With more than 100 horses on the grounds, 150 coming by special train from Pensacola, due here to-morrow morning, 'the snine number coming by- boat and due'to arrive later in the day, with the appointments, of course. In first-class shape, and tha city booked for a valid holiday, everything points to a splendid opening day for the sixty-day race meeting, which begins -next Monday. The city is fast filling up with visitors attracted by the racing, and the local folk are show ing much more Interest than ever before. The advance guard got In last night and this morning, and were well pleased with the conditions at the track. The course Is In much better condition than at any time last year, and while it will not be a record-breaking track there will be a big- Improvement oyer last, and all asrree that It is the safest of any winter The class of horses is far above that of former years here, and that there will be some 'racing worth while Is certain.

The most extensive stable here is of Wayne has 17 in his barn, the lot including three or four which held their own during the short time they raced at Jacksonville. Jop lln Is sure to get his share of the purses hung up here. Judge Burke. Racing Secretary Smith, and Clerk of the Scales Campbell were at the traak to-day. and all were highly pleased with the outlook.

Coming direct from'the Pensacola track, with Its cramped course and sharp turns, 'the Tampa track looked to them like a Belmont Park. The riding talent here has been helped along by the arrival of T. Koerner. who is one of the finds of the past season. At Saratoga last summer Koerner did the riding for the San-ford and was so successful as -to draw the highest praise from the veteran New York State breeder.

Big were offered Koerner to stay in Jacksonville, but he would not listen to them. He has been tendered a fat fee to return there to ride in the New-Tear's Handicap, but turned it down. Further notice has been served on the touts and othe- undesirables by General Manager Strode that their presence" Is not sired anrt their r.ti -in warm one If they Insist on coming here in spite or -sajie warnings that have given. Messrs. Smith and Colby, who will manage J.he ring, got In this afternoon, and are much elated at the prospect for a season of brilliant racing.

PACE Fast For Jack. Heavyweight Champion Hears ium-blings a Brainstorm and Becomes Badly Frightened. pcii. dhpatch to the ixqcmss i Milwaukee, December 30. Heavyweight Champion Jack Johnson is feeling the effects of the pace that kills! Daily dalliance witlr the grape and its attendant evs, combined with the wearisome grind of stage work, which has occupied him almost continuously since he won the title, are having a effect on the black giant.

Johnson Himself admits that lie is far from being in good condition. He intends to rest and recuperate before it is too lae, and with that end in view he is now mapping out a two months' vacation' tii California. -Within two weeks he will leave for the West, and will go into tbe mountains. A small party of his intimate friends will accompany him. All thought of early battles have been dismissed from the mind of the champ.

Possibly in March he will consider a match, but that depends upon his condition at that time. Recently reports were printed that-Johnson has accepted an offer from a club in Paris to box the winner of the Sam Ling-ford-Joe Jeanette battle, but the black man says there Is no truth Another dispatch hinted that Johhson has made a secret agreement to'box Al Kauft-mau in London next spring. The champion admits that he is considering this match, but has not accepted terms, and it is by no means certain he will take on tne California heavy. Hugh Mcintosh is eager to match Johnson with Kauffman. and Henry Messier, or Milwaukee, the American representative of the Australian, yesterday had a conference with the negro regarding a battle in London.

Johnson says that he has the "proposal under advisement, but does not expect to reach a excision until he has had time to get Into condition: The Paris promoters are reported to have offered Johhson a purse of $23,000, but no definite proposition has -been received by the champion. Johnson denies that his alleged indisposition is due to dissipation. He says the strain of dally work is responsible for his present condition. MORE LAND Added To the Kentucky Site.

