13 ROCHESTER DEMOCRAT AND CHRONICLE, THURSDAY. JANUARY 24, 1901. RAILROADS. ing. Mr.

Mack denied the story from Baltimore that McGraw had Invested anv moner ANOTHER PAIR OF RAN LAUGHS AT THE pin, president of the Flower City Driving Club, of a new pacer whose Identity he had determined to keep a secret. A writer for ANOTHER BIG GAIN IN THE MEMBERSHIP to make matches which will not last long. Such pictures could be worked In between acts of legitimate shows and would be much In demand. McGovern will certainly be one of the principals and Fltzsimmons another. If anybody can get t-e Australian to fight again Dan Is the man.

It is widely known that he backed Fita when he beat Corbett and would do It again. Just why he has given orders to have the new arena put under cover no one seems to know. In some quarters it is thought that he is planning to establish a sort of Monte Carlo and the building will be used between fights for gambling purposes. If the lottery is made a go the drawings will be held there; that Is a certainty. Before the lottery can be established It wll! have to be voted upon by the people, and In my Judgment It will receive a majority vote.

It was voted down some years ago, but sentiment has changed since then. Mr. Stuart proposes to contribute fM.OOO annually to the fund for the reclamation of arid lands. The people have been trying to get money appropriated for this purpose, but never have succeeded. Now that Mr.

Stuart has come forward with his proposition, which may be the means of converting a big part of Nevada into a garden, It la being very favorably received. The people are not considering the means whereby alt this is gotng to be accomplished, but merely the ends." McCOY MAY GO ABROAD. In the club. BASEBALL AT SODUS. Next Season's Team Expected to be a Strong One.

Sodus, Jan. 23. The members of the Sodus Baseball Association are making preparations for next season's team. Last year the team was not as successful as usual, owing to a combination of circumstances. Several games were lost through bard luck, but other defeats were due to rank playing.

The usual number of victories did not materialize, and some of the weak-hearted supporters of the team wltlfdrew their support. Then Cat-tieu's pitching arm went back on him, the teau. leaving the field early. It has been understood that some of last year's team would like to retire from the gamj, being discouraged, but Influences will be brought to bear to start the team off In April la better shape than It Over began a season. Cattieu's arm Is all right now, and it will probably give it the care needed.

Hulett is ready to go behind the bat. He has been the regular catcher for more than a dozen years. Messinger will be found at third base and Yeomans at first. Keeley will be the short stop, la all probability, and lo-Ville will likely cover second base. Gurnee and Shears will be two of the three outfielders.

The third one is a problem. This fills the team with the exception of one position. Joe Harris, the former State League player, whose home is In Ontario, will play with Sodus unless he goes West, where he played last season. Tbe election of club effioers will be held In a few days. It Is believed that the same officials nill be re-elected.

There Is a rumor that new grounds will have to be secured, as parties are negotiating for the present ground to divide It into building lots. There Is talk of a stock company to buy a park and keep it In proper condition. A series of entertainments Is suggested to raise the money, or a part of It. to make the investment. The 'Williamson baseball team will soon be organized, nnd a friendly rivalry Is expected.

The trolley road will make It very convenient for the crauks In the two towns to witness the games. A series of games will also be arranged between Sodus and Webster. Baseball Notes. Slanaser Frank Selee gives out the Information that Boston has signed a new pitcher in the person It. It.

Lawson. the crack college pitcher of the South. Last spring Lawson was with the V. of N. C.

team and had no trouble In shutting out Cornell when It visited Chapel hill. Hughey Jennings was favorably impressed with the young man and pronouueed him a fine all-around played. Last summer Lawson plaj-eii a short time wita the. Orange Athletic Club and made good. This winter I.nwson is at school in the South.

Boston Globe. In the language of the bleachers an "awful holler" has cone up over the rteal made between the New York and Chicago clubs last week. Fans Insist the orphans got all the worst of the trade when Gnnzel. a good tirxt baseman who was getting better every day; Garvin, acknowledged a crack pitcher, and Strang, a promising Infielder, who made cod during his brief trial, were traded for Iioyle, a player who. while he i a gooi nmu, scarcely will improve with time.

