Here Have Departed.

Here Have Departed.
The last of the horses and horsemen
that will not spend the winter at the
Savannah track left yesterday for
various parts of the country. Fred
Kraft was among those who left, car
rying his string to st. Louis. He also
carried along two of Jim Hands fast
sprinters, who will be taken out to
Kraft's home in Iowa for the win
ter.
All of the horsemen now quartered
at the track have made final prepare
tions for the winter. All of the stalls
have been comfortably fitted up for the
horses, rooms provided for jockeys and
exercise boys, and everything is in ship
shape for the cold weather. The track
is being kept in condition so that the
horses can be worked, and all will be
kept in racing condition so that in the

TOMMY C0RCORAN
NO MORE IN THE RING
Broke His Ankle While mt Work on
Baltimore WharveH.

Broke His Ankle While at Work ON
Baltimore Wharves.
Tom Corcoran, the well-known pu-
gilist, was the victim of painful ac-
cident yesterday morning which will
probably incapacitate him from fur
Their engaging his skill in the fstic
arena. He was at work as a stevedore
at the Baltimore wharf and was SUI
perintending the loading of one of the
steamships of the Merchants and Min
ers Transportation Company when a
heavy piece of timber fell upon his leg
breaking his right ankle.
Corcoran was carried to ST. Joseph's
Hospital in an ambulance. Upon ex-
animation the hospital surgeons found
that the accident had produced a
compound fracture of the ankle His
leg was otherwise badly bruised.
1t is probable that after the fracture
heals Corcoran will be permanently
handicapped by the shortening of his
left leg, which will prohibit him from
further engaging in the pugilistic
.nGame.
