DurnelI Out in the Cold.

NEW YORK. December 2s-Edward
Corrigan and Matt ]. VIM, the men who
control racing at New Orleans. must have
received a strong tip that trouble was
brewing for them. because they displayed
a complete reversal of form when it was
announced that Boots Durnell would
not be permitted to race his horses at the
Fair grounds or at the City Park track.
1t was given out by Mr.. Winn that Dur
nell would not be barred at New Orleans,
but subsequently significant letter was
received from New York and the con-
tents of this missive convinced Messrs.
Corrigan and Winn that the Jockey Club
would stand for no fooling. Hence the
reversal.
Although the ultimatum Of the Jockey
Club is not definitely known. from what
has been intimated 1t appears IS II the
racing powers in the east had threatened
to declare the New Orleans tracks in the
outlaw class II Durnell were permitted to
race in the south. and this was taken to
mean that the eastern and western own
ers now racing at New Orleans who raced
horses If Durnell was there would be con-
sidered outlaws. So Durnell Is out In the

Arranging Bowling Glasses

The tournament committee which is
arranging for the coming City Associa-
ton handicap matches. to be held jan
uary 81, held a meeting last night at
the Palace alleys for the purpose Of ar
ranging the matches in classes. and this
was the principal work done.
The bowlers will be divided into three
classes. A. B and c. Class A of, the
individual matches will consist Of
bowlers who have an average1 of ITS
pins Glass B will have to avefage 100
to ITS pins. while class c men will be
composed Of rollers under 100 pins. In
the five-man teams $50 pins as an aver
age was decided on for the A class, 500
to $50 for those in the B class and I'M
der 500 for the c class. In this event
the B men have the privilege Of enter
ing the big matches. The best indi-
vidual bowlers will be paired of to make
up the two-man teams.
A great deal Of interest has already
been shown in this tournament, and by
the time the pins are set UP for the first
match everything is expected to be In
first-class shape, which should make this
seasons tournament the best ever held.

GOING TO RUSSIA.
Radtke's Career Cut Short by Reason
Of High Living.

NEW YORK, December as.-Jockev
Herman Radtke has taken on so much
weight since arriving in California that
he has decided to go to Russia in the
spring for years campaign Radtke
cannot get under ITO pounds now as q
result of high living, which has cut his
career as a Jockey in this country short.
Radtke has been his own worst enemy.
He came east two years ago with bril-
liant prospects, but his behavior got him
into a peck of trouble. He was frequently
suspended by the starter, and was finally
ruled off for suspicious ride on the horse

of Paul ]. Rainey, who had purchased his
contract for S25000. Radtke was finally
reinstated, but he fell into the old ways
and was finally released. The boy was
picked up BY John E Madden and r. r.
Hitchcock but still he preferred the
bright lights of Broadway and Coney
Island, so that he was at last dropped
like hot potato. Instead Of earning per-
haps $4,000 year Radtke is now prac-
tcally penniless. with only few friends
left to help him. He is riding now and
then at Arcadia, but shows little of his old

THE NEXT SEASON
PROSPECTS OF THE DEPART
MENT BASE BALL LEAGUE.

President Merritt O. Chance of the De-
partmental League Of base ball clubs will
send out his call the latter part of the
present week for the annual meeting of
the board of directors to elect officers
and formulate, plans for the season of
1903.
The prospects for lively season in de-
partmental base ball are promising. With
the return of the teams from the War and
Agricultural Departments the games are
likely to be much more interesting than
ever before, for both of these depart
ments wtll enter the diamond with I'M
usually strong mines to represent them.
President Chance says that many I'M
portant measures will come before the
board of directors for decision. Some OF
the questions may mean the life or death
Of the league, but he hopes they will be
settled satisfactorily before the season
opens. There is a strong following who
deplore the use of outsiders on some of
the teams holding that each team should
be wholly and truly representative one
from its own department, and that en-
ployes Of one office not connected in any
way with the department they are play
ing with should be debarred. A team
representing the Post Office should be all
Post ONCE people; Treasury. all Treas
ury Department. and SO on, and that
Smith Of Congressional Library should
rot a team in the schedule. Every de-
partment should be self-supporting IN
the way of furnishing players for its
team is the contention.
Another live question is the place for
playing the games, as number would
like to see the contests played out at
National Park, the schedule being SO ar
ranged as to take in the days when the
league team is away. 1t is argued by
those In favor of this scheme that it
-nr,1l oh ha ri inc
that the receipts from the gate would
pay easily all the team expenses for the
year and would relieve the clerks from
the annual assessment levied each year
to buy un4.orms, balls, bats, etc. They
also argue that more candidates for the
teams would come out If the games were
played out at the park, as 80 per cent of
the players are opposed to the White
Lot because of lack of proper facilities
for dressing and bath after the games,
while they point with satisfaction to
the success that attended the past season
championship games in amateur ranks
last summer. showing the interest in the
sport.
There is some doubt expressed about
obtaining the White Lot as a playing
ground for next year. as Col. Bromwell
in charge of public buildings and grounds,
was very reluctant about allowing the
games to be played on the ellipse OF the
White Lot. as he was anxious for the
teams to use the new playing diamond
in Potomac Park near the new Highway
bridge. 1t will be recalled that last sea-
son it was given out that President Roose-
welt was opposed to the White Lot as a
playing ground for uniformed base ball
teams. but gave way when requested to
do so by strong departmental delega-
ton.
IF this, objection still holds good our
teams may be up against tt says Presi-
dent Chance, land our board of directors
will have to fight for a park with the
authorities"

