ga aging the most attention of the turf
world today is the condition of j.. R.
Keene's great 4-yearold Sysonby, who
is now in the throes of serious illness,
the outcome of which no man can fore
see. The latest bit of interest which
has leaked out Of the secreted environ
ment in which he is held is that the
scion of Melton-Optimo, whose condl-
tion is watched at home and abroad, is
that he has eczema in its worst form,
and the stories that he has big head
and other ailments is all rot.
. The disease in most malignant form
not only covers his body, but has at
tackled the vicinity of his hoof, and now
his coronet and the frog of his hoof
is in diseased state.
He is CHARTERED at the stable at
Sheepshead Bay, and not at DR.. Shep-
pard's sanatorium, asp has been re-
ported. According to Veterinary Shep-
pard, the great racer, altho in no danger
Of immediate death, will be missed
from the turf for at least a year. The
sore in the frog is especially provoking,
as it discharges quite an amount OF pus;
which will take time to stop, and it will
take quite twelvemonth to get it free
and clean again. Mr.. Keene is quite
relieved that his grand racer will not
be lost to him.

Calumet, Mich, May 12.-Reports
have recently been published to the eff
feet that the teams in the Northern
Copper Country league will exceed the
salary limit this season. AS matter
of fact, such action on the part of any

it desirable. Up to June l there is
no limit to the salary list, but after that
date each team must get down to a
81 900 basis for it's eleven or twelve
man payroll. ~.
Manager P. B. Wreath of Hancock
says his team will not average $1,000 a
month this season, and he believes he
will finish in the first division. Calu-
