DONCAsTER, England, Sept. IL
August Belmont's 'Tracery'' ridden
by Dollhouse, today won the st.
Leger, the last Of this years classics,
and second in importance, among
English races to the derby. H. s.
Joels Maiden Eerlegh" was second
and j. Duggales' "Pretender'' third.
AS a social event the race was a
distinct fizzle, owing to King Georges
eleventh hour decision not to attend.
Court officials deny warmly that
Queen Mary's influence was respon-
sible for his absence, but most people
believe, nevertheless, that it was.
The race was run over the usual
course Of one and three-fourths miles.
Only three year olds were eligible.
To the winner the race was worth
$4,000.
"Traceryo which captured the
purse, was the popular favorite. The

MANAGERS TROUBLED
OVER FIGHT GAME
General Feeling Among Managers Of
Manhattan Flight Clubs That Big
Bouts Cannot Be Held.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-Prize fight
managers in this city were greatly
troubled today and there was gener-
al feeling that big bouts between
recognized champions cannot be held
here. The action OF Governor Dix
in serving notice on sheriff Julius Har-
burger and District Attorney Whit
man that the bout between Packey
Mcfarland and AID Wolgast was a
prize fight pure and simple and must
rot be permitted. has dazed the pro-
moters.
1t is taken to mean that the COVER
nor has determined to nullify the pres
ent Law by insisting on the enforce
ment Of the penal code making prize
fighting a felony and II he maintains
this attitude on all big matches, only
/ the second and third raters can be
brought together in the various clubs.
Dir has always taken the position
that Senator Jim Frawley buncoed
him into signing the present law. He
Insists that ne was told it was for the
benefit OF the amateurs and when he
found that 1t apparently legalized
prize fighting, he called on the leg
fgiature to repeal it. His recommend
atoms were ignored, however.

MIX-UP IN SCORING

Because He Was Relieved In the
Ninth Inning by Hall, Wood May
Not be Given Victory.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. j
CHICAGO, Sept IL There was
much speculation here today on
whether Smoky" Joe Wood, who Of
ficiated on the mound for the Red sox
yesterday, will be credited with his
fifteenth straight win. In the final
half of the ninth, with the score 5 TO
in favor of the coming champions,
Mattick opened the inning with a
double and Lord singled, TOPPING
Wood from his perch, Hall relieved
him and the White sox rally fell one
short of victory.
President Johnson of the American
League refused to state early today
whether Wood would be credit@ with
the victory. He said he would have
to hold his decision until after he
had looked over the dope.

J|NK IS WRONG
DOPE TO BLAME
MuscatIne Sport Scribe Says the
Fault With the Musky Team Was
Mere Lack Of Class
This Year.
CLUB WAS TOO HONEST
Muscatlne Stayed Within the Salary
Limit While Others Put Expen-
sIve Clubs In the
Field.

The Muscatine Journal comes across
with the following dope on the poor
showing Of the club there this season
and gives ideas of the correct way to
run the league:
The greatest insult to the intelli-
gence required to play professional
baseball today. is to see a team labor
under the delusion that it is working
against link" Forget it. A man
can make himself sick if he lets his
mind dwell on it long enough. A
"jinx" is an excuse for any losing
nine.
But how often has the term been
applied by local fans to the Musky
team? And how often have the vari-
GUS dozen players who represented
Muscatine in the Central Association
last season hardened on their fay-
orite topic of the "jinx?' 1t was not
q ink" The fact was that the To-
cal team was outclassed, outplayed
and outmanaged at almost every stage
of the pastime.
Salary Limit Busaboo.
But the real fault lay, not with
the team itself The reason that
Muscatine did not have winning
team in 1911 and 1912 was entirely
due to President J. s Sterneman and
the other officials of the Musky club
The, failod hocouco fha,- xraro 17ora /.
The fact that they were honest wai
SO notable that President NJ. z. Jus
tice commented on the fact at the an
nual fall meeting of the league moguls
held recently at Burlington.
And this leads up to the real poin
of these remarks, If there is to b
salary limit in the Central Associa
tion." said an official OF the loca
club. why not enforce it? That i
up to the president of the league
it can't be enforced, why bother VIII
a salary limit at all A limit of 81
200 is too low. 1t is too low becaus
some of the clubs. like Muscatine 70
instance. will remain within the lette
of the constitution. and put inferio
teams on the field. while other club
like Burlington, which club wa
specifically charged by the leagn
president for oyerstepping the limits o
the salary embargo. will place a 81
400 or even $1,000 team on the diam
ond.
THE only solution, it would appear
is to increase the salary limit, or ge
a president who will or has the exc
cutive ability to enforce IT.

Others Fall in Line.

Other South Dakota cities are COM
ing to see the advantages, both orna-
m ental and utilttarian, of illumina-
tion by means of cluster lights and
have ordered supplies. Two of these
are Mitchell and Huron. Mitchell, 1t
is said, has ordered the same number
as Redtield, fifty, while Huron has
seen fit to start out with a modest
twenty. At present there are only
two or three cities in the state which
have made any real attempt at orna-
mental lighting. Redfield, whenftgets
fitted out in it's gala dress. will be the
smallest to have any display of this
kind.
The above clipping was taken from
the Redield Observer and goes to
show how slow Canton is in getting
away with the new ideas. Let's
boost a little.
