Horello Leads the 2-Year-Olds, Lamplighter the 3-Year-Olda and Banaust the Horaea Macon McCormack Writes on the Championship Base Ball Rumors General Sporting; New. New York, Oct. 18. The legal racing sea son on Board of Control tracks In New Tork closed Saturday and below will be found a list of the leading winning owners up to date. The Washington meeting now in progress will not cause much alteration, as there are no stake events of any Importance on the card.

People who do not go to race tracks have only a faint conception of what an enormous business racing has grown Into. For example, the first five men on the list of owners-Messrs. Ehret, Daly, Dwyer, Morris and Lor-lllard divided among themselves nearly $600,000, which was merely the purses and stakes won by their horses. Altogether $1,533,702 was given away by the four tracks in the State of New York and Monmouth Park. If the winter tracks were Included the total would considerably exceed this sum.

This money was divided among 210 owners, and it must be confessed that the division was most unequal. The bulk of the money naturally went to the millionaires, who can afford to pay more fr horses and get better horses, than poor men; but the expenses of their establishments are correspondingly greater, and It Is doubtful if a solitary one of these rich owners quit the season winner unless he was fortunate in the betting ring. F. A. Ehret, the young brewer, heads the list of winners with a total or $156,148.

Mr. Ehret last year won over $100,000. It is generally known, however, that Mr. Ehret has not been particularly successful in his betting; his forrelt list has been a tremendously heavy one, and the other expenses of his stable have been very great. It will not be a great surprise to turfmen to learn, therefore, that Mr.

Ehret will sell out his entire establishment within a month and will permanently retire from the turf. His father has also had much to do with the young man's decision, as he has always been averse to his son's running horses. The principal winners in the Ehret stable have been Sir Francis, who won $44,068, Don Alonzo, who won and Yorkvllle lselle, who won $46,440. The stables captured two of the richest 2-year-old stakes of the season, the Junior Champion with Don Alonzo and the Matron Stakes with Sir Francis. York-vllle Belle practically swept the board in the fllly stakes.

Marcus Daly, the Copper King, who Is second on the list with $116,175 to his credit, owes most of it to his great 3-year-old, Tammany, who won every race in which he started except one and rolled up $72,390 for his owner. Mr. Daly has spent in buying bad yearlings three or four times the money he won this season, and as he runs his horses for love of the royal sport all turf men wish him many returns. Mr. Daly Is so busy out West with his copper and gold mines and trifles of that sort that he neglects the true pleasure of living, which is seeing good racing.

When Mr. Daly does come East he should see that his horse Montana Is either given away or thrown away. He has been the cause of much grief to an innocent public this season. His Suburban victory will go down into history as one of the mysteries of the turf. M.

F. Dwyer owes his third place on the list to his fine stable of handicap horses. Banquet. Xomad and Kingston won the bulk of the money for lilm. Banquet alone won $23,00.

In addition to the $114,116.67 which Mr. Dwyer's horses won for him la purses, the ring contributed over $100,000. J. A. II.

M. Morris, whose horses, particularly the 2-year-olds, met with disaster after disaster, manaced to pick up $97,165. If St. Florlan had not broken down this sum would have been Increased at least $25,000. Mars won for the all-scarlet $20, 47a.

83; Reckon. Russell. $7,933. and Correction, $7,885. The 2-year-olds, with whom Trainer Walden Is usually so successful, nearly all went wrong In the spring, and the public only saw the rag-tag of the stable.

Pierre Lorlllard. who is fifth on the list, wltii $:2.536.99 to his credit, is Indebted to the mighty Lamplighter for $35,525. Locohatchee won $11,305. Mr. Lorlllard Is reported to have quit the season $125,000 ahead of the bookmakers.

Of the less fortunate owners Gideon Daly won $62,186.84, although His Highness has been ailing all season. Foxhall Keene won $47,035 with a very ordinary lot of horses, and August Belmont won $36,443, of which Lady Violet won Mr. Belmont will have a larger stable next season. The season of 1892 has not been a notably brilliant one, but It has produced three horses who will compare favorably with those of the last. Morello Is unquestionably the best 2-year-old of the year, and would be a great 2-year-old In any year.