Will Sign at Once If Contract Is Right Cubs Claim Victor Willis, Is Wanted By Reds Schedule Meeting Here. By Jack Sider. The expected occurred yesterday morning when President Herrmann received a long and pleasant letter from Eddie Grant, the star third baseman secured in the big trade with r.r.ni th lanehi "M----J Don the series, for the Cuban fans, who all over the fake stories to the effect that turMd number, to ODserve the he would not.

play' In Cincinnati because he had been held np to ridicule by certain fans here last season. He wrote that he was glad of the chance to play here, and would sign as soon as he received a contract, provided that terms were satisfactory to him. He ended with a very lawyer-like hint that he would appreciate a raise In salary over what he, was receiving at Philadelphia last year, and said that if he received the same he would not hesitate to attach his signature to the document without an Instant's delay. "I have not seen any of those stories that were printed about oiy disgust with Cincinnati," wrote' Grant to the Red chief. "I did not know anything about them until Billy Murray told me yesterday that the dope was going around that I was holding out and refusing to sign because certain people In Cincinnati had ridiculed 'me last season.

This kind of stuff ia absolutely false. If I was so thin-skinned as all thaC I. would never have become a professional ball player. Let me assure you. Herrmann, that I have no complaint to make whatever.

People can laugh at me all they want to I will still be out there tty'ing my best to deliver the goods. I do not understand how such fakes could gain circulation, as I have never given the slightest cause for any such ideas by any remark or insinuation. I ant ready to sign a at your pleasure, the terms are satisfactory. You know, of course, that baseball ia a business proposition with ne. and I shall expect- a raise in salary over what I got last year, as 1 feel that I am worth it.

If you agree with me, and our ideas on this subject are abortt the same. I shall lose no time' In signing as soon as you send me a contract." In. this communication Grant takes ex- 1 actly the stand that It was stated In The Knql-iber some time ago that he would i take. It mas said then that if this nlaver was so thin-skinned as to refuse to sign with a rJub because a little fun had been made of his personal peculiarities he was not the kind of man who would strengthen the Reds. On this point Grant comes to the front manfully.

He insists that calling him a female ostrich will not affect his playing In the future any more than It has In the past, and that he does not care a rap what folks say about him so long as he plays good ball and receive- liberal slice of coin for performing feats of skill at the third corner. This is the attitude that itvwas a cinch a lawyer would take. Let the rocks be delivered semi-monthly at the front door and the abuse on the field will go in at one ear and out at the other. President Herrmann was so pleased with the nice little tetter of Mr. Grant that he at once indited a cheering note to the third baseman.

Inclosing a contract, whose terms were arranged to suit the athlete unless he is more of a financier than Jake Beckley ever dared be. The Red chief ex- Ipects to receive by return mail the contract wun Air. uram a legal signature attached thereto. Cabs Claim Vic Willis. The Reds will not secure Victor Willis without a contest.

Tbe Chicago Club has also refused to waive claim on the tall pitcher. When Griff wired President "Herrmann to claim the veteran twlrler It looked like a cinch that Willis would come here for the waiver price of 11.500; buf now that Chicago has cut In It is not so certain. In cases of this kind it is customary for the club which owns the player to try to arrange a satisfactory deal with one or the other, playing them off against each other to the -best advantage. If either one is willing to stand for a raise yie player Is sold to the one offering the highest bid for him. Buttf both claiming clubs decline to go higher than (1.500 it is decided by lot which one is entitled to the athlete.

It is not at all likely that Manager Griffith will offer more than the regular waiver price for Willis, who has not much longer lo serve to the major league. So If the Cuba come to the front with a proposition that appeals Manager Bresnahan Willis will probably be added to the fast weakening Cub staff of pitchers. Iu.case neither club weis-ha in m-itk 1 offer above the waiver -figure lots will Ik cast. This will make Ittlmosfa cinch that the Cubs will get him. for Murphy Is much more lucky than Garry.

There is also qfutte a bit of difference between the two magnates in several other respects. Schedule Meeting Here. On next. Tuesday the annual meeting of the National Commission will be held at the Laughery Club, where the magnates will be the guest of President Herrmann for a day or two. Little real business will be transacted, for there.

is practically nothing to do except to elect a Chairman. As Mr. is certain of re-election, this matter will be attended to in short order. President Ban Johnson, -of the American League, will nominate him, John E. Bruce will second the motion and the deed wilUbe done.

