MOVING STARTS IN
RACES NEXT SPRING

NEW YORK, December -7.-Race
horses next season will be sent away
from a moving start. This has been
definitely decided upon by the turf au-
thorities. This move has been under dis
cussion long while, but the advocates
of the system have eventually triumphe,.
and the old system of starting horses
from a standstill will be abolished.
This will be good news to racegoers.
Spectators on the speed of the race
horses abhorred the standing start. That
method would have been all right II all
the horses literally broke from q stand
still, but in seven starts out Of ten some
horses were in motion while the re-
mainder of the held were standing. This
made an uneven start, and the horse that
was moving always secured a big ad-
vantage.
For long time the advocates Of the
moving system of starting have been
trying to secure the consent of the stew
ards to this method. The friends of
Starter Cassidy have always maintained
that his work with the barrier was fully
100 per cent better under , moving sys-
tenn than it was when he sent his fields
away fiat footed. They have now secured
the consent Of the turf authorities and
It will be given a long trial during the
Benning meeting. If it is successful it
will be brought east and adopted on the
local tracks. but il Cassidy's work shows
no improvement over the old style of
starting, the standing method will again
go into effect.

kEENE'S FASTEST
COLT IDENTIFIED

NEW YORK. December 1.-THE fastest
colt in James R. Keene's barn at Sleeps
head Bay has been identified. and turfmen
who in the early fall were marveling over
the trial of the bay or brown yearling
that covered a quarter Of a mile at the
Sheepshead Bay training track in O22
now know the phenomenon as the Dis
guise-St. Mildred colt. half brother to the
only fairly useful horse Knight Errant.
Mr.. keene's fast colt was the sensation
of the season of yearling trials on the
Long Island tracks. but there was doubt
as to his identity. as Trainer James Rowe
tried a number of yearlings, and was so
we'll satisfied that he declined to discrim-
mate. and answered questions about the
wonder by saying he had several fast
ones. and could not be sure which horse
his uuestioners meant.
The interest aroused by the yearling
that galloped the fastest quarter ever
covered by <horse of his age on the
course was intensified by the excellence
of the Keene yearlings as a lot. and in
view of the worlds record set by the
stable in the seasons winnings of $402. 600.

YOUNG ROOSEVELT
FAVoRs BOXING

Boxing enthusiasts have corralled an
other friend for the sport in no less per-
sonage than Theodore Roosevelt, jr.. son
Of the President Of the United States. At
Chelsea, Mass. last week Freddie Welsh
Of England met Dave Desalar, New Eng
lands best lightweight. Lew Bailey, the
boxing promoter. seconded Welsh.
Welsh.
With George NJ. Cohan, the actor, young
Roosevelt sat at the ringside. Like his
father. he Is lover OF fair play, and.
thinking Welsh had been overmatched. he
cast his sympathies with the Englishman.
The Briton fought a splendid battle and
gradually wore down his rival. and by
his clever jabbing and ring tactics had
him helpless In the final rounds.
With Cohan Teddy. jr., visited Welsh s
room at the end OF the bout and asked
to be presented to the Englishman and
his handler. Lew Bailey.
In speaking of the Crimson foot ball
player Bailey said yesterday: Teddy,
jr., is an exact copy Of his father. whom
have seen. You just have to have q.
look into his eyes to see he is thor
oughbred in every respect He is not
big fellow. but he is all grit and action.
HE likes boxing, and he told me he
was learning the game from a former
ring star in Boston. He knows. as do all
who are closely associated with the game.
that 1t Is not brutal, and that cleverness
and speed will always offset pure
strength.
young Roosevelt said he did not care
to see unskilled boxers meet, as it made
it only q question Of endurance and
strength. He never misses q good bout
and one Of his friends told me he was
a fine boxer, and few at college his own
weight could successfully meet him.
President Roosevelt does not restrict his
son in any way. and, considering he Is
the son Of the countrys commander-in-
chief. 1t is a great tribute to the young
fellow that he Is not overbalanced in any
way.
q reason for making that statement. Just
before the star bout was staged the
referee introduced George La Blanche
the old champion, who Is in destitute cir
cumstances.
1.-THE first contribution which fell into
the ring was tossed by young Roosevelt
It was a roll Of bills. I don't know the
amount. nor is 1t likely he did at the
time, because he put his hand In his
pocket, and. without looking at what he
distracted, he gave it. George Conan
quickly followed suit, and the crowd was
not slow in responding.
II asked him what sport he liked the
best and he said: 7 hardly know. They
are all good, and suppose fellow likes
those in which he can excel. The most
benefit is derived from being an all-around
sportsman. One learns by defeats. and II
a chap constantly wins he may become
a trifie conceited over his skill
when the President was police COM
missioner OF New York he never missed
from actual experience that father is a
terrible man with the gloves

the schedule now in force. The new
schedule is effective on and after De-
cember %, and the steamer will leave
here each Monday at 4 o'clock pm, and
will make landings as follows:
Alexandria, Glymont Liverpool Point,
Riverside. Bushwood, Lancasters,

Cintra Mundys Point, Kinsale, Coan,
Walnut Point. Cowarts, Bundicks. Low

On the return trip the steamer will
leave Baltimore every Saturday evening
at o'clock, and will make the above
landings in inverse order, and arrive
here early Monday morning. The
steamer Anne Arundel will be employed
on the route, under the command of
Capt. William Geoghegan. and the
steamer northumberland will be laid
up at Baltimore, unless needed on one
of the other routes of the company.
1t is probable there will be a general
cutting down of the steamboat service

