JUDGE BURKE IS NO MORE.
Veteran Racing Official, Once at Gut

NEW YORK, October 16-Turfmen all
over the United States and Canada knew
Joseph j. Burke, the racing official, who
died at his home in Richmond Hill, Long
Island, Tuesday night. Judge Burke, as
he was called because he presided in the

severe cold while officiating at the

Burke was a turf writer twenty-five
years ago before accepting the appoint

the horses at several New York tracks.
being noted as an adept in this respect.
1t was because he suspended a jockey
who was employed by an influential turf
man that he was compelled to resign. He
went back to turf reporting after that
and was recognized generally an au-
thority as to rules of racing and the
breeding industry. He never wagered a
dollar on horse race and was respected
highly on the big and little tracks.
Burke leaves a widow and several
grown-up children.

BY ]. ED GRILLo.

Just what position the Players Fra
ternity will take since the commission
has announced that 1T Is willing 10
make such concessions as the players
may ask, provided it can negotiate
with the players direct and not with
Dave Fultz their president, remains
to be seen.
The commission contends that Fultz
organized the fraternity for personal
gain, and if the players insist that he
represent them there will be no
changes made in the contracts or con-
ditions The players certainly owe
some sort of consideration to FultZ,
who organized them, though to stand
by him means not to get what they
want from the commission.
It is because of Fultz that the play
ers and commission are apt to have
friction during the winter, and 1t re-
mains to be seen whether the fra
ternity, with partial victory in sight,
will stand by Fultz or let him slide
There may be good reason for hav-
ing assistant starters at race tracks,
but why these individuals should be
armed with bull whips, switches ant
other instruments of punishment which
only tend to excite the horses, is hard
to understand
More starts are spoiled by the actions
of the assistant starters than are helped
by them 1t is a noticeable fact that
whenever the assistant starters are busy
mepding the barrier end are not pulling
and whipping the horses the steed:
are perfectly docile, but they do not take
kindly to being whipped and punished, and
the work of the chief starter would PROB
ably be helped considerably and be more
satisfactory if he did not have any as
sistance at all.
Though the Athletics will hardly need
any strengthening to win the American
Leag,i,, pennant next season. the chances
are that Mack will be even better forti-
fled in the next campaign than he was
in the last. This because of the prospect
he has of having much stronger pitch
ing staff than he could boast of in the
past two years.
Bender and Plank are sure to hold
their own. They may not be able to
work as often as they did during the

order to see the games for the world s
contests.
According to the report Of the national
commission, which had charge of the
series, 150.992 persons paid admission TO
the five games played. The gate receipts
totaled $325, $780, To this amount must be
added the spectators fees" which were
easily 100000
daily reserved seats and two-dollar
tickets in the hands of the spectators
at 5000. Many of these were sold at
an advance of from $40 to $50 for
tickets good for three games. There
fore, with five games, 500, 900 is not
too much to charge to the spectators
column.
Hotels benefited largely by the series.
With the Out-of-town visitors there
was a big representation of Phila-
delphians in New York daily Many
of them left overnight for the New
York game and spent the second night
in this city, leaving for Philadelphia
early in the morning in time to reach
Shibe Park before the game.
Many Public Agencies Benefited.
During the week of the series the
hotels were benefited to the extent of
$250,OO0 Railroads came in for their
share of the receipts. Many special
trains were run from the south, west
and New England states. Add to
these the daily trips between Phila-
delphia and New York. and $175,00O or
100000 is easily accounted for.
1t is doubtful whether more taxicabs
and automobiles were ever seen at an
event than-a at the Polo Grounds and
Shibe Park. The receipts from this
source aggregated s25,00O, while the
subway and elevated carried 10000
daily to the games in this city and
25, 900 travelled to Shibe Park daily in
street cars. This item alone foots UP
to nearly $4,000.
Theaters were not neglected, and the
box receipts were probably increased
s25. 900 by the series.
Many visitors spent their early
morning hours visiting department
stores. and these derived material
financial benefits from the games. Not
less than $4,000 to 100000 was spent
in the stores.

Roll High Scores.

One of the best sets of the year was
rolled in the District League last night
between the Belmonts and j. e ID. S.
quints. The sets totaled 1,526 for the for
lner and 1,5S3 for the latter, but the
one game, won by the j. E. D. S. five was
FOR a mark of 567, which gave it the
greatest aggregate number of pins, but
the Belmonts took two out of the three
games. The Belmonts got 524 In the first
against $40 for their opponents, and they
scored 5o1 In their third, while their op-
ponents were only four pins behind with
1877. And it might be mentioned that
the third game rolled by the j. E. ID. S.
bunch was the only one which fell below

The first three men for the J. Z. D. S.

NEW YORK, October 16.--Not Tar snort
from a million and a quarter OF dollars
was the cost of the recent worlds base
bali series to the American public. Whie
this amount may be taken as fair esti-
mate of money directly expended, there
are many items that might be added TO
the expense list which are indirectly
traceable to the craze for base ball.
1t is, perhaps, the most. remarkapie
tribute to the popularity of base paii
when more than 10000 persons Will at
tend five games and pour into the treas
uries of the hotels, railroads, theatefs'
ticket spectators, club owners and play
ers. and various other beneficiaries sums
that few years ago would have APP
peared grossly exaggerated when traced
to the national game. Patrons of base
ball have stamped themselves as liberal
spenders and. are reckless regarding cost
when their favorite pastime is noerned.
This applies to out-of- town followers of
base ball, as well as the supporters of
the Giants
Comparison With English Receipts.
Lord Northcliffe, during his recent visit,
expressed surprise that the attendance
was not better at the contests which
settled the worlds supremacy. EIe call
ed attention to the fact that the English
association foot ball championship at the
Crystal Palace. near London, attracts 12o,
600 enthusiastic spectators But as a
matter of fact, the average price at a
foot ball game in England is not much
more than quarter, which makes the
total receiptS about $4,000 for the game.
This is about one-half of the daily re-
ceipts at the Polo Grounds.
Since the Giants have been winning the
National League championship with such
aggravating regularity, many out-of-town
business men arranged their business en-
gagements in the east SO as to make them
fall due about the date of the worlds
series, and these helped to swell the re-
cepts, while not a few fans from dis
tant cities arranged their vacations in

Three records We're broken III the

while the individual record for high game
was smashed. The Bankers broke the
high game record by knocking down 542
pins in their second frame while they
also rolled the highest set yet registered
-1,553. Bontz made the score which gave
him the high individual mark for one
game-144
The Bankers Won all three of the
games. The Goodfellows did some fairly
good rolling, but in not one of the frames
We're they able to secure a higher score
than their rivals They came very near
getting away with the third, but the
Bankers managed to hold their margin
by three pins. This margin would have
been greater had Bontz rolled up to the
standard of his first two games Every
man of the Bankers quint did some very
creditable work. In the game in which
the record for teams in the league was
broken Bontz also passed the mark for
individual scores, with LA. The others
registered 9S, 101. 94 and 105. Roberts
