PLAYS EAST LAKE GOLF C0URG*
IN 92 STROKES—SAM WIL-
LIAMS IS SECOND.
By J. S. A. MACDQNALD,
New York, Nov. A—Pursuing their nsusl
.policy of sacrificing ft gnat to frighten an
•lspbant, the booblah stewarda of the
Jockey Club meted out a dose of nn usual
severity to Bob Rogers, owner of Garnish,
last Tuesday. Rogers was ruled off the
turf altogether with bis trainer, John Wil
son. In the race where Radtke Is alleged
to hive pulled Tommy Waddell, Garnish
■won In s gallop with certain Interests lu
• the bettlug ring playing Rogers' horse ns If
lit were all over but the formal Interview
| with the cashiers after the finish. In
'round words, the stewards concluded the
■race was a clever and comprehensive “shoo
||n M for Garnish. To make Garnish particu
larly fit for the Job, Rogers Is charged with
having "doped” hi* horse. Hence, under
the rules. Rogers and his outfit earned a
jlife expulsion from all the race tracks un
der the Jurisdiction of the Jockey Club.
Among the smart ^Insiders," Radtke,
thinking to propitiate the gods In his favor,
Is understood to have ’ "fcaned up" to the
Jockey Clyb. This sort of state's evidence
will probtbly save the Jockey. But what
the thinking men of the turf want to
know in connection with this unsavory In
cident Is a* to the reason why the stewards
passed over a hundred or so mow flagrant
Instances of turf trickery without so much
as a word of warning or the least Inquiry
as to the circumstances of existing condi
tions. only to wait to the eleventh hour
of the season and then to level their guns
upon a poor and comparatively unknown
owner from the West. Rome critics say
August Belmont, chairman of the Jockey
Club, who makes at least 42.000.000 every
year out of his New York rare track hold
ings, Is much disturbed by the scandal talk
In the newspapers this past summer con
cerning the coups and tho smart denis of
the big plungers.
Afraid of Now Laws.
The upstate riifnllsts heard about It and
a growing sentiment against ndtfng com
menced to threaten the stability of the
metropolitan turf and eouseqiipiitly Bel
mont's rich yielding race track enterprises.
"A stop to this grafting must Ik* made," the
chairman of the Jockey Club Is reported to
have said at the recent meeting of the stew
ards. Then Rogers was selected an the sue-1
riflee In order to frighten the big evil doers.
At Saratoga last August Fred Johnson, son
of a wealthy real estate oi>erator of the
Bronx, New York, started Aeronaut, ruling
at 8 to 5, and with the public down, hook.
Hue and sinker, Ferrlne gave the choice
such a jerk that he and the owner would
have been ruled off before Aerouaut. had
reached the stewarda' Inclosure to weigh
in had the scene heou laid nt the New Or
leans fair grounds with Frank J. Bryan lu
the staud. From that day to this notblug
has been heard of the nffnlr.
The exhibition Jqckey "Willie" Straw
gave with Electioneer In the Flatbush
■takes, and again the mysterious form dis
played by Fountalnbleu under Jockey
’Jack" Martin In the same event, are today
public scundals. More thuu one'club house
patron runs his horses Just to suit his
betting inclinations and regardless of the
public Interests or the ethics of the sport.
Hundreds of horses* are "doped" every
week, and the most barefaced "shooin'* are
common occurrences.
Some Muck-Raking.
■The form displayed by the horse Angler,
nwund by "Mattie" Corbett, a big club
house operator, Is another sore spot In the
hide of the average regular while In the
jumping races, Buttner was openly accused
In the public press of having manipulated
El Ciicliilo In n race where the rank and
fllo bettors lost thousands and thousands
of. dollars to this horse In a race, nt
Brighton Beach Inst July. Not a single
mem tier of the Nations T Hunf and Kleeplo-
chase Association was Iti the stewards'
stand nt the time. Hence the framers got
away with n disgraceful deni. Considering
all this, and more, too. the drastic treat
ment of Rogers Is somewhat Inconsistent,
though the crime deserves iho penalty Ini*
pvxed. It nppenrif the stewards nt sev
eral meetings about New York are mainly
gentlemen who serve In a "complimentary"
fashion. As a matter of fact-, with the
exception of Chris J. Fitzgerald. Frank'J.
Hryini and Clarence McDowell, there Is not
a single practical and exiiert racing man
In the stewards' stand from one sensou
end to another, t/uMI August Belmont
decides to adopt the Western Idea of em
ploying the most competent, thorough and
.lulmpeaelinble officials available, cost what
It may. he will always have scandal In New
York racing.

