JAMAICA RACES END SEASON.
Meeting of Five Days Closes the New
York Turf Year

NEW YORK, October 2f.-The last
race meeting of the New York season
will open at the Metropolitan Jockey
Clubs Jamaica track tomorrow, to con-
tinue for five days. distributed through
dates that extend into the middle of next
week The program announced is made
up entirely of purses and the races will
be confined to much the same horses
that raced at Yonkers. with the pros
pect that there will be plenty of material
for overnight racing. in spite of the
division of horses caused by the depart
ures for the Baltimore meeting. The
great stables of the turf about all have
gone into retirement for the winter, but
the smaller establishments and the
cheaper class horses will make the most
of the last chance left and will furnish
fields for the short period left of the
racing year.
The purses are small. but they amount
to $1,000 day, and as the Metropolitan
Jockey Club will open the meeting facing
the practical certainty of loss the cluo
will achieve the one purpose of the meet
ing when 1t carries the racing up TO ana
one day beyond election day. That Is the
goal that the racing associations seem
to have set for 1905 for the apparent pur
pose of keeping the horsemen and racing
men together until that time, but at that
the turf year will end nearly two weeks
earlier this season than has been the GUS
tom for fourteen years. The racing
dates claimed for Jamaica take in Tues
day. Thursday and Saturday of this
week leaving Monday, Wednesday and
Friday as off days. In the second week
there will be racing Monday, and tile
close of the season will come Wednesday,
following election day, which. though IN
the past one of the great racing holidays.
will not be taken for racing this year.

HAL CHASE beaten
BY AN ANGRY MOB

Hal Chase is in trouble again. Hal S
disposition. which wasn't very good In
New York, seems to be even worse under
the influence of the glorious climate OF
California The former Highlander now
is ornamenting the Stockton (Calo team.
It is to the prompt interference OF the
police that he owes his escape from a
crowd Of Sacramento fans who were
about to beat him to pulp recently for
assaulting Doyle centerfielder of the lat
ter club.
The mix-up occurred in the second In
ming after the Sacramento stickers had
hammered Moskiman out of the box and
taken the lead. With a man on second
and third. Doyle grounded to first. and
Chase, fielding the ball, sought to hold his
man at third and retire Doyle. He jump
ed in front CT the runner, and in the col
lision both fell. Chase jumped up and
rushing at Doyle, who was still on his
hands and knees uppercut him twice on
the face. splitting Doyle's lip.
AS the latter rose to retaliate, Chase
took several more swings at him. A
general rush followed from the bleachers
and local bench. Chase was knocked
down and smothered under pile oil
crazed fans and players. He extricated
himself from the melee and started foI
the clubhouse. but was rolled before he
reached the home plate.

he uses. in half-mile events jumped away

the worlds record figures was received
with great enthusiasm. Kramer's ride
was marred only by his teaming with

CHICAGO, October &C. Webb Muir
ohy. president and owner Of the Cubs, is
not taking any stock in the stories sent
from Kansas City that Johnny Killing. his
star receiver. will purchase the Cowboys

season in preference to returning to the

Chicago president, but if he Is he Will
have to pick out some other avocation
than bench manager of the Kansas club.
Johnny evidently is not up on the rules of
the national commission.
These rules are explicit and say that
no player can leave the employ of his
club to become a bench manager of an
other national agreement club without
first obtaining the consent of the club
which has title to him. This rule was
adopted last summer the case Of Frank
Isbell bringing the matter to the COM

Yesterday morning in Ryan gymnasium.
Georgetown University, the basket ball
quint from Carroll Institute took the
Blue and Gray Prep School five into
camp to the tune of - TO o6. The game
was intensely exciting from start to
finish. and enthusiastic did the players
become that both sides committed many
fouls on account of rough work.
At the end of the first half the score
stood 13 to II in favor of the Props, but
the club team were better lasters, and
gained just enough advantage in the
second half to cinch the victory.
The work of both teams was excellent
considering the earliness of the season.
and there is no doubt but that they VIII
be a great factor when il comes to de-
termining the championship of their re-

Lowell for the Props put up a great
game, and he bids fair to become a star

New York, June 3O-Mayor George
p. McClellans title to the office Of may

today by a decision Of Justice Lambert
in the supreme court in which the JUS
tice ordered a jury to render verdict
that Mcclellan was duly elected mayor
in 1905. w. r. Hearst has been contest
ing the mayors right to the Office
practically ever since the election and
as n result Of his charges OF fraud In
the original count of ballots the legls
lature passed law enabling recount.
Attorney General w S, Jackson then
Instituted quo warranto proceedings on
behalf of the people In which both Mr..
Hearst and Mayor Mcclellan were
named as defendants
The recount left Mayor Mcclellan
with a plurality Of 1865, whereupon
Clarence j. shearn, representing Mr..
jackson, alleged that the ballot boxes
had been stuffed and requested the
court to throw out the entire vote of
112 election districts in which he charg.
ed that the ballots found In the boxes
exceeded the number of registered vot-
ers. This, however, was based on an In
correct list Of voters and when the cor
rect list was produced today Mr..
Shearn said that the registration was
greater than the poll In every disputed
district.
Justice Lambert declined to throw
out the contested districts, Mr. shearn
then charged that the inspectors had
registered an excess number Of names
but said he could not prove repeating.
The Justice then declared that the
original count was quite as complete
MS tho one made IN court and that the
evidence showed no fraud so far as the
election inspectors were concerned. He
/ said that If legal voters gould be dis
/ franchlsed so readily as had been at

Mayor Mcclellan issued a statement
tonight in which, after defining his at
tltude in regard to the recount, he
states that he has been forced to pay
out forty thousand dollars to DEFEND his
title, not including counsel fees which
are still unpaid The mayor directs at
tention to the fact that 1.-THE result OF
this enormous expense and this pro-
tracted litigation has been to Increase
my total vote and to diminish my Off

He says aso that he has no regrets
as to the course he pursued, ana that
he feels that the controversy Will dis

tests of this sort In the future Had he
suspected his election was the result Of
