ADVANCE TALK
OF BASEBALL.
Amusement Company Said TO be
Planning to Give the People
The Real Article.

While nothing definite has vet been
given out in regard to baseball in this
city for this season, it is understood
that the Perth Amboy Amusement
Company is making great plans to
give the fans one of the best seasons
in baseball that they have ever had.
A NEWS reporter learned that
crack Y. NJ. C. A. baseball team of
Trenton, and if certain differences are
settled it is almost certain that the
members of that team will wear the
suits of the Perth Amboy Amusement
Company in this city this season for
Sunday baseball games.
If the Factory Baseball League
does not organize for this year, as it
is almost certain they will not do, the
Amusement Company will put in the
field a team to play Saturday after
noon baseball. This team will be
composed of a number of local and
some out of town players and will
be one of the best teams in the coun-
ty. They will play fast ball and only
with good teams.
The Amusement Company's aggre-
cation this year will be composed of
about twenty members and each one
is going to do all that is possible to
make baseball a success. 1t is almost
certain that John Kelly, former man
ager of the crack Crescent baseball
team, will be the man behind, in the
management of the Amusement Com
pany's teams this year.
1t is known that the Amusement
Company has held a meeting and
plans to give this city the best of
baseball possible have been talked
over and within a few weeks it is ex-
pected that something well worth
knowing will be given out by those in
authority.
In speaking to a NEWS man about
Sunday baseball, a nan who has fol-
lowed the game for a long time said:
This is an advance time, and the
people demand many things, among
which is baseball, and if they do not
get it in this city and right up to
date, they will go to other cities
where the game is played"
This fact vas clearly proven last
year when the local teams did not
put up the games they were expected
to and the crowd journeyed to Rah-
way Sunday after Sunday. Sunday
baseball" the speaker said, brings
no harm to a town, but a great deal
of profit"

turf. Both Ormonde's Right and Or
mondale are youngsters which have the
indelible stamp of the Ormonde blood
lines in their physical characteristics.
While reference is being made to
horses of the 100000 type it is not out
of place to call attention to the fact
that James r. Keene was quoted dur
ing the season just finished as having
refused an offer for Sysonby of $780,
900. Judging the colt by what he has
done on the track, his years and his
performances and breeding, there are
few who would positively affirm that a
sum sc great is an exaggerated esti-
mate of his worth.
There is another stallion owned in the
States which was sold on the
block for more than S%50.000-in fact,
Just $1,000 more than that sum. Med
der, purchased nominally by Matte
.orbett, is in reality the property of
Clarence Fl. Mackay. Though an older
than some of the sires which
command more or less attention. he is
still a splendid animal. and there are
many turfmen who believe him TO have
been a great bargain even at SOL 1000.

Fortunes For Horses.
Wafercres5, Hamburg, Flying
Fox, Ormonde and Meddler
Commanded Immense Prices.

When the great thoroughbred racer
WatercresS was sold recently to ]. B.
Haggin after spirited bidding had
raised the price Of the horse TO ST.
OOO there were not a few whose mem
cries led them back to the last public
sale Of consequence in New York when
Hamburg was sold to Harry Payne
Whitney for $4,000.
One man at least was identified with
both sales. for it was Mr.. Whitney who
forced the price Of Watercress to ST.
900. The owner of Hamburg was anx-
ious to possess N'atercress, but he was
no more eager to claim the horse as
his personal property than was Mr..
Haggin. who finally bought in the
turf star. Horsemen are wondering just
how far Mr.. Haggin would have gone
had Mr.. Whitney chosen to press the
issue. Knowing the temperament Of
the veteran breeder and his desire to
retain Watercress for Elmendorf. his
Kentucky farm. it is within bounds
to imagine that Watercress might have
been a 100000 prize if Mr.. Whitney
had chosen to remain in the lists
against his older rival.
The greatest sum of money ever paid
at auction for a horse vas S1ST 600.
The horse bought was Flying Fox.
Even in these days of great horse val
ues the investment of this amount in a
single animal cause admiring wonder
ment. The horse was a Derby winner
and was much admired by NJ. Blanc,
the famous French turfman. who deter
mined that he would possess him. and
as often as the bid was raised NJ. Blanc
raised it in return until the auctioneer's
hammer descended for the LAST time
and announced the colt sold.
Unquestionably the most sensational
sale in the United States was that of
st. Blaise. the gem of the stable of the
late August Belmont. Charles Reed.
then a prominent turfman and an en-
thusiastic lover of thoroughbreds. had
determined upon owning the horse
when Mr.. Belmont's stable was disin-
tegrated. He never finched as the
price mounted toward a small fortune.
and finally his bid of an ever 100000
retained the great sire as his personal
turesome to the point Of foolishness,
but it was never learned that he regret
ted his purchase.
Another horse that brought an almost
fabulous amount was Ormonde. for
which w. O'Brien McDonough is re-
puted to have pair $4,000. The stall
lion is still alive in California. and of
recent years his progeny have begun to
show marked ability on the American
