RACING FOR CHICAGO

Illilli IS P!

AND

DPOSED NOW

The proposed revival of racing for Chicago and vicinity took a leap out of the talk stage yesterday when two of the associations which have been hinting at a return of the "sport of kings" made definite announcements of their plans. Magnus Flaws, the local horseman, who Is engineering the mixed harness and running meeting which will be given at Ingalls park during the week ending August 28, announced that the Joliet meeting would furnish $18,000 in purses for the horsemen. It was stated that $15,000 of this amount would fall to the lot of the followers of the trotters and pacers and that theremainder would go to the runners. It had been understood among a coterie of local horsemen for several weeks that an attempt to pull off a running meeting would be made in connection with the Great Western circuit races at the Joliet track, but yesterday's announcement was the first official

word on the subject. According to the statement issued by Flaws, there will be harness races every day of the week save Saturday with two or three running races interspersed. On Saturday, August 28. the last day of the meeting, the runners will hold

full sway and a card of six races will be offered to tempt the hungry racing fans of Chicago to the track. It was admitted by one of the men associated with Flaws in the venture that the running events during the Great Western gathering were to be but a feeler and that in the event that they proved a success there would be a thirty days' meeting for runners exclusively at Ingalls park beginning August 30. It was also admitted that there would

be betting. Whether the wagering

would bo under the oral system now in vogue in the east or under the poolsellin gsystem or open bookmaking was not stated. Of course, the success of the meeting depends on whether or not betting will be permitted at the track. Wagers have been made for years at the harness races throughout the state and it is argued that the proposed meeting of runners will not be disturbed provided it Is not run on too elaborate a plan. If the Ingalls park venture proves a success it will be the first racing held In the vicinity of Chicago since the closing down of the sport at the locai tracks In the fall of 1904, when all courses were closed, following the ending of the game at Washington park.

Next Sunday the local team goes to Valparaiso, where they hope to win, as Valparaiso has a verystrong team this year. The fare to Valparaiso is 50 cents a round trip on Sundays only, so anybody wishing to go along should be at the Nickel Plate depot and take the 11:25 train and they can get back at 8:16 at night.

Says Papke 19 Not Easy Man to Whip, Especially With Damaged Hands. San Francisco. July 8. Stanley Ketchel may drop the middle-weight class altogether as the result of his bout of the 4th with Billy Taplte. The champion freely admits that it is commencing to tell on him when he tries to reduce to the limits of his class, and it

I is likely that he will blossom out as

a full-fledged heavy-weight. This would mean that he will have to drop his middle-weight title. "Outside of Jack Johnson there Is nobody likely to meet him where the weight would be any disadvantage," said Willus Britt today. "Jeffries is not anxious to enter the ring again and would be glad to have Stanley take on the bout with Johnson in his place. Jef

fries does not like to train and nothing

would please him better than to have

Ketchel take up the burden of licking

Johnson In his place. If Stanley can

hold his own in the heavy-weight class, he can make more money as champion

ot that division than by boxing as a

middle-weight. Jeffries and Johnson

are the only two men In sight who look really dangerous. The Kaufmans and Barrys would not give over much troub

le.

Britt and Ketchel both are Incensed over the criticism which has continued

to follow his latest bout with Papke.

Anybody wno tninKs fapke is an

easy man to stop has another guess coming," said Ketchel today. "lie can stand an awful lot of pounding and doesn't know what the word quit means. When you consider that both

my hands were disabled and the weight was really lower than I ought to be asked to make, I don't see where any

comment can come in. I beat Papke and that's all there is to it."

In a thirty-six hole match for 100

a hole Ralph Hoagland of the River

side Golf club defeated his opponent, J.

