McGRAW HAUNTS CLUBS
FOR PEEP AT ROLLS

NEW YORK, Jan. 9-Johnny McGraw
comes to the New York club office every
afternoon and peruses the daily mail for
signed contracts. Yesterday he received
three contracts, but only one of them
had signature affixed. This was
Wiltse's contract. The left-hander is ap-
parently satisfied with what the new
year brought him, but the other .wo
contracts We're unsigned and had letters
attached OF course, the New York Of
ficials will not tell who is holding out
McGraw took occasion la evening to
deny the report that he is going to Toledo
next week to have a talk with Bresna-
han and fix up some sort of deal with
Cincinnati.
This talk about a deal with Cincin-
natl is news to me- said McGraw last
night. 80 far as I am concerned there
is nothing doing with this club since the
deal was called off in which offered
Bresnahan, Dahlen and Brown for Lo-
bert and Schlei AS for my going to
Toledo to talk with Bresnahan you can
put that down as an unofficial yarn.
When 1 leave here next week 1 will go
direct to the coast and remain for about
four weeks"

lead to the final hundred yards, where
Archibald brought First Peep up on the
outside to win from the Baron by a long
head. Harry Scott was two lengths back
to lead Chippewa by length.
The closing number found fourteen A.
year-old platers ready to go over the six
furlong course, and Marion Rose, making
her first start here, had shade the best
of Kirkfield Belle in the betting. This
did not stop Stokes mare from winning,
with Marion second and Josie third.
Lucky Lad was talked of as good thing
but could do r. better than fourth.
Kirkheld Belle and Marion Rose got
out in front and were separated from the
bunch by varying distances, Kirkiiel

finished a length apart, with Josie 5
taking Anna Mays place for third when
the latter slowed up at the paddock.

PULLS DOWN FLAG AND is
FORCED TO CLIMB POLE

NEW YORK, Jan. 9-Arrested by an
Irish policeman who had seen him tear
down an American flag which had been
flying from a staff in the front yard of
a Frenchman in Hoboken, Thomas Tay-
lor was compelled to climb to the top
of the forty-foot staff and put the flag
back where he had found it,
Several dozen men and boys, part OF
them of German, French, Irish, Polish
and English parentage, witnessed the
punishment of Taylor, who said he was
an American citizen
1t was early in the day when Taylor
cut the ropes attached to a large Amer
lean flag belonging to Emile LIE Fevre
at 219 Bloomfield street. Policeman
O'Donohue caught him and took him to
the court of Recorder Stanton. Taylor
said he lived at ITO Monroe street. His
only excuse for having torn down the
flag was that he disliked seeing it at 3
o'clock in the morning.
You'll climb to the top of that fiagpole
and put back that flag" said the record
er. There is nothing the matter with
the American flag at any hour of the
day, and the reason 1 have insisted upon
this public punishment for you is that
l want to set an example for the benefit
of any person who may feel disposed
to hold from the flag the respect which
is its due"
Escorted by several dozen men and
boys Taylor went with two policemen to
LIE Fevres front yard. Gathering the
flag under one arm and holding ham,
mer he scaled the pole with difficulty
and amid the cheers of the crowd nailed
the flag back in the position in which
he had found it. There was great deal
of cosmopolitan rejoicing.
BY the time Taylor had climbed to the
ton of the pole and slid down again there
was very little disrespect for the flag
left in the neighborhood.

Climbing to Top of
Ladder

Battling Nelson, he of the caulif1ower
ear and the large but shattered reputa-

with Kid Scaler upon the rostrum at
Uncle Toms cabin on the night of jan
uary 2S.
In securing the Dane for exhibition
purposes Manager McCarey has fulfilled,
for the month at least, his promise to
keep a continuous show of celebrities
running weekly at his pugllistic pavilion.
Negotiations for this pair to clash have
been under way for several days, but
owing to the eternal money question the
match has been doubtful until yesterday.
When Nelson departed for Ogden for his
fight with Clifford he left his end of the
agreement stub duly signed and ready
for submission to Scaler, provided the
side bet of $250O formerly posted by the
lesser light was still in evidence.
The person who had offered to back
Scaier with $500 of his wager had, how
ever, sidestepped after a careful glance
at the almanac, but Scaler has managed
to gather $1,000 in small change and Bat
has decided to accept what is in sight.
This looks like grand larceny on Nell
sons part if he has regained any of his
old-time form, and the Battler is GER
tainly confident of himself, for he is too
frugal to risk real coin on losing game.

Francisco, will probably arrive here

WEEKS DELAY KILLS
W0MAN'S 5000, 900 CLAIM
Mrs. Asa Stanford Cannot Collcc,
Fortune for Which She Fought
Stanford University.

LOS ANGELES. CAL, April s =
Because her lawyers we're seven days
late in filing a notice OF appeal, Mrs.
Asa Stanford, widow of the brother of
Leland Stanford, has lost all chance OF
collecting her claim of $600.00U
against the trustees of Stanford Uni
versity and the university wins per-
mnnent possession of the big fortune.
The Supreme Court sitting en- banc
dismissed the appeal when the uni
vhrsiiy trustees explained that the
material points had been settled.
Mrs, Standards claim was based on
n stock deal in Central Pacific. She
alleged that Leland Stanford proms-
ed to pay her late husband 5000 900
for this stock. The executors of the
estate replied that Leland Stanford
had given his brother 100000 Mt the
time of the deal and that Asa Stan
ford had denied to the trustees that
Leland Stanford ever had promised
him an annuity OF $4,000 year. The
litigation has been pending for years.
