H0RsEMEN TO ORGANIZE.
Thoroughbred Owners Racing in
MARYLAND Plan to Form Union.

BALTIMORE, April 27.-A general
meeting of horsemen will be held in
the near future and the organization Of
the Maryland Thoroughbred Horse As
ISOLATION probably will be the result.
The owners assem- bled in kentucky re-
Gently and formed the Kentucky Thor
oughbred Horse Association. More
than sixty joined at the opening meet
ing, which was a big success, according
to reports from the Blue Grass state.
The articles of Incorporation will be
filed in Maryland and bylaws and a
constitution adopted. Breeders, own
ers. trainers and others closely con-
nected with the sport will be eligible
for membership. The object OF the pro-
posed Maryland association Is to do
everything possible for the improve
ment of the breed of horses, for the ele-
walton of the turf and the betterment
of the sport
From general indications no purse
worth less than $500 will be offered by
any Maryland association next fall.
1t was reported that the half-mile
track promoters at Prospect Park and
Marlboro would offer larger purses at
their meetings next month. This should
be encouraging news for the small
owners. and the tracks probably will
attract better brand of horses than
ever before. 1t may be an incentive
for n number of owners to remain in
Maryland until these meets close be-
fore going to Canada.

WOULD BOOM GOLF.
Washington Followers of Game Will
Appreciate Public Course,

The plan advocated by Col. W. w
Harris providing for improvement Of
lower Potomac Park is peculiarly inter-
esting from the standpoint of municipal
golf. In the bill recently introduced by
Representative Hubert of New York an
appropriation of $1,600.000 is asked for the
sport-loving public. Washington now DOS
sesses a three-hole course, which is kent
in as good condition as is possible with
the money allowed it from the fund for
athletics, but is scarcely adequate to the
needs of the golfers.
Nearly every city OF size in the country
makes some provision for municipal golf.
New York has three free courses. Chicago
has five, Boston two and San Francisco
two. and throughout England and Scot
land public golf is the leader. the munich
pal courses contributing largely to the
island Kingdoms best players. On Jack
son Park. the leading public course in
Chicago. the links are busy from early
morning until late evening. and it is re-
ported that more than 100000 tickets
were issued last year
In every city there are found many
people who enjoy the benefits of golf
and who cannot afford to belong to a
club. This is doubtless true in Washing
ton. AS laid out by Col. Harris, the plan
provides for an eighteen-hole course in
East Potomac Park. Some months ago a
committee. including a prominent course
architect. walked over the ground and
pronounced 1t excellently adapted for the
purpose in hand. 1t Is hoped by WASH
ington golfers that this desirable i'm
provement will be contaminated, as it
cannot but have a recreating effect upon
local golf.

Gallia Performs Well in All But

BY J. ED GRILLO.

Connie Mack's athletes proved in
yesterdays game that they are not TO
be toyed with, even though they oc-
cupy last place in the pennant race
The visitors demonstrated to the salts
faction of about $500 faithful that any
time their pitchers stand the eaff they
can win. Yesterday they did this, g.
to 2.
While it is true that the breaks ia
vored the Mackmen. Joe Bush would
in all probability have had shutout
to his credit had the playing field been
dry. 1t was on two slip-ups he MADE
in fielding swinging bunts that helped
the Griffmen to tie the score in the
seventh, when the visitors were lead
ing by two runs
Galiia pitched good enough ball to
win his game. though he got away
trife poorly and was scored on III the
very first session.
Witt started the game by hitting
safely to left. Thompson moved him
to second with sacrifice and while
Strunk was being thrown out by MOT
gan. Witt meandered over to third and
was making an effort to steal home
with Oldring at bat. when the latter
singled past third and Witt touched
the plate with the first run.
For the next five innings the visitors
did little with liallid, though thdI ohc
run doomed up bigger and bigger inning
after inning.
1t was in the seventh that the Ath-
letics obtained their second run. This
inning was started by Lajoie with a
double to left. Mc1nnis got scratch
hit to third, which moved Lajoie up, and
while Meyers was being thrown out by
Morgan Lajoie scored.
In the second half of this round the
Nationals tied the score. Rondeau
started the inning by walking and
Judge singled to center Morgan hunted
and Bush fell down trying to field the
ball and the bases were full Henry's
fly to right allowed Judge to score and
Mcbride was walked. Williams, batting
for Gallia. got a swinging bunt down
the first base line, on which Bush fell a
second time, and Morgan came home.
Bush. however, made a brilliant play by
good throw to Peck, which caught
Mcbride, who had overrun third, OF of
the bag.
1t was in the eighth when the win
ming run was presented to the visitors
Bentley, who started this inning on the
mound, walked Witt to begin with.
Walsh, batting for Thompson, sacri-
feed. and then Boehling came into the
game. He famed Strunk, but Oldring
hit a line drive to left, which seemed
easy for Rondeau. The latter, in taking
his position to catch the ball, slipped
and fell, and Oldring got credit for a
three base hit, which sent Witt home
with the tally which caused the Griff-
mems defeat. The score:

last night with the highest honors. He
won seven of eight bouts, while Lieut.

Sauer's only defeat was accomplish
ed by j. Mclaughlin of the Wash

over Sauer points to (. In this bout
Sauer's right leg was slightly cut when
McLaughlin's foil broke and punctured
the Chicagoan fencing suit. The
blade entered about quarter of an
inch of flesh. but after receiving first

tinue.
All Of Sauer's victories were recorded
in clean-cut fashion and in manner
which indicated that he would be a
prominent factor in the deciding of the
championship.
Lieut.. Dickinson was defeated by
both Sauer and Sherman Hall, while
Hall also fell before Sauer and was
beaten by Mclaughlin.
Allison earned the right to compet tie
IN the final by scoring five victories.