D. Cady of the Rock Island Golf club.

8 up on the Rock Island Arsenal links

yesterday. Cady, who was in poor form owing to a soreness in his right hand, started the match by winning the first

two holes in the morning round, but

after that he steadily dropped behind, and at the end of the eighteen holes he

was 2 down. Cady had worse luck in the afternoon, and frequently complained of the soreness of his hand, ; although he insisted upon playing the j match out, and finally wound up at j

the thirty-sixth hole 8 down and owing ' Hoagland $800. There is to be a re-

turn match, however, on the Riverside

links July 25, when Cady declares that j he will be able to eliminate his pres- j ent handicap and to have Hoagland j down on the final hole. '

PIRATES NABBED IT Pittsburg, Pa., July 8. These champion cubs now wish they had not stopped off here yesterday for another look at the manifold beauties of Forbes field. The inhospitable pirates, while showing Chance and company the sights, trimmed the Chicago outfit, S to 2, mostly through main strength with the bat. In the absence of Mr. Reulbach, the ptomaine kid, the cub leader was forced to hook up Hagerman. as Mordecia Brown likewise was among the absent. At times it was a relief to turn from Tommy Leach to the less hectic scenery in the shape of B. & O. coal cars and the Carnegie library. Those things are all right in the way, but Tommy could make a better noise in the presence of Invited g-uests by not swatting so much.

CUBS TO PLAY EAST

STARS

NO GAME 9 STORMS St. Louis, Mo., July 8. No two games yesterday nine rainstorms. The white box and browns were prevented from their scheduled double clash owing to Inclement weather, and inclement Is the mildest word any one applies to the weather down here. A succession of rainstorms, each hotter than the other, added to the forces of old General Humidity and kept the teams from playing. Both clubs were on the grounds, ready to play at least one game, when another downpour, which wrecked Louie Comiskey's new straw bonnet, put an end to the last hope. The browns were anxious to play. Having violated the rules of the league by only playing one Tuesday, when they should have played two, they wanted to get In at least one yesterday to save them from the wrath of Ban Johnson.

Reulbach Out of Game for 2

Weeks and Brown for 7 Days More.

Bad news for the cubs and cheering information for the pirates and the giants came from the homes of Ed Reulbach and Mordecai Brown, the star

pitchers of the world champs, yester

day. The cubs will be forced to battle

twirlers, for a fortnight more, and

without the services of big Ed, who at present Is the best of the champion's twirlers, for a fortnight more, and

Brown will not be back on the Job for

a week.

Reulbach was able to leave his bed yesterday for the first time since he

was attacked by ptomaine poisoning

He looked anything but a well athlete.

According to his doctor, he will not be

able to leave tne nouse for three or

four days and it will take the big pitcher about ten clays more to get back In

shape.

Brown when seen yesterday declared

that he would be unable to join the

club for a week on account of the con

dition of hi3 wife, who recently under

went an operation at a South Side hos

pital. Mrs. Brown, while not in a ser

ious condition, showed no marked lm

provement yesieraay, and the grea

three-fingered twlrler will stay by he until she is well on the road to recovery.

The cubs will have to go through the

Philadelphia and Boston Beries with

out their pitching mainstays, but It is

believed that both Reulbach and Brown

will be back cn the Job by the time the champs clash with the giants on the

Polo grounds.

ASK WAIVERS ON ALTROCK

Senators to Releasee Former Sox Star. Washington, D. C, July 8. Manager Joe Cantillon of the senators today asked waivers on Pitcher Nick Altrock. It is said that Boston and New York both have waived and that it is expected the rest of the clubs will. Altrock has been tried three times since the Washington club got him from the sox and has failed to deliver. He Is one of the veterans of the American league and reached the height of his career with the sox in 1906, when his clever work in the box helped materially to land them their league pennant and the world's championship. Cantillon also has asked waivers on Tom Hughes and Jesse Tannchill.

JACK JOHNSON IS CHOICE FOR BOUT Odds on Ketchel Bout Are No Longer Even Money. San Francisco. July 8. Jack Johnson has suddenly switched into favoritism as the result of the Ketchel-Papke bout here. Before the match Stanley's fine showing with Jack O'Brien and his general condition led to his being held at even money with the black man in their match of September. After the bout with Papke the odds dropped un

til Johnson is now favorite. Not much betting of Importance is recorded, but the shift simply shows the change in public sentiment. New York, July 8. Tn the various places where money is held by the proprietors on the outcome of important sporting events it was reported today that even money on Johnson was no longer obtainable. The men who have been posting $5 and $10 wagers all want good odds when they back Ketchel to beat him.
