JOCKEY CLUB TO
REFORM RACING
Do Away With Field Stand,
Claiming 1t Will End the
Betting Evil.

New York. Dec 2S.-The World says to-
day: Everybody who wishes TO see rae
ing next season viii have 10 buy grand
stand badge or remain outside of the To-
cal race tracks. There will be no field
stand for the next two years This has
been decided upon by the Jockey CLUB
stewards.
The Jockey club stewards, realizing that
they will enter a new era Of the turf next
season, have determined TO build from
the foundation up 10 establish the sport.
In order to build correctly and to keep
away from the danger shoals of reform
they have made the move.
1T was the men who frequented the
one dollar Enclosure that caused the anti
betting crusade TO develop These race
gOers with small salaries and limited IL
nanciai accounts were badly crippled when
they went 20 the race tracks and LOST
their money. AS a result many families
suffered Consequently there was an at
tack on race track gambling which
brought about the repeal of the Percy
Gray betting law.
Another feature agreed upon by the
nagnates is the establishment Of COM
ELEMENTARY tickets. Next year everybody
who attends the races will have 10 pay

eoIw TO PREAcHIN IN THE OLD MISSOURI DAYS

Bible as his sole platform. During his
two or three-hour discourse he would
wander from cover to cover, winding
up with the cataclysm wildly described
by st. John.
His hearers would seriously have
questioned the orthodoxy of a preacher
who left hell out of a discourse Of
course, he dwelt largely on the giories
of the better world, the joys of recon-
Citation with loved ones and the streets
of gold. but he was particularly strong
on hell fire and the burning lake of
birthstone.
Uncle jumps Dysart. Presbyterian
pioneer preacher, once gave this ink
ling of what eternity meant:
IF you should be lost and con-
demned eternally, and the devil were
to give you the job on draining the
Charlton river by taking out of it one
drop of water a year, when you got the
river dry you would only be at the sun

well known citizen of Randolph
county. who as a boy sat under the
cheerful ministrations of one of these
strenuous beacon lights of the early pc
Rod, thus describes his symptoms:
THE preachers talk on the better
world never excited very much interest
in my youthful mind, because his idea
of heaven wasn't near as fascinating as
staying down here hunting coons. rob-
bling birds nests and stealing water
melons. But when he switched off on
the other place he had yours truly go

Never before or since, in heaven
above or on earth below, have 1 en-
countered anything that inspired me
with such abject terror as his delinea-
tons of the Angel Gabriel and the Great
Judgment Day. They used to sing a
terrible old song about great day
coming that would have made my san
dy hair stand on end had not such al
ready been its normal condition.
AS the effect of scary songs and ser
mons on naturally nervous tempera-
ment, [ can truthfully say that for a
number of years ! never saw a thunder
storm without being almost scared into
fits / always pictured Gabriel in the
role of prosecuting attorney. and never
doubted but what he would be thor
oughly onto his job. and like others of
that class would rake up every little
old thing against me, so I would have
no possible showing to come clean

of him as blowing his trumpet with one
foot planted on the land and one on the
sea, Notwithstanding my terror of Ga
oriel / would have a secret admiration

CHANCE DID NOT
SAY He HAD QUIT
Looks as if Cub Leader Would
Be in Charge Again
Next Year.

Los Angeles. Cal. Dec. 2S-Frank
Chance. captain of the Chicago Cubs
ball team. gave out an interview here last
night regarding the report that he will
not manage the Chicago team the coming
season. According to Chances statement,
this difficulty is not due to money mat
tiers nor to any interference with Chance 5
authority in the past. He said:
Il have signed a contract TO play with
Chicago for three or four years. and If j
don't go there i cannot play any place.
There is little difference between Presi-
dent Murphy and myself on the money
question. sbut that is not serious and l
suppose we can fix that all right. j never
said / would not go back to Chicago TO
play ball, but that ! would prefer not TO
go if the present conditions existed next
year.
Il have not seen President Pullman and
do not know whether or not he is In
town. He has limited that he might want
to butt into the management of the team
next year"

NO CUP RACE NEXT YEAR
New York Yacht Club Has Not Re-
ceived Challenge Up
fn Date

New York Dec. 23.-It seems practically
certain that there will be no international
race next year. inasmuch as the time limit
surrounding the deed of gift has practical
" expired 1t is stipulated in the deed
that at least ten months notice of chal-
lenge be given while no race shall be held
between Nov. l and May l. This would
make it necessary for the New York
Yacht club to receive challenge before
the end of this month. which is considered
SO improbable in yachting circles that the
belief of no race in 1909 has become. an
accepted fact.
THE reason that there will be no in
ternational race during the coming year
is attributable principally to the failure of
tain changes in the rules governing the
construction of boats which have been
suggested from time to time by Sir
Thomas Upton, who stood ready to chal-
lenge if such changes were agreed upon.

Macon, Mo.-Many a white-haired
Missourian will stoutly contend that
never before nor since has the world
heard as pure a brand of melody as
that flung heavenward in the days of
the old-time revival. That "sacrile-
glous agent of the devil" the organ,
had not then butted in. If it had been
trying to mix in on the singing, no
body would have heard it.
When the white-haired patriarch
started in on "Old Hundred" he didn't
have to signify to the congregation
that they might join in the singing.
That's what they were there for, and
if any specially drilled choirmaster had
undertaken to assume the musical
privileges there would certainly have
been a disturbance. ..
In the vernacular of the day, ''goin'
to preachin' was the event of the
month. For several days previously
the wife and girls of the household
would be busy fixing things to eat
while in camp, and putting double
rivets on the small boys trousers and
shirts. The hired man was left at home
to look after things His salvation
could be looked after by the other
members of the household the same as
if he were present in the body.
The meetings were generally held I'M
der the trees. After Elder Bill Sears
ferryboat was put out of business by
the big bridge across the Charlton river
on the Hannibal and St. Joseph pike
the bridge was a popular place for
camp meetings. Brother j. W. Cook, a
Baptist exhorter, once preached from
the center of the bridge to congrega-
ton of 1000 scattered around on both
banks of the stream.
Half Were Barefoot.
He must have delivered an unusual
ly powerful sermon. for couple of sin
ners who had been fishing down the
river away that Sunday afternoon
came up and knelt down with mourn
ers. Half the men in the congregation
were barefooted and few wore coats
After the preaching Brother Sears bap-
tized twenty-five converts in the muddy
stream.
The baptized converts instantly be-
came a hero or a heroine. if the opera
ton was stood without undue gurgling
and going on Friends gathered around
and warmly shook hands. Sometimes
big meetings were held in winter and ii
was necessary to break the ice to get
the converts thoroughly wet.
1t was the belief of the day that no
one caught cold as a result OF such ex-
posture. Indeed. il was regarded as
