BURKE A JEkYLL AND HYDE.

Jimmy Burke Is the DR.. Jekyll and
Mr. Hyde of baseball. On the field the
Kansas City manager is a raging ty-
rant and semi-rowdy. Off the field he
is as pleasant a gentleman as one
would want to meet.
Jimmy is also the "handshakins kid.
He pumps ones arm with the vigor OF
an engine piston and is known in base
ball as the knight of the grin"
Jimmy likes to play baseball, al
though he has been treading the paths
Of the national game for seven or
eight years. He Is proud OF his club
and his first effort as a minor league
manager, 1t is not his first experience,
however as he had charge of the st.
Louis Nationals for a greater part of
last season; but, being a st. Louis boy,
he found he was without honor In his
own country and lost his job in the
majors.
Burke thinks the American associa.
ton Is easily the greatest, minor league
combine in the country and believes
that a few of the upper society clubs
would find hard shedding in the league.

THREE.YEAR-OLDS MUST RE

IT Is nlain enough that upon the COM

den of maintaining "class" I'm 1907. 1t
is a frail dependence to rely upon q re-
turn to form of horses once under sus-
piciOn Of Imsoundness.
Luckily there were many high class
two-year-olds out in 1906. Some may
think Salvidere was the best, while
others might declare for Peter Pan,
Electioneer or De Mund. Then, again,
there may he some dark one In re-
serve, though on the American turf an
uneXposed two-year- old of class is a
rarity. The American system of rapid
development of young horses cannot
fall To have its effect in an almost
equally rapid retirement well before
they are through with four-year- old
racing.
1t might be an object lesson for
American turfmen to compare the
values of the richest two-year- r-old
stakes in France and England with the
values of the stakes for older horses.
In America the most valuable stake Is
Tor two-year- olds. In England there
are three $4,000 stakes for three year.
