GOV. DIX. ASKED
TO SAVE \. Y. RACING
Turf Magnates Plead With
Executive to Have Dras-
tic Law Repealed.

2 Albany, n. Y. April 1S.-Whether
there is to be a racing revival in New
York may depend upon the outcome Of
a series of conferences Governor Dix.
President r. T. Wilson and Secretary
Andrew Miller of the Saratoga Racing
association and Senator Bracket be-
gan here today.
Messrs Wilson, Miller and Bracket
urged that there is little chance of a
resumption of the sport on any track
this season unless the law is repealed
that makes, directors responsible for
gam bling on the tracks. They besought
the governor to employ his influence
with the legislature to have that law
repealed. The governor asked time to
consider.
The race track officers declared that.
though the Martin bill practically re-
peals the statute to which objection Is
made. it would not grant the relief
sought.
Senator Bracket urged that new
system of patrol be established on ev-
cry track. He said that he believed a
plan could be devised whereby efficient
officers clothed with state authority
| could be employed to enforce the anti
gambling law.

Chicago's Cubs at last broke out OF
the maiden stakes yesterday and by
beating Pittsburg. to 2, got back into
the national pastime-
The quality of ball played wasn't
any better than that they have shown
during the season of discomfort but
there was new spirit in the team and
it played as If 1t We're newly oiled. The
old machine was working, and work
ing well. manufacturing runs at a rate
that set the big Monday crowd wild.
The plain truth is that If the Cubs
had played since the season opened
with the same fire, dash and fight they
showed yesterday they would have had
five games to their credit without a
defeat. There were dash and spirit,
fight and brains in their efforts. and ii
was Chance who led them and stirred
them to greater efforts.
At the start it looked as if Pitts
burg would come through and win
again, but the Cubs started running
the bases. upset the Pirate defense and
grabbed the lead.

New York. April 18.-The announce
ment by the Swedish authorities that
entries for the Olympic games next
year will close early in June has
drawn a protest from the American
warded this week to the Swedish COM
mittee
According to the ideas OF the Ameri-
cans this date is entirely too early for
the American committee to name a
team. but whether the protest is al
| lowed or not, James E. Sullivan. sec
! rotary of the Amateur Athletic Union,
is authority for the statement that the
Americans will have a team whose
makeup will be decided by tryouts in
Boston, Chicago. San Francisco and
| some city in the south.
II the Swedish authorities refuse to
change their plans our committee will
consider a plan of holding the tryouts
| this fall" says Mr.. Sullivan Person
ally think this would be q bad
I scheme. It would mean that some OF
the boys would get In their best con-
dftion for tho tryouts and then lag
when the time comes for hard train
ing next spring.
Irrespective OF what action the
Swedish committee may take America
will send over q winning team. we

good enough to scors enough points to

SHAFROIH vEIOES
SPORTS MEASURE
Gives Same Arguments as
Advanced by Folk in
Passing on Bill.

Denver, Colo. April Ex-Governor
Shafroth today vetoed the racing and
boxing bill passed last week by the
legislature. The veto was based upon
practically the same arguments an
-nounced by former Governor Folk OF
Missouri in vetoing a racing bill in
that state.
In mis- veto message Governor Shat
roth said:
Il regard this bill as in violation of
the cons titution and moral lazy. and 1
want to say that II you pass it over
my veto I never will appoint racing
commission, such as it provides for
until I am compelled to do so by a
writ of mandamus issued by the high

PACKEY CHOICE OVER
MURPHY IN n. Y. FIGHT
Critics Believe Chicagoan
Will Have His Hands
Full in Battle.

New York, April 1s.-When Packey
Mcfarland shakes hands with Harlem
Tommy Murphy prior to the beginning
of the much talked of ten round bout
at the F'airmont A. c. tonight he will
find himself In high favor. although
the general impression is that these
crack lightweights will put up a hard
battle.
Murphys splendid condition was con-
firmed by visitors at the club yester-
/ day. and word was quickly passed
around that he looked fit enough to
make the famous Chicago boxer hustle
from gong to gong. Murphy will make
the required weight. 135 pounds, at 8
o'clock this afternoon. He has trained
for this match, and looks bigger and
stronger than ever before.
J In his work with several burly SPAR
ring partners he has developed some
| hard hitting and much aggressiveness.
while his speed has astonished his
handlers. Murphy was fast when he
outpointed pal" Moore here several
months ago. and he was in a fair way
to recover his lost laurels from *. o.
Brown when Illness suddenly put him
down and out. He was compelled ia
take a long rest. and Il, was a slow
| task to regain his strength. He is
strong and vigorous today, as well as
supremaly confident.
In November. 1908. Murphy boxed six
| rounds with Mcfarland in Philadel-
phia. and those who were eye witnesses
! always have declared that Packey had
! his hands full. Murphy got q line or
| Mcfarland in that affair which he new
er has forgotten, and he actually be-
lieves he will beat the stock yards
champion" tonight.
