ing in this country, they refused 10 be-
levc
This feeling undoubtedly caused many
owners and trainers not TO enter their
horses in this race.
Notwithstanding this and the fact that
many of the trainers threw cold water on
the race and undoubtedly influenced many
game owners who were inclined to take
long chance to win slice of the big
purse. nearly 1870 horses were named on
the first payment
This was a smaller number than Some
of the more enthusiastic promoters OF the
race expected. but il was considered to
he large enough to warrant the associa-
ton going with the race, particularly
as the entry represented the best stables
in the country and the horses entered
guaranteed great race.
The payments were on the inStallment
plan. there being three of 500 each and
u final payment of 5000. making total
of 500 TO start This but l per cent
of the purse, the cheapest entry for the
size of the purse in the history of har-
ness racing.
The total amount of money paid Into the
ST AXE in entrance fees was about 0,00n.
making the race cost the association
about $4,000.

AMATEURS ALL READY,
All Differences Strengthened Out and
Post Series Starts Friday.

At meeting last night of the amateur
board, which is arranging for the post
season championship series, every detail
was discussed. and now everything Is in
readiness for the opening game between
the Marines and Grace Friday. Mr..
f. w. Bolgiano occupied the chair. and
all the leagues with the exception of the
Capital City were represented.
Much of the time was taken up con-
sidering whether a forfeit game should
count as a game played. Several OF the
players. whose names have been handed
into the board, have played in four
games and have been present at a for
felt. and the rules require a player to
be in five games. this question was much
debated. A vote was taken, which re-
suited in j to against the player. That
is to say a player Is not eligible to play
in the series unless he has been in action
in five or more games. In the case of
a pitcher it is different and three games
played will make him eligible.
At the last meeting Heinrich, Handiboe
and Maple were protested against, but
last night Manager Williams came for
ward with proof to show that they were
eligible TO participate. Buscher was dis
qualified.
President Bond of the r. R. Y. NJ C.
A. League withdrew the name Of J. T.
Mcknight from his list. as the player
had not participated in the requisite num-
Der of games Manager Williams of the
Grace team brought charges of ineligi-
bility against De Hart and Atkins Of the
Marine team of the Marquette League
and Fenton and Litchfied of the c. A, c.
team of the Capital City League. and
the managers of those teams must prove
their eligibility by Thursday night in Or
der to make them eligible to play in the
series. By mutual consent of all the del
egates, the names of Usilton and Evans
were added to the lists of the Grace and
NeSco teams, respectively.
The entire Marine Band will be in at
tendance at the opening game between
the Marines and Grace at American
League Park Friday. The Section B
games will start Saturday at Union
League Park.

$4,000 HANDICAP
PROVED A SUCCESS

BOSTON. September THE feature of
the Readvile grand circuit meeting was.
of course. the $4,000 handicap race. No
turf event in years has begun to create
the interest and comment that this event
has ever since the conditions of the race
were announced by the directors of the
New England Trotting Horse Breeders
Association.
The whole scheme of the race was so
novel and such Il radical departure from
the plan of racing in vogue in this coun-
try. that ii took the public and the aver
age horseman some time 10 realize that il
was 10 joke. Indeed. some of the turf
journals insisted that the Readville man
agement was crazy and that the race
would be fizzle. That any trotting asso-
citation could see its way to offer a purse
of x5O,Oo0 for race that was upon
wholly new plan, at least in harness rae

Jeanette Down Again.

There was more feinting and holding
than anything else for minute of the
fifth, but that awful 'wallop'' of Lang
ford found a mark in minute or so and
down again went Joe. 1t was only jean
nette's shifty sprnting and holding that
saved him.
How those two blacks went at each
other for the last round! 1t was case
of do or did. and they stood jowl to jowl
and exchanged hooks, jabs and uppercuts
without giving away an inch. Jeanette
drove punch after punch to Langford's
stomach. and it did much damage that
Sam looked very nearly as glad to get
through as his opponent.

while the latter looked more and more

couple of times just enough to make

In the third Jeanette began to play
for Langfords stomach. and it was with
good results for the latter began to show
signs that he did not relish the treatment
and slowed down his attack. Jeanette s
foot work in the fourth left him well
away from Langford. who stood helpless
