Since exactly half Of the
States in the union have legal
lied the sport, perhaps the op-
posite arguments are a stand-off.
Rather craftily has been
builded the current campaign to
reestablish racing for Washing
ton, every loophole that could be
used to discourage it having been
plugged, it would appear.
The business angle taken care
Of. the crime argument offset,
smaller objections are obviated,
one by a promise that racing
will not be scheduled here during
the home stay of the ball club.
Neither viii racing me conducted
on Sundays or at night time.
Furthermore, two charity days
q year are proposed.
And far-seeing, indeed, was
the prediction of DR.. Arthur
Hooe, that If Washington doesn't
legalize horse racing, it will be
merely a matter Of time until
Virginia does with a track
springing UP directly across the
Potomac from Washington.
Then, indeed, would all hopes
for q track here vanish, as well
&s the revenue so sorely needed.

d MAGGIE GIVEN
THREE DAYS TO
SIGN CONTRACT
BY DAVIS J. WALSH

NN--~-A@
NEW YORK, March 20 Q.N.S0.
To the shrill treble of Col. Jacob
Rupert, quavering Indignantly in
the direction Of Joe Di Maggie
the man who won't take the $685.
0O0-was added today the basso Of
Business Manager E. G. Barrow,
making a malignant duet. Our
man Barrow doesn't own the ball
club; only a cold and implacable
heart.
Almost literally, he gave Giu-
seppe three days in which to sign
a contract with the New York
Yankees at $25, 900 or lay himself
open to the possibility Of a re-
duced rate for the season. In
three days, the Yankees break
camp and go into Tallahassee for
the first of II exhibition games
en- route North, at so much per
exhibit.
HARD-BOILED TACTICS
"The $4,000 was offered Di-
Maggie on the basis Of our
guarantees in various towns"
said Barrow, badly. my ad-
vice to him is that he's being
badly advised if he thinks the
colonel is going to hold his offer
out indefinitely. # Di Maggie
isn't with the tour, somebody
will have to pay for it. AND
darkly-"it won't be U.s."
1t is evident from this, apd other
things, that the Yankees are de
termined to pursue the same tao
tics with Di Maggie that they EN-
ployed with Pitcher Red Rutfne
last year, the latter finally sign
ing in early May at a salary
$500 below his asking price
They graciously kicked the money
back at the end Of the year. when
the Yanks won the pennant by Il
games and Red himself won 20
DI MAG ON spot"
It's quite clear that they mean
to make what is known as an ex.
ample Of Giuseppe, who as a
second-year man they inferentially
accuse Of going far beyond him
self in refusing $4,000 for the
season. They argue that each
year he has received substantial
tits from $500 to $4,000 to
SIS, 900 and that the fellow simply
should know his place.
Personally, I'd say that nobody
knows it better. His place, in my
book and album, is among the
great outfielders Of all time and
I don't care whether he's been two
years in the league or two months.
I also don't care what he may be
worth in 1910. It's q question OF
what he's worth now as an able
bodied, sincere and extremely deft
workman and you have the ex-
cellent case Of Paul Dean in sup
port of the argument that, IN
baseball, you must sell yourself
strictly Eat the market" or you
may shortly wind up holding
hands with q watchman'S time

WORRIES NAT S.

WINTER HAVEN, Fla, March
29.-Maybe it is the dead ball" Of
the National League. Perhaps it
is just one Of those spring-time
scoring Slumps. Perchance it is
something wholly unaccountable,
but the sorry fact remains that
the Griffs have not scored a run
against major league competition
for 18 consecutive innings. Fol-
lowing their defeat by the Boston
Braves on Sunday, they were
BANKED by the Cincinanti Reds
yesterday. 1t was their second
licking by the Reds.
1t may, be that the Griffs will
storm back into winning stride to-
day when they tackle the Colum-
bus Red Birds here. The boys have
won the name of the "scourge Of

Back in 1887, at Sacramento,
Calf, Big Ed Dudley, Augusta,
Ga, pro, ratified off. 273 for a

record for regulation course and,
for the reason that Starmount is

If Snead is anywhere near
through he did not show any signs
Of 1t here today when he topped
one Of the finest fields to ever

The Varied Angles

Here is what horse racing for
Washington, with a plant oper-
ating 81 days or less at Ben
ming, will accomplish:
Unemployment here will be
relieved both during the cree
ton of the track and during its
operation.
Revenue will be derived for
the District Golfers, possibly as
much as 100000 a year, now
being diverted to Maryland'S
exchecquer.
In time a 100000 Presidential
Cup race will be undertaken
which will compare with the
Kentucky Derby, Santa Anita
Handicap, Belmont and Freak
ness for drawing throngs to
Washington.
Such are some of the goodies
we are told will accrue to Wash
ington and they must have their
appeal both to the cold econo-
mists as we'll as the Sportsmen
and sportswomen who genuinely
are fond Of racing.
It occurs to me two pretty
formidable hurdles were nego-
tiated when testimony was
brought out to the effect that
business interests are for racing
and that the public morals are
not at stake.
Had the Answers
Those issues have been the
bug-a-boos which heretofore
have curbed racing proposals
for Washington. and the pro-
ponents this time come into
court with the right answers.
One of their enterprising num-
Der, Mr.. William C. Murphy,
who with District Democratic
Committee Chairman Malcolm
S. McConihe has obtained an
option on Benning, pursued a
bit Of research work on crime
attendant to horse racing.
Digging into the sere and vel
lowed pages of the Metropolitan
Police Department for 1908,
Murphy ups with the informa-
ton that there was far less
crime in Washington during the
three years previous to the clos
ing of Benning in 1908 than
during the ensuing three years.
1t remains to be seen how the
racing antagonists will counter
this thrust, considered by stu
dents Of track legislation to be
significant and conclusive.
Then comes counsel for the
Federation Of Business Mems
Associations, one John Paul
Jones, a fighting name if you
ask me, who brought with him
the blessing of II units of his
group-in behalf of racing and
pari-mutuel wagering.
According to lawyer Jones
Washington marts do not hold
racing in any particular horror.
There are widely divergent
opinions throughout the country
as to what racing does to COM
merce and trade. On the one
hand you hear that it keeps the
immediate communities broke
and on the other that it keeps
money in circulation.
