EASTERN RACING SEASON OPENS TODAY

Last season most of the best and
most famous horses of the New York
turf were sent abroad, and several of
the wealthy owners did most of their
racing in England and France. This
year the best of the horses have been
returned TO America and most of the
owners who contributed international
interest to English and French racing
in 1909 will witness their favorite sport
on the tracks of their native land in
1910.
With the choicest of the old horses
back in New York and ready to run at
early meetings. and with abundance
of new and promising material in the
younger horses to swell the fields, there
is every prospect that racing will be
of Il class to equal the best traditions
of the sport.
The feature of the opening days rae
ing was of course, the running of the
fifteenth Carter handicap, the most
valuable rare of the day. The event
attracted the best class field that the
race has ever drawn. Seventeen horses
We're named to start for the $500 prize,
and in the number were included the
Sldf performers o1 the flOF1ud winter
racing. with the gallant weight-carrier,
Jack Atkin. as the star of the field,
under the crushing top weight of 1875
pounds. The weight was the highest
that ever has been imposed on a Carter
handicap horse. but the veteran re-
mained the public favorite and general
ly was expected to repeat his triumph
of 1908.
Other notable horses in the list were:
Nealon. a Suburban winner of two
years ago; Prince Ahmed. a frequent
winner both in East and West; Prince
Imperial, the smartest of last falls 2
year-olds, together with Arondack,
Berkeley, Bosom. Glorio and Alfred
Noble.

Cincinnati team, held the Cubs down to
three hits, Schultz securing all of the
safeties charged against him. He won
his game by score of 10.
Ty Cobb and Hans Wagner got in
their good work with the stick yester-
day. Wagner raped out triple and a
single, driving in the first two runs for
the Pirates. while Cobb mad two doubles
to his credit in the game against the
Maps. Crawford was the first big
Lacquer to get four hits in one game this
season. And still the Detroit team was
beaten.

Langford Lands Knockout.
Baker Beats Beecher.
Other News.
Los ANGELES. Cal. April Is.

VI was not an uppercut this time. 1t
a was a good old-fashioned right
counter with which Sam Langford
tumbled Jim Barry in the sixteenth
round. 1t was a punch laden with
knockout force, and it left Langford
master of the situation.
Here is about the way the fight
ended: Barry for many rounds preced-
ing the sixteenth had been trying to
turn the tables with a right swing for
the jaw. He was not lashing out all
the time. He covered up and clinched
and, used his superior strength in the
roughing matches by wrestling with
Langford. He let go the right swing
at long intervals, and as a rule his
glove fell fully half foot short Of
Langford's face
Barry tried this punch for the last
time after Langford had beaten him to
the ropes and had hammered him re-
peatedly with body punches and upper
cuts. When the men parted they
moved toward the centre of the ring,
and then Barry in desperation let go
his right swing. Langford yanked his
head out of the line of fire and came
back with right counter which caught
Barry squarely on the chin Barrys
eyes were half closed as he went floor
ward and little drops of blood fell from
his lips. He made a game attempt to
get his legs under him, but he was too
far gone. He rolled over on his back
and was still in that position when
Langford was receiving congratua-
tions.
1t was very exciting fight, and in
the early stages it looked as if Lang
ford had encountered a snag. 1t
wasn't easy for Sam to find a right of
way for his uppercuts. although he
did manage to break through Barry's
guard with one in the opening round.
1t was in the second round that
Barry first caused the idea to dis
seminate that the event was to be a
"two-man fight" He shot a hard
straight left into Sans stomach.
One of the features of the fight was
the way Barry cut loose after spells
of inaction.

The essential thing, in our opinion,
Is that the decision in the CLAWS mat

or in part by Lawler, or based upon
The Lawler drafts or not, was Mr..
Taft's decision. When he set his hand

Under the head line prominent

Harrison county, Va; but argues that
he was twice married. and that his
second wife, now surviving and a
splendid woman, was born in Neck
lcnburg county, n. c., wherefore he
was a North Carolinian. That is quite
enough for the historians OF that self
appropriating Commonwealth. and we
admire the courage Of a people who
can do things like this without turning
a hair as the saying goes. 1t is
