JASPER'S LIFE
DESPAIRED OF
ASCOT RACING SECRETARY MAY
NOT RECOVER
in Charge of Isolation Hos
pitaI at Chicago Express Fears
That Prominent Turfman
Cannot Live Ten Days

Reports from Chicago are to the
effect that Edward Jasper, who Of
fciated as racing secretary and handi-
capper at Ascot last season, cannot re-
cover from the effects of the attack
of smallpox with which he is suffer-
ing and may not live through the week.
This startling bit of information is
confirmed by the Record Herald at Chi
rago, which says:
Edward Jasper, former secretary of
the Worth Jockey club, and who for
two years has occupied similar po-
stion with the Los Angeles Jockey
club at Ascot park, is at the isolation
hospital with severe case of small
pox. His wife also is at the hospital,
although it is believed she will escape
the disease. The conductor of the train
on which Jasper and his wife arrived
in Chicago from the west, w. H. Bent
ley, is also at the hospital.
Jasper and his wife were on their
way to Cincinnati to attend the funeral
of Mrs. Jasper's father. Arriving at
the Northwestern station Wednesday
evening, they were detained with Con-
ductor Bentley, until taken to the isola-
ton hospital in an ambulance. Jasper
explained that he must have been eX-
pOSeu 10 lHe ulSedSS DIT lOS AHSCleS,
probably at the race track.
At the hospital last evening it was
said that the chances were against
Jaspers recovery. The disease ap-
parently has been in his system four
days and has gained a strong hold.
DR.. George Mcintyre said the crisis
probably would come in about ten days.
Conductor Bentley's case has not
progressed far. Last evening he had
considerable fever but the physicians
do not regard his condition as serious
as that of Mr.. Jasper.
Jasper is well known among turfmen
all over the country. He was with
the Worth track from the start, and
as recruiting man for its stakes he
Travelled to the various other tracks
in the country getting entries. During
the Worth meetings he fulfilled the
usual duties of secretary, making out
the daily programs and handlcapping
the horses. He also had officiated as
entry clerk at washington park, and
also had held positions with Haw-
thorne.

Buchanan to France

Willie Buchanan, who rode for the
Tichenor stable at Ascot last season and
earned the reputation of being the best
post boy in the business by his alter
ness at the barrier, has accepted an
offer to go to France and ride and
will leave next month for the other
side of the pond. He will ride free
lance. This will not be Bucks first
experience in the saddle on French
soil. as he rode for Vanderbilt's stable
on the French tracks during the years
of 1901 and 1902. He is recognized as
one of the best jockeys in America and
should be an important addition to
the colony of American riders in for
eign lands.

Burns, the champion heavyweight, and

ANGELS BEAT
ST. VINCENTS
FIRST GAME OF SEASON GOES
TO CHAMPIONS
Pennant Winners Are Given Hard RuI
for Five Innings, but Bunch
Hits in Final Strides and
Score Seven Runs

Unofficial was the opening Of the base
ball season yesterday afternoon when
the Angel team defeated the st. Vim
cent college nine by score of to 0
on the college campus.
Although the Saints were unable 10
score, they made the first five innings
a speculation affair among the crowd of
fans who took opportunity of the balmy
weather and filed out to see the con-
test. 1t appeared for a while as though
the college boys would hold Morley's
pets to a 0 to game and during the
first five rounds they were running even
with the leaguers.
Experience and stamina must needs
take it's turn, however, and the anna
teurs went somewhat to pieces in the
final innings, allowing the champions
to rolic in with seven runs and cinch
the game.
There were no special features in the
way of sensational fielding or batting,
though Cravath could not be denied
three-bagger as a reminder to the
collegians that the celery regions were
still in full blast.
Morley had Tozer, Bergman and
Crandall in the box and they were
equal to the task of whitewashing the
Saints and holding them to a five hit
their arms and did not let themselves
out to the limit, fearing the evil re-
suits of too strenuous an effort at this
early stage of the season.
Angels Show Form
Despite the fact that they have been
handicapped in the way of practice be-
cause of the confused condition of the
Chutes diamond, the Angels demon
strated that they have kept themselves
in very fair trim during the winter
months and will not require a long
term of training to reach their usual
playing form.
kitty" Brashear, who returned re-
Gently from the east. was at the key
stone sack and appeared to be in rat
Ting good shape for the opening of the
season.
Phillips, the ST. Vincent twirler, was
very effective during his five innings
in the box and promises to be one OF
the st. Vincent main stays when the
college games are on.
Third base is still open on the Seraph
team and it is a question as to who
will hold down the difficult corner
during the pennant race There is no
one on the present utility staff who is
capable of making a sufficiently strong
showing and a new face will undoubt-
edly appear in the Angel camp before
many days have passed.
There is no possibility of Morley sign
ing Maurice Moriarity, the former St..
Vincent third baseman, as that young
ster is bound by contract to the Oak
land club. The probabilities are, how
ever, that Moriarity will not play pro-
fessional ball. A tempting offer resulted
in his being secured by Van Haltren
while attending Stanford university, but
the collegian has practically given up
the idea of entering professional ranks.

We never have sanctioned this mat

1t looks as if a Kansas editor had
about the same opinion, for in his

for the table: "Clean the carp and
hang it out in the sun six weeks to
dry; then nail it to pine board and
cover 1t with salt or mud. Let ii
stand two months longer and then