Upton WANTS AN
OCEAN YACHT RACE

NEW YORK, December lin a letter
to Col. David E. Austen, vice commodore
OF the Brooklyn Yacht Club, Sir Thomas
Upton tells his yachting plans for next
summer, and offers to give a 81 600 cup for
an ocean race. which branch Of sailing
he has become much interested in.
He also seemingly sets at rest the ru-
mors Of possibility of his challenging for
the Brooklyn clubs new international cup
by stating that he will race his Fife yacht.
which is now being built, in English
waters.
Sir Thomas was Col. Austen's guest
when here last year, and the latter wrote
him with reference to an ocean race next
summer, which he had said he would like
to see promoted. Sir Thomas reply is as
follows:
mo. 1a6 CITY ROAD. LONDON. E. c.
December 8, 1907.
my Dear Colonel: duly received your
kind letter of the 10Th ult.. and am greatly
obliged to you for bringing under my no
tice the matter mentioned. I shall be de-
lighted to give 1000 cup for an ocean
race under the auspices Of the Brooklyn
Yacht Club, leaving the club to arrange
the details and decide whether the race
should be to Bermuda or elsewhere.
have so many good friends in the Brook
Ign Yacht Club that cannot give myself
a greater pleasure than TO do something
In conjunction with the club for the sport
of yachting, particularly that branch of
it with which the club has been so greatly
and so honorably identified in the past
namely. that Of ocean racing: 1t would
give me very great pleasure also II ]
could personally participate in one Of the
ha ,cy,iN Of II
Ign Yacht Club. and this hope some day
to do. AS perhaps you may know. how
ever, am building cutter of our largest
size over here for racing next year. 50
that my yacht racing will be restricted
practically to home waters for the coming
season. Yours sincerely,
(Signed) THOMAS J. Upton.
col. David f. Austen, No. 81 Cham
bers street. New York"
A meeting Of the international cup COM
mittee will be held at Col. Austens office
this afternoon to agree upon conditions
to govern races for the trophy. and Sir
Thomas offer will also be taken up. AS
the club has planned no ocean contest for
next summer. the annual Bermuda race
now being under the auspices of the Cor
inthian Yacht Club of Marblehead, Mass.
it is likely that Sir Thomas offer will be
accepted and race arranged. A course
around Northeast End lightship of Della
ware breakwater at Cape May has been
as the start and finish could be In Grav es-
end bay. Such race would attract a
great fleet of yachts.
The conditions for the international cup
have not been decided upon. but one likely
will be that challenging vessels may be
of any size less than ninety feet water
line that can cross the Atlantic on their
own bottoms. The barring of ninety foot
ers is courtesy to the New York Yacht
Club, which decided upon such boats to
compete for the Americas cup.

mother and sister, of which "Jiggs" Of the
White Sox is the most notable member,
will have a reunion In the old homestead
at Springfield, Ohio. on Christmas. =
Joe Kelley will play his old position
left field-for the Boston team Clarence
Beaumont will be IN center and George
Browne in right. A nifty-looking outfleld,
that.
Three years ago Arthur Hoffman was re-
leased by the Pittsburg club. Today he is
not even a regular on the Chicago team,
but II is said that his employers refused
to trade him even for Roger Bresnahan.
Chicago White Sox say they were dou-
ble-crossed in deal for Ira Thomas, one
Of the Yankees catchers, who was OBJ
tanned by Detroit. They fail, however. to
say how the double-crossing was accom-
plished.
President Comiskey has set minds at
rest as to who will manage the White
sox next season. The ''old Roman" says
Fielder Jones will again be his field gem
eral, center gardener and chief kicker.
which is regarded as splendid assurance
that the White Sox will be cared for so
far as Jones Is concerned.
With the present force Of Knockers IN
form in Cincinnati. Ned Hanlon cannot
see how it Is possible for any one to make
a success Of the Reds. Many believe that
Hanlon is possessed of Keen judgment.
The Reds are still like a ship without a
rudder.
DR.. Jimmy Casey seems to be crowded
out of his third-base Job on the Brooklyn
team. President Ebbets has secured
Thirdbaseman Sheshan from the Pittsburg
club. who is a younger and better player
than Casey. and now that Mike Kelley has
been engaged to manage the Toronto
club, position that Casey was slated for,
Casey's base ball status seems hard to
establish.
Barney Dreyfus assumes to be dictator
for the Pittsburg, Philadelphia and Boston
clubs inasmuch as he is q largo share
holder in each. but Joe Kelley hguratively
took Barney by the ears and tossed him
when Barney tried to upset the Boston
New York deal Kelly surely had his way.
and he seems destined to become the real
boss OF the Beaneaters.
Ned Hanlon says he has passed out of
base ball and will enjoy life at Baltimore,
which seems hardly possible-in Baiti-
more. Hanlon was the most successful
manager in the nineties, when he led the
invincible Orioles to pennant victories
three times, but he has been on a thorny
path since the American League took
away his stars in the base ball war a few
years ago. Hanlon now says "farewell
10 the game. with no fresh wreath to re-
place the one that crowned his early
achievements.
Manager Billy Smith Of the Atlanta
club says that he telegraphed Clark Crit
fifth three times last summer to grab Pas
kert, the great young outfelder Of the
Southern League. Smith gave Grif six
weeks to get busy and then sold Paskert
to Cincinnati. Griffith then wrote asking
Smith why he did not give the New York
club a chance for the lad. And this same
Paskert is now being touted as another
