GARDNER MAY
BUY CARDINALS
St. ; Louis Manufacturer
Ready to Negotiate with
Holders of Team.
NMi?Terk. Jan. 12.?Russell Gard- |
ner. of St. Louis, who ha* been in
terestcd in minor league baseball for |
the past ten years as owner of the i
Memphis club of the Southern Asso
ciation. may purchase the commun- |
ity-owned St. Louis Cardinals dur
ing the big baseball pow-wow here
this week. Mr. Gardner is now in
this city and said last night:
"Yes: I am considering a proposi- i
tiofv^joX buying the Cardinals and
will be in this city during the base- j
ball conference next week. I under
stand that the present owners would
be willing to sell the franchise and
if a satisfactory financial adjust- I
meivL <;an be arranged. I would be
willing to takf* over the property.**!
Mfc* 'Gardner is a manufacturer,
anAHIi the days before the automo- .
bile was what may be called the
Henry Ford of the carriage business.
He is the brother of the present
governor of Missouri.
Branch Rickey, president of the
St. Louis club, is now in this city,
and it is expected that James C.
Jones, of St. I^ouis. one of the lead
ing stockholders, will also ba here'
for the meeting. It is expected that
these three will get together and it
would . ol be surprising if the news
of th * sale was announced during]
the *.?? el:.
No intimation up to this time has
b*e?i pfcitle that a change in the club
? '.'rship had been contemplated, at
UK'. .rh it was known at the end of the i
;? .*? i :hat the organization faced a
lici.cit. This wad not surprising, how
l>ecause neftlv all the major
L.igue ciubs had a bad season on ac
of the war conditions. It is un- i
**:?icod that several weeks ago tne J
uent own?>rship met all their obli
with the former owner, Mrs.
Helen Britton, who took over the duo
v hen her uncle. Stanley Robinson,
cied in 1911. Mr*. Britton was the
?.niy woman club owner who ever sat
i.i the National League meetings.
A few years ago Mrs. Britton sold
the club to a syndicate, which has
operated the club since that time.
The attempt to conduct the club on
th** community basis has not been a
great success. and the numerous
Mockbiikh rs are anxious to get rid
?f their holdings. One of the in
novations started by the new owner
ship a as the so-called "knothole
gan^x." Passes were given to school
boy who stood well in their classes,
and at every game thes>c lads were
5iT?M seats in the bleachers.
Jack- Hendricks, who has been man
asor or the Indianapolis club of the
'can Association for several
>ear?. was appointed manager of the
club last season. He signed a two
vean** contract, and it was announced
a while ago that the club wanted to
c-rop hrm and appoint Branch Rickey
to lead the club.
Hendricks went to France as a
Knights of Columbus secretary and
. returned only recently. He, has inti
mated that he would expe *t the St.
Louis c+ub to honor the contract which
i? made with him when he took
charge of the club last year. Hen
dricks claims that his failure last
season was caused by the war con
ditions. There was also a wide breach
between Roger Hornsby. the club's
star player, and the new manager
and it is stated that they were at
odd4* during the greater part of the
season* ..
PETE HARTLEY WILL
BATTLE PHIL BLOOM
Baltimore. Jan. 12.?Fight tans
I should see a good battle next Fii
[ day night at Albaugh*s Theater
when Phil Bloom. th?* crack Brook
lyn light-weight, meets Pete Hart
I ley. the- Durable Dane, in a fifteen
' round clash to a decision before the
American Athletic Association. It
is the first fifteen-rounder of the
season and the ring followers are
all set for seeing the two light
! weights go that route.
The boy who has been picked to
face Hartley has a fine record, his
best bouts being against such men
as Eddie Wallace. Knockout Brown.
Joe Beddell. Matt Wells, Harry
Pierce, Fraiikie Callahan. Jimmy
Duffy. Tommy Murphy. Leach Cross.
Irish Patsy dine. Stanley. Yoakum.
Joe Welling, "Johnny Dundee. Freddy
Welch. Ted Kid Lewis, the welter
weight champion, and seven meet
ings with Benny Leonard. the light
wei*fM*king.
John McGraw Seeking
To Land Robertson
New York. Jan. 12.?When the Giants
embark for their springtime training
rendezvous in March there is every
likelihood that Davcy Robertson will
be among the athletes, for negotia
tions between him and McGraw for
the return o# the fleet-footed South
erner to the New York club next sea
t*>n are progressing promisingly.
Robbie is said to bo dissatisfied with
life away from tho hurly burly of the
pennant chase. Now that the war is
over and his aid in war-time activi
ties is no longer needed he doubtless
i will return to the Giants and help
materially to keep New York in the
pennant race next season.
When McGraw let out Joe Wilhoit
the other day it probably was with
the intention of bringing Robbie back
to the Giants. Robertson not only 1?
a big favorite with the metropolitan
fandom but he also is admired hv
McGraw. who regards him as an ath
lete of high efficiency. McGraw
sought to induce him to return last
season, but Robbie declined. Now.
bssever. he has changed his .mird.

