The Case Of Tacks Latimer.

bygone year. who was quite an able back
stop, and also one OF the most eccentric
characters that ever played the game
Once At Pittsburg they paired Latimer
and Rube Waddcl as a battery. and the
ensuing consequences were terrible TO
depict-but that is another story Any
how, Tacks Latimer has had few rivals
as comedian or as n maker OF hlar-
lous breaks. and it's TOO bad he has quit
the game.
Some years ago. when I was still an
active player. 1 was invited to New Or
leans for n series of winter games. Frank
Bancroft was invited also. TO act as bust
ness manager OF the combination. and
when the New Orleans people wired for
a catcher I dug up Latlmcr. AS il
Tacks had got married the day
before I hunted him up. There was only
one railroad ticket for him, and he had
almost no money.

The ten-round boxing contest between
Peanuts Sinclair and Kid Davis AT
The Manhattan club tonight for the
featherwcight championship OF The state,
Will probably be the best contest OF this
kind ever seen in this city. Both boys
are well known locally and as both have
beat all the boys in their class and
wound up last spring by boxing a four
round draw. The boys have been trying
for some time to get return match
over longer route TO determine who Is
really the best man,
They have both trained as hard for
this bout as II 4 were for the cham
pionship OF the world and pronounce
themselves in perfect condition 10 go the
full ten rounds at top speed.
Peanuts has been boxing longer
than Davis and consequently has had a
great deal more eXpericne. but he has
also had several contests In which he
had decidedly the worst Of the argument
until he was able 10 connect with his ia
roriie right hand punch 10 the jaw with
which he has won nearly all Of his con-
tests. He was also knocked out once
by Reagan, which does not help boxer

WHITNEY HAS LOST
S25O,0O0 ON RACES
American Conducts Stables
on Magnificent Scale in
England and France.

LONDON, Sept. 17.-Harry Payne
Whitney's adventures on the European
turf this year have cost him a cool quar-
ter OF a million dollars. This Is the
computation Of English turf experts.
Whitneys luck since March has been
so bad that it has been byword on the
race track. Whitney has had moro than
forty horses In training but he has won
only thirteen races and they were mostly
small events.
Few English turfmen, even Leopold
Rothschild. or the Joel Brothers, mainta In
racing stables on such n scale of mag
nificenco as Whitney. His trainer, And
rev Joyner, says they cost $4,000 year
In forfeits alone. that is. in sums paid to
release horses from their engagements to
run In races for which they have been en-
tered.
On this side entries for the loading .
year-old and 3-year-old races are made
year To eighteen months ahead When
Whitney has yearling he thinks is
promising he enters him for thirty or
forty races. In one race TO be run at
Newmarket next year he has just en-
he will have to pay 800 each for twenty
nine that do not run, When IL is re-
membered that 1t costs anything from
500 to $3.50 to make All entry on the
scale ON which Whitney does things,
what the American stands to lose can
easily be seen.
The greater part of his small winnings
this season were contributed by his T.
year-od Whskbroom, His 3-year-old
Borrow which was in the front rank as
a 2-year-od. has done nothing this sea-
son. Neither has All Gold or Iron Mask,
or which high hopes were entertained,
How much hc has lost In wagerS on his
horses beyond the $3.50. 900 his stables have
cost him. Is not known. His sportsman
like pluck is much admired here. He is

As for Flynn. he ravo unmstakab bic
evidence OF being a tough proposition,
He has lots Of stamina and can hit a
smashing punch with either hand. He
knows too. how To play for all the ad :
yantaSes there are in the game. and II
Will take tho best of the lot. to beat him,
After witnessing what he did TO Norris.
II Is not hard to understand how he came
to beat Al Kaufman. Flynn can hurt
with every blow he lands. He doubtless
hurt Kaufman, and that is why he beat
him.
Flynn, too. could have been in better
condition than he was Friday night, De-
spite the fact that he worked hard and
conscientiously while preparing for this
fight he did moi have sufficient time
