BAN Players Had Great Time in
Yucatan.

Houston, Tev Feb. 27.-The crowd OF
American ball players which have beeh IN
Yucatan during the winter, have returned
with tales of wealth galore for ball play
ers in Mexico All OF them had money
and are in fine fettle. Some of the players
who returned are Writ Spencer, PIGGY
Page, Ed Karger. Dutch PauEg, Blll
K enrner and Dick Latham the oIneIs
stopped at Galveston Another bunch OF
the players. under charge Of Ed l1auzan'
went to Mobile and thence up the coast;
The returning players say. that basepali
in Yucatan beats bun fighting for none
tary results The players got their mon
ey in gold, and there were big bonuses
when they beat the southern. leaguers, the
Cubans and the Yucatan players. Ihey
say there is a project under way FOR or
ganizing an American league for another
season. and all of the players who re
turned today have agreed to go PACK an
other season, arriving in November -
Admission to the games runs from o.
cents to $3.50, and the cost of living is in
proportion The greatest point they
brought back with them was. that when
a player kicks at a decision by the UNI
pire he is liable to be Jailed incornnlunl-
cado, and If he is removed from the game
he gets a cell for a certainty, and man
once in jail has a hard time getting out
again, even If there are no charges
against him.

stable.
Keene came here to make further
selections from his racers in winter
quarters at Montgomery park. He will
ship to OalIlawn, and is firmly of the
belief that Radtke can win with almost
anything at Oaklawn IN face of infer
Tor opposition in the saddle.
Keene said that he will take RadtSe
east shortly after the Memphis meeting
closes. He expects the boy to prove
himself another Tod Sloan.
1T is true he has nothing to com
pete against now said Keene, but his
record shows that he has had forty
one mounts, has ridden twenty-five
winners, finishing unplaced but six
times. That represents 81 per cent Of
being perfect, and I don't believe any
other rider in the world holds such a
