NEW ORLEANS RACES.

Lowered Record Over Two Seconds,

The stewards at New Orleans intend to
punish every one connected with the de-
ception that was practiced on them Friday
with Sweet Pepper. Saturday they suspend
ed Trainer ]. II. McCoulsky from all priv
iliges and will ask that his license be re-
voked by both the stewards of the Jockey
Club and Western Jockey Club.
McCoulsky was before the stewards Sat-
urday. He frankly admitted that he had
brought the flly Sweet Pepper to the pad
dock after the time allotted and that he
knew that the counterfeit horse had been
sent to the paddock. McCoulsky stated also
that he and Griffin had studied the rules
carefully for three days before the race
and that as they interpreted them they
could only be fined. Already political and
other influence Is at work to have the sus-
pension against Griffin and his horse re-
moved.

which the business Of fthe coming session
was outlined. AS tho National Leagues
schedule meeting has been arranged for
tomorrow at the Victoria Hotel, New York.
there may be some very lively times be-
fore the week ends. Garry Hermann,
chairman OF the national commission. has
promised to hand down the decision in
the Ridgewood case at tomorrow's session,
at which, 1t was said last night, there will
be some warm exchanges of base ball COM

The scenes at Benning track daily attest
the early advent of racing there Every

flied with horses being fitted for the meet
ing now less than a month away. Train
ers who never before went There until the
eve of racing are on hand in great numbers.
and more are arriving every day. There
are now stabbed at the course 2I9 horses,
and stalls for 2i3 which are scheduled to
arrive this week are awaiting them. In
addition to these, Superintendent Strahan
has applications for 146 more, which Will
overtax the accommodations at the track.
So far as he possibly can, the superintend-
ent, who always is most courteous in ms
treatment of horsemen, will obtain stabling
handy to the course outside the grAunds,
but it does seem at present as If trainers
and owners who were dilatory in sending
in notices of their intention to race would
have to accept what fortune may bring
their way.
No favorites were played. Stalls were
assigned as horses arrived, and others were
reserved as applications came in, so that
neither the Washington Jockey Club nor
the superintendent can be blamed If the
late ones find difficulty in obtaining con-
venient stable room. There probably will
be stalls got somewhere for every one, but
the better boxes at the course itself were
allotted in the order asked for. The track
itself could not be in better condition. 1t
practically is fit to be raced over as 1t now
is and shows not only the virtue@of the
place as training ground. but the care
which has been taken of it. Naturally, there
is a lot of interest in the weights for the
Benning specials which will be announced
tomorrow. Trainers on the ground scout the
notion that the winning candidate is not
now at the course, arguing that with the
training advantage they have they will be
able to cope successfully with any that
will come from New York. AS for New
Orleans, they profess not to fear horses
from that section in races in which class
will be prominent, though they admit that
in selling events the platers now racing at
the course of the Crescent City Jockey Club
may cut an important figure.
President Howland will reach Benning to-
day to look over the ground thoroughly
and see what improvements, if any, are
needed to make it comfortable for the
horsemen and more pleasant for the pub
lie. He will do all he can also to obtain
all the stabling room possible convenient
to the track, so that not even the late
comers may suffer unduly for their pro-
craStination.

leagues will be able to begin the cham
pionship season on q business-like basis. In
speaking of the base ball situation Presi-
dent Johnson said last night:
1.-THE American League is In better shape
to begin championship race than ever be-
fore. All of our teams have been strength
ened and. collectively. they represent the
finest playing talent in America today. No
team has been made particularly strong at
the expense of the others. with the idea OF
cinching big gate receipts in any one city.
In New York Mr.. Farrell and Manager
Griffith have great ball team. The adj
dition of MCGUIRE, Hughes and Anderson
has made the New Yorks powerful COM
bination, which will give the army of bali
fans royal exhibition of the national
game hope that when the season Is over
our National League friends will show a
willingness to play the usual post-season
series for the championship of the world"
The American League men declined to
discuss the Ridgewood case In any form,
but said that Chairman Herrmann's de-
cisiOn would be accepted by them as final.

eALLAUDET's SCHEDULE.
Mutes Have Good Team and Dates

Gallaudet's base ball candidates are train
ing for the coming season. About twenty
five men have reported to Captain Hunter
for preliminary practice at the gymnasium,
and the management is reasonably satisfied
with the enthusiasm and showing of the
men at this stage. In view of~the slough OF
mediocrity that has marked Gallaudet's
teams on the diamond since 1899. much ad-
verse criticism of this department has been
rife at the college for the last two seasons.
The general sentiment against the team was
so great at times that there was some
thought of taking it cut of the field for
good. and giving more attention to track
and field athletics during the spring term.
The management hopes. however, that
this season will see some Improvement over
the showing made during the past few
years. The management has secured the
services of L. G. Rosson, '02 of Tennessee.
as coach during March and April. Rosson
has been in professional base ball the past
two seasons, and was the mainstay of the
team in the box and field during his last
year in college 1t is thought that his per-
sonal influence on the men and his ability
in almost every department of the game
will serve to put the team on its feet this
season.
The schedule of games for the season is as
follows:
