:. HARNESS RACING :.
!. IN LONDON, ENG. =
;..'...........

London. Sept. 23.--With the object
OF raising light harness racing 20 the
high standard prevailing in the United
States, the London Trotting club has
been organized. Although the n"mt er
of trotting meetings in the United
Kingdom has never been large some of
them have given the sport an unsavory
reputation by indulging In practices
which have been practically banshed
from American tracks. Even the pro-
fessional racing for stakes does not
furnish records comparable with matt
nee racing i'm America and the pro-
jectors of the new club are as anxious
To- raise this standard as they are to
make the racing clean.
The club has adopted many of the
latest rules in light harness racing and
viii insist on their observance. The
system of penalties and suspensions
which prevailed under the old trotting
union of Great Britain will be revived
The style of starting has been re-
modelled and all horses will be required
TO be sent off from behind tapes. The
track will be closed TO horses that are
late In answering the starters bell,
thereby obviating the delays which
have mace the sport unpopular with
spectators. A new body Of stewards
has been appointed.

CRITICIZING KILBANE.
Fans Claim He Does Not Exert Him
self Enough.

Johnny Kilbane is getting in ba II
by his nonchalance during alleged
fights.
There has been considerable criti-
cism of the fighter since his winning
the championship of the feathers
along that line. Last week he added
to his chances of getting more by
stalling through the first part of his
fight with Eddie O'Keefe of Phila-
delphid, at New York.
Kilbane had the better of the bout
all the way, but failed to get down
to business until the scheduled 10
rounds were nearly finished.
However. Johnny is the champ. He
had TO go through the mill to get
there and nobody can blame him for
making all there is out of the honor
and taking as little chance as pos
sibe.

COMMISSION HAS HARD JOB.
Not So Easy to Name Baseballs Great
est Players.
BY F. Leipziger


The Chalmers commission. composed
of representative body Of newspaper
men, is accomplishing a work not only
Of general interest but also Of real
service. For it devovcs upon this
commission. as everyone knows, to de
terinine annually who is the leading
player in the National and American
leagues.
This year the labors Of the commits
sion will be made more difficult than
usual by the presence of several com
plications. The argument as to wheth-
er or not a previous winner of the
commissions trophy should be render
ed ineligible on that account has been
happily settled i'm the negative. There
seems no reason Why "A player should
be debarred from further PARTICIPATION
in the chief honors of the baseball
world simply because he has already
at some previous time in his career at
taired that honor and the vote of the
Chalmers commission TO consider
candidates availability solely upon his
record for the present season VIII TN
Questionably embody the prevailing
sentiment of the community.
There ere several other factors. how
ever, IN the work of this commission
which cannot be SO easily settled ON"
of these factors is the proper rating Of
pitchers. 1t is fairly easy to compare
infielders with outfelders, but it is
hard, to say the least to determine
what rating should be given pitcher.
Walter Johnson has been largely re-
sponsible for the wonderful showing of
the Washington club as has Wood that
of the Boston Red SoX. How Is judge
To compare the value of Johnson with
| ~ Cobb for instance, or Wood with
iris Speaker? Happily we are not
called upon To decide this question.
and shall leave it most checrfully to
the commission.
