Thor l.i not a inoro vllly lufliicn-(Inl or Riitncralli: t'iruratlin on carlh than the Jorki rlub, which may ho Bald to rule hoi'se-rnclnt? all nvr tho it 1m, as most pcnpln know, within the pimerx of the rlnb to iut an ond to the ruchifr rnrwr of a liorm--ownrr. trainer, Jim kry, or anyone elxo c-oniifH'trrt with tho sport hy wurnUig him "off the Hi'ath" wlihh mi-aiiB Nt market lleaih thereby making Mm a "marked man" In the wportliiK world and virtually burring every nice course aualnst him. Ami this can bo done, without imslfnloff nml the offender has no chance of aptul, Blnce there is no hl)ier authority than that which has condemned him. Hut them ure other penalties than this to most possible offences against "the morality of the turf." find quite an elaborate system of forfeits exists.

Tacitly every "sport" who engages In horse-racing admits Ills liability to the fines, penalties, and forfeits which the Jockey club or the stewards of "heal" meetings may at any time think fit to inllict. Ieflance is nlmost unknown, and if persisted in would doubtless entail the extreme penalty of Turf law. Every race horse owner, trainer, and Jockey is, therefore, more or less under the governance of th" club, which has assumed especial ly large powers for dealing with Jockeys, whose licenses to ride may be cancelled or suspended for almost any length of time at the discretion of the otewards. The stewards of all "local" raee-mcetlngs, too. have temporary Jurisdiction over owners, trainers, Jockeys, and others on their own courses, and are empowered to inflict tines to any amount not exoeedins 50.

Any offence which could not be adequately punished by a tine to the full amount would be reported to, and dealt with by the Jockey club, which would Indeed, probably Inquire Into the facts of any offence whatsoever, though is not actually supposed to take cir-nizance of small offences dealt with by the Btewards of the meetings. Fines are but rarely, however, Imposed for real offences, for the reason that It is deemed with the stables to be absolutely above suspicion, and where an actual offence against the laws or mortality of the turf is commuted, more condign punishment than a mere fine is generally Indicted. All sorts of offences are pulnshed. For Instance, an owner pays an entrance fee of 1)0 for each of his candidates for the Derby, and he is at liberty to scratch them any time before the race. If he scratches a candidate before a certain date he recovers 45 of the entrance fee, but after that date only 25 Is returned to him; the balance being held as a penalty for his procrastination.

The object of these fines Is to deter owners entering Improbable runners and complicating the arrangements and confusing the betting at the last moment by wholesale scratching. Even despite these penalties, owners often enter three or four liorses for a race without any intention of running more than one; tho Idea being to start only the horse which trains fittest up to the last moment. Then, it is the fancy of some owners to race under assumed names. The Jockey club docs not forbid this, hut Imposes a tine of Jloft on those who claim tho priviltjij, course, at the same time to the owners real names are always known to the authorities. Later on, when one or two stylish things have been pulled off and the owners have worn out their modesty, they, perhaps, feel they would llko to be known In their ow names as the possessors of some good horses and as patrons of the sport oj kings, and, therefore register themselves in their patronymics.

The Jockey club does not forbid this It rather favors it. Indeed, for It immediately claims another $150. Similarly, a fine Is imposed when a horse's name is changed Half a crown only need be put down to obtain official registration of a horse's but if, on second thoughts, the owner decides to change the animal's name, he Is at liberty to do so only when he has paid another $25 Twenty-five dollars Is also the amount of the fee payable for the registration of an owner's racing colors which may, however, be registered from year to year at 5 shillings a time, providing no change In them is made The club Is very strict on this point that a horse shall not run under any other colors than those of its owner, has formally registered as his own. For any Infraction of this rule a fine of $50 may be inflicted on the owner of the h(H-so To lodge an objection to a horse which has won or been placed in a race tho objector has to deposit $25 with tho stewards and if his objection Is not upheld he never sees his deposit money again. More than that, If his objection proves to be frivolous, he may, in addition to losing his $25, be fined as well.

In a recent case of this kind the stewards held thnt an objection lodged against the winner of a hurdle race at Haydock park was "frivolous, unwarrantable an) objectionable," and beside estreating the deposit money lined the objector $100 to emphasize their judgment.

Considering the thousands of ball players who have been playing since the great national game was Inaugurated In America, it is remarkable to note tho smnll number of accidents and deaths which have occurred in the Held; also the small number of suicides, murders and cata-stropheK. Over four decades have passed since baseball became America's national athletic pastime, and of the thousands of professionals and amateurs only one player has been hanged and only one player Is now conlined in the penitentiary for murder. Professional ball players are mado of every class of people.

Many arise from tho slums, others are college graduates and young business men. Baseball is a famous educator, and once a player, no matter how rough and uncouth he may bu In starting, one year's experience on the road wll. make him a different man. He stops at only first-class hotels, where he hears a different language. He is Introduced to prominent business men, lawyers, physicians and clergymen.

