BAfiE RALL lawmaker ho:ld once
more addres themselves to the tack
of devising effective measures for
dealing with th man who plays
for hi release. Few more proi-k- '
Ing problems confront the team owner and
manager. Of course tt tnks a illahnnur.i
bl man lo luaf or purpofely foil to nive
hl turn the brat there Is in '.ilm. but that
doesn't belie th fact that Borne players
arc mean enough to do this. Wlnm a
tam owner has paid hard ca?!i or traded
another player, the rinlvalrnt of cash, or
man and that nun refuses to play the
teat ball he ran. there ought to be some
way to reach him and makii him suffer
lor hie contempt Lhle conduct. At present
the rules appear to be lmidetitiu on thla
point. There la another aide to this ques
tion, however, which tonm owners will do
well to atudy. Doea It pay to force, a
player to Join a team against hla will?
Borne magnates . have had that question
brmieht hntne to thrm of late, with vital
force. At least one magnate In thla coun
try could answer It In the negative. Buch
action by him has proven to be a moat
disastrous mistake of Judgment, though
perfectly legitimate and legal. Law and
decency, though, cannot justify loafing.
A man, when he place his name to a con
tract, by that token bargalna to give hia
team the beat there Is In him, and no code
cf ethics or coursn of reasoning can war
rant, excuse or pajlate a willful and delib
erate violation of that agreement.
The week has been one of disappoint
ment for Omaha, but t litre may be reason
for believing that the team will regain Its
losses even agairuit the better clubs of the
league. Omaha's losing streak has con
tributed toward making the race In tho
Western league one of the most Interest
ing In its history. Saturday morning
three teams, Omaha, Lincoln and Sioux
City, were practically tied for first place,
Denver was but a fraction behind and
Pueblo and Des Moines were well vip in
their percentages for tallenders. Omaha,
after all, stUl has an even break and per
haps belter, for the management has been
enabled to find the places that need
strengthening and has set about the task
cf getting new material without the loss
bf further time. President Rourke never
aeemed more determined to win a pennant !
and that ought to give encouragement, to i
''ye of little faith." The loss of George
Graham has had the most disastrous effect j
on the team; the failure of Householder
to do what was expected of him has cost
dearly i the pitching stuff has been notably
Dff-color as a whole. But these things are
going to be remedied. Of course the bril
liant young Graham cannot bo w .oily sup
planted, In all probability, but It mum be
remembered that King has been doing
arrest work, and with another man to give
Captain Franck a needed rest, King might
fct shoved to short and the Infield strength
ened. It is hoped Fisher, tho new out
fielder, Will completely fill the bill. And
Other changes are yet on the tab.
The American team for the Olymp'ad has
gathered, and comparisons with records
mad by the foreigners who will compete
In the events at London give strong hopes
lor another American victory. In the
prints the Americans look strong; at the
middle distances and long distances the
team is not expected to mike much of a
howlng against the foreigners, who show
the greatest capacity for the long races.
The Marathon Is practically conceded to
England or Sweden, owing to the fact that
the beat Amorlcan runner for this distance
is not sessoned and will have to compete
with veterana. In the field events the
.American team has the advantage, and
will probably win enough points to bring
the total up to the top again. Singular
s It may seem to Americans, Sweden will
have the largest number of athletes at the
competition, and also presents the moat
formidable line up for the long distance
racea and will be a close comeptltor for the
prints. Germany will not make a very
atrong showing, nor will France. The dope
makes the Hat look like America, Sweden,
England and Belgium for the first four
places.
St. Louis Is agog with glee. Why not?
JJever a team did more consistent and per
latent work than the Browns are doing
right now. They have fought their wav
Into first plscs with a tenacity and dogged
(determination that serves only too well
to carry the mind back to those dear days
pf the '8n's, when the St. Louis Browns
fcs the "Four Time Winners," were the
torodlgy of the baae ball world. It would
be all the more realistic of those halysyon
slays If the Browns should win th Ameri
can and the Cubs the National league pen
Jiant and the two teams should meet In
the world's series. And wouldn't Charley
Comlskey, who led that team of the '80's
against Anson's White Box for the world's
rhampionahlp, find It Just a wee hit dif
ficult to bring himself to root for Chicago?
Wouldn't the pressure on past pride bn
almost more than present local spirit could
(withstand? Well, It would be Interesting
to see.
Much sympathy will go out to the Tale
Barsmari, Qrtswold, who collapsed through
ttervousnesa and cost his rrew Its chance
to win in the race against Harvard. The
young man waa In the pink of physical
gtondltlon, and was not overtrained, but he
realised too fully the great responsibility
placed upon him and his courage waa not
oqual to the trust. If he had been sud
denly called upon to meet the great emer
gency, little doubt exlata but that he would
have gone through flying, but th lung
train of contemplation was more than he
Could bear. Btrong men have often broken
flown under similar conditions, and that
k youngster should collapse Is not eepe
(tally to be wondered at. It Is an example
Df th strenuosily of modern spurt, and
Indicates th seal with which th college
boys go In for games.
