Atlanta, March 20. -Conferences were
held to-day between leaders of the two
Parker clubs recently organized here
looking to harmonious action on the
part of both. The plans discussed con-
template not a merger of the two clubs,
but a combination of their efforts,
with one Executive Committee, and the

President A. L. Miller of Macon Of
the second Parker Club will be here
tomorrow, and the matter will prob

Both clubs now have headquarters in
the Kimball House, and are displaying
huge banners, indicating the way to
the rooms, where things are being
worked for the New York candidate.

BOLTON STREET BALL PARK
CLEVELAND FANS HEAR
BRIGHT NEWS OF LAJ0IE.
Champion Ball Player Is in Perfect
Form This Season.

Form This Season.
Napoleon Lajoie, king of the profess
sional baseball players, will start the
season of 1904, so it seems now, in
perfect condition, pronounced con-
trast' from last year, when he was
little more than physical wreck for
the first two months of the, playing
schedule. On his Improvement alone
the Cleveland club figures fully Is per
cent. better than last year. 3
Lajoie's great showing is the bright
est news that has struck Cleveland
in long time. In almost every game
played on the Southern trip so far
Larry has been simply whaling the
ball. Out of five times at bat he Sc
cured home run, two two baggers
and two singles, all Of them awful
swipes that tore up the soil as they
went.
The claim made last year that La
joie was a sulker has been amply
disproved this season. He has led
all the practice stunts of his team, has
taken long runs, sweating in three
shirts in addition to his uniform and
a heavy sweater, and is the first man
to start and the last man to quit on
the diamond So earnestly has he been
working that on the first two days he
was forced to rest up after practice
in bed before being able to go to
supper at the hotel.

Louisville, KY, March 29.-with the
opening of the spring meeting at
Churchill Downs only few weeks
away, interest centers in the Ken
lucky Derby. for which the last pay
ments have been made on twenty-six
of the best 3-year-olds in the West
From the indications ten or twelve
youngsters will face the barrier.
According to well-informed horsemen
English Lad, Fred Cookies colt, will
be the choice of the talent, while
Proceeds and Conjurer the pair be-
longing to Capt. S. S. Brown, the Pitts
burg coal king, will receive warm sup
port as second choice There is in
Louisville, however, a youngster on
which the faith of the local men will
be pinned, and this is no other than
Jason, a youngster by Juvenal-Tolu-
ca.
This youngster belongs to Middleton
q Jungbluth, who owned The Picket,
the colt which won the American Der
by last year. In this race the Louis
willie youngster galloped home many
lengths to the good and won for
piungers who were in on the coup a
fortune. g..
The Picket was carefully prepared at
Churchill Downs by Carroll Reed, and
the few folks in the know profted by
the well-laid plans. Jason is being
prepared with even more secrecy than
marked The Picket's preliminary work,
and while he may not be able to win
as easily as The Picket did before
those countless thousands last June,
wise horsemen hereabouts shake their
heads when his name is mentioned
and refuse to make any sort of pre-
dictions. They realize that a grand
field has qualified for both the Ken
lucky and American Derbies, and that
it is foolish for any one to predict a
winner this early in the spring.

Gum HOney's Two Victories.
Gum Honey's two victories gave Ben
nings itself a claim to public notice,
for the gray son of Flatlands and
Jacqueline had been here ever since
last autumn. John d. Hooe, the own
er of Gum Honey, is rather enthusi-
astic over his jumper. who is trained
by Little Mike Daily.
1t is three years since Gum Honey
was a 2-year-old. but Mr.. Hooe still
talks of the promise that his horse
gave even then, when he was can
didate for honors in the youngest class.
Nothing at Bennings has thus far
jumped to beat Gum Honey, but there
has not been much to oppose him, and
even Mr.. Hooe has scant hope of his
continuing his winning career when he
goes to Morris Park.
On the second day of the meeting
Belle of Milford and DR.. Swartz both
gave evidence that Bennings is not a
bad place for wintering. They were

NEW YORK TRAINED HORSES
UNABLE TO WIN THE PURSES
Superiority Of the South and West FOR Fitting
Racers Amply Demonstrated.

Writing from the Bennings track to
the New York Telegraph, H. L. Mar
shall has the, following to say of horses
wintered in the South, as compared
to those wintered around New York:
Three days of racing at Bennings
have served to demonstrate that horses
which have wintered around New York
are not yet in condition to make a play
against racers that have had the adj
vantage of winter months south of the
Mason and Dixon line, or west of the
Rocky Mountains.
Eighteen races have been run thus
far, and New York can claim credit
for only two winners. Even one of
these-Rain or Shine-has had most of
his preliminary work at Bennings, for
IL is nearly two months now since his
owner. sid" White. brought him here
from Sheepshead Bay.

New York. March 29.-The Stock
List Committee of the New York Stock
Exchange to-day had under considera-
ton an application to place Northern
Securities shares in the unlisted de-
partment. The petition, 1t was report
ed, came from the company itself, or
at any rate from influential interests
identified with the company. From the
fact that these securities have been
dealt in for two and a half years on
the curb and that the Supreme Court
had upheld the ruling of the lower
court, declaring the merger illegal,
and requiring it's dissolution, the re-
quest to place Northern Securities on
the exchange was regarded with a
great deal of interest

that the distribution OF Northern Sc
