THE BASEBALL OUTLOOK LOCAL TEAMS STROXG. : Plans Completed for Training Trip of the Superbas. TTithia mi weeks there will be more than five 'hundred baseball players getting Into condition for ( ■■'. tbe National and American League teams. When p the ppring training starts the avorage number of [players trying for the major beams will be about E ... and as there are eight clubs in each I leagce there -nill be a small army of ball tossers [ at work in various parts of the South. Several of S the clubs will have their headquarters in Texas. [ ethers will be in Oreoicia. som» in Alabama and [ fJli others in the Carolinas. The Giants. Chicago > Cubs and Washington will be among the teams ; which will work out in Texas. The managers of I the teams have completed r.rran £ ements for the f cempaim on the diamond, and, strange as it may E teem- from present indications it looks as if all of j. them had succeed*^ in strengthening their teams. ! The heads of both of the leag-ues think they have ! the cream of the players, but as long as there is a cJose flrht for the championship no one cares ' whether Johnson or Pulliam iE right. Here :n New York the baseball enthusiasts are manifesting unusual interest in the team managed by Clark Griffith. Nearly every one i« willing to wager that ne wil! have a much stronger team than " to 130T, anfi that l.c will be in the fight for the pea cant from the start to the finish. Griffith has niade some sensational seals since the season closed last October. His trade of Williams, Hoff man and Ferris for Harry Niles. Charley Hemp hill and Fred Glade caused considerable comment. - both favorable and adverse But this move of "Grifiiths will undoubtedly add much strength to : his 'team. Then he also got Jake Stahl from "Washington. Glade ssoadi prove the most valu able cf the new mer. The Yankees were weak in the pitching department last year, and Glade , cUd fill a big gap. As a pitcher he ranks well cp with the best, and besides he is a steady and consistent performer. sues is a fast man in the infield, and h* should fill the place occupied by ; Jimmy Williams in much better style than il has been <ior,» on the Hilltop in several years. He 1? -also an outfielder of no mean ability. Hemphill ie a serviceable outfielder, while Stahl car. cover first base or play the outfield equally well. Stahl ; is a heavy baiter also, and that is the kind of a 1 man the Highlanders need. There is a chance that the inf.eld may I " made I ,- as follows: • Hal Chase, first base; Niles or Con 1 to:-, second base; Elberfeld. shortstop, and Mori ' arity, third base. In the outfield there may be : Ke. ■■ ia right. Stan:. in centre, and Conroy or HemphilL in left. Behind the bat Griffith can place Jack now, Blair. Rickey or Sweeney. Blair did great work at the tail end of the season. His throwing to second could not have been im proved. Griffith has eighteen pitchers from which to se lect. Al Orth wilL be his mainstay. Then there will be Jack Chesbro, Doc Newton. Billy Hogg, who was on the sick list for the. greater part of ; 1577; Joe Doyle and Fred Glade. In addition to these veterans he will try out Joe Lake, of the Jersey City team of the Eastern League, who did great work last seaFon and was sought by the managers of half a dozen teams. Never. the left hander, will be en deck again. In addition to this array of talent the New York club has Rube '■ Zeller, Roy Castleton. Hughes. Brocket;. Keefe. 1 Tift. the Brown collegian, and Plank, the brother ' cf the famous Philadelphia Athletic twirler. All in all it looks promising for the Yankees this year. The Yankees will play twenty-three exhibition games on the Southern practice trip. The full , schedule was announced yesterday, as follows: March 12. 13. 14, 19, 2". 21 and a with Atlanta, at : Atlanta; March 14 and 23 with Toledo, at Chat tanooga; March 23 with the Institute ■■' Tech nology. at Atlanta: March 2S with Athens College, ! at Athens, Ga.; April 2. 3 and 4 with Atlanta, at ; Atianta; April € with Rcanoke. at Roanoke, Va.: A; -.; 7 with Lynchburg, at Lynchhurg. v » •: April S and 9 with Baltimore, at Baltimore; April 10 with ; Princeton College at Princeton; April 11 with • Trenton, at Trenton; April 12 with Newark, at : Newark, arid April 13 exhibition game, at American League Park". On April 4 and 6 the second team will play two games at Richmond. { Unless all signs fall the Giants will be right up ; BOOBS the leaders when the curtain is run down en the season of 1&0 S. which should be the best j New York has seen in several years. If Griffith's i Hades can be called sensational, so can McGraw's. j 7. .-. trade with Eton, by which the latter got ■ Tesney Needham and Bridwell, created no little lecinment in the baseball world. There is no other irsar.assr who takes as big chances as McGraw. Tl::t year he expects to land the pennant, and the caJ followers of the sport will be back of him in his fight, for he will be facing big c-3ds. For first base tie has two candidates— Tenney, ■ veteran, and Merkle, a youngster. The latter can afford to wait, even if he ia cot a regular this year. Joe Doyle will probably cover second base. Arthur j Devlin only has to play hi usual tine game at the I third corner. At shortstop the fans m::y see Erid ; well in action. Although the intield will be strong I an . fast the outfield will be stronger and faster. ■ fipike Shannon, ia left: Mike Donlin, in centre. j and Seymour, in right, will cover a lot cf ground, ! but their great value to the tt;im will bo at the bat. I They are all left hand batters, and every one of them can hit the ball hard. For the backstop posi l tion Bresnahan will have first call, with Needham n and Fitzgerald to help h:m ouo. |) Christy SJathewson. the idol of the fans, may »■>«> W expected t? show his oldtirr.e form this year. In 1307 he was hot v.t-1- for the grtatc-r part of the season. Of the other veteran* IfcGraw will have McGln nity. Am Wiitse, Taylor and Lynch. One of j the little manager's new pitchers will be McKJn- E«y. a Long Islander, who has a world of speed I and who has been hai!ed as a coming Rusie.

