{. R. BRADLEY TO
RACE IN ENGLAND
Turfman Is Looking Over the
Situation With a View of
Shipping Stable Abroad.

NEW YORK, August 2S.-Another turf
man is contemplating a campaign
abroad as a result OF the many drastic
laws against the sport In this country.
The latest is K. r. Bradley, who for
many seasons has been closely identified
with racing both east and west. Mr..
Bradley at present ts visiting Richard
Croker at Glencairn. Ireland, and he has
racing thoroughly. with view of enter
ing the sport before he returns.
incidentally, while 1t was not admitted
by Mr.. Bradley in a recently received
letter, 1t is believed by many that he is
not going over the ground for himself
alone. Several other turfmen, who have
thus far remained loyal to what little
racing has been left at home. are also
contemplating a change, and 1t has been
said that Mr. Bradley will report condi-
tions to them.
Mr.. Bradley for many seasons raced
a considerable string of first-class horses
and one of the old campaigners that paid
for himself many times over in purses
that he won was Bad News. When
James Butler, a few seasons back, decid-
ed to 20 in for Thoroughbred racing It
lings for him at the Fasig-Tipton sales.
The Butler purchases were made just
about the time that racing was feeling
the first effects OF the persecution that
1t has suffered ever since, and there
never was an adequate chance for
these youngsters to make good. Mr..
Butler and MIR. Bradley still have many
OF the horses bought at that time, and
1t would not be surprising IL the But
ler silks, as we'll as those Of Bradley,
are seen over the English courses.
Several other American horsemen,
through agents. are looking into the
racing situation in both England and
France, and it Is inevitable that unless
relief is offered at home the season of
1912 will see more Americans trying
for the foreign purses than ever before.
The coming sale of the Hildreth
stable is OF added Importance in this
connection. The horses that will be
offered are Of a class that would make
1t q wonderfully good string to race
abroad, and it is known that some OF
the bidders September will have in
view a foreign campaign. With the
loss OF SO many good horses already
and the depletion of the big breeding
establishments Of Kentucky. the Amer
lean thoroughbred will be extinct with
In few years unless there is a return
to the sport that brought the horse to
such q high standard.

JAMES B. KEENE IN HOSPITAL.
Unable to Rally From Shock Caused
by Hotel Fire.

LONDON. August 2e-rhe health OF

their advice. Mr.. Keene entered a nursing
home, which is equivalent to an Ameri-

Mr.. Keene's health, since the Carlton

Intersection Game
to Be Played Today
and Team Standing
Cornell vs.. Southland at District
League Park.

Just as was predicted at the beginning
OF the post-season series, the amateur
championship of the city lies between the
Cornell Company and the Bankers. 1t is
not probable that the Southland nine Will
cut much of a figure in the race.
The game Saturday between the Ameri-
can Security and Southland clubs show
ed the Olympia leaguers to have little
chance in the series. 1t Is much weak
or club than either Cornell team or the
Bankers, for the reason that the Bankers
and Cornell will be able TO hit either of
the two twirlers offered by Southland.
and the Southland club cannot hit ef-
fectively the pitchers who will work for
the other teams.
The main interest in the games this
week will center in those between the
Bankers and the Cornell club. and II the
Cornell team wins tomorrow's contest it
will very likely have the premiership of
the city to its credit. as II is not probable
that the American Security and Trust
team would be able to capture two games
In succession from the Capital City
leaguers.
That Boteler is one of the best high
school pitchers ever turned out OF the
local institutions is almost an accepted
fact. II is doubtful IL there have been
more than two who were his equal.
'Doly'' Gray while he was at Tech and
"Dutch" SterZer. a product of the same
school. were both probably as good as
Boteler, but with those exceptions the
ex-Central lad just about stands in a
class by himself.
Ii Boteler could pitch as well accord
insly in good weather as he did in the
rain against the Southland club Satur-
day he would be the best amateur twirl-
er In the District IL certainly was re-
markable to see the amount of stuff that
Boteler got on the ball at time when
1t seemed that a pitcher would be lucky
to have the ball break at all when he
attempted to throw a curve.
