there are some who believe the ban should
be lifted against the slow and sociable
threesomes and four-ball matches. Such
contention has been started at the Mont
clair Golf Club and the question Is to be
voted on at the next meeting. In the adj
vance discussion the members seem to be
about evenly divided on the issue.
All litigation has been stopped against the
dealers who have been selling golf balls
made In England on their promise to re-
ship their stock and not to deal in the
foreign goods any more. The American
patentee has obtained signed promise
from each of the dealers he had started
suit against and IN return he will not ask
for judgments against them. Now that the
dealers have thrown up the sponge the club
professionals are following the lead and
Englsh-made balls will probably not be so
common on the links next season. The
right of player to import balls for his
own use, or to obtain them as gifts from
friends, has not as yet been legally deter
mined.

Johnson said last night that Sam ..ex-
patrick had no right to assume that he
was his manager. IT was satisfied con-
tinued johnson, that those big offers they
were telling me had been made were only
phony ones. and that they were only
schening to get me to lose the steamer and
slip Sandy Ferguson over to Australia
ahead of me.
"As for Sandy doing anything to me- why
/ would just as 500, fight him in the street

but when he sees me he does not have a
word to say.

steamer sails, and Mclean might be able to
fix bout between myself and Sam hcVey
when we get to Los Angeles. 1 have made
up my mind to sail for Australia on De-
cember u, as am sure of matches there
while can get none here"
Mclean received a message from Eddie
Keevan last night telling him to bring
Johnson to Los Angeles at once. as he
could get a bout for good guarantee.
Mclean intended to look after his brother
Hugh in the six days bicycle race at New
York this week, but when he found out
what the New workers. were doing he de-
cided to take johnson to California at once
IN order to keep him out of harms way.

past week dozen boats or more have been
taken from the water here and at Alexan-

Rosemont will be taken to Alexandria to
join the fleet that will winter there.
The auxiliary power launch Jennie Stone
has been hauled out for the winter at the
boat house on the Hunting creek side of
Jones' point. Several other Washington
boats are also hauled out there.
The steam yacht Gretchen, belonging to
Mr.. ]. e. Reyburn, has gone out OF COM

CHICAGO. ILL.,. December 11.-Skpper Co
miskey and First Mate Cantillon of the
good ship White Sox got in at o'clock yes
terday afternoon, after exciting trip in
search of big game in the wilds of Arkan-
sas. Each had about 600 pounds of deer
meat on his back. and stopped off at his
home to unload. after which the heroes
came down town. Their purpose in so early
a return, of course, was to be present at the
American League team.
What, no. me lads" shouted the skip
per as he hove into port in his far-famed
Office near Cocktail bay. Back in good
health and ready for the big meeting-sure.
What-trades and deals? Now, on my word,
during the entire trip there was only once
that word of base ball was talked by any
of us. That was one exciting afternoon on
the White river, when a tiger had me cor
nered and was about to spring. Yes,
tiger. Never mind how many white chips
1t took to come in. or how large the kitty
was-tigers are the biggest kitties you ever
saw. What? Tigers don't grow in Arkan-
sas? Say, who fought this tiger, anyhow?
Well, the tiger just about to spring,
and l shouted to Joe Cantillon: If only Ed
Walsh were here to pitch spit ball and
stop the monster; and that was the only
mention of base ball on the whole trip. The
tiger? Oh, yes. Cantillon bought him
drink. and he went away.
ION my word. l don't know of any trades.
deals. shifts schemes. l don't much
care if l never see meeting, excepting for
the pleasure of meeting the boys. OF
course. If there are any opportunities worth
grabbing I'll be present. but I'm well con-
tented to stand pat if nothing really mo-
mentous comes my way"
II haven't framed up anything, said Joe
Cantilon. I'VE were not out for base ball
trades. but to have a good time. All sorts
of big game, excepting that the deer had
been pretty well shot out before we reached
their headquarters. Snakes? l saw a
green one with a purple hat-no. that's my
business, and that climate is Just awful.
II am going to the meeting prepared to
do my best to make good. AS a rule there
is more trading done at the February gath
erings than in December, but there will
this assembly. 1 am open to buy, sell or
trade. II l see a chance to better the
Washington club I'll take it. If 1 don't. I'll
try not to be fall-guy for any one who has
dead ones to work off. l expect to have a
pleasant time with Mr.. Noyes of the Wash
ingtons who ought to get here today.
Mike Donlin, the New York Qutfelder,
blew in today with his wife, Mabel Hite.
Donlin looks well and is most swasgerly
dressed. He does not limp and seems to
have recovered from his broken ankle.
Dop]in thinks the New Yorks will be ma
terially strengthened, but has not figured
out just how. He expects to be right in the
swim with the bat next spring and does not
think the bad leg will go back on him.

