RACING IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.
Fears That It Cannot Be introduced
In the State.

MANCHESTER, N. H, December 90
New Hampshire horsemen fear that all
efforts to introduce the racing game to
New Hampshire will end with the suit
which was instituted when the Head &
Dowst Company, contractors and builders
of this city, attached the 100000 race
track property of the New England Breed
ers' Club, backed by Andrew Miller, Perry
Belmont, John A. Drake and other turfmen
Of New York In a suit to recover money
alleged to be due for the construction of
the famous Salem race track, or Rocking
ham Park, as 1t Is designated by the club.
The Head & Dowst Company had hun
dreds of men at work from the time that
the race track was chartered by the 1egis-
lature Of 1905 until the track opened last
June. The people Of New Hampshire dis
covered year ago that bookmaking was
contemplated, and a war was begun by the
clergy OF the state. with the result that
its twenty-day meet, which was opened
On June % with an attendance of $4,000,
and which was dragged along until the an
nounced closing day Of July 81, was a dis
NAL failure. Bookmaking was stopped on
the second day.

EAST TO GO WEST
FOR EARLY GAMES

PITTSBURG, Pa, December 26.-"Bar-
ney' Dreyfuss announced last night that
the National League schedule committee,
of which he Is member. and Charles III.
Ebbets Of Brooklyn is chairman, will hold
a conference at Cincinnati on January
with the American League committees The
reason for this selection of time and place
is that the national commission will be In
session at the same time. Schedule making
has been reduced to mere clerical work
since the adoption of the plan of alternating
openings in cities having two clubs, and
consequently no trouble is feared Under
the policy that has been in vogue for two
years. the leagues practically exchange pro-
grams. For example, the eastern teams of
the National League made early trip
west last year, and the western clubs of
the American League went east at the same
time. Under this rule the western clubs
of the National League will go east first
this year. The holiday plums in all cities
where there are two clubs are disposed OF
in a similar way, and the squabbes which
occurred the first year under the peace
agreement are avoided.
Dreyfuss is also member of the rules
committee but as this body has not re-
ceived any suggestions of changes In the
regua tons. and has no business before IT,
a meeting will not be held unless the Ameri-
can League requests one.
In more ways than one Fred" Clarke's
new arrangement with the Pittsburg team
should prove more satisfactory than the
old one. Before terms were agreed upon
DreyfuSs stipulated that Clarke must de-
vote all of his time to base ball, but left II
to the discretion of the manager whether
he should play regularly or not. Clarke
elected to direct the team from the bench
and to play only when needed. He Will be
in uniform every day and ready to rush to
the rescue at a moments notice. Any
time one of the regular outfielders becomes
crippled Clarke will be there to relieve him,
and a change can be made without weak
ening the team Clarke is famous as hard
hitter in pinch. and being free lance
he can be called upon any time to sub for
a weak-hitting regular.
Heretofore Clarke has complained in the
spring of his inability to train himself into
condition, and at the same time direct the
work of twenty or twenty-five other candl-
dates for the team. He Is not the man to
do his work other than thoroughly, and
so long as he felt that he had to jump into
the first championship game of the season
and play LETT field. he considered 1t his duty
to train for the position every hour of the
time that the team spent on the diamond
at Hot Springs. Under the new arrange
ments, Clarke can devote all of his time
at Hot Springs to breaking in his new
players and coaching his pitchers.

