Western League Solid.

M. H. Sexton, president of the West

that the Western league this year is
making more money than it has ever
done in it's history and in commenting
on the Milwaukee teams work said
that it had improved until it was now
admittedly ahead of the Milwaukee,

made against the Milwaukee associa-

Catcher Lucia of the Western league

Veteran Turfman Gone.

"The great Judge is going to hang
out my number pretty soon." These
were the last words of Sam Bryant,
the veteran turfman who died at his
home in Louisville last week, and it
would have been impossible for him
to have uttered, no matter what he
said, more characteristic sentence.
His whole life interest was in the
turf, and for over fifty years he had
been familiar to every man and boy
connected with racing in America. No
man was more straightforward or
outspoken in his speech, but he leaves
behind him host Of friends, and few,
if any, enemies.
Sam Bryant was we'll over the allot-
ted three score years and ten, yet he
was a man of marvellous vigor and
activity. Hundreds Of stories are told
that illustrate his vitality and robust
ness during the past five or ten years.
But nothing so well demonstrated his
determination and activity as his trip
to Chicago, all the way from Louis
vile, to see the fifteenth running OF
the American Derby at Washington
Park.

PraiseWorthN Idea.

The action of the National Cycling
association in starting fund for
riders injured in cycle racing, is look
ed upon as a commendable feature OF
that interesting sport. Riding as fast
as their times show, the speed mer
chants are liable to accident at any
time. Following gasoline motors
around saucer-like tracks at the rate
of forty miles an hour, is not only a
thrilling sight, but one that is danger
GUS in the extreme. The bursting of
a tire, the breaking of chain, loss
of nerve on the part of the steersman
might result in a tumble, which would
mean at least an enforced vacation
for the riders who earn their living
at this game. Should they be laid
up for few weeks in the hospital, it
is some satisfaction to know that a
weekly allowance is forthcoming from
the riders fund. The fund is support
ed by benefit meets held at frequent
intervals and from percentages donat
ed by promoters at various tracks.

EarIy Baseball.

1t was on those rural fields in the
heyday Of baseball that the sport, if
less refined. was more picturesque.
That the game was vocal goes with
the saying. Not far away from the
truth was the country captain who
described his team as men who can't
bat much or field much. but first
rate takers. To dispute the umpire
on every close decision was orthodox
duty-a fashion not yet outlived-and
it made the rural bail game forensic
as well as spectacular.
The country umpire, who was
usually selected by the home team
merits his specific picture. In the
earlier days of the sport he was cho-
sen for knowledge or the rules sim
ply because the opposing bucol;c
mines had so little knowledge them
selves. Later technical lore become
somewhat secondary as a credential
and in the ideal rural umpire was
sought a kind Of Boanerges-a Son
of Thunder. believing out his decis-
ions until the wekin echoed and
able on the one hand either to pla-
cate the crowd by good temper or to
daunt it with strong speech. That is
to say the umpire Of the time and
place had to own no middle terms of
personal temperament, but be either
extremely crisp or superlatively good
natured and tactful.-Outing.

Wants Another Derby Race.
In an editorial the New York Trib-
une says:
"The western turfmen made the
eastern owners look cheap in the rich
American Derby in Chicago From
the Atlantic coast Heno, Pentecost,
Arsenal and Hermis were sent to the
shores of Lake Michigan to compete
with the fastest runners OF the west.
Our eastern colts were smitten hip
and thigh, not one of them getting
even a place at Washington park.
"Now the leading men of the New
York turf asks their good friends on
the further side of the Alleghanies to
send Wyeth, Lucien Appleby, and
Aladdin, the three placed horses In
the American Derby. to snuff the
salty air of Long Island and to show
their PAGES against Heno and Pente-
cost, Arsenal and Hermis In the
course of coming meeting. If the
western owners will take up the
gage of battle which the east throws
down in chivalric spirit OF honor
able challenge, without the slightest
touch of jealousy or ill feeling, excit-
ing races will be seen, and how
hearty welcome the visitors from
Chicago will receive here!
Eastern owners of fast colts took
great deal of trouble and spent
much money to champion the orr
famine of the empire state in the turf
tournament in Chicago. They were
greeted cordially and treated with
generous hospitality. They have no
fault to find, no complaint to make;
but they are ardentiy desirous of a
return match Why, then, should not
the western champions be brought
here to meet our eastern flyers on
Long Island?"

Good Out o. Evil.

Notwithstanding the patent fact
that the public is becoming nauseated
with the embarrassing and confusing
legal mazes into which baseball has
been thrust as a result of the fierce
Major league contest, there is no sign
of abatement in the legal warfare.
While the ST. Louis clubs injunction
suit is slumbering in the Missouri
Supreme court. and the MCGUIRE case
is pending in the United States court
in Philadelphia, the Lajoie case is be-
ing enlarged by contempt proceedings
just brought by the Philadelphia club.
To top it all the Worcester club OF
the Eastern league is seeking to en-
join outfielder Smoot from playing
with the ST. Louis National league
club. This case is interesting from
the fact that the Eastern league con-
tracts last year were provided with
a one-year option clause similar to
the National league option clause
which the Pennsylvania Supreme
court declared to be legal and bind
ing.
Temporarily harmful though all this
litigation may be, yet it is not alto
gether undesirable. 1t is a part of
the war which will eventually reshape
baseball; and the net result of the
lawing and arguing will probably be
some sort of good and binding base
ball contract. At any rate, when the
magnates get done with lawyers and
courts they will have a better knowl-
edge OF the status Of the baseball bus
mess, and clearer perception of it's
limitations and their own duties
toward it, than ever before Do what
the magnates will, they cannot kill
the game itself. The only question is
how much harm they will do them
selves by their furious endeavors to
kill each other off. Financial losses
and multiplicity OF law suits will end
war quicker and better than anything
else; so go ahead with sticking on
tho legal dogs Of war, Messrs. Mag
nates.-Sporting Life.