new YORK SPORTS
WERE OUTWITTED

BOSTON, December 11.-According to
Alec Mclean there was deep-laid plot by
some New York sports to displace him as
Jack Johnson's manager, the New -orkers
to take the negro heavyweight on the Aus
tralian trip. Failing to win Johnson from
his allegiance, the plan, Mclean says, con-
templated the detention of johnson in this
country, while the plotters were to rush to
Australia ahead of him with Sandy Fer
guson as the star.
The New Workers have been outwitted
and Johnson and Mclean will leave Boston
for Los Angeles, and On December q will
If, on their arrival at Los Angeles John
son can get on a match to take place a
few days before the sailing Of the steamer
he will do so; otherwise he will not go into
the ring until he gets to Australia.
That the New York sports had planned
to keep Johnson in this country was quite
evident. There was not a day passed but
what they had inserted in the papers re-
ports that a big purse mad been offered for
Johnson and Burns, or for johnson and
Ferguson, and three days ago they had
published a note to the effect that Tex
Rickard had offered $4,000 purse for
New.
johnson went from here to New York
about week ago and they tried in several
ways to get him to sign some agreement
that wound keep him in this country.
When Alec Mclean went to New York on
Friday he had to pass himself of as
newspaper man in order to see Johnson.
When he did get to Johnson's room he
found Sam Fitzpatrick, who has been pos
ing as Johnsons manager in New York,
with the negro boxer. Saturday afternoon
while Mclean was at the Madison Square
Garden. Sandy Ferguson appeared on the
scene. Me met Mclean and began to
spout about what he would do to johnson
when he met him, and wound up his
harangue by taking a dagger out Of his
pocket and threatening to cut johnson to
pieces. On Saturday night Johnson went
to the Garden with Mclean to see the
bicycle race. but Sandy did not put in an
appearance as was expected. While John
son was seated in the grand stand he was
invited out to supper and later to take an
automobile ride. but he declined the invita-
tions, for he figured that they were only
part of of a scheme to do him some harm
so that he would be compelled to stay at
home.
Unknown to arr one Mclean and John
son slipped away from Madison Square
Garden late Saturday night and took the

MANY YEARLIN
NOW AT BENNING

Judged by the number Of yearlings that
have reached Benning during the last few
days Superintendent Tom Strahan's list OF
$50 horses to winter here will be materially
increased.
Among the best lockers in these new
arrivals are Wilson Cnamberlain's eight
youngsters from Charlottesville, Va, sir
colts and two flies Of royaf lineage. The
yearlings are:
Superstition. b. c.. by Aldine-Evangeline
Cesnoras.
John Doherty, b. c.. by Fatherless-Lizzie
Truck.
Godchild.
Everard, blk. c., by Aldine-Mabel dor.
Great Khan. AK. c., by Aldine--Artee.
Aldina, b. f., by Aldine-Miss Huntress.
Boat.
=, b. c., by High Order-Gestine.
ALI of these yearlings from the Old Do
minion are fine big youngsters, Everard
tipping the beam at $50 POUNDS.
Aldine, sire of these youngsters, was by
the great ST. Simon, and was imported to
this country in 1903 when a four-year,olo;
He had won some good races IN england
the year before. Standing at the farm or

ended his career. The stallion was only SIX
years old when he had to be killed.
The promise of Aldine's get causes gen.
eral regret at the stations untimeiy end.
But it was a human life or his and his
owner did the right thing by fulfilling the
Golden Rule of mutual protection:
F. T. Miller expects some yearlings mere
shortly from Milestone, N. j., on the old
Fleischmani.- Welsh training farm pur-
chased by the Millers year ago. The Mil
Ter brothers, Fred and George. paid oniy
$4,000 for this well-knewn place. which
cost Fleischmann much more than that
amount for the improvements alone.
At Milestone. besides the 800 acres OF
land, the brothers have at the place the
half-mile training track, two houses and
sixty-five box stalls. Here they broke
close to a hundred yearlings this season
for j. B. Haggin and others.
Over at William Shields barn Trainer
Robert Condor had his hands full look
ing after eleven yearlings tat got in Sun
day from Ja-,aica. Owner Shields has gone
north for a few days, and Condor will not
receive the full pedigrees of the young
sters until he returns. They are good look
ers, all of them.