W\M MAI RESIGN Opposed to Change in Betting Sys tem at New Orleans. New Orleans, Jan. 13.-It was said here to-night on good authority that M. J. Winn. the manager of the local tracks, would resign as a result of a de cision to restore the old system of betting-w tn booths and tickets. The fear of adverse legisla tion led to a trial of the system as used on the New York tracks, hut it baa not been popular, and Louis Cella. the -big chief." as he is called, advo cated the change on his arrival here. Mr. WIM acted as manager of the meeting at the Empire City track, near Yonkers, last August, and will hold the same position again this year. Winning favorites were few and far between at the Fair Grounds to-day, Arionette. a lukewarm choice in the scramble for two-year-olds, being the only one to get home in front. The beaten fa vorites were Banridge, Crafty, Tileing. Tivolinl and Zepango. Pedro beat Tileing a neck after a furious drive in the handicap at six furlongs. Platoon opened up a gap of five or six lengths in the first half mile, but tired as usual. Tileing took command at the last furlong pole, but Morgan brought Pedro up with a rush and won in the last few strides. Hancock, in spite of his good race a few days ago. was at 10 to 1 in the third race, and won by half a length from Crafty. The latter was off badly and closed a big gap. Hancock also came from far back in the stretch. Granada made a runaway race of the last event, while Zepango, the odds-on favorite, had all he could do to beat Donna for the place. The sum mark s follow: First race three furlongs) — Arionette. 110 (Martin), ]s to 5, won; Pinion, 110 (Lloyd), 5 to 1. second; Cunning. 110 (Alex), 5 to 1. third. Time. O::5>;* 5 .

The Health Department yesterday instructed Dr. John T. Sprague, sanitary superintendent of the Borough of Richmond, to enforce an ordinance passed by the department last week requiring the owners of doss captured in the streets to pay a fee or $3 if they wished their dog.s released. Heretofore it was necessary only for the owners to identify their dogs to get them, sis there was ro authority to enforce the payment of a fee. Dr. Thomas Darlington said yesterday that rabies was assuming the proportions of an epidemic in the greater city. The total number of cases re ported last month was twenty-nine. The deaths from rabies for the year were as follows: Man hattan. 1C; The Bronx. I; Brooklyn. 10; Queens. 3. and Richmond, none, although the most complaints have come from the last named borough. Dr. Darlington said: "There is no actual control of dogs, excepting in the Borough of Richmond, where this department has control. The owners of dogs who have licenses in the other boroughs may permit their animals to do practically as they please, and the authorities cannot punish them for law violation excepting at great expense, and then the penalty will be hard to inflict. Dogs may go about without leashes and unattended, but the licenses cannot be revoked excepting through an expensive legal process." At the Pasteur Institute it was said that the con ditions here were practically unprecedented. In England all dogs were registered. Rabies was not known since the enforcement of the close super vision demanded by the law. At the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals It was said that there was a growing carelessness regarding the care of dogs. Dogs were roaming about the city unattended, and might with impunity attack other dogs or cats or human beings. ROOM FOR INDEPENDENTS, HE SAYS. G. P. Butler Testifies in Suit Against Ameri can Tobacco Company. A nil II Sim at yesterday's hearing in the suit of the government to have the American Tobacco Company dissolved as a monopoly said that an In dependent concern, if properly managed, could exist to-day and make money. He Is George P. Butler, formerly of the Butler & Butler Company, once independent, then bought by the American on Mr. Butler's promise not to engage in the tobacco bust ness In tills country asain for fifteen years. This did not prevent Mr. Butler from acting as the agent of the syndicate of which the late General Samuel Thomas. Thomas F. Ryan. P. JV. B. Wlde ncr nnd the late William 1,. Klklns were members when -they decided to take a part In the tobacco industry. Mr. Butler was intrusted with the task of getting options on the Liggett & Myers Tobacco Company, of $t. Louis, a formidable rival of the American company. Some interesting statistics were brought out In the examination of Mr. Butler and of William R. Harris, ere of the American company's vice-presi dents. Six million pounds of Turkish leaf are lm ported annually by the American company to make cigarettes with, but that Is a small quantity com pared with tlie forty-eight or fifty millions of pounds of domestic grown leaf which are used an nually in granulated tobacco alone. That is not nearly all of the weed thai is burned up In pipes every year, as Mr. Harris said one-half of the leaf goes into smoking tobacco. The other half of the leaf goes to make plug tobacco and cigarettes. In 1907 alone, according to Mr. Butler. 454,000.061 small cotton bags were manufactured to contain tobacco for the consumer. BUSY TERM FOR U. S. COURTS. Appeal of Captain Van Schaick, of the Slo cura, Among Cases to Be Heard.

