Billy Smith, of the Crackers, cover
the player up. Smith wanted Sweeney
back with his team and hoped that none
of the big league managers would learn
his value and that -rifiith would be able
to hand him back when official waivers
were granted by the other American
League organization
When he was sent to New York
neither Griffith nor Smith thought he
would make good.
Chicago wouldn't Waive.
Sweeney was held on the reserve list
of the Yankee club for some months and
Griff then decided to turn him back
without even so much as a trial. No diff
ficulty in getting waivers was expected
when the news came that Chicago
wouldn't waive on the big boy and Griff
was forced to hold him, not wishing to
turn him over for the waiver price. This
forced him to give Sweeney a trial and
all know the result.
The year before Sweeney came to At
lanta he was given a tryout by Fielder
Jones, then manager Of the White Sox.
Sweeney went to the grounds one after
noon and was given SO little attention
he refused to go back. Chicago is his
home town and there he was anxious
to play, but the refusal to give him a
tryout made him go to Atlanta, where
he aided in winning a pennant
Sweeney is q giant, standing six feet
one inch in his socks. and weighs about
200 pounds this spring. He was born in
Chicago July 10, 1883. His father is q

partment and also q big contractor. He
built q s15. 200 garage and set Ed and his
other brother, Gene, in the taxicab busi-
ness.
Sweeney doesn't have to play baseball
for a living. but says he is 30 fond Of
the game that he will be playing 1t when
he reaches the DR.. Osler mark.
The big fellows primary lessons In
baseball were taught to him in the semi

he went to the Yankees, as has been told.
Last spring Sweeney was holdout
and didn't make terms with the Yam

Whatever the salary difference was II
was patched up SO well that he was
eager to report this spring and hopes to
be in active service all season.

PREDICT BIG MEET
AT MARLBORO TRACK
Billy Garth's Fine String Of Jumpers
will Compete-Tyree's
Horses Entered.

Marlboro, Md, March 21-As the time
draws near for the opening Of the spring
fair and races at the Southern Maryland
fair grounds, the association has every
cause to anticipate the very best fair and
race meeting that has been held to date
over the pretty half-mile track in Prince
George County. Late advices from
Charleston indicate that most OF the bone
winners. will be on hand when the bugIe
blows at Marlboro.
Representatives of the Southern Mary
land Association at the South Carolina
track write that they have booked more
than ten carloads for the Marlboro meet
ing and among them will be the most
useful horses that have been parading
this winter. From Benning a strong
delegation will be sent each day to Marl-
boro, every stable at the Washington
course. with the possible exception Of
the Belmonts. will have representatives
at the Southern Maryland track.
Billy Garth, who has more jumpers in
his stable this year than ever, will pat
ronize the cross-country events. which
will be decided over what is now one of
the finest cross-country courses in the
South.
The jumping course has lately been
thoroughly overhauled, rolled, and tamp-
ed, and being as it is. through a beauti-
full field, with a background setting with
hills and trees, and being one and three
quarter miles over the whole course,
once around. the events are the most
enjoyable in the State.
DR.. Tyree. the Washington chemist,
visited the course last Sunday and Sc
lected quarters in barn A for his formid
able string. which, under the able tu-
forage of that veteran Scot. BILLY" Oil
yer. should take down many a purse.
William Murray, who will handle the
more interest in Marlboro is manifest
than ever shown before. Murray, who
officiated at Laurel the opening year, has
never yet failed to give satisfaction.

Big Ed Sweeney, the Yankees famous
catcher, today is rated the greatest back
stop in the game by no less an expert
than his own boss, Manager Frank
Chance. And that Chance should know
granted, for he has been the boss of
Johnny King and Jimmy Archer, than
whom there were no better catchers.
Chance has maintained for seasons
that Archer was the best backAtop in the
game, but he is now compelled to hand
the crown to Sweeney, Chance has
watched big Ed in training at the Yam
KEGS Bermuda camp and says he Is
amazed at the manner in which the
catcher throws to bases.
Sweeney is the greatest throwing
catcher I have ever seen." said Chance.
He Just squats and chucks to the bases
like a rifle bullet, picking off his men
with the greatest ease. You would think
the runners were standing still, so sud
denly does the ball get from the catcher
to the second baseman.
,'I ought to know something about
catchers with all the experience have
had, and am willing to say right now
that Sweeney is the greatest catcher in
the game"
The acquisition of Sweeney by the
Yankees was more or less of an acci-
dent. and that the New York Club re-
tanned him shows in just what luck that
club was running at the time.
He came to New York from Atlanta.

fYoverSv

ted to arbitration.
The Journal says: 1T Is an untenable
proposition that the New York Yacht
Club is the only body capable Of inter-
preting the deed Of gift
New York. March 27-Yachtsmen here
we're surprised last night when shown a
copy Of the cable message from Lon
don. The idea of submitting the deed Of
gift to arbitration seemed to strike them
as joke. Only q few wene disposed to
take the suggestion with seriousness.
why" said an officer Of tho New York
Yacht Club. there Is nothing to arbitrate
nothing to interpret. There Is nothing
ambiguous about the deed Of gift. 1t Is
perfectly simple, perfectly plain. A child
club are obliged to guard II, as any trus-
tee would guard a trust fund Of money
or an estate and administer II for the
best interests Of the beneficiary. The
deed Of gift has been good enough to
race under in former years and 10 good
enough now. It Is liberal In its terms
and easy Of Interpretation. There 10 ab-
solutely no reason for arbitration"
Another oficial Of the club, who Is
thoroughly familiar with both local and
international racing. said:
Il am quite certain that those persons
who talk Of arbitration are not familiar
with the terms Of the deed Of gift I
have lived over there and I know how
easily they jump at conclusions. for the
reason that they don't study even their
own club records
THE deed of gift cannot be arbitrated.
The men who framed 1t are dead and We
are charged with the solemn duty of
guarding 1t to the best Of our ability.
The deed is an absolutely fair one. 1t
was altered some years ago so that the
challenger would have to sail against
one vessel only, instead of against q
fleet, as the old America did. II q for
eign club wins the cup from us-as I
have no doubt will come to pass some
day-the same deed will govern the next
race for It. and you may be sure no fault
will be found with 1t then.

lenger who has found fault with it, and
