 The winter racing season is again fully under way. This form of sport has now become well established in Amer lea and is a welcome variation from the former merry -go-rounds that were at tempted in winter time in the north few years ago by greedy race track men, who could not wait for the sum mer sun. The climate at New Orleans end San Francisco makes racing prac- tical and entertaining in the winter, and with the addition of the winter colony of visitors always present in those cities, there is ample population to sup port racing in frst-class style, More oyer, New Orleans could not support racing in rivalry with the northern tracks during the summer season, so that 1t is 8 fortunate fact that racing $ there in the winter is feasible. The class and quality of horses racing at the winter tracks is gradually improving each year, and while the largest and weaIthiest owners seldom care to race longer than during the summer months, there are yet plenty G stables of good size and quality to supply New Orleans and. San Francisco, There will be two ether points at which winter racing will be attempted this season, but in each place the venture is doubtful.

Western League.

San Francisco. Jan 6.--The Pacific Coast Base Ball league has appointed a committee of three to meet President Ban Johnson of the American league, James Hart of Chicago and Ned Han lon of Brooklyn, who will soon come from the east to endeavor to bring the coast league into the national agree ment. It is understood that the only terms upon which the coast people will consent will be the recognition of the Pacific league as major organization on equal footing with the big leagues of the east.
 It does seem strange to be talking baseball in this kind of weather, but the sooner the league is certain or ter will be the advance arrangements for making the teams strong.
 Ex-NTayor Edward G. Kilduff, before he decided to leave Waterbury, had in mind the booming of 8 baseball team for Waterbury this season. There is no doubt but what he would have in terested himself in a team had he re- mained here.
 Mayor John r. Elton in his college days was well known athlete, inter ested in all kinds of sport. Should q team represent his city in the Connee- dcut league the coming season. he will undoubtedly give 1t his hearty sanction and encouragement
 If Dan O'Neill succeeds in getting back Tom Owens. and the rest of that old bunch of players, Holyoke will have to look well to her honors. A few more Dan O'Neills and the league will boom as it never was boomed. We have one ready for Waterbury when the word is given.
 When the old baseball enthusiasts begin to awaken that old enthusiasm which has been dormant so many years, and in weather like this, it can be set down for a certainty that no team in the league will receive better support than Wo+ar',,,ry if the direc- 'c.s only look at this matter in the right way.
 Jimmy Sheckard will play with the Brooklyn club next season. That is positive," said Manager Ned Hanlon of the Brooklyn club. yesterday .I don't know of anybody the baseball enthusiasts of Brooklyn would like to see in Sheckard's place. and that set ties the question. All the talk that has been circulated to the effect that the Brooklyn club was willing to sell Sheckard's release was based on hot airs5 f

Sharkey called at the Daily News office tho last time he went through here, and then he looked big and heavy. Yet through all the fat the old muscles still stuck out defantly, and all the high living would not cover them up So fight fol- lowers, it is thought, will hesitate a trifie before plunging on Munroe, even with all his youth. Sharkey has beat en clever men. like Kid Mccoy, and he has beaten big fellows and, barring Fitzsimmons and Jeffries, is rated the most powerful pugilist that has been before the lights of late years. The $ general opinion is that if he has enough left he should win from this young fel- low Munroe; if he cannot stand the training Munroe should win inside of ten rounds Sharkey. anywhere near right, will be an to favorite. @s,
