BEANTOWN SPORT WILL BACK
MacLEAN TO BEAT WALTHOUR
Says Boston Boy Will Win the 15-Mile Prelimi
nary Race.
New York, Dec. I.—Hugh Mac Lean,
the sturdy Boston pace follower, who
has been matched to race Bobby Wal
thour next Saturday night in the flf
teen-mlle race for the motor-paced
championship of the world, will not
lack for backing when he toes the
scratch with the blond-haired South
erner.
Sport Sullivan, who is the leading
sporting celebrity of Boston, and who
makes a large book on the baseball
games during the summer in Boston,
Is coming here to back Mac Lean for
any amount against Walthour.
Mac Lean has arranged to have
Charles Turville pace him in his race
against the Southerner, and is now
training at Charles River Park and on
the roads in the vicinity of Boston for
the event. From the Boston boy’s ac
count of himself, he will be in tip-top
condition by Saturday night. Here is
what he has to say regarding his train
ing:
"At the present time I am riding
from fifty to seventy-five miles over
PURCHASES PEDLAR FOR $355.
Kalxer Bought 17-Year-01<1 Stallion
Who Once Sold for
New York, Dec. I.—Joseph Kaiser,
who developed and sold to J. P. Mor
gan the variously named show horse
King, alias Harmony, alias High
Tide, picked up another prospective
prize winner at the Fasig-Tipton sale
of trotting stock in Madison Square
Garden to-day, when he paid $335 for
the 17-year-old stallion Pedlar (2.18V4),
by Electioneer.
This horse was purchased many
years ago by George B. Inches of Bos
ton to be used as a sire of carriage
horses. He was not a great success
as a sire, but he is a typical coach
horse himself, and, despite his age, it
is possible that he will be playing the
part of a high-stepping hackney in
heavy harness at the horse show next
year. Gov. Leland Stanford, who <bred
him, received $25,000 for Pedlar in 1889.
Several colts by Pedlar brought higher
prices than the old horse commanded.
High prices were not numerous at to
day's sale, although nearly Everything
of real merit brought about all it was
worth. In the afternoon the bay trot
ting mare Kittle Glltner fetch
ed the top price, $1,135. She was
(bought by S. R. Walter of Summit, N.
J. The mare is credited with a private
trial of 2:11%. She was in the consign
ment of Cyril Laurler of Montreal,
■who is retiring as a breeder and turf
man. Gazette (2:07%), the 17-year-old
pacing stallion, at the head of the stud,
brought $6lO.
At the evening sale the pacing stal
lion Locanda (2:03%), consigned by L.
M. Borden, was knocked down for $530.
The buyer was Walter J. Snyder. Lo
canda has started in fifty-one races,
twenty of which he won.
LOU DILLON IS TO
GO TO BUDD DOBLE.
Veteran (liamplon-Maker to Care
for the Turf Queen.
Lou Dillon, 1.58%, queen of the trot
ting turf and owned by C. K. G. Bil
lings of Chicago and New York, will be
shipped to California to the veteran
champion-maker, Budd Doble, who will
carefuly winter her and prepare her
for her 1905 exhibitions and matinee
work.
Mr. Doble long ago drove Dexter,
2.17%, and later Goldsmith Maid, 2.14,
to world's records, and in 1892 gave to
Nancy Hanks her low-wheel sulky rec
ord of 2.04, which was afterwards sup
planted by the 2.03% of Alix.
He has been in retirement for some
years, although in 1903 he raced his
young horse, Kinney Lou, 2.07%, in the
East. At the Empire City meeting that
year Kinney Lou won a sensational
stake event, defeating a crack lot of
trotters, Including John Taylor, that
had won the SIO,OOO M. and M. stake
at the Detroit meeting.
Presumbaly it is because Trainer
Millard Sanders is under engagement
to handle the youngsters from J. H.
Shuts’ big farm at Portchester, all by
Axworthy, the star sire of 1904, that
Mr. Billings changes trainers at this
time, as Sanders broke and developed
the great mare and has always had to
do with her fitting and public exhibi
tions, save at the Cleveland matinees,
and in the two races for the Memphis
Cup in which she participated.

