GRAND CIRCUIT MEET.
Application to Be Made for Dates
at Brighton Beach.

I NEW YORK, January S.-A move
! from a new quarter is to be made to
secure grand circuit dates for the Brigh-
ton Beach track this summer. When the
stewards of the grand circuit go into
session at Detroit Tuesday to allot the
dates a formal application will be made
on behalf of the course by the sea-
which has not figured in light harness
racing since 1902 and 1909. when the
trotting and pacing stars were speeded
there in purses and stakes. The arrange
ments for a grand circuit meeting will
not interfere with the thoroughbred rae
| ing plans for this season at Brighton
Beach.
Poughkeepsie, which passed its meeting
last year, is expected to apply for dates
this year, and 1t is thought that Brgh-
ton Reach will follow, so as to precede
the ReadviIe. Mass. meeting. a. J..
|Welch, who now has control at Read
vile, is already at Detroit, and he will
also act on behalf of the proposed Brigh-
ton Beach meeting. A. ii. Cosden, for
mer president of the New York Road
Drivers Association, is deeply interested
in the seaside meeting. He had stable
in training last season by the eighteen
year-old Jimmy Benyon, son of the Well
known trainer, Ed. Benyon, who has
charge Of the stable Of Dromore farm,
at st. Clair, Mich The only one of the
Cosden string to be raced was the three
year-od trotting colt, Vito, 2I2A, who
won the three-year-old stake at the
Cleveland grand circuit meeting and
| figured in the futurities later in the sea-
son. Cosden also owns the green PAGER
/ Druien. by Onward Silver, 2.OJh. that
his shown a trial for young Benyon in
LOLA.
| Some eight or ten of us have been
planning for a grand circuit meeting at
Brighton Beach," said Mr.. Cosden.
There is no chance whatever of light
harness racing at the Empire City track,
but think Poughkeepsie will get dates.
and we would like to follow at Brighton
ern circuit and draw all the great horses
| to the meetings hereabouts. Mr. WEIGH
will present out claims before the grand
dates will open rich fine of purses
1.-THE others in the venture at this
time, except that they are all prominent
/ in business and professional life and that
! they love light harness horse racing as

Iers. among them l.. V. Hardness, w. i.

Should all the applicants receive dates
from the stewards the grand circuit
would be made up of Kalamazoo, Grand

Hartford, Syracuse and Columbus, to be
followed by the annual free-for-all fort

declares that it is entirely unnecessary.
The American League schedule COM
nittee, composed of B. b. Johnson. Frank

formal protest against the plan when the
joint committee meets the latter part of
this month. The players are also an
tarogistic to the 16S-game plan, in
dictated by the following comments by
Shortstop Tinker of the Cubs:
The players will be required to work
in more than 200 games. We take a
training trip in the spring. playing thirty
or more games. jumping from one town
to another with little or no rest. Then
comes a sudden shift from southern
climate to the north to begin the cham
pionship race the middle of April. which
alone is severe hardship because OF the
unreasonable weather. There is no rea-
son why the players should not ne allow
ed TO play few exhibition games after
the pennant race in order to enjoy needed
recreation and TO pick up little extra
money. The championship season ought
TO begin on May | and wind up on or
a bout September 10. :

PROMOTERS STUNG BY
THE ATHLETIC SHOW

CHICAGO, ILL.,, January S.-While
James j. Jeffrfes, the high card of the
all-star athletic show which is touring
the country. is reaping a golden harvest
from his performances, there are others
who are on the losing end Of the propo-
sition. Jeffres has been clearing from
$1,000 to 5000 weekly since he began
scouting around the country. and one
week he took down 81, 100. which was the
biggest gain.
From a source which must be taken as
authoritative it was learned that in few
of the cities in which Jeffries has shown
have the local promoters made money,
owing to their high bids to secure the at
traction. In fact, several of them have
lost money. This was particularly true
i'll New Orleans, where the men who pro-
NOTED the performance gave up several
hundred dollars for the honor of so
doing
In st. Louis there was about an even
break for the promoters. This. it was
claimed. was due to the fact that the
police officials refused to allow Jeffries to
| spar.
| In Milwaukee the same story fits the
case, and coin of the realm was lost. The
iseum here barely escaped being los
ing venture for the promoters. Close to
$1,000 was drawn in at the gate, but
when everybody had been paid off House
man and Callahan hardly received
enough to make ii worth while
!! 1t seems that in the biggest cities,
where the promoters. looking for big
crowds, went to heavy expense to adj
vertise, the worst showings were made
Particularly was this true of New York.
After paying out all that was coming to
the show people, $1,000 for Madison
Square Garden and other expenses. the
crowd was small that the promoters
lost heavily.
| The JeffrieS show appeared in Des
Moines Monday night and in Kansas
City. From there the route leads
westward and finally takes in Portland.
Spokane. Seattle. Vancouver and San
Francisco 1t is possible Los Angeles
may not be played. The tour is sched
uled to end January 81. Jeffries' har-
vest will net him between $4,000 and
$4,000.