Several Changes Possible in Southern League Circuit
Homebody bus sprung this "cbange-iit-t.be-
Southern-League-cIrcult" story about one
month and a half too soon.
Is not considered the best form In
sporting circles to use that story before
the league meeting Is over.
What In the world nre baseball writers
going to do for material during tho-"dead
ly season" between January 1 ami Febru
ary 15, If nil the old reliable stories nre
used up whllo football Is nu available space
filler?
However, the story is going the rounds.
Even the Montgomery papers have takeu
notice of It, and It would not he surprising
If Mhrcveport fell for It liefore long.
It looks a hit, though, as If there might
really lie a change lu the preseut South
ern League circuit.
When a fight was on to get Shreve
port nud Little Rock out of the circuit,
they were both so strong for sticking that
It did not look ns though dynamite could
blow them out of the league.
When the Atlnuta team was In Little
Rock In August, the writer talked the mitt-
ter over wlTli the backers of the dub, and
not a mau of them would ndnilt that there
was any chance that Little Rock would not
Ik* represented lu the Southern League next
year.
But now times have changed. Howl
after howl Is going up from the Arkansas
backeis of Ihe worst financial proposition
In the league, and It looks ns though the
whole bunch was ready to quit.
Where Mike Comes In.
Maybe the flue Eyetnllau hand of one
M. J. "Phlnn" might In* detected at tho
tmttom of this somewhere. This exponent
of radiant geulnlity Is on the scene. What
he is doing on the scene nobody has said,
but It Is Inferred that he Is "laying low."
This Is a chronic occupntlou with Mike
during the chilly periods.
Also maybe he Is starting a bear move
ment against the stock of the Little Rock
club. It has been Insinuated that Mike
would like a franchise. Just why nnybody
should like one In Little Rock Is hard for
some of us to understand. But then, there
Is no net-minting for tastes.
If the present loml series of yells pushes
dowu tho price of the stock fur cuotigh.
Mike may emerge from underneath a rapid
buying movement with the majority of
stock lu his possession.
But Just now the talk Is that Chnttauooga
Is going io buy a franchise, mid It Is stated
with all posltlveucss that lrntli Little Rock
and Montgomery nre willing to sell.
That Johnny Hobbs and Hammy Strang
(Nlckliu) want a Southern League fmtieblsu
for Chnttauoogn has long been known.
Hammy Strang, wrote President Kavnnangh
to that effect last August, and be has not
changed hte mind.
Since Little Rock wants to sell and- Chat
tanooga wants to buy, there ought to bu
n "dicker."
But 4f the Little Rock franchise should
go to Chattanooga, what of Shreveport?
Think of the thing geographically.
With Little Rock and ‘Shreveport both
In the league. It Is sometimes possible for
a team which makes the trip to the "far
west” to break nearly even. Blit with only
one town west of the Mississippi river In
the league, every trip ncross the "Idg
brook" would he n dead loss—and a big loss
nt that.
One thing Is practically certain—v\hen
Little Rock goes out of the league, Shreve
port goes, too. m
Montgomery Going?
So about the only chance for a change
seems to be for Chattanooga to buy the
Montgomery franchise. This would not
shorten the Jumps much, but It might
help some.
It Is unfortunate that there cun not be
a new baseball deal through the South,
all the towns In tin* bnigtie could only go
back In the puck, be thoroughly mixed, nud
then let a new drawing take place It
would help an awful lot. As It Is, the throe
R rmnliieiit baseball orgaulzati.Mis of the
outli— the Southern, South Atlantic mid
Cotton States leagues—are poorly balanced.
All of them have cities lit their circuit
which nre too large for the league, nud all
of them have cities which nre too small.
An arrangement which would give the
Southern League nil the "Idg towns" would
be the best for nil. Even the smaller
leagues would be benefited by losing the
towns which are so large that they set a
pace which the others can not follow.
Any way., there Is the prospect that
there may'be some changes lu n circuit to
think about Ik*tween the present time and
the nnuunl Southern League meetlug on
December 15.

A few days ago the report went the
ronnds that the Tulane university of New

lntsrrollegiate Athletic Association nt the
end of tlte present football season. It
now transpire* that this rumor Is not cor

-The story printed In some of the news

(to not represent the great volume of senti

It Is the custom every year among the papers of the country to write stories of
the major league players who have goue buck to the minors, it w-nsu't on the
regular schedule of annual stories, but thnt was through an oversight. Tho Ilosttm
Journal seetus to have l**en the first In the field this year, nud the story from that
paper, which Is unusually—though not entirely—accurate, appears below:
Each succeeding year secs ball players
who were former major league stars drift
back Into company not so fast as the Na
tional ami Amerlcnu Leagues and American
Association. Mnuy of the "old guard" have
passed forever from the diamond arena,
and only n few of the old-timers are still
In ton-notch company. Old Pop Anson Is
still there with the good*, but Gore, I’fef-
fer, Dnlrymplc, Williamson. “Silver" Flint
ami others who constituted the great Chi
cago tcum of years ago are out of the
ruuuiug.
Dan Breathers still does some playing.
"Parson" White, who did much to make
the old Detrolts famous, has passed 1m-
yoml his usefulness on the bull field;
Ibu-k Ewing Is out of the running; Van
ffuitren has passed out of It. nud u host
of others who helped to make the fame
of the nntlonnl game, but are now memo
ries only, might also Im* mentioned.
In th* 8outh*rn League.
The Southern league seems to he almost
a Mecca for these old-time stars. For a
number of yours past there luts hoch a
good sprinkling of those old-timers i-g
the South, ‘but ninny of them have pre
ferred to retire from the game than drop
their prestige. "Tacks" Parrott, once a
big league star. Is now playing lu the
Cotton States League, while "Big Injun"
Xorcuin, nt one time a prominent figure
on Washington’s IItie-up, Is now doing
.stunts with the Augusta team, lu the
South Atlautlc League.
It seems of ItttP as though niaqy of these
fornmr great otiea have overcome their
antipathy to slower company, at least so
far ns the Southern League is concerned.
For the past four years, Theodore Brelten-
