1.-THE SILENT MAN"
Ed. Geers Is Keeping Up Reputation
For Getting Coin.

For Getting Coin.
Ed. Geers, the Silent Man from
Tennessee" who for years has been
considered one of the ablest reins-
men in the country, is keeping up
his reputation this year on the grand
circuit by plotting winners at each
race meeting, his total winnings at
the close of the Providence meeting
being $31, AIS. When at Cleveland,
Geers encountered run of hard luck
and in one day lost three races. Peo-
pie pitied him and imagined that he
had lost his cunning. The fact is it
was simply racing luck that every
horseman in his career is obliged to
face.
AS showing that Geers' campaign
has not been a losing one it is only
necessary to point out that at Detroit,
the first meeting of the grand circuit,
Geers won $4325. and this in spite
of the fact that Highball, John A.
and Dan s., three of the stars of his
stable, were beaten. When Cleve-
land was reached the fine edge that
these horses had been holding since
early in the spring was worn off and
the result was that he won only
$3.50 at that place. At Buffalo,
however, he collected $3.50, and at
Poughkeepsie he captured $3.50.
When Readville was reached Geers
made killing At this one meet
ing he received $12,S50 as his share
of the winnings, which left but a
small portion of the spells for the
other contestants. At Providence,
Geers made another good haul, win
ming in all $1,000.

TOMMY BURNS A FREAK.
Is Exhibiting Himself in 1G-Cent
Museum.

Museum.
Speaking of Tommy Burns it
might be we'll to tell what he is do
ing right now. Tommy left the coast
week or two ago and is now in De-
troit, where he is exhibiting himself
in 10-cent museum at the fair be-
ing held there. He is brought out on
the platform in front of the tent in
which he has his show every few
minutes, and the speiler throws a
few boquets at Tom and then a
couple of boosters push up to the
ticket sellers stand and purchase
their tickets, and. of course, the
crowd follows suit. Inside Burns
gives some sort of an exhibition
which lasts but short while, and
then the crowd is dismissed and
Tommy resumes his stand on the
platform, the speiler does another
''chifp' and the boosters" get busy
again, and then the same old gag
over again.
This is the first time in the history
of the prize ring where it was ever
known of heavyweight champion
doing a stunt at street carnival
museum. An eastern paper just re-
ceived prints picture Of Burns on
the platform in front of his tent, and
the caption under the cut refers to
him as "the near-champion posing as
a museum freak.

MARKET is BAD.
Lack Of Racing the Cause for Small
Sale of Yearlings.

AOoAO Va
LEXINGTON, KY, Sept. 30.
H. Chenault. owner of the Spend
thrift stud, in this country, reports
that the sale of thoroughbred year
lings being conducted in New York
is the worst all-round sale he ever
saw With foodstuff higher than it
has been in years and yearlings sell
ing at prices as low as they did dur
ing the panic Mr.. Chenault is of the
opinion that the breeders here will
have to limit their operations. The
breeders will be forced to sell all but
there most productive brood mares
and breed to the highest class stall
lions in order to make their business
a success in his opinion. Being a
member of the Protective Breeders
association Mr.. Chenault says that he
will urge that the association become
active again and enter the field for
purchasing brood mares. The lack
of racing in the west he ascribes as
the cause Of the poor sale Of year
lings.
Three thoroughbreds that have
been racing in the string of James R..
Keene this year have been returned
to Castleton stud for rest They
are Philader, Ecatreina and Chaplet.
The fillies Charmante and Mentha,
which have also been in training in

CORNELL's PROSPECTS.
Are Better This Year Than Ever Be-
fore.


ITHACA, Sept. 27.-The football
practice of the Cornell eleven began
OH the 18th, and the Ithacans have
the best prospects that any Cornell
team has had in number of years.
With new system of coaching, and
only three places which are not filled
by veterans of the 1906 aggregation
there appears to be no reason now
why the Cornell eleven this year
should not be better than that OF
last season. There is good material
in last years freshman class, and. If
{ le change in the coaching system
does the good that is expected of it,
the team should know more foot
ball and be. a. faster aggregation than
it was last year.
There are but three places which
will not be filled by the men who
played there last year. Gibson, left
halfback, and Newman. center, were
lost by graduation, and news reached

Yankee Runners Will Try Luck
Across Pond.

Across Pond.
LONDON, Sept. 27.-Again the
eport is current in turf circles that
there is to be another American in
vasion. The success of Mr.. Richard
Croker in winning the derby is per-
haps responsible for this in some
measure. In any event / have heard
ii said that several strong American
stables will be seen at the English
race course next year. In this con-
nection the names of Foxall Keene,
John w. Gates, w. x. Vanderbilt ir.,
Barney Schneider, the western horse
man, and number of others are
mentioned. How much truth there
is in these reports is, of course, a
matter of conjecture | am, how
ever, inclined to believe that there
will be a good many American-owned
horses at the races here next season
| am informed on good authority that
Richard Croker, while not giving up

very largely add to his English rae
ing string and that he will next sea-
son seek to add to his laurels by
leading the list of winning owners on
the English turf Those who best
know the logged determination of
the former New York boss are rather
inclined to believe that he will ac-
complish his ambition before he gives
up the game.
If the American owners and train
ers could only do as well proportion
ately as do the American jockeys
they surely would take the cream OF
Europewn racing. There are some
thing like twenty-five American jock
eys riding on English and continental
race tracks who make $4,000 a year
or more each. The total earnings OF
American jockeys ON this side of the
water is not far from $500, 900 and
may exceed that sum.

once by Richard Croker with Orby.
Others have tried and failed.
Mr.. Mackay is a thorough sports
man, who is in the game for the sake
of sport alone. and with his wealth
and personality, has attained an en-
viable position in the world of the
thoroughbred. He has not taken an
active interest in the racing of his
horses for several years, and his re-
turn is hailed by those having turf
interests at heart.

TOO MUCH PROSPERITY.
Ripley Says Good Times Make En-
pIoyes HarmfuIly Independent.

Chicago. JAM Some of the most
serious conditions which this country
is facing today is the Indifference to,
and the disregard which the employe
has for, the interests of the employer.
This statement was made today by
E. P. Ripley, president of the Santa,
Fe road, during recital of the rea-
Sons which had led his company to
establish a most liberal pension sys-
tenn affecting nearly 10000 employees.
The Santa Fe," continued Mr.. Rip
ley, "hopes to establish better esprit
de corps among its employees and ex-
poets that liberal pension system
will have this tendency. We have
upon this system as much if not more
loyalty than most railroads enjoy, but
IT is not what it should be. The lack
of loyalty among employees Is a condi-
ton from which all corporations are
now suffering and it presents a most
serious problem
What cause do you assign for this
condition p, was asked.
TOO much prosperity or at least
too much business. The demand for
labor and for all classes of the en-
ployed was never so great and never
before did the supply fall so short of
the demand. The demand has become
example, that the employees have as
summed a harmful independence and do
not seem to care about the interests of
their employers. The necessities of
business have compelled US to hire
many new men. who are not as COM
petent as the old men. Add to this
the fact that they know they will have
no difficulty in getting work elsewhere
and it is difficult to get them into
good shape and to maintain a proper
discipline. The Santa Fe is trying to
overcome this tendency to disregard
the companys interests by showing
the men that the company has their
interests at heart
