PRACTICE
"Mugesy" MeGraw's Team Leaves
New York for Los Angeles,
Minus DonIn and
Bowerman

Los Angeles baseball fans are begin
ming to wonder what the local manage
ment intends doing. Yesterday was the
time appointed for practice but Chutes
park did not witness solled uniforms
and preliminary work in order.
Henry Berry was on hand early out
none of the Angels made themselves
prominent. Evidently the fact that Cap
tain Dillon's men are to do the major
portion of their training at Santa
Monica has resulted in some confusion.
Manager Berry had intended having
the men report yesterday but mis-
understanding ensued.
Unusual difficulty is being expert
cnced this season in that players in
every league are demanding higher
salaries than their contracts call for.
Los Angeles appears to be no eXcep-
ton and Manager Berry is now In the
throes of uncertainty regarding some of
his best men.
Pitcher Nagle is not satisfied with his
portion and cries for more. kitty
Brashear and Cravath are also discon-
tented. 1t is highly probable that
kitty" and Gravy will be given a
raise as their performance last sea-
son was consistent.
The coming of "Muggsy" McGraw's
Giants will doubtless be the cause of
genuine enthusiasm. "Muggsy' has
been on the ground for weeks and is
making arrangements for hard pre-
paratory campaign. Workers will fol-
low closely the Southern California
work of their favoriteS. Special news
paper correspondents are coming west
with the team and every man jack of
the squad will have his training ope-
rations reported by experts.
According to New York dispatches re-
ceived last night Mike Donlin, the
great hitting center fielder, and Frank
Bowerman, equally as famous as
catcher, did not leave with their team
mates because of salary trouble. APP
parently there exists internal dissension
among the Giants all of which is very
pleasing to the Chicago crowd who
claim that the double championship
will again come to the windy burg.

NAMES oDoRoUS INDUSTRY
,pecial to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
AUGUSTA, Me-, Feb. 26.-Skunks net
an annual revenue to the state of
Maine of from $125,00O to s150,0OO, ac-
cording to a recent investigation into
the skunk hunting industry. This is
double the amount received from the
honey making industry. Nearly 25,OOO
gallons of skunk oil are produced in
Maine every year and there is wide
demand for it, owing to the curative
properties it is said to have for rheu-
matism and other ailments. The in
creasing popularity of the oil has
caused the price to advance within a
year 81 a gallon, the wholesale price
now being S. a gallon. An average
skunk produces one quart Of oil.
The fur of this little animal is also
valuable, the prices for skins varying
with the fashion. The dark skins are
the more valuable, a pure black skin
being worth from 81 to 81, according to
quality. Three years ago the skin Of q
dark skunk brought from $3.50 to So
! The muSkrat skin has largely replaced
that of the skunk in popular favor In
recent years and forced down the prices
of the latter.
Black skunks are becoming more
scarce in this state on account of their
great popularity, but in New York anC
Pennsylvania there are scientifically
conducted skunk farms, where light
colored skunks are kept for breeding
purposes and the dark ones killed fol
their fur.

MAXWELL AUTO COMPANY
INSTITUTES DAMAGE SUIT
Special to The Herald.


NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-Suit has been
brought by the Maxwell-Briscoe Motor
company against James B. Regan, rep
resenting the Hotel knickerbocker, for
alleged damage in the sum Of $4,000 for
breach of contract The case involved
is an unusual one and the decision will
be watched with interest.
1t appears that Benjamin Briscoe.
who was recently elected president of
the American Motor Car Manufacture
ers' association, made arrangements
with the Hotel Knickerbocker last No
Vember for the exhibition OF two Max
we'll cars on one of the small balconies
on the Forty-second street side of the
hotel.
The exhibition was to have been
made during the week beginning De-
cember 8, 1906, the week of the annual
show of the A. NJ, C. NJ. =. at Grand
Central palace.
The Maxwell -Briscoe company as
serts that several hundred dollarS' eX-
pense was incurred in preparing spe-
cial models for such purpose. When the
cars arrived the management of the
hotel, possibly because the value of
such publicity had been underestimated
by them in the previous arrangement,
refused to allow the cars to be placed.
Since a certain sum OF money had
teen stipulated as payment for the priv
ilege 1t would seem that the company
had reasonable grounds for suit.

