BROWN IS DEFIANT
Laurel Maqnate to Take Legal
Action Against Jockey Club.

NEW YORK, January 22.-There was
an upheaval in racing circles yesterday
when the news became known that the
stewards of the Jockey Club had refused
to grant dates for a race meeting to HI.
d. Brown. who is better known as Curley
Brown, for the track at Laurel. Nd,
where the race meet was run last year
in connection with the state fair. of which
Brown is general manager.
Brown, who is in town, was much dis
turbed at the refusal of the sanction, and
denied the right of the Jockey Club to
interfere in the matter. He intends to
fight for what he considers his rights. and
intends to go ahead with plans for the
meeting next October in defiance of the
rulers of racing in this state. If necessary.
What means Brown will take to prevent
his meeting being outlawed have not been
determined definitely, but 1t was said that
the track manager contemplated legal
proceedings to force the Jockey Club to
either approve his meeting or to prevent
its being put under the ban in case the
races are held without sanction. 1t was
said that these proceedings might go so
far as 10 ask for the dissolution of the
Jockey Club on the ground that that body,
by means of a cOpartnership agreement.
tended to Cypress racing IN the state OF
Maryland by refusing its sanction and
practically putting boycott on horses
and owners that took part in the racing
there.
Brown contends that with racing dead
in this state the Jockey Club has no legal
right to dictate in the matter of dates to
any organization; that 1t has no right to
collect the l per cent of the purses given
as called for in it's racing rules, and that
SO far as the outlawing OF a track goes.

There also was a rumor that the Har-
ford Agricultural and Breeders Associa-
ton, which controls the racing at Havre
de Grace, would break away from the
Jockey Club on account of the curtailing
OF the meeting to be held In the spring
to twelve days. Sixteen days were asked
for by the managers of tho Havre de
Grace meeting. but at the meeting Mon
day the stewards granted leave to race

Georgetown has a man who is a BILE
to look after the affairs of the foot ball
team during the next year.
Another movement on foot is to try
to bring Vanderbilt here for a game
next Thanksgiving day. Such game
would surely draw a large crowd. Man
ager Barrett has written to Glen Warner
I'm regard to Thanksgiving day game,
but Warner is firm in the belief that
Brown will see its way clear to put the
Indians on for Thanksgiving. From man
in authority at Brown it was learned
that the Indians are through as far as
Brown is concerned. When Manager Bar
rett of the hilltop team learned that
Carlisle was unwilling to come here for
the Thanksgiving day game he imme-
diately got into communication with the
Vanderbilt manager, and now he is work
ing hard to bring this great southern
team here for this date

NOTES OF THE DIAMOND.

Fred G. Smith, a young pitcher who
operated in the Michigan State League
last year, has sent his signed contract
to Secretary Foster of the Giants.
Lew Richie Of the Cubs was consider
ably bruised and gashed by being thrown
from motor cycle last week. He and
Bill Hinchman were speeding on the Day
tona beach. The formers machine struck
soft spot and the player was catapult-
ed out on the beach.
Another possible tenant of first base
for Detroit is Rondeau, the catcher. who
comes from Jersey City. Rondeau, Craw-
ford, Gaines and Moriarty are others in
the running for the job
Jim Thorpe may be the champion all
around athelete. but Wilbert Robinson Is
the champion all-around ball player.
When Roger Bresnahan comes on Robi-
son Field with the Cubs, a ST. Louis
fan says. We'll give Roger one of the
incest presents he ever got-something
big. probably a diamond" Kohinoor or
Grand Mogul?
Ed Reulbach says he is in midseason
form. There are cases of pitchers having
been knocked out of the box in midsea-
son.

only from April IS to May l, a total OF
twelve racing days.
This does not agree with the plans
made by the managers. and 1t Is pointed
out that they have received permission
from the racing commission OF Hartford
county to race for the sixteen days re-
uuired. Outside of the Havre de Grace
track only two associations received the
approval of the Jockey Club-Jamestown
and Maryland-each of which received
sixteen days. Should Havre de Grace de-
eide to throw in it's lot with Laurel the
Jockey Club would be left with only two
meetings to control. so that forces would
be about evenly divided.
1t is by no means certain that the
Havre de Grace meeting will set up in
opposition to the ruling power in this
state and Edward Burke, who is the gen
eral manager Of the meeting there. stated
last night that there was no intention to
break away fro mthe Jockey Club. He,
however, intends to see the stewards to-
day to find whether something cannot be
done to allow the dates required.

lbs have a big deal on with the Phil

lies
AS Evers appears to be anxious to
make a trade, it may be that he can be
accommodated at this end Of the line.
Doom is not standpatter. He is al
ways willing to listen to propositions
which he thinks will add strength to his
team. During his three years as man
ager of the Phillies Charlie has made a
number of trades, all of which have
proven advantageous to the home club.
Evers did not name any men in his let
ter that some of the Cubs Outfielders
could be secured for members of the
Phillies' pitching staff 1t is now be-
lieved that Earl Moore is the man that
Evers is angling for. Should the Cubs
really want Moore there will be nothing
modest about the Phillies' demand for
players in exchange.

