leagues. No reorganization could be
effected as the leagues have rival clubs
| in five of the larger cities and neither
is willing to quit The talk will prob
| ably come to naught, as 1t always does.
seattles Today
The Angels will tie up with the Seat
ties today at Chutes park and six
games will be played before the ST.
washes go north again. The Seattles
have been greatly strengthened since
their last performances in Los Angeles
and Judging from the tussles with Oak
land they will give the Morleyites a
little better run for the victories than
did Tacoma. These teams are regarded
as the one-two's of the league at pres
ent and much will depend upon the re-
suit of the SERIES Bones Baum and
Oscar Jones, the former Brooklyn
twrler. will be the opposing pitchers
for today's game.
San Berdoo Harness Meet
The San Bernardino Harness asso-
citation has issued its stakes and cup
events to be contested for during the
three days meet beginning November
9. The meet at Agricultural park fol-
lows on the heels of this meeting and
the contenders in the San Berdoo races
will be brought to Los Angeles.
PIunger's Nephew Near Death
James McGill nephew of Pittsburg
Phil, is dying at Denver of tuberculosis. |
He inherited half a million dollars from
his famous uncle and lost practically
all of it on the race tracks of the east. |
A provision of the will of the great |
plunger was that he should remain
away from the races, but McGill could
not resist the temptation and is almost |
penniless.
Racing at Dallas
Racing will begin at Dallas October
rs, and it is predicted that it will be
the most successful running meet |
held in Texas in years. Many promi- |
nent turfmen have shipped their sta
bles to Dallas and will participate.
War at New Orleans
1t begins to appear as if the recent
efforts at patching up peace between
the two turf kings, Corrigan Of the
American and Condor of the western |
jockey clubs, is doomed to die aborn-
ing. Condor, the blind dictator of the !
Western, is quoted as spurning peace
and craving war at any cost. This is
known to be to the liking of Cor
rigan and the owners will find 1t a diff
ficult job to sidestep the issue. This
will drive many OF them to the coast
to keep out of the strife. A fight in
New Orleans this winter Is feared by
owners, and conservative turfmen, be-
cause of the probable outlawry of
racing in the state as the ultimate re-
suit.
Specials for Ascot
Five special trains are due to leave
New York early in November with
horses for Ascot park. The first Of
these specials is scheduled to leave
Jamaica November 2 carrying five
carloads of horses. Others will fol-
low this one closely.
Roseben Great Winner
1t is reported that Davy Johnson,
the plunger and owner of Roseben, has
cleared $243,500 in wagers on the horse
this season. Seldom has this great
horse failed to bring money home
when Davy ran for it.
FoaI Registry Closes
The registration of foals of 1905
must be made before November 1,
that being the final day. After that
date proof that failure to register was
either accidental or unintentional
satisfactory, the registry may be
made by paying a fine of $40, provid-
ing this action is taken previous TO
December 81. After December 81 the
fine is $50.
Flowers for McGraw
Muggsy McGraw, manager Of the
worlds champions, is in great favor
with the owners Of the New York
team of the National league, and it is
said that his $4,000 salary will be
materially increased and the young
manager may be given a slice of stock
in the club. 1t is uncertain who would
draw the biggest crowd in New York
these days, McGraw or President
Roosevelt, but the odds are two to one
on Muggsy.
Cincinnati Strengthening
President Hermann is out with an
interview which makes public part of
the plans of reorganization of the
Cincinnati Reds for next season. More
players Of a higher class are to be
acquired and the old standbys are
going by the board. AS a starter,
Harry Steinfeldt and James Sebring
have been traded to Chicago for Pitch
er Weimer and it is said that other
deals are on whereby several Reds
will go to other clubs and their places
will be filled by purchase, trade and
drafting.
