EDDIE OUGAN WILL
RIDE FOR BELMONT I
Millionaire Sportsman Pays
Him Retaining Fee of
$4,000 a Year
(By Leased Wire)

New York, Mar 3.-August Belmont
Is optimistic as to the future of rae
ing. AS an indication of his high
faith In the sport he signed Eddie Du
gan as his premier jockey for the sea
son And as another indication OF
his estimation that the sport will be
well supported this year he agreed to
pay Dugan retaining fee of $4,000
for his work in the saddle.
In other days which were more fa-
yorable for racing Dugan was under
contract to ride for Belmont. His
salary then was no higher than it is
at the present time. This speaks for
the faith and confidence Belmont has
in Dugan as Jockey Last summer
complaints were lodged against Du-
gan by various trainers that he had
interfered with the chances Of oppos-
ing horses and thus prevented the
races being truly run
James Rowe, the trainer for James
X. Keene, was Dugan's most bitter
opponent. He lodged protest after
protest against the rider. Foxhall
Keen even asked the stewards of the
Jockey club to have Dugan's license
revoked. But after a short suspen-
sion Dugan was reinstated. And now

SOUTHERN LEAGUE ADOPTS
Player and Salary Limit Also
Definitely Settled Despite Op-
position on Part ofCharley Grant
(By Leased Wire)

New Orleans La, Mar. 3-The
Southern Baseball league held its an
nual spring meeting today and adopt-
ed the schedule prepared by the
committee, with two or three minor
changes, but there was a lively time
over the salary and player limit quss-
tion, 1t finally resulting in the defeat
OF Charley Frank in his opposition
70 bringing up the amendment adopt-
ed at the Birmingham meeting.
The opening games will be on April
70, as follows: Mobile at New Or
leans, Montgomery at Birmingham,
Chattanooga at Atlanta, Nashville at
Menlphis.
President Baugh Of the Birming
ham club brough up the limit ques-
,ion, saying the constitution fixed
the players at eighteen during the
first thirty days and fourteen there.
after but at Birmingham an amend
ment had been adopted by vote OF
5 to changing this to twenty duI-
ing the first thirty days and sixteen
thereafter He wanted a ruling /. an
the chair as to whether this was q
regular or special meeting, as he
wished to put a motion SO as to make
this amendment entirely legal. Char
ley Frank objected to the question
being brought up, and argued that
il was a special meeting. President
Helsman Of Atlanta Joined with
Baugh, and then President Kava-
naugh ruled that it was a regular
meeting
Player Limit Carries
The motion fixing the player limiCs
at 20 aud IS was then put and carried
IN legal form Chattanooga and New
Orleans being the only clubs to vote
against It. Then the salary limit was
taken up, and President Baugh again
carried his point He contended that
only half OF the playing managers
salary should be counted in the linz
IL. and quoted the rules The matter
vas finally settled that way.
Andrews OF Chattanooga and Frank
led losing fight contendipg that II
part Of the amendment was wrong
the whole thing should be reseinded,
but President Kavanaugh ruled
aoainet fha,n q'lfe ealarv limit ls
now axed at $4,000 with only half OF

In The only two clubs who will not

EASY MONEY.

1t is reported that stranger has
been working graft game the past
few days in the outlying districts of
the city. He has visited saloons and
stores and asked the proprietors
whether or not they have any nickels
in their possession of the coinage of
the year 1910. They get busy and
make search and find few. When
the nickels of that year have been
produced the stranger told them that
no nickels were coined by the govern
ment in 19i0, that the ones in their
possession are counterfeit, and that
he is an officer of the government on
the track of the counterfeiters, and
WIS authorized to confscate all spur
ious money. In nearly every instance
bis game worked like a charm. In
one saloon on lower Grand Ave. he
collected twenty-three nickels. In a
store in the same locality he got
nineteen more, and he made fair
days wages in nearly every place he
went into.
The man was seen to get ON St.
Paul train one night the latter part
of the week and depart for the north.
He didn't go to Merrill, because they
have no nickels of any kind up there.
He may come back later and sell
some people few lots in lake Wau-
Sau.

SPECIAL ELECTION.

There will be a special election in
Marathon City on Tuesday, June 6.
The residents of the village are of the
belief that they have advanced to
that stage where they can put on a
few city airs. The idea of establish
ing standpipe and water works sys-
tenn has been advanced, and there be-
ing difference of opinion as to how
the finances are to be raised, q vote
will be taken on the matter.
1t is purposed to issue bonds in the
sum of $500 to meet the expenses.
The village has. some money on hand,
but not enough to cover the expense.
The bond question will be voted on
on the date above mentioned. Aside
from Wausau and Mosinee Marathon
City is the oldest settlement of any
note in the county. 1t was originally
populated by people brought there
from Pennsylvania by a promotion
company, which sold them the land.
The village was slow of growth until
the railroad was built through it.
Since then it has assumed more met
ropolitan airs.
We believe that the village is TAX
ing the right course in establishing a
water system. 1t will be municipal
plant, owned by the people at large,
as ours is. There is little doubt but
that every property owner in the
village will be consumer.

ADDITIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
NOTES.

The school exhibit held last Thurs
day and Friday at the high school
gave the public an opportunity to see
the work of very high quality which
lad been done in the schools this past
year.
The manual training exhibit in the
gymnasium was perhaps the most in
teresting and the furniture and other
work showed fine workmanship.
The domestic science and the art
exhibits were also worthy of praise,
and the pupils and teachers whose
work was exhibited have reason to be
proud of the fine showing.

AN OLD TIMER.

The street railroad company's crew,
in digging trench for a track on
Third street yesterday, brought to
light reminder of early days. 1t
was part of an old pine stump the
stump of tree which stood in the
middle of the street, opposite the
Bells House. This tree is remem-
bered by the very early residents and,
it is said, was a "whopper." Seven
sawIogs, scaling nearly 5000 feet,
we're cut out Of it. The bulk Of the
village then was located near the
river and this pine tree standing on
higher ground was conspicuous OBJ
ject. Ii lowered abaye all other trees
in this territory. One night a Jim
mycane swept over this territory and
caused considerable damage to stand
ing timber and the big pine went
down. One Of the local mill owners,
though he had no claim on the tree,
sent men up and had iI cut into saw
logs and hauled down to the slough.
Later, when Third street was laid
out. the stump was cut down. Again
when the street was paved, the stump
was shaved down, ard yesterday most
OF it was removed and c2rted away.
Nearly fifty years have passed since
that eventual night when the wind
delivered the solar picks punch 10
the tree, and yet its roots are in
good state Of preservation.
