CI UB OWNERS ALSO
HAVE TROUBLES

Apept the defense Of the rights of ball
players. 1t might be fair to present some
or the arguments of base ball magnates
who constantly are called upon to ac-
count to the public for their refusal to
grant the at times unreasonable demands
of prima donna players. None begrudges
the player the right to obtain the most
possible for his skill, which at best seldom
covers more than span of ten years
active service. Public sympathy often
forces a club owner to pay more than
he wants and sometimes more than he
can afford. for public wrath is penalty
no sane owner will face unless pusned
to the limit Neither will any one con-
versant with equity MAINTAIN @ tnaa mu, nn1
tuality exists in present-day base ball
contracts. But against these two charges
owners of ball clubs argue and with
much good logic that present conditions
are for the greatest good OF the greatest
number In an open market. with play
ers free to go where they chose at the
end of the season or at the termination
of a contract, there would be such q
scramble of excited bids and extravagant
offers as would wreck most leagues be-
fore July 4. the usual dissolution time for
weak organizations. And after all. say
the magnates, the certainty of salary and
the stability of base ball fabric are what
make base ball attractive to the class OF
players who within the last ten years
have elevated the game to its present
plane Once there was a mild stigma at
tached to professional ball playing. Now,
in most instances the diamond heroes are

ture and building up business during

Of battle. So much for the argument
of the magnates. And to the average
salaried man who receives $40 TO $50 for
a full weeks work. the 5000 to 5000
and more received by diamond stars ap-
pears quite a comfortable salary. Before
the present effective national agreement
was as strong as now. the maximum sal

PRINCETON, n. j.. May S.-Although
Princeton gave fine exhibition of sprint

Yale scored 80 points to Princeton's one.
In the track events Princeton won over
Yale by score of As to 10.
The field events presented nothing ex-
;raordinary in the way of distance or
height, the Yale men winning with ease.
In the dashes and runs there were some
fine performances. W. l.. Dawbarn of
Princeton won the 1OO-yard dash in 10
seconds and the 22O-yard dash in u 3-5
seconds, the latter time establishing a
new Princeton record for the distance.
The previous Princeton record of u 4-5
seconds has stood for eighteen years.
MCGEE of Princeton distinguished himself
in the mile and two-mile races capturing
the former in 4 minutes % 3-5 seconds
and the latter in . minutes 80 seconds.
McConger's victory for Princeton in the
were complete surprises.
Capt. Howe of Yale took the 12O-yard
hurdles by a few inches from Dwight OF
Princeton, but in the 22O-yard hurdles he
struck hurdle. which threw him from

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, Nd, May 8. Posed

Of the torpedo boat Manley, which was
the referees boat. Secretary Of the Navy
Meyer this afternoon proved mascot for
two Navy crews. Seated far forward
by himself, like the lone fisherman. his
eyes snapped with pleasure as the Navy
varsity nosed out a victory over the
Columbia varsity after two miles Of as
game and exciting boat racing as was
ever seen on the Severn river. His SYM
pathies were also clearly with the young
Navy Plebes when these won from the
Philadelphia Central High School in a
contest Of q mile and a half.
The time In the two contests was: First
race-Navy varsity 8 minutes 56 3-5 sec
onds; Columbia, 10 minutes w seconds.
Second race-Navy Plebes, minutes 2-5

The Secretary, with Supt. Badger. was
taken aboard the Manley at the foot Of
Maryland avenue, and his family and
official party. with number Of personal
friends, had the torpedo boat Bagley at
their disposal and followed the crews
over the greater part Of the course.
The big race was rowed first. Prompt
ly with the crack Of the starters gun
sixteen oars drove into the water, each
| minute. Navy got decidedly the better
start and held her advantage until at
the mile mark she was rowing thirty
three strokes to the minute. pulling a
little raggedy, but leading by a quarter
of length of open water. At the mile
mark Columbia rowing in classy form
and apparently strong, responded to the
coxswain's call for a squirt and showed
the stroke back to thirty-five per minute.
Navy let her opponent gain steadily un-
til the last half mile was entered, and
then the Sailors met Capt. Leighton's
call for squirt. Raising the stroke 10
thirty-five again they reopened the dis
tance until the finish line was crossed
with the MILDLY shell showing a quarter
length Of open water on Columbia. The
race was one in which the Sailors won
in the first half Of the contest, but need
ed every bit Of their lead when the Wis
itors began to squirt in the final mile.
The plebe race was something like the
senior contest, In that the Navy shell

