CLEVELAND, Dec. 26.-One Of the
most important matters that the
stewards Of the grand circuit will
have to thresh out, IL is expected
will be the awarding OF dates 70 the
Michigan state fair. Last year q
splendid meeting was given by the
Michigan state fair at the Detroit
track at the same time the first
weeks racing was going on at Column
bus grand circuit meeting. Detroit
drew number Of grand circuit
horses and detracted not a little from
the Columbus meeting. This year
Columbus has decided TO apply for
TWO weeks at the end OF the grand
Giro and again one OF these weeks
will conflict with the Michigan state
fair dates. Just what the stewards
will do about this is an item OF big
interest 70 horSemen just now

style OF racing is preferred by the
majority OF horsemen, whether il be
the three-in-five. three-heat, every

Still Looking
For New Spike

The steel spike. against which there
has been a crusade ever since Ty Cobb
accidentally spiked Frank Baker OF
the Athletics. season before last. is by
no means doomed TO be relegated from
baseba
Though there were no less than
three different newly invented spikes,
the use OF which makes injury almost
impossible. presented at the recent
meetings of the major leagues i'm New
York, none OF them received the slight
est consideration from the club own
ers, and il can be authoritatively
stated that there will be no change
made in the rules against the use OF
the sharp blades which the players
have been wearing for years.
While the magnates did not publicly
announce their stand in favor Of the
present spike. regardless OF the danger
this device brings to the players. any
effort to have a less harmful spike
adopted will meet with defeat

clubs could be averted If competent

a business proposition il takes a
strong minded referee to stop a bout