Pre1.1ent Hart, of the Chicago club, has been absent from the city since the trade was made and everybody wondered what explanation he would ofi'er on his return. He had it rcmlr and It was short. He said: "I would trade six men, if 1 had them, for one if I thouaht he was the right man for the team." Chicago Journal. "NEED THE GENESEE." So Says a Chicago Yachtsman in Discus-sing Coming Cup Races. Chicago yachtsmen are fearful that the Canada's cup may be lifted by the Canadian challenger.

i There Is only one cup defender In sight In the Windy City, and there Is no telling how fast she will prove. The Chicago Times-Herald has the following in a recent Issue: Unless Chicago yachtsmen wake up enough to take an active interest In the matter, and provide more than the one cup defender now In sight, we may as well hand the Canada's trophy lack to the Canadians without the formality of a race at all," said E. C. Berrlman last night. As things stand at present," he continued, there is just one yacht that will be ready to meet the challengers in August, and that Is the ryncheon Inxit.

now bulldiug at Lawley's works la Boston. 4 The Canadians have th advantage of us In every way. They have a number of yachts to use as trial horses, and they know just how much slower or faster these boats are than the Genesee. And they will tune them up and make them faster than ever. We have no boat whatever which will answer the purpose of a trial horse.

We need the Genesee In Chicago, and If we don't get more than one boat for the trial races we will be beaten without any question." LEA TO COACH PRINCETON. Former Princeton Football Star is True to His Alma Mater. Langdon Lea, known to the football world as "Biffy" Lea, of Princeton, will couch the footbt.U team of his alma mater next year, said yesterday's New York World. To do this ho sacrifices a position worth SLGuu, and he is not a rich man. Lea coached the team of the University of Michigan last year and showed a knowledge of the game and an ability to Impart his knowledge to those under him that ranks him as one of the greatest coaches In the country.

Princeton, as was seen by her defeats of last season, sorely needs a master hand at the helm. She appealed to the greatest coach among her alumni and he responded by refusing to coach Michigan at $4,000 a year, and accepted the position as Princeton's graduate coach. As a player Lea was la the front rank. He was one of the Tiger stars when they won the championship in 103, and captained the team in 1S5. He learned the game while playing by the side of such stars as Rhodes, Itiggs, Poe, Cochrane and Church.

Left tackle was his position, and he filled it for four years in a way that put him on the All-A in erica a teams. ATHERTON CHALLENGED. Eastern "Unknown" Wants a Match With the Cuba Wrestler.

N. T. IentrAIiJ HEAVIES MATCHED Sharkey and Maher to Clash in a Twenty-Round I3out. TO MEET IN LOUISVILLE Bout to Take Place In the Big Morse Show liuilding Within a Few Weeks Both Alen Anxious to Make the Match. Louisville, Jan.

23. The biggest pugilistic contest Louisville has ever had was arranged yesterday by tho Louisville Athletic Club when It matched Tom Sharkey and Peter Maher to meet here In a twenty-round contest the latter part of February. The arrangements with Sharkey were made this morning, but It was necessary to secure Maher's consent before an announcement could be made. The bout will be for twenty rounds, and will take place in the horse show building, the scene of the McGovern-Bern-sreln bout. The Louisville Athletic Club Is a new organization composed of responsible men.

They promise to pull off the match In good style. Shnrkey and Maher will be the first top-notch heavyweights who ever met here. Both are among the best la the world of fisti-aua and will undoubtedly put up a great contest. Sharkey has gone to Hot Springs and will begin work at once for the contest. Maher will be in prime condition.

They will meet at catchwelghts. Sharkey is looking fit to tackle anything from a steam pile-driver to Jim Jeffries, and seems supremely anxious to meet anybody with the price and the courage. The fighters thought that Louisville would attract larger crowds than San Francisco because of its central location to all of the large cities of the North, East and South and part of the West. The men will fight for a percentage of the gate receipts, with a scale of prices from to flO. The horse show building scats 14.000 persons.

All the changes In the big pavilion will be made Iu accordance with tne champion cwa wishes. Jeff's mornings will be devoted to rond work. Like the bills of tiie circus, Jeff training Itinerary Is tubjert to change tth-out notice. Before breakfast he n'd take a half hour's whirl with th wrist iuaciri.es. then there will be a period of lounging e-tween coffee and the road.

