decided TO farm out Charley Hickman TO

for waivers, Cleveland declined to let the
slugger out of the American League. As
far as is known at this time. Lajoie in

base, and expects him TO make good.
Should the player fail to come up to ex-
pectations he will be carried as an emer-

Even should Cleveland let Hickman out
Toledo would be the last place he would
land, as Bill Armour, the Toledo man
ager, has for years been at swords points
with Hickman, and was responsible for
the release Of the player to Washington
two years ago.
Hickman Is one Of the most popular
players that ever wore a Cleveland uni
form, and the announcement thar he is
to return was well received by local
rOoters-

DATES FOR YONKERS TRACK.
Jockey CInb VIII Meet Next Week
to Consider Schedule

New York, Dec. 26-The stewards OF
the Jockey Club will hold a meeting
January and arrange racing dates for
1905. Not until then will it be definitely
known what consideration the Empire
Trotting Club Is to receive. At the meet
ing on Tuesday the question Of dates was
discussed and the Empire track was the
sole topic 1t is significant, however, that
the Empire people have not yet made for
nal application for dates. which leads Us
TO believe that Mr. Butler is ready 10 ac-
cept anything that che Jockey Club may
offer in the way Of dates for a race meet
ing at the Yonkers course. The stew
ards. after the meeting, admitted that
the Empire people had not yet applied
for dates. and while they would not talk
for publication. several members inti-
mated that harmony would exist next
summer.
In the meantime NJ. Butler is in Louis
VILE, comforting with sIatt Win and pre-
pairing for a meeting at Yonkers. When
Mr. Butler returns, which viii be about
the time that the Jockey Club announces
dates. the stakes TO be run at YOnkers
viii be announced. and entry blanks sent
