YALE GETS BILLY LUSH
FORMER WASHINGTON PLAYER
TO COACH VARSITY NINE.

NEW HAVEN. Conn. July 13.-Billy
Lush. the former Washington player and
the Yale base ball coach of the past season,
has been gobbled up by the Yale base ball
management for a long term. before some
rival university gets hold of him. He has
been offered a contract for three years by
Captain Morgan Bowman of last years
team. and he appended his signature TO IT.
The amount of his salary Is not stated, put
1t Is known that 1t is an advance over the
sum he received this season, and IL is De-
l,eved to be fully as much as the Cleveland
American League team offered him to re-
turn to that club and play hereafter, al
though not so much as the New ork Amer
lean League nine would give him If he
would agree to give up college base Dan
coaching and return to the professional dia-
mond. succeeding Pat Dougherty at left
field.
The signing of the Yale long term con-
tract by Lush means two things. Fist,
that Yale Is the first of the great American
universities to permanently commit herself
to the policy of having professional coach
stick to the nine from the start of the sea-
SON till II closes; second that Lush Is prac-
tfcalIy out of professional base ball, at least
IN the big leagues He would be glad to
get the New Haven franchise In the Con-
necticut League.

GREAT BALL YEAR.
Ban Johnson Says It is Away Ahead
of Last Seasons Record.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-. July 13.-Byron Bancroft
Johnson. president of the American League,
predicts notwithstanding season for the
American League. The attendance In the
eight cities has been far above expectation
and exceeds that of former years
Il thought 1t would be a long time before
last seasons record was equaled,'' he said
but 1t fades to insgnificance when COM
pared to the present showing In the COM
bined circuit the increase is now more than
100000. with prospects that 1t will be far
greater before the schedule is played out
Johnson attributes the large attendance
to the closeness of the American League
race and to the fact that base ball has
practically no OPPOSITION IN Chicago, where
immense crowds have been drawn. He
would not predict the probable outcome of
the pennant race in the American League.
They drawing closer together each
day" said he. land everything indicates
that the first five teams will be closely
punched when it's all over. The middle
west, of course. favors Cleveland, but down
east there is an undying confidence that
both Boston and New York will make
things very interesting for the Lajoie out
fit"

CHICAGO GETS ENVIOUS
SUCCESS OF THE BIG TROTTING
EVENTS IN EAST TO BE EXTENDED

CLEVELAND, July 13.-The Gentlemen 8
Driving Club of Chicago. which has never
figured extensively in local amateur trot-
ting circles, has become envious of the sue
cess of the amateur driving clubs in the
east in pulling off intercity matinees and
has asked the board of directors of the
League of Amateur Driving Clubs. of
which II. X. Devereux of Cleveland is the
president, for dates for intercity mat
inee at Chicago.
Without any doubt the request will be
granted, as the directors more than
DESTROYS that the amateur sports should
boom in the metropolis of the west. This
will make "a series of three tntercity mat
inees for this season, or one more than last
year. not counting the affairs at Lexington.
Syracuse and Memphis, which are con-
Quoted in conjunction with the professional
meetings
The Cleveland matinee will be the first to
be held. the Cleveland challenge gold cup
race being pulled off the last week In
August This will be followed by the
Pittsburg matinee, and then the one at
Chicago will be held, probably the second
week in September.
Most of the best horses will take part in
all three matinees. Mr.. Billings is sure to
enter his horses at both Blenville and Chi
cago. while F. A Jones of Memphis may
be counted upon to do the same, both being
originally Chicago men. Mr.. Billings has
never raced Lou Dillon. 1.59k. or Major
Delmar. 1.59A. and. in fact, several others
of his choice ones, at Chicago, and he will
not lose this opportunity to show his home
friends the best trotters in the country.
Unless some of the expected entries go
wrong before now and the last of August
the field in the Cleveland challenge cup
race should be the finest that ever started
in any trotting race. Mr.. Billings has Lou
Dillon, Major Demar, Prince of Orange
and The Monk to select from; F. A. Jones
has the great Tom Axworthy 207. while
the Pittsburg Club has those two great
campaigners. DR.. Strong and Billy Buck. to

Arnold Lawson has announced that he Will
enter the speedy Boralma, and then other
towns may have something of the right

are Cleveland owned horses. In addition to
Tom Axworthy. Mr.. Jones is the owner of
Clarita W., now picked to win the NJ. and
NJ. he will have two horses from which
to pick.

one of the biggest killings Of the year in
Chicago on the recent victory of Western
Duke. Goldway and John Carroll. all WIN

Corrigan, 1t is said. handed out 5000 to
commissioners to back Western Duke. This
horse was formerly owned by Corrigan, and
he may still have big interest in him. but
when Johnnie Mayberry severed his con-
nection with c. r. Ellison he took a num-
Der of Corrfgan's horses to Latonia to race.
and since then they have been running in
Mayberrys name year ago Corrigan
thought Western Duke was better horse
than MCGEE. but the imported son OF Grand
Duke-Devonia. failed to train well.
This spring the big horse showed some
fine work at Hawthorne and when May

The start was prompt and good The

for nearly 100 yards. Then Burns shot
Cousin Eva to the front. AS soon as her
head and shoulders were in front of her
opponents Burns steered her from the out
side position toward the rail. cutting sharp
ly across the FLIES that were on the inside.
He thus forced them into a wedge and
damned them up against the fence. While

