KING JAMES FtVORITE
WITH FAYETTE NEXT UP
Twenty Thousand Eagerly Await Be
ginning of Season-officers VIII
See That Anti-Gambine
Laws Are Enforced.

New York, May 12.-Horse racing ON
its Notwithstanding for the excitement
of the sport and with bookmaking
eliminated-will have its tryout on tba
metropolitan circuit tomorrow with the
opening of the 1909 turf season at Bel
mont park, under the auspices of the
Westchester Racing association. Whils
the anti-betting laws were in effect
during part of last season, this was
not sufficient to prove conclusively
whether racing could survive under the
new conditions, and now comes the
test
There will be oral betting this year,
as the legality of this method of MAX
ing wagers has been sustained bv the
appellate division of the supreme
court. but in order to keep within
the statute passed by the legislature
no recording of wagers will be per-
mitted.
Adopting every means for increasing
receipts, which fell off as the result
of the adverse anti-betting legislation.
the old admission fee of So has been
restored at Belmont park, but indica-
stions are that with fair weather the in
augural tomorrow will be witnessed by
10000 persons eager to witness the
start of the sport of kings" handi-
capped by legal restrictions, but with
prospects of success even under the
new regime.
As in former years, the Metropolitan
handicap will be the chief feature, al
belt reduced in value this year from
$4,000 to $4,000. Notwithstanding this,
there are 10 entries for the event which
ranks well with the entry lists of days
gone by.
That part of the public which follows
the racing game finds itself praticu-
larly eager for the opening; not only
because of the anxiety concerning the
experimental aspect of things, but be-
cause of the lateness of the season.
Heretofore the racing season has
started a full month earlier, but 1t was
postponed this year. and in addition
the days for racing were reduced to
Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
The meet will close on June 2.
All the horses for the Metropolitan
handicap finished tn cir trials yesterday
on the Lond Island courses. Jack At
kns looked upon as a likely starter
and probable fayorite, will not start.
He was scratched, it is understood, be-
cause of the almost prohibitive weight
of 1923 pounds imposed and because his
condition indicated tnat ne would run
to better advantage in the Toboggan
handicap on Saturday. With him out
it is the prevailing opinion in racing
circles that King James, one of the
IIildreth entries, will go to the post
a favorite. with John e. Maddens
Fayette second choice
It is generally understood that the
sheriff of the county in which Belmont
park lies has been instructed by Gov
ernor Hughes to have squad of depu-
ties available to see that the anti
gambling laws are enforced. The
Jockey club. however, has said emphat-
ically that there will be no bookmak-
| ing and it is expected the day will pass
unmarried by police interference.

Little Rock, May 12.-(Special.) the
opening round of their initial encounter
with the rejuvenated Travellers, the Bar
one gave one of the wierdest exhibitions
ever seen on the local diamond. Three
times in that first inning Birmingham
infelder was forced to stand and hold the
ball, while the Travellers raced about the
sacks because no one was covering the
base where the throw should have been
made.
The locals got but three clean hits in
this inning, one of which did not count in
the scoring, and yet they put eight runs
over the pan, settling the outcome right
at the start They batted clear around
before any one got out. Fleharty sue
ceeded Schopp in the box during this ses-
sion, and during the remainder of the
game the Barons held the Travellers on
even terms. But the damage. was ire
trievably done.
Kanes finger was split by a foul-tip in
the sixth, and he will be out of the game
for at least a week.
Cocash doubled to start the first and
Boucher beat his intended sacrifice. Per-
ry hit TO Schopp. There was no one COW
ering first, and the bases were full Sentz
hit to Morris, who threw to the plate too
late to get Cocash. Collins doubled to
left, scoring three more runs. Tarleton
hit to Morris, VINO fumbled. Flood bound
ed one TO Schopp and again there was
no one on first. The bases were full
again. Casey hit to ELAN. He turned
ris was far away. By the time he threw
to first, Casey was there. Collins scored.
Folbre doubled to center, Tarleton and
Flood scoring, but Wordsworth threw
Casey out at the plate
Here Fleharty went into the box. Fol-
bre took third on Molesworth's throw and
scored on Cocash's fly to Molesworth.
Boucher singled and stole, but was left
when Perry grounded to the pitcher.
In the sixth Cocash liked. Boucher
hit to Morris, who threw wildly to first.
Gygli recovered the ball and made bad
peg to get Cocash at third, the latter
scoring when the sphere escaped Larsen.
In the eighth, Flood hit to center.
Wordsworth came in fast, trying to make
the catch, and the ball went by to the
fence, Flood making the circuit.
The fourth was the only inning in which
the Barons were able to bunch hits on
Southpaw Folbre. Gygli singled and
Kane doubled. Morris hit to Boucher,
who threw Gygli out at home. ELAN
singled to right, scoring Kane, but was
out trying to make a second on the hit.
Larsen walked and Fleharty beat a slow
hit toward third, scoring Morris. Moles-
worth was passed, filling the bases but
Henline fouled out.
McGilvray doubled to start the fifth, but
the next three batters were easy and the
visitors were never dangerous again.

TENNESSEE is SILENT.
Pollard Hears Nothing of That Cham
pionship Series.

Tennessee as yet has made no answer to
challenges forwarded by DR.. j. w. FL.
Pollard Of Alabama.
Over the long-distance wires last night
DR.. Pollard stated that he had wired the
manager of the Tennessee team in Knox
vile and also the manager in Macon,
where the Tennesseans have just COM
pleted a series, hoping to find him IN one
or the other place.
Pollard is very anxious to play the
games Thursday, Friday and Saturday
of next week in Birmingham Immediately
after the Barons have completed their
series against Memphis and gone to MO
bile.
1t is believed that Tennessee will offer
to meet Alabama in Knoxville, though
this is not certain.
Birmingham, it would seem, however,
would he the ideal place, for thousands
would witness the sport here to hundreds
in Knoxville. Birmingham college men
are very anxious that the series be ar
ranged. for it would certainly prove
drawing card.
