MEMPHIS, Dec. 21.-"Members of the
Bonner estate have offered for years 5000
for any driver that broke Maud SIS record
/ broke Ii fair with Lou Dillon, but have
never seen the color of the money that the
Boomers have promised. Now If they mean
business about that 5000 offer let them
offer 1t in earnest and I'll bet them or any
one else that 1 can take the same sulky
that Maud s. pulled-and it is still in good
order-and drive Lou Dillon in less than
2:05 over the Chenille track, which was the
track both records were made over"
This is the def given out this morning
by Willard Saunders, tutor and driver of
Lou Dillon. and the man who is responsible
more than any other for the records held
by the queen of trotters, when he heard of
the action of members of the estate Of the
late Robert Bonner in protesting to the
American Trotting Register Association
against the acceptance of Lou Dillon's
high wheel sulky record of 2:O5. which sup
planted the 20s% mark MADE back in the

loud and long and then grew serious.

Tommy Waugh. Lou billions constant

the impression that Lou Dillon pulled a
ball-bearing sulky at Cleveland. But"
added Waugh. Maud S. did the same"
1t Is understood that the Bonners will
make stiff fight with the American Trot-
ting Association against the acceptance of
Lou Dillon's high-wheel sulky record on
the grounds that the sulky pulled by Lou
Dillon was provided with ball-bearing
hubs. thereby making the vehicle much less
difficult to pull. also that the runner which

ST. LOUIS WILL WIN

Louis Heilbroner, former secretary Of

in the city yesterday visiting friends. Mr..
Heilbroner takes little stock in the stories

What the National League should do. -

st. Louis team. In view of the fact that
there will be hundreds of thousands Of visit
ors to ST. Louis next year during the

of the best in baseball history and / hope
that the St. Louis National League club
will be very successful"

PULLIAM HITS At
AMERICAN LEAGUE

PITTSBURG, Pa, Dec. H.-President
Harry Pulliam, of the National League
stopped off here on his way to spend the
holidays at Nashville.
Speaking of the stand Of the American
League in condemning the foul strike rule.
Pulliam says that the action was both
inconsistent and foolish. as there Is not a
chance in the world Of the rule being done
away with.
THE foul strike rule is a part of the
National agreement, and the Americans
might just as we'll think of violating any
other section of the agreement as that one,"
he said. 1.-The foul strike rule is here to
stay. and to abolish it would be a back
ward STEP.
During the past year Pulliam says the
National League paid off 1872 900 of it's in
debtedness, which has been hanging over 1T
for some years as a result of the reduction
of the circuit from twelve to eight clubs.
