Champion Pacers to Clash for Third „, Time At Grand Rapids,. r' Miohigan.

LEXINGTON, Ky., Oct. 17.—Horaemen are a unit in the belief that the match race set for October 21 at Grand Rapids between the world's champion pacers, Directum 1, 1:58, and William, 2 00. will be the most notable affair of its kind ever staged, and all of them are of the opinion that if the weather is at all favorable faster time than ever has been made in a pacing race will be put on the books.

When Directum paced the Lexington track in 1:59% in the third heat of his race for the Tennessee purse it wa» plain his form right now is superior even to that he showed when his record of 1:5-8 was made at Columbus. It has been claimed that the condition oi the Columbus track has a good deal to do with enabling Directum 1 to put up a 1:68 record, but the Lexington track is precisely the same sort of footing as at Grand Rapids, and the mile in 1:59%, paced right on top of two other fast ones made necessary to win those heats, Bhows that the stallion now is not only in better form and has more speed on tap than when he paced at Grand Rapids, but also is proof to horsemen that in the return match at the Michigan city, the track will be no handicap.

This also is the view taken by Dr. S. E. Dodson, who journeyed to Lexington to arrange the match, and he is Arm In the belief that the coming race will outclass all previous affairs of the sort from every angle.

Both Owner* Confident.

The owners of both Worses are supremely confident. The William people point to the fact that their horse beat the other stallion at "The Rapids," and ceemed to have something on him at every stage of the contest, but the Directum I folks only Bmlle when there is any talk of beating their horse. The 1:59% mile iji a third heat here over a 1 duplicate of the Grand Rapids track has shown them their champion does not have to have a track made to order for him, and they evidently expect to win In straight heats. Many good horsemen are sure thp.t with a good day and track the winning horse not only will have to best two minutes, but that the pacing record, 1:58, will

glimmering. Both horses now are at Lexington and dispatches from that point state that a lot of people will Journey from the Kentucky town after the meeting there is ended to the Michigan city in order to close the season by witnessing what promises to be a race that will live forever In turf annals. The feeling of rivalry In the camps of the champion pacers is real and intense, and as both contestants are stallions much more than the mere money involved, or the record that will be made, depends on the outcome of the Grand Rapids battle. Each will enter the stud next spring, and as the get of a world's champion horse at any gait commands fancy prices It never will do for one of that sort to be beaten if there is any way of escaping such a fate.

Greatest Pace Ever.

Grand Rapids positively is assured of the greatest harness race ever arranged, and horse lovers from all parts of the land will be there to see It.

Already betting on the big race has beg un between partisans of the horses, ana at Lexington, where all the harness horse lovers have gathered this week, iS'tretasip.dous amount of money will be wagered a week before the star pacers

to the post. The men who fancy Directum I point to his recent victory over William and his race record of 1:58, but on the other hand plenty of good Judges claim that William was a shade oft form at Columbus, yet in spite of that handicap forced his opponent to beat all. world's records for racing, and argue that he will show this in the Grand Rapids race by winning right off the reel. While no absolute data on the point can be secured, It is a matter of current gossip at Lexington that parties close to each of the horses practically have agreed on a side bet of $5 ,000 each, which would make a t6tal of (15,000 to be raced for by two horses, that fact alone making the contest of worldwide Interest.

DILLON-BROWN FAKING CHARGE IS RIDICULOUS

By Ed. W. Smith. (Famous Referee).

CHICAGO, Oct. 17.—Things that do the boxing game little good bob up now and then, and one of the disagreeable features arose in St. Louis Wednesday night, when an inexperienced referee stopped the contest betwen Jack Dillon end George Brown and called it "no contest" after three rounds, because "the men were not trying."

Not having seen the affair. It is impossible to write of it as one would like to, but, from a full knowledge of the men, the charge that they faked it looks ridiculous on the face of It.

If you've ever seen Brown battle you would know at once that it would be utterly out of reason for him to put the brakes on himself. As for Dillon, I regard him as a man of integrity all the way through.

Dillon Is Intensely ambitious. The last time I talked with him was in Vincennes, Ind ^immediately after a contest with Gedrge Brown, which I refereed, and he told me then that It was his life's aim to prove to the world that he not only Is a real middleweight, but the best of all of them. Just starting out on a season's campaign, he outlined his plans as carrying out a line of attack that ultimately would get him matches with George Chip, Jimmy Clabby and Eddie McGoorty out on the Pacific coast. He expressed every hope that a series of short encounters in the middle west would so fit him for the longer battles he expects to get out west that he would be able to win every match that he made.

