, George Cameron was coaching Cav
anagh in the latter's heat of the mile

hip!" yelled Cameron, as the men
passed the tape just before the bell
lap.
Old Adam Byerman, the oldest
amateur at the track, was set down
for a week yesterday by Referee
Arthur Ross for rough riding in the
three-mile open. Byerman was rid
ing as an amateur when Kramer was
a member of the Simon pure" ranks.
That is some years ago when you
come to think it over.
Clark played his role as the Velo-
drome "prima donna" yesterday by
keeping the crowd waiting for several
minutes before he appeared for the
first heat of the match race. He
received his usual hearty applause
when he did finally show on the track.
Over 10000 bicycle fans and fam
nesses were at the track yesterday.
Frank Cavanagh sported a fiashy
shirt yesterday. 1t was q vivid green
with a bright golden harp embroider-
ed on the back. 1t did not help him
gain any victories.
D. Pelletier, a Newark amateur,
got fourth place in the second heat
of the mile handicap but was dis
qualified for rough riding.
Joe Dowdall, the Newark amateur,
had a bad day. He was mixed in a

went down. He slid along the track
for a dozen feet and his shirt was
torn to shreds when he got up. He
will spend considerable time for the
nsxt ter days picking spnnters.

The Young Weinert-Sailor White
controversy has created lot of talk

ing fans. and there is considerable
difference of opinion as to what would
be the outcome if the men were to

their four-round contest at Troxler's
as a means of deduction it is said
that Weinert might win in a short !
bout, but that if he failed to win in

ONLY PRACTICAL
BASEBALL HEAD CAN
SAVE CARDINALS
"BiII" Armour Says So, and
Says He Wouldn't Have the
Job If Offered.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-. Jan. ss.-Hsd Bill Ar.
mour, the Toledo baseball man. been
made president Of the Cardinal club he
would never have accepted the offer
from Mrs. Havenor of Milwaukee. We
get this straight from BiIrs shoulder.
However, Armour never asked for the
job. but II is a known fact that Bresna-
han wanted Armour at the head of Mrs.
Britton's plant. In fact, that was one
big reason why Armour was retained
as scout.
Armour is eminently fitted for the po-
sition. He has owned Glass AA league
clubs, managed big league teams and
secuted through all the little leagues
o. the u. S. A. But he never received
a call 10 the presidential chair. so he
went where he could get the Job he
wanted.
Things are not breaking very well
for the Cardinals and ] feel sorry for
Mrs. Britton," Armour stated Friday
evening at the Planters. However. her
success will date from the time she in
stalls a practical man at the head of
her club. Until then. she may expect
to run into tough luck.
Armour says Manager Huggins should
get great service from Pitchers Perritt.
tiriner and Redding next season. Bill
discovered the trio in the Cotton States
League and he's cock sure they will de-
liver. He says:
This fellow Griner is 4 sure conner.
So is Perritt. ReddinS may need sea-
soning, but he'll eventually win his
spurs. I'm glad that 1 can look back
and say / found a few players OF their
stripe for the Cardinals and my worst
wish is that they each prove a Mathew
son next eason.'
