TURTLES HOPE To
KEEP SPORT GOING
Minority in Westminster ASSoCia-
tion Gives Track DevoteeS
Chance to See Light

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-General de-
preston among racing men over the
cancellation of the fall meetings in the
metropolitan district has given way to
feeling Of more or less optimism
concerning the future of the sport in
this state. Nobody, of course, not
even those most closely concerned In
the conduct and government of the
sport, can speak of the plans for next
year. All depends on what construc-
tiOn the courts place on the law
against bookmaking with or without
writing" and on the directors llabil-
ity measure, which makes owners of
the various racing associations Grim
inally responsible for any gambling on
their premises. This will come, it is
thought, in the action to be instituted
by the minority stockholders of the
Westchester Racing association against
the directors for the failure to con-
duct a regular fall meeting. This ac-
tion will be general enough to settle
all questions at issue, and in all prob
ability it will be carried to the highest
courts so that the rights of those who
conduct race meetings may be settled
for all time.
When the Agnew- Hart law against
organized bookmaking was passed in
1908, many arrests were made, but not
more than one or two cases ever came
to trial, and no general test which in
volved all questions ever went through
the courts. Repetition of this proceed
ure was feared under the new laws
which go into effect on September 1,
so that counsel for the Jockey club and
the various racing associations advised
against opening way to what many
horsemen consider persecution, with
chance of not getting a fair test case
through the courts.
In advertising the closing Of Some
Of it's early stakes for next year the
Saratoga Racing association contrib
uted to the feeling that is growing that
racing is far from dead, while a sure
indication was had in the reasonably
strong demand for we'll bred yearlings.
r. T. Wilson, jr., has invested heav-
lily, among others, and John 70. Mad
den, who paid $4,000 for half brother
to Blue Girl, showed his confidence in
the future of the sport by saying:
"I do not know anything more than
anybody else, but I purpose to con-
tinue breeding on the same large scale
as in the past, as L have confidence
that this country will follow the lead
of England, Germany, France, Canada
and other countries by realizing in due
time the Importance of the thorough
bred strain for something more than
racing purposes"

CORNELL ALUMNI FIELD
TO BE OPENED SOON
Work Under Way for Football
Grounds at ithaca Campus

ITHACA, N. Y, Sept. 4.-Alumni
field will be used by the Cornell foot
ball men for the first time this fall.
That is practically certain now that
men have been put at work grading
and seeding the practice field, just
east of the present Fairgrounds and
west of the site selected for the
varsity field. The varsity field will be
laid on the extreme east end of the
fifty-nine-acre tract awarded by the
trustees for Alumni field. This site
will be in the highest part of the field,
overlooking the lake and valley, and
giving splendid view.
Under the original grant the land
extended over toward the buildings of
the state college of agriculture and
encroached on the direct path toward
the university farm. By an agreement
with the trustees the field committee
gave back to the college a triangular
strip of university land on the south
east end. thereby providing the col
lege of agriculture with a highway to
it's farm and making the field more
nearly rectangular in shape.
This plot for the varsity field is to
contain at the present time but fif-
teen acres. 1t was the opinion of the
committee and coaches piece of this
size would be large enough. If in the
future 1t should become necessary 10
take over more land, it can readily
be done by using part of the tract on
the west which now has been planned
for a practice field.
This field is to be twenty or so acres
in extent and the balance of the tract
will be used for Fairgrounds. Already
nine acres Of the extreme east is used
for that purpose, and this will be
extended.
On the extreme east side of the field
will be the stands, to accommodate
from 10000 to $4,000 persons. The spec
tator will look directly west on the
football field, which will be to the east
of the tract The baseball diamond
and stands will be in the southeast
part of the field. There will be a
quarter-mile running track and a
training house. Later more equip-
ment will be put in place. Inside OF
the big stand, or stadium, will be
an indoor running track to be used by
Monkeys men in the winter. The
cost of the buildings equipment and
construction work on the varsity field
will be 100000, the amount pledged by
the alumni

Clever Local Boy Returns from
Successful Season in
Valley League
,.Gus Mast is back from Tulare."

"Gus Mast is back from Tulare."
This is a common salutation among.
the ball beavers who convene regularly
these days to swap the latest news in
the realm of baseball. And Hans
Wagner" Gus can generally be seen at
the baseball rendezvous most any
time, when not engaged in singing the
sphere on some local sand lot, telling
old cronies how he did 'em up in the
valley last summer.
Boys" said Gus yesterday, Il don't
claim to be a second Frank Chance or
a shade of old Pop" Anson, but un-
der my captaincy the Tulare team,
with a lower salary limit than any
other club in the San Joaquin valley
league. finished second, and then only
two games behind the leader Bakers
field"
When Gus had relieved himself of
this mouthful, which is an unusually
lengthy discourse for the husky snort
stop, some admirer from Redondo
commenced to sputter.
Gus Redondoans are ticlled to hear
that you intend to wallop the pill on
our club the coming winter season.
Maybe" retorted the clever fielder.
"It has not been definitely settled, but
1t looks very much as if the beachers
will have my services; but that wal
Looping pill reminds me Of how my
long healthys' broke the long distance
clouting records up the valley
This summer I annexed three long
clout records You have often heard
the expression, he hit it mile Well,
l connected with one on the nose at
Visalia, and that ball came very near
soaring a mile. Anyway, it was the
longest hit ever made on the Visalia
grounds Tulare and Coalnga are the
other places where I broke the long
swat record"
These bits Of fact set the Redondoan
to cutting a few capers of irish
while saving: What we will do to
the Teddy Bears and the Anderson
Lores next time we mingle with them
will be shame"
"By the way" drawled Gus, without
batting a lid, "you might just as well
tell Judge Wells to get busy and move
the old Pacific pond back if we have TO
hit in that direction"
Mast will try out with San Francisco
the coming spring.

PROFESSIONAL RUNNING

NEW YORK, Sept. 4Professional
running is receiving great boom in
England and many of the best Amer
lean runners have been appearing there
during the last few months. The Eng
lish never before have shown such en-
thusiasm, and they are putting up the
largest purses for sprint races ever
given in the history of the game.
The last big race was run before a
crowd of eight thousand people and
for a purse of $1,000. Holiday, the
Yankee pro" ran against Danielson
of England and was defeated twice by
the Briton. The race was 1870 yards,
Danielson's time being 1917 seconds.
Both men had previously defeated
Postle, the Australian flyer, and it was
expected they would make better time
than they did.

LITTLE THINKS FERGUSON
HAS CHANCE FOR TITLE

BOSTON, Sept. 4.-George Little,
the former manager of Jack johnson.
has now taken Sandy Ferguson, the
big heavyweight of Boston, under his
management with the hope of event
ually forcing Johnson to meet him for
the heavyweight title. Little seems to
think that Ferguson, with proper ham
ding, is the most likely heavyweight
to beat Johnson, and with that idea
in mind, he intends to get him into the
best possible condition, and after he
wins a few fights with him intends to
challenge Johnson. Ferguson has al
ready fought Johnson four times, los
ing to the colored fighter in a ten
round bout, a twenty-round go, again
on a foul in seven rounds, and boxing
him a six-round go in Philadelphia.
