To Fight Sunday Ball.

New York, Jan. 15.-Sunday baseball
at Ridgewood. L. L, is contemplated
with apprehension by the Brooklyn
club. Were the club to accept the offer
of the American league team of the
dates not used by the Highlanders, it
is believed the seasons loss would be
none the less great. AS the grounds to
be used for Sunday games are situated
in another county from that in which
is located the Brooklyn clubs diamond.
Ebbets and his advisers are inclined to
believe there is little chance to check
the baseball invasion. Nothing can be
found in the National agreement which
applies to the present situation, and
while the move will be fought in the
courts, it is understood the Americans
have the whip hand.

HORSE SALE CONTEMPLATED
R. T. Wilson Gets Option on Four
2-Year-OIds Valued at $4,000.

Memphis, Jan. 15.-The great desire
residents of the east possess for thor
ougHbreds that can win is amply proved
by an option which ]. w. Schorr, the
local racing magnate, has allowed to r.
T Wilson of New York. An agent of
Wilson's recently visited Montgomery
park to purchase juveniles for the next
campaign on New York tracks. He
visited many youngsters and asked for
a price on five unnamed, but highly
tried 2-year- olds in the Schorr barn, but
returned east without buying anything.
Negotiations were renewed this week
by wire for the purchase of the Juveniles
and an option was given which ex-

Saunders. who handles Lou Dillon in
her preliminary work for record trials
against time and who gave the trotting
queen her two-minute record at Read
vile, which was followed by the mile
in 1:5S1z at Memphis. lowering the
much talked about 1894 performance
of Cresceus at Wichita, is not losing
any sleep over the action of the trot-
ting governors in declaring against
Louis high-wheel sulky mark of 2:O5.
which was generally accepted as sup
planting Maud SIS time-honored mile
of 2:08A.
1T will be at least May 1 before we
drive Lou Dillon to mile in as good
as 2:2O'' said Saunders. 81 believe that
the world is fully convinced that the
trotting fathers made a mistake in de-
claring that Lou did not lower Maud
S. mile. I am also under the impress
sion that a majority of present day
trotting horsemen believe that Lou is
faster in every hitch than was Maud
s. For these reasons 1 do not take the
decision of the trotting board seriously.
But at the proper time we are going
to show the old men of the trotting
board that they made a mistake in
wiping out LOUIS high-Wheel sulky
mile. That is. if the heirs to the Bon
ner estate will allow US. 1t is Mr.. Bill
lings' intention to ask the Bonners for
the loan of Maud SIS sulky. I don't
suppose they will refuse, as L have for
years, like other trotting horsemen,
been under the impression that they
offer a standing reward of $4,000 for the
driver of any trotter who lowers Maud
S. s mark under similar conditions and
in similar sulky. If the loan Of her
sulky is made the trial will be made
over the Glenwood track, where Maud
S. trotted to her record
This is a bad time of year to talk
bets, but I believe that the Boomers
will understand that I am not aiming
an unsportsmanlike def at them when
say I am willing to post $4,000 any
day that Lou Dillon will pull Maud
S. s sulky over the same track in bet
ter than 2:05.
"I have the greatest respect for the
memory of Maud S. She was the grand
est trotter of her time. Before we de-
cided to attack her record Mr.. Billings
weighed every angle of the dispute we
knew would follow were the record
broken We have been criticised for
our action in lowering the record, but
we were not prepared for the decision
made which took away LOUIS record.
About midsummer, however, Lou Will
go against the high-wheel mark again,
and my money is ready for any one for
a mile in better than 2:05.'