there are $50 men-S16, 800. If among the
5000 minor league players there be 1000
who are not wearing overalls or flour
sacks. may assume that they are pay
ing SO a season for uniforms That is
$4,000 more for base ball clothing, max
ing the aggregate for all the players al
most $4,000.
Gloves Expensive.
Gloves are another expensive modern re-
quirement In the good old days when
Adrian c. Arson was just beginning to
nlay the game the catcher was the only
gentleman who wore NIT, and his init
cost about 81. Now every man on the
team has to have two pairs OF gloves
each season, and the price is 81 per. That
amounts to 81 $40 for the players In the
big leagues. to which $4,000 must be
added If ii be assumed that two-thirdS
of the small leaguers wear gloves. The
base bail glove bill. therefore, amounts
to $63.S49 a year.
Two pairs OF specially made shoes are
also required for each player. Base ball
shoes cost SIS pair. The shoe bill OF
the big leagues is thus $4,000, while the
minors pay $4,000 mOre-S1O5,OUu In ALL
Probably it would be safe to add $4,000
for catchers' masks. chest protectors and
SO on: then we make take up the item
of hotel bills. Base ball players have
enormous appetites. Many hotelkeepers
would rather see them stop somewhere
else, ana HODOuy Will Keep tHcL cat
ing and give them a place to sleep
for less than So a day. That's $50 a
month for the $50 players in the big
leagues. The season lasts SIX months,
long enough to run hotel bills aggregat-
ing $3O2, 400. OF course the players have
to pay their own board. but 1t all comes
out of the game.
If 400 of the minors have formed the
habit of eating and paying $1.5O day
therefore. you can take S1,O40,O00 from
81 ~ la,fnc 10 off h0I
It thus appears that during the base ball
season it costs $1.342.O to feed the per-
formers.
There is also travelling to be done. In
the big leagues the jumps are short
Probably so each week would, on the
average, cover the expenses. That
amounts to S14. $50 for the season. Some
of the minor leaguers ride bicycles or get
the old man to take them to the next
town in the buggy. Perhaps 1000 pat
ronize the railroads TO the extent Of IS
a week. If so, that accounts for $500. 900
of their salaries. and makes the total
base bali travelling bill 1854, $50.
Recapitulation.
The foregoing items constitute the main
items of receipt and expenditure neces-
sary to the conduct of the base ball in
dustry. Some items are left cut because
they cannot well be put in. The cost of
ball grounds is such an item. In the big

TARAL TO RETIRE.
Great Jockey Cannot Stand Strain Of
Training.

VIENNA, May s.-The Dutchman has
ridden his last race. Fred Taral has
given up riding. This was the sensational
piece of news that spread among the
sporting public recently. Taral cannot
stand the continual strain of reducing and
sweating. and before 1t ruined his health
entirely he decided to retire. He arrived
here four weeks ago weighing lat pounds
and rode Sunday at 40 pounds, but to do
this he had 10 suffer all the miseries, and
1t came to a stage where physician had
to be called In. and he advised Taral to
stop before il was too late. This advice
together with the pressure brought to
bear upon him by his wife and friends,
Induced the greatest jockey in American
turf history TO retire from the saddle.
Tarars record in Austria and Hungary
compares more than favorably with his
record at home. In the eight years he
has been riding over here he was six
times champion and once each second and
third. He has won all the big races and
classics, both here and in Germany.
The Dutchman is the idol of the turf
public, both in Vienna and Budapest. and
never was rider so popular. His APP
pearance In preliminary canter was al
ways signal for a round of cheers, and
the word Taral has got to be synonymous
with honesty and fairness The news that
Taral has quit is not yet two days old,
and he has already received flood of let
ters, all from unknown senders, begging
him to continue riding.
In all the time that Taral was over
here he has never missed a day in the
sweatroom. and I'm eight years has visited
a theater but once. In the couple of days
that he has kept away from the baths
now he has already gained nineteen
pounds. This is the best evidence of what
he went through all these years.
Taral is not certain what he will do in
the future but he will probably train for
one of the big stable owners, as any
number have made him offers. with very
fattering retainers, to train for them.
Taral was always as popular with the
owners as with the public. With his ex-
perience he is certain to be just as sue
cessful a trainer as he was a great rider.
The entire Vienna and Budapest press
is devoting columns of praise and express
sions of regret about Taral, and never be-
fore has a piece of news worked SO SEN
sationalfy on the sporting public as has
Tarars retirement from the pigskin.
The Jockey Club has given Taral q
complimentary letter thing that II has
never done before. and this shows best
what they think of the "kingpin. of jock
eys'' in the upper circles of the most au.
tocratic OF jockey clubs
