New Orleans', March, 23. Over a roud
Jy track, an aftermath of a severe Btortn
Saturday night, under bright skies and
before a generous attendance , seven
races -were run here as the final" act' in
the season .of ninter racing in the
Crescent City.
It was an interesting climax to a long
pjni tiresome season, and evea those who
have found their trip successful were
triad to get away. During- the summer
months the oluft has planned a number
cf improvements which are to be com
peted before winter roils around again.
The scattering of the clan, which was
Stl full sway, takes the horsemen to all
jarts of the country for the interval be
tween the end of winter racing and the
fceeinning; of the regular season.
The racing furnished during' the after
noon was keenly enjoyed. The uncer
tain going: of course wrecked some, but
those that remained in were amply suffi
cient to bring good .betting and well
fought contests.
The opening event went to the S-to-5
favorite, Ils Golightly, and her ad
mirers looked to see her gallop in. The
result showed they had overrated fher
Bjm, for it took a drive from the head
of the home stretch to get her to the line
r length, in front of Cutzy, who beat Dr
Carrick. The start was poor.
Har-Sly made a runaway of the second
race. She r m as if. treated to a "dose"
ct some sort, and the chances are her
owners will be made to answer some
question. At the finish she was two
lengths in front of Hitholin, who was a
like distance in front of Weidemann.
All the money was bet on Plantain, but
i:e liad no speed.
The thii-d race was a steeplechase over
the short course. The held was in bad
shape, yet all that nn managed to get
liomej without a tumble. The winner
was Keidenbach. one of the outsiders. He
made most of the running, and at the
finish was six lengths in front of The
'"w.net. who finished a like distance in
front of Terry Ranger, the favorite.
The ii-H for the Turf Congress handi

than Callahan's he would have won.

JOHN- L. ON A SPREE.
Ex-Champion Pugilist Inaugurate a

New York, Starch 25. John L. Sulli
van, former heavyweight champion of
the world, waa In a fighting mood Sat
urday and descended into the ligt
weight class He succeeded ir get! us
::t- two eucuunters, hut his opponent in
each instance was a little fellow. In
Roth cases he was ejected from the
Broadway saloons in, which the rows lie
provoked occurred, after being well
pounded by the small men he fought
with For some time Sullivan has bed
r: Ms good behavior, but Saturday he
frurr -nderti to his old enemy. John Bar
leycorn, and for a time terrorized trie
patrons of every place he entered. He
was loud and abusive to friends aiul
FT rv reel's alike.
"You are all a lot of loafers," he de
clared as he entered Len Wagner's place
fit Thirty-fifth and Broadway. Then he
walked over to where Jam9 Thornton,
the sr.rg writer, was sitting at a tabie
reading a mwspaper. He denounced Mr.
Thornton in violent language. Sir
Thornton pmtested against the ablLse
t-ei': r heaped upon him.
"Oh, you 8 re r.a good." said SuHIvai.
The ex-pus-ilist followed this statem nt
rip with all sorts of epithets and Thorn
ton grew indienant.
Mr. Sullivan." he said, "you must not
talk to me like that. You have no ca-se
to do so .sir, nnd I protest." 'With th,.t
Thornton rose to his feet and was about
to walk away. Suliivan called him a
vile name ar.d Thornton, who is slig.it,
struck the big fighter In the face. Suli
van seemed to be much amused at the
attack. He held his head down while
the little mart rained blows upon hin.
The harder he hit, the more delighted
s the "big fellow."
Wheti Thornton had apparently worn
cut Ms strength, Sullivan swung his
right, landing on Thornton's jaw. knock
ing him through the folding doors lead
ing into a hallway and in the language
cf the prize-ring, putting him out."
"Warner and the attaches of the place at
once came to Mr. Thornton's assistance.
They grappled with Sullivan and hurr'ed
him out into Broadway, bundled rum
into hack and sent him on his way.
Su'iivan latr visited another saloon on
Br-.oadway, where he made a like att.u'i
on C. J. Tracey. a well known horseman.
Mr. Tracey- weighs about l.'lO pounds, bur
3te showed that he did not lack nerve He
was sittlmr at table with Cecrge A.'

