Nobody ever said that the stands
were handsome, but they were strong
enough to stand and could hold 1000
persons in discomfort. The luck of
the promoters held. From its invest

Thoroushbreds for Racing Purposes
Are in Greatly Increasing Demand

Lexington, KY. Feb. 14.-Thor-
oughbred horses for racing purposes
are increasing demand. There is
scarcely a day passing now without
the coming to Lexington of some scout
for good material for contests on the
fiat and across country, and the let
tiers of inquiry that come to the own
CTS and trainers here are correspond
pears to be precious few horses of
really good quality Thai are for sale.
The present owners seem to be in
clined to take d chance on training
and racing them. with a view to
greater gain, rather than to let them
go at figures hat a half dozen years
ago would have been considered en-
ormous. Among those who were here
during the week and critically inspect
cd a number of the two-year-olds and
three-year-olds al the Kentucky AS
sociation course were Packey Ryan of
Chicago; Red Freeman. Of New
York. and A. Meyer of New York.
Ryan is anxious to get back into the
racing game as an owner, and came
here from Charleston to see If he
might not pick up two or three SER
riceable horses. but the prices stag
gered him. Freeman is nov employ
ed by Alan Pinkerton, and he got
prices on several horses. Meyer was
looking for prospective jumpers. They
are very scarce.
The general health of the horses
at the Kentucky association course is
good. The number now in training
is approximately 200. with new ones
coming in every day or so from the
farms. where they have been running
out all winter. The winter has been
far from severe and the horses are in

NICK YOUNG, FOR YEARS
MAJOR LEAGUE MACNATE,
IS LOSING HIS SIGHT

Nicholas L. Young of Washington,
who was president of the National
league for Is years, has seen his last
baseball game, says William Peet,
sporting editor Of the Washington
Herald.
Uncle Nick as ne is Familiarity
known, has been in poor health for
Gus ailments attendant upon old age
sight.
This grand old gentleman. since his
retirement from baseball in 1902, has
always taken a keen interest in the
national sport. He Was d familiar Is
ure at the Florida avenu park every
pleasant day the Griftmen played at
home, and no more appreciative fan
ever passed through the turnstiles.
Blindness has now stolen from
Uncle Nick" Young one Of his chief
enjoyments, for he loved to watch a
sight and reputation, and was often
appealed to by fans to explain some
intricate play or talk about the sport
when the oldtimers held forth.
Uncle Nick's son, Robert H. Young,
in discussing the illness, said: I'VE
ail fear that fathers latest arfliction,
the loss Of his eyesight, will hasten
the end. for he tool UGH Il healthy
interest IN baseball and the games
/ played by the Nationals, that it kept
him young, both in body and spirit.
Now tina he will he unable to go to
the park, | shudder TO think what will
happen
Nick Young is beloved by hundreds
of oldtime ball players. He guided
the destinies of the National league
for 1s years, from 1885 to 1902. both
Inclusive. He had acted as secretary
since the organization of the league.
and we'll deserved the promotion. He
was known alike both for the integrity
of his character, the geniality Of his
disposition and the marked industry
and pe%rservering application in the
discharge OF his official duties.
After serving the league faithfully
through all it's vicissitudes and chang
es. and there were many, including
three mighty wars. Uncle Nick. as he
was and still is affectionately termed,
laid down the reins at the close Of the
season of 1902, which saw the end Of
the American league war. the fercest
encountered by the old baseball body.
He also was placed on the honor list
of the league.
Mr.. Young's general health at pres
ent is fairly good, but the loss Of sight
is preying upon his mind. and mental
trouble in some of it's many complex
forms is feared by his family.
