in ball playing. Gallupe. it is said
once refused to play with the Pitts
burgs. George Peters carried water
for the st. Joe team and there are
others with records. Frank Haskell
says should he enter and decide to
play there would hardly be any use
for the Eagles to enter the game.
Altogether it is an aggregation
that should present fine game of

A Sad Case.

Mrs Elsie "Scotty" McLauren,
was brought before Justice Byers this
morning. A spectacle such as might
have invited the tears and pity Of
some of those who have been in the
moral crusade, was presented by this
gray haired woman. AS she sat in
her chair. her hands nervously fi-ger-
ing an old shawl, she revealed traces
of better time in life. than she was
then enjoying. The result of her
debauch, with the wife of Mike Cost
enzo was most apparent. She plead
guilty to the charge of being drunk
and disorderly. Justice Byers fined
her $40 and costs and then entered
another complaint against the won
an for carrying whisky to other wom-
en- and of harboring drunk and dis
orderly characters.
Iu fininZ her for this large charge,
which was S25 and costs Justice
Byers stated that he would suspend
sentence and give her an opportunity
to get out of town. This. with big
tears in her eyes she promised TO do
by Saturday.
The woman has been harboring
men at her place ON the alley below
Main street, between Third and
Fourth streets.

JOHNSON TO CLOSE DEAL
FOR WASHINGTON CLUB.

Washington, Feb. 20.-Ban B. John
son, president of the American League.
is in Washington to close the deal for
the sale of the local baseball club.
During the afternoon and evening Mr..
Johnson met two rival parties bidding
for the club, but late last night the
league executive announced that the
negotiations were still pending and
may not be closed for a day or two.
He discredited the report that the ne
gotlauons were so nearly closed that
no others would be considered, and
the result of the conference last night
seemed to indicate that the deal is
vet an open question.
The names of the new parties dick
ering for the club were not divulged
by Mr.. Johnson. He asserted how
ever, that they had the money to pay
down and their offer was most at
tractive, but a point or two was
brought up that will require further
consideration. 1t is understood that
all the bidders will be given hearings
in the matter to-day and the best
proposition will certainly be accepted
before Mr.. Johnson leaves the city,
which will probably be Saturday
In regard to the Sunday baseball
question in New York, which has COM
manded lots of attention lately, Mr.
Johnson said that both sides to the
controversy would again meet the ma
tional commission, after which Presi-
dent Hermann will render his deci-
sion. Then the schedule arrangement
will be taken UP by the committees
appointed by both leagues and it is ex-
pected there will be little difficulty in
reaching an aanicable agreement.

Marvin Dickinson, coach of the Uni

arrive in Athens tomorrow and the
training of the team will begin at once.
There are more candidates for posi-

1t was thought few months ago
that the position of catcher would be
the weak spot of the team, but it now
develops that there are six candidates,
Carlos Cobb, Ralph Hodson and Eu-

Head of Tallapoosa and Blackshear of
Dublin. Cobb, Head and Griffin are
the most prominent candidates.
Georgia will be amply supplied with

BUSY TIME FOR TRAINERS.
HALF BROTHER TO GRAND OPERA
PLEASES HORSEMEN THERE.