Dillon

THE SPIRIT OF *7©

MEDALLION WHISKEY

Sincere.

And Dillon was sincere witn every word of it. There was the real ring to his talk, and a man In that frame 01 mind isn't going to enter into a fake with Brown. To begin with, he doesn't have to. He Is Brown's boxing master.

and the Greek's only hope with him is to outrough him. This Jack knowns to a certainty. And if you asked Brown to change his style and "pull" his punches he would be in such a mess that a blind man could see it.

Brown isn't an educated man, but he is worldly wise and is in honest and capable hands. Had the St. Louis referee been a little more patient there is little doubt that these men, both rather slow beginners, would have shown the fans a corking contest I have seen three of their engagements and each one was better than the other.

TERRE HAUTE TRIBUNE

WON MAGNATE GOT WINNING TEAM CHEAP

World's Champion Braves Only Cost Their Owner In Neighborhood of $75,000.

It cost Jim Gaffney less than 175,000 to assemble his Boston Braves ball team.

He could get about |200,000 for the outfit If he placed It on the market today And, Included in that $75,000 is an item of ?25,000 that he paid to Jchnny Evers, so that It will be seen that he got his other twenty-four players for $50,000—an average of afjout $2,000 each. "Big Bill" James, the star twlrler of the Braves, went to the Braves from Seattle. He cost Owner Jim' a few thousand dollars. If Gaffney wanted to market his twenty-two-year-old pitching phencm today he probably could get $20,000 for him. Dick Ru•lolph cost Gaffney but very little, yet Gaffney wouldn't have much trouble getting $10,000 to $15,000 for his midget twirler.

Schmidt, the huge first sacker of tho Braves, went to the Braves from the International league. He had a great fielding record there, but was not figured as much of a hitter. Gaflfney bought him for a trifling sum. Gaffney could get four times the old price for Schmidt now.

Connolly, the slugging outfielder of the Braves, came at a bargain prlcv So did Catcher Whaling, who "hailed from the Northwestern league. Gowdy, the best young catcher in the National league, oost but a few thousand.

Mann, the fast center fielder of the Braves, was one of the few players who cost real money. His purchase price was about $5,000. Josh Devore was purchased for a few thousand. "Red" Smith, whose third basing has been a great help to the Braves, was purchased from Brooklyn at a report-# ed price of $4,500. Herbert Moran, the outfielder, who came from Cincinnati, is said to have cost the Braves about $2,500.

Davis, the young spltball pitcher that Manager Stallings touts as a coming wonder, was purchased for a song, as were several other of the Boston recruit pitchers. Otto Hess, the oldest member of the team, cost but little.

Whitted and Cather went to Boston via the trade route, being an exchange for "Hub" Perdue, the pitcher.

George Tyler, tht southpaw mainstay of the Braves, went to the Braves several years ago from the vilnors. The price paid for him was around $2,000.

IVack'i Team Cheap.

Connie Mack, who assembled a championship team with an outlay around $25,000 and Gaffney, who turned the trick with a $50,000 expenditure, exclusive of the $25,000 that he gave to Evers as a bonus, are not the only instances of cheap ball teams winning pennants. This happening has come to be the rule instead of the exception. The Cubs didn't cost their owners much money. Most of the players were brought from the bushes, without any big outlay of money, and developed while with the Cubs.

The Detroit Tigers won three pennants, and not one of the men cost the owners much over $3,000. Ty Cobb cost $700—and the fellow who sold him thought he was "skinning" the Detroit folks when he turned the trick. The Piratos weren't a very expensive out fit.

The Giants probably cost more money than any other team that has won the pennant during the last six or eight years. Marquard cost $11,000. That was the highest price paid for any player, but many other Giants cost sums ranging between $4,000 and $7,000.

It didn't cost the owners of the Bos ton Red Sox very much money to assemble tlieir 1812 championship tea-m. Most of the players came through draft or purchase from the smaller leagues at a slight cost.

And so the moral in this yarn seems to be. If you want a pennant winner collect a lot of cheap priced ball players.

