OREYfUS HAS
SYNDICATE TO
BUY CARDINALS
Will Try to Gain Control Of st.
Louis National League
Club.

CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-Charles Murphy,
president of the Chicago Cubs, has been
keeping in the limelight since the close
of the ball season by means Of an al
legged row with Frank Chance.
Murphy has let the impression gain
ground that Chance might get away
from the Cubs; that he positively might
be traded to Cincinnati; and the Chi
ago fans have been much worried as a
result. But the facts are that Chance
signed a four-year contract with Chi
cage on September Z, and received a
big increase in his pay.
When the National League holds its
annual meeting next month it will not
at all be surprising if Barney Dreyfus
is in absolute control of the situation.
Since the death of Frank De Haas
Robson, owner of the st. Louis club.
negotiations have been under way for
the sale OF thai club to a syndicate
supposed to be headed by Dreyfus. 1t
is said that the Cellas, once interested
in st. Louis ace tracks, are ready to
buy the st. Louis club for $500, 900 cash,
but that the other National League
clubs, together with the entire Ameri-
can League, are opposed to such a deal.
If Dreyfus's syndicate gets hold of
the Robson outfit, Barney will bet big
factor in the old leagues councils, as he
owns this Pittsburg club, has stock in
the Boston club and is closely allied
with Brooklyn and Chicago.

Tenney, Of Giants, Has Best
Fielding Average Of First
Basemefl.

Arthur Devlin, who learned the base
ball trade right in this old town. led
the third basemen of the National

sons with an average Of .947. Harry
Steinfeldt, of the champion Cubs, was
second to him, with $40.
Another Giant, Fred Tenney. had the
best fielding record of, the first base

eighteen chances in 1876 games, finish

Takes HOnOrs from Gil Brady's
Black Mare
Rebe.
BY WALTER 6. ERLER.

To say that Doc Bodenweiser's black
gelding Chief is the speedway cham
pion is putting 1t mildly. In the matt
acers in the club look like wooden
money, and he now holds the record
over the speedway, having dethroned
GIL Brady's black mare, Rebe, last
years champion, by pacing a half in a
race in 1903, beating the ex-queen and
going away from Bonanza, 2:07h, as IL
he was anchored.
Many iorsemen were looking for Gil
Brady to get out his excuse book after
the defeat, but this is one of the things
the gentleman from Bloomfield never
carried. To use his own expression
tells the wh1e story; it was this: doc
had speed than 1 did, and I was
never beaten fairer in my life, and /
hope Chief holds the record longer
than my mare did"
This is going some, and a little more
Of this brand of sportsmanship on the
race track or on the speedway will help
some.
There appears to be more than u.s.
ual interest displayed at the speedway
this fall, and quite a number of horse
men are working their horses over the
course every day. Tuesday and Friday

CREDIT DUE TO
COACH AND CAPTAIN
OF EAST ORANGE
They Helped to Bring Fame to
Suburban Football
Eleven.

A greater part Of the credit for the
fine showing that the East Orange
High School football team has made in
New Jersey Interscholastic League race
this season is due to Captain c. Claeys
and Head Coach Taylor. The latter has
developed the playing ability of his
proteges to a high standard, and in
Claeys has turned out n of the finest
fullbacks iY schoolboy ranks In this
section Of the State.
At present Coach Taylor's team has
u~ndisputed hold Of first place in the
league race, with two victories and no
defeats. It has still n more game to
play, that with Newark High School on
Thanksgiving Day.
The fine work of Captain Claeys has
been. in no small way, responsible for
the victories of his team. He is a good
line plunger, fast on outside tackle runs
and an excellent field general.

another match race arranged between
Billy T and Red Lawn, to take place
over the speedway next week. This
would indeed be interesting, as there
are many who still believe that the
trotter can beat the PAGER.
Harry Mckee has sold the chestnut
mare High Art, az own sister to Bugle,
2:12A, dam of Bugle McKerron I'd,
PISA, annd she is being used as a road
horse.
1t has been suggested that a subsorip-
ton be taken up to buy nj. X. Harris
a big stick with which to drive the
brown gelding Bert Brentford. He acted
at times on Saturday as If nothing
short of a gattling gun would have
the desired effect. The horse surely
shows a bunch OF speed in places, and
In the next breath he acts as though
he were in a trance.
Highland lady had quite a lot Of
speed Saturday but couldn't best the
bay gelding Harry Lake, which seems
to have the Indian sign on anything
that comes his way, and Is a better
gated trotter right now than at any
previous time in his career
MANY trainers are now busy shaping
UP horses for the coming sales, and
there is no better way to make a horse
bring the high dollar than to have him
in good shape when he is paraded in
front Of the auctioneer. A little extra
feed and care means extra dollars In
many instances.
George Stengel has sold the big bay
trotting colt Elkwood King by
Nominion. and he has gone to Join the
trotting brigade on the New York
speedway. This horse stepped some
fast miles over the Elkwood track this
summer and looks like the making of a
good ~trotter.
In owning the black PAGER Chief and
the dun trotting gelding Dewey En-
sign, 2:15A, Doc Bodenweiser surely
has a pair that is troubled with speed.
when It comes to speedway racing, as
this pair can make a bunch Of trouble
in their respective classes.
The brown trotting gelding Prince
K, the recent purchase of Harry Nc
Kee, was somewhat of a ~disappoint-
ment to many local ~horsenen, who had
looked for him to win in his class. He
is an extremely fast horse.
Harry McKee's crown gelding Prince
X, 2:23A, looks like the making of an
extremely good ~trotter, and according
to good judges who have seen him per-
form, his record is no measure of his
speed. A record of 2:15 over a half
mile track seems to be within his reach
another year. During the past season
he raced well, but was in poor hands.

verse conditions. Prince K, was sired
