MARYLAND RACING
DR.. Bowen Has Bill to Put II in
Charge of Commission.
MAKES RIGID RESTRICTIONS
Decision Of the Board Would in Most
Cases Be Final-Heavy Pen

MAKES RIGID RESTRICTIONS


ANNAPOLIS, Nd, February 13.-In or
der to guard against the expected effort
to declare racing In Ba timore county fl
legal on the ground that the present sys-
tenn OF having the judges OF the circuit
court award the licenses is unconstitu-
tional, DR.. Bowen will introduce In the
house Of delegates today a bill appoint
ing a racing commission for the county.
Recently the circuit court handed down
a decision declaring the road loan law
of the county unconstitutional, because
it imposed upon the court the power OF
appointing a road commissioner. This.
the court declared, was outside Of It's
judicial powers and rendered the whole
law void.
AS the present law allows the court to
award racing licenses I'm Baltimore coun-
ty, 1t has been feared by friends of rae
ing that some legal action might be taken
to prevent race meets in the county. If
the present legislature adjourns without
providing a new racing system for the
county 1t is feared that until some new
law is passed there would be no racing
either at Pimlico or at the county fairs
While providing against such a contin-
gency, the authors of the bill have also
attempted, SO DR.. Bowen declares, to put
racing in the county on a high pane and
surround 1t with safeguards which Will
not make 1t unsatisfactory to the ma
jority OF the people in the county.

HARD WRESTLING MATCH.
Americas and PerTelli to Clash
Thursday Night at Lyceum.

Matchmaker Pat O'Connor Of the
Lyceum Theater announces wrestling
bout which will prove of considerable
interest to the wrestling fans of this
city.
The match is to take place after the
regular performance Thursday night Of
this week, and is between Americas. the
light-heavyweight champion. and John
Perrelli, the Italian champion. Both
these men are recognized as among the
leading wrestlers Of the world. Perrelli
has been very successful. and will be re-
nembered best by Westinghouse in
his last match with Shad Link.
The. bout between Americas and Per-
reln is to be finish one, two out Of
three falls. and it should prove one Of
the best matches seen In Washington in
years. O'Connor will act as referee for
the occasion.

most every nationality, including many
Americans, who make Monte Carlo their
happy hunting ground.
Kid Mccoy proved that man can
come back to the ring after ten years and
give good account Of himself. He was
thirty pounds lighter than Curran and
twelve years older, but only at one period
did 1t appear as if Curran had a chance.
Mccoy was wonderfully active and showed
much of his old-time cleverness in escap-
ing blows. At the end Of the twentieth
round, when Mccoy was given the deci-
sion, he received a great ovation.
1t must be conceded to Curran that he
had had long journey and was evil

in climate would have considerable ef-
feet on him..
It is understood that several big fights
have been arranged and will be pulled of
next year. From a promoters point OF
view there is no place in the world to
touch Monte Carlo, with its wealthy
clientele. 1t is q wonder to me that it
has not occurred to some of the pro-
big international fights either in Monte
Carlo or Paris.
There is another place besides Monte
Carlo which would lend itself as a stage

tian. 1t lies only twelve miles from the
French frontier, just over the border of
Spain. and has bull ring capable of

be obtained as an arena in which to pull
off contests. I don't know that boxing
has ever been introduced n Spain, but l
should say that it Is a sport to which the
Spaniards would be greatly attracted.
I suggested this to one of the biggest
promoters in New York as place where
a series of boxing bouts would draw tre-
mendous crowds. It is quite close to
Biarritz.. France. which, next to Monte
Carlo is probably the most favorite re-
sort for English and Americans, besides a