THE RECALL FLAG USED
RARE EXPERIENCE AT BRIGHTON
BEACH YESTERDAY.
Special Dispatch to The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. July Bone OF the rare in
stances Of the use of recall flag since It's
authorization by the Jockey Club two years
ago occurred at Brighton Beach in the third
race yesterday. To false break more than
half the field ran q furlong or more, but all
were pulled up and returned to the post ap-
parently without expanding enough energy
to change the result of the race materially.
although the delay occasioned may have af-
fected some of the top weights adversely.
The event was a handicap at six furlongs,
with fourteen horses trying for honors.
Druid, on her recent efforts appealed to the
talent as likely winner, and she opened
and closed favorite. Half the starters. how
ever. were well backed.
The winner turned up in Frontenac. five
year-Old son of Kingston and Sylvia Belle
carrying the colors of J. Griffin. FrontenaC
has been running at Kenilworth Park. Buff
falo. He was well played. closing at 7 to 1.
and received one of the mastery rides and
finishes that Jack Martin is capable OF
when he feels in the humor. Frontenac
could not find clear sailing after the break
but Martin was patient until the front rum
nerS spread out after turning into the
stretch. and in long drive just got up to
beat Ancestor on the post. Shot Gun made
all the early running under top weight, i2s
pounds. but collapsed in the stretch. as did
Handzarra, the latter just lasting long
enough to save third money from the fast
closing Druid.
The recall flag was brought into use be-
cause the barrier failed to go up at a time
when Starter Cassidy caught the field IN
alignment. He shouted to the boys TO
come on" and Immediately followed II
with an order to stop. Fortunately all the
riders who broke ducked under the web
bling and escaped being pulled off. The az
fair was somewhat similar to a race few
weeks ago. when the barrier failed to
spring and the four jockeys got under It
safely At that time it was stated that If
one horse had been left at the post his
owrer could have compelled the stewards
to order the race run over.
The use of recall flag was decided upon
two years ago, following a race on the turf
at Sheepshead Bay. On that occasion one
end of the barrier did not go up. One of
the four starters was thrown. another was
left at the post, and the favorite, Flying
Ship was sent away on the run. Swamp
lands. at SO to l, got away and took second
money. The Jockey Club decided then that
such occurrences could be obviated by sta
tioning a flagman on the course to nuliffy
unfair starts due to defective work of the
barrier at a signal from the starter.

GREAT TENNIS ABROAD
DRAWINGS FOR THE INTERNA-
TIoNAL MATCHES.

The New York Herald's European edi-
ton publishes the following from it's cor
respondent:
LONDON, WeGnesday.-The formal nom
nation of players and drawings for the
first group of international lawn tennis
matches in the tournament for the Dwight
F. Davis cup were made today at tho
Queens Club.
America nominated Holcombe Ward and
W. j. Cloth.er for the singles and Mr..
Ward and BeaIs C. Wright for the doubles.
Australia nominated N. f. Rrookes and A.
F. Wilding for the singles and Mr.. Brookes
and A. w. Dunlop for the doubles.
France. as expected. puts In NM. Decu-
gis and Germot for both the doubles and
the singles as does Austria with c. Won
NeSSeley and kinzl.
All these nominations except those OF
America, were foregone conclusions. Moth
In advance of the stipulated time and ex-
cept that Messrs Wright and Ward should
carry the doubles everything in connection
with the team was simply conjecture
Inc fact that America meets France In
the opening matches did not require the
nomination of its strongest combination
anyhow, and there Is a strong prospect of
another singles combination by the time
TIE team gets to Australia in the final
round
Australia has put In its strongest combi-
Deton right at the start, as have the other
two countries, their only ones.
Drawings for the singles for Thursdays
play in the matches between America and
France put Mr.. Ward, the American cham
pion. against NJ. Germot, Frances second
man, and Mr.. Clothier against M Decugis,
the top man from across the channel
In the matches between Australia and
Austria, Mr.. Brooks will play Herr Kinzl
and Mr.. Willing will meet Herr Won Wes-
sely
On Saturday the line will be the reverse
OF that of Thursday and the matches will
bring the top men In opposition In each
case. On Friday. in the doubles. Messrs
ward and Wright agt. NM. Decugfs and
Germot and Messrs. Brookes and Dunlop
agt Herren kinzl and Won Wesley will be
the order.
While interest in these first ties Is great
1t Is not so keen If there were more
doubt as to the outcome. There is a mark
ed unanimity of opinion as to the winners
and speculation goes ahead to next week
and the expected America-Australia tie.

PLAYERS COME TO BLOWS.
Devlin and Bresnahan Quarrel During
Game With Chicago.

NEW YORK. July 13.-Trouble has broken
out in the ranks of the New York Giants
and during the game yesterday Bresnahan
and Devlin came to blows. The game was
easy for the Chicago team. and the errors
of these two players greatly aided the Cubs
in their run-getting. Bresnahan and Devlin
were talking these things over while the
Giants were at the bat In the ninth inning.
Suddenly they arose from the players
bench and made a couple of passes. San
dow Mertes and Matty jumped in between
them and il was all over before the fans
got good view of the bout. Each had a
particularly bad day.
The collegian juggled couple, while
Roger had his troubles with Mathewson' s
shoots. a pair of which he booted and
then couldn't find the ball. An argument
arose between these players over the mis-
plays that caused the quarrel.