JOE CANS STILL
RETAINS HIS PUNCH

TONOPAH, New, December 26.-Joe Cans
celebrated his Christmas day by going
through several hard training stunts. Not
withstanding reports to the contrary, the
champion is In excellent condition. Cans
is practically down to the weight at which
he will be required to fight Herman and
his conditioning processes have been SO
gradual that he has lost none of his
strength in making the weight.
Although the dusky lightweight put in
some hard ticks, he had the greater part
of the day to himself and he enjoyed it
after his own fashion. While he was work
ing. however. he made up for the time that
he rested. In his bag punching he showed
that his wonderful punch is still unim-
paired.
The champion is profiting by his expert
ence in the Nelson fight, and he is sedu-
lousy keeping his weight secret. Only
Cans himself knows what he weighs, and
he steadfastly refuses to give an inkling
as to his heft. However, he can make the
lightweight limit and he showed in his last
fight that he was strong, and it is suspected
by some of his hackers that the dusky
fighter is already lowering around 1873
pounds.
Cans talks little about his coming con-
test with Kid Herman. Joe believes that he
will win easily and his trainers are having
a hard time convincing him that he is hold
ing his opponent too cheaply. The fact is
that Cans really Dei1eVeS Herman Is good,
strong fighter but Joe Is of the opinion that
he will be able to dispose Of the little Chi
goan without much trouble. At first it was
his intention to allow Herman to stay for
several rounds in order to give the Spec
tators run for their money" but now 1t
is expected that he will try to put his man
out as early as possible.
Herman, on the other hand, Is equally
confident of victory. The kid says that
he expects to be out-boxed by Cans in the
early stages of the fight, but that he will
be able to land the winning punch on the
champion after the tenth round. 1t will be
remembered that Battling Nelson figured
his contest the same way, but the fight
turned out differently.
The stocky Chicagoan says that his youth
will Offset Cans experience. The negro
is over thirty years old. and it is certain
that his age will count against him to some
extent.
Herman has learned many new tricks and
punches. But when two fighters get into
the ring for a battle they imediately forget
all of the new things that they have
learned, and go back to their old style of
fighting. Cans extraordinary speed and
cleverness. together with his accuracy. are
his natural style. He has been fighting
that same way for more years than Her
man has spent in the ring. He Is naturally
cool and deliberate. and will be the same
when he faces Herman in the fight for the
championship.

DID kLLIlEA KEEP
COLLINS FROM ST. LOUIS

NEW YORK, December 26.-Has Henry
H. Kililea still some interest in the Bos-
ton Americans or in some other American
League club? is the question going the
rounds since last Saturdays issue of the
st. Louis Sporting News.
St. Louis fans are bitterly criticsing
Killilea for his alleged Quitting in" which
they say, spoiled st. Louis chances of get
ting Jimmy Collins.
Here is what Editor Flanner has to
say on Killilea, and in it he also tells
for the first time of the inside reasons
of Collins coming back to Boston.
Henry Killiea was the one who spoiled
the deal for McAleer landing Collins after
the latter had 1t all framed up but the
signing of papers, and Boston profited a
lot by the negotiations carried on by the
st. Louis manager.
''McAleer's negotiations began after he
returned from the hunting trip with Ban
Johnson, when he made a trip east and
conferred with Collins
Collins holds a contract with the Bos-
ton team which calls for two more years
of service at a salary of 5000 year. and
the contract Is one of the non-forfeitable
ones: In fact. 1t is so strong that Collins
considers he had good cause to sue on the
contract.
Naturally, McAleer did not want to as
sumo such a contract, as Collins is not by
any means q certainty for the coming
season. let alone the following one owing
to his lack Of condition and a bad knee
'McAleer halfway persuaded Collins to
give up this contract and accept one for
the same amount. with the usual release
privilege. At Chicago he finally got Col
Inns to agree to terms for a contract and
then started negotiations with the Boston
management.
THE latter wanted a bunch of money
for Collins, even though the signing of
contract with St Louis would relieve
them OF their obligations under the old
one. and shift the burden to the Browns.
After arguing this over. Boston finally
agreed to allow Collins to go, and 1t look
ed as though the deal were all but COM
pleted.
Then Killilea broke into the game. He
convinced the Taylors, owners Of the Bos-
ton club. that Collins should not be al
lowed to get away from Boston, and found
out for them that Collins had agreed to
sign new contract when he came to st.
Louis.
That was enough, and the Taylors
broke off the negotiations with st. Louis
and went to work with Collins The re-
suit was that Collins agreed to accept a
new contract from Boston, and st. Louis
lost on the deal"

the logs would serve for ceiling beams
Acting on the proposal, the doctor gave
