Mr.. Burris and his associates have

that source of fuel in the Indiana field
has driven the proprietors to look for

to entertain a proposition from this
city. They will build what is called a

operation will employ IS skilled men,
each at salary of 50 a day. This will
make q monthly payroll of 1000. The

they expressed their entire satisfaction.
The Commercial club in its turn will
now do a little investigating and will

SPORTING NEWS.
Major Delmar La Undisputed
Champion TrOttsr.
Recent Performances Make
Him Hold All Records.
THREE CHOICE MARKS.
Wonderful Event Was His Mile
to Old Fashioned Cart.
Would DO Little on the Track
Under Saddle.

| Memphis Tenn, Nov. with more
Iaurels attached to his 1904 record than
has ever been gathered by one trotter
| in solitary season, Major Delmar, f.
E. Smathers' new king of the trotting
world, has been shipped to New York
| to rest at least for another year before
being asked for another brilliant test of
his wonderful speed. Four times dur
ing his brief but brilliant attack on the
trotting mark did the $4,000 gelding
equal Cresceus' worlds record mile of
2:02H, made without the aid of runner
in 'front.' and on two occasions Major
Delmar clipped fractions off that per-
Torrance, finally closing his season with
mark of 2:01A, thereby reducing the
best previous time by a full second.
With every record in his possession ex-
cept the mark for trotters with runner
OF pacemaker in advance, and with
credit of q victory over his own rival
in the trotting world, Lou Dillon, Mr..
Smathers expressed himself as fully
satisfied for having paid out what some
people regarded as a ridiculously high
price for a geld1ng.
Major Delmar's campaign started late
in the summer He performed in a dis
appointing manner on but one occasion
during his time attacks. and that hap
pened in his last scheduled attempt over
the local track, when he was called on
Donald, over the course in an effort to
reduce the worlds mile record for trot-
ters under saddle Major Delmar sulk-
ed and behaved in such a manner that
Mcdonald was forced to dismount, and
the great gelding was led to his barn
to wait another year before he will be
trained especially for this style record.
BY breaking Maud SIS time-honored
mile to high-wheel suIky of 2:0Saz, made
over the Chenille course in 1885, Major
Delmar succeeded in doing what many
trotters of both sexes have failed to do.
He pulled the old-fashioned high-wheel,
nonball- bearing, plain aXled cart around
the local oval, unaided by pace or run
ner or shield, and finished stout and
strong in 2:07. With this record added
to his list the Major goes into winter
quarters with three of the choicest
marks of the harness world. His
mark of a mile in 1884, made during
the 1908 Memphis meeting, still stands
as worlds record for gelding trotters,
with runner in front, and is the second
fastest mile ever made by a trotter I'M
der any conditions, Lou Dillon's mile
in 1:5S19 being the only faster mile.
The complete record made by Major
Delmar. compiled for the first time,
showing his wonderful list of even miles
and the tracks on which they were
made follows.

McGINNITY COMPLAINS.
Insists That He Will Pitch Ball for
Los Angeles.

Los Angeles.
| New York, Nov Pitcher McGin-
nity's annual threats to quit baseball
on account of the injustices done him
by the New York National league have
come to be regarded as amusing bluffs
by baseball men, and the opinion is
growing that the star twirler of the
Giants is afflicted by hak band too
tight for him. His latest complaint
that he is being robbed of the chance
to make $4,000 during the winter by
pitching for one of the Pacific coast
clubs, because of Brush's refusal to
permit him to accept the offer, may
be based on fact, but it does not
show McGinnity up as a particularly
S'quick thinker" There is nothing in
baseball law or any other law to pre-
vent McGinnity accepting an offer to
pitch for the Los Angeles club if he
wants to. The New York club has no
moral or legal right to control the acts
of any player after the expiration of
his 1904 contract on October Is and be-
fore the beginning of his 1905 contract
on April Is.
Knowing this, and that he would
take chances of impairing his value,
McGinnity doubtless had no idea of ac-
cepting the Los Angeles offer, but is
using it simply to make his annual
complaint over the injustice he imag
ines he suffers in being compelled to
pitch baseball for New York at a sal
airy in excess of that usually paid an
iron molder.
