HANDSOME PURSES.
$50, 900 Stake for Trotters to Be Hung
Up by Metropolitan Tracks.

1t was learned yesterday that the manage
ment of the grand circuit trotting meetings
in August, at Empire City and Brighton
Beach. N. Y, tracks, contemplates offering
$50. 900 for stake race for 215 trotters at
each track. which is the largest twin stake
ever offered for trotters In this country.
Horsemen throughout the country have
been notified of the plan, and the New York
trotting promoters only await assurances
that enough good horses are in training to
guarantee a contest commensurate with the
stakes offered
Since the publication of the big list of
early closing entries received for the meet
ings at the Brighton Beach and Empire
City tracks. several prominent horsemen
have expressed the wish that instead of the
regular s., 900 purses some bigger stakes
had been offered.
President Butler and his associates have
so much faith in trotting in New York that
both the Empire City Trotting Club and
the New York Trotting Association are go
ing to give the big purses, provided a suf-
ing to make a race.
Racing stables have been requested to
write to Alfred Reeves, the secretary, stat
ing whether they prefer a $4,000 purse or
a $4,000 purse at each place, and the mat
ter will be decided when these replies are
received.
Two stakes for 215 trotters at $4,000
EACH would add $4,000 to the present Of
ferfng of $4,000 made by the tracks, and,
with the additional purse races that close
two weeks before the August meetings,
would make at least 100000 in prize money
for light-harness competition in the me-
trOoolis.

MORE ABOUT DONOVAN.
st. Louis Magnate Says Players Salary
Will Be Arranged Nicely.

A special from Chicago says that before
he left last night President Hermann of
the Cincinnati club and chairman of
the national commission, took occasion to
DEFEND the ruling of the commission in the
Donovan case, which has been criticised as
setting bad precedent for future cases of
the kind, WHICH may involve both leagues
In difficulties In case two clubs might de-
sire to consolidate and could get rid of their
surplus players by refusing to pay them for
the last few weeks of service.
If there are people In base ball who are
CROOKS, perhaps they would take advantage
mentioned" said Mr.. Hermann but I
can not believe that the men interested in
the national sport are anything but hon.
est men, who would scorn to take such
mean advantage of players. However. no
matter what the future may bring forth, 1t
can only be said that the Donovan case
was decided strictly upon its merits and
according to the rules Of the national
agreement and the laws Of the National
League. 1t simply was a question as to
whe her the st. Louis club owed Donovan
the money as claimed. The evidence, even
to IN acknowledgment by the st. Louis
club, showed that he had not been paid all
the money his contract called for. So there
was nothing left for us to do but to de-
eide the case In his favor.
1t Is not known just what steps Dono-
van will take in the matter. but there Is
every reason to believe that he will sue
for the amount due him, as $3,666 are not
picked up on the street every day. So
far as the st. Louis club franchise be ng
forfeited Is concerned 1t is not likely that
the National League will take any such
action, as that undoubtedly would hurt
the league sorely in st. Louis, where the
Robisons have the upper hand of the Ameri-
can League at present.
special from st. Louis says that the
rumors that have been going the rounds to
the effect that the st. Louis Club would
take the matter of the release of Donovan
by the national commission into the courts
proves to be a canard. President Robson
said yesterday that his club would abide
by the decision. at would be bad form for
me to go to law with the CASE, said Mr..
Robson. latter 1 had agreed to the for
nation of the commission that decided the
case and had promised to stand by its de-
crees. 1 may have my own ideas about the
way the Donovan case was decided, but I
am making no kick nor will 1 make the
slightest objection to Donovan signing
where he pleases.
THE fact that the commission released
him means big loss to me. as 1 was Of
fered So 900 for him last winter by the
Cincinnati Club, and refused to sell. AS
far as the salary which Donovan alleges
is due him is concerned. l am sure that
we can arrange that matter nicely"

CHESS MASTERS TOURNEY.
Lasker and Marshall Are Now Tied for
First Place.

The fourth round of the international
chess masters tournament was played at
the Hotel Rider, at Cambridge Springs, Pa,
yesterday, and at the close of play Lasker
and Marshall had taken the lead over
Janowski and MIeses by half point. AS
Janowski had left his, game against Hodges
unfinished a game which will be surely
won by the Parisia.- when resumed, next
Wednesday, Janowsh is really the leader
He has three straight wins to his credit
and an adjourned game in hand. Mieses
and Teichman now occupy jointly the
fourth and fifth places. while Pillsbury
comes sixth on the list.
In yesterdays play Showalter's fine VIC
tory over the Russian champion, Tschigo-
rim, takes the first place. Fox, too, who
celebrated his birthday. came in for lot
of praise for having made Champion Las
ker look very troubled at one stage of the
game, which, according to the opinion of
many, Fox ought to have won. Napier fell
a prey to the dashing attack Of the English
man, Lawrence. Marshall vanquished
Mieses in fine style, while Hodges put up
an excellent fight against Janowski.