easily outfought Jim Stewart, always OF
Brooklyn, In their ten-round bout at the
Carlyle Athletic Club in Brooklyn last
night. Morris had the better Of every
round from the first to the last. He did
all the fighting. and only Stewards re-
treating and holding tactics enabled him
to stay the scheduled ten rounds
Morris weight was announced from the
ringside as go pounds, while Stewards
weight was quoted at 202. But there
were those at the ringside who were will
ing to wager. could they have found any
takers for their proposition. that at the
end of the affair Morris had worked of
more weight than Stewart
Charlie White, the referee, repeatedly
warned Stewart that he was supposed to
be taking part in fight and not a
turkey trot or other event in which the
embrace is enfolding and clinging, but it
was all to no avail. Mr.. Stewart insisted
upon preserving his features and anatomy
by running away every time the bell rang
to start q round.
The Carlyle Athletic Club is out in
Brooklyn-far out. But, nevertheless, q
crowd of about 1900 fans, attracted by
what they thought might prove an inter-
esting contest, made the journey. And
mostly they were disappointed.
So far as the fight is concerned, Norris
made a great showing. He landed nearly
all the blows that were landed, and sew
eral times when he succeeded in corner
ing Mr.. Stewart and the latter perforce
swung his right as a last resource, the
blow landing flush on Morris jaw, he
took it as If it didn't bother him in the
slightest degree. And he never stopped.
In the sixth round Morris slammed over
right that cut wider Stewards mouth
and he even broadened Jim's nose, but
most Of the time James sought and found
a semblance of safety in flight.
There were no knockdowns.

DEMAREST AFTER THE TITLE.

Arrest, whose meteoric career as an anna
teur billiard champion led him into the
professional ranks. where he won the 1872
balk line championship title. only to lose
1t again, has challenged Willie Hoppe for
that title. Hoppe has already accepted II
unofficially, and it is likely that the match
will be decided about the middle Of April
In the grand ballroom of the Hotel AS

In a recent interview Demarest is quot
ed as stating that as an amateur he huns
up a record average of % STA at the 49,
balk line game and also ran Isl caroms,
while in the recent match in which Hoppe
defeated George Sutton the champion
averaged only - TIL and his best run

him In the coming match. If Hoppe sue

If Carl Morris continues to improve the
day may yet come when he Will give
Jack Johnson battle. Morris, consider
ing the fact that he has been in the
fistic game but little over year. has
advanced rapidly. He has shown to bet
ter advantage with every fight and has
established q reputation for being game,
which means much to a fighter. The
Oklahoma man is being well handled.
He is not allowed to go out of his class
and is not being overworked. Several
clever boxers, among them Mike Gibbons.
are teaching him the fine points OF the
game, and, barring accident. there Is
no reason why Morris should. not be
top-notcher in due time. The fact that
he has the physique means much, and
when he gets SO that he will know how
to protect himself and punish his eppo-
nent he should be decidedly hard for
any one to beat.
shifting of Catcher Graham from the
Cubs to the .Phillies in exchange for a
battery of youngsters, which was an
nohnced yesterday. In this swap Doom
seems to have acted wisely, for 1t forti-
fies his team behind the bat, where when
anything happens to Doom 1t has been
rather weak. Graham is not only a good
catcher but a strong batsman, and there
will be considerable surprise expressed
that the Cubs let him out.
Because of its reputation for wrangling
and factions the National League never
goes into session without some predic-
tons being made as to what may happen
while the magnates are together. A Ma
tional League meeting which is harmo-
NOUS has not been held in recent years,
nor is 1t apt to be for some time yet.
Notwithstanding the predictions that the
present one Is going to run along smooth
ly, the chances are that there Will be
some sort Of an exposition before 1t Ia
over.
It is not likely, for instance. that the
Bresnahan charges against Charley Muir
ply will be dropped. Bresnahan Is sure
to stand pat, and there are just enough
club owners who like nothing better than
to make things uncomfortable. for Muir
ply to take advantage OF the present
affair and take a stand with Bremhan.

CHICAGO, February 13.-AIanager
Clark Griffith of the Washington Ma
tionals was the first of the American
League magnates to arrive in the city to
attend the American League schedule
meeting. His early arrival was proof
positive that he was out for some kind
of dicker. and he admitted that he was
anxious to annex the title to some young
players before leaving here for home the
last of the week. He hurried out to
Comiskey Park soon after reaching town
and had n long consultation with the
White SoX leader regarding some of the
youngsters that he wants. He would not
say just what players he was after but
would not deny that Babe Borton or
TEX Jones, first basemen, would be of
great help to him. Dell Paddock, third
baseman Martin Berhammer OF Morris
Rath, second basemen. would also be ac-
ceptable if he could get them. There is a
good chance that Callahan will let his old
comrade have one or two OF these young
infielders. 1t is certainty that the Chi

the youngsters through the summer, and
some kind of trade may be fixed up that
