Although racing war has been prom

Although the subject has been sedulously
avoided by directors Of the new track.
their remark that they would fight and
carry the war into the enemy's country"
can be interpreted as hint Of trouble for
the Chicago tracks.
Chicago courses control the racing sit
uation In the West, although betting on
horse races In Illinois is made Illegal by
the State law. 1t is said that trouble can
readily be stirred up for tracks now oper-
ating around the city by the lake. and the

to be significant Of what can be aroused

JACK O'CONNOR IN DENVER.
Brother Says 1.-THE King" May Have
Interest In Western League.

Color is lent to the report that king"
Jack OConnor may become part owner of
the Denver franchise by the latter's pres
ence in that city.
Two weeks ago Jack. with his wife, de-
parted for Denver. The ostensible purpose
was to attend the marriage of Mrs.
O'Connor's sister.
1t is said. however, that OConnor went
there for the direct purpose of making an
offer for the Denver franchise.
At the st. Louis American League Club
office yesterday, Sidney Mercer. who Is In
charge there, said h, knew nothing about
O'Connor's probable purchase Of the Den
yer franchise.
Il hardly think II would pay jack to
invest in a Western League franchise"
said Mercer.
I'm the first place it would require con-
siderable capital to get the franchise. and
do not think O'Connor would be foolish
enough to invest his savings in an uncer-
tain investment.
Denver we will lose valuable player. but
the St. Louis American League Club Is not
in the habit of jumping across bridges
before it reaches them"
Jack O'Connor's brother. Mike, thinks
there Is some truth in the story. He says
that his brother has been contemplating
such move for some time.
