HERMANN MAY
NOT ATTEND MEETING

CHICAGO. December 6.-"Garry'' Herr
mann. president of the Cincinnati National
League Base Ball Club and one of the bit
terest opponents Of President Pulliam OF
the major organization, may be unable to
renew the struggle against the New Yorker
because of his health. This intelligence
emanated from the office OF President Muir
ply of the Chicago National League Base
Ball Club. and with 1t wall from the
Cub leader himself.
Hermann Is said to be far from well
and from present Indications it is thought
that the Ohioan cannot attend the gath
ering of National League magnates In
New York next week. This is expected
to prove a disappointment to base ball
fans throughout the country. for besides
fostering enmity toward Pullian, Herr
mann Is said to have completed numerous
plans for changing the details Of the ball
parks in the National League circuit
Il guess the club-owners in the National
League can arrange playing schedule
without knocking out each others teeth
said President Murphy. Perhaps If 1 were
employed by a league with three northern
lake towns l would want to open about
July T."
The Chicago National League champions
have been offered spring dates at New Or
leans, but the dates suggested by the
southern man are not available, the Cubs
will not visit the Crescent city.

OF the American Trotting Congress heat
betting on harness races may practically be
considered a thing of the past, as rule 20.
which provides that every horse in every
heat must be driven up to the finish under
penalty, was abolished.
This practically gives the driver the pref
erence OF winning or losing any heat he
pieases, providing he shows an intention of
winning the race. OF course this liberal
provision will in a measure be modified by
the fact that all races will hereafter end at
fne nth heat and the distance flag be
Drought nearer, as per the provision of the
newly adopted rule, which reads as follows:
In all heat races at a miie over mile
tracks, sixty yards shall; be the distance.
except when eight or more horses start In
heat, then eighty yards shall be the dis
mile tracks eighty yards shall be the d1s-
in heat, then 100 yards shall be the dis
lance
The rule in regard to a licensed starter
which has been in vogue during the iast
season was formally adopted.
The board OF appeals of the association
met Tuesday to consider 200 cases. The
board convened in open session In the morn
Ing and heard from persons who had 1nIor-
nation to offer concerning the cases under
consideration. The open session continued
until late In the afternoon, when the board
went into executive session. Although none
Of the csses considered was said to be OF
Importance, Secretary Knight said the board
would be unable to announce any decision.

aster Is dead in the morgue. and unless
some person will provide for her funeral

died on Saturday in Bellevue, where she
was known as Mrs. Valencia Craig of 3S8
Sd avenue.
On the morning of June Is. 1904 when the
big excursion steamer, abIaze from bow to
stern, turned toward the shore Of North
Brother Island, Miss McManus, who had
been on duty in the hospital all night was
walking along the sea wall, taking breath
of fresh air. When she frightened
passengers leap from the burning craft into
the water she plunged boldly into the river

swimmer and fourteen times she swan

sons.
Honors were heaped upon her for her bra.
very Mayor Mcclellan gave her a certif1-
cate of heroism and Congress voted her a
bronze medal. Testimonials from foreign
rulers were also received by her. One of
these. from the Empress of Germany, was
found in the hospital yesterday.

she was forgotten. Two weeks after the

TO LIST HILL ORE SHARES.
Trading in the Certificates Began on
the Stock Exchange Today.

NEW YORK, December 6.-After the close
of the stock market yesterday announce
ment was made over the ticker from the
stock exchange of the admission to listing
In the unlisted department. Of temporary
certificates representing the Great Northern
ore land beneficiary certificates. Trading In
the temporary paper began today on the
floor Of the exchange. though the certif1-
Gates, even in their temporary form, can
not be issued until the stock books OF the
Great Northern have been balanced.
The admission of the certificates to the
unlisted department Of the exchange makes
1t practical certainty that the ore land
certificates are to be regularly listed in the
natural course of events. The trading In the
certificates when issued" has been carried
on in the curb market since the Hill plan
for the distribution among Great Northern
stockholders of the ownership in the ore
lands was first announced. They came into
the curb market around 91k, and immedi-
ately began an irregular course of f1uctua-
lions ranging from 92A down to 79k. There
was great uncertainty In the street as to
their real value, and the demand for them
was lessened by the uncertainty Of their
position as collateral for loans

ALL SNUG AT
THE BENNiNG TRACK

The departure of James Boden's horses
for Los Angeles yesterday marked the last
Of the New Orleans and California contin-
gents to get under way. And Benning's
equine colony began to snug down and
make everything tight for the winter.
And they had reason to batten up barns
and see to It that everything was made
comfortable, for Tuesdays sudden drop in
the temperature to twenty degrees gave all
hands a foretaste of winter weather, and
covered the east branch of the Potomac
near the track with quite a substantial

practically the whole race course to him
self. AS winter training ground it will
be AL, after, of course, the barns have
been practically rebuilt.
Trainer Jimmy Johnson says that Pierre
Lorillard will send several more horses here
for the winter from Preakness Farm In
New Jersey. where Edward Feakes has
them in charge Some others will also
come from Tuxedo.
James w. Colt will also send several
more horses down here from Geneseo. N.

send Melbourne back to the farm this
week. The colts race on Saturday with

his former efforts and he will be given
a good rest up this winter.