Th Omaha Automobile club has made
good start and should continue Its good
work. Two events have been handled by
the club thla spring and both were un
Ouallfled successes. The hill climbing
contests on Decoration day were successful
both In point of sport and In the attendance.
The run given Thursday was also a great
success for It showed what could be done
on one of these runs when properly
bandied. The pace waa not too warm, the
frequent atopa gave the members of the
yarty a chance to get acquainted with each
Either and th trouble car in the rear In
sured a saf Jouney to all. An organi
sation like the Omaha Automobile club,
composed as It Is of th leading cltlsens
of th city, may wield a splendid Influence
In th community.
Horse racing Just to see which nag Is
the faster doesn't seem to appeal to either
th public or th owners. And still It was
argued th gam was necessary to Improve
th breed. Of sucker.

NT;V YORK. June 27 rraetlcul'.y all the
Orand Trlx rarrs are now on the Dieppe
course In France preparlnj foi t:-e big
race, it u understood that the entry list
of forty-seven cars, aires, y announced, is
to bo auginonted by pflst entries of full
teams of three ears esrh from the Rochet
Schneider and the Mors frtnrie. and al
ready th addition of a third Torthos car
has been made. The total number of com
pctitora already enl'sled for th two big
rarfs, the Grand Trtx and the volturette
content, reaches 114, the largest entry ever
received In France for race, and break
ing the world's record for entries. Nil
taro, Wagner and Lancia continue to bo
rgnrded as tnn most formidable team.
All three have been on th course for some
time In touring cars, hut none has yet
secured his racer. Heath, Farnam and
CIrsar, who will drive the Panhard trio,
have their new cars, and are dally on the
course, the new machine differing
maikedly from the peculiar looking cara
that competed and finished unplaced last
J ear. Sylez has been out for some time
with his Renault acer, and made a dis
tinctly favorable Impression with the car,
wl;'le Callols and Plmltrl have both
recently Joined the racing colony. The
Itenatilt cars look exactly the same as the
1907 cars, but arc In reality different. It
being totally in-.pcrslble to utilise the
or'itiln.il enrs under the changed regulations
adopted for this years race. Henerv Is
ri other driver who has Been practicing ror
ome time on the course, and has made
a good Impression, and his Bnn is now
practically tuned up ar.d reudy for the
trial. Klgal. Gabriel and Hautvast, who
will handle the Clement Bayard trio, have
also been on the road for more than a
fortnight, and their machines are In good
shape.
Monty lloberts la There.
Lewis Strang, with his American Thomas
car, made hia first appearance on the
course about couple of weeks sgo. The
Tir senre of Montagu Roberts with
the Thomas team attracted considerable
Attention, aa Roberts made a favorablo
Impression by his excellent showing In the
New York to Paris race. Strang was a
participant In last year's race when he
figured as Walter Christie's meehanlclsn
in the front drive car. which Christie took
abroad. The car did not make much of
an Impression, but both Christie and
Strang were popular and regarded as
capable drivers. Knepper, his mechanician,
has also had some raring experience
abroad, having sat with Herbert Lytle In
the Pope car In the Gordon Bennett race
of 190C. which is the only American machine
thot ever secured an offlclsl finish In a
European contest. The French manufac
turers have given the Coup de la Presse
the practical go-by this year, and the con
test, which will take place on August t and
4 over the Dieppe course. Is not likely to
srouse much Interest. There Is but one
foreign entry, the German Renswhlle. the
French firms entnred are thn e Peuguet.
three fotln and Deagottte. thre. De Ilnn,
three Oohron and a Westlngliouse Pens
has entered three cars, making sixteen In
all. Th fuel sllnwance for the race l
nineteen litres per hundred kilometres, or
about fifteen mile pr gallon. In the
small rsr event there are Only ten entries,
three Barllet. two Dc Dion, two Peuguel.
and one Vlnot. a Gladiator and a Rebour.
The smaller cars are allowed ten litre per
100 kilometre, or about twenty-eight miles
to a gallon. There Is a constdershle talk
of entrlei for the "anderbllt and the
Grand Prix races. It Is understood that
each of the Eurorean Automobiles clubs
has guaranteed an entry of six cars in the
Automobile Club of America' race so that
ther will be at least thirty rars In the
contest representing Europesn firms. It 1s
not expected" that there will be many, If
any entries from American manufacturers,
though It Is said that a number of private
owner have made inquiry regarding cars
for th race to represent America. There
Is talk of four foreign entries for the
Vanderhllt and the possibility of more. As
yet, however, the only entries thst have
been msde are thh Mercedes csr. made by
Mr. Graves, and the Mora car, made by
W. W. Bourke. There Is talk of a doxen
different American entries, but only two
hav been definite. These have been from
the Acme firm at Reading and from the
Chadwlck company, which will probably
enter a big six In the race.
