LEXINGTON, i March 10. The feather bo far this week has been abso- lutely perfect for training, atid the horses have beenlyen a lot of strong work. The Bradley bOys sent their good Blue Eyes 2-year-old Greatlarid a half in :52, and Jlohn Clay gave his Derby candidate Dominis, by Himyar Lady Agnes, some'fast work; but he is not lyet ready to go any distance of ground. Richardson has taken up Faraday and a prdmiBlng black 2-year-old colt by which has1 showed some fast halves. i 1 Capt.

Thomas J. Bush, the well-known turfman, for many years secretary of the Kentucky has been seriously ill, but is now. able to be out. Charley Hughes, the well-known trainer, arrived here yesterday from Chicago. He.

has been busy inspecting hfs horses, which re quartered at Horse Haven, Hardy1 Durham's place. Mrt Hughes speaks enthusiastically of the racing prospects in the West this year. He thinks there will be better racing than usual and he does not believe that any more hostile legislation will be enacted I against racing. 1 President J. Hull Davidson of the Ken, tucky Association track arrived from New IVork last i night.

He says will be a spring meeting at Lexington and that good purses will be offered. There will be no stake Davidson thinks there will he' plenty of horses to race for the purses and overnight handicaps, and that the meeting will be a successful one. Haker Gentry have engaged the clever r.talhje boy Percy Miller, wno worked for-Grater Broslast year, Percy will be an "understudy to this firm's Jockeys, and will be allowed to rtde in races where exceptionally light weight is required. Many horsemen think Miller will make a good Jockey. I JOCKEY CIXB MEETlG.

AniendmetitK to HaetpK RoIe-Stew-: arls Also Hold a Selon, 1 NEW YORK, March 10. At the regular meeting of the Jockey Club to-day. a number of amendments to the rules of racing were adopted. Rule 63, paragraph 2, was amended to read its follows: "In all cases of sale by private treaty or public auction, the written acknowledg- trwnt of both parties that the horse was sold with engagements is necessary to prove the fact, but when a horse is sold or claimed 'out of a selling race the advertised conditions of the race are sufficient Rule tlT was stricken out and the following: substituted therefor: "The starter shall have authority to fine or suspend a jockey for disobedience Of his orders or for attempting to take any unfair advantage; but the suspension of the jockey shall not take effect until after the last race of the day of his suspension, i "The starter shall not impose any fine exceeding $2iX for any offense nor suspend beyond thfe lust day of the meeting, and he Professional Base Ball in St Louis the Coming Season. 'Tuck' Turner May Be Retained the Home Team's Outfield-Browns Schedule of Preliminary Game Almost Complete Choynakl and, Sharkey Will Meet To-NIght Cycling News.

Tim Hurst, the Browns' manager, due in St. Louis to-morrow, will come direct from New York, where he; has been spending most of his time since leaving this city six weeks ago. Hurst will complete all arrangements with President Muckenfuss for the team's practice trip to West Badeh Springs, Ind. It is the latter'a idea to hav the team, In charge of Manager Hurst, leave for the springs next Tuesday, i Quarters have already been engaged for the. players, and until April 1 they will Undergo a thorough course of training at the Indiana health resort.

Hurst Is going to make the players exert themselves in the preliminary games, and he will tolerate no loafing. For the first few days most of the time will be occupied in getting the: men Into condition. Light practice" on the diamond will be taken as a starter, gradually' increasing until a full nine-inning game will be played. The team is to return to St. Louis April 1, and from then on until April 13, two days before the opening of the regular championship season, exhibition games will be played with minor league teams.

It is intentions I fco arrange as many games as possible with Western League teams. Accordingly three of the teams of that league have already been booked for series of games at Sportsman's Park. On April 15 the Browns will open up in earnest 'with Tom Burns' Chicago aggregation to opponents. I "Tuck" Turner Is still a Brown Stocking, and it looks as though Manager Hurst were going to give the ex-Quaker a chance to redeem himself in the early games. Turner showed an unfortunate slump in his general playing last season and batted and fielded far below his standard.

If "Tuck" regains the form he displayed while with the Phila-delphias, he will be one Of the home team's mainstays. He is a (natural hitter and should bat .350 or better this season. Dowd, Holmes and Harley will contest for the three outfield positions, and unless Turner is installed in right garden this trio will comprise the 'locals' outfield. Dowd is a well-seasoned player and much Is expected of him. Harley should show great improvement this season.

He Is very speedy and quite a sticker, but did not do himself Justice here last summer. 1 Holmes Is almost as erratic as Monte Crossi and it remains to be seen how he will performs On paper, the Browns seem to be well equipped as to outfielders. .1 1 I "I am glad to read that La Chance will cover first base for us this season." de clared Crooks yesterday. "He is a great target for an inflelder to throw at and is as active on his feet as a kitten. He is as big, if not bigger, than Roger Connor, and covers lots of ground.

