Intelligent Race Horse.

Ben Brush is u race horse such as Is
seldom met with. He has more racing
sense than most men and a good many
jockeys. He always evinced a desire
to be in front. whether in walking or
an exercise gallop. He wants to forge
ahead just enough to lead by a nose.
In his races he does not want to lead
until in the stretch. when he will shoot
out and finish under the wire first. In

Va tHe Ndllonai League Is well known
by an incident in the lively life of N. II.
Young. president of the big league,
writes President Baker OF the new
League of Eastern Sporting writer's in
the Syracuse Courier of which paper
he Is sporting editor. He found early
In the season that many baseball edi-
tors We're not scoring a sacrifice hit az
a time at bat. He read the rules care
fully. to be sure, and promulgated off,
cially that the Alb. column must con-
tain the times at bat when sacrifice hits
We're made; there was no provision in
the scoring rules for doing otherwise.
Three reporters got back letters In the
next mall remarking that while the
scoring rules were not stated, in the
playing rules was explicit provision
that sacrifice hits should not so count
And the reporters used their option in
following the playing rules as they have
a right to do.
The real significance of the work done
by the newspaper men in convention in
this city. Tuesday is perhaps not fully
appreciated. The attendance was not
large. but 1t was representative, and

work of the Reporters League. When
the committee of which Mr. Kirby of
Providence is chairman shall have
completed the work left to 1t, it is safe
to prophesy that the sporting editor Of
every daily paper in every city Of the
Eastern League will set his signature
under this report in endorsement of it.

A permanent organization of Eastern

proposition of the Eastern League COM
mittee To join in this appeal to the Ma

do. and as President Powers saws every
New York man stands ready to do
there is assurance that the demands of
the newspaper men will not only be
considered. but acceded to i'm detail.

ciates that the power of amending the