Probabilities for Today

The feature event for this afternoon is
the Santa Barbara stakes for 2-year-
olds, over four and a half furlongs.
Carman will start Magazine Martha
Jane and Salover, which will be coupled
In the betting. De Arman will start
Early Tide and Harvel, and Balbus
Will be the Long candidate.
This race should be a good one, as
the horses figure very closely. Maya
zine ran as though short his last time
out, and with Martha Jane the Carman
entry looks best and should beat out
Early Tide and Harvel. The latter is a
good maiden, and with his pull in
weights may beat the top ones. Bal
bus always showed liking for a dis
tance, is a good colt and should be right
there at the finish.
bad lot of ma'dens is carded' TO
start in the first race, the best of which
on figures and form appear to be Rose
mary D., Kitty Mccarthy and Mirabel,
and 1t would be no surprise to see them
finish in that order. Flagstaff and Early
Flower have good outside chances to
finish in the money.
An ordinary bunch of fifteen nom
winners at the meeting may face the
barrier in the second race. Rubinon.
n she is ever going to win race this
season, looks to have the best chance
here. LuCkett, with a good boy i'm the
saddle, should about be second. Piquet
and Allopath look next best and should
fight it out for show. ]. V. Kirby and
Viona have outside chances to finish in
the money.
Line of Life will take a lot of beating
in the third race and if anything does
beat her the most likely one to do it will
be Niblick, as he is good horse right
now. Revolt should beat out Josie's
Jewell for the short end OF the purse.
Linda Rose and Geo. Z. Miner may
prove troublesome.
Stoessel looks to be in soft spot i'm
the fifth race and should win all the
way by himself The dangerous con
tender will be Belvoir. This one at
times runs a good race and he is about
due Mountebank's last race was fair
one, and he should beat out Toller for
third money. Desmages may come to
life.
La Chata looks much the best in the
sixth race and with any kind of good
racing luck should win easily. Maza-
pan looks easily second best and should
beat out TramotOr. Lillian Ayres has a
good chance to be among the first three.

SHIP SUBSIDY
UP FOR DEBATE
REPRESENTATIVES DIVIDED AS
TO BILLS MERITS
Mr. Llttauer Declares Japan Is Obtain
ing Many Vessels and Uncle
Sam Must Protect Trade
with the Orient
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-General
debate on the ship subsidy bill was had
today in the house, Representative
Grosvenor of Ohio opening the discus
sion with brief statement as to the
merits of the house substitute for the
senate bill. He declared that since the
passage of the mail subvention act the
International Mercantile company had
built ten vessels many of them with a
speed of twenty knots.
Mr.. Littauer of New York argued i'm
favor of the bill bearing his name. He
said J.. J. Hill had not a ship that would
come under the bill. as this bill pro-
vldes for 16-knot ships and the Hill
ships have a speed capacity of fourteen
knots.
"The Japanese" he said. "are SUBJ
sidizing their lines heavily, and It Is an
absolute necessity that we do what we
can to keep our trade with the Orient
on our side of the ledger"
If the Pacific Mail, Harrman's line,
should accept the subsidy, Mr.. Littauer
said II would mean the building of at
least one and probably two 16-knot
ships, together with regular commune
cation between San Francisco and the
Philippines.
Mr.. Goulden of New York, in opposi-
tion to tie bill said the American Fed
Grafton of Labor was against the meas
ure, as was the national grange. He
said back In the Forty-fourth congress
there had been charges made of the use
of large amount of money for lobby
ing purposes.
"O.., that's n last years birds nest"
! Interrupted Mr.. Kahn of California.
| Mr.. Goulden, however, declared that
during the years he had been in con-
gress he had recognized the presence of
powerful lobby for ship subsidy.

ton before the rains which postponed
the climb to have taken place on Wash

The rains did not wash the roadbed
to do any damage to speak of and the
repairs are slight. Rolling the road
way constitutes the major portion of
the work being done and the road will
be in better shape than any course ever
used for the hill climbing contest.

are mourning the fact that a stringent

COCK FIGHTING IN
CUBA CONTINUES
BY Associated Press

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-It is ex.
pected that Governor Magoon will refer
to Secretary Taft the question that has
been raised by the Cuban people of the
propriety of resembling the order made
by General Wood when he was military
governor of Cuba, prohibiting cock
fighting in the island.
Secretary Taft had such an ex.
perience as Governor Magoon is now
undergoing when the former was gov.
ernor of the Philippines and although
he was able to prevent cock fighting In
Manila, so deeply seated was the love
of this sport that he was obliged to re-
frain from interfering outside of the
capital.
1t Is said that Governor Magoon may
decide to follow Secretary Tafts ex.
ample in this matter.