The annual election of the New York Athletic Club, to be held In the clubhouse In Central Park South to-night, promises to be the most excit ing contest for office over witnessed within that organization. The opposition to the regular tfeket Is represented by James H. HwsHw. whose many friends have persuaded him to run for the presi dency against George W. Kulke, the present in cumbent, who is again up for election. Mr. Haslin's supporters will not offer opposition to any of the other candidates because they feel certain that with Mr. Haslin in the chair th» b?3t Interest.-, of the club will be secure. Furthermore, they ftt-1 confident that many cf the present board of governors are s>U.nch supporters r{ Mr. Ilaslln; although their position on the regular ticket fcr bids thtir open antagonism to the head of that ticket A fl«wlllsMi feature of the contest Is that neither ."Id", has shown any bitterness or personal animosity, the whole question at issua being on© of principle o'. the policy to be pursued in the management of the club's affairs. The support ers of Mr. Kuhlke point to financial accomplish ments of the last jcar as an argument for re election. Against U:ss those supporting Mr. Has lin point to his past record of many accomplish ments for the benefit c? the club during the twen ty-four years that he has been a member. The friends of Mr Kuhlke have issued a circu lar signed by 273 members of the club, calling at teiition to the fact that he "has filled the office of president with marked business and exeru:i.-e ability, untiring efforts and unquestioned integ rity," and that in their opinion "the welfare and interests of the club will be best served by Mr. Kuklke's re-election." It ends up by an appeal to all members to go to the meeting and cast a vote for the regular ticket. Among those who signed the statement were Wilson Marshall, John .1. O'Donohue. Alexander M. Orr, M. F. Plant, T. H. Price. Walter J. Peck, James Peabody, Winfield Scott. Charles H. Sher rill, Clarence B. Smith. John M. Talbot. Dr. Charles D. Wright, George Bechtel. R. H. Davles. Charles P. Geddes and James 11. Taylor. A strong supporter of Mr. Haslin said last night: "This Is a clean, open contest, based entirely upon a leßitimate difference of opinion as to the club's policy. That the management of the last year has made a profit Is not to be denied. From the stand point of a thorough clubman, however, large profits are not the main object of club organization. When reasonable profit can be made without the curtail ment of the comfort which should be the chief attribute of club life all well and good, but when an excessive profit is earned at the expense of those comforts and conveniences such a profit is undesirable. "Mr. Haslin is more familiar with eh:b affairs than any other member. He has served on the board of governors for fifteen years of the twenty four he has bef-n a member. On several occasions he has come to the rescue of the club, notably when, through him. the old clubhouse at ."^th street was sold at a handsome profit to the club when the most influential real estate dealers were of the opinion that we had an elephant on our hands. Even then his loyalty to the club was such that he refused to accept one dollar of the commission that was due him for his services in bringing about the sale. '"Again, it is to Mr. Haslin that we are indebted for the handsome new clubhouse at Travers Isl and. It was he who was primarily responsible for the raising of funds enough to make the under taking- possible. Many such instances could be en;:mf rated, but it is not on specific instances of this kind that his friends are supporting him. Friends of the present administration rely solely on one argument, which briefly is, 'Look at our statement,' to which Mr. Haslin's friends reply that any managem«r.'. past or present, could ac complish the same results if the tact was ignored that this is a club and not a commercial enter prise. Being a thorough clubman, Mr. Haslin has practical ideas of liberal club freedom, combined with safe and sane economy. With his many years of experience in these very matters, his friends do not believe that his policy would be one of par simony with the sole Idea of producing large profits. In a nutshell, we are going to elect James H. Haslin because we know him to be the one man able to restore that old feeling of hearty good fellowship and club loyalty that has not existed since we left 55th street ten years ago. His past deeds for the club prove that he can bring this about without any sacrifice of financial strength." The polls will be open at 8 o'clock to-night and close at midnight, and every indication points to the heaviest vote that the club has ever known. Instruction. For Both Sexes— City.