He also receives the applause of the fair sex and a new life opens up to him. He becomes ambitious and in time polished und refined. It is also a remarkable fact that of the big arm of ball players which has travelled from coast to coast, in all kinds of weather, through blizzards, cyclones and tornadoes, that few. If any, serious accidents have occurred during the forty or more years of organized ba-sebalji Time and time again circuses and theatrical companies have been wrecked, with serious loss of life, but the ball player seems to bear a charmed Jife. Only twice In the history of the national game have baseball teams been in train wrecks, and then with no serious loss of life.

About four years ago the Chicago National league team, while en route to play at Pittsburg, on an eastbound limited, was wrecked In Indiana and several of the coaches were reduced to splinters. Only one of the Chicago players was Injured. That was Jimmy Ryan, who received a sprained shoulder. It as also in Indiana a few years ago that a limited train carrying a team of college players was wrecked near Lafayette and several of the players badly Injured. It was in the enrly 80s that the famous Richmond (Va.) team, champions of the Kastern league, were on a steamer which wan wrecked off Hampton Roads, one of the most dangerous phices on the whole Atlantic coast.

Among the Richmond players were several who became famous later in the National league. They were Ferguson, Wise, Tate, Nash and Glen. Ferguson was for a while the star twlrler of the Philadelphia National, and Jfiisli. AViso, (Jlen and Tarte, became stars later with the lioston Reds. One of the few tragedies In baseball circles happened when 1 Charles Sweeney, the one-time famous California pitcher, shot and killed a policeman in San Francisco, and after his from the Kan QUentln prison shot and killed himself in a lit of despondercy.

'Tacer" Smith, once a well-known minor league pitcher, killed his wife In a fit of and was the only baseball player that was ever hanged. A few years ago Frank Harris, third baseman of the Davenport (Iowa) team, killed a man at Freeport, 111., and Is now serving a life sentence. Petitions ure being circulated to Secure his pardon. Harris was a fimtn-lsinnr young player, a handsome fellow, and was popular with all who knew him. The shooting was the outcome of the jealous rivalry which existed between the two men for the affections of a young woman.

There were several players In baseball history who were famous In their day, and one of them Is still famous In athletic lines. When the Providence, R.I." team won the world's championship, and for several years was up among the leaden of the National league, with the Fruit Radhourne as the star twlrler. Providence also had a one-armed pitcher, known to the world as "One-Arm Daly," and who later with big McCormlck, was the star slab artist of the Cleveland National league team. Daly was a giant in stature, had good curves and terrible speed, "and Daly could hit some." The first time that Jimmy Cialvin faced the one-armed wonder he gave him a straight ball, just to Daly's liking, and he put it over the fence. Little Neva, the Spaniard, was Daly's catcher.

He also caught the speedy Railbtiurne. Neva Is well-known to baseball funs on the Pacific coast. In '89 and 'DO there was a one-armed player rtnmed Kngland, who pitched with fine success In the old Tri-State league. Kngland also was a giant, and a good sticker. The pitching freak wonder of them nil was Charley (six-fingered) Gray.

When Amos Rush? left tho Grand Avenues of Indianapolis, amateur champions, to each hand nnd six toes on each foot. Gray took Ills place. Gray had six fingers on each hand and six toer. on each foot. Gray had speed to burn, and when he would wind the five fingers and thumb around the tmll it was entirely hidden from view.

Xi twlrler ever lived who had tho ln-shoot of the six-Angered wonder, and when he went to Pittsburg In 1890 he had tho heavy-hitting National leaguers busy dodging his terrific shoots. Gray left the Pittsburg team because the manager would not allow him to pitch every day, and also because the manager Insisted on his wearing a collar In the dining room, nnd prohibited him from shooting craps on the street with the bootblacks and news-boys. Another player nnd umpire who Is now famous In other athletic lines as Charles G. Kilpatrlek, now known as "Daredfivll" Kilpatrlek. automobillst and cyclist, now at tho Lewis and Clark exposition, giving exhibitions.

Kilpatrlek pitched with good success for a time, and later became nn umpire In the Three-Eye league. Kll's greatest trouble was in keening out of tho way of hard-hit grounders and liners. While umpiring a game at Terre Haute, Kilpatrlek was lilt on the crutch and' went down and nut. Ho afterward went on the stage as a "song-and-danre artist," and also tackled the boxing game. He Issued a challenge to tight any one-lgged man in the world, but the challenge was never accepted.

Later he became famous as a trap shot, balloon ascen-sionlst and trick cyclist. Suicides among ball plnyers have rot been many. Seven years ago Ned Crane, one of the most famous pitchers, shot and killed himself at a hotel In Rochester, N. Crane was the only man who lowered the long distance throw of Hatfield which that layer had held for over tw enty years, and also the only player that caught baseball thrown from the top of the Washington monument, which Is Cs5 feet high. About the sametimc JaoR Shfman, one ot the most popular men aX Ui THE WINNIPEG TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, AUGUST 19, 1905 OF' BASEBALL HISTORY National league, cati her of the Brooklyn clubhand graduated from the tame amatuur team us Amos Rusle, drowned' himself In Lake Michigan, Chicago.

