More and faster horses have entered
this year in the early close events for
the races at the Spokane Interstate

turned California horses to the North
and gives promise of the finest racing
ever seen in Spokane. The management
of the fair has decided to continue this
racing for two weeks instead Of one as
heretofore. In the2:12 pace z entries
were made, and in the 2:16 trot there
are 10 entries This is several more IN
each event than entered last year. En-
tries closed in these on Mayl 8. Man
ager Robert Cosgrove announces that
$40, 900 in purses will be hung this
year, which is much heavier than evel
before. There will be II days of racing
with six OF more races each day.
There will be 10 day relay race OF
two miles day. Last year the purse
for the relay race was $1,000, and this

CORNER DINNER
(Scripps News Association.)

NEW YORK, Feb. 8. There
will be a gay time when the Breth.
rem of the Amen Corner hold their
annual dinner at the Fifth avenue
hotel this evening. The Brethren
of the Amen Corner are an organ
ization of professional men of this
city and their meetings and annual
dinners are as famous as those of
the Gridiron club in WASHINGTON
D. c., which is composed of the
Washington correspondents of the
various large newspapers of the
country. The Amen Corner din.
ners are somewhat similar in thar
acter to the Gridiron dinners. Poll
ticians of prominence are invited
to these dinners and in a manner as
humorous are mercilessly confront
ed with their sins and shortcom-
ings. From the fact that Governor
Higgins, Mayor Mcclellan, Senator
Depew, Speaker Cannon, ex-Gover-
nor Odell and Charles e. Hughes
have been invited to the dinner to-
night it may be inferred that the
dinner will be unusually interest
ing.

placed in training as early this
year as he was last. The reason
is that he will not be asked to race
early in the spring and that his first
important engagement will prob
ably be the Brooklyn handicap.
Last spring Sysonby began with
the Metropolitan. He was then a
year old, and the weight he had
to carry was comparatively light
for a horse of his speed. Although
he was pounds the best horse in
the race, he only succeeded in MAX
ing a dead heat of the race, dividing
honors with Race King. His poor
showing was due mainly to Shaw's
poor riding and partially to lack OF
physical condition.
James r. Keene, the owner OF
Sysonby, never was satisfied with
the result of the Metropolitan hand
leap, and time and again has shown
his disappointment over the result
by his criticism of Shaw's jockey
ship on that occasion.
But this is not all that has caused
Mr.. Keene to map out a late cam
paign for Sysonby. Aware that his
champions future may be injured
by too hurried training methods,
he has decided not to start him
until well into the season - not
much before the Brooklyn or
Sheephead Bay meetings.

mike Kelly was the grandest ex-

ever wore a spike" said Joe Quinn,
during a recent tanning bee. 1.-THE
stars of today are not in his class,
Kelly was finished product. Kelly
and Arlie Latham were probably
the first players to grasp the posi-.
bilities of the bunt and utilize their
knowledge to the best advantages
in winning games. Kelly was
heavy batter, cutting loose at the
ball with a tremendous swing.
Many times when we needed a hit

OF an infielder playing well inside
the diamond, handling a sharp driv-
en- ground ball are 20 to | against
him. Kelly invented a fake throw
that caught many base runners
mapping. With a man on first base
Kelly would signal the right field
err to play reasonably close to the
bag and then he would make a wild
throw to first base. The runner
would dash for second, only to be
touched out as the wild throw
would go into the right fielder's
hands, and he could easily pass the
ball to second in time to tag the
runner. or course, in time oppos.
Ing players tumbled to the trick,
but 1t worked for a long time quite
effectively.
Another of the plays Kelly de.
veloped worked in this way: With
runners on second and third. the
pitcher would encourage the man
on third to take a long lead. The
runner on second always does so
when there Is man on third. With
the runner playing well off third

would be under the impression that

Like everything else, the base
ball business has improved with
time" said Joe Quinn, the once-fa-
nous second baseman. "The inside

we used to designate it as team
work. has been brought to a finer
stage of perfection. That result
was but natural. There are more
men in the base ball business today
than ever before, and out of this
great number has come many ideas
the best of which are preserved,
while the others fall of their own
weight.
Zone of the best teams of any
time was the old Chicago White
Stockings, piloted by that grand
old man of base ball, Adrian C.
Arson. The White Stockings play
ed as fine inside base ball as any
team ever gotten together The
hit and run game was developed
under the shrewd eye of Capt. An
son. With a man on first, the sig
nal would be given for the hit and
run play. The base runner would
make feint at stealing on the first
ball pitched, the batsman taking a
called strike if necessary to dis
cover whose duty it was to cover
second. Whichever fielder was
covering the base,an attempt would
