NEW YORK TRACKS
MAY OPEN FOR
SEASON
COURT DECISIONS SAID TO HAVE
MADE RACING A POSI-
BIIITY AGAIN.

New York, Feb. 26.-From the word
ing of a statement issued after meetings
of the stewards of the Jockey club and
officials of the several racing ~aSsocia-
lions, the impression prevails among
racing men that the powers that gov
ern horse racing in this vicinity have
about decided to open some of the met
rOpolitan tracks the coming season.
The way is held to have been paved
for such action by a recent decision
holding oral betting not unlawful,
thereby eXempting directors of racing
associations for liability for hotting IN
this form.
Because all of the racing ~associa-
tons were not represented, no defi-
mite conclusion was announced as to
whether racing would be resumed.
That such is the intention, however,
could be inferred from the statements
made after the meeting.
In a statement issued by the stew
ards, they declared that the jockey
club only is a supervisory body, and
does not control the business policy of
any of the racing associations. 1t is
not in its province to say whether
there shall be racing, it was pointed
out, but should any of the ~associa-
ions decide to open their courses the
Jockey club controls the manner in
which such racing will be conducted.

PRESS AGENTS A L
OF THEIR SHOWS
Unusual Pianist.

Franz Rath, the delightful pianist
who is filling the American theater
these nights, is certainly an exception
to he usual run Of concert pianists, In
one respect at least-he plays to please
his audience. Too often it is the case
that the artist desires to display his
virtuosity, regardless as to the degree
of enjoyment it gives his listeners.
With Franz Rath it is very different.
He has the happy faculty of playing
numbers that appeal to both trained
and unframed music lovers. To a Sc
lect few the other day, for instance, he
played Beethoven's Sonata Appas-
sionata," n the event will be re-
membered as long as life lasts to
those who We're privileged to zeal it.
At every performance he gives two
numbers from some one of the ia
nous composers: Tschaikowsky, God
ard Brahms. Mendelssohn, Weber.
Rachmanninoff, Beethoven, Mcdowell:
and, strangest of all, he can be in
duced to satisfy the inbred American
thlrst FOR ragtime. He is said to be
the only man in America v,,o can NAV
ragtlme so that even the most no.
uantlc musician forgets his conserya-
tsnl, Is n of the crowd. A man
VINO can do this is, indeed, a miracle
worker. Franz Rath is the man.

ALL-STARS TAKE MEASURE OF
VARIATIONS IN BATTLE THAT
SETS NEW STYLE.
CONTEST THE BEST EVER
Alien, Pitching for the All-Stars, Al
lows Only Five Hits While Hender-
son Is Touched for Nine-Play Is
Fast and Snappy.

Half a dozen lucky fan sat on the
indoor track at the university gymha-
stun last night and saw the first real
game of indoor baseball that has ever
been played in Missoula. This stuff
that the defunct Garden City Indoor
Baseball league has been serving TO an
unsuspecting public i a rank lmlta-
ton. The real game is worth any
body's time and money. 1t is an ac-
ceptable substitute for the outdoor
game. The score-if your heart IS
weak don't read this for it is almost
too strange to be 3 to D.
Think of it! An indoor baseball game
without a score in two figures.
AS a result of this initial real game
the All-Stars are leading in the cham
pionship series with the Variations
The new team, composed mostly OF the
old Athletic nine, took the league
champions into camp last night after
nine innings of snappy, exciting, al
most errorless play. Allen was IN
splendid form and with perfect sup
port carried his team to victory. The
champions worked hard, but they
couldn't overcome the lead gained by
the All-Stars in the early innings of
the game.
The Marathons started out with
Henderson in the box, They seemed
to feel so confident of victory that
they didn't even use one of their reg
ular twirlers. Henderson pitched

the Merchants in their half Of the first
and second innings, the championship
c~ontenders scored a pair of runs on
Robertson's single, Aliens single and
a double by Dornblaser.
1t was in the fourth that the cham
pions first Tailed. Scribner drove out
a hit and scored on a stolen base. a
wild pitch and Peters sacrifice. Then
in the sixth they tied the tally. Hem
derson, first up, singled, stole two
bases and reached home on an error
that let Peters go to first.
The tie didn't last long, though. In
their half of the sixth, the All-Stars
sewed the game into the proverbial
sack, Peterson singled and went to
third on the error that let Burns
reach second on his drive. Then Rich
ards slammed a fast one at Rummell.
The shifty little shortstop speared the
ball with one hand and tagged Peter
son. Richards went to sccond on the
play and Burns advanced to third.
Burns tried to steal home a moment
later and was called out. It looked as
if the rally We're safely ended, but
Gleason slammed one in the nose,
scoring Richards, and went home on
Robertson's single. Allen hit safely
and Robertson crossed the pan. The
rally ended when Dornblaser was
thrown out at first.
That was the last All-Star disturb
ance, for Scribner was sent TO the
mound after this inning and BANKED

Marathons did make one last rally,
though. In the eighth TAYLOR walked,

LEAGUE IN TROUBLE
WITH SALARY LIMIT

New York. Feb. 26.-Clubowners OF
the International Baseball league are
said to be facing a serious situation
because of h enforcement of a new
salary limit of $4,000 a month for each
club, as compared with $4,000 last year.
With the exception of the Newark
club, which has signed all of its men,
the entire circuit is in difficulties be-
cause Of "holdout" players generally
demanding more salary. Only eight
Jersey City players have signed. In
Rochester the situation is such that C.
II. Chaplin, the club owner, has issued
by telegraph the ultimatum to the
players that unless they come into the
fold by next Saturday they will be
suspended for the rest of the year.
The salary limit is one fixed by the
National Association of Minor Leagues
and approved recently by the national
baseball commission.

Herman and Joe Schlossberg are the
latest acquisitions Of the Highlandcrs.
Yesterday the two batboys received a
regulation. iron-clad Glass d contract,
signed by Manager B~lankenship and
calling for a salary of two regulation
uniforms. The contract bids the young
sters report with the rest of the squad,
and guarantees transportation both
ways. Joe Schlossbcrg is the custodian
of the contract, and is mighty proud of
it, too. He carries the document with
him wherever he goes, and the mar
who tries to take it away will have to
travel fast and fight hard.