Ernest J. Ianigan, in the Sporting News,
Sas gone to the trouble, now that the base
ball averages have been issued. to compile
figures to show that in long-distance hit
ting as well as in everything else in the
svatting line last year the American
League players showed themselves superior
10 those of the National League. Thus, ac-
cording to the records, the American bats
men made 2,o3S drives for extra bases, to-
falling 500 pillows, while the National
swatters got in 1,S73 wallops for more than
one base, which aggregate 4.4s7 cushions.
In all departments of longdistance hitting
the JohnSontes had a comfortable majority,
having 1o1 more doubles, fifty-two more
triples and an even dozen more home runs.
Cleveland in the American, and Chicago, in
the National, carried off honors for swats
for additional bases, but the Cubs total
was below that of two other Johnson clubs
the Athletics and the Highlanders Ten
ney's Bostons and Jones' Chicagos had the
fewest extra base hits credited to their
dope accounts. The major league teams

OLD GLORY
HORSE SALE OVER

NEW YORK, December 6.-The twelfth
annual Old Glory sale of light harness
horses by the FasigTipton Company came
to an end at Madison Square Garden yester-
day. The grand total for the nine days
amounted to 1924. sos. which furnished am
pie proof Of the strength Of the horse mar
ket. Only twice before has this total been
beaten. In 1901 800 head sold for $499, 1855,
including the Daily and Spier horses. In
1904 the total was $447.1 when Major
Delnar Sadie Mac, DR.. Strong and the ia
nous Village Farm stud were disposed Of.
Last year the total reached $243, $50.
All things considered, this years sale was
even better, as Axworthy, which sold for
s21 600; Sweet Marie, which brought $14 600,
and Dare Devil, which was knocked down
for $9,700, were the only ones which ran
into big figures, while the stock, on three
days. at least, was of kind to bring the
average down and make record figures i'm
possible.
1t might well have been called bargain
day yesterday, and some bargains were Sc
cured by those who had an eye for the best
of those offered. There was a distinct fall
ing of in the attendance of those who came
only to look on, but plenty Of buyers were
| on hand in spite of the fact that the pick
of the thousand or more horses had been
disposed of.

beaten such good ones as Florence Wilton,

TWO FAVORlTES
WON AT NEW ORLEANS

NEW ORLEANS. December 6.-The feat
ure of the racing at the Crescent City track
yesterday was the success Of Missouri Lad
and Glamor that won the third and fourth
races respectively. Both horses have an
unbroken string OF victories here and each
won Its fourth race Of the meeting.
Missouri Lad represents the western
horsemen and Glamor the Eastern owners.
Each typifies the breeding OF the section
II represents. The former Is by Top Gal
liant and is rugged. with great endurance
and courage. Glamor Is a handsome hashy,
fast chestnut fiily more like her dam, Glory,
than her sire. Hastings. She is in every
respect a representative OF the kind OF
horses bred in the east.
Odds-On Favorites.
The two four-time winners were odds-on
favorites and were the only first choices
that managed to win. Missouri Lad went
to the post at 8 to 10. This excellent price
against him, considering his fine form
here. was due to the support accorded DR..
Spruill a colt that has raced here. This
pair had the race between them, but Mis-
souri, Lad was easily better and showed
his opponent the way from start to finish
and won by nearly two lengths.
Glamor was at to in the Odds This
price was exceedingly liberal, as subsequent
events proved. for she made pace ali the
way, was never In danger Of defeat and
won in hand from Rebo.
In the morning hours the dull monotony
of the routine work of receiving entries
and Withdrawing horses in the secretary
office was rudely broken by an impromptu
fight between Charley Ellison, the western
horseman and plunger. and Tim Kiltey, an

Turfmen in Fist Fight.
An old breach existed between the men
regarding some stable trouble and Kiltey be-
gan to abuse Ellison. The big plunger re-
turned the compliment when Kiltey swung
on Ellison with his right cutting the
plunger's cheek beneath the left eye. In a
flash Ellison retaliated with short left
jolt that knocked kiltey down and out.
In his fall Kiltey overturned the ONCE
stove and pipe. Hot Goals and SCOT were
soon scattered over the floor, the bell1ger-
ents and the turf officials. Kiltey was
pulled out of the debris before he was
seriously burned.
Before Frank Bryan went home to get
a new change of wearing apparel he order
ed Kiltey elected from the grounds.
Another rumor Of an impending turf war
drifted into the track yesterday. In Al
giers men who run a half-mile track on
Sundays sent word that they would hold
meeting to decide whether they would
race daily in opposition to the city tracks.
They plan to open free gate. The local
courses are not worrying about the threat

Garth Trained Most Winners.

Billy Garth is the leading American train
er for the season of 1908 SO far as winning
races Is concerned. Garth rolled up the
grand total Of eighty-four winners sent to
the post during the year. But as a majority
Of the races won by him were at the second
circuit tracks, where the purses are small,
he has not won anything like the sum of
money credited to the leading trainers at
the metropolitan tracks. Next year, how
ever. he VIII be metropolitan trainer him
self, and II Roy A. Rainey Is fortunate in
getting the right sort of material, Garth
may make the best of them sit up and
take notice. Eighty-four winners in one sea-
son, with not one high-class horse In the
lot II we except T. 8. Martin, is a record of
which to be proud.
