SHILLING DENIED A
LICENSE AS JOCKEY
Clever Rider Will Be on the
Ground for Revival of Rae
ing in This State.
TO RENEW THE FUTURITY
Classic Two Year Old Fixture
Will Be Run Over Track
at Saratoga Springs
in August.

Carroll Shilling. who is generally ranked
at the top among the Jockeys Of this
country, was denied a license to ride at
a meeting Of the stewards of the Jockey
Club in the offices of August Belmont. on
Exchange Place, yesterday. No reason
was given for this action. but it was said
that the cause of the refusal dated back
TO race at Pimlco last fall, when he
was suspended.
This means that Shilling not only will
be unable TO ride in this country but
that it will make il impossible for him
TO get a license abroad. The clever
jockey was under contract to Sam Hill
dreth before the gates OF the tracks were
closed in this state in 1910.
The classic Futurity will 70 renewed
this year and run at the midsummer
meeting OF the Saratoga Racing Associa-
ton at Saratoga Springs. The application
Of the Coney Island Jockey Club to trans
fer the fixture, as was done in 1910. was
granted by the stewards yesterday. This
will be good news 10 lovers of racing, as
the Futurity has ever ranked as the
greatest stake for two-year-olds OF the
American turf.
The Coney Island Jockey Club will not
open it's track at Sheepshead Bay this
year. and consequently was glad TO avail
itself of the opportunity TO transfer the
Futurity. which has been kept open from
year TO year The race will be run on
August so. the last day of the Saratoga

Giants. Superbas and Yankees
Get a Day of Rest.
PHILLIES ON THE WAY HERE
To Play at Ebbets Field This
Afternoon-Fromme Reports
to John j. McGraw.

The fans" were forced TO forego their
baseball yesterday. Wet grounds in New
York and Brooklyn and a blank in the
schedule for the Yankees made the day
restful one for the players. Several thou
sand spectators went up to the Polo
Grounds in the hope OF seeing the Giants
take partial revenge on the Cardinals. but
the downpour of Thursday left the field
too soggy for play. so that the St Louis
team got away for the West with two
victories and no defeats In the series with
the minions Of McGraw.
Profting by his experience OF Thurs
day, Bill Dahlen refused 10 give Klein an
other opportunity 10 exercise his authority
and the game between the Superbas and
the Pirates was called of early In the
afternoon. With Ebbets Field in It's pres
ent unturfed condition even slight
shower raises havoc with the grounds.
II was 4 hard blow for the Superbas 10
let the Pirates leave town with three
straight victories to their credit and no
defeats. but Brooklyn is planning 10 take
its revenge at some future date. and In
the mean time is on edge to check the
Ph,Ilies in their mad career this after
noon.
The Giants left here last night for Bos-
ton. where they will begin four-game
series with the Boston Braves. returning

not won a game before the home "fans
this season, and Chance is In hopes OF CIV
ing the onlookers a treat.
The trade between the Giants ana the
Reds furnished plenty OF food for talR
Yesterday. II was pretty generally ieit
that McGraw paid dearly for Fromme'
good a man as he Is. unless there Is an
other angle 10 the deal which has not yet
been made public. II Is A matter or rec
ord that the Little Napoleon has long
been sweet on Tyler. the Boston south
paw, and Stallngs probably would be Will
ing TO give him up for Fromme ana
WIItse or Snodgrass. This IL one way OF
completing a triangle.
In order TO explain Fromme's poor rec
ord with the Reds the allbi OF good
pltcher with a poor team is advanced TOT
him. This only raises the old question
As TO whether n pitcher makes the team
or the team makes the pitcher. Give any
big league team good pitching and 1t will
be in the thick of the pennant race Is the
opinion of many fans
4 couple of good twirlers have worked
wonders with the 81. Louis Browns. III
Fromme does not have change OF luck
he probably will not win any more games
for the Giants than he has for the Reds
Tradition has II that the big Napoleon In
amounting a new general first inquired
whether he was lucky and second II he
was able. The little Napoleon. however
does not work along these lines and Is
banking on ability alone in his new selec-
ton.
At the worst, Fromme should win as
many games for New York as Ames would
have done. so that the pitching staf VIII
not be weakened TO any extent. The loss
of Devore In the ordinary course OF events
will hardly be felt, while the sacrifice OF
Groh will not be noticed so much this
year as in seasons to come.
Fromme reported 10 McGraw at the
Polo Grounds yesterday. and was quite
surrounded by the fans" who were wait
ing outside the gates in the hope OF see
ing a game. He said he was glad to be
with the Giants and seemed confident
that McGraw would never regret the deal
