Laurel And Pimlico
Officials Reconciled

BALTIMORE, Sept. 6.-Maryland will
be the scene of some good racing dur
ing October, and II looks very much
as II there will be friendly relations be-
tween the Pimlico track and the new
institution built by H. D. Brown at
Laurel. While the program has not
been definitely settled by the Jockey
Club, It is presumed that only a few
details are to be arranged and a slight
concession made on both sides.
As Brown can race during October
only, the Laurel track will conflict with
Pimlico for at least some part of the
time allotted by the Jockey Club, but
dates are being fixed up so that the
conflict will be as little as possible.
That friendly relations will exist is
positive, and these will be brought
about by the Jockey Club to suit both
parties.
Ten stakes have been advertised for
Laurel, amounting to $16,500, and there
will be no purse offered of less value
than $500. Considering the racing stu
alton at the present time, and the fact
that the Laurel track is a new institu-
ton, Browns program can be consid-
cred generous. and means a distribu-
ton of over 100000 among horsemen.
This will be very welcome to owners
who have had to run for much smaller
purses during the bulk of the season.
That the sanction Of the Jockey Club
has been granted, or will be granted, is
CLEANED from the fact that in the
preface to the stake book 1t Is stated
that Jockey Club rules will govern the
meeting. This will be good news to
horsemen, who would be at sea IL
Laurel were run as an unrecognized
meeting.
On the opening day, which win be
October 2. the Maryland State Fair In
augural Stake, with $500 added. will
be the feature. This will be for three
year-olds and upward, and should call
out all the best horses in training, as
all the prominent stables will be there.
The Jockey Club Is trying to settle the
dates to make them agreeable to both
parties, and II this can be done 1t Is
more than likely that the norfolk meet
stead Of beginning on October Is. as at
present scheduled.

LOCAL ENTHUSIASTS
SEEKING NEW PARK
FORAMATEURSTARS
District League To Lose
Grounds, But May Obtain
New Location.

Owing to the fact that the District
League will probably be without a home
next year, as a street is to be cut
through its psrk, the need Of a new
inclosed park is imperative. and Mr.. II.
s. Reside, of the American Security
and Trust Company, and several other
amateur baseball enthusiasts, have been
looking up the park between N and o,
First and Second streets northeast, with
view of developing that square for
this purpose, but nothing definite has rs
yet been decided. and the matter is still
much In the air.
After looking over the plot Of ground
between First and Second, n and o
streets northeast, II struck me as a fine
place for an inclosed athletic field, but
SO FAR nothing definite has been done
about erecting stands for q park" said
Mr. Reside today.
Il have had the matter under consid-
Grafton for some time, but nothing def
mite has been done, and whether the
property is turned into a park depends
entirely upon the amateur situation, as
1t develops during the early fall and
winter. At the present time, / have
enough 10 attend to with the intercity
championship on my hands, and nothing
will be done about the park until that
series Is over, at least"
The lot under consideration Is about
$50 feet on n and o streets, BY $50 feet
on First and Second streets, and seems
to be an ideal one from the standpoint
of available ground. At present the
park is Enclosed, there being q bill
board fence entirely surrounding It.
There is need for but little grading, and
should It be laid out properly, there
would be ample room for both base
ball and football.
According to reports. the District
will put a street through
between L and M, which will cut up the
District park to such an extent that
the league must find other playing
grounds.
This makes a new park imperative
from the standpoint Of amateur base
ball, and at the same time, should 1t
be possible to lay out a grIdiron, there
will be space for high school football,
as well as baseball. i

Saratoga ssemblyman Feels
Sure Enough Votes Can
Be Gathered.

SARATOGA, n. Y, Sept S.-"The
Gittins bill will pass the Assembly at
the reconvened session of the legisia-
of Saratoga, who has charge of the rae
ing measures in the lower house, to-
day. when the question comes up
again we will be able to muster more
than enough votes to pass the BILL
President r. T. Wilson, of the Sara
tdga Association, when seen last night,
also declared that the prospects for the
passage Of the bill were bright, despite
the reports that the race track meas
ures were buried. Mr.. Wilson said that
the Farmers and Merchants Mutual
Assistance League had been conducting
a vigorous campaign in favor OF the
Gittins bill and that this activity on
the part of the organization throughout
the State has proved a great aid to
those behind the race track measures.
The news that the bill has better
than an even chance of passing the
assembly has caused Saratogians TO
cheer up. The season has been the poor
est here in years, but when 1t was whis-
pered that racing would come back
there were smiling faces on Broadway
for one of the few times this summer,
saratogians do not believe there Is a
chance Of Governor Dix vetoing the bill
in the event of its passage. -f
Some think a meeting will be held at
the Spa track this fall. but a man pow
erful in turf affairs who Is summering
here says that this is impossible.

any definite action will be taken in
Albany until late this month. II the

II would be too late to get the track
here in condition for a late fall meeting.
In the event of the pending legislation
being successful the first meeting OF

Inspired BY His Good
Showing Against B)ston
Tar Baby"
WOULD BE EASY
FOR JACK JOHNSON"
Joe Thinks Sans Fighting Last
Night Was Lacking
In Quality.

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-After his ex-
cellent showing against Sam Langford
before the Madison Square Athletic
Club, Joe jeanette today expressed
himself as willing to take on the Bos-
ton Tar Baby" over a longer route,
feeling satisfied that he can defeat him.
Joe Woodman, Langford's manager,
says that his man can win from Jean
cite whenever he wishes, and nothing
would suit him better. They may be
matched here again III two weeks.
In my other bouts with L3nSf ord. I"
says Jeanette, Il didn't fight him in
the right way. In Boston ! tried to
rough 1t with him, and got the worst
Of it. Last night / boxed him and had
little trouble in holding my own. If
Iangford can't box any better than he
DID against me. he would be easy for
Jack Johnson"
Six thousand fight fans cheered them
selves hoarse over the terrific battle be-
tween the black hopes"
In a Desperate Fight.
Both fought desperately, exchanging
hard blows with all the strength at
their command. Though many thought
Langford had gained a shade over jean
cite, the general opinion seemed to be
that 1t was an even battle.
Langford's short-arm punches were
awful to Withstand, and whenever he
landed one of them he carried his OPP
ponent back. To obviate this, Jean
cite kept constantly in motion. weav-
ing in and out, poklng in left jabs IN
I'll he had Langford's face badly puffed
When the bout ended the Tar Baby's
left eye was completely closed.
Now and then the two men stood
head to head and snapped wallops.
In these fierce clashes Langford was
easily the master, and he always
forced jeanette to back away and
start long distance boxing again.
The Boston man came close to hand
lnS the sleep punch on his antagonist
in the fourth round. Getting his man
into corner he suddenly swung his
right to the jaw. jeanette .crumpled
up and fell, taking a count Of nine. 1t
looked like the end, but he finally
arose, fell into a clinch. and stalled
TO the end of the round. He surprised
all by coming back in the fifth strong
as bull and ready for more.
Dropped By Stomach Jolt.
In the final session again Langford
dropped Jeanette with a short jolt to
the stomach. However, he leaped to
his feet in an instant and continued
the battle evidently unhurt
Except in the fourth and tenth
rounds, when Langford had the better
Of the going. Jeanette made an even
fight of 1t. His outside boxing wor-
ably. Now and then he would Jab
Langford on the nose, get in a stiff
punch to the wind and be out and
away before Langford could swing on
him.
The seventh was clearly Jeanette's.
Feinting his man into missing several
vicious left swings, Jeanette put q
hard right to the jaw. 1t feazed
Langford, but he kept IN coming in.

Jeanette landed right swing on the
