DETROIT. Feb 25.-Close: Argen-
tine wheat exports for this week are
estimated considerably less than a
week ago. and the whole outlook shows
little help for the bear. with the one
exception. that receipts are litti.
larger than year ago. caused by the
high prices. There is desire on the
part OF dealers to trade In the July OPP
ton. but they are nervous. fearing that
Patten NAV sell the market on. The
MAY deal is nervous also. and general
speculation light. The market was
rather quiet all day with prevailing
tone OF ftrmness.

KRAMER WILL NOT RIDE TOMORROW
BECAUSE OF HIS FATHERS ILLNESS

Clarke, of COURSE, is4a strong favorite
with Kramer out, but it is no sure
thing that he will win. for Fogler's
loss will be keenly felt by him. Then
when 1t comes to the last spring Fogler
and Fem can be counted on to give
Clarke and Lawson all the fight the
latter can take care of.
There is also a better possibility of
a new record, owing to the hard rid
ing, and Kramer's time of 81 minutes
70 3-5 seconds will very likely be
eclipsed. The riders, after a two weeks
hard training, are IN wonderful form.
One thing certain is that there will be
a new champion, as Kramer is the
present title-holder, and he will not
compete.
The rest of the card. the match race
between Freddy West and John Bedell
and the one-mile amateur handicap and
three-mile' amateur open give promise
of excellent sport for the areweIl TO
the season Of 1909.

~ NE of the gamest little PAGERS
seen hereabouts in a long while
is the bay gelding, Wild Wave,
2.l7A, by Gammarius, a producing son
of Gambetta Wilkes. This gimpy little
bay selding has a bundle of speed and
stepped a lot of miles better than his
record during the past season, with a
knee as large as a boys head. y With a
careful wintering he will be a hard
horse to pea in his class in another
season. He held the worlds record over
a regulation mile track on ice, having
paced a mile at Glens Falls, N. Y, in
2:14 during the winter of 1906.
1t is reported that James Fallen has
decided to send the chestnut pacing
%gelding, Macbeth, 2:17A, to the coming
Old Glory sale; somebody will get a
package of extreme speed.
The half-mile track at Ryle Park,
Paterson, will be flooded this winter
and a meeting will be given on the ice,
II the weather gets cold enough to make
the event possible.
For the past month or six weeks the
colt trotters and PAGERS have furnished
plenty to talk aobut, the breeders are
making rapid strides and the colts tell
the story.
Today's matinee events at Weeaua-
hic Park close the season of 1909; the
program includes a trotting and a pac-
ing handicap, the horse standing best
at the end of the third heat to be de.
clared the winner.
1t would be interesting to figure on
how much race managers save by in
serting the clause zone money only to
a winner" 1t i%sNdoubtful If it amounts
to much at meetings where the entries
more than pay for the purses. There is
absolutely no excuse for withholding
any part of the purse from the compet--
ing horses. Some of the other associa-
tions might find that the entry list
would be, larger, Il the qualification were
eliminated.
There will be three. weeks racing over
the Speedway. beginning one week from
today. The course is in excellent con-
diticn n some fast halves should be
reeled off.

HOOKS AND JABS.

Tom McCarey, the fight promoter of
Los Angeles, Cal, will make a bid for
the championship battle between Jim
Jeffries and Jack johnson. He has al
ready secured the consent of twenty
prominent sporting men to contribute
q big sum of money, and as 300 more
a guaranteed to buy .ringside seats
Tor Sloo each, he feels certain that he
will be in a position to offer the largest
purse of any of the other club man
ayers.
Sailor Burke is not going to fight
Billy Papke at the West Side A.. c. of
New Orleans this afternoon. The ex-tar
sent word to the club officials a few
days ago that he was suffering from
ohills and would not be able, to take
Papke on. Papke is now claiming that
Burke deliberately f1unked out of the
match, as he feared he was in for a
good t%rouncing.
The limited round bout between
PaclSey Mcfarland and Cyclone John
ny" Thompson, which was slated to be
fought at the Empire A. c.. of Kansas
City on Monday night. will take place
at the New West Side A. c. of New

declined to allow the club officials of
the Empire A. G. to postpone their
bout for a week, and Immediately ac-
cepted the offer of the New Orleans
club for a fight.
Now that the championship battle be-
tween Jim Jeffries and Tack johnson
has finally been clinched. the prospects
are that every fight promoter in the
country will begin to~scnd in their bids
for the contest. Jimmy Coffroth will
