 Against Track Detting

 It is believed here that the feeling against track betting in America is due to abuses peculiar to that country. if the big English bookmal1ers own horses and control jockeys, the fact is very sue cessfully concealed. l am inclined to be- lieve the game is played straighter here than in America. That there is some fixing of jockeys and horses here is true, but cases are sporadic and gener- ally meet with prompt punshments
 Americans may be interested to knew that one of the successful young sres in this country is part American. King s Courier was bred In America. In the main female line he is typically Amerl- can, for his -granddame, Bonaven- ture was a granddaughter of Lexington. As a S-year-old, Kings Courier, then trained by Wishard. won five of the six races in which he took part, and proved himself a horse richly endowed with stam- ina. Toward the end of that season he was sold to MT. Sevier for 52G0 guineas, and the following May he was bought by Lord Ellesmere for 5300 guineas. For his present owner he won the Jockey Club Cup, beating Santo at level weights. Among the prizes he captured was the Doncaster Cup. His credentials, there fore, are excellent His sire, Kingston, was one of the most famous horses that ever trod the turf in America When a 3-year-old he won thirteen of the eighteen contests in which he took part. He was then sold to the Dwyers. who kept him In training until he was 10 years of age. He carried their colors in no races and won no fewer than S3 of them.
 
 Tommy Burns is being rigged about a black eye which interfered with his last training for his fight with Jim Roche. Burns declined to make any explanation as to how he acquired this damaged op- tic, and various stories are current about 1t. One is that a local tough attacked the champion unexpectedly and was jolly well whipped for his pains. Another is that Tommy was the victim of an at tempted hold-up.
 I understand that Burns has decided not to go to France. but that he intends to start for home early next month and take on fight with the negro Johnson.

 Don't fear-Alabamians get their full share of beautiful weather, so if you haven't bought your spring suit, you'd better as soon as possible; and incidentally, you'd better buy 1t at Blach's.
 Price isn't the consideration it is what you get at price which counts. This is what recommends Blach's. Even other clothiers must admit (to themselves) that our $500 to $35.00 lines are the most remarkably fine they've ever seen.

London March 9l.--British racing men are watching with more than their usual amount of interest in affairs foreign the progress of the fight against track betting in the United States. While bet ting on the track is so firmly established an institution here that it is hard to real ize there can be such serious opposition to it as has sprung up in the United States. The fact that a number of the most prominent of the American racing men have already taken steps to enter the racing game in England and France, should the anti-betting crusade be suc- cessful in New York. explains the in terest in what may be considered local legislation in New York.
 l understand that arrangements have been made by James R. Keene, Harry Payne Whitney, John E. Madden, Clar- ence Maekay and others to maintain for midable racing strings in England. These plans are, of course, closely guarded, and according to my informant are dependent upon the fate of the anti-betting bill to the New York legislature.
 The rich purses offered on the French tracks are bound to attract some of the big American racing men, and w. K. Vanderbilt is likely to train some of his fellow-countrymen as competitors for the big French turf prizes.
 Contrary to opinion, the so-called Eng fish system at race tracks is by no means confined to credit, settlements to be made the following Monday, but a great deal of the wagering is with ready money, especi- ally in the silver ring held on youp side. But many shrewd horsemen and players in England reserve their wagers to be done by telegraph, the wires sent away to the course, to various addresses in London and to members of the Albert and Tattersall clubs.
 In France bookmaking has been stop ped and all money bet on races through out that country goes through the pari- mutuel. The laws against bookmaking were not rigidly enforced in France until the last four years. Coincdent with it's actual disbarment there has been a steady and large increase in racing all over France and a corresponding growth in the amount of money handled in the parimutuel. Eight per cent of the money wagered Is deducted, and half of this is devoted to many purposes beneficial to

MERIDIAN READY
 FOR POSSIBILITIES

Meridian, Miss, March 21.-Managef Schmit has about whipped his team into shape for the coming season in the Cotton States league. Rudder Yount and Bill Hard are the three regular slabmen, with Bates and Schmit in reserve. Carnes will be stationed at first, and Dobard, a youngster from the Crescent City, is as- sured of shortstop. Hankey and Yarmouth Will doubtless make good for the other positions. Bates, Geiser, Kutina and Ter re are trying for the outfield. Kutina will be retained in the center garden. He is big fellow, hailing from Chicago, and was considered the best long distance hitter in that city league last season. be- ing rival or the famous Mike Dolin Terre and Cerveaux are the backstops signed so far.

0henton's 5 Young Athletes
 TNsSIe With 1Ke BaYOns
BY BILL AK.

lThe stalwart lads of Birmingham coll
 ge were in rare form yesterday after
 bon, and had there been no first inning le Barons would not have scored.
 Had there been no first or second in- fngs, in fact, the Barons would not
 ave scored as much as a scratch hit.
 It may be that the Barons did not try ID find the nose as assisuously. as they rould had the Atlanta champions been leir opponents. But at any rate young
 dams had the big men guessing after the
 econd inning.
 iwenton bunch had no opportunity to core.
 During the administration of McNeal the ollegians showed the unmlstakable signs # stage fright, and in consequence no
 layer was able to reach first base.
 When Loudon occupied the slab, how yer, the lads were treasured, and dur Ing the last four innings of his period of lbor he yielded quartette of bingles.
 In the first inning the Barons scored |ll their runs. Houtz. Reagan and Raub iingled and all raced home when Henry Ieek smashed triple against right field |ence.
 In the second Lew Walters connected Iafely, but no run was counted.
 After this beginning the game was with hut feature.
 Owenton has fine aggregation from The college standpoint. The lads work Exceedingly well in the field. Jim Adams Ind Bumgartner, for youngsters. are stars beyond question. Both fielded excellent y yesterday afternoon, and several of |heir chances were not dead nor dying. ohm Adams is an excellent young pitcher, inderstands the game thoroughly and fields his position.
 Like the majority of college aggregd- ions, owenton cannot find the ball when Handing face to face with a professional pitcher. The twirler might not be ex- prting himself, but the mere presence Feems to instill icy fear. The youngsters yesterday afternoon were no-exceptions to he rule.
