VICTIMS OF THEIR OWN ACTS
Elberfeld, Stovall, and Delehanty
Furnish Lessons for Youngsters.
Players Who VIII Not Do Their Best
should Be Driven Out of Major
League baseball.

The way Of the transgressor is hard
even in baseball. There are three players
set down so far this season because of
their own foolishness. What is more,
some OF them may be put out Of organ
lied baseball.
There is no use fighting the big league
mOguls and baseball owners who do all
they cansto treat ball players right II
means a whole lot to them to have a good
bail player on good terms with the club.
and the majority Of owners in baseball
generally appreciate their good work and
overlook lot Of things during a playing
season.
kid" Elberfeld, Frank Delehanty, and
George StOvau are the three players who
have been set down. All three are known
among the fans TO be Of the first class as
ball players.
In Delehanty the Cleveland club had a
player who had just broke into the big
league, and locked ike the making OF a
good player, but reports say he could not
keep away from under the saloon signs,
and was sent home-suspended.
George StovaI, the CIeveland's first
sacker, one Of the best in the game, and
who has been In the big league for three
years, was just beginning a good baseball
career. He. too. is on the shelf. Accord
ing TO reports from Cleveland. Delehanty
and Stovall will be sold TO minor league
clubs, and put out Of major league base
ball.
Norman Elberfeld, who is considered by
baseball players and managers to be
among the topnotchers as shortstops.
has been suspended because he did not
give the New York club his best services.
The Kid had some sort of a crouch. Il
was all his fault and he has no one to
blame but himself for his actions. The
fans would Ike to see him back I'm the
game if he is the same old Kid. but it's
a case OF you can go and be forgotten
There is sure to be some one come along
who will do the job just as good, If net
better.
Elberfeld was a mighty handy man 70
have around. He is one OF these brainy
ball players. When he was suspended he
was hitting close 10 the 800 mark
It does a ball player no good to be idle
Take Amos Rusie, when he sat on the
bench for two years after being sus-
pended. When he did get back in the
game he was not the great pitcher he
was, and no club seemed TO want him.
This may be the same case with the three
players now suspended. Let US hope il
does not turn out this way

MEETING OF UNITED HUNTS
What HOrsemen Of Maryland Hope
to Accomplish.
EncOuraEement for Owners to Train
Prospective Winners and Then TO
Breed More OF Them.
Special to The Warrington Herald.

Baltimore, Aug. 10.-Preparations for
the meeting at Pimlico. August . to
September 2 inclusive, by the United
Hunts Of Maryland are going on in an
encouraging manner. and II IS expected
a large number OF good horses will be on
hand 10 take part.
This innovation of the hunt clubs CON-
bining 70 give n high-class race meeting
has attracted attention in the South.
Owners and those interested In horses
there, especially IN Virginia. have had
but little encouragement TO raise 1orses
for fat or stecplechase races. Now and
then a practical breeder OF a novice
would breed a horse from good lineage.
and # woulG. after showing merit. sell
for a good price Many more Of these
prospects were sent 10 the bush meeting
or plow without having had proper atten-
ton in the way OF training In a one-day
race meeting the local owners would
quickly decide that known horse out
classed theirs. and the horse or horses
/ they owned were not worth the chance
and expense OF being given a thorough
schooling
BY a uniting of hunt clubs. and the
giving Of i meeting Of several days dura-
ton, as the United Hunts of Maryland
will do. condition is brought about
which will stop the selling Of a prospect.
and encourage the owner % train IL and
race it. Virginia and other States will
probably follow the scheme OF the UniYsd
Hunts Of Maryland.
That the United Hunts Of MARYLAND in
deciding to give a four days meeting was
wise move has been proved by the com
mendation il has received.
The programme containing the con-
ditions Of the race meeting to be given
by the United Hunts Of Maryland have
been mailed 10 those interested In the
I horse In many States Especially have
they been sent TO Maryland. Virginia.
West Virginia, and Pennsylvania breed
ers. where the cross-cOuntry element is
most strongly represented
Two Of the races that are exciting more
than ordinary interest among gentlemen
riders are the Herford and Turner Cups.

other at one mile and a half
These events, both on the fat, promise
10 be keenly contested. and riders from
out OF town are expected 10 take part. as
well as the pick Of the local men.
One Of the attractive features OF the
meeting is the fact that open betting only
will be allowed. That is to say, that any
reputable bookmaker will be permitted to
do business on payment OF the necessary
fee This is the method employed at the
leading tracks
