Steeplechase Course Rebuilt.
In this connection It is stated that the

as to conform to the requirements of the
rules of the National Steeplechase Associa-
| ton. These rules require at least six fences
| in every mile Of the course: that the water
| jump shall be at least twelve feet wide and
| two feet deep, and guarded by fence not
less than two feet in perpendicular height:
| that there shall be In each course at least
| two bitches not less than five feet wide and
| two feet deep, guarded on the take-on side
| by a single rail and on the landing side a
| fence not less than four feet six inches in
| less than three feet in width. The minimum
] perpendicular height of all other jumps
| shall be not less than four feet six inches.
This stifening Of the jumps at the Benning
| course will make the races over them all
| the more exciting and interesting. thus In
| surfing the best OF sport.
| Notwithstanding the fact that the heavy
| snowfall Of last week greatly interfered
| with the work of preparing the horses at
| the local track, the work is now going on,
| and the great majority will be ready on the
| opening day Of the meeting, Monday.

Reach Agreement About Chicago.
American League base ball owners at
Chicago made an anicab(e arrangement
Saturday with James A. Hart Of the Chi
cago League club. for q club OF the Ameri-
can League in Chicago, and passed the en-
tire deal UP to the powers of the National
League for approval.
The talk Of starting an American Associa-
ton by the National League has accord
ingly ceased. The plan by which the ma
tional agreement is to he preserved provides
grounds at Cleveland by Kilfoyl and
Somers at a price said, to be $4,000.
Hart insisted on the deal for the Cleve-
land grounds and when it was agreed to
big league owners. The American League
adjourned after placing full power Of con-
Guiding the deal IN the. hands Of Prest-
dent Ban B. johnson, but there was still a
chance that the deal would not go through.
Mr.. Kilfoyl. thet Cleveland Representative.
was unable to. say whether he and his
partner. Mr.. somers. would take the old
grounds in Cleveland, which the Robson
brothers formerly used. The new Cleve-
land owners tried to bay out the Robisons.
but were turned down and engaged another
park.
The American League adjourned subject
to call. and will probably be summoned
again in the latter part Of the week to take
action on schedule: In the meantime

STRENGTHENING the Giants.

Nothing new has cropped UP within the
past twenty-four hours in the New York
situation. Mr. Freedman has doubtless
thrown overheard his promises to make
the Giants strong aggregation next sea-
son and awaits the action Of his brother
magnates. He will not put up cent to
strengthen the New York club and he will
not need to.
Already the Boston club has come to his
assistance by 'loaning'' Hickman and Fris-
bee, either one being better than Slagle
over whom he is raising such a fuss. while
Mr.. Brush Is credited with also '1oaning''
Twirler Hawley and Fielder Selbach. These
players should make the New York team
quite strong. but other good players will
probably be given to Freedman and a for
midable club finally rounded UP.
The league magnates should go slow in
this "loaning' business. Last season there
was quite a howl over syndicate ball, but
that involved only two clubs, while the
present loaning business will apparently
take in the entire organization. Hippo
droming will never do in base ball. and it
seems foolhardy for the National League
to create material for the coming oppose
ton by booming the New York club
Pitcher Case Patten, who was obtained by
the Cincinnati club last season and then
''farmed" out to the Kansas City club has
been recalled to the Reds by Manager AL
len. Patterns work in the Western League
last season was sensational. and Manager
Alien cOHCluueQ ,tQal Clnclnnatl wanted
him quite badly. With Breitenstein. Hahn
and Patten the Reds have quite an array Of
southpaws.
The Cincinnati outfield next season will
probably be Nc Bride. Barrett and Crawford
with Elmer Smith as utility fielder. Sell
bach was never considered, and Smiths
work last season was disappointing In the
way Of batting. There is a great deal Of
unknown talent In the Reds. and 1t would
be Just like Manager Allen to surprise the
base ball world by making a winner out of
his club