ien'inciati-n.
"Don't s." admonished Tracey. "he is

There-was a mimp and Tracey struck
Sullivan several times in the face. The

to his saloon, where he continued his

TO STJE DESERTINO FLAYERS.
Brooklyn National League Will Go
After Contract Jumpers.
Philadelphia, Fa., March 25. Now
hat the American league has had its
ay and gone home Colonel John I.
kittei-u soeka over Uie field and prepares
for the nuxt move. This will be fought,
out in the courts. The colonel was busy
in his office preparing the articles for
the legal documents that are to be pre
sented to court in the hope of preventing
Lajoie, Fraser and Hern hard from play
ing with the American League club.
While thus immersed in his iegal shafts
in popped President Charles H. Ebbetts,
of the Brooklyn club. When he learned
what Jlogers was doing Mr. Ebbetts
said:
"The Brooklyn club intends to pro
ceed against all the players who jumped
their contracts. While we do not wish
to harm any one we hoye that before the
proceedings are finished tha players will
reconsider their action. We have as our
counsel John Montgomery Ward, who
will be associated with Mr. Baldwin, his
partner."
Tha National League, or rather the
Philadelphia end of it, wiil have as its
counsel John G. Johnson, the great law
yer. Johnson, it will be remembered, is
the attorney who gut at least a JGO.000
fee in the great senatorial contempt case
involving the Sugar Trust magnates. It
was his ingenious pleading that saved
Searles and Havemeyer from jail. By
the way. he is also a baseball fun, and
steals away to the games whenever pos
sible. In discussing the suita Colonel Rogers
said:
"We gave Lajoie $2,400 per year, and
the other neoDle promise $4.000 $3. CRM)
salary and Sl.ouO for captaining the
team. We were offered $13,000 for Lajoie
Now, suppose we had bought Kelly for
JlO.eOO, and some of those otner tancy
priced people, and they had jumped,
where would we be? If we had done
what the American league did in arrang
ing its schedule so as to make conflicting
dates the press of the country would
have torn us to pieces. Mack's team
conflicts with us 22 games in this city.
A schedule could have been arranged
whereby they would not have duplicated
us more than three or four games."
The Phillie team is not filled up yet,
but there are promises out, and a pretty
good lot of players will go into the field.
The loss of Lajoie, Bernhard and Fraser
is a serious blow.
GARRY HERRMANN SOLD.
The Noted Racer Said to Have Been
Purchased by S. S. Brown.
Louisville, Ky., March 25. Charles
Head Smith, of Chicago, the owner of
Garry Herrmann, the favorite in the
Kentucky and American Derbies, w as in

tonight, and partly verifled by a promi
nent turfman, that Smith gold the colt
to S. S. Brown, the Pittsburg coal king.
Smith and Brown were in consultation
this afternoon In regard to the sale of
the colt, and it is probable a deal was
made whereby Garry Herrmann has be
come the property of Brown.
Irwin Goes With the Reds.
Cincinnati, 'March 2r. Charley Irwin

Baseball Gossip.
Til ford Jones, one of the pitchers of
the Cleveland team, is coaching the can
didates for the state college ball in Lex
ington, Ky., league, and predicts it will
In time supplant the National league.
He has j?ome very promising material
to work on at the college.
Pan Johnson laughs at the new rule
of the National league by which a bat
ter hit with the ball is not to be given
a base, and says that malicious pitchers
will hit the heavy batters purposely, the
batter will resent the injury, and there
will be a fight in every game.
A Milwaukee dispatch says there Is
more than a probability that Pink Haw
ley, of Beaver Dam, will sign a Mil
waukee contract, as the price offered
to him by the Milwaukee management
overtops the tender of the New York
club, and in addition Pink prefers that
end of the earth. Hawley. it is said,
declared himself in favor of the Mil
waukee club only a few days ago.
Pitcher Schmidt, who has cast his lot
with McGraw's new Orioles, says that a
team could be made up of the club own
ers and managers of the American
league which would beat any team in
its circuit or any other circuit with a
little training. This is the way he makes
up the team: Comiskey. first base; Man
ning, second base; Collins, third base:

JEFFRIES IN A CROUCH.
KANSAS". KE17S.
Clyde's City Treasurer Charged
With Embezzlement.
A. J. Patterson Said to Be Short
5,000 of Town Funds.
HE IS UNDER ARREST.
Reported as Paying Ronds That
Were Not Paid.
Cemetery Association Loses Sev
eral Hundred Dollars;
Clyde, Kaa, March 25. There isn't a
dollar in. the Clyde city treasury, and the
cutting off of the revenue by reason of
Mrs. Nation's followers closing- the joints
has caused a sensation seldom witnessed
here before.
City Treasurer A. J. Patterson, who
has held the office since 1896, was arrest
ed on a warrant for embezzlement of the
Clyde city funds to the amount of about
$5,000, as shown by an expert's account,
and after a preliminary examination he
was bound over to the April term of the
Cloud county district court in the sum
of $2,000, which bail has been furnished.
Two years ago the city authorities di
rected Treasurer Patterson to pay from
the city funds in his hands a bond of
the city for $1,000, and since that time
he was authorized to pay three other
bonds of $1,000 each. The treasurer re
ported the payment of each of these
bonds, charged them up on his account
as treasurer, and published his quarterly
reports showing such bonds paid. Re
cently upon the determination of the city
authorities to refund the balance of the
bonds at a lower rate of interest an in
vestigation showed that none of the
bonds had been paid.
The city treasurer is so close-mouthed
that he refuses to divulge the where
abouts of the missing city funds. He
has been a pushing young business man
of Clyde for many years, and this large
deficiency in her finances has caused
universal comment. Among the funds
missing is said to be $700 or $800 belong
ing to the Clyde Cemetery association.
The county attorney will be assisted by
C. W. Vandermark and Theo. Lang in
the pros'ecution, while ex-Judge F. W.
Sturgis and W. S. Cannon will conduct
the defense.
