SEASON IN THE EAST
TO HAVE BIG OPENING

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-It is assured that
the racing season of 1904 will have a thor
oughly asupicious opening about New York
when the Queens County Jockey Club be-
gins the Aqueduct meeting on April 10. Su-
perintendent Joseph ID. Reilly has expressed
himself as we'll pleased with the way
stake entries are coming in, and predicts
that both in the matter of quality and guam
THY the list will be better than ever before.
Before the present thaw,' said Mr.
Reilly. lit looked entirely possible that rae
ing about New York in April would be
decidedly uncomfortable and the severity
of the winter and consequent inability OF
trainers to fit their horses made me. fear for
our Carter Handicap. However, horsemen
have responded handsomely 10 our princi-
pal fixture. which has 5000 added to il.
and already l can promise a wonderfully
good list. Aqueduct has been under snow
and ice for longer period this winter
than i'm several years. but matter of
fact that condition Will do the new work
of last summer no end of good. and / ex-
pect the track TO be at its very best during

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
MUNROE And SHARKEY

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-There is marked
difference and much in common be-
tween Jack Munroe and Tom Sharkey
who are to see which is the better
man in Philadelphia. Philadelphia is not
a particularly good borough in which to
best man, but it is the most inviting
place the pair could find. However this
has nothing to do with similarity and lack
of it between them.
They are both big, rugged fellows, strong
and slow Neither knows the intricate
skill of boxing as champions even Jeffries
knows it, Sharkey has had many good
fights, and has achieved a certain meas
ure of success. Munroe has had little ex-
perience in the ring. lie received a de-
cision over Jeffries. and, without comment
ing on that. he has handily beaten man
always considered dangerous, notwith-
standing his many defeats-Peter Maher
He has also put away-made him Quit at
any rate-SnOther, who was touted as a
wonder, but who faded when the gait was
put into him. That was Al Limerick.
on the card-the record card-Sharkey
has it all over Munroe. But it often hap
pens that the lack of record has its COM
pensations a man who has had few fights
is not battered up and put to the bad.
The best battle of Sharkeys career was
his twenty-five rounds with the champion
at Coney Island. But in that fight the
sailor received beating from which he
has not yet recovered. nor will he ever.
In all mis- ring experience Sharkey has
never been able TO learn anything of box
ing His is rush and two hands swing
ing. That's the limit of his skill. But
if either swing lands there is an immediate
sufficiency for the other fellow.
Ii is very probable that Munroe has ac-
quired some science to which Sharkey is
a stranger. Kid Mccoy has been coach
ing the delegate from Butte. and there
is no trick OF the game that the Kid
doesn't know.
The only safe way 10 make a guess be-
tween them is 10 say that stray wallop
may end the business for either
While they are alike in physical char
acteristics. they are far apart in dispo-
sition. Mr.. Sharkey is a very serious
minded person. Mr. Sharkey takes him
self with a degree OF respect hardly shared
by the rest of mankind. If a joke were
the champion of the world. Sharkey would
have his wish. A joke would have abso-
lutely no chance with him
MunrOe bubbles with laughing good ma
ture He is Quickwitted and can take care
of himself mentally ia most company In
his own estimation he is not nearly SO
important a parsonage as is Sharkey in his
Ii IL be true that the world takes you
at your valuation. some philcso-
pliers would have us believe, then Sharkey
ought 10 be "a tremendous favorite in the
betting, which. with due respect TO the
philosophers aforementioned, he Is not.

DEIMET-DWYER STABLES
HEADED FOR ATLANTA
Owner of Africander Will Winter
Fine String in the South
ern City.

ATLANTA, Feb. 13.-Sim Deimel, owner
of Africander and partner Of Phil Dwyer,
both at the head of of the largest
racing stables Of America. visited Atlanta
recently and inspected training quarters at
Piedmont Park with Secretary Frank
Weldon, of the association.
The object of Mr.. Deimers visit to At
lanta was to locate winter training quar-
tiers for Africander and other noted horses
from the big stables, and he announced
after the inspection that in all likelihood
this stable would be brought to Piedmont
Park next fall.
1t was further announced that a mile
track was in prospect and that Deimel.
Phil Dwyer and other well-known Eastern
turfmen would race their strings in Atlanta
next fall
cleaned up $4,000 in purses and stood fourth
in the entire country so far as winnings
were concerned.
This announcement will come as a big
turf boom to local racing game. The fact
that Atlanta will be the winter home of
Africander and racers of like ilk, those
born and bred in the purple and noted as
winners on many tracks, has more behind
it than many would figure at first glance.
1t means in reality that Atlanta is the
natural turf enemy and rival of New Or
leans and Northern horsemen are begin
ming to turn their attention in this direc-
ton. 1t is but the forerunner of a time
not far distant when Atlanta will be the
biggest winter training center in the coun-
try. for Mr.. Deimel regards this city
I'm my opinion. stated Mr.. Deimel be-
fore he left for New Orleans, Atlanta is
naturally one of the best winter resorts
for stabling strings in the country

its central facilities The climate is just
the sort we wish. Piedmont Park, and
there are other sites equally favorable, Of
fers the best advantages. In addition to
wintering here l am also figuring on en-
tering some of my best horses in the fall
and spring meetings that will probably

ture plans in this regard. / am most IA
vorably inclined this way
Ben Falk the wel-known bookmaker
has also reached Atlanta, and while ne
would not give out any definite information,
admitted that a mile track was now under
contemplation and that it was only the
question of a short while before this would
be built
FAX had a lengthy interview with Mr..
Weldon on the subject and the two will
again look over the ground at Piedmont
Park TO get the best line on a mile track
situation.
Here is what the visit of these turfmen
and their conferences with Mr.. Weldon
forecasts:
a mile track for Atlanta.
Two big spring and fall meetings with the
best entries in America recorded.

sorts for leading stables in America.

HARLEM WILL OFFER
MANY RICH STAKES

CHICAGO. Feb. 13.-The Harlem Jockey
Club stakes for the coming season are even
more attractive than the former offerings
of this progressive association. The prin-
cipal event. from the standpoint of value
TO be run a the spring meeting is the Har-
lem National Handicap for three-year-olds
and upward. This event, which more closely
corresponds To the Eastern handicaps than
any other event. except one, run in the
West, will have guaranteed value of $l5,-
COO
The distance is one mile and three-six-
teenths. and the event promises to become
a fixture of much Importance and one that
will attract the attention of the principal
owners throughout the country.
The stakes are thirteen in number. FIVE

for three-year-olds. and six for the juve-
niles. The feature of the latter class is the

DIVERS RACING STRING

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-The horses that
will perform in Mr.. Dryers colors this
year have wintered remarkably well at
Gravesend, and the most of them show
a greater Advancement than the majority
of horses that have stabbed in New York
during the cold weather. In the two-year-
old division the string will be much strong
er than il was last year, in point of num-
bers, and at the same time there is little
doubt that several in the lot being fitted
by Welsh will train into high-class per-
formers. One of the beSt-looking ones
shown is Jennie McCabe, a full sister TO
Major Daingerfield. being by Handspring
from Mon Droit. She is big, rangy chest
nut with remarkably handsome racing
conformation. Many others are of fash
ionable pedigree. and altogether the younger
division of the Dwyer string is a truly
promising one.
