Turf Notes
JOCKEYS HARD LOT.


The frequency with which we'll
known jockeys are suspended or ruleu
on for alleged crooked riding leads
the general public to believe that
horse-racing today is bad game. In
many ways 1t is, but we have no doubt
that large part of the suspension
business Is unwarranted. The fire.
quency with which jockeys are set
down Is largely due to the fact that
betting Is the backbone of horse racing
In America today. When a we'll known
Jockey Is up the public rushes to back
the horse he is riding. If he loses he
is blamed unreasonably by the horde
that lost its money IN his mount.
A great many of the race officials
are swelled up with their own import
ance and love to pose as protectors of
honest sport. and they feel called up
on to make great showing every now
and then by laying down a Jockey.
There are, no doubt. times when
Jockeys do not try to win. There are
dishonest riders as there are dish6n.
est men in other professions. But
nine times out of ten, the jockeys are
doing their best to win, and when they
lose they suffer more than the public
does.
The racing public is extremely
tickle, and they laud a rider today,
only to damn him tomorrow.
Between an unreasonable and fanat-
ical public and lot of gallery-play-
ing officials, the average Jockeys life
Is not always the pleasantest.

Football

Backers OF the Maroon and Gold
this year will be content with nothing
less than national honors. and for the
first time in her history Minnesota
will have every opportunity to estab-
lish a claim to the championship of
both the east and west.
Victories over both Chicago and
Carlisle would place Minnesota on at
least an equal footing with any team
in the country. and football enthusi-
asts in every nook and corner of the
state are eagerly looking forward to
these two big games.
There is possibility that the game
at Minneapolis with the Indians may
turn out to be a contest for the cham
pionship of the country. The Indians
play Harvard in two weeks and then
come out to Minneapolis for a game
with Minnesota.
II Carlisle should beat Harvard,
which seems quite possible, and Yale
could be eliminated by some means,
the Indians would probably have the
best claim to the title of champions
Of the east. Then. IL Minnesota should
win over Chicago, the game with the
Indians at Minneapolis might be con-
strued to be for the championship of
the country.
With the season hardly more than
started. the fight for the western hon
ors has narrowed down to three teams
Chicago, Minnesota and Michigan
In spite of faculty efforts to abolish
a struggle for the championship.

club is not known. Jut the man who
bought the club something like two
months ago pocketed clean $4,000
as his profits, so the price must have
been worth while.
Even a casual glance at the finan-
cial side of the American sport shows
that it is one of the greatest business
es in the country today. In fact, l,
is so big that II has its own way of
transacting business and its own rvle>
and regulations for handling the finan
cial side OF the game. Just how much
money is tied up in baseball at pres
ent. how much is taken in and paid
out and what the salary lists of the
country amount to, it is impossible to
say. but the figures run high.
Take the big Leagues which are at
the top of the list. Rough estimates
place the average salary list of the
this is true. it means that the sixteen
clubs in the two leagues spend some
thing like $4,000 year in salaries
to players alone. This does not in
clude the money spent for the pur-
chase OF players. which will come
close to averaging $4,000 alone. That
means $4,000. and. cutting of big
chunk Of this. there is still lot Of
money left. What it costs to run a
park during game it is hard to say,
but gatekeepers and park employees
run up good figure, outside of Incl
dentals. In addition to this. there is
ground rent to be considered and in
terest to be made on stands and fix
lures. One hundred and fifty thous-
and dollars is low estimate on the
amount each club is incorporated at.
and. taking everything into consider
alton, the financial end of the game in
either the American or National lea
que cuts into the 100000 mark.
When the minor leagues are reach
ed. the latter make up for any de-
crease in the money each club pays by
the number of clubs there are Three
of the minor leagues are in class A.
and these three rank we'll up with the
major leagues in expenditures and
value of property controlled. The Ma
tiOnal association OF Minor leagues
has something like thirty odd leagues
under its care. and these run all the
way down from the class A teams to
classes c and d. What the clubs en-
pend can OF be figured out. but it must
be something big. Furthermore, since
the association took charge. the base
ball business has become as safe as
banking. For the past two years not
a club under the care of the associa-
ton has failed to discharge its obi
cations in the way of paying salaries.
and a players contract is pretty near
worth its face value. Even with such
disaster as the San Francisco earth
quake, the Pacific Coast league pulled
through and is on as sound a footing
as ever.

tons in connection with the Cleve-
land and Detroit teams look almost
laughable today. Cleveland's fran
chise and players could probably not
be secured for 100000 today. and De-
troit would cost almost as much. And
this would not include grounds or i'm
provements of any kind. Boston's Ma

because the railroads wanted them for
a yard. Since then the railroads have
found other property and are not in
the market for the grounds at any
advance over their market value. The
latter are situated in a manufactur-
ing district, and the property is not
high priced. The improvements on
the property are not new and not not
ably costly for ball park. Possibly
the grounds and stands are worth
$125,000. That leaves clear $125,000
the men back of the club are paying
for the privilege of playing baseball
in Boston under National league rules.
AS to running club on a $4,000
capital at present that would virtu-
ally be impossible. Cleveland at the
time Mr.. Robinson had the club there
in the American association, was pay
ing as good salaries as any team in
the league. Yet the salary list for
an entire season did not run above
$4,000. Twice that sum might cover
the salary list of an American asso-
citation club at present, and 1t is prob
able that some of the clubs go con.
siderably higher. In comparison with
the price of the Cleveland franchise
in the American association, there is
the sale of the Minneapolis franchise