Lamplighter, in the opinion of the shrewdest men on the turf. Is the best 3-year-old we have had since Hindoo. He Is certainly a horse of the first class, and as he Is perfectly sound he promises to be a still greater horse next year, when he will reach his full maturltv. In we certainly nave a nandlcap horse of the llrst rank. He can carry almost any weight; he has wonderful spe.ed, the courage of a game cock and ability to go any distance.

Banquet Is an extraordinary horse, and, as he is In perfect health and thoroughly sound, his achievements next year ought to be most brilliant. The 2-year-olds, with the exception of Morello, have been most disappointing lot. Don Alonzo, Lady Violet and Helen Nichols are the best, nnd Don Alonzo In his junior championship form may develop into a really hlith-class animal next season.

The Madison Racing Association management have, according to reliable reports, about concluded negotiations with Richard Dwyer to act as starter at the new track.

The Association wanted C. H. Pettlnglll, who started at Garfield Park until the Chicago police closed up that course, but for some reason or other they fail to capture him. Pettlnglll will. It Is thought, start at the new track now In course of erection in the State of Indiana, a short distance from Chicago.

Judge Hatch, who officiated as assistant Judge at the Fair Grounds last spring and presiding Judge at South Side Park while the late summer meeting was in progress at that point, will In all probability officiate as presiding judge at the Madison track.

BASE BALL. For eleven long innings the Clevelands and Bostons struggled in the opening game of the national championship series and when night fell neither side could claim the victory. Not a single run was scored and not a fielding error made. It was a pitcher's battle from the start with Farmer Young and Jack Stlv-etts the contepdtng giants. "Honors were easy.

while Young gave no one his base on balls as did fUvetts, tn Boston boy had more strike-outs to his credit. Boston got men as far as third base In two Innings, but could not score them. In the ninth inning Cleveland came near ending the agonv. With two men on bases and only one out a run seemed Inevitable. Burkett was on second and Davis on third.

McKean drove the ball like a shot to Shortstop Long. Burkett made third, but Davis was forced at second. Quinn held the ball and Burkett darted for home. Kelly blocked him very cleverly, and on Qulnn's throw caught him a foot away from the plate. The game was one ot the prettiest exhlbl-bltions of si'ientidc ball playing ever put up.

'ihe summary: Cleveland. Boston, 0. Base hits Cleveland. Boston. 6.

Errors Cleveland, Boston. 0. Batteries Young and Ztm.uer; ttivetts and Kelly. IS THIS A ROORBACK? Louisville, is making a strong bid to become the storm center of the base ball test sraarskdteei to our all net-roes diseases, such as Weak Memory, Loss of Brain Power. Headaaaa.

TUey are the only clubs be- before whictt a chamDlonshiD can be deemed, and it seems as if It would be a good Idea for their managers to cet togetaey anu iormuiate new rules, not only for the government of contests within.

tnelr rings, but also to regulate the manner of holding championships. Under the old rules a champion had to flsrht twice a year If called upon to do so, and the man who first posted money for a match atralnst him was entitled to the first crack at him. McCormacfc echoes the sentiment of almost all unprejudiced authorities when be says mat tne rule should be that a champion snouia not be called on to defend his title ortener than once a year, ana that year snouia aate from the time or ins last contest. The clubs, according to SIcCormacR, should nave a voice in saying who be must tight. 'iet me tell you why.

Suppose a man wins the championship and is In great de mand as a theatrical star. Under the old rules he '(can. If be sees fit, hire a man to challenge him, and post money to DacK his challenge, lie can accept his offer and get some club to hangup a purse for their contention. Then he is free from any further obligation to fight again ror six months. Under the other plan noining or tne Kind could be done, xne champion would have to fight the antagonist selected for him or forfeit his title.

As cham pionship matters are" now the holder of the title Is virtually a law unto himself. This should not be. He should have a chance for a year to realize on his reputation, but be should be compelled then to meet the best man that could be found to faca him, or to give way xo some man wno wouia.

Ihe latter will be placed In position later on, when the Cincinnati Is floated Into the dry dock. The work of wedging the ways on which the cruiser stands has already begun, though the greasing down process will not be resorted to until within two or three days of the actual date of the launch. The launching platform leading up from the water is now being eroded.

It wlJl take a couple of weeks of labor to prepare these latter ways. The Cincinnati has been given a coating of paint extending over her entire hull above the water line. This color Is not Intended as a permanent one for the Cincinnati. serves simply as a protection of the Ironwork as a preventive of runt.
