DETROIT. MICH, Feb. Ia
Handbook makers in Detroit stated
Wednesday that a man from Phiiadei-
phia. whose name they refuse to give.
was in Detroit placing several thou
sand dollars for Philadelphia bet
ting syndicate, at odds Z to 10. that
the Athletics wouid beat out the IT,
gers in the 1910 American League
race. lie is having no trouble getting
hts money down. Two specific wag-

the statement. one of 81. geo to 800.
a consistent Tiger hacker taking the
Dig end, and another OF 5000 to $40.
CAief Bender. the Athletics pitcher,
liz in town and suspicion fell upon
him. He was looked up and denied
omphaticaliy that he Was the bold
gambler. lie stated that he was in
Detroit solely TO visit relatives and
hunt rabbits In nearby woods.
The Philadelphia Is able to get his
odds. because In Detroit the Athletics
are not doped as the contender this
year. The explosion Of krause. the
aging of Plank. the long trip to the
coast. giving Macks men q ten
months season last year. are believed
to have killed the Athletics chances.

WILL EXCLUDE ALL
OTHER BALL PLAYERS
Clarke Griffith Announces that
Outside Players Shall Not
Enter Training Grounds.

CINCINNATI. Feb. 12.-Clarke
Griffith has served warning that all
outside ball players will be barred
from the joint training grounds of
the Cincinnati Reds and Boston
Americans at Hot Springs when the
teams go there this spring. About u
hundred major and minor league
tossers go to Hot Springs to boil out
every spring Heretofore they have
always done their work at Whiting
ton park, where the Pirates train.
Barney Dreyfuss has leased this park
for years, and has kept the grounds
In good playing condition Yet all
these outsiders gathered there to do
their work, and at times became so
numerous that they interfered with
the work of the Pirates.
One season practically the entire
Cleveland American team was at hot
Springs, as well as a number of bat
terry men from the Boston Americans.
These American Leaguers practiced
at Wilmington park every morning
until the Pirates arrived. and then
were told they would have to do
their work between the noon hour and
I2 O'Clock, when the Pirates would
not be using the park.
A Cleveland newspaper man who
was at the Springs with the Nap
players sent a long story to his jour
nal, In which he referred to the ugly
shirt shown by President Dreyfuss
In barring the players from his park,
The story was reprinted elsewhere,
with far from complimentary COM
ments added by scribes as 1t went
the rounds, Yet II Is fact that the
local magnate never barred any
player from Ais Hot Springs park,
but simply asked them 10 regulate
their practice so as not to interfere
with the Pirates training. If Clarke
Griffith carries out the policy he has
outlined. he will probably be panned
as Dreyfuss has been in the past
and yet he Is entirely right In what
he proposes tor do.

VALLEY RAILWAY
VIOLATES ORDER
State Corporation Commission Ex-
poets Further Trouble About
Harrisburg Depot.

More trouble with the Valley Rail-
road Company will likely be experi-s
eneed by the State Corporation Com
mission. according 10 advices from
Harrisonburg, which state that the
railway has again ignored an order.
For four years the Commission has
been having difficulties with this lire
and on several occasions the road has
been fined $500 for not complying with
rulings
The trouble ihis-tirne ARISES fTesss
failure of the railroad company to erect
at Harrisonburg a $4,000 depot. to
have been completed on August IL.
1910. Work on the depot has just be-
gun and Its completion Is long way
OFF. The road was fined $500 by the
Commission nearly four years ago in
this same case.
The matter has not been brought to
the attention OF the Commission, said
Judge William F. Rhea Tuesday TT
win no doubt be taken up by the Har-
risonburg people and then we can take
some action
Judge Rhea seemed very much sur~
prised at the action Of the Valley road,
but because the situation has not set
been brought up officially would NOT
say what would likely be done
The installation Of a new president
has been given by the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company as the reason
for the delay in starting the work n
Harrisonburg.
