STRONG EVIDENCE
AGAINST JOCKEYS
PARIS POLICE CLAIM THEY HAVE
PHOTO SHOWING JOHN RElFF
PULLING A MOUNT.
[By ASSOCIATED pREss.]

Paris, Nov. Io.-The English Jockey
club has notified the French association
that 1t will support the French Jockey
CLUBS suspension of the American
jockeys. Members of the French Jockey
club sneer at Reiff's and Henry's engage
ment OF Maitrc Labor to procure their re-
instatement and intimate their efforts will
fail. MacIntyre, who quietly accepted his
suspension, is soon to get renewal of his
license.
Bob Rose, the bookmaker, sailed for
New York recently. The disclosures of
the collusion between the jockeys and
bookmakers have induced the deputies to
endeavor to have passed law abollshing
all bookmaking. They argue that book
making injuries the Paris mutual pools.
The latter are controlled by the govern
ment and percentage goes to charity.
Abolish the bookmakers, they say and in
crease the government revenue from the
races.
lhe minister of the interior showed the
American correspondent many snap shots
which he has obtained as evidence 10
prove the guilt of the card sharps, jockeys
and bookmakcrs. One of these photo
graphs shows korn accepting bundle O,
bills from man who called himself Tod
Sloan's secretary The picture was taken
at lrouvlle. Another shows Sol Schles-
singer dining with companion and three
quarts OF champagne on the table.
Still another photograph shows RciIf in
an act which the police allege is that of a
horse being pulled. The police are not
afraid of the result Of Reilf's and Hcnry's
appeal to law. Paris has not been so
free from international crooks for years
as it is now.

.LAJ0|E OFFERED
A LARGE SALARY
GREAT BALL PLAYER WILL RECEIVE
BIG AMOUNT FROM THE NEW
YORK NATIONAL CLUB.

New York, Nov. io.-John T. Brush did
not arrive in town yesterday as scheduled,
consequently the name OF the great Ameri-
can league player recently signed by the
New York baseball club is still in abey-
ancc. 1t is known, however, that Mr.
Brush was in Cleveland recently and was
negotiating with Iajoie.
Mr.. Watkins, manager OF the Tndanapo-
lis club, who is very close to Mr. Brush,
told me yesterday that he knows Iajoie
was offered $io.ooo in cash as bonus to
sign a two years contract for SIS 900 in
addition to the bonus, which would make
his salary $35,ooo for two years.
How is that for a two or three hours
pleasurable excitement every afternoon
during the SUMMER
Who wouldn't be a ball player instead
Of a bank president?
And those are the salaries being offered
by the New York club. No mixed ale for
the downirodden, diamond -bedeckcd ball
player this soft coal winter. lie can play
pinochle all through the cold months. and
for half dollar corner, and never finch.
Thirty thousand dollars makes a
pinochle or As game look like IS cents
And there are other players who have
been offered salaries in proportion Dele
hanty, VINO is at the race track every day
and who has been flirting with Manager
McGraw, has been offered $4,000 in cash as
advance money and given his contract to
fiji out himself Del is still flirting and
playing the races on a system
And still. with those fabulous sums star
ing them in the face. the players are hold
ing on-which makes il apparent that the
American league has some good money in
its own Golfers.
But this only adds to the interesting
situation.

Missoula, Nov. Io-The basket BAH

young ladies on both teams have been

the American league team in St. Louis.
1t was bad enough news to the New York
management to hear that the American
league has secured foothold in their
strongest city, but to lose their star pitcher
and to the enemy at that, is a blow from
which it will take time to recover. New
York is not the only National league
team TO suffer desertion. 1t is reported on
good authority that Pittsburg has lost its
entire staff of twirlers. This don't look
as if the American league is on the down
ward path by good deal

BUT RAN AHEAD IN THIRD.

Anaconda, Nov. Io.--An interesting
bowling contest took place yesterday
afternoon when the Printers and Black
smiths teams met at the Tolan alleys. In
the first two games the printers bowled in
flne form and won by the narrow margin
OF 2a pins. The third game however, went
in favor of the blacksmiths, who rolled
score high enough to overcome this lead
and win the match handily. 1t is probable
that another game will be arranged for

Two Teams In Denver.

Rumors are flying about pretty lively in
Denver to the effect that two baseball
teams will hold sway in the Colorado
metropolis. The fact that the American
association is figuring on changing its
circuit next year makes the invasion OF
Denver look all the more probable. 1t is
no longer mere rumor that two or three
cities will be taken in, and this means
that as many cities now on the American
Association circuit will have to be
dropped. Any city that the American
association drops is bound to be good
one and it looks now as though the
Tebeau-Hickey combination is figuring on
taking these cities and with Denver and
Omaha forming second league.
Nothing definite can as yet be learned
concerning the proposed new league, but
the rumors will not down and it is more
than probable that they will prove we'll
founded before another baseball season
rolls round.

Automobiing is fast becoming a popu-
lar sport among the upper classes
throughout the United States. The Auto
mobile Club Of America has been instru-
mental in large measure for the in
creased interest taken in the motor We
hicle. While the annual election of that
organization will not be held until No
vember IS, there is already much speeu-
lation not only among the members, but
among all interested in the workings OF
the club as to who will be the new leader
when the term Of the present incumbent
OF the presidents chair expires Mr.. A.
r. Shatuck has occupied that important
position for two terms and has announced
that he will not consider a denomination.
The name most frequently mentioned
for the Office OF president is that Of Win
throp Z. Scarrtt who has taken a lively
interest in automobiing during the past
few years. He is the president of the
American Automobile association as we'll
as of the New Jersey Automobile club,
and it is by no means certain that he
would care to add to his already arduous
duties. That he would give new life to
the big organization is generally conceded.
