TRACKS Of CLAY
ARE THE FASTEST
More Records Made On
Them Than on Gin
der Path.

BY glancing over the record book and
noting th5 tracks on which the figures
were made. the old theory that a
straight cinder track is the fastest IS
1isapproved.
With the exception of TaylOT's 40 rs
seconds quarter on the University OF
Pennsylvania cinder circuit, the time
made on the straight Cinder paths is
invariably slower than that made on a
clay, or clay top dressed, or clay-cinder
track Dan Kelly made his 3-5 hun
bred on a trotting track at Seattle. and
Charlie Parsons ran his 94-5 seconds
century on the Clay-topped dressed
Portland track.
The old Analostan Island path, where
Johnny owens first beat ten seconds,
was OF dirt The track at Manhattan
held. where Bernie Wefers made his
records at 100 and 30 yards. and Charlie
Fitzpatrick reeled of a half mile IN
50 % had more clay than cinders in
its composition.
Maxey Long made his worlds records
for $50 400, and 40 yards on the old
Gutenberg race track. and the Travers
sidered one OF the fastest in the coun-
try. is OF clay-cinder composition. The
track at St. Louis was made almost
solely Of clay, and the athletes who
competed on II were OF the opinion that
It's equal could not be found in the
United States. The Montreal Athletic
Association track, considered by many
experts as the fastest in the world. is
another clay top dressed track.
A straight ctnder track is invariably
over a clay track is that il is much
easier to take care Of. Heavy rains
will wash away the clay. but seldom do
much damage 70 a cinder track.

KELLEYS CASE
TO BE HEARD
IN FEW DAYS.
Special Meeting Of National Commission
This Week--Player Reaches City--Why
Ban Johnson is Fighting Him.
BY THOMAS S. RICE.

cretly blacklisted in the American AS
SociatiOn ne could not play in the Ameri-
can League. The reason for Johnson :
activity in knocking a club In his own
league has been n mystery, but here
is the answer:
JohnsOn's Motives Explained.
Lennon. the St Paul owner who origi-
naIly sold Kelley to St. Louis, is afraid
that If Kelley is allowed to play in the
American League, Cantillon will. If
Kelley is not a success in fast company
transfer him 70 Minneapolis, which is
now owned by the Cantillions. and KEEL
ley, the man who is so hated by a group
OF magnates in the American Associa-
JiOn, would bob up serenely there and
give them the horse laugh after they
had tried 10 drive him out of baseball.
Lennon and johnson are very thick,
and Johnson is trying TO protect Len
non from getting the big boot by keep
ing Kelley out OF the American League
where his playing would be an open
passport 70 any other league in the
world. the American Association in
Guided
That Johnson is not actuated by any
high moral purpose such as keeping the
game clear of n man subject 70 the
charges made against Kelley, is clear
from Cantillon's statement that Johnson
told him In Chicago few days ago
that he had no objection TO Kelley man
aging the Des Monies club, but that he
would not permit him 20 play in the
American League. Johnson is member
OF the National Commission supposed to
protect the integrity Of Hse game at
large. II Kelley's morals were good
enough for Dies Moines. why were they
not good enough for this league?

CLARKE A VICTIM
Of FORTUNE TELLER
Pitcher Had Good Reason
to Beware Of Dark
Man.

Dad Clarke. with all his ecCentricites,
was one OF the few BAN players who
would seldom fall for the fOrtune-teller
business. He couldn't see>them at all
when 1t came to giving them money.
but one day he became converted. and
ever afterward had the highest respect
for these delivers into the future.
Dads conversion came about in the
following manner: He and ParlCe VIII
son. the catcher. were down at Coney
Island on a Sunday. and in some way
Parke prevailed upon Clarke 70 take a
chance at the fortune teller down there,
who posed as the seventh daughter Of A
seventh daughter. and who had gypsy
pedigree in the bargain.
Clarke went up against the female
seer. and was handed the regular for
tune teller line OF talk. which included
the warning about the dark man, who
was going 20 cause Dad trouble. and FOR
whom he must be on the alert TO double
cross. Dad hooted at the conversation
the gypsy had regaled him with. and
the warning regarding the dark man
peculiarly ticked him. ParlSe Wilson
tried to impress him with the danger
that threatened him on account Of the
mysterious stranger of the brunette
aspect. but Clarke Just laughed the
matter away.
The next day st. Louis opened at New
York. and Clarke was sent in to pitch.
He twirled a mastery game, and up TO
the last half of the ninth inning the
score stood New York. 8; st. Louis. O.
Then, with two men out and three
Of the Browns roosting on bases, up
stepped the swarthy-visa Jack Crooks
and drove one far over the center field

As Crooks jogged home after the
three runners who had preceded him

New Player Talks
Of His Troubles
In Minor League

Although Kelley did not arrive IN
Washington until $50 o'clock this morn
ing. he was at the ball park at 10
o'clock. and pracused with the team.
In regard TO his case. now pending
before the National Commission. Kelley
said, when seen by a Times reporter
this morning:
Il fully. expect TO be in the game the
latter part Of this week. 1 had a long
interview with Garry Hermann in
Cincinnati. and he assured me that he
would call a meeting of the commission
IN a few days, and announce a final de
cision.
Didn't Accuse Umpire.
The statement that I accused Umpire
owens of dishonesty while 1 was presi-
dent and manager of the St. Paul club
in the American Association, IS an alb
solute falsehocd. / had no more 10 do
with il than you had. The whole trouble
arose ont of the fact that 7 contem-
Dlated giving up the MANAGEMENT OF the
St. Paul club, TO take charge OF the
Minneapolis team Minneapolis and 81
Paul. as YOU know, are only few miles
apart. and as l had a good team in St
Paul. and was popular with the fans,
Lennon. owner Of the St. Paul fran
ChiSc. and several newspaper men with
whom he was very friendly, framed up
the story Of my accusing owen of being
hostile 70 my club. You can say for me
that no complaint WAS lodged against
owen by anybody, and Owen will prob
ably tell you the same thing.
THE reason l left St. Paul to take
up the managerial reins at Minneapolis
for the Cantillons was that l had a
much brighter future there than in ST.
Paul. To make matters worse, Lennon
framed up a fake sale by which ] was
TO go 20 St Louis. He had no more

in a good many games. / never had a
dent and manager Of the club. and only
played because I saw that 1 could get
better results by doing so.
st. Louis Paid Nothing.
st. Louis did not pay a cent for my
release, as Jimmy McAleer told when
was with the washington team IN St
Louis. The reason 1 was sold, or sup
posed to be sold. TO the St Louis club
was to prevent me from managing the
Minr eapOlis team. When McAlee-
bought Charles HemphiH from st. Paul.
Lennon stipulated that the only condi-
ton under which he would let his
star Outfieldcr go was in n deal whereby
a big league club would also take me.
THE whole story In a nutshell is
that Lennon did not want me 10 manage
the Minneapolis team, because ] had
the crowd with me, and would hurt the