In the afternoon Bob Aruis'rong i.nd Jack Jeffries earn their keep. They will as a starter spar four lively roiitid with champion, but before the training d.ivs t-rd the total will be run op to a dozen round. These set-tos are not exchanges of love taps but are "hot stuff" from start to Champion Jeff InsUts that the bouts be private and during these gloved sessions the sign "No Admittance" Is uuag out.

Every Indication That He Intends to Revive Boxing in Nevada. Chicago, Jan.

23. It can no longer be doubted that Dan Stuart intends to start the fists to flying In Nevada once more. When word came that the noted manager was on his way to the Sagebrush state to make his plans for a fistic campaign and to establish a lottery, many thought that the lottery waa the thing that was engrossing his attention most. A sportsman who was with the Texan ail through the Corbett-Fltzslmmons affair, stated at the time that If anyone believed that Mr. Stuart Intended to start up fighting again In Nevada, then he must believe that Mr.

Stuart was out of his head. But since that conversation there has been a change in the tide, and everything now looks like fight. A newspaper man who came down from Carson yesterday stated that he saw tbe contract which Mr. Stuart made for the construction of an arena which will seat 10.000 people. It la to be a covered building, which the other arena was not, and will be built only a block away from where Corbett and Fltzsimmons fought their memorable battle.

The new building will be Just this much nearer the city of Carson. In speaking of Mr. Stuart's late visit to Nevada, the newspaper man said: Stuart means business and Is going ahead and hold some big fights up there. Just before I left I read the contract for tha building of the arena which is to be finished about May 1st. At first we thought that he came there to look over the lay of the laud for a lottery and was talking fight merely as a subterfuge, but opinion Is changed now.

If you want to see tbe best men iu the world meet lu finish fights you will have to come to Nevada to see them. Mr. Stuart assured us that he would bring the very best taleu: In the country. From what I could learn he does not expect to have record-breaking crowds. If he breaks even on the show he will be satisfied: where he expect to make his money la In the pictures.

I have been told that he cleared a cold 1100.000 on the Corbett-Fitzslmmons pictures, which were exhibited all over the world. It will be his aim NEW ASSOCIATION Seems to Look L'pon the Org.niza-S tion aseball Joke, prospechngIn boston LMKue President and HU Ap-e Lieutenant, C. W. Somers, Claim wave Everything Com-log Their Way at the Hub. tw.idcnt Ban Johnson, of the American Charles W.

Somers, viee-presi- Leagv Iand ciuh 0r that organiza- dent ind member of the circuit committee, liTin Boston. It was Mr. Somers who first de tie attempt to locate the American ue there. Ue tried to induce Arthur IrwTa and the Charles Iliver park people to interest themselves in the American League proposition, but in vain. Urgent business Jailed him elsewhere, and then Connie Mack was sent to secure a neve location, and a lease of grounds on Huntington avenue waa the result.

We are here," said Mr. Johnson to a reporter of the Boston Herald, to take a look at the grounds, to confer with aa architect regarding the grand stand and bleach, ers, aud to arraDge for the contract work. Mr. Somers and I took a run to the grounds this morning, and were more than delighted with them. I never expected we would have anything so easy in Boston.

I have not tho least doubt that we may achieve success. -We have located in Baltimore, 'Washington, Philadelphia and Boston without invoking any local aid. We are abundantly able to handle each city without assistance, and will be willing to issue a certain amount of stock to local parties who may want it, for I believe the clubs should be conducted locally as far as possible. "The American League Is composed of energetic, active chaps, who are good hustlers. They could not afTord to undertake a move of this kind unless they were abundantly aWe to carry out their plans.

This move was planned months ago, and we had abundant faith that we should be able to carry It through. -In all of the cities in the East In which wt have 'ocated we have leased valuable property, and have satisfied the lessors of our ability to make good what we promise. We are not fighting anyone. We rurpose to bslld up baseball and help the game iu every posisble way. The preseut situation is entirely d'se to the misrule of the National League.

Both public and press have lost faith In that tody. A year ago. in Cleveland, the circuit com mittee the National League promised me that would cover the unprotected territory of Baltimore and Washington by giving it to the Eastern League. It failed to fulfill that pledge. As long as those cities were left open for the possession of any organization that cared to form, they were a standing menace to the welfare of the American League, a temptation to outsiders to organize a league and Intrench upon our territory.

