NEW YORK, December AT the open
ing Of the semi session Of the
board Of review of the National Trotting
Association. which began yesterday at the
Murray Hill Hotel. Mrs. Gilbert F. Cairo
of Huntington, l.. l., was questioned con-
corning a horse which competed in Long
Island races last season under the name
of Miss Greyline, and which was later
identified as Celia, with a record of 2.13A.
This Identification caused the setting
down Of the driver. Nelson Varney, Mrs.
Caire and several others.
Women seldom appear before the board,
and when Mrs. CARES case, which was
the third on the list. was called, there
was an unusual craning OF necks In the
chamber. Mrs. Cairo was Miss Julia A.
she declared that she knew nothing what
ever Of its record or previous condition.
She told of purchasing the horse in a
New York stable, and averred that she

chased it for 5000 she found that it was
lame.
II did not buy the horse as race horse -
she said. Il bought it for saddle horse.
Then T found it was lame. The dealer re-
fused to take it back. 1t was my first ex-
perience, and L think 1t will be my last
one
Mr.. Caire told the board that he
bought the animal from his bride-to-be,
inasmuch as Miss johnson was afraid to
ride the animal. He attempted to make a
race horse out of the mare.
John Mcclure and his son, Thomas NC

and 50th street, the mare was bought.
were present. Mcguire senior testified
that Cairo and Miss Johnson were mot
buying pig in the bag when the animal
changed hands, and that he showed Caire
the horses record. He said he never rep
resented the horse to be other than Celia.
A dozen witnesses testified, including
CARES mother.
The case was continued until this after
noon, when Mcguire has promised he can
show the horse was sold as Celia.
A. 3. Van Houten of Mineola, L. l.. a
driver in the race against the Celia mare,
alias Greyline. at Islip, L. l., was at
Madison Square Garden in the morning
and heard that his name had been men
toned in the testimony concerning the
dispute over the mare. He went to the
board of review to make a statement at
the opening of the afternoon session. He
denied portions of Cares testimony.
Celia or .Greyline appeared will also be
heard today when the case comes up.
In confirming the temporary reinstate-
ment of Amos Rathbun, a well-known
driver. without rising to executive ses-
sion, the board took an unusual action
inasmuch as Rathbun confessed openly to
laying up his horse in the heat men,

Leo Konnel Has Yeast Germs in His
Blood.

CHICAGO. December 4.-Yeast germs
at work In the blood has been found to be
the strange affiiction Of Leo Konnel, who
is confined in the Cook County Hospital
and for whose recovery. there is said to be
no hope.
1t is supposed that the infection entered
his system through some slight lesion in
the skin Of his hands or face. The warm
blood furnished an ideal condition for the
reproduction of these germs and they
multiplied at an enormous rate, so that
now a yeast solution Is running through
Konners veins.
There are said to be only three known
instances of yeast infection in the blood
In all the history OF medicine. In all in
stances death has followed in a short

selling for total Of only SO. 500. an aver
age Of $145, pulled down the high average
Of the previous days to a point below the

Begun under conditions which seemed
most unpromising because of the financial
disturbances. the sale turned out to be in
some respects the most successful one
ever held in Madison Square Garden. The

BASE BALL NOTES.

here : q real IAN 4. II. DOyEe OF De.
troit, has just purchased box No. 1 at
Bennett Field, Detroit, for the entire sea-
son of 1908. He paid s462 for it and is
entitled to the box for the full seventy
seven games Of the season.
Neuer, the new pitcher the Yankees
picked up last season. is like to prove
profitable in several ways to the Highland
aggregation. He halls from Savannah,
and the base ball fans of that city want to
see him in harness under Griffith Savan-
nah is holding out a tempting offer to the
Yankees to play there next spring.
The Yankees. according to reports from
southern base ball centers. will meet two
National League teams, the names of
which are not mentioned, during their
spring training trip. Both the National
League teams are from the west.
A Toledo expert submits the following:
People go to the game in New York to
see Hal Chase play. He knows it, so just
not to worry about him." This may be
true. and still Chase may be burned If he
keeps on playing with fire.
The outlaw Atlantic League is now
making strenuous efforts to replace one of
its weakest members by a team in VIII
mington Del.
The Boston Americans are scheduled for
some lively times down New Orleans way
next SpfluS. Iney VIII cross bats there
with the Chicago National Leaguers in a
training-trip series.
Plea by Kid Elberfeld: 'Give me the
old game, when player could at least
look at an umpire without being put out
of the game. | believe that scrappiness
wins games, but under the new rules the
authority of an umpire is so arbitrary that
1t takes the life out of the game
Garry Hermann points out that so
many persons are interested in the pro-
duction of good ball teams that they could
never be controlled according to the wishes
of any single body or trust" He states
that the blacklisting Of players is by no
means an exhibition of monopolistic in
clinations on the part Of the commission,
but rather method of protecting the
base ball players who want the game to
be conducted honestly.
