BELMONT UPHOLOS
GAME IN GOTHAM
One = Man Power All That
Keeps Turf Racing Alive
at Present Time.
BY J. S. A. MACDONALD.

How long will racing last in the state
of New York; This is a question asked
every day within the hearing of almost
every racing man, and, l might say. il
hits the nail upon the head. so far as
sounding the subject uppermost in the
kinds of turfmen at this precise moment
The fight between the Jockey club and
Jim Butler, promoter and preceptor of
the Empire City course at Yonkers, N Y.
brings out the cry in effect that the two
factions will cut themselves to pieces, but
at the same time the turf will also suffer
humiliation. The best answer to the
above Interrogation is that so long as
August Belmont lives, so long will racing
about New York exist.
There never was a better example of
"One-M an-POwer'' than that afforded bv
August Belmont chairman of the Jockey
club, and the Upbuilder of the sport in
this section of the country. He is not
only one of the real great money factors
of the world. but Belmont, unlike j. p.
Morgan, the Vanderbilts the AstorS, and
other great financial units, is as potential
a politician. either In state, municipal or
national politics. as one may discern upon
the horizon of worldly affairs. When the
chairman of the Jockey club financed
Judge Alton Parker's presidential cam
paign we caught glimpse of his hand In
the main he is the foremost silent politi-
cian'' in the country today. Though I'M
heard he is none the less effective BY the
power of his influence and money. August
Belmont controls the New York state leg
lSlature with the same volition as the
man with his thumb on the electric push
button operating a mesh of machinery
He won't see harm come to racing When
he dies, how then? At this time there is
not an individual anywhere who can gain
the lock hold on affairs a Albany n. Y
possessed by Mr.. Belmont. Chaos is sure
to follow the moment the lines of con-
troll fall from his hands.

.HYLAND TO MEET MURPHY
Fighting Dick Ties Up With the
Toughest Proposition IN
New York,

Fighting Dick Hyland has been matched
with Tommy Murphy; the best in the
west and the best in the east, says Bob
Edgren.
Here at last Tommy will meet one Of
the great little men of his own class, and
we will see whether or not he is really
the wonderful little fighter we have
thought him.
Tommy has whipped many famous
fighters, but most of them had already
begun to slide back. Tommy only pushed
them down the hill a little faster. In
Hyland he will meet one of the greatest
light-weights in the world-a boy of his
own age and greater experience lad
who is at his best right now.
The terms Of the match call for catch
weights. Murphy will naturally weigh
Just about the lightweight limit-133
pounds. He may come a shade under it.
Hyland will weigh between 12S and 49,
There is but slight difference between
these little fellows. physically. Murphy
is half an inch the taller. Hyland may be
an inch broader across the shoulders He
is broader. There's no doubt of that.
He's the broadcast little fellow / ever saw
and he wears sixteen-inch collar that
pinches his thick neck like new No. 9
shoe on a No. II foot.

NEW SCHEME To
HELP HITTING
Jimmy MCAIeer Thinks Batters'
Box Should Be Made
Larger.

While Fielder Jones, leader of the cham
pion White Sox, has been CARRYING on
MS campaign against the "sDitball' it
remains for Manager Jimmy McAIeer to
suggest a practical remedy for not only
this, but to increase the batting as well
II Is nothing more nor less than increas-
ing the length of the batterS' box and
giving the batters more room in which to
maneuver.
At present the batters' box is six feet
long and four feet wide half of il being
in front of the plate and half behind
McAleer thinks that an extension of two
or three feet on the front end of the box
would help the batter along a lot with
out in any way interfering with the pres
ent arrangement of the game. This would
give the batter a chance to run on the
pail and hit either a Spitball, curve or
break before the latter had a chance to
deviate from a straight line. Under the
present rules II a batter hits ball while
out of the batters' box he is called out
Most batteTs now stand close into the
plate or on a line with the center of it.
in order to judge whether a ball is over
or not. This gives them only the part of
the box in front of the plate in which to
move, or less than three feet. Even a
good, long stride will take a batter over
the front line of the box. The after
for most batters.
With even two feet more added to the
front of the box a batter could get run
ming start at the ball and hit it before
there was a chance for. break.
The idea of the batters box is, of course
to prevent the batter from getting on top
of the pitcher, or interfering with the
catcher. but neither of these objects
would be endangered by frightening the
box a couple of feet. All told. it appears
been offered in the way of helping out
the batter.

