TED'S COWBOY TWIRLER
Bullet-Proof Ned Finds an Easy
Game With a Cuban.
Won Big Stock of Havana Cigars
by Knocking Down Doll
Babies.

Hello, there" cherrily sang out Ted
Sullivan TO The Times man last night,
I've got a nice present for you-a box OF
genuine Cuban cigars, and | will make 1t
two boxes, so you can treat all the staff,
including the man with the blue pencil, If
you won't put slang in my mouth when
you print news that tell YOU. l am Civ
ing it to You on the level and will keep
my word if you act square.
III tell you about the cigars and how
l came by them. You will remember 1
told you about a cowboy pitcher that 1
secured down in Texas for my New Haven
ball club. As l told you, Bullet Proof
Ned is his name and he has a private
graveyard at his home in Navasota county.
X HE'D all forty OF them legitimately though
in the discharge OF his duty as sheriff of
the county. A man should not be blamed
for killing people and umpircs where there
is no other recourse.
Ned has gone into training for his en-
gagement this season and he writes me that
he has worked his arm up to the point where
splitting tcn-inch planks with base ball
at the pitchers distance is dead easy for
him.
He Is big strapping fellow, tall as
Long John Healy and as robust as Rusie
He is wonder, as YOU will say when yOu
see him pitch against the Senators on
April 6.
Ned sent the cigars TO me-a dozen
boxcs-and they are as fine as were ever
smoked. Sorry l haven't a sample to give
you. but l only brought one down TO-
night and am burning it now. Just smell
that smoke. Ned came into the possession
OF the cigars in a unique way. Unique
is a good word, amt it?
1T was like this; an exile from Cuba, who
was eXpatriat ed fromthe warrentisland, be-
cause OF his sympathy with the rebellion,
came TO Galveston and from there went
into the interior OF Texas with a catch
penny arrangement Of lot of doll babies
strung in rows on a wooden frame.
The Cuban was a thrifty genius, and
on leaving his unhappy country he kept
his business senses with him and brought
along two or three trunks full of fine
cigars, which he managed TO smuggle
through Galveston.
He gave these cigars away as pre-

front, taking the place OF unfortunate
Mosher.
Davidson held close and toward the
finish moved up even with the Newburg boy.
Eighteen laps had been reeled off, and
only two were left to be covered.
AN EXCITING FINISH.
Itwas acase ofsalvator and Tenny gain,
and the crowd went wild.
As even as straight line, they skiTted
the frozen surface and dead heat seemed
the only solut ion.
But as on former occasions DOnoghue's
legs reached to the front, and Oh the
last six feet he stretched and passed, i
winner, as Manager Towers pistol an
nounced finish.
1t was so close that many disputed
DOnoghue's victory, but the three judges
| at the end as well as those who possessed
positions Of vantage, said that the Ameri
can was as much as twelve inches ahead
of Davidson when the line was crossed.
The amateur race yesterday afternoon at
i 4:15 O'Clock was won easily by John T
Davidson.
| At the last moment John consented to
make the race, and he had as competitors
several local skaters, to whom he gave
an advantage Of a lap and halfof the hall.
In this race, Steits, champion of the
District, finished second; with Wise, cham
! pion of Long Island third; and Hgeufritz
| fourth.
Tonight at O'Clock John F. Davidson,
of st. Paul. and brother of Harley David
son, Will attempt TO break the three mile
record of 9:02 for indoor surfaces. 1t
will be his first appearance at real hard
work and his speed will be worth seeing.
AT O'Clock tonight Mosher, Harley

one-half miles, or twenty-five times around
| the hall.
| Despite the very bad weather overhead
and underfoot last night the usual large
crowd of spectators and skaters was in

certainty, and the cnterprising turfmen.
r. E. De b. Lopez. proprietor of the Mer-
rlwa stock farm, who first put the starter
into operation in America, has now at
tanned a popularity which is nothing less
than national. For a long time Mr.. Lopez
has held a high place in western turf circles,
and has spent money literally for the i'm
provement OF breeding.
That there existed in this country
strong prejudice against the machine Mr.
Lopez very wen knew, and it required
good deal Of courage on his part 10 take
the risk OF importing one of the affairs
and giving it a test. But he did il, and
its success has been far greater tlnln he
had ever dreamed il would be, for now
he is receiving the congratulations OF turf
men everywhere.
A SIMPLE CONTRIYANCE.
The machine is so simple that it is
wonder that some American ha not already
patented a similar device. Although it
was claimed by horsemen before the ma
chine was publicly tried that horses would
have TO be educated" 10 start by il, the
demonstrations show that the racers are
in no Deed OF education, and take TO the
contriyance quite naturally.
Both horses and Jockeys learn al first
sight that there is no start when the
barrier is in front of them, and that there
is no recall after il is raised. The riders
know that the only thing for them to
do is to keep their mounts heads in the
proper direction, and 10 wait the barriers

/ for position avail nothing while the gate
| is down, and they naturally sit quiet- but
with watchful eye, 10 be in readiness for
business the moment the way is clear.
