Greyhound New
1rotting King

GOSHEN, N. Y, Aug. 15.-Maybe
old Peter Manning Q:56A) was
greater, but you'll never get the
veteran leathernecks of the har-
ness world to believe the horse
ever looked through bride who
could outstep Greyhound, aptly-
named and newly-crowed king Of
the trotting world.
For in winning the Hambleto-
MAN in straight heats at Goshen
yesterday the sleek streamlined
gray gelding proved beyond all
doubt that he is by all odds the
finest piece of trotting machinery
on earth.
It was not that he beat eight
other wonderful colts so handily
nor that he won in 2:02 and
2:02A-the fastest pair Of heats
ever reeled off by Hambletonian
winner-but rather it was the way
he did it that forever put the
stamp of class upon him.
He was off absolutely last and
far on the outside in the first
heat and yet, with that old mas
ter, Sep Palm, clucking to him,
he came around his field like a
whirlwind. took the lead at the
six furlong pole, STAYED off a
close challenge by Pedro Upton
and lilly Tonka and won by a
head.
He was even more wonderful
in the second heat. Here Warwell
Worthy stole a lead of ten lengths
on the field and a groan went up
from the stands, most Of whose
10000 pew holders had backed
Greyhound recklessly at one to
five.
But they didn't know what a
wonder horse they were backing.
Once again he set sail for a fly
ing leader and once again he cut
that leader down inch by inch,
foot by foot until he ccalared
Warwell at the head of the
stretch and came on to win by
two lengths.

the veil Of secrecy with
which Sir Georges dealings
in Boston naturally have
been concealed.
You know in the sphere Of
baseball there is an unusual
intimacy between the public
and the auditing departments.
Common Gossip
That is to say the world
knows gate receipts, the world
knows attendance figures, it
knows percentages the visiting
team takes out of town, and
that which the home club re"
tains. It knows player costs
at least it is informed Of them,
and all too frequently falsely.
But in one respect, the public
IS very negligibly informed. The
actual salary of ball players
is as personal information to
them as yours is to you. A ball
club seldom reveals the details
of its contracts with players.
You have all heard that this
player received such and such
an amount, and others so much,
but my friends, IS per cent OF
such information is unfounded,
for the simple reason that peo-
pie don't discuss such intimate
things, with the press or the
public.
So the next time some wise
guy informs you that first-base"
man Bill Wheen1s gets a certain
annual recompense, you can
stick your tongue in your cheek.
The wise guy in all probability
got it from his janitor, who
says he got it from the garbage
man who takes out Bill
Wheems' aunt's trash.
Two and Two
And after a manner, the
Boston Braves, with the con-
nivance Of our own gorgeous
George, have kept the current
deal pretty much of a mystery,
and I'll admit I'm one Of those
wise pllvs irving to put two and
two together, although I have
Mt any contacts with ninth as
sistant janitors or garbage
mems helpers.
Now, in the first place.
George Marshall isn't Ounce
enough to toss good money
after bad.
Which is to say that he
wouldn't organize any group Of
his friends and say to them:
Lets pool several thousand
dollars apiece and buy up them
Braves"
George wouldn't say that.
even if he spoke baseball lingo,
because the young man who
mangles ManhattanS knows too
well the value of a dollar and
that if as shrewd a financier
and sportsman as is Charles
Francis Adams, who is holding
the Braves bag, and I don't
mean bat bag, can't make a go

should a group Of sportSmen,
who don't happen to also be
high financiers, expect to apply

sun the athletes become nocturnal
providers, reversing their normal
mode of living, and working harm
on themselves and the game they
play.
Frank ]. Navin, president of
the Detroit Tigers expressed the
foregoing opinions on night base
ball, which three American
League club presidents will advo-
cate and seek permission to play
in 1896. Mr.. Navin denied that
night baseball was actually bene'
fitting baseball financially. He
stated emphatically that the game
was destroying young ball players,

threatening the life OF major
league baseball.
st am opposed to the princi'
nal of night baseball" said Mr..
Navin to this writer. "The game
played under the arc lights be-
comes a circus, the players be-
come actors, and in some cases,
clowns. They are performers,
not athletes. The nature OF the
game is changed completely.
The quality of the sport Is low
cred and interest dies.
PLAYERS LOSE IDENTITY
81 am not speaking without
authority. There have been
games played where OutfielderS
actually muffed the ball, and
the umpireS, unable to see the
play, ruled the runner out. In
the distance, players become
ghOstly silhouettes, losing their
identity, their personality in
the grey glare.
eve know" Mr.. Navin con-
tinued, chat baseball must
carry its personal appeal.
"The ball players compelled
to play night baseball become
providers Of the dark. They play
until late and then, changing
clothing, 60 out and have din
ner. They are not in bed until
early in the morning. They
sleep until noon time. Every
thing is changed around.
Night baseball and synthetic
double-headers are confessions
of weakness. Baseball well
played needs no aid from such
sources.
VANISHING AMERICAN?
"And now we will take up
the very vital matter Of player
supply" Mr.. Navin said in
tones of quiet emphasis.
"Ask the scouts of major
league clubs who is the vanish
ing American. You will not
be told that it is the Indian.
No indeed, it will be the young
ball player. Ask the ball play
are who have had to play night
baseball and get your answer
on the subject from the athlete.
You can't develop young ball
players in the night air that
chillS muscles and kills off any
latent ability that youngsters
might possess.
"There are not nearly enough
ball players in the open market
to supply the demands of the
major leagues" Mr.. Navin con-
tinued. Gust figure that out.