TIGERS TO BE IN A BIG RACE
Princeton Will Have a Crew on
Thames or Hadeon.
NEW YORK, June 27. Princeton uni
versity will participate In either the Inter
collegiate rowing regattas at Poughkeepsle
or In the Thames regatta at New London,
next June. The rowing season has ended
on Carnegie lake, but the whole program
for next year has been mapped out. at.l
thla Is what's going to happen: Imme
diately after the beginning of the academic
year Constance S. Titus, who Is coaching
the Orange and Black as an amateur and
not for pay, will Issue a call for oarsmen
Princeton university within the last year
has been greatly strengthened as to
aquatic forces by the addition of about
twenty-eight scholars from . St. Paul's
school at Concord. N. II. At St. Paul's
rowing Is the only sport of any conse
quence. There Is a big body of water there,
and so numerous are the oarsmen that It
Is no uncommon thing to find a dozen
elght-oared crews take part In the school's
regatta. St. Paul's is a "prep" school for
Yale and Harvard and Princeton. The men
from St. Paul's who have entered Prince
ton are great athletes,- and know consid
erable about watermanship. It Is expected
that not fewer than 100 candidates will re
spond to Coach Titus' call. This will erble
him to get several freshmen crews. They
will work on the lake until late 'In the
fall, when a regatta will b held. Follow
ing this they will be placed on the ma
chines, and after a long siege of gymna
sium work they will be taken out to tha
open again the moment the Ice breaks.
Altnough Princeton is comparatively near
New York. It la am odd fact that the Ice
gets off Carnegie lake fully two weeks
before any other waters hereabout. There
will be constant service afloat until the
date of the commencement regatta. Fol
lowing this Titus will pit his best men
Into three shells, two eights snd a four.
and the three crews will be drilled for
either Poug'okeepiile or New London.
Although thst part of the program has
not yet been settled. It Is known that the.
powers that be favor the Orange and Black
going Into the contest against Yale and
Harvard. It Is pointed out thst such a
move would give Princeton a higher caste
In the acquatlc world. From a point of
popularity, however, th crews could do
no better thsn to go to Poughkeepsle.
RACING GAME DEAD IN NEW YORK
port os Dnnn Grade, Dae in the Nese
l.aer.
NEW YORK. June 27.-Rsclng appears to
be on the down grade. Possibly the eport
may yet emerge from the gloom with
which Agnw-Hart bills have surrounded
It, but there Is nothing on the suiface
to Indicate that such la the case. At a
matter of fact the surface Indications are
all the other way. If one Is to Judge solely
by the things that have happened since the
new law went Into effect he would be
forced to the conclusion that racing; that
is, racing as New Yorkers have known it.
Is a thing of the past, at least for the
present.
This Is not a pleasant conclusion for
friends of the sport to face and very few
of them will admit that It Is true. That,
however, la because they don't want It to
be true and are willing to deceive even
themselves. These friends base most of
their hope on the proposition that th
Jockey club has something up its s'e?ve
that when played will rout foes of the
sport. They may be right, but unless this
great trumn card Is relesed soon and Is
of more value than the one that wai up
the sleeve In Albany when the fate of th
bills was In the balance thinking people
Will decline to believe In Its existence. Th
simple fact Is that things have gon from
bad to worse ever since betting was put
under the ban. Unless there Is a reason
able chance to get a wager down It will
be Impossible to get the crowd to the
race track In sufficient number to pay
purses of even half the value of those now
being hung up. All this docs not mean
that racing Is going to stop immediately,
for It Isn't. SheepMiead Bay surely will
run off Its meeting, hut Just what Is to
come after that It Is hard to say. Meeting
may be held throughout the year and then
again they may not, but unless legislative
relief la found next winter the one best
bet Is that next year tho Kmplr state
will be without the thoroughbred.
ORANGE READY FOR BIG TOURNEY
Preparation for the Middle State
Tennis Championship.
NEW YORK, June 27. Many Improve
ments have been made In the courts of the
Orange Lawn Tennis club for the middle
states championship tournament, which be
gins there on June 9. There are many
first-class entries and more are promised.
The tournament will be run as usual, on
strictly amateur lines, and the officials
and umpires will be In the places assigned
to them by the national association. As
W. A. Larned won the singles trophy out
right last year, a new one will be pro
vided, which will be a Tiffany vase twenty
two and one-half Inches high. As has be-n
the custom, the champion will not play
through the tournament, and no change In
this respect is likely until the United States
National association so orders.