REPORTER AS TURF OUTLAW.
Ban Plncetl on Newspaper Man at
New Orleans Laxter Removed.
New Orleans, Dec. I.—Richard D.
Walsh, who came here as the sport
ing representative of a St. Louis aft
ernoon paper and who has been do
ing the work to which he was assign
ed, was told to-day by President Bush
that under the rules of the Western
Jockey Club the privileges of the ti’ack
must be denied him. Walsh was at
one time private secretary to Marcus
Daly, and was for a long time a resi
dent of Chicago.
While doing newspaper work in St.
Louis last spring he was offered the
associate judgeship at the Union Jock
ey Club’s track and he accepted it.
At the close of the season he return
ed to his newspaper job and was sent
here to report the races.
The idea in St. Louis seemed to be
that Walsh was being made a scape
goat. by the Tilles-Cella-Adler gam
bling syndicate, which had six books
in the local ring.
The rule against Walsh was modified
three times before the day’s races were
over. The indignation of his fellow
reporters had the effect of restoring
to him the privileges of the track on
the payment of the usual stipend. Lat
er he was informed that the price of
admission would be reduced to a mere
formality. By noon to-morrow he will
be restored to full privileges.
President Bush says he is not re
sponsible for Imposing a disability up
on Walsh. He was expected to do
something in Walsh's case, and, being
‘a respecter of rules, he did it. The
outlaw rule, however, has not been
invoked against a few persons, who
have been reclaimed by the St. Louis
syndicate since the close of the St.
Louis season.
WILL LARRY MAKE A
SUCCESSFUL MANAGER?
Critics Believe the Greet Lajole
Will Bea Failure.
The wisdom of making Napoleon La
joie manager of the Cleveland base
ball teum is greatly doubted by fans
generally.
He is undoubtedly one of the great
est players there is. but admittedly
was a poor captain last year. He did
not begin to get the work out of his
mighty hitters that he should have.
It is not to be presumed that his man
agerial career will be any more scln
tilatlng than was his captaincy.
But Fred Buelow. the catcher, takes
a most rosy view of the Clevelunds’
chances. He savs: "Lajole will start
his managerial career with a winner.
I believe that the only thing we need
to win the flag next year is good luck
with our pitchers. The showing of
Hess and Rhoades late In the season
looks mighty good for next year, and

MRS. ALDRED THREATENED
BY NEGRO WITH KNIFE.
She Screamed, a Crowd Collected
and the Negro Was Captured.
Davisboro, Ga.. Dec. 1. —About noon
to-day Ben Hunt, colored, about 17
years old, who had just served a term
on the chaingang for breaking into a
warehouse here, went to the home of
Mrs. A. W. Aldred. While there she
engaged him to cut some wood this
evening. Jjater, she says, her room
door opened. She looked up, saw Ben
and asked him what he wanted. He
made no reply, tout displayed a knife
and advanced towards her. She arose
and called out and beat the negro
with a waiter. He ran out and went
towards the swamp, she following and
calling for help.
Very soon quite a lot of men and
boys, with guns and pistols, were
scouring the swamp for Hunt. He ran
up to J. T. Burgamls and Inquired who
they were looking for. When told they
were looking for him, he broke to run.
John Davis levelled his gun and made
him stop. He was then taken to Mrs.
Aldred, who had no hesitancy In Identi
fying him. A warrant was sworn out
for him and he was committed and
sent to Sandersvllle Jail. He was wet
from his neck down, where he had run
through the swamp.
Mrs. Aldred says he did not sipeak
or offer to put his hands on her, or
give any reason for being In her room,
but Just advanced towards her with
knife drawn, and looked defiantly at
her.
Mrs. Aldred is a widow with two
small ohildren, who were at school,
leaving her alone during school hours.
There was considerable excitement
over the matter for a while, and some
talk of lynching Hunt was heard, but
Mrs. Aldred expressed herself as want
ing the law to take its course.

SITUATION GROWS ACUTE.
StraKßle Rftnnn Mnnnfnctnrers
and Operatives at Fall River.
Fall River, Mass., Dec 1. —After more
than four months the struggle be
tween the local cotton manufacturers
and the union operatives, who are on
a strike, appears to be becoming
acute.
The situation is due mainly to the
determined efforts of the manufac
turers to shatter the union forces.
This is the third week since the mill
gates were reopened, after being closed
for sixteen weeks, in connection with
the effort to break the strike. Con
lllcting claims are made by both
sides as to the result of the move, but
It Is apparent that several thousand
non-union hands have gone to work.
The union members as a body, how
ever, are still holding out. The
manufacturers figure that the strike
will gradually wear away as winter
advances.
The unions are receiving assistance
from other mill towns, where it is
feared that a failure of the Fall River
strike would mean a general re
duction of wages In the cotton mills
of the North. Twenty-two additional
collectors have been sent from Fall
River this week to the Middle and
Western states.
