sox STAR GETS 100000
comiskey's $4,000 Beauty Inherits
Fortune-WiII Continue to Play
Basebail-Recently Hurt.

Lena" Blackburne, Charles Comis-
keys $4,000 baseball star, is at the
one and the same time the most I'M
lucky and most lucky man in the
baseball game today. He is no longer
a $4,000 beauty, but is heir to more
than $2,000,OO0
His career since DOMINIC the White
Sox uniform has been marked by &C
cidents that have kept him out of the
game, but, nevertheless, Comiskey
has had faith of him ultimately max
ing good and playing brilliant base
ball.
At the Mercy hospital in Chicago
the other day Blackburne was oper-
ated dpon and the floating cartilage
in his bad knee removed While the
surgeons had him on the operating
table under an anaesthetic word
came from Philadelphia that the
young ball player had fallen heir to
q fortune running up into the mil
lions. The money was left by Priest
man Blackburne Of Philadelphia, and
the estate is estimated to be worth
more than $4,000, 900. There are
only five heirs and LENA" Black
burne and his father will receive one
fifth of the estate. This estate will
be settled within a week
When Blackburne RECEIVERS from
his operation and gets into harness
again he will be the wealthiest ball
player under contract His father,
approaching all that Comiskey has
done for his son, sent word that his
boy will remain with the White Sox
and prove that the faith of the Old
Roman in his ability was not mis-
placed.

Baseball fans are eagerly awaiting
the first box score. These makeshifts
don't strike the right place.
However, now that most of the
men admit they are professionals, the
games deserve a little boosting.
Baseball does not appear to appeal
more strongly to the British mind
than does cricket to the American.
Why is it that baseball players al
ways pull off" play? Why not try
one on some time?
To the average American the idea
of 'livening'' cricket deserves an il
lustration on the back page
Perhaps the reason New York is
such good sporting town is that
every one helps boost there.
Eddie Hahn, who was with the
world champion White Sox, will man
age the Mansfield CO.. team this sea-
son.
Fred Hunter of the Pirates says he
started his career as pitcher and
lost three years by not being given a
trial
We would need more championship
pennants to go around If all Of the
baseball clubs lived up to expecta-
lions.

QUIT RACING IN NEW PORK
Jockey Clubs Action VIII Cause I
Of $4,000 900 Yearly-Eigns
Tracks Affected.

The announcement OF the JOCKEY
club that there will be no racing IN
New York state this year Is the cnieA
topic of discussion in sporting circles
Just what effect the action OF tne
jockey club will have on thorougnOreo
racing throughout the country is ol-
f1cult for followers of the sport mere
to estimate.
Racing will now be confined 10
three states only-KentucRy, virginia
and Maryland Both Louisiana anu
California have recently barred rae
ing and Florida will follow suit April l.
]. B. Haggin, the most extensiVe
breeder of race horses In the country
is finding a market for his horses IN
the Argentine Republic and Europe
and several other important breeders
will be compelled to do the same OF
retire from the breeding industry.
England will benefit largely from
present conditions. H. P. whitney,
James r. Keene, John E. Madden, Au-
gust Belmont and other owners VIII
probably send their stables to race lot
the big English stakes.
The action of the jockey cIuD al
fects eight running tracks In TINS
state. The aggregate value OF the
plants thus made idle is about I've
million dollars, divided as follows:
Belmont Park, $4,000 Sheepshead
Bay, 100000 Brooklyn, $1,6OO.OOO;
Jamaica. $1,O0O,0Oo; Brighton Beach,
$4,000 900; Empire City, 100000;
Aqueduct, 100000; Saratoga, ST.
100000. Fully thousand thorough
breds will be thrown out of training
and about foIt y thousand persons en-
ployed directly or indirectly in con-
nection with the racing game VIII Dc
compelled to seek work elsewhere.
The financial loss from the closing
of the tracks, as estimated by racing
men here, will be in the neighborhood
of S2O,OOO,00 a year. This includes
the loss of interest on the real es-
tate and other investments. Then It
is figured that patrons of racing have
been accustomed to spend about $1O.-
100000 annually in New York city
and large sums also in Saratoga and
Buffalo. The annual expenditures OF
the racing associations have general
Iy exceeded $6,000,000 and the rail-
roads share in the disbursements has
included about $1,5O0.OOO spent for
fares and freights.

EeIne by the Sea.

l walked alone on the shore in the
twilight. All about me was solemn
silence. The high vault was the dome
of a Gothic church. The stars hung
there like countless lamps, but they
burned low and flickered. The waves
of the sea roared like a hydraulic or
gan; stormy chants, full of sorrow
and despair, but triumphant withal
Above me was a bank of white trail
ing clouds that looked like monks,
all passing with bowed heads and sor-
rowing faces, melancholy process
sion. 1t looked almost as though they
were following a funeral who is
to be buried? Who is dead?" said to
myself rs Great Pan dead ?"-

Following in the footsteps of Jim
McAleer, Jim MCGUIRE of the Maps
does not propose to spend much of his
time on the coaching lines the COM
ing season.
The veteran Jim thinks that he can
be Of more service to his team by di-
recting things from the bench, and he
is hopeful of developing good pair
of coachers. Mcclure explains that
good coachers, in his opinion, are not
those who make the most noise, but
players who know the game and can
detect an opening when 1t presents
itself.
TITS funny what a soft Job the
average fan believes a manager has"
remarked Mcclure recently. "In the
opinion of the fan all the manager
has to do is sit around, enjoy the
games and draw his pay envelope

Little do the fans realize how far
they are from the real truth, for If
there is one job that requires a lot
Of hard work, constant worry, It's
that of the manager" remarked Jim.
THE part the fans see of the man
ager, the sitting on the bench or pos
ing on the coaching lines, doesn't look
very hard, and in many ways it isn't,
but that is the softest part of the
position. In order to appreciate what
the manager of ball team is up
against one must become a manager"

There has been no telephone conncc-
