JOHNSON IN BOSTON.
New Version Of the Hughes-Winter
Deal

A special from Boston says that Ban
Johnson, president of the American
League, spent very busy day in that
CITY Yesterday During his stay he has
been fairly besieged by newspaper men
anxious to ascertain his views on the
several topics of interest in base ball.
Among his callers was Umpire Thomas
Connolly, who said he had not heard from
Johnson relative to next seasons work,
and the American League president said,
loosely:
Il put Connolly in the same category
with Jack Sheridan; neither of them
would leave me if he could. When Con-
molly gets ready he can sign. l signed
Jack Sheridan just before came east.
would not have been so anxious but for
the talk that the Pacific Coast and East
ern Leagues were after him. so Sheridan
said to me he had better sign and put a
ouietus to that kind of talk. 1t was Con-
molly who recommended my new umpire,
Tom Kelly so highly to me. and he as
sures me that I have secured in him q
first-class man and one who will give me
no trouble, as he can handle a game in
first-claSs shape. Sheridan it was who
called my attention to Mccarthy, the man
I secured in California. I think we will
be better fixed for umpires this year than
at any time since 1901
When asked about the Winter-Hughes
affair, Mr. Johnson said:
They've got this thing all mixed up.
Winters name should never have ap-
peared on the Washington list. President
Taylor of the Boston American League
team tried to make deal of Hulsman of
the Washington team for Stone of Mil
waukee. but the st. Louis team refused
to waive claim on Hulsman, so Taylor
had to buy Stone to get him. The Hughes
matter never came UP to me at all That
is up to the owners of the Washington
club. A local interest in Washington con-
trolls 30 per cent of the stock of the club
and the American League As per cent, so
that it is for Washington to make the
deal if they feel SO inclined. For my part,
| would favor the deal, as 1 think Winter
Is an easier man to handle"
Mr.. johnson said that he freely admit
ted that more batting was desirable and
thought the most feasible solution of the
difficulty was to give the batsman four
strikes. He asked Tom Connolly il the
latter thought the batsmen would be able
to conquer the foul strike, and the UNI
pre- answered in the affirmative. John
son responded: Sheridan feels the same
way

NEW AUTO RECORD,
Mark Set by W. x. Vanderbilt EcEps-
ed by A. G, Macdonald.

A special from Ormond-Daytona Beach,
Fla, says that five miles in three minutes
seventeen seconds by ninety-horse power
Napier racing machine, driven by A. c.
Macdonald, was the redeeming feature of
the opening days automobile speed compe
tition on the Ormond-D aytona beach yes
terday.
More than 1900 automobile race enthusi-
asts saw some part of this remarkable per-
Torrance, and among many of the most ex-
pert of them the opinion was expressed that
Macdonald has the Vanderbilt record of
thirty-nine seconds for the mile at his
mercy. AS the Napier averaged thirty-nine
and two-fifthS to the mile over course ad-
mittedly in poor condition. and without
favoring wind, it would seem ample justifi-
cation for this prediction.
w. *. Vanderbilt, jr., who held the pre-
viouS five-mile record of three minutes
thirty-one and one-fifth seconds, was not
present to see the splendid performance of
the big six-cylinder English machine, which
was handled in faultless manner by the
Scotch driver. Mr.. Vanderbilt, contrary to
expectations, has not arrived at the scene
of the tournament. but is scheduled for to-
day from Palm Beach, to which place he
proceeded direct when he heard of the fatal
accident to Frank H. Croker. Mr. Van
derbilt's ninety-horse power Mercedes Is at
Ormond awaiting him.
Due perhaps partly to the gloom cast over
the racing community by the death OF MT.
Croker, but more largely to the character
of the events and to the wretched manage
ment of the tournament, the first day OF
the competition for international honors did
not proceed with the eclat that character
lied the opening day last year. The hosts
of guests who crowded the Ormond, Claren-
don, Collonnades and other hotels to the
OVERLOOKING point had difficulty in aScef-
tanning the races scheduled for the day, the
starting and finishing lines and the exact

for many hours before the competition be-

A high wind from the west and rain in
the early morning left the beach in moth

and gullies in the upper portion of the
course. The races were started opposite
the club house of the Florida East Coast
Automobile Association, at Daytona SIX
miles south of Ormond, and We're run
straightaway to the southwark. The rae
ing began at o'clock in the afternoon ana
was continued until o'clock.
The courses readily improved during the
progress of the competition up to about
O'Clock when the returning t1de raploiy
narrowed the racing stretch
Except for a few record trials the racing
was confined to stock cars, and the scratch

To Have a Pin Judge.

Another progressive step which will APP
peal TO the bowlers will be the appointment
of a pin judge, who will see that the boys
set up the pins properly.
President Koerner of the Milwaukee Bowl
ing League reports that 100 teams have been
enrolled in his association. which means
that the cream city will have ten votes In
the congress. When it is taken into consid.
Grafton that outside of Milwaukee Wiscon-
sin will have twenty-three votes, giving a
total of thirty-three delegates who will
probably vote as unit, it will be seen that
Wisconsin bowlers Will be an important
factor in the coming congress.
Estimates place the total vote in the COM
ing congress at 100, which means that Wis
consin viii have one-third. That this power
will be welded for the best interests of the
American bowling congress is certain, al
though the leaders are reticent to what
legislation they will advocate. They saw
that after the entries are in and the bulk of
their work is done there will be plenty of
time to take up the political side of the
sport.

Fifty Teams From Chicago.

One of the features of the coming tour
nament will be the pains which the man.

friends, They are not satisfied simply to
give them a perfect building for the meet,
but, profiting by the mistakes made at pre-
vious national contests, they will inaugur-
ate many reforms which will afterward
probably be demanded by the bowlers.
One thing which will make a hit with the
teams that are drawn to bowl on the OPEN
ing night, February 49, will be the condi-
ton of the approaches to the alleys The
American congress rules prohibit the use
of alleys before the tournament opens. but
say nothing about preparing the runways

offer every possible convenience and COM
fort for the visiting bowlers, including it's
perfect heating and lighting facilities, Its

cede that everything possible has been done
to make the 1905 meet the banner affair IN
the history of the sport.

control and other political questions relat-
ing to the sport that will come up at the
next congress the Milwaukee men are using
their energies to swell the entry list and
increase the prize money.
Prizes to Exceed $4,000.
When the estimated prize list was fist
published the figures were based on 16o
fve-men teams, which is thirty more than
Cleveland's estimate and fifty-two more
than the actual entries amounted to. This
made the cash prizes in round figures $10-
COO and the indications are that the sum
will be in excess of that, while there is
hardly a chance that it will fall below
that amount.
Scattering entries from all sections of the
country and not including any of the bowl

of Seventy-five have been received by Sec

reaching the 200 mark the reports

to wager that fifty teams will be entered

Jim O'Leary, the Chicago bowling enthus-
last that he will take his team to Milwau-
kee Saturday evening on a special train,
accompanied by 500 bowlers, and his drum
corps, and they will see that the affair is
started with a hurrah.
