AmER1cANs I'm NEW YORK.
James c. Kennedy to Look After Joh1
sons Club Id the Big CITY,

James c. Kennedy, the well-known pro-
moter of athletic contests. will be at the
head of the American League Club that Is
to be placed in New York city, provided
there Is no hitch In the plans of the invad-
ers.
Ban johnson. president of the American
League, arrived in New York Tuesday
night. He put in busy day yesterday in
consultation with several parties who are
to be interested In the new club.
From a reliable source it was learned that
the final arrangements for laying out the
grounds and building stands were COM
pleted yesterday.
The location of the grounds will surprise
the people OF New York city. Where they
are will be made known In a few days-just
as soon as few details are arranged.
Kennedy has had considerable experience
in base ball and knows the game and it's
requirements thoroughly. 1t is understood
that he will be given charge Of flrst-class
team, with full powers.
While the invaders were busy fixing up
their plans the National League magnatcs
were in session in their offices in the st.
James building, New York. With the ex-
ception of st. Louis every club IN the league
was represented.
Those present were Andrew Freedman
and Fred NJ Knowles, New York; Harry
Won der Horst Ned Hanlon and Charles ID.
Ebbets. Brooklyn; John /. Rogers and A. J.
Reach, Philadelphia; A. H Soden Boston;
Barney Dreyfuss. Pttsburg; James H. Hart,
Chicago; August Hermann and Max
Fleischmann, Cincinnati, and John T.
Brush.
The magnates talked for four hours and
then adjourned until today.
Brush, as spokesman, said:
Nothing definite has been done. We have
not yet talked the situation over in all it's
phases and therefore there Is nothing to
give out
Asked If any proposition looking to peace
between the two leagues was under discus
sion Brush answered:
mo official proposition for an agreement
has ever been received from the American
League and surely the National Is lot out
looking for peace"
1t was evident that the magnates had con-
cluded to fight it out with the invaders.

MOBILE RECORDS BROKEN.
Young Harvard Student Performs
Notable Automobile Feats.


Worlds records were smashed at Nara
gansett Park. Providence, r. l., yesterday,
and the second annual meeting of the
Rhode Island Automobile Club was a great
success despite execrable weather George
Z. Cannon was the sensation Of the day.
He clinched his title to the steam cham
pionship of the world by driving the famous
car Of his own construction in 105A. the
fastest mile ever made over the Narragan-
sett Park track. The previous worlds rec
ord was LOT 2-5, held by Mr.. Cannon him
self
Then. to complete his fame the young
Harvard student set a new worlds record
FOR steam cars for five miles at eos fiat,
reducing the previous mark from 633 is,
another record of his own His time by
quarters for his worlds record was. 1871,
.33, .49ha. 1.O5A. His five-mile record was
1,12h. 2.26A, 3.41h 454. COS
Alexander Winton and his Bullet were
covered six miles in $50 80 Five miles
were covered in 5.303-5 and the fastest
single mile was LOS 3-5. The slowest of
Wintons first five miles was faster than
any time of F'ournier last year.
The open class for electric carriages. two
miles, was won by knight Neftel in a car
Of his own make. His time was ABB.
Then Alexander Winton and his Bullet"
in the fve-mile race broke the track rec
ord the first time around in 1061a. The
second mile was in 1.05A, the third In
1.O61s, the fourth in 1.06A and the fifth, the
fastest in LOS 3-5

Fred Abbott, who accepted Cincinnati ad-
vance money last spring and then skipped
to New Orleans. will be a Cleveland
catcher next year. The St Louis Nati,aaI
League Club secured the right from Gin
cinnati to treat with Abbott, but the latter
preferred the American League. The Gin
cinnati club may have a deputy sheriff
chasing Abbott next spring If he falls to
return the advance money. If Starnagle
makes good he will be the third Cleveland
catcher next year.
Manager Clingman of the Brewers left
Tor his home in Cincinnati Monday after
noon. Billy did not sign a contract for next
season. which bears out the statement of
few days ago in the Wisconsin that he will
not be here next season. He has other Of
fers from National League and American
League clubs, also the American AsSocia-
ton, but he has done nothing as yet about
1903. His work here has been of the scnsa-
tional order all season, his batting being
most opportune and his base running su-
perb. There were many of the players who
did not run bases at all and many games
were lost in that manner. The fans, how
ever, wish Billy success wherever he may
go. The trouble is that Clingman fields his
position with such ease that hard chances
look soft for him, and unless he does phe-
nomenal work all the while the fans think
there is something wrong. Frank Selee of
Chicago remarked yesterday that there are
many infielders in the National League who
cannot hold candle to Clingman.-Miiwau

BIG TRoTTING PURSES.
Lord Derby Captured $4,000 Prize at
Readvslle

Twenty-one thousand dollars in purses
was offered at Readville, Mass, yesterday.
Lord Derby captured the 10000 purse in
the 2.07 trot, while the other big purse
$4,000. for the New England Futurtty for
foals Of 1899, was won by The Rajah.
There were only four entries in the 2.07
trot. Lord Derby drew the pole. with Chain
Shot next, then Onward Silver and Amelia
outside. Some little difficulty was encoun-
tered in scoring the first heat, Lord Derby
coming down slowly. Finally. the judges
threatened to fine Spear unless he drove
Lord Derby down with the others, and a
good start was made. Lord Derby broke
just after starting and Amelia took the pole
and led all around and finished first, Lord
Derby just escaping the distance flag
In the sesond heat Chain Shot took the
lead, with Amelia second and Lord Derby
far behind at the half, but here the latter
began to assert his rights and rapidly over
hauled the field, beating Chain Shot by a
head. In the third and fourth heats Lord
Derby outclassed thesothers and won easily.
The New England Futurity stake brought
out six starters. The bay horse Direct
View went away from the others in
the first heat and won in 2.16h. but
went up in the abr in each of the two sue
ceeding heats, which were both won by The
Rajah in slower time than the first heat.

Quite n Number Who Have ReIin-
Quished the Gun and Taken
Up the Camera

In a recent book a hunter tell
how he spent many weary months
in the attempt to shoot an eagle, and
at last aabushed so successfully
that he actually touched the bird
with his fingers. Having got so far
he was content and let the eagle &C
free. II may be hunters tale; but
there are at present a very consid-
cradle number of sportsmen who are
a great deal keener TO see their
game at close quarters than TO kill
II, says the London Globe. Instead
Of the old phrase: Let us 60 and
Kill something" the hunter now
says: Let us 60 and focus some
thing" The camera has supplanted
the gun. There are now made all
manner of devices, more ingenious
and intricate even than the older
trappers devised, for getting the
camera to bear on unsuspecting ami
mails. A boat, resembling a little the
duck shooting boats used on the
Irish coast, has Deen devised, which
is propelled without oars or sails,
and has a beautiful Photographic
apparatus rugged up in the bows.
There are other not less clever
means for approaching and photo
deer in their native haunts
and they have been used with alto
gether remarkable success. HUI
are already pointing out
that this sport with the camera
gives all the excitement Of the chase
without any of the cruelty; and at
least this much may be conceded,
that the difficulties Of pilot graph

greater and therefore more attract
