New York, Jnn. 30—Judge Landis
had a hearing in his Commodore suite
; over the ease of "Jocko” Conion, for
mer Harvard shortstop, who was
: signed recently by the Boston Braves,
j The Rochester club of the Interna
tional league has put in a claim for
the player's services, alleging that he
accepted their terms before he signed
with the Braves.
President John Conway Toole of the
International league and Walter Hap
good, half owner at Rochester, pre
sented the arguments on behalf of
that club. They told Landis they had
been in touch with Conlon a week or
more before the Braves annexed him.
I Conlon. they say, sent Rochester a
telegram asking them to call a certain
telephone number in Boston if they
: had decided to accept his terms. The
club alleges that It called this number,
talked with Conlon and agreed on
terms. The next day he was an
nounced as the latest member of the
Braves.

Old-Time Chicago Racing
Season May Bloom Oat in May
Chicago, Jan. 30.—An old-time
Chicago lacing season is in the mak
ing and may blossom out in all its
glory as early as next May. Only
a war among promoters can block
the right of way, and there are indica
tions that this will be averted.
First steps have been taken in the
organization of a parent racing body,
including in its membership the more
'prominent sportsmen in Chicago and
downstate Illinois. Its ohject will be
to take the state racing situation Into
its own hands, work for the passage
of a bill legalizing pari-mutuel wag
ering, and to see that the sport is
conducted on the highest possible
plane.
Along with announcement of these
organization plans comes word that
the Washington Fark Breeders’ as
sociation. separate entirely from the
parent racing body, plans to enter
tain 1.000 guests at a Derby Dinner
to be held on the night of February
10. Then, to top off the announce
ments, officials of the Illinois Jockey
club, which is in control at Haw
thorne, have selected May 26 as the
opening date of a 25-day meeting
there this season.
This progress has been made in
the face of a squabble over a Wash
ington Park Jockey club charter held
by William E. Golden.
First one organization and then an
other declared it had come into pos
session of this charter. It is said to
have carried the rights to conduct the
American derby. But the charter
is the Golden, hands, and plans were
under way to operate without the
Washington I’ark name, and it is even
possible, that when Chicago’s great
derby comes back It will carry a dif
ferent name.

Omaha's Stand
on Draft Is
Surprise Here
Stormy Session Expected by
Local Fans Proves Calm and
Harmonious—No Opening
Game at League Park.
The ease with which President A1
Tearney aligned Western league cluh
owners against the major league draft
plan came as a big surprise to Omaha
baseball followers, who had expected
a stormy session at the Kansas City
meeting yesterday.
The fact that Detroit owns a block
of Omaha stock and the St. Louis
American club the controlling interest
in the Tulsa Oilers, and also that
Denver is seeking the favor of John
McQraw of the Giants, led local base
ball followers to believe that the ma
jors' optional player scheme would
receive more consideration.
The Sioux City franchise transfer
to Pueblo failed to materialize be
cause the Pueblo reprsentatives of-l
fared onlv $.1,000 for tlie club, instead
of the $21,000 they were supposed to
raise.
Instead of the transfer, the Western
league will operate the cluh in Sioux
City, probably under the business
management of Tom Fairweather, for
mer Des Moines president. The
Western will pay ''('hick” Mattick and
Harry Ells, owners of the franchise,
a sunj approximating $12,500.
The season in the Western will open
April 18 in Oklahoma City, Tulsa. St.
Joseph and Sioux City, and the sched
ule was left in the hands of a com
mittee, which will submit the drafts
to President Tearney. who will submit
them to the owners for a mail vote.
Ranks Knepper Third.
Rudolph Knepper of Sioux City.
TtansmiBsissippi golf champion, has
been ranked third among the ama
teur players of the United States
in a list compiled by Chick Evans.
Chick fails to include himself and
ranks them as follows: .less Sweet

$2.50 Golf Fee
May Be Named
Proponents of an annual municipal
golf fee of $2.50 today expressed the
opinion that their "battle Is two-thirds
won."
The muny foe ordinance today Is
in the hands of a committee for re
vision, and will he presented to the
1 commission again next Monday, when
I it is expected to pass without much
opposition, according to those who
i have been active in the fight against
a $10 fee, as proposed by Park Com
1 missioner Joe Hummel in his original
ordinance.
Dr. H. W. Weeks, president of the
newly organized Municipal Golf asso
ciation, declared that sufficient funds
could bP obtained from the $2.50 fee
to maintain all three links in fair con
dition.
"There were 4.ROO playing permits
issued last year," said Weeks. "At ,
least 3,000 of these will continue to
play despite the muny charge. This j
would net $7,500 at the start,
"These figures are the minimum, !
there will he more than 3,000 golfers
! take out permits, and the charge of
; 25 cents a round for those who do
not pay the annual fee will net several
thousand more during the season."

"When the BentonHerzog contro
versy was finally ended, Herzog asked
me to write hint two letters of ap

ters and sent them to Herzog. He got
everything that he asked for, and
since then he has made this fact pub
lic to show that his name was cleared.
The public lias never believed other
wise nnd the National league has
never made any statement reflecting