In Jack's pocket was found a pathetic love letter addressed to a young woman whom liu wua about to marry. "Tip" O'Nell, the well known manager and catcher of tho Oakland team for many years, was one of tho neatest dressers lu the baseball fraternity. "Tip" had a splendid physique and in sented alhandsome appearance both and uft'thu diamond. Every lover of tho national game knows Arlle Latham, famous third baseman, actor, clown ami umpire. Arlle was a whole team in himself, and lib; antics on tho Held will long bo remembered.

Other natty dressers and chnracteVs on the ball field were "Adonis'- Terry, "Tony" Mullane, Campau, "Hid" McPhee, Charley Jones, Jimmy lieebles, Hilly Sunday, Andy Andersen and "Kid" Gleason. "Count" Campau is a descendant and a scion of a noble French family, und the Campau homestead, known as tho "chateaux," Is one of tho old landmarks, nnd one of the most beautiful homes of Detroit. He is well known on the coast, at ono lime played with Seattle. Many humorous Incidents have occurred in basebull circles since tho dawn of the game. An umusing Incident happened in 1SS4 at Toledo, when a foul tip struck Catcher "Tug" Ar-under on the top of the head nnd bounding off, was caught on the fly by Third Baseman "Foghorn" Miller.

Hank Day was the pitcher, and Arundel, who caught 23 consecutive games without gloves, mask or chest protector, was not injured. Another peculiar Incident happened a few years back on the Haltimore, grounds. "General" Jim Jackson, who afterward became one of the star hitters of the Pacific Coast league, was playing right Held for Baltimore, when a long fly was knocked between him and the centre fielder; both players started after tho ball, and Just as it dropped a big bulldog grabbed It In his teeth and across the field with it. Three runs came in. "Jimmy" says the dog was the greatest outfielder that he had ever seen, and was a wise guy, because he was mascot for the opposing team.

Another peculiar Incident happened In '78 on the old Tecumseh grounds, London, in a game between the teams ot tho Tecumseh and Syracuse of the International league. "Hig Mike" Dorgan, catcher of the Syracuse team, drove a terrific liner toward the right centre. Hall, the brilliant centre fielder of the Tecumsehs, sprinted af-tei the ball, but the sphere hit the fence and stuck there; it was wedged bttween two posts and had to be pried Dorgan scored a home run and chased In two runners ahead of him, winning the game for Syracuse. Actors have long claimed the distinction of being the most superslltlos people on earth, but they are eclipsed by the professional ball player. No 13 Is a horror to them.

Some years aso. while managing a team In the F.astorn league. I had to summon tho clerk of a hotel In Rochester, N.Y., to change the figure 13 on one of the rooms, as the player refused to sleep there, even though it was the only vacant room In the house. When a ball player meets a cross-eyed woman ho spits through his fingers three tlmeH; If a cross-eyed man, twice; if a team driving to the grounds meets a funeral on tho way they will make the driver go out of his way as many blocks as there aro carriages in the crrtege. If a lady drops a button oft her dress and a ball player gets it he will sew It on his shirt to ward off the Jonah.

If there Is a plcknniny within reach the players will rub their hands over his wool, which Is a sure sign of victory. These are only a few of the many Institutions in baseball circles. ROCKEFELLER'S DONATIONS. All He Has Given Covered by' Three Years of Standard Oil Divi- There Is no doubt that his charities are many of them personal and never known outside of his immediate circle. There are three or four old ladies in Cleveland, friends ot his youth, to whom he gives a monthly Income.

Unfortunate Baptist ministers, worn-out teachers, and missionaries in great numbers ure helped by him, while the poor of all grades receive much direct help. Of course he gives much to his church, but he has never made any church the object of affectionate and lavish giving. He seems never to have been willing to give more than what he considered his share. has been computed that Mr. Rockefeller's entire gifts, public and private charities, have amounted to about It would be fair to call the aggregate and that would probably do Mr.

Rockefeller full Justice. It is not a great sum considering Mr. Rockefeller's vast income. Prohabiy his dividends from tho Standard Oil company alone in the last three years would cover it. And the Standard Oil company Is only one of Mr.

Rocker-feller's dividend earners. it is quite probable that the man would give more money If hn could give it without doing from his point of view, more harm than good. He hates waste and shiftlessness. He must have seen long ago that money given freely Is more often than not administered carelessly. He must have seen how charity to Individuals often engenders dependence, ruins self-reliance.

He must have come to understand that lavish giving is a tcrrrblo social menace, injuring the self-respect of recipients, fostering greed- for more. Ho must have learned that ono of the most difficult things In this world Is to give so that It Will not corrupt nnd weaken. It in generally said by Mr. Rockefeller's friends that it is such consideration as well as his ab-horrance of waste that has led him to establish the "charity bureau" at 26 Broadway, which Investigates before giving, and which in many rases audits annually the accounts of Institutions which have taken his money. If Mr.

Rockefeller thinks nn theso things and the care with which ho scrutinizes his gifts would lead one to think ho does, may ho not come to realize finally the utter Impossibility of iustlfy-Ing by charity the Injustice which such an accumulation as his has cost.
