fum | 10 M. E. Sturges
for $45, 900, 'Tis Said
STALLION RANKS WITH
BEST OF ALL TIME

Directum 1 Q.5S), the worlds
champion PAGER and one of the most
sensational harness horses ever de-
veloped, was sold yesterday,by James
Butler to M. e. Sturges, of New. York.
The price was private, but it was said
to be $4,000, the same amount NJ W.
Savage, of Minneapolis, paid several
years ago for Dan Patch.
After closing the deal yesterday Mr..
Sturges insured the horse for $S5,O00.
Directum l will be shipped from the
J. c. Mccoy track at Kirkwood today
to Poughkeepsie, n. Y, to join the
training stable of Thomas w. Murphy,
the famous Grand Circuit driver, who
will prepare him for racing and exhi-
bition purposes next season.
One of the engagements arranged
for the horse is a trip to California, to
be shown at the Panama-Pacific Expo
sition trotting meeting next June, and
perhaps also at the November meet
ing.

champion pacing stallion and the
fastest harness performer, but also

FOR STRICTER rule
ON delaware PILOTS

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Feb. 3-More
stringent regulations than have been
in effect in the past will govern Penn
sylvania pilots if the Legislature takes
cognizance of the resolutions adopted
yesterday by the Commissioners Of
Navigation. One of the resolutions
asks the state to invest additional
powers in the board of commissioners.
Two others provide that if pilot is
physically disqualified or unat for
duty his license shall be revoked or
suspended, and if a pilot placed aboard
an inward-bound vessel is found to oe
in such physical condition that his
services are impaired, the master of
the pilots boat shall provide another
pilot for the vessel. The resolutions
are the outcome of the complaint made
10 the commissioners by Captain
Knapp of the battleship Connecticut.
The captain charged that a pilot plac-
ed on his vessel recently was physical
ly unfit for duty.

FIVE LEAGUES
SHOW LOSSES

A Chicago dopster has estimated
that the total losses OF hve leagues
the past year have been close to ST.
25O.00o. He figures that some clubs
in the National and American Leagues
made money. three in the Federal
had a substantial balance on the profit
side, three in the American Associ-
alton finished ahead, and not one in
the International League but showed
a loss. According TO the writer's
figuring. although he does not give
any authority on which to base his
statements. the net gain in the
American League shows S115.000 to
the good The net loss of the Fed
cral League was $4,000, while that
OF the American Association was $780,
600 and of the International close to
S15O,000 Three clubs alone In the
International lost 100000. The big
gcst loser in the American League
was Cleveland, with $4,000, and the
biggest winner was Boston with S75.-
600. In tho National League. Pitts
hurgh makes the worst exhibit, with
a deficit of 100000, while the Giants
topped the heap with s120,O0O ahead.
Brooklyn was the financial tragedy
in the Federal, with loss of 100000,
while Chicago confesses to gain Of
$4,000 In the International League,
Baltimore lost $4,000. and Il is as
serted that indianapolis, in the Amer
lean Association, made an equally
poor showing.

Cubs S50,O00 The Cubs pdd a divi-
dend Of only per cent, according to
reports. on its capital stock of 100000.
but the remainder was credited to the
surplus account
Il was the Boston Braves that saved
the National League. Up to the time
OF the phenomenal spurt OF the Stall
ings men the lBoston club was in the
hole $4,000, but from that time on Il
compared favorably with the United
States mint. New York and Chicago

The New York Yankees, with a cheal
team. did not suffer as much as many
believed. being only $4,000 to the baf
al the finish.
The Athletics finished near the bot
tom OF the financial leader. They were
credited with loss of $4,000 for Che
season. but the $4,000 received in the
worlds series gave them a balance oil

NEW YORK, Feb. Mike Gibbons,
the phantom-like boxer of ST. Paul is
the best middleweight in the business.
Despite howls to the contrary from

pion the fans have seen since the death
of Stanley Ketchel He doesn't stand
head and shoulders above his contem-

Before the GibbOns-Clabby battle
at Milwaukee several weeks ago, the
Hammond boxer was considered about
the cream of his division He had a
belt emblematic of the middleweight
championship given him by Uncle
Tom McCarey in San Francisco after
he had beaten George Chip in twenty
rounds.
But Clabby failed to show cham
pionship class in his battle with Glib

so clearly outfought him in ten that
it's a safe bet he could also do so in

Two men remain to be disposed OF
before Miles claim to the crown is
to be absolutely unquestioned. They
are Eddie McGoorty, the Oshkosh bear
and Jack Dillon.
Dillon hasn't been doing much bus
