SOUSA'S $29, $40 SAVED.
Wife Reached Gotham Bank in Nick
OF Time.

NEW YORK. February John Philip
Sousa and his band must doff caps to
woman's superior judgment and quick
wit at the time of financial crisis. Three
women-the wife and daughters OF the
bandmaster himself-saved the entire
funds of the organizatioh-nearly $4,000
on deposit at the New Amsterdam Ma
tional Bank just ten minutes before it
closed Wednesday.
Yesterday at the home of Mr.. Sousa,
81 Madison avenue. the feminine members
of the Sousa family were kept busy re-
spending to the congratulations that came
pouring in.
Miss Helen Sousa, the youngest daugh-
ter. whose persistent urging persuaded
her mother to take the step which re-
suited in saving the funds. yesterday
afternoon told a reporter all about the
affair.
She admitted that she and her sister
and mother had definitely trained them
selves in matters financial in order that
they might be able to protect the in
terests of the bandmaster while he was
away on his PROFESSIONAL trips.
Mother takes charge of all father
business when he is away" she explained.

Joe Kelley. the new manager of the
Boston Nationals is down in the mouth
and his gils are getting lean. Joe was
happy and had great hopes of the Bean
eaters this year until he heard that
Malachi kittredge had made the predic-
ton that Joe's team would finish one. two
or three in the coming race. Now Joe
fears the worst. for he has long re-
garded Malchi as the champion hoodoo
guesser. Malachi thought Montreal would
win last year. and the Royals came in a
limping eighth.

Owner John I. Taylor of the Boston
Americans has secured young outf1elder
for the coming season who will be closely
watched. He has just come to terms with
Walter Carlisle, the Los Angeles player
who is said to be the most sensational
outfielder that has been on the coast in
many seasons, and many say he will
make good with the big fellows right at
the start.
Word came from San Francisco last
night that George Moriarity. the crack
third baseman and outfielder of the
Yankees, would. in all probability, stay
on the coast. Moriarity has a brother In
Stockton who has influenced the Yankee
player to stay west. Moriarity will prob
ably play with the Stockton team of the
outlaw California league. If George fails
to return he will make the third major
league player to succumb to the wiles OF
the outlaws. Strcklett, the Brooklyn
twirler. has cast his lot with the Santa
Cruz club, and Blankenship, the Wash
ington catcher, will work with the Fresno
team next summer.

PHILADELPHIA. February AT a
meeting held Thursday morning in the

registration committee decided to stand
by its old decision and refused the
petition of Melvin Sheppard, who was
disqualified for fouling Haskins, the

yard race last Friday at the First Regi-
ment Armory.
Sheppard was backed by numerous
clubs and athletic associations which
are DESTROYS of his reinstatement, he
is scheduled to appear in their games
for the coming indoor season.
The Metropolitan Association was
quite strong in its recommendation to
the Middle Atlantic body that Sheppard
be again put in good standing, but the
latter was firm and decided to uphold it's
first decision.
Dr. Chadwick, the chairman, stated
that the offense was not personal one,
so no amount of apologies of Sheppard
to Haskins could affect the matter. He
said that the committee had suspended
the New York runner. and unless the
committee was shown to be In the wrong

GOOD RUNNERS
COMING TO BENNING

NEW YORK, February Tom Nc
Creery will be one of the early arrivals at
Benning this spring. Yesterday McCreery
announced that he would move his stable
to the course of the Washington Jockey
Club and endeavor to have the lot ready
for the opening of the season.
The horses he will take over are Greene
and Right and True, for T. NJ. Cassidy;
Royal Lady for Roxie Angarola: Obert
and four two-year-olds belonging to Fred
erick Johnson, and Golden Sea, a promis-
ing two-year-old filly that Will race imthe
colors of Fred Horwitz.
Last fall McCreery handled Red Friar

late in the fall that he came to anything
like form, and there will be no attempt to
hurry him this year.

Creery's down at Belmont Park will re-
main there with his high-class three-year-
old FLY Notasulga. She is very literally
engaged and it is the present intention of
her owner and trainer to have her ready
for an early start. She will probably be
seen under colors at the Belmont Park
meeting.
AS a two-year-old she was developed at
New Orleans and had earned a goodly
share of reputation long before the east
ern season commenced. She has been
wintering nicely, and Hamel has good
reason for the belief that it will take :

His present intention is to begin with
