THE WORLD OF SPORTS

should remain in the latter's charge.
Watkins developed De Reszke from
an uncertain horse into the king OF
selling platers and won s35. 900 with him
In two years. He knows the horse per
fectly. For that reason Hayman decided
10 permit him TO train the horse indef-
ntely
The New York turfman was amply
repaid for his move De Reszke not only
defeated Lieber. one OF tho best three
year, old colts here but he beat many
other fast horses and won big bets for
Hayman and his friends. AS high as B
to was offered against DE Reszke at one
time, but a post time IL 10 was the
best price obtainable.
DE Reszke won his race easily. Pity
acted as pacemaker for six furlongs, with
De Reszke second Swinging for home
De Reszke took the lead. and passed the
winning post a length In front of Broom
Handle. Lieber was never a dominant
factor I'm the struggle. and finished fourth.
II was a good afternoons racing for
the eastern horsemen, as ]. Carson, OF
New York. and w. II. Snyder won the
second and third races respectively
Ruddy. owned by Carson, was the me-
dum OF the big plunge, and was backed
from Is down TO 10 TO L. Third Alarm,
also well played. won the NTH race at
even money.

IL would only be n portion OF the stock.
1T is true that SAM Harris and George
Cohan tried TO buy the club. but regard
ing the rumor that Hugh Duffy, Collins
and Burkett wanted 10 get control OF tho
local team / have heard nothing from
them personally"
Mr.. Powers stated that Dunn and he
were both actively at work getting play
ers, and that the propects for good
team were bright. Two new sets OF uni
forms have been secured for home games
and use while on the road. The home SUIT
will consist OF white shirts upon which
will be black letter y. and white
"knicks" The caps, stockings and belts
will be black. The travelling uniforms are
OF the same design. except the color or
the "uppers' and "knicks" are gray.
AS TO the spring practice Mr.. Powers
said that Manager Dunn is looking out
for that end OF the work. and II 10
thought that the team will make short
tour In the South. Dunn has proposed a
preliminary schedule but Il has not been
agreed upon as yet by all OF the teams
with which he Is trying 20 arrange the
practice games. IL is as follows April 5.
and Z, with Washington at Washington;
April Q. 10 with New York Nationals at
Polo Grounds; April II. II, with New York
Americans; April IS. Il. with Hartford
club.
Mr.. Powers said that contracts had
been sent 10 all the players OF last year
team. and as the Providenee fans gave
them good reception last year they Will
without doubt sign with this city.
Negotiations for new third baseman
and an additional outfielder are under
way. but as yet there has nothing defi-
mite been accomplished.
II will doubtless be a source OF much
qualification TO local lovers OF the game
To know that Harry Barton. the clever
backstop Of the Philadelphia Athletics.
has been secured from Connie Mack, and
the only step lacking I'm his joining the
local club is Bartons signature TO the
contract with Providence. Two new
pitchers McKenney and Maddor. OF whom
mention has already been made, VIII be
tried out by Manager Dunn.
I'm going TO run this club on fair
and square basis If arrangements can
ba made | will try TO make my residence
for the summer in this city. i don't want
the Providence people to think that I've
got a championship team that I'm going
to put I'm the game right away.
II want To say that the fight for the
pennant this year will be a hard one. and
the team that wins will be the best OF
them all and should feel proud OF its
success. Among other things | have
learned that the Montreal club has just
been sold TO parties | know will do all
they can to put fast team I'm the league,
and one that will make a strong bid for
the pennant"

TEMPERANCE FORCES MERGED
FOR WORK IN THIS STATE

All the temperance forces in this state
are now merged in the work of the Rhode
Island Temperance league so far as the
work OF that society is concerned. It is
not strictly a society because its mem
bers are chosen 10 represent other groups
of organizations.
Each denomination OF churches has
three appointed members In the board OF
trustees and each form OF temperance or
gani2a ation has a representative also.
This union OF forces will be strkingly
eXenpl1ed TO those who notice that at
the annual meeting OF this league on Fri
day. Feb. 2. at Park theatre. Providence
some one who is prominent I'm the sever
al denominations will have a part.
Rev Austin O'Toole. who will speak I'm
the evening is president OF the Catholic
Total Abstinence union Of the state. Blsh-
op McViCksr and Rev. w. r. Williams
arc Episcopalians. Rev. G. A Stenhouse
Is Methodist Mr.. Peabody is a Baptist
as Is Rev. Mr.. Osterhout. Rev. T.. c. Din
wd6ic Is Lutheran. Alderman Daven-
port and Mrs. Jackson are Congregation
olists. Others represent still other bodies
81 that II is evident that the league Is
truly representative OF the entire circle
or temperance forces I'm the state.

TO the captains eyes.

stretched forth the friendly hand and
was made welcome. That was four days
ago. The Reillys wondered how they ever
got along without Bling"

Then she shreked. She scarcely recog-
nized the interior. The rim OF a valuable
vase hung over the gas Jet. Sample sizes
of curtains and draperies were scattered
around the room.

Junk heap. Mrs. Reilly rushed into the
bedroom, observed that the clothes were
missing and In the kitchen found sheets
and quilts hanging over the stove.
In the parlor she spied 'Bing' behind
