PREAKNESS TO
BOOST ITS FEE
Winning Owner Of Pimlico
$4,000 Stake Will Get
so to for Subscription.

Baltimore. Jan. 29.-With the Freak
ness, Plmiico's stellar contribution to
the early Eastern racing season, the
greatest of the rivals of the famed
Kentucky Derby practically slated for
decision Thursday, May 10, there is
certain to be vast amount of activity
among horsenien of this section and
Maryland in anticipation OF this great
SIS, 900 race.
While the date of the closing of en-
tries will be in abeyance for week or
so, 1t is shown that arrangements are
making to have it and the conditions
which will govern this most valuable
event satisfactory to turfmen every
where.
1t will be remembered that last
spring the entry was so great that 1t
became obligatory for the manage
ment to split the race in two parts,
with the draw resulting happily in
the keeping apart of War Cloud and
Jack Hare, jr., the respective winners
of the first and second sections with
performances which were to all in
tents and purposes parallel.
This warranted A. X. Macomber
and w. f. Applegate in drawing
do" u SAor-oV SAlt-tb
ly. 1t is the idea of close observers
of both events and the subsequent
running of the horses mentioned
that. had both sections been made
one Jack Hare. jT., because of his
| early foot, must have had a decided
| advantage over the rest of the field
with the likelihood that he would
have won. On the other hand
War Cloud must have been COM
PEELED to race in behind his field,
and the chances are that he would
not have been returned the winner.
1t is with the idea in view to have
/ truly run race that possi-
! BILE change in the conditions may be
made. In some circles it is consid-
cred a good idea to have free en-
| try-that is no preliminary fee of
any sort-with the starting fee OF
I>S5OO. This would certainly ensure
none but these which were cpnsid-
Ecred top-notch taking part. and in
view of the fact that each owner
would be getting fifty to one for
his money in the event of a win. it
! is considered. that this scheme is
| the best that could be outlined.
| While 1t is possible to start eigh-
| teen in a race. such as the Freak
ness, which is a mile and an eighth
test and started well up the stretch.
| 1T is known that the management
, would be better pleased if a dozen
went to the post. This would war
rant each of the starters in getting
a fair "go" at the first turn and
Practically truly run race there
after.
| The distance is one which will ap-
| peal TO a majority of the turfmen of
! the East, because of the fact that
as a general proposition there is
greater chance of horse standing
up after such a race than has been
found to be the case when three
year-olds are asked to race a mile
1 and a quarter.
The Kentucky Derby has been set
| for decision at Churchill Downs,
/ May 10, and while it looks like ask
! ing a three-year-old a task out of
| the ordinary to have him race on a
| Saturday at a mile and a quarter
and again at a mile and an eighth
/ the succeeding Thursday. it is not
without the bounds of possibility
that such may happen.

be glad to welcome him home when
he Is released from the army. Mike
will round out the outfield problem
for the National pilot. for he can

Miss Bleibtrey Wins
500 Yard Swim
At Brighton Beach

Miss Ethelda Bleibtrey, the sixteen
year-old marvel of the water, repre-
senting the New York Women's Swim
ming Association, added to her laurels
last night by winning the womens ma
tlonal swimming championship at 500
yards, In the Winter Pool, at Brighton
Beach
The young girls time for the dis
lance was 7:40 Is, and she engaged in
desperate duel all the way to the
finish with Miss Tessie Rita Ryan, of
Philadelphia, and Miss Charlotte
Boyle, of this city, before she was able
to claim the honors.
Not more than three feet separated
the girls at any time during the race,
the final result being IN doubt until
the finish. Miss Boyle led all the way
until fifty yards from home, but then
she began to weaken, and Miss Bleib-
trey and Miss Ryan fought hard for
the lead.
The New York girl thrashed through
the last few yards at a dizzy pace
beating out Miss Ryan by about eigh-
teen inches. Miss Isabel Grandfell
unattached, also started, but the fast
clip set by the three leaders compelled
her to drop out early in the struggle
Clarence Ross, Of this city, won the
fifty yards open race for men, leading
home j. II. Burrell, of the Central Y
NJ c. A, of Brooklyn, and H. Smith, OF
Poly Prep, over the course after q
gruelling race. Ross's time for the
distance was 28 2-5 seconds, excellent

Fight Came Fails to
Recover From Blow
Landed by Whitman

The fight game failed to recover
from the solar pleNus blow which was
landed on it by Ex-Governor Whitman.
The Willard Dempsey fight will go to
Pocatello, to Cumberland or to Hades
as far as the New Yorker with a small
bankrol is concerned. Splashes were
heard on both banks of the East River
last night as promoters who had Sc
cured options on leases for fight clubs
hit the water for the last time.
High up in Madison Square Garden
tower Jimmie Johnston. the Boy Ban
di. fight promoter, held vigil until a
late hour. One of his sharply pointed
ears was trained in the direction Of
1t is agonizing work for James to
listen.
Below the tower waited John the
Barber, Lew Raymond, the Mcmahon
Brothers. Sammy Goldner and John
Pythagoras Dunn.
"Do you hear anything, Brother
James ?" cried Johnny Dunn every now
and then.
Not whisper" replied the Roy
Bandit. II don't even hear Marty MIC
Cue addressing the chair"
Around the base of the tower the
careless throngs passed by laughing
boys and the "gobs" hurried by with
their "gois." But at the foot of the
winding stairway the fight promoters
waited. while high above them the BOY
Bandit maintained his agonizing
silence
"po you see anything. Brother
James, moatcd Johnny Dunn.
~ sec u cloud of dust" replied the
Il Bandit, at looks like our finish"
The shades of night dccpcncd as the
watcher in the tower remained. But
no signal was flashed from the north
At press time the Boy Bandit was still
gloom was etched into the speaking
features of the group at the foot of
the tower 1t was all off with the fight
game.
Mike Plestina, the Jugo- Slav, is still
