Partisans Of the New Orleans Jockey
Club intimate that streets may be run

club monopoly of the sport there.
An effort will be made at the forthcoming
session of the Missouri legislature to create
state racing commission upon the same
lines as that now existing In New York.
This bill will check the power Of the pres

Many Managers Present.

In the expectation that some deals for
players might be brought of several man.
ayers are at the meeting. These include
Duffy of the Phillies. Nichols Of st. Louis
Kelly of Cincinnati. Clarke of Pittsburg and
Hanlon of Brooklyn. Thus five of the clubs
at present with managers under contra CT
are represented at the session. AS yet Bos-
ton Is on the lookout for some one to han
die it's team. With so many managers on
hand 1t would not be surprising If a couple
Of deals go through. especially as Fred
Clarke admits that First Baseman Brans-
field of Pittsburg, Is on the market.
President Hermann of Cincinnati also
announced that his club has $50 600 to pay
out for star players.
Jack Dunn, the Phillies' former pitcher,
who managed the Giants in their barn
New Jersey last fall, was on hand. Jack Is
trying to get the Giants together for a tour
of Cuba this winter. 1t Is probable that the
players will leave New York in January and
return the latter part of February.
Today the question of rule changes and
the schedule for 1905 will be discussed. It
is not likely that any radical changes will
be made in the playing rules. although
something may be done to make the batting
better, or rather the pitchers less effective.
AS regards the schedule the club owners
are saying little. Many. however, want a
return to the old schedule of 14O champion
games for each club instead of 154 as last
season. With 14O games the season could
be wound up the latter part of September.
thus permitting of series between the
champion teams of the two major leagues
for the worlds championship as well as post
season series between other clubs OF the Or
plantations. This question, however, may
be shelved for the present by referring 1t
to the schedule committee, which will hold
a meeting with the Americans schedule

New Orleans Both were heavily backed
choices. and neither had any trouble In
bringing the money home. Telescopes race
was the best from time point OF view. ana
behind him finished several OF the fastest
sprinters at the track.
The stable put up Jockey Paul on Rams
Horn. with the expectation that good
price would be laid. but the bookies failed
to fall into the trap, and at all times held
him at odds on. Paul succeeded in getting
cut off twice In the first half mile, and in
the stretch was crowded into the heavy
going. The fight for the place between
SAVIOR Faire and Pawtucket. both well
played, was exciting, the two running head
and head the entire length OF the stretch

spectators to be good neck back OF Lamp

prevail went up. 1t was another case Of de-
ceptive angle. and was only one Of many
such Instances that have occurred at this
track.
The first race furnished quite a surprise
to the betting men. Birch Rod. belonging
to Doc Street. looked SO much the best on

taken by those with large bank rolls. The
winner, however. turned up in HalEim,
whose post price was 30 to I. Hakim se-
cured the best Of the going early In the
race, and was never In trouble. although he
was sent to mild drive on the end to ward

Base Ball Notes.

Mike Kahoe declares that he never was
approached regarding the management of
the Indianapolis team. He expects to re-
main In the big league next season.
Ed. Barrows, who managed Detroit for a
season or more, has acquired an interest In
the indianapolis team and will manage the
Hoosiers next season.
Fred. Tenney still Is waiting anxiously to
be called to the management of the Boston
Nationals. Buckenberger's successor has
not yet been appointed.
Jack Carney, formerly first baseman of
Kelly's Killers. has shaken the dust of the
New England League from his feet and
will manage the Sioux City team next sea-
son.
1t is hardly likely that Billy Keller and
Jack Chesbro will be engaged to coach the
Harvard team in the spring. There Is a
strong suspicion that these two Highland
ers were responsible for Walter Clarkson
turning professional before his term as an
amateur was up.
The short playing season is meeting with
general favor, and unless the National
League takes the bull by the horns again it
is likely that the old common-sense limit
will be restored. which means an opening
around April q and the closing during the
last part OF September. Interest is about
dead after September Is in all but the few
cities with pennant chance.
j. 8. Neuer of Pottsville Pa who last
year pitched for Cleveland of the American
League, has signed to play next season with
Detroit of the same league. He is left
handler, and last year lost but six out of a
total of fifty-three games which he played.
Neuer Is employed on the Pennsylvania
railroad as e fireman during the winter.
The fact that 30 little conclusive legisla-
ton can be achievedsat this meeting of the
American League accentuates the necessity
for the two major leagues holding their an
nual and spring meetings at the same time

Betting on Britt-Nelson Fight.

A special from San Francisco says that
betting men are already figuring on the
Brftt-Nelson fight.
1t is the consensus of opinion that the
Britt-Gans affair and the Neison-C orbett
fight must be left out of the calculations.
From Cans own statements he did not
show his true form. whatever it might have
been. Young Corbett was not In condition,
although he did make himself and his
friends believe he was on thee.eye of the
battle. Nelson is such a Flooding fighter
that he does not show the class that Britt
and others show. If he can win from Britt
1t will demonstrate how deceptive appear
ances are, as the Californian has all the
dash and brilliancy of a most finished
boxer.
Betting is expected to open about 10 to =,
with Britt the favorite. The odds are not
expected to go lower than 10 to Z.

A FORTUNE.
Family of G. Burgess Of Chamberlain.
Remembered by Uncle.

Chamberlain. S. D.. Jan. Sc. Bur-
CESS. owner of the Chamberlain Steam
laundry. received word las night from
Chicago tina his three children had
each fallen heir t a comfortable for
tune. The information was received
direct from the probate court, and is
therefore authentic. The dead relative.
to whom the Burgess children are in
debted for the sudden turn in their af-
fairs. was an uncle. Martin O'Connor.
who died in Chicago four years ago.
Just why 1t should be -four years be-
fore they should get word of their for
tune. the family is unable to figure out.
However. the u has notified them
they will be paid by the 25th Of next
month. Mr.. Burgess estimates that
his w daughters. aged 20 and Is a
respectively. and "a boy Is years of age,
will each receive about $3.50 900.
Mr.. Burgess is owner of the steam
laundry of this city and Is in moderate
circumstances. He has for the past
three months. together with his chill
dren n five others. been running the
laundry and doing well. Their good
fortune has apparently not affected
them any and early this morning all
were at their station at the laundry at
e e usual hour.
