that three in a room will be in order,
the roof comes of. The secretary Is
the buffer between the hotel and the
player. as he very rapidly learns.
1t is the same story all over the Cir
cult the same ceaseless hustle for ac-
commodations. the same rushing about
to arrange for special ears. the same
bawling out of pickering players.
Through 1t all Billy Fowler preserves
OF the railroad men. the hotel men and
the players. You see II pays to have
experience.
For Eight Years.
I've been connected with the Wash
ington club ever since the American
League came to town" Fowler told the
writer, "and for nine years have gone
en- the road with the team. The worst
experience / ever had In my line was
arriving in st. Louis during the worlds
fair in 1904 and not having a place to
take the bunch. That gave me a horror
and shall never forget the man in the
ST. James Hotel, who said he was will
ing to give us shelter. I could have
fallen on his neck.
Yes, there's a lot of detail to the Job
of arranging for the regular tours.
Imagine all the details you have to
make for yourself for a short trip, say
to Boston. Then think of what must
be done for thirty-fve men who are to

The present system was opposed
strongly by Frank 8. Butterworth, Jack

to training plans given out by Secre-
tary Charles Navin, will not be ex-

and will not even report until after
the youngsters have been looked over

In the spring exhibition games the
veterans will not be used IL there are
enough youngsters TO make up the
team. The squad will not be divided
this year a radical departure from
former custom, but will be kept to-
gether so that Manager Jennings may
watch all the players in action.
The exhibition games make up the
hardest practice schedule arranged for
the Tigers in years. After meeting

RACING At LAUREL
HANGS ON PAYING
UP STAKES WON
Jockey Club Receipt of Com
plants May Cause Meet
ing to Go by Boards.

| Followers of racing in Washington are
today confronted by the announcement
| that racing at Laurel, Md, may be
| taken off the calendar, following COM
plants made by owners that the Lau-
| rel meet failed to live up to its agree
| ment with owners Of horses.
The Jockey Club in New York is in
receipt Of complaints today alleging
ply with its agreement to owners, and
that has brought forth a protest both
from owners and the manager of the
Laurel track, Henry d. Brown.
The question hangs upon the interpre-
tation of the stewards then on duty at
the last meeting at Laurel The stew
ards decided that the Laurel track must
pay two owners larger sums than was
to be in accordance with what the man.
ager thought was proper. and with what
he claimed to have advertised.
Some more definite decision must be
reached. it is said today. before the
racing Is resumed at Jamestown The
decision is to affect several stakes ad-
vertised in much the same manner as
those under dispute at the Laurel meet
ing.
At least three horses must take PEN
alties for having won at Laurel when
the stakes were not at what the owners
claim was advertised. In this way
jamestown races are said to be in dam
ger Of suffering unless the matter is
satisfactorily adjusted.
Turfmen, who have for some weeks
been aware Of the disputed decision,
fear that il Mr.. Browns attitude is per-
sisted in the Laurel race course will
not be recognized by the Jockey Club
when II asks for dates next October.
Another source of friction which is
causing some discussion by the stew
ards Is the fact that the Havre de Grace
management have asked for dates from
April to 26 next, and the application
has been held over by the Jockey Club
stewards, as some of those dates were
In 1912 used by the jamestown track.
and its manager some time ago asked
for spring dates which would not be
claimed by the Maryland Jockey Club.
Experienced turfmep said today that
harmonious arrangement is possible
whereby Jamestown, Pimlico and
Havre de Grace can all be granted dates
in April and May, which would satisfy
all three of the Arrangements. LaurePs
charter limits il to the month of Octo-
ber so ii would not be considered In
the spring.

can land them in Cleveland in time for
the scheduled game with the Maps. II
the doubleheader runs late for any rea-
son-well. some other train must be
taken. Now q special car can't be
coupled on and uncoupled at moments g
notice in these days Of railroading and
so the secretary has to use all his pow
ers of persuasion to obtain his accom-
modations. Well. Billy Fowler usually
gets what he goes after and the Climb
ers travel with much less trouble than
would be the case were the secretary
somebody else.
The quick jump out of Boston necessi-
tates Fowler's cleaning up his hotel ac-
count before he goes to the park. Then,
he frequently discovers that some care
less player has laundry due or trunk
left In his room. That's why the secre-
tary gets grayheaded before his time.
OF course. he has wired ahead to
Cleveland for his hotel there. but he
may have to make way for another
convention there. too. That means more
trouble.
Convention Town.
The worst convention town in the
country is Detroit. Ball clubs will ar
rive there bright and early in the morn
ing. coming from Cleveland by boat,
and find no rooms available. Then
there's bowling. Fowler has to get at
least a couple of rooms for the most
nervous men to sleep In before the
game. This always applies to the pitcher
scheduled to work that day. But then
there's the rest of the bunch.
This fellow wants to take a bath. That
one wants the trainer to. rub his sore
shoulder. The other wants to shave.
They all stand around and bawl the
secretary for not getting them rooms.
And when they are informed that no
rooms will be ready till 8 o'clock and