MANAGERS ALWAYS POPULAR

Some of Them Who Made Diamond History

Interesting Incidents.

and admired him from one end of the
big league show to the other When he
died there was as much regret as if he
had been player who had been known
for his prowesS OH the field. That would
seem to show that some popularity must
attach to the manager.
Clark Griffith, rugged as he is. certain
ly is popular with those who follow base
ball closely, and i'm years gone by there
was Frank Bancroft. now the business
manager of the Cincinnatis, a man who
is known from New Bedford, Mass, to
San Francisco. Cal.
Ned" HanlOn is another manager
whose friends must be numbered by the
thousands and Fred Clarke is still an
other instance Of a manager who is
hit with the fans. although he is more
reserved and perhaps less talkative on
the field than the average of managers,
except it be in occasional admonitions to
the umpires.
No Base Ball Man Has More Friends
Than McGraw.
Coming into recent years. what is the
matter with John ]. McGraw when it
comes to looking up the question of pop
ularity of a manager. 1t is probable that
there is not a man in base ball who can
number more friends than he There is
not a city in either the National League
circuit or the American League circuit
in which he is not greeted daily by
scores loyal to him. and there is none
in which a manager can command more
attention along the line of the bleachers
than McGraw, and that usually tells the
story.
Jake" Stahl is popular manager.
How about Jimmy Callahan of the Chi
cago Americans? 1t is needless to add
Chance. now the manager of the New
York Americans. In fact, go through
the history of base ball from the time
that it began to have any history up to
the present moment and 1t will be found
that there are managers, and many of
them, who rival the famous players in
popularity, and the fans seem as glad
to see them and to watch the manner
IN which they handle their teams as they
do to note the other details of the sport

/ pie living in Chillicothe said that
Lfifty houses from Columbus swiried
past their town on the swollen waters
of the Scioto river. One survivor told
us of how he with thirteen others had
chung to the top branches of tree
for days. His sister, he said, had
grown so weak from exposure and
lack of food that he had finally been
forced to hold her in his arms. With
sobs shaking his voice, he told of her
death and of how all but five of the
party were drowned before assistance
reached them.
'.In one apartment house IN Column
bus 500 people were imprisoned from
Friday night until Tuesday. There
was almost nothing to eat and as the
water pipes had burst the water they
could get to drink had to be taken
from the flood. During all this time
the city was in absolute darkness. A
great many of the men were cooped
up in, the factories in the downtown
section and their wives out in the res
idential district, went through the
reign of terror alone.
Most of those whose lives were
saved showed the generosity of their
natures by being willing to share
their last bit of food with fellow suf
ferers. There were some, however,
who, unfortunately, tried to sell what
provisions they could get hold of at
exorbitant prices. And .then, too,
there were ghouls who robbed the
dead of money, rings and other valu-
ables. One man who was stopped in
Columbus had in his suitcase, besides
other loot, seven fingers with rings
hacked from the hands of corpses.
That part of it was horrible, of
course. But for the most part the
people were good and generous and
willing to help each other

TOM BURROWS,
CLUb.SWINGER,
GOES insane

Remember Tom Burrows, the Aus.
|tralian club swinger who made new
worlds record for continuous swing
ing here last August? Well. Bur-
rows overdid the trick In London a
short time ago, and may be perman-
emily injured in consequence.
A London dispatch says:
"The attempt of Tom Burrows, the
Australian athlete, to beat the report
ed record of 112 hours of club swing
ing. ended within three hours of the
completion of the task in q fit of de-
hrium. Burrows attacked his attend
ants with the clubs and with his fists,
but he was mastered before any dam
age was done. After the fit Burrows
instantly fell asleep, being complete
ly exhausted from the exertions of
108 hours"
Burrows established his former
worlds record at the Empire theatre
in this city, completing his herculean
task the evening of August 10 last.
1t was all Burrows could do to keep
up for 80 hours here, and to have
swung the clubs for whole day long
er than this in London must have
been a wonderful test of endurance.
The following from the Star-Bulle-
tin Of August last gives an idea of.
the terrible strain under which Bur.
rows worked:
Burrows looks so fit that it Is not
thought he will feel many i'll effects
from the terrible strain that he has
been under, but he admits himself
that he is keeping up on sheer will
force and going through the motions
mechanically, so no chances will be
taken of collapse when the nervous
tension is over. At 11:30 tonight he
will have equalled his own world re-
cord of 80 hours continuous swinging,
and he intends, il still at it, to go
two minutes over for the sake of
new record
When he stops doctor will be in
attendance in case of a collapse He
will be whirled to his home in an
auto, where he will at once be given
a hot bath and massage. Light re.
freshment will be given him, and he
will be packed off to bed.
"1 probably won't sleep well at
first, for I'll be too tired" said Bur
rows But after good breakfast
Sunday I'll go to bed again, and from
room on I'll certainly appreciate the
pillows"
