ball player concluded that he would

have come TO him from the American
association rather than stay in Seattle
under the conditions proposed
In the first place the salary offered
by Manager Hall was not such that it
would make an experienced ball player
sit up nights to consider it, Salaries
have been cut ON the Seattle team this
year, and from indications there has
been limit placed on Manager Hall in
securing his team. But the salary
was minor matter compared to the
stipulations set forth by Manager Hall
in his letter. Part of them follow:
The player must agree not to touch
drop of booze during the entire sea-
son, and he must agree to conduct him
self as a gentleman both on and off
the field. To make sure that he did
this, Manager Hall stipulated that $50
per month of the players salary was to
be held back by the club until the end
of the playing season If he went dry
all that time and conducted himself as
gentleman on and off the field. at the
end of the eight months he would get
the $500 of his pay that had been held
back to insure his good behavior.

TRACK NOTES

Jockey Amos, who rode LouWelsea in
the hurdle race, had nasty fall over
the fourth jump. 1t appeared that the
horse stumbled and threw the boy, and
as he. was about to get up Nitrate who
trailed behind. struck him in the head.
rendering him unconscious. The boy
is suffering from concussion of the
brain.
Throw out Nitrate's effort. He was
the victim ofea bad ride. 1t looked as
though the boy purposely took him on
the outside all the way, covering at
least twenty lengths more than any
other horse in the race.
Tab Crosby, This one will win at the
jumping game. Away poorly. he had no
chance, but he fenced clear.
Miss Provo was the medium of a big
killing in the second race and never
left the result I'm doubt, winning easily.
She was backed from 25 to'S to at
post time. and all the rail birds who
saw her fast workouts had bet on
her hook. line and sinker,
The second good thing" to go over
was La Londe. She was heavily
backed at 2A to 1 and took the lead
at the start, winning easily.
Ocyrohe was the touted one in the
second, but Herbert messed things
about badly or he would have placed.
Watch Ercula. When put where she
belongs win earn brackets.
Fustian has recovered some OF his
old-time speed and is getting ready to
win Showed lot of speed in his race

Delagoa was a false favorite at 8

will not extend herself on the muddy
going.

At present Miller is the best light
weight jockey on the coast. He does
not ride often, but when he does it Is
safe to string along with him. He
fairly lifted 'Cerro Santa under the
wire and the good ride is what scored
for him.
Marlborough was heavily played
but Lynch was not strong enough tc
do him justice He requires strong
handling.
Pat Murphys Dutiful scored an
other bracket in the last race. He came
out "steaming hot" and the bettors
went to him like ducks to water, fore
ing his price to 2 to 1 at post time. He
led all the way until the paddock gate
where he was inclined to loaf. and
Freesias collared him, but McDanies

Jockey Birkenruth, who recently ar

worst season at the "Vapor City" that
he ever saw, He says the weather has
been terrible and the track frozen most

He also said that there had been over
twenty deaths from pneumonia. most
of which were not reported in the
papers,
Birkenruth can ride at 104 pounds and

Had "Pttsburg Phil not won a COM
bination at rs to / in a poolroom in
Pittsburg twenty years ago the chances
are that the world would never have
heard of this great plunger.
The man who laid him that bet said
that Phil was shy youth, and hes-
tated about making the bet at all. He
did make it, however, and it won.
With the little capital it gave him he
did not start out to playing the horses
at once. as has often been reported.
but he made small handbook, taking
small bets from the employees of the
factory in which he was working at the
time.
Whenever there would be q wager of
any size or on horse that the plunger
thought had good chance he would
always lay it off, for he was a close
student of form even in those days. AS
he branched out as plunger Pittsburg
came to be too small place for the
youngster, so he iourneyed to Chicago
and later on to New York.
The big winnings that "Pittsburg
Phil" has made are matters of turf
history. He Is one of the few plung-
ers who lasted and who had fortune
when he died. He had money invested
in some of the best residence real es-
tate in New York, in the vicinity of
Riverside drive
Phil always had the reputation of
being the coolest man on the race
track AS a matter of fact. this is a
thoroughly mistaken idea. He burned
inwardly at any time that he was
watching a race on which he had
wagered a small fortune. When he
first began to break in health he was
told by his physician that his nervous
system had gone to. pieces. He had
exercised too much control over it, and
the doctor advised him to turn loose
and let out yell as often as he saw an
exciting finish. He never took that
piece of advice, however. and any close
student of human nature could see the
inward feelings Of the man. which We're
so thoroughly controlled that from out
ward appearances he looked the pic
ture of an impassive iceberg.
Any man who is familiar with racing
people may call to mind the fact that
the one who turns loose and roots"
and yells like Butch Fisher always
looks healthy and lives his time out.
The cool, impassive individual who
never let's off the extra steam is the one
whose days are short.