TO PUNISH BooKMAKING.
Bitter Fight Expected in New York
Legislature.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 2S.-It is ex-
pected that there will be a bitter fight
in the New York state legislature over
an anti-race track gambling bill, which
the Brooklyn League has had drafted
and which will be introduced early in the
coming session of the legislature. Gov.
Hughes has been appealed to by the pro-
moters of the measure to recommend its
passage in his message to be read next
week.
The bill is in two parts. the first being
an amendment to the Percy-Gray law.
and the second an amendment to the
penal code providing for the carrying out
of the provisions of the statutory amend
ment. Section Is of chapter $50 of the
laws Of 1895 (the Percy-Gray law is so
amended as to change thea character of
the crime from misdemeanor to felony,
and to make the punishment from one to
two years in prison or fine not ex-
ceeding $1,000. or both. Section II is so
amended as to provide that any persons
taking or recording, directly or indirectly,

THE DATES FOR RACING
PROBLEM THAT IS CAUSING NO
LITTLE TROUBLE.

NEW YORK, December 2s.-The ia
maica race track is not for sale, and
William H. Reynolds, by virtue of a vot-
ing trust. will remain its president for
the next five years. Thus is dissipated
a very improbable romance to the effect
that James Butler might buy the track
club the Jockey Club If he did not get
good dates. Few who know the intimacy
which exists between the owners of the
Jamaica track and the leading lights in
the Jockey Club. believed the report 1t
meant, if true. that Anthony N. Brady
Hugh j. Grant, P. II. McCarren. the
Sullivans and others who have always
been friendly to the many interests of
August Belmont were to deliver over to
his most persistent racing foe formid-
amle Implement with which to fight.
The only thing necessary at the Jamaica
track to put it on a par with the best
of this country, Is reconstructed new
oval upon which to race. Its grand
stand, clubhouse and field stand are far
beyond the average in convenience and
comfort for the public. But its pear
shaped mile track is the source of much
anxiety to owners of horses, especially
when the fields are of good size. 1t Is
possible to enlarge the track. but it would
cost a lot of money, and just at present
retrenchment is the order of the day, al
though both the Coney Island and Brook
Ign Jockey Clubs are spending consider
able sums Of money in improvements de-
vised a year or more ago.
There is no question that the dates for
1908 are giving the Jockey Club no little
trouble just now. The whole thing could
be simply arranged by cutting off one or
two days from each of the seven associa-

FIRST PITCHED CURVES
FORMER BALL PLAYERS GIVE
CREDIT TO JIMMY BANGS.

The article in last Sundays Star assert
ing that Mr.. Jimmy Bangs of the old
Eagles was the first pitcher in America
to curve a ball has excited great deal
of discussion among the 'old boys" who
are naturally pleased that the credit
should be given to Bangs. even though it
is a rather late day to make the discov
cry.
Mr.. Edward A. Newman, at one time
player of repute with the Waverleys, Ea-
giles and Chesapeakes. declares that
Bangs was certainly the first man to
pitch curved ball, as he often practiced
the art after the accident to his hand.
1.-THE article was correct in every respect
save one minor statement" said Mr.. New
man. Bangs lost the portion Of his hand
not by a cunning accident, but by
Fourth of July occurrence-an old pistol
going off in his hand while in front of the
old building where now stands the Star
Office"
Mr.. Newman also stated that his catch
err Dick Mclean Of the Star force, was
fully aware of Bangs curves, for he was
the only catcher in the District at that
time who could successfully back up his
peculiar delivery, which his adversaries
styled Bangs erratic pitching.
Mr.. Gales Moore, the cashier Of the Ma
tional Metropolitan Bank. was also an
adept at base ball in those old days, ana
he says the statement of Mr.. Lewis Dem
ham, as published, in regard to Bangs
curving the ball Is absolutely correct IN
every respect.
II remember distinctly the first time our
team, the Waverleys. met the Eagles
he said ut was in 1866, and great things
were expected of the contest, as both
teams were confident Of victory. l was
regarded as one of the heavy batsmen of
the Waverleys, and, with my associates,
was loud in expressing what we would DO
with Bangs erratic twisters. Well, to
make the story short, what Bangs did to
us was a-plenty, for he made the whole
outfit look like lot of boys on a summer
evening endeavoring to hit the flying bats
that abound in this vicinity. Why, he
struck me out four times, and l never
could exactly make out how he did 1t un-
til some time afterward I learned he had
a way of curving the ball. Bangs surely
was the first one to do the trick" de-
clared Mr.. Moore, land should have the
credit"
Harry Hardness, or Dutch" as he was
called, another old pioneer Of the game,
says he remembers hearing Senator Cor
man, Joe Cowan, George Fox. Bobbie
Price, George Wright and Billy Williams
talk about the peculiar twist that Bangs
gave to the ball in pitching. and that 1t
was the best practice the old Nationals
could get when they induced Bangs to
go over to their diamond and pitch against
them. 1t was long time before Fox,
Wright and the rest could master the
youngsters curious delivery. And am
sure" said Mr.. Hardness, 'had Bangs
been somewhat older the Nationals would
have enrolled him in their ranks"
1t would appear from these statements
that the claim made by Mr.. Lewis Den
ham, the scorer and historian of the
Eagle club of 1855 and 1885, that Bangs
| was the original curve pitcher is sub
stantiated. and the honor should belong to
Bangs instead of Arthur Cummings.