The Lenten Season Has Not Meant a
Let-Up lin Work ON the Part of the
Horsemen--MOre Than Two Hum
dred Youngsters at Montgomery
, Park Who VIII BE SchOOIed at the
Barrier for the Next Few Weeks.
Trainers Have Commenced Weed
ing Out.
Memphis, Tenn, Feb. 20.-The COM
mencement of the Lenten season means
anything but saclScloth and ashes for
trainers with thoroughbreds being pre-
pared for the forthcoming struggle at
Montgomery Park. The time has Ar
rived when owners and those in charge
of many racing establishments that
will begin competition early in the
season must hustle their charges
along. There are more all aged horses
here than in former seasons, while the
3-year-old, or Derby division, and the
2-year-old brigade outnumber by al
most double, any previous horse coll
ony quartered here at this time Of
year.
AS usual at this time of year, inter
| est centers mainly in the baby racers.
There are over 200 juvenile colts, fill
| lies or geldings at the course, and a
great majority are being pointed for
| the early turf plums. Some will go
| East and the bulk will remain in the
West for competition.
Thus far no one has ventured an
| opinion as to the colt or filly entitled
| to prior mention in the daily speed
trials. The weather has been uniform
ly mild during the entire winter, which
has enabled trainers to get full OPP
portunity to weed out their good stock
| from the younsters found to be too
| slow, and as a result there are a half
| hundred head already disposed of by
| the biggest racing firms to owners with
| lesser pretensions
Schorr Lot Weeded Out.
| J. w. Schorr was first to weed out
| his kindergarten colony. Included in
the bunch he rid himself of were ten
youngsters, some of his own breeding,
being sired by Lieber Karl, winner of
the 1898 Tennessee Derby. There are
exactly nineteen 2-year-olds at present
being tutored by Joe Hawkins, and uni
versal opinion seems to be here that
Schorr will again show many winners
among them. He has been asked to
set prices on several youngsters recent
~, and prices above the $1,000 mark
are known to have been refused for
/ some.
There is a half-brother to Grand
/ Opera in Schorr's barn that is especial
ly fancied. This colt has been named
Jack Lory, and is by Top Gallant
Bonnie Bird. Vidalia, the smallest
member of the entire Schorr juvenile
string, has shown as much speed as
any of his larger stable-mates, and it
| is doubted in local circles whether $10,-
900 would buy this youngster, although
he is the least expensive of all of
Schorr's investments, representing a
cost of only $3.50. Vidalia is by Mince-
meat, his dam being an English mare,
Richmond Hill.
| Two-year-o that first received their
racing lessons at the local course have
been peculiarly fortunate in past con-
fiicts. Clifford graduated from Mont
gomery Park after fast preliminary
trials over the short incline which has
! become famous as the Montgomery

| composing the track proper is thought
| to aid a young horse in building mus

Gle, and trials over the course are re-
garded as sure proof of stamina If a
colt or filly stands up under the test.
In addition to Clifford, Hamburg,
Rowland, Endurance by Right, Orna-
ment Algol, Typhoon IL, Abe Frank,
May Hampstead, Prince of Melbourne,
McMeelxin, Meadowthorpe and others
received their first trials here, which
led to the discovery of their phenom-
email speed or staying powers. while
last years output of winning juve-
niles included the champion Of the year,
Highball, also Pulsus, Wotan, Sweet
Gretchen, Moharib. Flo Bob and many
others.
Youngsters Are SchoOIed.
The schooling of the youngsters from
the barrier has commenced, and Can't
Brown has been represented by big
bunch each day. John Bright, who
trains the string formerly owned by
George Gardner, the pugilist is ham
ding the barrier. Several sets were
tried from the Brown barn by Trainer
Robert Tucker. Druid, by Sir Dixon
Meriden; Thirty-third, by Sir Dixon
High Degree; Maynard Lass, a filly
by Sir Dixon-Lady Maynard, and
Brushton, by Ben Brush-Clarissa,
were in a bunch that Were tried over
a three-eighths course after breaking
fiatfooted from the barrier, but little
speed was attempted after the first
quarter was negotiated.
C. r. Ellison has thirteen 2-year-
olds, and all of them are being trained
by John Brazier. Miss Inez, an appro-
priately named daughter of imported
Pirate of Penzance-Lady Inez, has
been noticed leading the Ellison bunch
in almost every finish of the break
Always from the haic mile pole. Eli
son also has a half brother to Sam
Hildreth's colt, Henry Mcdaniel,
which has been named John Smuls<i.
This colt is regarded as one of the
most promising 2-year-olds in local
training. Swedish Lad, by King Eric
Princess Revenue, a half brother to
Mrs. Frank Foster; Pawtucket, by
imported Esher-Aunt Jennie, and
RathskelIer are other members of the
Ellison baby bunch that may be heard
from in the races UP country.
