the Lackawanna Iron and Steel COM

TO-DAY.
MUCH DEPENDS ON THE REsULr-THE CoNTINU
ANcE OF RACING MEETS TO BE DECIDED
BY THE PATRoNAGE-BorH MEN
IN primo CONDITION.

Probably meet held IN years will DO
watched closely Is the one to be held at the
Manhattan Beach track to-day. The chief contest
OF the day will be match between Jimmy"
Michael and Thomas Linton. and II Is expected 10
furnish the best contest OF the year Promoters
and clubs will watch the outcome and the number
OF spectators present. In the attendance is
small II is likely that few other big meets Will be
held In this city this season. Paced races OF this
sort cost great deal OF money and the promoters
arc not likely to keep at It unless the gate receipts
warrant the expenditure. II Is thought that Linton
will have the better pacemakers Michaels friends
are confident that the midget will win and they are
backing their opinions with cash.
When Jimmy faces the starter with me to-
morrow afternoon" said Linton yesterday, "one
OF the desires OF my life will be accomplished I
have looked for a meeting with Michael for thrcs
years. and II was much FOR this as any other
reason that came TO America this year have
trained hard for this contest and IL | did not
think that would win would not go into H. Ths
pacemakets who will lead me are as hardy lot
as | have ever seen. They have won ten races this
year and only lost one and each member OF my
crew believes that another victory Will be added
to the long list to-day. We all in excellent con-
dlton."

anu dS we nave record or ten victories out

meeting. ! believe that both Linton and McDunce
can defeat Michael behind our pacemakers. and
the boys Will do their share tomorrow 20 make
this another victory for the black and pink team 4"
ne meeting this afternoon between the erstwhile
school and play mates will be the first that has
taken place between them for three years. At that
time Linton was anxious to meet Michael, and
posted deposit with The London Sporting Life
10 bind the match between the two men. Michael
shortly after that departed for this country. and
Linton came over few months later. II was at
this time that Edward Pummer. who was In
tons manager. MADE the boas. that Linton had
driven Michael from England. Linton denies ever
having made such statement. On the contrary,
no declares that he criticised his manager for the
remark
When Linton arrived In America he promptly
challenged Michael, aud a almost ar
ranged for when Michael found 1t necessary TO re-
turn 10 England 10 attend TO some legal affairs
This Is the first time since then that Linton has
had an opportunity to meet the midget.
