STALLION
THE BONDSMAN
Sire of Noted Harness Horses
Brings Unexpectedly Small
Price at Old Glory.

NEW YORK, November 25-The. Old
Glory. horse sale, whi,h is being held all
this week at Madison Square Garden,
reached it's top mark yesterday. when
practically all the noted horses on the
auction list went under the hammer. The
crowds at both sessions We're easily the
best of the week, and the bidding was
far more spirited than before. The high
price of the sale was reached during the
afternoon, when The Bondsman, the cele-
brated sire Of Colorado T.. The Plunger,
Grace Bond and other noted steppers,
was sold at $l1 900 to Dick Wilson, act
ing for Capt. r. p. Mccain of Port
land, Ore. 1t had been generally pre-
dicted that this noted son of Baron
Wilkes would bring at least $4,000, and
figures as high as $4,000 had been named
by close followers of the game. The
bidding showed only four men who cared
to name a price, and three of the quartet
dropped out after $1,000 was reached:
AS there are no big stars to be sold dur
ing the two remaining days of the sale,
it is a certainty that the price paid for
The Bondsman will be the record for this
years sale. Other high prices yesterday
were S6.5G0 for Silent Brigade, $J,I25
for Belvasia and $1,000 for Eva Tan
quay.
The receipts of the day We're far in adj
vance of those of any previous day, and
totaled more than two-thirds of the en-
tire receipts for the three previous days
of the sale. a total of 127 head was dis
posed of during the two sessions yes
terday and the receipts aggregated $99,-
$50, an average price of $7S6 per head
The total receipts for the three days of
the sale are s243,Ol5 for SD head, an
average price for the four days 0f S4ti6
This figure is likely to be. considerably
reduced during the two remaining days
of the sale.

WANTS
BIG BILL BURNS
Cardinals Leader Offers to

CINCINNATI, Ohio, November Do
Roger Bresnahan came into camp today
with an offer to swap Pitcher Johnny

afternoon to President Hermann at head.
quarters, but as yet nothing definite
is known of the. outcome. Manager Bres-
nahan said that if both these players can
be traded he sees chance for strength
eninS the teams. He says that Lush
has not worked as well in ST. Louis
as he believes him capable of working
and that he believes the same can be
said of Burns. Therefore he would swap
them and try them out anew in other
pastures with another flock.
The trade. if it goes through, will not
cause much comment on either side of
the fence. Pitcher Johnny Lush has
worked a sort of a bad season for the
Cardinals, and has shown the fans there
that he either could, not or would not
work before them. And the very same
thing can be said of Burns in Cincinnati
He was secured near the middle of the
season from the White Sox, where he
had been kept on the bench for almost
a season and a half He pitched splendid
ball for five games, one of these being
in Chicago, where. he held the Cubs to
one measly little hit in nine innings.
He also held the Giants to two hits, Phil
adelphia to one and Pittsburg to two hits
Then he came heme to pitch, but was
knocked out of the box the very first
time out, and since that has been worth
almost nothing.
Both men have been offered to any club
wishing to pay the waiver price. but as
yet nothing has been heard about them
Bresnahan says that he has other deals
in mind, but will say nothing about them
until closed. He attended the opening
of Miller. Higgins new rink, and says
that Higgins is one of the shrewdest
ball players he's ever Seen, and is always
making money.

catch a high ball and finds it coming
low on the inside. The catcher is caught
OF balance. If he stops the ball he will
not be in position to throw, and he is
more liable to lose it than catch it.

thrown far out the batter will 'acci-

Hard to Pitch Ont. L'
The best pitchers in the game are
unanimous in saying that 1t is difficult
task to pitch out a ball on a batter. The
best catchers say that a pitch-out to be
perfect must be chin high far outside. SO
that the batter will not have a chance
to hurl his stick at the BALI and also. to
put the catcher in position to make a
good throw.
Pitchers try to throw wide when a
pitch-ou is called for, but they cannot
regulate themselves to getting the ball
chin high and far on the outside They
admit that with a little practice this
could be accomplished, but here is one

Having Manager McAleer send the
contracts to his players should put him
in much closer touch with the men

It has been the custom of the Washing

have the president Of the club sign the
players. There were conferences. of
course, regarding the value OF the vari-
Gus players. but the manager did not
have any communication with them
regarding their contracts, that being left
entirely in the hands Of the president OF
the club.
Under the new system McAleer will be
in communication with his players long
before they report. Any dissatisfaction
with the salary offered will come to him
direct and will be for him to adjust. in
stead Of the president of the club. In
this way McAleer will know just how
every player feels when he reports to him,
and this system of signing the players
should be much more satisfactory for all
concerned.
It will probably be found that the plan
of working the players but once day

SPORTING COMMENT.
BY J. ED aR111o.

