ONE RULING BODY IN CHARGE

Form One Organization.

New York, Dec. 29.-According to re-
ports received here yesterday there is
every prospect for a season Of great pros
pc-ity on the Western turf next year.
The trouble heretofore with the West
erners has been that they have been
trying TO cut each others threats. The
two ruling bodies in that section OF the
country, the Western Jockey Club and
the American Turf Association. have
fought each other at every opportunity
and their Unseemly squabbles have in
many instances brought down the wrath
OF state authorities on the sport
Now. according to the advices received
here, al this is to be changed. The lead
ers Of the warning factions have recog-
nized the foolishness of their course and
have decided to get together and form
one association that viii have charge
OF the sport I'm their section of the coun-
try.
This viii be the best kind Of news for
Fasteners, for it will keep out Of this
section Of the country a number of West
ern owners who last year took all sorts
of chances To get the money and who
did more to bring racing into disrepute
than anything that has happened 10 the
sport in recent years.
With peace in the West. there VIII be
plenty of racing in that section Of the
country, and the men native to the soil
out there viii prefer 10 stick to their
own stamping grounds. OF course, they
may indulge in their sharp practices. as
usual. but that IS something that will
not interest Fasteners. who will have
enough 20 do keeping tabs on the game

Ask President Hermann of the Reds
for an Affirmative answer. He will tell
you that up TO January / 1907, the Gin
cinnati club viii have invested the sum Of

preceding, and the talent for 1907 viii cost
even more, as second payments must be
made on some Of the new men If they are
retained 10y the local club.
Salaries. railroad fares. and hotel bills
are not the only expenses that a baseball
club has during the season" said Presi-
dent Hermann. The purchase Of new
men IS much greater item than is gen
orally credited. Our books show that from
January !. 1896. up to the present time,
we have expended the sum Of S25.962 for
players. OF course. we Offset this par
TALLY by the sums Of money we have re-
ceived from the sale of Seymour, Hinch-
mann, Carr, Barry, and a few other play
ers early in the season, and Of the bunch
we disposed Of at the recent league meet
ing.
AT the same time our expenditures are
far in excess Of our receipts in the matter
of transactions for players. Then. too,
there are several players on our list who
are with us on condition that they make
good. If they deliver the goods for US in
the spring, we viii be obliged 10 make fur
Their payment for them. Ii they fail to

which we bought them. II is safe 10 say
however, that the total cost Of players

STRENGTHENING THE ORIOLES
Jack Dunn Planning to Plug Up
ShOrtstOp and Third Base.

Baltimore, Dec @-Eyideutlv Jack
Dunn, the new manager of the Balti-
more Baseball Club. is not taking any
chances on the present roster Of the
Orioles. He now has his lines out for a
couple Of good men for the Oriole in
field. Dunn is after a couple Of big
Ieaguers. The chances seem very bright
for him to secure Big Lindsay, who COW
cred first base for the Detroit aggrega-
ton last season. Fred Hunter will be
open for the job, and there viii likely
be some keen competition for the place if
Lindsay comes here.
Dunn will not cover third base for the
Birds, but ne will be found at his old posi-
ton at second base. There was some talk
Of the manager holding down the third
corner, where he played some games for
Baltimore in the American League in
1902 Dunn believes that be is more at
home at second. This is shown by the
fact that he has led the second-sackers
ever since he broke into the Eastern
League. There does not seem the slight
est chance for Roman or James. the new
men, to get the second base berth while
Dunn is in good shape.
Third base and shoTtstOp are two gaps
Dunn viii essay to strengthen. The ORR
DIES have been weak at the short field
since they have been in the Eastern
League. Dunn would ike to get hold Of
some good major league man. and it is
most probable that he will succeed in his
mission. If Scrapiron Beecher decides to
come here next season he looks strong
enough to hold down the base. He played
a good game in the Tri-State League last
season. Mike Lynch and Jimmy Cadiz
are after a chance to make good Lynch
before he was injured in Rochester
played the base, but he was erratic. as
ne was not used TO the position. Lynch
last year played with Cumberland He
IS much heavier now and may be able
to make good. AS for Cadiz. he has
shown up well in the Atlantic League.
but the Eastern organization is another
proposition.

SIGNS FOR JEFFUIEO
Delaney Accepts Terms for
Bout With Squires.
TAKES OFFER FOR $4,000
Fight to Finish VIII Take Place Re
fore BhyOIite Athletic Club in
April If Australian Champion
Agrees-Latter May Decide to First
Battle with Jack johnson.

New York, Dec. "a suffering sport
ing public will no doubt be somewhat re-
leVed TO Know that Billy Delaney, acting
for James j. Jenries. has agreed 20 cut
the wranglng short by accepting the
terms Of the Rhyolite Athletic Club. Of
Nevada, for a finish nght with Bill
Squires, the alleged champion Of Aus
traIia
After thinking the matter over care
fully, Delaney has evidently come n tle
conclusion that bird in the hand is
worth two in the bush. and that instead
Of waiting for other Nevada clubs 10 bid
for the match it is good policy to nail the
Rhyolite offer Of $4,000 while there is a
chance. Jef wanted 10 hold back for
more money, but Delaney. realizing that
10000 was ridiculOusIy large purse for
a one-sided mill, waived the big champion
aside and signed articles Of agreement
prepared by one OF the Rhyolite promot-
ers. BY these articles Jen agrees 10 fight
Squires to a finish some day in April with
five-ounce gloves under Marquis Of
Queensberry rules. the referee to be
chosen by mutual consent. The articles
also contain a clause which allows
Squires 70 charge expenses for himself
and trainer to and from this country. The
purse is TO be divided 90 per cent 70 the
winner and 20 per cent TO the loser, as
requested by the Australian
A cablegram was sent 20 SqUires to-day
setting forth the fact that Delaney and
Jeffries had accepted the terms and that
it is up to the Australian 10 wire that the
match IS satisfactory. Squires was also
instructed, sail from Australia for San
Francisco on January 2S All that re-
mains, therefore, is SQuiTes signature 10
the articles, which he may affix when he
arrives here. But in the meantime some
persons may reach SqUires with the tip
that he would fare better by first fighting
the winner Of the Burns-O' BTien fight, or
by taking on Jack Johnson, IN when case
Squires, if he should pay heed 10 such ad-
vice, would put JEFF and the RiyOlite peO-
pie up in the air.
JEFF is coming in just now for scoring
because he has declined to meet johnson.
As matter Of fact. no club has ever
made an offer Of a purse for such r bat
tie, and there seems to be no desire among
the various fight promoters 10 consider
Johnson at all. To accuse JEFF of coward
ice for drawing the color line En- Johnson
is apparently d case Of malice pure and
simple
