n money cuts any figure with him, Edward |
usnlon will be the next manager OF the Gin |
c,nnati National League Club. Garry Herr
mann. the owner Of that club. has come here
de,ernlned to outbid all other seekers for
ua,lon's services and will probably make
a definite proposition 10 the Brooklyn man
agpr to-day, Last spring Hermann prac-
,irally engaged Hanlon, as THE Sun stated
a, the time, but the publication OF the TACT
blocked the deal as Hermann did not care
~ discourage Joe Kelley, who had charge OF
Tho cincinnati club at the time. Since then
Kelley has been deposed. having signed
contraot as a player only for next year, and
Hermann has thereby paved the way for
Hanlon's engagement. Hanlon has nos
signed with Brooklyn for another season
AND has been holding of to hear from the
Cincinnati magnate.
Last spring, when the Brooklyns were about
10 20 South, the control Of the club passed
into the hands of c. II. Ebbets and Henry w.
Medicus, who promptly decided to reduce
HAnlon's salary from $500 to about half
that amount Hanlon was forced TO accept
the cut, as there was no other berth open to
him, but he signed for only one year. herr
mann says he is willing to pay Hanlon mis-
original Brooklyn salary, or even more II
there Is a rival bidder for the managers ser
vices, and If Hanlon decides 10 move his
family from his home In Baltimore the deal
will probably go through. Hermann has
bank roll which he stands ready to placeat
the disposal of Hanon In the way OF pur-
chasing new talent, which is further induce
nent to the Brooklyn manager TO accept.
inAsmuch as durins the past two years ne
has been compelled to handle a low salaried.
cheap ball team at Washington Park, TO his
own discredit Hermann desires to provide
and n
lon he believes that he will be able to accom-
nlish that end He has big money invested In
National League baseball affairs and sees his
way out OF the pickle by making strong play
In Porkvllle. Hanlon Is one OF the best known
and most capable managers in the profession,
and with Hermann behind him 1t looks az II he
would be able to recover much of the prestige
he has lost since the Brooklyn club inaugu-
rated It's present cheeseparing policy.
A complete record Of the fatal accidents
in various branches of sport, barring football
and automobiling. for the year about to END
shows that twelve baseball players. nine
Jockeys. six pugllists. four harness horse
men and two gymnasts were killed. The
most shocking death from automobile racing
was that OF Frank Croker in Florida. while.
as has already been published, nineteen
football players met their fate,
In abon6hing 1OOtUall al lOluinDld, tno uui-
versity authorities probably prevented trouble
with Yale, Princeton and Pennsylvania.
Mike Murphy the PENNSYLVANIA trainer,
has been quoted as saying that the Quakers
we're 30 unfairly used In their game with
Morley men that they did not care to play
another game. Several Yale graduates have
also scored Columbia for the tactics used by
the latter at American League Park. while
recent editorial printed In Princeton paper

Before his death Capt. s. S. Brown trans
ferred ownership In all Of his Futurity eligi-
bles to his brother. so that they could not
be declared null and void according to the
conditions of the stakes. This move was
probably made by the late millionaire turfman
because he recalled how the late w. c. Whit
news eliRibles we're declared out of the big
racea II lie unde derstood that Robert Brown
will continue to race the big stable on tbe
old lines, although next season the horses
will probably be leased TO Robert TUCKER tue
trainer OF the stable.
The directors Of the Saratoga Racing Asso-
tation have decided TO reduce expenses.
In future the Great Republic Stakes of $50 900
eed value, will be cut down to $4,000
added money affair. built on the lines OF the
Commonwealth Handicap. run at Sheepshead
Bay The Great Republic this year was
failure so Tar as aCtuAl bldTteIb Neio Noh-
cerned and was also gift for Sysonby. The
lack Of revenue from the bookmakers greatly
reduced the receipts OF the Saratoga track.
although It is und erstood that dividend will
be declared
In due time the Jockey Club will branch
out in its Jurisdiction over tracks in the East
and will be better fitted to offer inducements
to the horsemen than the Western governing
bodies Outside Of the metropolitan circuit
and Saratoga the Jockey Club before another
year ends will control tracks at Montreal
New Salem, N. H., Providence, Buffalo. AL
bany. Baltimore and Washington. where so
called poor owners will have royal chance
10 make feed bills. The new track at Mon
treal will be under the direction Of John
Boden the secretary Of the State Racing
Commissions and will receive dates from
the Jockey Club J. L. Holland is building
q track within short ride OF Albany and
Troy which will be ready next summer.
while the track In New Hampshire will open
In June. 1t has not been decided yet whether
there will be further racing at Buffalo, but
there may be something doing In spite OF
past mIsfortunes The Providence venture
while successful last summer, may meet with
obstacles next year unless certain tangles
are Strengthened out.
The wrangles OF the six day bicycle riders
feet credit upon the integrity OF this Kind
OF sport. Last year there was cry Of fake, I"
which the public soon forgot; but the present
renewal Of the charges. due to the statements
OF several Of the riders, may not be so easily
overlooked.
When Battling Nelson and Terry McGovern
come together in Philadelphia next month
ring followers are liable to see one Of the
fastest smuggling matches on record. McGov-
ern, who has regalned his old strength and
vigor. is telling his friends that he will go
at the Battler with the idea Of knocking him
out In Jig time Terry says that he has the
punch, and that the only way he hopes to
win s TO mix II from the start. As Nelson
likes this style OF fighting and can hit like
middleweight. a decisive result is looked
ior inside the limit. McGovern, however.
is inclined to be excitable, in which event he
may find himself at a disadvantage before
the cool headed. clever Dane.