Besides, he is a good sticker, and we are in heed of batters." I St. Louis "fans" will watch with great interest the work of Frank Donahue with the Philadelphias this season. Frank made an enviable reputation for himself as a member of home team for the past two seasons, and if Manager Stallings. of the Phillies, uses good judgment In the way he works hlmj "Donny; should be the Quakers' leading box artist. Donahue is still a young man and has exemplary habits.

Little is expected of the Philadelphias this year, and Frank appears to have gone from one losing team to another. With proper support he can be depended upon to win a majority of his games, i I There have been miriy stories printed as to Harry Stelnfeldfs ability as an inflelder. So far as his practice with the Reds goes, it has been decidedly satisfactory, although, of course, he will not: have any- occasion to show his real strength or weakness for some weeks'. There are many stories afloat as to his, practice of I "shinning" a ball instead ofnelding it cleanly. One of the.mem-bers of last season's Indianapolis team now with the RedS there are three ex-Hoosiers mow with the team tells of a game in which Steinfeldt'B converted what 'might have been an out Into a home run.

"Billy Gray i was at bat," said this player, he hit a hot one straight at Steln-feldt, who was playing third base for Detroit. Instead of trying to stop the ball with jhis Steinfeldt jput his legs together and awaited the coming of the ball. It came like a rifle Bhot, but struck the shin pads which Steinfeldt wears and bounded oft into the wagon yard, giving the batter a lovely home run." Beckley says that with his shin fads Steinfeldt will be disqualified for be-ng overweight. "PINK" HAWIiEY TTnsS UP. Has Not Yet Signed a Contract' irlth the CincinnatiH.

Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat. SAN ANTONIO, March Hawley Is here. The "high muckamuck" of the "hold-lout" squad arrived this morning, looking aa fresh as a daisy and appearing in an unusually happy frame of mlnd. ji- I I' "Pink" hag not signed a Cincinnati contract, and says he does not Intend to Until the club agrees to pay him the same salary that he received from the Pittsburg management Jastj season.

If Hawley has anything to say, he must eome to me. It would be an injustice I to the other players to give him the same privileges as those that have signed.

It is all up to Hawley so far as I know; the club has! nothing more to offer him." The game between the Colts and Vets this afternoon resulted in-a victory for. the Vets by a score of 10 to 7.

The regulars I defeated the Colts again to-day by the score jof 10 to p. They started out in earnest, as though they did, not Intend to allow the Colts to get the early advantage they secured yesterday. The youngsters, however, played a fast game and the contest was Interesting from beginning to end. Kauffman and Pickering distinguished themselves in the field by catching several apparently safe hits. McAleer excelled at the bat, with five hits in as many times up.

Manager Tebeau and President Robison express themselves as highly pleased; with the condition of 'the players. The regulars will go to Little Rock to-morrow morning, where they will play the Pittsburgs a series of two or three games: Batteries Regulars, Powell, Young and ZImmer; Colts, Kauffman, Kelb and Criger.

At Ithe last meeting1 of the national assembly it was decided; to make all professional 'i wheelmen register with Chairman Mottj for which they will be taxed $2 each. Taylor is a professional rider and a very good one, as many of the champions found out last season. In accordance with the decision of the assembly, Taylor will register and pay Chairman Mott $2 if his -application 3 accepted. If Taylor is allowed to register the L.

FRANKLIN AVE. A CENTRAL PRODUCE MARKET. Business Men of East Louis Want to Establish One.

The Schema Will Benefit St. Louis as Well as the East Side A Popular Beau In Trouble Jealous Husband At- tempts Suicide East Side News. Members of the Grocers Association and many other citizens are just 'now agitating the establishment of a central market, and it is quite likely that suchj. a bill would pass the City Council without a dissenting vote. Mayor M.

JJow it ieems the matter has been generally dlsciissed, and all classes of citizens feel that; it wpuld' be a great benefit, not only to the grocers, to the citizens generlany It, is -contendfiaj that half the products of trreaf hnl- foma never reach East St Louis or St. Louis on account of the absence ot such a market, but are shipped In way stations to Chicago and Eastern markets. The farmers' claim thatjlf the market was established, iand they; knew that they would find- buyers, would send everything to East St.

Louis, knowing well that if they failed in disposing of their produce It would be but a short distance to St. Louis. Now, however, with but one alternative they accept the proposition of Eastern and Northern buyers, and ship their j' truck: in President George Lotz. pf the Grocers' As-: sociatlon, is heartily in' favor of the market, and will lend it all possible aid. He Says there is no reason why there should not be a central place! where the farmer and storekeeper or other buyer could meet and make bargains.

It would bring a large; lot of business to East St. Iouis, and com-i pel the Eastern buyers to come to East 8t. Louis Instead of dealing directly with the farmer. All oppose general peddling during market hours, and 'say-i that they will back the scheme with money if It Is put on foot.