For the first time in several years
GEORGETOWN has enjoyed successful foot
ball season. The team which represented
the Blue and Gray on the gridiron this
season was by far the strongest the hill
top institution has shown in some time.
While undoubtedly Coach Nielsen Is en-
titled to much of the credit for the bril-
liant showing of the Georgetown team,
the untiring efforts Of Capt. Daley are
deserving of much praises
GEORGETOWN seems to have team at
last which will do credit to the school.
What it has accomplished this year is
but forerupner of what it should do
in the next few years. The nucleus Of
this years team will be on hand again
next fall, with the chances in favor Of
as good material being added as will
leave the team at the close Of the present
college year. :.
The success of the foot ball team will
have a healthy effectt, on all athletics
at Georgetown. which. to say the least,
have not been at a high standard for
some years. There is no denying that
success in foot ball always has u slim
ulating effect on the Others branches Of
sport in a college. and theret are reasons
for believing that Georgetown will grad

twirlers will practice pitching out in
spring training camp next year, accord
ing to present plans of the Detroit bah
club.
Work along this line will benefit the
Tiger catchers next season. It will also
help win games.
In the art .of twirling today there is
nothing more lacking development than
pitching out. In the American League it
is done much more than in the National
League, still there are few American
League hurlers who have the art Of
pitching out down to fine points.
Often Fails.
With runner on first or second and
the catcher anticipating steal or hit
and-run play, he. calls for a pitch-out, a
ball thrown wide Of the plate. Here may
be the result:
A low ball inside.
A low ball far outside.
A high ball inside or outside.
Chances are nine out OF ten that the
pitcher will double-cross the catcher. The
receiver anticipates q high ball far out
side and the pitcher will throw low but
to the inside, or low and to the outside,
or waist high outside.
The; danger lies in many ways. The

tinuously with the American League
since it dropped it's name of Western
League in 1900 AT that time he played
with Detroit. 1t was in 1901 that the
American League got it's big boost. The
announcement that Jimmy Collins of Bos-
ton. Napoleon Lajoie Of Philadelphia, Joe
McGinnity of Brooklyn and Clark Crit
fifth of Chicago Had jumped from the Ma
tional League to the younger organiza-
ton caused big stir. OF these only
Lajoie remains in the league. Others who
were 1901 recruits and are still in the
ranks are Freddy Parent of Chicago. Billy
Sullivan of Chicago, Lou Criger of the
Highjlanders and Cy Young of Cleveland.
Fielder Jones can also be counted in this
list. as he is still member Of the Chi
cago club under base ball law.

once day during the training season
seems to have been a success.

1t stands to reason that the Athletics
should be the logical favorites in the
next American League pennant race. The
easy manner in which Connie Mack's.
team defeated the other seven clubs for
the flag last season and it's one-sidei
victory over the Cubs for the worlds
title makes it look like a certainty
In the next campaign.
But there are no certainties i'm base
Dali. The unexpected is continually hap
pening, and who knows but that sthe next
season will furnish another great sur
prise?
Strong as the Athletics appear il does
not require much to break the backbone
or winning team. Let one or two OF
Mack star pitchers go wrong and he
would probably find himself i'm q plight.
Let Eddie Collins meet with an injury
which would prevent him from playing
regularly and the team would not be a
cinch by any means.
! True. Mack seems to be we'll fortified
with pitchers. Krause gave evidence lust
fall of having come back. and then there
is Lefty Russell who. according to good
judges. is sure to be a star. But even
with all these Notifications something
may happen to upset all calculations.
though lit looks now as II NIark's team
would have cake walk insthe next CAM
paign. ; -
Though some rather fiatterpg offers are
being made Jack johnson, to fight either
Sam Langford or Joe Jeanette abroad.
there Is not much chance OF the cham-
pion appearing in the ring for the next
year or so. His collapse is sure to keep
him ont of the game for that length OF
time. if. i'm fact. he ever fights again.
While there have been many theories
advanced To- prove how Ii happened that
so strong'H man as johnson should suffer
a nervous breakdown, none looks as plaus-
ible as the one advanced by Lou House,
man, who holds that it was Johnson's
race with the Dare Devil Barney Oldfield
which broke him down.
Oldfield on that occasion took special
delight in making chills run down the coll
ored fighters spine, and it is said that he
was never the same after the race.
Whether it was because of the changes
which have been made in the rules or
mere coincidence remains to be proven.
but the fact is that there were fewer in-
juries on the foot ball field this year than
have occurred during several seasons.
To the average spectator the game has
changed but little and the element of
danger has been decreased but little and
yet it seems that the reforms which have
been made have had the desired effect.
though, of course. one season is hardly
enough to prove this.
Last year foot bali claimed many VIC
Tins. but what attracted public attention
to the danger of the game was the fast
that several of its victims were players
on prominent teams, the Army and Navy
for instance. This year there have been
no serious accidents to speak of. at least
not among the big college teams. and this
has had q soothing effect on those wh9
are opposed to the sport.

50 PER CENT VALUATION
TAX COMMISSION TO INSIST ON THAT BASIS OF PERSON
 AL ASSESSMENT.

Little Rock, April S.-The members of the Arkansas tax commission yes terday held an all day session in which tax matters for the coming year were gone over and the various plans discussed. It was decided to ahve the members of the commission visit each assessor in the state before the time for the making of assess ments and endeavor to have the as sessments made uniformly upon 50 per cent valuation.
 The commission would ask for a full valuation, but the rate of taxa tion is too high for that, so the next legislature will be asked to reduce the rate so the assessors can assess on full value. Only personal property IS to be assessed this year, but the com mission feels this is the most import ant of all, for it is the personal prop erty which has been missed by the assessors. Assessor William Moore of Pulaski county met with the commis- sion yesterday and offered many sug- gestions as to the best ways of get ting at personal property.

The audience wa sthor- oughly pleased from the beginning to the end of the performance.
 Miss Dunaway is native of Ar kansas and one of whom the people of the state may well be proud. She has a charming personality which cannot fail to make hit.
 Miss Mabel Yam of Fort Smith accompanied Miss Dunaway as her pianist. Miss Vann is an accomplish ed musician, and the numbers she gave were thoroughly enjoyed.
 The entertainment was given under the auspices and for the benefit of the local Elks lodge. Those who failed to see it missed a rare treat. Those who did see it are hoping that these tai ented young ladies will again visit our city.-Newport News.
