ENORMOUS BETS WON
ON ENGLISH DERBY

New York. Feb. 1S-The sums which
modern plungers are said to win on turf
events sink into modesty when compared
with some winnings which have been
gathered in by bettors on the English
Derby Sir Joseph Hawley on three oc-
casions won from $50, 900 to $3oo. 900. viz.
on Teddington, in 1851; Musjid. in 1853. and
Beadsman, in 1858.
Mr.. Morry won sS5o.ooo with his famous
horse Thormanby. The half length by
which the irish colt Barbarian was beaten
by Daniel O'Roorke in 1852 made a differ
ence Of $4,000 to Davis, a bookmaker.
He lost $3.50, 900 on the EPSON week when
West Australian won the Derby. The
largest amount that was ever laid on one
horse was by Mr. Jacques. This was on
Mildrew. which was backed to win 81 $50
900 in the Derby won by Voltiguer.

SUNDAY
BALL FOR AMATEURS

Boston. Mass, Feb. &.-Maj. Henry
Lee Hgginson appeared before a legis-
lative committee in this city and advo-
Gated a bill which would permit the
playing of amateur baseball on Sunday.
Several members Of the legislature also
indorsed the bill and representatives OF
the Lords Day League of New Eng
land appeared in opposition. Mai. Hig-
ginson argued that the game would keep
boys out of mischief and give them
healthful exercise.
TT Is absurd" he said, "to interfere
with any reasonable amusement on SUM-
day. To prohibit boys playing baseball
games on Sunday afternoon, believe. is
to interfere with their personal liberty"

Liberty Issue.

Especial to The Times Dispatch
RALEIGH. n. c.. October 16.-In a
thrilling peroration on Federal Liberty
bonds. beautifully woven into an ad
dress opening the fifty-seventh annual
State fair. Governor Beckett urged
the liberal purchase of these bonds by
the farmers OF the State. Bread, ba-
con. butter, milk and bonds" was the
theme OF the address.
The Governor told his audience that
he would be criminally ncglectful of
the pleasure and profit OF the people il
he failed to call their attention to the
most attractive and most important
exhibit at this fair. A Federal Liberty
loan bond" he said. will add to the
glory of youth and to the grandeur
of age. In 1t, you can hear a cannon
roar to save a little child. and see
100000 men leap forward to die that
Others may truly live. 1t is preferred
stock in the gem Of the ocean. it is
star-dust from old glory; it Is the soul
OF the red. white and blue; it is the
happiness OF all lands: the safety of
all seas; the fadeless glory of all skies.
Buy United States Liberty bond and
live forever in your own esteem and
in the love and gratitude Of world
you helped to save"
