Sam HiIdreth Will Train the
KohIer Horses in France.
CHANGES HIS MIND AGAIN
Baseball Commission Rules That
Yankees Must Pay Back
Salary to Player.

s. G. Hildreth has changeo MS mlhu oh-S
more. and has decided to train the Charles
KohIer horses abroad-not in England
however, but in France. He will sail N
the Campania with his wife tomorrow
while ten of the fourteen horses. including
Fftz Herbert Zeus and Novelty, will be
shipped on Saturday by the Atlantic Trans
port liner Minneapolis.
Mr.. Kohler. who bought the Hidreth
horses last fall said yesterday that lie
had made up his mind to race abroad be-
cause the outlook was so dark in this
state. He added that. so far as he could
learn, the chances were against a repeal
of the directors liability law at Albany
and that under the circumstances he could
rot afford to maintain an expensive stable
here.
Carroll Shilling, 1t is understood, has
been released from his contract, and he
will ride for a prominent stable on the
Kentucky and Canadian tracks this sum
mer.
Fitz Herbert, Zeus, Novelty, Puggins.
Gold Blade and the two-year-old colts
Broadwcod and Beethoven II have been
nominated for stakes in England. 1t is the
present intention to prepare this lot at
Maison Lafitte, in France. for these and
other races and ship them across the Chan
mel few days prior to the running of the
races.
The rules of racing in France specify
that only horses foaled in that country are
eligible TO start in races on the fiat. Oc-
casionally, however, the conditions of some
races permit the entry Of foreign-bred
horses. For this reason some of the Kohler
horses will he schooled for jumping.
Under a ruling by the National Baseball
Commission yesterday, the New York Yam
KEGS must pay 1854 TO Justin Fitzgerald in
back salary.
He asserted that on September II, 1911. he
was disposed OF 10 the Jersey City club, or
the then Eastern League, with which he
played until September "a. when its season
closed, under a promise from President
Farrell that he would receive his salary
from that time to october IS. but that his
demand for 1854 in satisfaction Of that
claim was ignored.
Indications point to an agreement be-
tween the new Columbia League and the
United states League which may result in
q combination of the two possibly under
the former name. In such case the Colum-
bia League would take over the franchises
in several cities now in the United States
League so that the circuit would be made
up of Chicago. Pittsburgh, Cincinnati,
Cleveland, ST. Louis, Kansas City, Louis
willie and Indianapolis. 1t begins to look as
If baseball angels were hard to find.

more year played end and tackle on the

and guard and his senior year was used
of ,orfar 20 n tba T,,
lane University team. Of New Orleans and
turned out a successful eleven. His ex-
perience on the line and in the back field
make him a valuable man.
The much talked of bout between
'Packey" Mcfarland. the Chicago light
weight, and 'One Round" Hogan, of San
Francisco. will be held at the Fairmont
Athletic Club, of The Bronx, tonight
Hogan is sure that he will win on points.
for he believes that his we'll known hitting
ability will Offset the speed and skill OF
Mcfarland. There are few who share his
opinion, for the stockyards boy has never
met his master in the roped arena. Hogan
10 = good boxer but not so clever as Nc
Farland. and his famous wallop has been
slumbering for some time.