'We have abandoned cities and left expensive plants, as has the league. We left Grand Rapids, Columbus, St. Paul, Minne apolis and Kansas City, but we interposed no barrier to any one else's occupancy of these cities by putting up an exorbitant price as the condition of entrance there. The league would allow no organization to nave Baltimore or Washington without paying a big price. As a matter of fact, the eqnlpments in Baltimore and Washington were worth lit- ti "The only way to help baseball is to have two leagues equal In strength established la friendly and healthy rivalry.

In our movement there Is no design to crush the National League: but it Is absolutely sure we'll remove from the game men In the National League who have always been a detriment to baseball. There are three great baseball cities Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago. Each of these will easily support two clubs. In Boston there Is a population of 1,500,000 within a radius of five miles. There are thousands upon thousands of strangers in your gates every day.

A city of the size of Boston Is big enough for two teams. While the league team is away, another club can bold the attention and support of the sport-loving public without affecting the other organization la the least. I think a second club in a city of this size enhances, rather than lessens, the Interest. "I understand that the success of the American League club in Chicago has been questioned. There is no necessity for that.

If our venture in Chicago were not a success, if we were not emboldened thereby to expand, we would not have come East at all. Tte truth of the matter Is, we shall be entirely satisfied if the first season la the other cities turns out to be as satisfactory as was that In Chicago." When asked how he thought the American Association would affect the American League, Mr. Johnson said: I rejard the American Association movement as a Joke. I haven't the least Idea It win ever start." Ifr. Johnson was asked about the manager for tie Boston club.

"We have selected our manager," he said, "but cannot state at present who he is. Suffice it to ray he will be a fully capable man. Be will be given team fully worthy of the apport of the public. That la all I can say present. President Franklin, of the Buf-hlo club, will have no Interest la the Boston tem.

if we conclude to take any of his Payers we will tee that he docs not -suffer thereby." GROUNDS IN PHILADELPHIA. American League Club Leases Park for Period of Ten Years. Philadelphia, Jan.

Pertinent Observations on the Game of Association Football. Association football seems to have taken on a new lease of life In the vicinity of Philadelphia, and. If properly handled, the game Is likely to win its way into public favor, says an exchange. This form of football, which Is essentially a kicking game. Is one that has outgrown the Rugby game In popularity la England, where the crowds which are attracted to the big annual contests between champion teams number anywhere from 30,000 to 50,000.

The game as now played by the best teams is very scientific aud affords opportunities for a great deal of team work. Ia association football the light active man has as good a chance to distinguish himself as the heavy man, and beef and brute strength do not count for as much as they do ia the college game. It is a splendid game for ex-eTclse aud physical development, and there is not the danger from mass plays, so objectionable la the more popular game. Association football was Introduced ia Philadelphia a few years ago, and became popular la the northeastern section of the city. The ambition to win the trophies which were being contested for induced the various clubs to Import star players from England, and as a result some of the teams who could afford to do this gobbled up all the prizes and made the contests so one-sided that they were robbed of interest, and the attendance fell off.

In the hands of the cricket clubs of Philadelphia, which have now taken up the game, 'association football ought to ilourish and become a very popular pastime. Walking Match Scores. ElmEf-a, N. Jan. 23.

Sixty-Seven Names Added to Flower City Driving Club Roll.

NEW SET OF BY-LAWS Attendance at Weekly Race Meetings t3 be Restricted Next Summer to Members. Quests from Outside the County and Ladies. There are now 377 names on the membership roll of the Flower City Driving Club. Sixty-seven of those names were added at the meeting of the club held last night at Its new quarters in the Wilder arcade. The big reading room was crowded with old and new members and the liveliest Interest In the affairs of the club was manifested.

President C. T. Chapia occupied the chair and Secretary James L. Hotcbklss was on hand to attend to the duties of bis office, which have become decidedly onerous since the organization began to expand. Besides receiving the large number of new members and transacting a considerable amount of less important business, the club adopted a new set of by-laws and house rules.

The section of the new by-laws that will prove of greatest Interest to the general public provides that hereafter attendance at the race meetings of the club shall be confined to members, guests of members from outside of Monroe county and ladies. Heretofore the weekly matinees at the driving park have been practically free to whoever cared to attend them, so, it will be seen, the new by-law works a radical change. Hereafter no Rochester or Monroe county man who is not a member of the club will be permitted to pass the gate and no one from outside the county will be admitted except as a guest of a member. All ladies will be admitted to all meetings. Another increase In the number of members of the executive committee of the club was decided upon at last night's The number was Increased from ten to last week, and now It Is Increased from twelve to fourteen.

