fl. Clark is . student of Harvard,
and as he is high scholarship man, he can
20 with the team, with the consent OF the
faculty, which has been promised. In the
championship games OF the Maritime Prov
Inces last summer he won five straight prizes
and broke several records. His records for
that day were as follows: High jump,
feet 10 3-e inches; putting 16-pOund shot,
80 feet; broad jump, 81 feet 8 inches; 120
yards hurdle. Il 20 seconds, and throw
ing the hammer, 80 feet. He will be en-
tered for the high and broad jumps, the hop,
step and jump, and the hammer, if this last
.vent is added to the program, as is ex-
pectcd.