Then President Lynch, of the -National League, will nominate John E. Bruce for Secretary. Mr. Herrmann will second ths motion arid the commission will, be ready for another year of strenuous labor. AU the business of the year has been' cleared up.

and the meeting of the commission Will be a good deal in the nature of a formality. Not socially, however. Already wagon loads of sausage, embracing the 18 leading, varieties recommended by the most cultured Bohemian epicures, strings of suckling pigs or a delicious fatjiess. crates of spare ribs, bushels of delicatessen and barrels of the luscious fruit of the saruer-kraut tree may be seen wending their way down the river road toward the famous clubhouse. Certain careful tinkllna-a from some of the vehicles Indicate he presence oi giass ware, ana every one knows that empty bottles -are not hauled 26 miles by Intelligent people.

So It is evident that the wants of the inner man will be suppUed whHe the rnagnates are sojourning on the banks of the Ohio. v'-v-- In addition to the National Commission meeting a meeting of the Joint Schedule- committee or tne two major leagues will be held at tbe dub. Mr. Johnson will repre- sent the American League, while the National League will have President Lynch, Secretary Heydler-and Barney Dreyfus on the ground. Mr.

Drey fuss ia the real worker on this committee, and he has already drawn up two or; three- different schedules which will be- compared with that offered by- Mr. Johnson, and the best features of each will be used. It is likely jthat Messrs. Johnson and Dreyfus will meet here on Monday for some-preliminary work on the schedule and they will probably go down to the club that afternoon to be Joined there on Tuesday by the rest ef the party f''wt wncn, of the National League, wUl jrlve a little dinner at tne club -on a uesaay- evening. BASEBALL GOSSIP.

Bud Fowler, the famous colored player who pitched for the Live Oaks, of Lynn. -back in the with Arlia Latham as his catcher, is still very much alive. It was reported' that Bundled In Newark last summer? but he1 comes- to the front wlthva rigorous denial. To show that he Is still on earth. Bud Is organising a star colored club to tour the Pacific Coast this season, and has written for dates in Cincinnati for his team en route He is wintering at Amsterdam.

N. T. The Maysville (Ky.) team, now a member of the Bluegrass League, is tbe first club to take notice that there will beta team of Red Colts In the spring. Tljey want a game up there with the Colts on Sunday. April 9.

Banny has submitted terms, and the game will doubtless be played. Ed -Maekey, of Union City, will manage the Maysville team, and Is rounding up a powerful aggregation. The refusal of and Baker to go to Cuba with the Athletics cost-those players who took the trip 1143 each. Under -their original contracf with the Cuban promoters, with Collins and Baker in the line-up. the team was to get (7,000, or (300 each for 14 men.

But when Mclnness and Derrick were substituted for the two infield stars the guarantee was cut to (5.000, or (3DT for each player. So Collins and Baker do' not stand as high with their comrades as they once did. At that the promoters lost money Detrolts. did not take so much interest In the world's champions; and 8enor Jimlncs dropped (.1.0) or (4.000 on the venture. Calls for reserved seats for the opening championship game of 1011 at Leagu Park, which will be played with.

Pittsburg on April 12, have already been made, but no attention will be paid to such appeals until the official schedule is adopted, tickets printed and the seating capacity of the grand stand determined. Almeida, the Cuban third baseman who Is so highly recommended by Frank Bancroft as sn inflelder for theiReds, batted .306 in the Connecticut Leaeue last season. He hit .262 against Detroit this. fall, and over .300 against the He is a lightning fielder and base runner, and the most popular player in Cuba. He is not colored, but a native Cuban, who speaks very little English, but understands the usual words used in baseball.

Including all epithets applied to umpires. He would prove a big card in the National League, Banny says. Immediately after New Tear's Banny will begin to frame up the official score book for 1911. which is always the beston the circuit, and will be even better than ever this year.