The two new members are James Lockhart and C. 15. TownseuiL The full membership Is: A. J. Kneale, K.

All of tbe publications devoted to the Interests of the light-harness horse are kept on file, and, taken in their entirety, the new quarters of the Flower City Driving Club are about the proper thing.

PROFESSIONAL JUDGES. Employment of Paid Officials Advocated by a Turf Journal. Commenting on the proposition to employ paid Judges to officiate at race meetings the Spirit of the Times says: "Heat betting and laying up beats are vital questions and are most intimately related. If the majority of races were dashes and mile heats, two In three, there would be little or no laying up of heats, but as long as the majority of races are decided three la five, heats will be laid up and there will be more or less suspicion with regard to heat betting. "Under the three In five plan, with new judges at every meeting, drivers are always In tbe dark as to how the rule with regard to laying up beats will be applied.

Some judges practically ignore It, other judges will apply It lightly with a minimum fine, while another set of Judges for the same offense will put up a fine of $500. Either the rule is bad or Its application Is erroneous which permits so much elasticity. The cause Is easily found In the fact that Judges are amateurs and that both the rule and the performers are always being viewed by different eyen and from various standpoints. "But If the Grand Circuit had a paid expert presiding Judge there would be none of these Inconsistencies of practice. He would quickly become intimate with the peculiarities of the horses and the habits of the drivers.

The rule would never be Ignored, but, on the other hand. It would be Intelligently applied. Drivers knowing that they would have to meet the Judge at the next meeting would hesitate to lose a heat tn slow time when they knew that at the next he would find them out. There would doubtless be a few wholesome examples, but after that Infractions of the rule would be few and far between, and the time taken In settling a three In five race would be shortened, for there would be fewer lald-up heats. A presiding judge would also be punctual.

The racing would start on time, the regulation time between heats would be strictly observed. There would be no tedious waits and as a result the crowd would stay till the last race was over, and go home pleased and satisfied with the afternoon's sport. "The amateur Judge likes to be convivial, he wants to be popular with the horsemen, he likes to chat between heats. He takes a long time to reuder a decision, and la then often wrong. He does not' like to fine a driver for coming out late on the track.

All these characteristics militate against accuracy and punctuality and would be strictly avoided by a paid presiding Judge. The drivers would soon see the advantage of the new system, and If a few did not some, salutary fines would quickly whip them Into line. It would not be long before drivers would be co-operating with the judge In quick action, as they would realize the advantage to horses, as well as themselves, la disposing of the programme by 3:30 to 6 o'clock." Case of Mistaken Identity. A few weeks ago the Democrat and Chronicle told of the purchase by Charles T. Cha- Intends to Tour Europe With His Re.

Married Wife. New York, Jan. 23. Kid McCoy has planned for a long trip abroad. He expects to sail next week lu company with his wife.

McCoy said yesterday: "I am much disappointed because I have been unable to meet Sharkey at San Francisco. The reason why the mill was declared off was because 1 asked for a postponement, which the club refused to grant. I told the matchmaker that the date set for the contest, February 2Sth, was too near to give rae ample chance train. I propose to tour all the principal cities of Europe. I have plenty of money and can afford to spend some of it tn the pursuit of pleasure.

"Of course. If anything comes up In the way of a mill I will not thraw it over my shoulders. I will also give a few exhibitions of bag punching, which I think will be a novelty la some of the cities abroad. I have deposited as a forfeit to meet the winner of the Jeffrles-Ruhlln contest. It Is nil my own money, too.

Twenty-five huudred Is deposited with AI Smith, while the other up at Cincinnati. As soon as the winner of the struggle consents to meet me I will return to this country and go Into training at once. I will even take Htz-simmous." RETIRED FOR THE Fitzslmmons May be Again Seen in the Ring Before Long. New York. Jan.

All this talk about meeting Jeffries, which I have heard so much of late. Is not so. I never have said I would fight him, especially after the way be flunked when he had a hat.ee to meet me at MadUon Square Garden taut summer. I have nut heard from Dan Stuart or any one else In reference to meeting ffrles at Carson City. They can say all they viut to about me dolus this and that aud the other thing.