Spriiniing

One noteworthy thing that the re-
cent cinder path season demonstrated
was that the trip the Manhattan Ar
gonauts took to the smiling isles of
Greece. where they covered them
selves with glory by winning the pre-
mier honors for Uncle Sam, did not
benefit them from hygienic view

most to a man the members of the
team showed the Ill effects of their
journey.
Harry Hillman. the great and only
Harry. was far from his true form all
through the season. Though he won
the hurdle championship, he failed to
capture the quarters, events which
surely would have been his had he
been right. Harvey Coin ran we'll for
while after his return, but suffered
an early breakdown.
Jim Sullivan, though he trained
faithfully, could not get anywhere
near his old-time form. Howard VAL
entfne was forced to see men beat him
to whom he could easily have shown
his heels when in condition. William
Schick. the man who dlu 0:O9 AS /.

novice at the summer meets. Paul
Pilgrim, double winner at Athens,
tasted the bitter dregs of defeat many
times during the outdoor year in New
York.
Charley Bacon was in decidedly
poor health. Meyer Prinstein could
not jump anywhere near the right dis
lance. Mike Spring did not win
contest, and Billy Frank did little bet
ter. Jim Mitchell did not enter CON-
petftion-he was WISE Lawson Rob-
ertson did not compete up to his form
and John DAILY. who represented Ire
land in the Olympics, was far from
right after his advent in this country.
Martin Sheridan and Ray Ewry were
the only athletes that competed in
their true form, and it is doubtful, If
Ewry had not confined himself to con-
tests few and far between, he would
have made the showing that he did.
Sheridan suffered from the leg he in
jured at Athens-and on all through
the year. He owes his luck to endur-
ance and remarkable constitution.
Then, again. he does not use as much
energy in competition as most of the
men. He enters the contests in a sDir-
it of play and seems to take the whole
affair as huge joke.

Prize Ring

Jimmy Gardner. who has been on
and of a number Of times in regard
to matches. seems to have at last
landed one. He has been matched to
meet Jack Dougherty before the Tri-
City Athletic club of Davenport, Nov.
Is. Dougherty certainly should keep
Jimmy busy for time at least, and
despite the latter's beatings of late
should make 1t good bout.
There has been considerable flirting
by the manager of Joe Thomas for a
match with the weller. Tommy Ryan
was approached and said he was will
ing, but the latter's manager insisted
that the inducements would have to
make noise like $4,000 before he
would sign any papers. This appar-
emily the Frisco promoters were un-
willing to do, although an offer of
$500 came back.
1t seems now likely that Thomas
will meet Mike Twin" Sullivan If the
men can agree on weight and the d.
vision of the purse. This should make
good tryout for Thomas, who every
body on the coast thinks is the real
conner among the welters.

ton predict for him a brilliant future

bouts, and out of each has come with
flying colors. Many blamed his man.

speedy and scientific boy as Attell,
but it seems that he acquitted himself

After much haggling, it seems as If
Marvin Hart and Mike Schreck will at
last come together. Through some
Industrious work of the press agent
it has been announced that the two
are bound to meet before the last of
the month. The Kalamazoo club has
raised its offer. and Hart has accepted.
Schreck is always willing, and it real.
ly looks as If Marvin and Mike would
have 1t out before 1t gets too much
colder.
1t seems the Gans-Herman match
has been closed now that Tonopah,

offer. Both Los Angeles and San
Francisco have been after the bout,

regions of Nevada has been able 10

Another marvellous exhibition of his
ability as an 1872 balkline billiard ex-
pert was given last night by George
Sutton. of Chicago, who won the
worlds championship from George
Slosson two weeks ago. Sutton was
playing Thomas Gallagher. the vete-
ran. in a 3OO-point game at Ora Morn

his fifth inning. with the remarkable
run OF 234. Gallagher's total was

Hoppe in the big tournament last
spring. when he ran out his 500 points
in five innings, making the worlds
record average OF 100. His run of 234
in that game is his own record for a
match game. His average last night
was GO. After Sutton stopped play the
crowd pleaded with him to go on and
see If he could equal the worlds rec
ord of 307. Sutton again took up his
cue and continued to his 25Oth shot,
when the worries were collected close
together. He tried short draw,
which would have succeeded had he

Chicago, Nov. 6.-James Callahan,
former manager of the Chicago Amer
lean baseball team, and during last
season manager Of a local club, has
today filed suit against the Chicago
American league club, asking damages
in the sum Of $4,000. alleged breach Of
contract. Callahan's attorneys say
when the suit comse to trial they will
show that the American Baseball
League is as much trust as the
Standard Oil company.
That the increase in baseball values
has been something phenomenal and
has more than kept pace with the in
crease in other values in this country.
is proven by statement made by
President Stanley Robinson during a
conversation last week. Two of the
clubs now in the American league.
Detroit and Cleveland. are the ones
to which particular reference was
made Mr.. Robinson and his brother
first became interested in baseball at
Cleveland, when they were in the
street car business. Baseball was but
side line. to act as feeder for the
street car business.
1t cost something like $4,000 to
float the Cleveland club, which was
then In the American association. The
club did not prove paying investment
and the other stockholders dropped
out until the Robinsons we're left to
hold the bag. Before they got tired
of doing this latter they were in some
thing like $4,000. Then they con-
cluded that Cleveland was ripe for
major league baseball, with higher
price Of admission. Detroit was on
the market, and the franchise at this
point was bought at a cost of 81, 1000,
this, of course, including players con-
tracts. The next move was to ST.
Louis. and it cost them bunch Of
money to get in here, even with the
club in bad shape financially.
