REDS Do NOT WANT
LEACH TO MANAGE
Cincinnati Club Certain to
Make Change at End
of Season.

Special Dispatch Ia The Star.
CINCINNATI, July 10.-The chance for
Tom Leach to become manager of the
Reds has passed. according to August
Hermann. Much as the president of the
Reds wanted the little hustler several
years ago. he feels that now his 81 latest
usefulness is gone. Hermann had Leach
successor to Griffith, but in a dispatch
sent by him from his Elk headquarters
in. Atlantic City he says the rumors re-
garding Leach coming to Cincinnati are
not correct
There is well founded report that
Hermann and other directors Of the club
are seriously considering obtaining q
player and that prospective deals are not
for the purpose of getting a new man
ager, but to get a player or two who can
put some vim into the other athletes. OF
course, the one and real way. the direct
ors know is to get a manager who can
do it, that being a managers job: but
men like McGraw, Chance. Bresnahan
and Jennings are not to be had for the
asking.
There is a belief that Griffith will be-
permitted to manage the team on through
until the end of the season unless he
chooses TO quit earlier. If SO. the name
Of the new manager will not be revealed
until the season is almost at an end.
That is for reasons that are obvious. The
report that Griffith would quit IL he had
not made good by July l has disproved
Griffith has not pried himself loose. And
it can be safely said that he has not been
asked to quit by any OF the club d.
rectors, regardless of what some of the
directors think of his system Of manag-
ing team.

NEW YORK. July 10.-"Put up your
money! This Is the gist of telegram
just received by X. o. Browns manage.
Dan Morgan, from Tom Jones, business
representative of Ad Wolgast, lightweight
champion Morgan with a flourish of
trumpets announced from the housetops
last Friday that If Wolgast would agree
to fight Brown the latter would bet Slo,-
coo on the result and also let TIE winner
take the entire amount Of the purse.
Incidentally, Morgan said he would first
insist on a ten-round bout in this city, as
he did not believe a longer battle would
be necessary to demonstrate Browns
sterling quality. But he added that If
Wolgast held out for twenty-round bat
tie ON the coast he supposed that Brown
would have to accept or go without a
chance to win he title.
''Ten thousand dollars on the side and
winner take all!' These magic words
were sent over the wires to Wolgast b.
Morgan, and when Jones received the
dispatch he jumped five feet in the air.
Put up your money! was tho reply
which sizzled east, and when Morgan re-
ceived 1t yesterday he swallowed lump
in his throat and declared that he would
post the sum of $1,000 today with q local
stakeholder to serve as q forfeit.
IF Wolgast wants us to put up more
than thousand, all right said Morgan
Its dead easy. Besides, we are willing
to bet more than 10000 If those fellows
want it. I'm going to post this thousand

does we'H make match right Off the

he wants a months time to cable to

But that only means he will back out of
the match in the end. AS for McFar-

NEW YORK July 1O.-Another athletic
record was broken yesterday afternoon
by q member of the Irish-American A.
c. team at the Gutenberg race track,
where the annual track and field meet
of the Barrett Council Of the knights of
Columbus was held. This time it was
Jack Eler. national 22O-yard hurdle
champion, who established the new mark.
The Winged Foot star smashed the 30
yard hurdle record made fv Georg

years ago to smpthereens, covering the
distance in IS 4-5 seconds. while Schweg-
ler's record was 81 4-5 seconds. 1t was
a fine bit of running and showed the
excellent condition of the champion.

HAWTHORNE PARK TO OPEN
Encouraged by Success Of Independ-

Special Dispatch to The Star.
T CHICAGO, July 1O.-For the first time
in seven years racing meeting will be
held In this city. Beginning next Satur-
day the Hawthorne track will open its
gate for a fourteen-day session. Dur
ing this period no bookmaking or gam
bling will be allowed, but every patron Of
the track will be permitted to make per-
sonal wagers, Of the oral variety.
1t was the success Of the Independence
day racing matinee that brought this
change in the conditions hemming in the
racing interests of this state. On July 4
the Hawthorne track was opened and
bets were made and Sheriff thinner
violating the law against bookmaking.
But as none of the prisoners used states,
recording sheets gave out tickets or util-
lied other paraphernalia incidental to
"bookmaking." the men were discharged
from custody. The contention of their
lawyer that they had not violated the
law as specified under the statute was
accepted, after all evidence on the case
had been submitted
This trial matinee was really test
a test of the law pertaining to bookmak-
ing. to individual betting and to patron
age. 1t was found that individual bet
ting, under the oral system used on the
New York race tracks during 19O0-1O. was
and that the citizens of Chicago are as
favorable to racing as they were In the
halcyon days of the sport, prior to 1904,
when the gates were closed and kept
closed until the present time.

Thomas Carey. a man we'll known in
sporting and financial circles OF this
city, is the chief promoter of the racing
venture. He has obtained control Of the
Hawthorne Park track. and IL the racing
meeting should be a success, he will oner
another one in the fall. He will not per-
NIT continuous performance such as
marred racing in this state under the old
regime. but will curtail all meetings and
have them limited to a few weeks In the
spring and fall of each year. He will
give a valuable stake for the opening day,
called by courtesy Derby-a memento
Of the American Derby. which years ago
at Washington Park was worth from
s25. 600 to $4,000 That race always at
tracted from 10000 to 10000 persons.
Carey says he will not permit bookmak-

so. may make personal bets. Sherin Zim-

gambling. it will be impossible to prevent
