piers along lite edge, Poe ordered to be
rowed In that direction.
he kept a sharp lookout along the
bank for rowboats or small craft OF
any sort. Several times he drew to-
ward shore, and carefully examined
the interior of boat drawn up, an
chored, or tied. But nothing seemed
to answer to the object of his search.
At length, past six O'Clock, he came
to little dock where boats were rent
ed to the public. Here he landed, and
tipped the proprietor for permission to
examine the interior of his skiffs. He
went over them carefully, and finished
with a puzzled look, having found
nothing.
Suddenly he turned to the proprietor.
and asked in faultless German for an
old rag to clean his boat with.
The man brought out some dirty
cloths, and Poe looked them over care
fully, missing nothing. Again his short,
thick eyebrows came together sharply,
and he shrugged his shoulders in dis
appointment He suddenly turned to
one corner, and picked up handful
Of neglected rags.
A throaty cry came from the old
man.
Leave those alone!" he beloved,
charging Poe.
But Poe had unwrapped one, and
was holding it before the Mortified old
eyes of the waterman. 1t was a bit of
burlap, and it was heavy and stained
black with blood.
Tell me! Where did he go?" cried
Poe, realizing the condition of affairs
from the old mans bearing. Il mean
you no harm. You got a good round
fee when the boat came back and you
saw the blood, or misjudge you. 1t is
nothing serious. You will net appear
in court. only want to find the
man."
Poe dropped the bloodstained rag,
and flashed an English sovereign, uni
versal currency among seafaring men.
The old eyes lighted.
Where did the man with the sick
boy go?" he demanded, slipping the
coin into the trembling palm, which
closed over it with a snap.
II don't know" answered the other.
But If you we're to follow this alley

BETTER RECORD
Lower S00.Foot Relay Race
Mark in Defeating
Townsend Harris.

De Witt Clinton High School i'm
proved its own schoolboy record for the
S00-foo relay race in defeating Towns
end Harris Hall High School in a dual
practice swimming meet at the College
Of the City of New York. The final
score was 81 points 70 %.
The record breaking Red and Black
four was composed of Ziliwitz, O'Sulli-
van, FitZgibbons and Pitt. The new
time of the swimmers was Pap 2-5,
which was FIVE and three-ifths seconds
faster than the mark established by
another Clinton team in 1912. How
ever, the boys will not receive credit
for the fast performance, as the Public
Schools Athletic League does not recog-
nize records unless made in champion
ship meetings. Townsend trailed By
three yards after the first relay and
was beaten by eight yards at the finish.

RACING MAY OPEN
HERE ON MAY 20
No Earlier Date Possible
Without Conflict with
Maryland Tracks.

There has been much speculation as
to the opening of the racing season IN
this state and some guesses have been
made Of the opening date, although
up 70 this time none has been de-
cded on. II has been suggested that
Belmont Park will throw open ITS
gates on May 10, but this probably is
a week too early.
The Jockey Club has no intention Of
curtailing the racing season IN Mary
land this spring and does not wish to
run in opposition. That at once makes
an opening on May Is out Of the ques-
ton. Bowie will make application for
fifteen days, beginning on April /. IL
will be followed by Hsvre de Grace on
April II, and if Bowie is granted all
that has been asked that track will be
able to squeeze in only eleven days
before the meeting Of the Maryland
Jockey Club, which has asked for the
first fifteen days in May, which brings
the season to May Is. Thus IL will be
seen that on Thursday, May 20, is the
logical opening date for the New York
tracks, and that date in all likelihood
will be decided on.
This will leave sixty-three days 70
be divided up before the Saratoga
meeting in August. With chance for
four tracks TO divide this time there is
ample opportunity for each one 10 have
fifteen days and three might be as
signed to the Piping Rock Association
at Locust Valley TO round out the
sixty-three.
W. II. Reynolds says he will apply
for racing time for the Metropolitan
Jockey Club, at Jamaica, but it is by
no means certain that after the eX-
pense Of repairing his plant he will
insist upon meeting.
Another set of dates that will play
10 part in the assignments OF the
Jockey Club were announced yesterday
when the Greater New York Fair As
ssociaton made known that il would
give running races on the Yonkers
track of the Empire City Racing Asso-
citation from August 7 to August II.
These races will be run in conflict with
the season at Saratoga, but they will
be conducted under the rule that per-

Don de Orc, the thoroughbred stall

quest of a number of farmers and
country gentlemen of that section. He
will be in the care of James Frayling,
who is in charge of the Piping Rock
stables, and his coming should be OF
vast benefit to that section.
Cecil Brabazon, the talented Irish
gentleman jockey, who has decided to

new MAJOR LEAGUE
COMING OR NOT?
Chivington Says America
Association Has Won
Fiqht-Tener Denies 1t.

