Base Ball Notes.

The New York Americans received the
signed contract Of Pitcher J. H. Whitley OF
vincennes. Ind, yesterday. Whitley has a
fine record and was drafted last fall.
Philadelphia people do not think 1t was
good move to part with Catcher Jack Roth
and have done little hammerfng in Mike
Kahoe's direction.
The two ST. Louis clubs alone will train
In Texas. as against Ave teams a year ago.
The hammer has gone out on the lone star
state conditioning place.
Connie Mack was asked what he
thought Of the spit ball and answered; "Oh.
every pitcher VIII have it this season. and
every team will have its Chesbro."
Dave Fultz declares that the long rest
this winter has worked wonders on his
strained underpinning. He has assured
Manager Griffith that no one but D. Fultz
will scamper in the Highlanders' center
field.
James Dineen, a brother of the Boston
pitcher. is said to have brilliant future
in base ball. He Is a member OF the Uni
versity of Syracuse nine and is said to
possess the speed Of his brother.
IT have played against Coakley and Fred.

faloes the other day. ''and think the Phil
adelphias haven't got a thing on the man
the Boston Americans have secured. In
fact, I think rather prefer O'Brien. '-Bos-
ton Herald.
When the Boston Americans arrive at
Jacksonville. Fla.. they will look little like
champions, as they will not have either
Setback, Freeman or Stahl. Burkett will
be the only one Of the regular outdeiders
there, but Unglaub can be depended upon
to do good trick and Jesse Tannehill is no
mean outfielder.

son-$s000. II am perfectly satisfied" said
the great pitcher to Treasurer Farrell, Eek
cept in one particular. Ever since 1 have

Match of Chess Masters.

Late last night Janowski and Marshall adj
journed the fourth game Of the chess match
Of eight games up at the Cercle de Phiidor
In Paris. The Partisan had two pawns to
the good and sixty-eight moves had been
recorded. Marshall defended a queens
gambit by declining to accept the gambit
pawn and eventually lost a pawn. In the
middle stage Of the game pieces were freely
exchanged. and when an adjournment took
place, at $50 o'clock in the evening. Janow-
ski had still q pawn to the good, but owing
to the fact that bishops of opposite colors
were on the board it was thought that a
draw would result. IN the evening session
Janowsk won another pawn. The game will
be finished today Present score: Mar
shall, 2; Janowski, L. adjourned, 1.

REMARKABLE AUToR SPEED.
Mile Covered in SO As Seconds in
Florida Races.

One of the best days sport In the speed
tournament of the Florida East Coast Auto
mobile Association was finished in the clos
ing events Of the regular program at Day
tona yesterday. Three trophy events were
decided and each contributed worlds rec
ord. In mile trials a new figure was set
for American gasoline machines. while in
the open-class the mark was placed at
point that indicates the approach Of a two
mile-per-minute gait.
The records established were-One mile,
flying start all classes. III. L. Bowden. 100
h. p. Mercedes. 30 As seconds; mile.
flying starte. American gasoline machines,
Walter Christie, 60 h. p. Christie, 40 sec
onds; ten miles. A. c. Macdonald, 30 h. D.
Napier. 6n. 15s.; twenty miles. A. c. Mac
Donald. 90 h. p. Napier. 15m. 23s.; fifty
miles, H. w. Fletcher. 80 h. p. De Dietrich,
28m. SIS. The last three records were made
in competition from standing start
Because of the international rivalry on
the mile mark Mr.. Bowden's performance
may be considered the stellar event of the
meeting. 1t is true that his double Mercedes
machine, because of overweight, is not eligi-
BILE to competitive events. and that the
Napier record of "a % seconds still holds
good in regular classes, but that in no way
mars the achievement of the greatest speed
ever attained by any method of locomotion
without the use of rails. Mr.. Bowden's
record was made at the close of the days
idly encroaching upon the beach. The
course was in good condition, but not at its
best.
The start was at the club house at Day.
tona, and Mr.. Bowden rode southwark
with strong northeast wind at his back.
He got his huge machine in motion between
the two piers at Sea Breeze, mile and a
half from the starting line. Mrs. Bowden
had driven in touring car to the finish
line, and an eager knot of spectators were
gathered at the club house. Half mile
from the automatic starting wire the Mer-
cedes was travelling at its highest speed.
With an unbroken roar, indicating that
every working part was performing its
function, the great beach locomotive shot
over the wire like a streak of white Be-
side the wire. with watches In hand, were
E. R. Thomas. William Wallace, s. B.
Stevens, Walter Christie. j. 8. Heller, Ar
thur Macdonald, Barney Oldfeld and other
race drivers.
He will beat the record.' shouted Mr..
Thomas!
He has beaten IT." called back Mr.. Wal
lace. as a mile away a fast disappearing
object shot past mass of excited beings
to the sharp report from the pistol of the
McCurty timing apparatus. which con-
Guided the most wonderful mile in history.
In another mile Mr.. Bowden had slowed
down sufficiently to make turn. and
came up the beach leisurely, with crowd
of automobiles trailing him
Il think the mark about as low as 1t can
be placed" was Mr.. Bowden's answer to
the congratulations of friends.

The bowling team representing the Mary
land Athletic Club Of Baltimore and the
Commissioners bowling team have ar
ranged for contest on the Palace alleys
tomorrow evening. This will be the second
series of the intercity bowling contests be-
tween the Commissioners and the Baltimore
teams. In Baltimore last week the Com
mlssioners team won two out Of the first
three games rolled although the scores

evening will probably prove interesting and
exciting because of the close scores ex-
pected.

To Open The Town,

Since the establishment Of the coal
camp Of the Dawson Fuel company
In this county. the town of Dawson
has been conducted as an exclusive
company concern, says the Springer
Stockman. No one has been allowed
the privilege of purchasing property
there or establishing themselves in
business there. In fact intrusion for
any purpose had first to be secured
from the management. Political, re-
ligious or business freedom has been
unknown in Dawson, so great has
been corporation censorship.
Lately the Phelps Dodge syndicate
purchased the entire interests Of the
Ell Paso & Northeastern, which in
cluded the Dawson branch and the
Dawson mines. This syndicate, large
ly interested as they are in the south
west, do not attempt to control the
rights OF their employees, and their
establishments are only optional with
those in their employ as well MS their
owl. supplies.
1t has just been nslven out that the
town OF Dawson Is to'he surveyed III
to town lots and sold 10 the public the
company reserving, a sufficient
~, unit - elound for operating pur-
poses and all mir. raj rights on the
$4,000 acres of land they own. There
will then be opportunities for business
men to enter Dawson.
The opening of Dawson will be a
nice thing for Colfax county in every
way, and the news will be received
with pleasure by all its people.
