A 40 to 1 Shot Won in the First Race
of the Dny.

The features of the day at Aqueduct yes
terday were the victory of Morokanta a 30
to / shot, In the first race, and the action
of the stewards when called on to pass
judgment on a claim of foul in the fourth
The most surprising thing about Moro
kanta's victory was that the colt was al
lowed to run loose at such price. There
was some 40 to l to be had against him
when the layers first opened business for
the day. Heliobas, the great sprinter, was
an odds on favorite, and he surely out
classed his rivals, but the Farandole horse
was not up to race and was not in the
money at the finish Maiden was the pace
maker for a good part of the six furlongs;
and then Morokanta was sent up by Walsh
and in drive headed Shoreham by half a
length when he passed the judges, the
pacemaker finishing third.
The race that gave the stewards a chance
to surprise the public had only four horses
as starters. Going around the first turn
there was good deal of crowding between
Criterion, Lucky Star and Bowen, who ran
in that order, with reference to the rail-,
with Handicapped on the extreme outside
and running last. Lucky Star seemcl to
get the worst of the crowding aid fell
back, but Bowen soon afterWard retired 20
the rear and finished an extremely bad Ia s.,
with severe cut on his off hind leg.
Wonderiy made complaint to the stew
ards who examined every boy but the right
one, Ikeu1eIu, anu luSI ulSQudllIlou fidnut-
capper, who was on the extreme outside
and in last position when the accident oc-
Cured Criterion seemed to be the often
der. He swung a bit wide and carried
Bowen out into Lucky Star, but Reiferu
was not questioned.
The fifth race furnished fine contest.
Locket was left at the post but otherwise
the start was excellent. Honolulu ths IA
yorfte, was in the forefront all the way,
and skillfully ridden by Shaw, just man
aged to stall off Carrington's challenge at
the finish. The favorite won by the s.icrt-
est of noses
Criterion, by the way. was amazingly i'm
proved over his race the other day, when
he had to be driven to the last gasp to beat
Molly Peyton by a head. Molly Peyton is

"NOODLES" HAHN'S OFFER.
Can Select His own Club and Draw
$4,000 Season.

The American League generals have not
giver up hope of landing Frank Ham, the
Cincinnati pitcher. The fact that Hahn
has not signed with the Cincinnati club, in
which city he is Wintering, is believed to
mean that he is at least considering the Of
fer he has from Ban Johnson. The exact
terms of this offer were learned yesterday
in Chicago. Hahn will not have to deal
with any club, but with the league direct.
A contract has been offered him which calls
for salary of $500 a season for two sea-
sons, and Hahn is given the privilege to in
sert the name of any club in the league.
That is, he is given the privilege to pick
the club he prefers to play with. The con-
tract offered the Cincinnati man Is IRON
Clad SO it is said, and the club which would
secure his services would be compelled to
pay him the salary for two years, whether
he worked or not. 1t is naturally supposed
that Hahn, should he decide to sign with
the American League, would pick one of
the big cities to play in. Comiskey. is par
ticularly anxious to get the crack left-hand-
er. He says that with Hahn added to his
pitching staff Chicago would be assured of

the jaw sent Jim to the floor. Jeffords
jumped up and sent rfght-hand swing

An appropriate tribute of esteem and ap-

club. last night at his cozy rooms in the
Gloucester by coterie of friends in the
presentation of handsome silver service.
Mr.. Manning gathered friends around him
from the first time he set foot in Washing
ton, and after one seasons experience in
this city his followers had become legion.
When Mr.. Manning decided to get out of
base ball several Of his friends determined
that he should be given little token as a
sort of remembrance and last night wit
messed the elimination of the project. MIR.
James w. Dunn presented the service to
Mr.. Manning, with a few words expressing
the regard entertained for him by the local
base ball public. The latter replied with a
few remarks of appreciation of the testi-
monial and his sorrow of parting, and then
Mr.. Wilton J. Lambert spoke with force
and feeling Of the base ball managers ca
reer in Washington.
Refreshments were served and the even
ing was passed in discussing last seasons s
base ball experiences.
The service presented to Mr. Manning
consisted of five pieces of solid silver of a
unique and handsome design. Upon four
of the five pieces are engraved large Old

e, The stable Of Col. James E. Pepper Of
Meadowthorpe, near Lexington, KY, closed
the racing season on the eastern turf $40, 900
to the good. The stable is conducted by
the wife of Col. Pepper, Mrs. Ella Pepper.
A few years ago the colonels health broke
down, and he decided to give up the turf
and sell his horses. Then Mrs. Pepper
asked for the transfer OF her husbands 8
string Of thoroughbreds to herself. Col
Pepper complied, and Mrs. Peppers name
became as familiar to followers Of the turf
as was his own. There were in the stables
Black Venus, Barley Corn, Whisky King,
Lady Pepper and a dozen other horses. all
with fine racing records. Mrs. Pepper did
not confine her entries to the horses owned
by her husband when she came into pos
session. She bought for herself, and one
notable purchase was that of Kantaka,
whom she secured from Pierre Lorilard

field presided as judge at the recent sue
cessful meeting at Pimlico and it was
largely through his influence that many OF
the stables there determined to come to
the Benning meeting.
A special train from New York will bring

The pennsylvania railroad Will run con-
yenient specials to and from the track dur
ing the meeting, and Columbia electric cars

Speculation over a continuance of the
meeting beyond the eighteen days decided
on is not based on any trustworthy
grounds. There is no probability Of such
extension.
Up to this time the sale of season badges
has been larger than at any similar period
before previous meetings.
The same careful scrutiny will be the or

- ~ a. W raVOr1te over
Rubin.
So great clamor was raised by Cham
pion Jeffries' friends and admirers to see
him go through his exercises that he left
Hardin Springs, Cal, for Oakland yester-
day. Most Of his work at Oakland will be
done indoors. Reports say he was never in
better trim and that he has given special
attention to hardening the muscles Of his
left arm, which failed him in his last fight,
| Ruhlin's quarters have been visited by
hundreds of sports anxious to get line on
| him. All report that Gus Is in great form.
and that Madden is confident he will win
| out.
Betting has commenced on the fight The
odds yesterday were five to two on Jeffries,
but the sporting sages believe that before
| the week ends the betting will be put two
! to one.
Jeff's announcement that he proposeg to
mix things from the tap of the gong has
| stimulated interest in the contest, for in
| all Of his previous fights jeff has played a
waiting game, and has thus detracted from
the spectacular features that he now prom
ises. If he goes in for slugging from the
| start this battle between giants will be a
| memorable ring contest.
Unless the unforeseen happens, neither
man Will have any excuse to offer ON The
score or condition The question that ssor is
are asking is, Can Jeffries knock ou. Ruh-
lin in the stipulated number of rounds ?
i1NcN Tic duulIeFS only expect the
| Akron giant to be on his feet at the end of
twenty rounds. Ruhiin's only boast is tnat
! he will be on his feet at the end OF tie
/ last round.
Assuming that the fight should go to the
| limit and that Ruhlin, ii anything, misat
| have shade the better Of the confess.
| those interested in ring fights say that
| it would take an extraordinary referee to
decide against the champion Of the world.
| That Is one of the reasons why men are
| laying long odds on Jeffries. OF course. the
main reason is that Jeffries has a nucl,
better record. He Is younger and has n. YER