JOE THOMAS MAY
TOUR AUSTRALIA
Manager of Bill SquireS Wants
to Take Real Fighter
Over Water.

Joe Thomas, the crack California well
ter-weight, is in big demand these days
He has been offered a match with Joe
Cans by Manager Jim Coffroth and the
negotiations are still pending. In addi-
ton to this Los Angeles promoters have
offered him a match and other club man
ayers are anxious to engage his services.
Possibly more important than all these is
the proposal of Barney Reynolds. who
came to this country as the manager of
Bill Squires. Reynolds has asked the
weiter-Weight to accompany him to Aus
tralia. Reynolds watched Thomas care
fully while the latter was training at San
Rafael for his meeting with ketchell at
Marysyille on July f. He formed the opin-
ion that Thomas would walk through all
available boxers in Australia without any
trouble, once he became acclimated.
Thomas would become the protege of
BOokmaker John Wren at once and that
big turfman would back him in all his
matches. With such powerful influence
behind him he would be sure of fair
treatment in the ring.
Reynolds says Australia is fifteen years
behind the times in the matter of box
ing. As Thomas has a wonderful style
it is expected that big crowds would at
tend any matches in which he would be
a principal. The prospect is an ailuring
one for Thomas, who is still young and
who would appreciate the chance to make
d sporting pilgrimage to a foreign land.
The future movements of the California
welter- weight will depend upon the out
come of his present negotiations for
match with Cans.

SULLIVAN BOOSTS MADDEN
Tells of One of Billy's Old Time
Bare-Fisted Finish
Fights.

John Sullivan in an interview the other

boost. He said:

He was with me as manager one year,
at the end of which 1 was champion; then
me and Madden had growl and we part,
ed He has followed the game from the
bare knuckle days to the present time of
fakes. He was a fighter himself. and his
first real battle was in the ring at Bay st.
Louis Miss. where Joe Coburn, the
Irish lad and Jem Mace, of England,
fought in 1872.
Just before the Coburn-Mace fight Mad
den reached New Orleans, broke. and
tickets on the train out to the ringside
were selling at so per. He was nineteen
years of age and, determined to see the
fight he walked the twenty miles Of mud
dy, rotten roads. When he got to the
ringside there was a collection taken up
of $40 for a fight between any two men
present. Madden, at the end of his TWEEN
ty-mile walk, hungry and dirty. jumped
into the ring. He was faced by Tom Hart,
and Madden got down to business Hart
took an awful beating. and he was help
less with both eyes closed. when Jack

and if you don't go in and lick that kid
I'll cut your giZZard out.
Hart couldn't obey orders. though. and
Madden won. OF the purse of Sl20 Madden
got $3.50, for they held out on him at the

FIRST MAN WHO
PITCHED CURVE
An Accident, Together With
Practice, Made Arthur
Cummings Famous.

In these days of spit balls and the
other names applied to the various
curves that slab artists dish I'D to the
opposing teams, it is little Known that
curve pitching was accidentally dis
covered by a pitcher while officiating
in a game he was pitching on the
White Lot" was the old fans remark
as he squared himself at the sporting
editors desk last night. And il might
be well to remark right here that the
umpire, Mr. Mills of the Union club of
New York. came near beng mobbed
in that game, as. being a catcher Of
note, he was close up and called the
batsmen out on strikes on halls they
declared were wild and wide OF the
plate"
In the year 1866 the famous Excel
sior club of New York visited this city
TO play game with the Nationals,
and with them were a number of other
New Workers. who were also ball toss
ers. but who came along for the PLEAS
ure of the trip. While enjoying the
hospitality of the Nationals propos-
al was made by the National Juniors
TO play a picked team from the Wis
itOrs and the challenge was quickly
accepted.
The game was played in the morning
of the day set for the contest with the
senior teams, and the visitors put in
the field a very strong aggrCga ton,
made up Of players from the Atlantics,
Stars and EckfOTds, many of whom in
seasons later became stars in the teams
of Gotham.
