AMERICANS PLAY IN

Old Style Game of Many Hits and
Runs Is What the British
Fans Like and Ap=

Special to The Herald.
BUFFALO, Aug, 3.-Ted Everett of
Buffalo, who is managing an amateur
a summer pastime, has written letter
to friend, telling how the great game
Is misplayed in dear old Lunnon. Part OF
the letter reads as follows:
well, the game over here is really
strange, and l don't know just what to
say about it. Americans make up most
of the teams in the British league and
you would be surprised to see some of the
resident Americans who come out to
play. They are as regular as clock
work and play in all kinds of weather
1.-THE weather has been anything but
good for baseball and this has given most
of us old horses stiff legs and sore arms,
and the teams with young players have
had somewhat the advantage. Our team
Is composed mostly of chaps older than
myself, and you know after an illness
of some years it is no cinch to get out
and run bases, throw balls, etc.
"They are trying to make the game
popular over here as a summer pastime.

We played a corking good to game
not long ago, and the spectators didn'
have any use for 1t at all. We had sew
eral good catches, double plays and some
really good fielding, but all of this was
wasted on the yellowhammers.
Following our game came the reserve
team, which ended with a score some-
thing like 50 to SS, filled with hard hit
ting all sorts of running and innumerable
errors. This game was just what the
people wanted and they had a great
time. There are some English football
players and cricket players in the game

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 9-Barney Schneider,
master of Woodlands Farm, fresh from a
brief sojourn among the sports of Man
haitian, spent Saturday in st. Louis, TAX
ing in, as he said, the sights of the city.
He still carries with him his reminder
of the San Francisco earthquake in the
shape of a lame leg, but he has lost
considerable of his avoirdupois, and is
not just now the imposing man, physical
ly, that he used to be.
Mr.. Schneider did not join the specu-
lative circle of the metropolitan circuit,
postponing his activity in that direction
until the Saratoga meeting, In which he
expects to be a prominent factor. Barney
met most of the Jockey club moguls dur
ing his eastern trip and had a particular
ly pleasant interview with James r.
Keene and also with the latters famous
trainer, Jimmy Rowe.
Schneider says that one of the principal
topics of conversation among New York
horsemen is the wonderful showing of the
Keene stable, especially that of Colin and
Peter Pan.
Praises keene's Stable
According to Barney, Keene believes he
has a worthy successor to the immortal
Sysonby in the great son of Commando
and Pastorella, and the Missourian is in
clined to agree with the v. P. of the
Jockey club in this estimation of Colin.
| Keene congratulated Schneider on the
success of Nealon in the Suburban handi-
cap and said he was pleased to see that
Missouri had taken such a forward posi-
tion in the thoroughbred breeding indus
try.
Schneider invited Mr.. Keene to sent
some of his choice mares from the Castle
! ton stud to Woodlands to the court OF
! Sain In order that the turf might be
enriched by the acquisition of more Peter
Pans and Collins
Mr., Keene probably believes that in
Voter and Disguise and Ben Brush he is
as we'll equipped as any one in the matter
of sires, but Schneider Is firm In his con-
viction that Sain is the superior of any
stallion now doing service in this country.
Refused $4,000 Offer
This conviction of Schreibers is shown
by the fact that two years ago he turned
down cash offer of $4,000 for the son of
st. Cert, from one of the most prominent
breeders in the Bluegrass state
There are so many thoroughbreds now
at Woodlands that Schneider has resolved
to make the number less formidable, and
few days ago he shipped carload of
2 and 3-year-olds to Seattle, where they
will be sold to the nlSneSC Dluuer at tue
Meadows track
He has also a number of horses in
training at Butte, and these he will also
dispose of at once Barney left st. Louis
last night for Montana and Washington,
but expects to be back at Woodlands in
ten days.
On his return he will remain at the
farm for about week, when he will
tackle the plungers of the eastern circuit,
until the time'comes round again to go to
the Golden Gate.

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-The case Of An
thony Brown, who overbet himself in the
ring at Brighton Beach to the extent of
$40, 0OO the wagers being recorded in the
name of his employer, Hugh Collins, fol-
lowing only ten days behind similar
case, in which Kid Dreyfuss lost nearly
$50 900, wagered in the name Of DR.. Carlos
F. Macdonald, for, whom he acted at va
rious local tracks, has set the layers of
odds wondering just what kind of
chance they will have in case some ire
sponsible commissioner goes the limit
without authorization. The Dreyfuss
wagers remain unpaid, but in his case no
layer was stung for more than $1,000. The
same is true of Browns bets, but these
will be paid, as Collins acknowledges the
responsibility and declares that he will
make the losses good if he breaks him
self in doing so
The bookmakers are desirous of discov-
ering, however, some method by which
they can protect themselves and lneir
patrons in similar cases in the future.
Many of the big bettors, they say, would
quit specializing on the runners rather
than have to place their own wagers in
the ring, and there is no question in
such cases that an intermediary is neces-
sary. What is desired, therefore, is
method by which the commissioners who
bet for wealthy visitors at the track are
absolutely reliable, but it is evident that
in the cases of Dreyfuss and Brown
chances were taken that turned out
wrong, leaving detection inevitable.
1.-The only real solution of the prob
lem," said a prominent layer, lis to do
all business in cash. doing away entirely
with markers. Otherwise there is always
the risk that commissioners are betting
on their own hook. There is no good rea-
son why cash should not be employed in
all cases, since the men who make marker
wagers are supposed to kave ready money
and to be betting on the nod only as a
matter of convenience. 1t Is problem
that the Metropolitan turf association
could solve without much trouble. Per-
sonally, 1 think any bookmaker would
rather do business in cash than run the
risk of being caught by irresponsible
commissioners as in the Dreyfuss case"

SEATTLE, Aug. &C. w. Willard of
2521 Fifteenth Avenue West was nearly
drowned while trying to land monster
trout in Green river about ten miles
above Auburn. He hooked the big fish
with No. 12 hook and battled with him
an hour before he finally landed him. In
the fight Willard was pulled off rock
on which he was standing and landed in
the cold water up to his neck. The cur
rent was very swift and as the fish was
thrashing around like an enraged whale
Willard had all he could do to keep his
head above water.
The fish measured twenty-nine inches in
length and weighed just ten pounds. 1t
looked like a steelhead and fought like
a game chicken. The line was small
one and had a 10-cent leader, but it lasted
through the fight and Willard was about
all in when he finally landed his prize.
