Racing at Fair Grounds.

With one more week Of racing at the
fair grounds and promise of better
weather, Manager Murray should re-
ceive good support. He certainly is put
ting on better class of races than has
ever been dished up to the Salt Lake
public before There has been hardly
a race since the meeting opened that
there has not been a contest. and the
races have been remarkably clean
Murray seems to be bending every en-
ergy to keep them that way. and If he
succeeds in the future as well as he has
in the past. he will make a winner out
of If OF course some will kick, those
who lose bets. but these same people
will kick at the outcome of baseball
game If they are on the losing end
Those who have free access TO the
iudges' stand know that Judge Blum
and Manager Murray are constantly on
the lookout for any jobs that might be
attempted. and apparently both of these
officials are using their best endeayorS
TO nrevent any crooked work. The fact
that the races are being patronized
more largely every day is evidence the
nuh,ic has confidence in them. and If
the good work is continued. Murray

Pewamo. Oct 24-Our distinguished
fellow townsman, B. II. Merkle, ar
rived home this noon on the accom-
mediation train from Slippery Ellum
Corners. He was met by almost ev-
erybody in town, with the exception
of Reed WATSON and family. The lit

band was present also and when the
train rolled into the depot the cries
of the crowd were mingled with the in
spring strains of Hail TO the Cheese.
Another great cheer went up when our
distinguished fellow tOwnsman was
seen on the rear platform of the ca
boose, carrying a suit case in each
hand.
Cy Hardcastle. proprietor OF the har-
ness emporium. says that they are
made of genuine Russia leather and
must have cost lot of money.

tive of Pewamo alighted from the train
he was presented with an elegant

from the members of the Pewamo De
batting society.
In removing his hat 10 respond to
the tumultuous greeting of the great
throng il was at once seen that Mr.
Merkle had recently suffered severe
attack at the hands OF thugs. One
side of his head was swelled out of
sha De and one ear was attached To his
neck win sticking plaster. Mr.. Mer-
kle's remarks were very brief.

drug store an git some arnica.
In a private interview. exclusively
given to the sporting editor of the Pc
wamo Sentinel, Mr.. MeTkle explained
that. while waiting for his train at
Slippery Ellum Corners. he was set
upon and brutally beaten by a drum
mer for New York cigar concern.
We have the name of this miscreant
and should he ever again visit Pc
wamo we will issue a call for the Reg
ulators.
Mr.. Merkle brings word that the New
York baseball club was cheated out of
the championship on a technicality. He
seems very much cast down over this
for he is true sportsman and a
sport, and always was.
He thinks there is still chance for
John T Brush and Mr.. McGraw to
bring suit against the Chicago club,
which perpetrated this dastardly out
rage. Mr.. Merkle feels the affair so
keenly that he absolutely refused to
give out the details of the sad affair.
Our distinguished fellow townsman
informs us that he will not be with the
New York club next season. He says
that the life is not all ones vagrant
fancy might paint il, and there are
many unpleasant features. such as
sleeping on Pullman cars (the writer
has made on trip TO Lansing and never
closed his eyes all night, eating at all
sorts of hotels, and meeting no friends

Mr. Merkle says that he will probably
soon resume his duties at AL Hanson's
livery barn. where he will be pleased to
greet all old friends.

Successor for Kelsey.

Each day brings fresh facts about
the way in which the cycle racing game
is conducted in the east. A mans abil-
ity does not count. as is shown by the
manner in which Jackie Clarke is treat
ed in nearly all the races in which he
enters. Some time ago Floyd McFar-
land was quoted as saying that Clarke
would never win another bicycle race
If he could help it. and since that time
Clarke has not won very many. This
was because Clarke refused to team
with Mcfarland and cut his winnings.
The deals that are pulled off to defeat
Clarke are a disgrace TO any sport, and
while after each meet word is given out
that the rules will be enforced. the
same thing goes on meet after meet.
r T. Kelsey. chairman of the N c.
A, is the referee at every one of these
meets, and is the man who above all
others should enforce the rules Yet
he does not. although he has the ability
TO do so. Out in this country where we
have had a few samples of Kelsey jus
tice, il is not hard to understand why
the public continues to kick over his
work There is but one thing for the
cycling interests of America to do, and
that is to combine and kick Kelsey out

called Gotham But if reports of the
fight between Marvin Hart and Jack

worthless were scheduled to fight, but
instead Of fighting they put up one
grand farce in WHICH Sullivan repeated
ly fouled Hart. At one time the referee
stopped the fight and allowed Hart
time to recover from the alleged eff
fects of a blow, and then they went at
it again. Sullivan continued to hit low
until the referee stopped the fight and

public get its money back? Well, no.
Did these taking fighters walk away
with the purse? Sure. And the Boston

CARLISLE TEAM ONE OF BEST
Indians Have Been Veritable Red
Peril for the Past
Decade.
BY WALTER II. EcKERsALL.

In the football world the Indian team
has been a verftable red peril for the last
decade. Their exploits since 1899 have
been little short Of marvellous and there
is not a team on their schedule but what
regards the Indian game as one of the
hardest.
When Carlisle started TO play football,
fourteen years ago. the venture was re-
garded as q Joke. The eleven played four
games the first year and won only one.

then that league has violated one of
the strongest laws that binds organ
lied baseball together. II is said the
deal was secretly made six weeks ago.
If this is true. if is time for one gen
tleman named Farrell. who deals out
justice for the national association, to
get busy at once and tell the North
western league where it should head in.
But, win he? Not on your life. If the
deal has been carried through, and it
probably has, the fine Italian hand of
w. H Lucas can be seen behind the
scenes. and it is one best bet Lucas did
not make q move without first consult
ing Farrell. Should Judge McCreedy of
Portland come out and agree TO trans
fer his coast club, the new Portland
club would at once drop down and out
of sight But McCreedy will hardly do
this. The judge is a fighter and hates
Lucas in most cordial manner. and
is backed by the Portland public. He
is not the man to lie DOWN and should
he try to force the issue, even with the
backing of Farrell. there viii be a
merry baseball war, and Lucas viii lose
again.

f. w. Dickerson in the Denver News
says:
'.The annual fall talk of a reorgan-
ization by which Denver and Pueblo
will be dropped from the Western
league. is again going the rounds. 1t is
to the effect that the owners of east
ern franchises in the Western will re-
Iieve' themselves of their obligations to
the Denver and Pueblo clubs by form
ing a new circuit under another name,
with Topeka, Wichita and couple OF
other towns of that part of the coun-
try to take the two western clubs
places, and also to round the circuit out
into eight clubs. 1t would be dull
fall indeed without this rumor, yet it
is not at all unlikely that such thing
may happen with Doc Shivley in line
with a willingness to consolidate the
best towns of the Western association
with the west in the Western leagues
present circuit. George Tebeau's sale
of his Denver interest suggested some
thing of this sort.
IF this change should come about it
would almost necessitate the organiza-
ton of a Rocky mountain league with
Denver, Pueblo Salt Lake City, Ogden,
Grand Junction, Cheyenne, Trinidad
and Fort Collins or some other good
towns as a circuit A great many sur
prising changes in baseball are likely
during the coming winter. The Amer
lean association is very likely TO broad
en- its circuit and invade some of the
cities now occupied by major league
towns
While it is now the time of the year
for wild pipes about the formation OF
baseball lea CUES to be going the rounds,
vet there is possibility of just such
a league as Dickerson speaks of becom-
ing a fact. Here in Utah this league
would be welcomed. and any time Den
yer is ready to make the jump toward
Utah. the rest will be easy.