JETT HUSTLERS COP,

Tho Jett Hustlers defeated the W. S. Rea school football team Saturday afternoon at Tenth street and Indiana avenue by a score of 26 to 0. The game was called in tho last half on account of Tcmpleton receiving an injury to his leg. The Hustlers easily outclassed their opponents. Van Horn and Woody each made three touch downs in the first half. Tho Jett eleven would like to arrange gaines with any fast grade school teams in the city.

"Rabbit" Maranville 1,000 as

BOSTON, Oct. 17.—"Rabbit" Maranville, the idol of all baseballdom, is batting for 1,000 in the lovers' league.

In fact, the diminutive shorstop of the Braves leads the league, according to Miss Elizabeth H. Shea, Springfield, and Miss Shea ought to know.

To a reporter the demure little lady admitted that she and "Rabbit" will steal away somewhere and be married.

Then, reluctantly, she told the whole story of her romance and the Boston idol and unfolded her plan to keep the little fellow in "trim" for another sensational season In 1915. "He's a little love-maker," declared Miss Shea when pressed for 'Rabbit's' greatest accomplishment off the ball field. "In fact, I should say he was a better love-maker than he Is a ball player If you should ask me, and you Boston people know how good that is."

Just about five minutes' conversation with Miss Shea convinced the reporter that the young lady was "head over heels" In love with the Braves' youthful mainstay.

At every mention of her admirer's wonderful achievements on the ball field she blushed happily and didn't attempt to conceal her delight.

Once she could get her mind off the "Rabbit" Miss Shea went on with her story.

GETS SECOND WITH CINCY

Manager of Reds Not "Canned" Despite Club's Record of Nineteen Straight Defeats.

CINCINNATI. O., Oct. 17.—In spite of the fact that the Cincinnati Reds established a new major league baseball record for consecutive games lost by losing nineteen in a row, "Charley" Herzog is said to be sure of his job as manager of the club next year.

Starting the season with a rush that bid fair to keep the Reds within hailing distance of the pennant throughout the campaign, the team suddenly broke and toppled downward with an appalling headlong slide. From a position as a contender for the leacl it slid to the cellar, a fall second only to that memorable glide taken by the Pittsburgh Pirates.

But for the first time in many years the famous Cincinnati board of direc tors saw behind the form of the man ager and realized that it was not Herzog's fault that the team fell down. It realized that Heraog had tacklcd an almost hopeless Job when he was made manager last winter. He did not have any particularly good material to work with, but until Armande Marsans quit the team flat he had the club well up In the fight.

When the Cuban outfielder decided to cast his lot with the Federal league it made a big hole in both T.I15. offensive and defensive power of the tearn—a hole that has not been filled. It was the turning point, and from that time the Reds began their crescent in the National league standing.

Herzog said recently: "Cincinnati has had a bad year, but I am far from being discouraged. I know It is old stuff to sav wait until next year, but I feel sure that 1915 will tell a different story. Keep your eye on the Reds once the next campaign begins."

"I am 20 years old," she said, **and every minute of my life for two years has been spent In learning how I could make my future husband happy. Mr. Stallings, who thinks a lot of Walter, told me once that the Braves' chances were In my hands. "You must keep him happy," he charged me, and I have tried. I just knew he would belp win that world's series. "Long before the 1915 season opens I shall have Walter in good spirits and in fine physical trim. I snail Keep hous? for him myself, and, If you believe me, I can boll water without burning the bottom of the kettle, and I can make fudge." "But do you think that boiled water and fudge will win the pennant for the Braves in '15?" the reporter questioned. "Oh, but I can make bread, roast beef and get up a whole dinner—If I have to. I prepare the Thanksgiving dinner at my sister's last year, Just to show 'Rabbit' that I could cook, and, anyway, he kissed the cook. You know what that means. "We are going to be married soon, and if Walter goes on the stage this fall I shall travel with him next spring, too, I shall go south with the club, and if our plans do not

astray,

I shall chase around the circuit. I shall love It, I know."

FEDS SEEK TO RUIN CARDS.

The Federal league certainly is trying to wreck the Cardinals, who by their sensational race this year, made the St. Louis Federal league team a dead one at the gate.

Rebel Oakos, former Card, who is manager of the Pittsburgh Feds, is trying to induce Pitcher Harry Sallee and Catcher Frank Snyder to Jump. Should they mt'ke the hurdle Huggins' battery department will be all shot to pieces, as Pitcher Polly Perritt and Catcher Ivv Wingo already have jumped. Sallee and Snyder are said to ho wlllinar to leave Hue In the lurch.
