TAYLOR'S FUNERAL.
Great Tribute Paid Colored Runner
in Quaker CITY.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, December d
Some of the mightiest and speediest ath-
letes of the country stood beside the bier
of John 3. Taylor at his late home today
and paid their last respects to the former
intercollegiate quartermile champion and
the worlds greatest negro runner who
died Thursday from typhoid pneumonia
Many of the Olympic team OF which
Taylor was member were present in
Guiding Hayes, Sheridan, Hillman and
Sheppard, and also many of Taylor's
former team mates at the University of
Pennsylvania and host of men promi-
nent In amateur and professional ath-
letics The University of Pennsylvania
was also we'll represented. The floral Of
ferings were SO numerous as to fill the
Railways and several rooms of the house.
Several thousand persons viewed the re-
mains, and after the services at the house.
in which four clergy men officiated fifty
carriages followed the hearse to Eden
cemetery. 1t was one of the greatest
tributes ever paid a colored man in this
city. Taylor was twenty-four years old

department of the University of Pennsy1-
vania last June.

CALIFORNIA FANS
SIMPLY WAITING
Outlaws Still Divided on the
Question of Protection.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, December o.
The base ball fans of California are wait
ing for something to happen in base
ball way. Cal Ewing has been promising
things. but so far has taken no steps
that have been announced. and no one
knows just what will be done with refer
ence to the California State League. The
outlaws, as they are popularity known, are
divided. San Jose and Stockton are bit
terly opposed to entering organized base
ball. and Fresno is on the fence Sacra-
mento is in favor Of organized ball. and
some of the other towns don't know just
what they want.
John ]. Taylor the Boston American
League owner, said. while here last week,
that it had been declued to let matters
stand as they are until Ban Johnson
and Harry Pulliam reach the coast AL
though Ewing was presumed to have the
authority, ii is evident that the state
leaguers want to treat with the big guns
to see just what will be the concessions
that they are to receive.
Whatever comes, it looks very much
as If California will have to be contented
with a fOur-team schedule, instead OF
six, as should be the case. 1t will be a
disappointment to the fans, who are GER
tanly entitled to better treatment at the
hands of the Coast League for the sup
port they have accorded base ball here.
Taylor, who went east for the annual
meeting of his league in New York, Will
return around the Christmas holidays,
when it is expected that he will be accom-
panied by Johnson and Pulliam. There
will doubtless be nothing stirring until
that time.
The eastern fans have had the same
news in regard to the Reach All Ameri-
cans as has San Francisco, so they know
all about the successive victories OF
Mike Fishers team in the orient. Evil

AMERICAN HORSES
TO RACE IN MEXICO
Prominent Owners and Gov
eminent Interested in
Movement.

LOUISVILLE, KY, December 5.-Prop-
ositions to race American horses in Mex
leo, 1t was learned here today. have re-
Gently been made to Col. Matt J. VIM
Of this city, who is president of the
American Turf Association. Within a
few weeks Col VIM. accompanied by
Algernon Dangerield. secretary of the
Eastern Jockey Club. and Lyman Davis,
secretary of the Louisville Jockey Club,
will go to Mexico to look over the field.
If plans develop as expected the first
season will open in January, 1910. with
the running of the twenty dve-thousand-
dollar Mexican Derby as the opening
event. Some time this month meeting
will be held in New York city by those
interested in the project. and definite
steps will probably be taken then to go
forward with the matter.
Col. Winn says that the Mexican Jockey
Club. which will have supervision and
general control of racing in Mexico, has
already been formed. Many Of the most
prominent American turfmen and breed
ers are interested in it. Among them
are Messrs Keene. Haggin. Whitney,
Butler. Dwyer, Follansbee and Mackay.
Ground for the race track at the City of
Mexico has already been secured. 1t Is
near the castle of Chepultapec. within
fifteen minutes ride by street car from
the heart of the city. There are 100
acres in the site. and the jockey club is
ready to spend s3OO.OOO on the plant.
1t is proposed to have a circuit of five
cities Besides the City of Mexico it is
practically certain that Monterey and
Juarez will be included.
The Mexican government has agreed
to give the jockey club $4,000 year for
ten years. 1t provides the ground on
which the plant at the City of Mexico
will be built and comedies the racing
privileges for twenty years to the jockey
club.

STALLINGS ON DECK.
Yankees Manager Reaches Gotham
and Talks of His Team.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, December George
Stallings, manager of the New York
American League team, arrived here
late this afternoon from Macon. Ga.
where he completed all arrangements
for the training of the players next
March. Stallings said that he engaged
rooms at the best hotel in Macon, nd
also secured the use of the ball park
for about one month. He stated that he
would order the candidates to report
here about the first of March. and that
as soon as Macon was reached they
would be put to work without delay.
Il expect to take about thirty men to
Macon said the new manager. ''and
all of them will receive a fair trial. 1
have a pretty fair idea about the merits
of some of the men, but it is too early
to make any prediction as to the make
up of the Highlanders.''
Did you have any communication
either by wire or letter with Hal Chase
while at Macon?" Stallings was asked.
Not word" was the reply: Why
should /? Chase's case must come be-
fore the national commission before I
can make up my mind what to do. He
is great ball player. and / know that
any club in the country would like to
have him., But the New York club
is not letting good players get away
just now. for we need all we have
DO you expect to make any deals for
new players. and when?"
well. I have hopes OF course. you
know that ball clubs at this time of the
year are anxious to strengthen their
teams and consequently they try to get the
best of all proposed deals. That is why
it is difficult matter to put a deal
through. But while the American League
is in session here next week | will try
to pull off an exchange which may be of
unusual benefit to my team. l do not
want to have any players who are dis
satisfied. and for that reason 1 intend to
work for harmony in the team from the
outset. No. ] do not care to say what
New York players may be involved in pos
sible trades. for that would not be good
policy. I do not believe in making pre-
dictions. but it seems to me that have
some splendid material to work with
next season. All / shall ask is con-
scientious efforts from the players when
they begin the campaign. and if | am r.,
warded in this manner I think the fans
will see some fast ball played at 'Ameri-
can League Park. 1T is not an easy task
to take hold of tail-end team and work
it toward the top, and for that reason /.
do not expect to have the Highlanders In
their best strides before Decoration day.
But I believe they will begin the season
auspiciOusly and at least play better ball
than they did last year. President Far
rell has given unlimited power to me, and
therefore you can say that l alone will
be responsible for the teams showing.

FREE CARS QUESTION.

The question of free transportation
for the men of the feet is causing no
end of talk on al sides, and the gem
eral opinion seems to be that they
should be allowed to go free, The
japanese who have raised by public
subscription nearly $4,000 are anxious
that all but 5000 of it be turned over
to the Transportation Committee for
its fund, which will give every man in
uniform free rides. The matter will be
decided this afternoon by the executive
committee, but it is very doubtful If it
will agree to the proposal, as its APP
preparations at present are ahead OF
the cash on hand.
