The Gait Bud Doble Thinks Lou
Dillon Can Go.

San Francisco, Dec. ST am con-
fident that Lou Dillon will trot mile
in LBS next year. said Budd Doble,
the famous reinsman, who has just re-
turned from a memorable campaign
through the Grand Circuit Lou Dill
Ion is unquestionably the grandest trot-
ter that America has yet produced, .
continued Dobie.
Like Goldsmith Maid, she is a bit
on the small order, and probably does
not weigh more than $50 pounds. She
is a bunch of nerves and has a Won
derful stride when going at her fastest.
There is no telling where Lou Dillon
will leave the mark, as she has not
reached the limit of her speed by any
means. I was one of the timers at
Memphis when she trotted in 1:58A,
and every watch in the timers stand
registered the same time"
Doble had a phenomenaily successful
season after such a long retirement.
He won $4,000 with Kinney Lou, whom
he gave a mark of ~2:e73z, which is
quite a feat, especially as Kinney Lou
was practically green shorse. At the
Empire track Kinney Lou won the
$4,000 purse, beating a big field, which
included John Taylor and Jay Nc
Gregor Kinney Lou is now doniciled
at Oakland. Doble says that the Grand
Circuit meeting this year was a record
breaker in every respect. Money was
very plentiful, While the attendance
was uniformly good,
Doble also brings word that Monroe
Salisbury will remain in New York
until after the big sale, when he will
bring the pick of the Butler horses to
Pleasanton. According to Dob1e, The
Roamn should be a better horse next
year than ever before. as the accident
set the Mckinney trotter back more
than is generally supposed.

$4,000 for Player

Lexington, KY, Dec. .5.-The Ken
lucky fall sales of the Fasig-Tipton
company in this city came to a close
Friday. The attendance was much the
same and at time the bidding took a
jump and became interesting. The
feature was the sale of the Haggin
yearlings from Elmendorf, although but
modern prices ruled throughout. Among
the most liberal of the buyers was JOS
eph w. Pugh, of Covington, KY, who
ranked in the best of the offerings.
There was nothing sensational. All
told there were go head sold for a total
of $21,145, or an average Of $229.22 per
head. The total sales for the week
were go head, which sold for ZIG, or
an average of S284.31.
The star sale of the day was of a
chestnut colt from the Haggin con-
signment by Ben Holiday, dam Himy-
ance, by Imp. Pirate of Penzance. and
which was sold to Joseph w. Pugh, OF
Covington, for $3.50. John B. Ewing
gave $1,000 for a brown FLY by Imp.
Wagner, dam Matte T, by Imp. Billet,
and while some of the other sales went
way up in the three figures these are
all that went over the thousand dollar
mark.

Detroit After Star PLAYERS.

Detroit, Mich, Dec. 5.-President S.
F. Angus, of the Detroit baseball club,
started out today to show Pittsburg
baseball people just how to handle
money when it comes to a question of
bidding for star baseball players.
Through Manager Barrow the head of
the club made an offer of $4,000 in
cash for the release of Hans Wagner
and Tommy Leach, shortstop and third
baseman respectively for Pittsburg, or
$40. 600 cash for either man. The offer
is in reply to that reported earlier
from Pittsburg of $500 for Wild Bill
Donovan, and is expected to check any
more sales talk from Smokeville.

The reorganization meeting Of the De-

will be held shortly and Angus will be
elected as its head.
Joe Tinker, shortstop OF the Chicagos,
seems to be d fine talker for the inter-
viewer. He has just given out another

Hanlon's dream that he would have
Doc Newton with him again next season
proves to be nightmare, as the long
physician has signed with Los Angeles

According to the Pittsburg Dispatch,
Arthur Hildebrand, the famous Prince

1ngtons next year. Instead he may be
with the Pirates, as President Dreyfuss
has opened negotiations for him.

The Washington Ball Deal.

Chicago, Dec 5.-Ban johnson of the
American 1eage has gone to Washing
of the Washington club to new own
ers. That he expected to close the ne
gotiations in Washington on the trip
Mr.. johnson denied. He admitted his
visit had to do with that matter, but
said there could be no definite develop
ments until the annual meeting of the
American league later in the month.
It is believed that the deal with the
new hackers in Washington has pro-
crossed to the point where it can be
closed in a short time, but it can not
be actually closed until the American
league has voted it's approval.
