Interesting and exciting.

The tug OF war will be between the

DOVEY CONFIRMS 1T.
Boston Owner Says He Has Settled
Difference With Kelley.

BOSTON, Mass. January 16,-President
George Dewey of the Boston National
League club arrived in town and confirm
ed the story that he and Joe Kelley had
settled their differences "out of court,
and further asserted that the so-called
Kelley case would never come before the
national commission.
MI Dewey said that his experience with
lawyers in cases before the national COM
mission had convinced him the best way
to settle base ball differences was for the
parties at variance to get together and
amicably arrange their cases without re-
course to law.
Il had no personal trouble with Joe
Kelley, asserted MIR. Dovey. 1T was
merely a disagreement in business.
Whether Joe will now accept the offer of
the Toronto club l am not in a position to
say. He is free agent and can do as he
pleases. We parted good friends. and 1
suppose he will go to Toronto, where he
was before ! drafted him. i wish him
every success. He is popular in Toronto.
and / know that President Mccartney is
anxious to get him.

STERZER'S CLAIM
is TURNED DOWN

Believing that he had a bunch of coin
coming from the Detroit club for the DAYS
intervening between the dates of the
opening of the American and Central
League seasons and the closing dates of
the same organizations. Buck Sterzer. the
young pitcher of this city, appealed to the
national commission for redress. The fol-
lowing finding was handed down by the
highest tribunal of base ball, which is in
cidentally some rub for Buck:
In re complaint of Player Carl G..
Sterzer
THE attention OF the commission was
called to this case by the player himself
Carl G. Sterzer. He contends that he
signed a contract for the year 1908 with
the Detroit club. and that before the sea-
son opened he was farmed out to Grand
Rapids of the Central League: that the
season in that league did not open until
April %. and as his contract with the
Detroit club commenced on the 18th he
claims the Detroit club owes him eight
days pay. and In addition thereto he
states that the Central League season
closed on the 18th of September, and that
he was supposed to go back TO Detroit
al the result of their exercising their OPP
ton which they had with the Grand
Rapids club: that when he took the mat
ter up with Mr.. Navin the latter informed
him that they would not need his services
until 1909. He contends that he received
no pay between the 18th of September.
the close of the Central League season,
and the 18th of October. the close of the
American League season. and for that
reason the Detroit club owes him 50 is -
The commission has passed on several
eases similar to this in the past. The
player is mistaken when he says he was
fsrned out to the Grand Rapids club His
release was sold in accordance with the
rules Of the commission, with an option

CANADIANS SNUB
THE JOCKEY CLUB
Without Consultation They
Wiped Buffalo Track From
Off the Circuit.

NEW YORK. January 16.-In Jockey
Club circles yesterday there was more
than surprise expressed at the distribu-
ton of racing dates made by the Cana
dian racing associations, which, without
warrant Of sport or Of unwritten but rec
ognized law, threw Wentworth Park
Buffalo. out of all consideration. 1t was
considered the most direct slap in the
face that the New York Jockey Club
ever received It was a judgment rem
dered in advance Of court decisions, and
they said. an assumption that there will
be no racing in Buffalo in July next.
1t may be stated on highest authority
that the Canadian racing associations
never consulted the Jockey Club in this
matter but proceeded entirely on the
assumption that they were SUFFICIENT
unto themselves. 1t was predicated upon
the belief that there would be no rae
ing at Wentworth Park next year, which
is not justified. kenilworth Park is not
out Of existence, nor is race meeting
there beyond proba bility.
1t is claimed to be a case In which the
Canadians have not only been prema-
ture. but in which, 1t is alleged, they
have done an injustice, however un1n-
territorial. The track at Buffalo always
had enjoyed the privilege of racing IN
the month OF July Last year. because
Of the peculiar conditions existing in
New York, Buffalo did not race. Last
year went with the December SHOWS,
but with every court decision favorable
to the cause the Canadian associations,
in advance of other years. have MADE
their dates without taking 1t into con-
sideration at all. There is not any sub
Stantial foundation for the theory that
Buffalo may not again race. but its
dates. which have been respected since
1902. have been gobbled up.
Meanwhile the Jockey Club is power
less II cannot treat with any lnchoate,
unincorporated company such as Is rep
resented by the Canadian associations,
because there is no Canadian Jockey
Club There is no body with which 1t
may take up the matter. Buffalo al
ways has considered itself and has been
considered as part of the second or
the Canadian circuit. and It's cutting OF
is regarded as an unthoughtful act at
least.
In no previous year have the dates of
the second circuit been announced in
advance Of those of the Jockey Club.
1t is not too late by mutual agreement
to remedy these matters. and the rem
edy of them might mean the incorpora-
ton of kenilworth Park into the circuit,
providing it should see its way clear to
race 1t would cause only a rearrange-
ment of the schedule without injustice
TO any one, and II is believed when the
case is properly presented that such
sportsmen as Joseph E. Seagram. Sir FL.
Montague Allan, Judge Mouck George
Hendrie and John Madigan Will consent

BAN ON NIGHT PRACTICE.
Blue and Gray Track Team Hard Hit
nv Ruling of Faculty.,

The faculty directors of athletics at
Georgetown University yesterday inform
ed Manager Corcoran of the track team
that there could be no more work done on
the basement track of the Healy building
after o'clock in the evening. This kills
the plan just started of having law
sCECol men, who, on "c"oUnt OF other
duties, are not able to Sel around while
the sun is UP and hence were to do their
training in the evening. A number OF
good men had already prepared to take
advantage of the privilege. but now that
the evening work is forbidden, these men
will be lost to the squad.
The stand taken by the faculty directors
is that students in the upper floors OF
the building are in study at that time. and
hence the noise of the runners would be
disturbance to them. AS studies are
considered of the first Importance, the
athletic work had to give them prece-
dence Immediately after the announce
ment of the edict all the light fixtures
were removed, so that there Is not much
chance Of any one getting any beneficial
training now after the stars come out
unless he does it by moonlight
downtown building will be engaged for
certain nights of the week wherein the
men may have plenty Of time to do their
stunts If this idea is carried out 1t Will
greatly strengthen the tedn SINCE SOME
of the best cinder path candidates of
the law and medical schools are too busy
in the daytime to come out with the
others.
Coach MulIigan arrived from Philadel-
phit last night and Immediately called on
Manager Corcoran. He will remain In the
city for some days, during which time he
will assist Coach Bill Foley in develop
ing the men.
It was made certain yesterday that mel

Even If this wasn't in their way they