Chicago. Jan. 2S.-The American As
ISOLATION has won its fight for recog-
milton as the third major league in or
gained baseball, President Chivington
said to-day The national commission
finally has scceded 20 the desires OF
the Double a" organization. he de-
elsred, and has granted it territory IN
cities now occupied by the National or
American League and large number
Of players.
Arrangements for the elevation Of
the association will be made in a shor;
time, according to Chivington. First
news of the plan came in the form Of
statement from James c. McGil, thu
Indianapolis club president, who an
nounced that the draft had been lifted
so far as the association was con
cerned.
1--WE have been trying for years TO
get these concessions from the Ma
tional Commission" said President
Chivington. Recently we made strong
overtures which were discussed at vari-
Gus times. with the result that the
major leagues will regard us as equals
eliminating the draft. granting US
territory and concedng US the right to
purchase players.
There will be more than thirty play
ers, now in the National and Amerl-
can leagues distributed among our
teams by the time the season opens.
Cincinnati. Jan. 2s.-"The lifting Of
drafts in the American Association
would automatically raise 1t TO major
league standing" said August Herr
mann, chairman of the National Com
mission here to-day. "The National
Commission. however has not taken up
the matter Of lifting the drafts in any
OF the minor leagues as yet. The mat
ter has been discussed several times
during the last year, but no action has
been taken, and do not think any will
be taken in the immediate future"
"No action has been taken in re-
gard to making the American Associa-
ton or the International League
exempt from draft" said John X.
Tener, president of the National
League, yesterday.
"The proposal that such action be
taken has been agitated for some time.
declared Tener, "but nothing definite
has been done yet. | don't know what
action the National Commission will
take. I'm not even prepared to say
just now what my own attitude in the
matter will be. As to the story that
the American Association will get
major league territory, | have never
heard any such plan discussed. ! can't
say what Mr. johnson or Mr.. Herr
mann may have said to Mr.. Chivington,
but the thing is all news to me"
Edward Barrow, president Of the In
ternational League, also expressed sur
prise when informed that Mr.. Chivng-
ton had declared that the American As
ISOLATION was to be major league.
Nobody has given me any assur-
ances as TO exempting us from draft.
said Mr.. Barrow, land, naturally, If
such action was taken in favor OF the
American Association we should expect
the same treatment. As a matter Of
fact, don't consider the exemption
from draft as very important, and am
more or less Indifferent as 10 what is
done in the matter"

R0SEVlLLE SWEEPS ALLEY
Exceeds Thousand Mark in
Defeating North End.

Roseville, the champion team of the
Athletic Bowling League. started on
what its adherents maintain is a win
ming streak, last night when on its
own alleys it made a clean sweep
against North End.
Thanks TO Negley's 24S, the home
bowlers exceeded the 1000 mark by
one pin in the first game and won by
more than a hundred pins. Through
the fact that the Roseville combination
had a twenty-pin lead in the second
game the excellent effort OF North End
TO pull the game out OF the fire was
unavailing. In the final there was
nothing 10 il but Roseyille. Jack Neg
ley's average OF 2l3 was the best in

Boston. Mass, Jan. 2s.-The Boston
Athletic Club hockey team maintained
its clean record and its lead in the
Hockey League series by beating the
New York Irsh-American Athletic Club
players by a score OF 4 TO at the
Arena here tonight. The quality of
the hockey was not Of a high stand
ard, but there was plenty Of excite
ment, caused by the roughness of the
play.
The visitors proved as aggressive
lot of players as ever have been seen
here. there being much tripping and

itors we're sent from the ice for rough
ing things, and at the close of the
match the entire New York team gath

Grath challenging him to fight an in
yItation that was not accepted.
The New York team, playing with
four, and often five men, on defence,
bothered the home team not a little.
but aside from Cree's fast work the
lrish-Americans made few well organ
ized assaults on the Boston goal.
Chadwick. the Boston net man. had
more than thirty stops, but few Of
them were hard.
Boston scored the first and third
goals and New York the second and
fourth, the home team then going
ahead with a rush and holding the
game. Cree made one Of the Irish
Americans goals on a pretty round the
cage play, while BoSton's goals were
made possible by good combination
play. with Smart and Hutchinson doing
the shooting.
The home seven. however. was of
side continually and lost many chances
20 make the game more one-sided.
