the great horse Is the elimination of long

great handicaps throughout the country In
his name without complying with the rule
in regard to registration of partnerships.

printed In the Racing Calendar, the official

a protest with the governing turf authori-
ties of the east against such permission be-

Shields bases his objection on the ground
that he owns more than half interest IN

is that besides an equal interest in the horse
he has an additional claim of 10 per cent In

ZIMMER's LOYALTY.
How the Big Catcher Earned Dreyfus'
Generosity

By the appointment of Chief thinner
of the Pittsburg Club to be field manager
Of the rejuvenated Phillies, hangs one Of
the prettiest stories that ever developed in
base ball. His appointment Is a reward
for bravery under fire. He goes to one of
the incest positions in the base ball world
at a salary of about 5000 year. It was
last fall when the members Of the cham
pions were approached by Ban Johnson Of
the American League, and when some of
them succumbed to the offers made them
thinner heard of the outbreak and hunted
up Dreyfus.
IT hear some of the boys have gone,
Barney said thinner.
I'm afraid So" said Barney, who was
very much in the air at that time. thinner
drummed on the table. He had not intend
ed to play ball this season and had said
SO to Dreyfus before there were rumors
Of revolt. thinner finally spoke.
II believe that / told you that l did not
intend to play ball next season. that I in
tended to devote my time to my business
in Cleveland"
Eyes. that's so. Charlie" replied Dreyfus
thinner is going to stick by Pittsburg as
long as Pittsburg has button left" said
the big chief, smashing his fist on the
table.
Dreyfus could not have been surprised
more If the old fellow had pulled out a
scalping knife. He stared at the big fellow
who pounded the table again and Said
Make me out a contract now If you want
me-"
Dreyfus reached for his pad of contracts
and showed 1t to thinner. telling him to
make out his own contract, and he, Drey-
fus. would sign it. thinner pushed 1t back
and said:
mo you make 1t out at the old salary
but put In clause that I shall not be
forced to play ball the next year, but that
1 shall be subject to call by Pittsburg for
life. That I agree not to play ball for any
other club but Pittsburg during the rest of
my natural life.
81 don't want to play any more. but
want to show some of the young people
who are leaving a good berth that the old
chief stands by the people who stood by
him.
Dreyfus wrote hurriedly for minute and
passed the contract over to thinner to sign.
The old war horse glanced over the paper.
you've raised the salary $500 year,
Barney" he said.
Yes /, too. appreciate a white man."

NEW ORLEANS RACES.
Robertson,s Entries to Be Refused in
Future.

James Robertson is the latest owner to
come under the lash of the New Orleans
Jockey Club stewards. Immediately after
the last race yesterday afternoon the off,
Gals sent an order to Secretary Clark to
refuse in the future all entries made by
Robertson.
Rosanco, winner of the fourth race, was
responsible for this action. His inconsistent
running was the basis of the trouble. He is
the most fragrant GRANDMOTHER at the
track In his previous race he was beaten
many lengths. Yesterday. with big odds
against him, he possessed great speed and
defeated the crack sprinter Censor in a
gallop.
Because of his remarkable change in form
and his total lack Of speed on various occa-
sions when he was at short odds the stew
ards decided that his presence was more
harmful than beneficial to the course and
issued the command to bar him in the fu-
ture.

judges placed Bondage first. Safe Guard

ALUMINIUM FOR DECK.
Part Of Cup Defender to Be of the
Light Metal.

1t was learned last night at Bristol, r. l.,
that Capt. MAT" Herreshoff is to add an
other feature to the construction Of the
new cup yacht. He will give the boat an
aluminium deck, and the work Of laying
some of the plates was begun yesterday.
This new departure was carefully guarded
and the aluminium, which arrived some
weeks ago in closely covered cases. came
with consignment Of nickel steel plates
and was supposed to be part of a shipment
of that metal The aluminium plates are a
trifie less than three-sixteenths Of an inch
thick. and after the metal Is laid 1t win be
covered with a specially made linoleum.
having cork face, to afford q good foot
hold for the crew..
Aluminium, Of course, Is not q durable
metal, and its tensile strength Is compare
lively small, yet its light weight Is a re-
deeming feature in yacht construction.
That aluminium Is to be used for the deck
instead Of nickel steel. and that nickel
steel Is to be used in plating the sheer
strake instead of Tobin bronze, indicate
that while much larger boat in every
way than either the Columbia or the Con-
stitution has been planned it Is intended to
cut down weight at the top of the hull, so
greater sail carrying power the wetted
surface will not be noticeably increased.
Aluminium has not been used on a cup
yacht since 1895, when the top sides of the
Defender were plated with 1t. It was
found at that time that the life of the
metal was practically but one season. as
the combination Of salt water and the steel
frames set up a galvanic action which al
most totally destroyed the plates and made
it necessary to renew many of them when
the boat was used as trial horse for the
Columbia. Speed and not durability. how
ever, Is what Is desired for a modern cup
boat, and there is no doubt that Capt
NAT" will save tons of weight by the
change of metals on the deck and for the
top strake, thus adding to the buoyancy Of
the craft.

game on Franklin field. Philadelphia, We'd
nesday April %. Manager S. L. Irving of
Pennsylvania has announced that George
town had accepted the date and final ar
rangements for the game were completed
today. There will be no return game.
Georgetown wanted Pennsylvania to play
in this city. but the Quakers declined and
gave the Washington team the choice Of
two dates for Franklin field, April % and
May 6. As it is now scheduled the George
town game will come between the two Yale
games and during one of the hardest ten
days Of the Pennsylvania schedule.
Because of the alleged questionable eligi-
bility of some Of the Georgetown players
the Quaker management early in the season
announced that the blue and gray team had
been dropped from the red and blue sched-
ule, along with Holy Cross, Fordham and
Manhattan. A short time following the
announcement the Georgetown base ball
manager went to Philadelphia and as
sured DIR. Edgar F. Smith, chairman of
Pennsylvania faculty committee, that
Georgetown had revised her eligibility code
to make 1t conform to the recognized col
lege standard On this assurance the facu1-
'ty committee reconsidered its action and
authorized Manager Irving to arrange a
game IL satisfactory date could be agreed
upon. /

figures presented by the tables and

priations of the session Just ended,
over those of the last. In concluding
his statement Mr.. Cannon says:
THE Republican administration Of
our government. the dominion OF Re-
publican policies in both branches OF
Congress since 1897. has given us n
system of taxation that has produced
a national treasury richer than was
ever enjoyed by any nation OF the
earth and rendered possible these great
expenditures for the public welfare
Mr.. Livingston compares the appro-
priations made by the Fifty-third Con-
gress. both branches OF which were
controlled by the Democrats. amount
ing to S9S9. .239 .2O5. with the appropria-
tions of the Fifty-scventh Congress,
aggregating 54,1Os,514. and COM
,nents on the difference as affecting
some of the big items. In conclusion
he says:
Nothing short of a revision of the
tariff on revenue basis and the ad-
ministration of the government under
the wise and prudent methods of the
Democratic party can be looked to
bring about reduction in the national
expenditures. exhibited by these fig
ures in such appalling proportions"
