SPORTING NOTES
RACING FOR CHICAGO AND
VICINITY IS PROPOSED NOW

full sway and a card of six races will
be offered to tempt the hungry racing
fans of Chicago To the track.
1t was admitted by one of the men
associated with Flaws in the venture
that the running events during the
Great Western gathering were to be
but a feeler and that in the event that
they proved a success there would be
a thirty days meeting for runners ex-
clusively at ingalls, park beginning Au-
gust 80.
It was also admitted that there would
be betting. Whether the wagering
would be under the oral system now
in vogue in the east or under the pool
sellin gsystem or open bookmaking was
not stated. OF course. the success Of
the meeting depends on whether or not
betting will be permitted at the track.
Wagers have been made for years at
the harness races throughout the state
and 1t is argued that the proposed
meeting of runners will not be disturb
ed provided it is not run on too elabor-
ate plan.
If the ingalls, park venture proves a
success it will be the first racing held
in the vicinity of Chicago since the
closing down Of the sport at the Local
tracks in the fall of 1904. when all
courses were closed. following the end
ing of the game at Washington park.

The proposed revival of racing for
Chicago and vicinity took a leap out
of the talk stage yesterday when two
of the associations which have been
limiting at a return of the sport Of
kings" made definite announcements Of
their plans.
Magnus Flaws, the local horseman.
who is engineering the mixed harness
and running meeting which will be
given at ingalls, park during the week
ending August %. announced that the
Joliet meeting would furnish $4,000 in
purses for the horsemen. 1t was stated
that SO, 900 of this amount would fall
to the lot of the followers Of the trot-
tiers and PAGERS and that the remainder
would go to the runners.
It had been understood among CO.
terie of local horsemen for several
weeks that an attempt to pull off a
running meeting would be made in con-
nection with the Great Western circuit
races at the Joliet track, but yesterday s
announcement was the first official
word on the subject
According to the statement Issued by
Flaws. there will be harness races ev-
cry day of the week save Saturday with
two or three running races interspersed.
On Saturday, August %, the last day
of the meeting, the runners will hold

MAY NOT RETAIN TITLE
Ketchel, Who Is Growing
Stouter, Likely to Quit
Middle Weight Glass.
INCENSED OVER CRITICISM
Says Papke Is Not Easy Man to
Whip, Especially With
Damaged Hands.

San Francisco. July STANLEY Ket
chel may drop the middlew weight class
altogether as the result of his bout of
the 4th with Billy PaplIe The cham
pion freely admits that 1t IS commenc-
ing to tell on him when he tries to re-
duce to the limits of his class, and 1t
is likely that he will blossom out as
full fedged heavy weight This
would mean that he will have to drop
his middle-weight title.
"Outside Of Jack Johnson there is
nobody likely to meet him where the
weight would be any disadvantage"
said Willus Britt today. "Jeffries is
not anxious to enter the ring again and
would be glad to have Stanley take on
the bout with Johnson in his place. JEFF
fries does not like to train and nothing
would please him better than to have
Ketchel take up the burden of licking
Johnson in his place If Stanley can
hold his own in the heavy weight class,
he can make more money as champion
of that division than by boxing as a
middle weight. Jeffries and johnson
are the only two men in sight who look
really dangerous. The Kaufmans and
Barrys would not give over much troub-
lie.
Britt and Ketchel both are incensed
over the criticism which has continued
to follow his latest bout with Papke.
Anybody who thinks Papke is an
easy man to stop has another guess
coming" said Ketchel today. He can
stand an awful lot of pounding and
doesn't know what the word quit
means. When you consider that both
my hands were disabled and the weight
was really lower than I ought to be
asked to make, don't see where any
comment can come in. 1 beat Papke
and that's all there is to It,"

NO GAME 9 STORMS

ST. Louis, Mo, July $40 two games
yesterday-nine transforms. The white
sox and browns were prevented from
their scheduled double clash owing to
Indictment weather, and Indictment is the
mildest word any one applies to the
weather down here. A succession of
transforms, each hotter than the other,
added to the forces Of old General HUI
midity and kept the teams from play
Ing. Both clubs were on the grounds,
ready to play at least one game, when
another downpour. which wrecked
Louie Comiskey's new straw bonnet,
put an end to the last hope
The browns were anxious to play.
Having violated the rules of the league
by only playing one Tuesday, when
they should have played two, they
wanted TO get in at least one yester-
day to save them from the wrath OF
Ban Johnson.

PIRATES NABBED 1T

Pittsburg. Pa. July S.-These cham
pion cubs now wish they had not stop
ped off here yesterday for another look
at the manifold beauties of Forbes field.
The inhospitable pirates. while show
ing Chance and company the sights,
trimmed the Chicago outfit, to 2,
mostly through main strength with the
bat.
In the absence of Mr.. Reulbach, the
ptomaine kid, the cub leader was forced
to hook up Hagerman, as Mordecia
Brown likewise was among the absent.
At times 1t was a relief to turn from
Tommy Leach to the less hectic scene
ry in the shape of B. & o. coal cars and
the Carnegie library. Those things
are all right in the way. but Tommy
could make better noise in the pres
ence of invited guests by not swatting
so much.

JACK JOHNSON rs
CHOICE FOR BOUT
Odds on Ketchel Bout Are
No Longer Even Money.

San Francisco. July SACK Johnson
has suddenly switched into favoritism
as the result of the Ketchel-Papke
bout here. Before the match Stanley's
fine showing with Jack O'Brien and his
general condition led to his being held
at even money with the black man in
their match of September. After the
bout with Papke the odds dropped I'M
til Johnson is now favorite. Not much
betting of Importance is recorded. bur
the shift simply shows the change in
public sentiment.
New York, July SIN the various
places where money is held by the pro-
prietors on the outcome of important
sporting events it was reported today
that even money on Johnson was no
longer obtainable. The men who have
been posting S. and $40 wagers all
want good odds when they back Ket-
chel to beat him.

team goes to Valparaiso, where they
hope to win, as Valparaiso has a very
strong team this year. The fare to