BRIMS BACK
RECOLLECTIONS
Another Thoroughbred by
Name of Major Domo
Now Running.
The appearartce among the recent
winners at Havana reveals the name
of Major Domo, a 2-year-old by The
Manager-Luck Locket, and warrants
a glance backward to the racing in
the late '80s and early '90s, when that
sterling son of Tom Ochiltree-Imp.
Sweet Home, of the same name, sport
ed the colors of the late D. D.
Withers and W. J. Spiers, at pres
ent engaged in the pleasant occupa
tion of sending winners to the post
for severjti very astute horsemen.
If the career of the present-day Ma
li l'omo is flanked by a number
i wins the equal of those of the
1 ?ndicap performer of nearly three
decades ago it will be a brilliant one
indeed, as Tom Ochiltree's son show
ed to the fore with a frequency
which spoke volumes for the honesty
of purpose of his connections and 1
training wisdom of the men who!
were chiefly concerned w^h sending
him to the post.
While during the course of his
cart or he took the numbers of many |
a high-class performer at various j
distances in all probability his most
1 glittering performances were his i
; seconds in successive years?1891
| and 1892?in the Suburban llandi
I cap. when lie finished as the runner
t up respectively in Loantaka and
Montana.
Among some of tlie lungpins he
showed the way to when he was a
4-year-old were Tipstaff, one of
I Green Morris" mainstays, and a
I sprinter of renown; Now or Never.
| to whom he conceded poundage at
| the same time he beat Dr. Has
brcuck. which was a 2-year-old at
j the time and afterward destined u>
be one of America's foremost short
distance horses.
Major Domo showed the ability to
race over all sorts of distances, and
won repeatedly* at dash routes as
well as over distances which re
quired a horse to show the proper
j sort of stamina to be able to poke
his nose down in front, and it is
to be hoped that his namesake will
perform in as brilliant a manner.

FOOTBALL MEN j
TO PRACTICE
_ i
Columbia Authorities Plan
Six Weeks' Spring Work 1
for Squad.
New York Jan. It?Football au-1
thorities at Columbia arc considering ,
seriouslv a proposal to have spring
liraetice for the entire football squad.
If the plan Roes through it will be |
an innovation, for not since the game
was restored four years ago has there,
been any attempt to have training In I
the spring. ^ .. . I
Fred Dawson believes that much |
could be accomplished by bavin* a |
month or six weeks of practice Just
a* soon as the frost gets out of the j
ground. . .. I
The one obstacle in the way of the j
carrying out of the proposal Is the i
lack of playing space on South b ielft. j
Under present conditions tlier? is i
barely enough room on the Held for
the. varsity baseball team to get all
the practice it needs and there was
such a lack of it that it was decided
several years ugo to forego freshman j
baseball teams.
I'nder the plans which Dawson >s
considering an effort would be made
to uso either part of the grove vmrtli
of the gymnasium at One Hundred
land Nineteenth street and Broadway,
or the terrace in front of Fumald
I Hall, where the Y. M. C. A. courses
in physical training were held last
I summer when Columbia was a school
for the Instruction of Y. M. C. A. war
workers.
Another difficulty Is the fact that
j Dawson's time will be occupied to a
considerable extent by baseball. As
h*ad coach of the varsity nine he
will have all he can do. it is believed,
to look after the nine in the after
| noon hours, and this may lead to
| holding of football practice early in
| the day.
It may be that Dawson would turn
the football men over to Tom Thorp.
| who was a volunteer coach last fall
| and has expressed himself as being
especially anxious to be of service in
the spring if l<awson finds his time
i too limited.
I Dawson believes that a great deal
of good can be obtained from spring
I practice, and he believes that the
success which Princeton had on the
gridiron in the years that "Speedy"
I Rush was coach, was due, In* large
measure, to the system of spring
training which was inaugurated and
carried through by him.
Dempsey May Referee
Leonard-Dundee Bout
* New York. Jan. 12,-Thc coming
match between World's Champion
Benny Leonard and Johnny Dundee
will be a unique promotion in at least
one particular. There will be no "ref
eree question" brought up. The New
Jersey State boxing law and the terms
i of the contract which Ix-onard and
Dundee signed with the Newark
Sportsmen's Club prevents this. When
the two boxers affixed their signa
tures to the papers to engage in con
test in the First Regiment Armory.
' Newark, on January 30. they agreed
to leave the selection of thp refeieo
to the club and the commission. The
rules of the Jersey boxinjr board, and
they are inviolate, provide that the
! governing body shall assign the ref
i eree to every match fought \inder its
j jurisdiction.
When Dundee and Leonard step into
j the ring Jack Dempsey, the sensa
' tional Western heavy weight, may be
| "in there" with them. The boxing
commission has not as yet named the
referee who will officiate, but tho
Newark Sportsmen's Club has filed a
request that Dempsey be delegated for
the post. The latter is eligible to offi
' eiate. He holds a referee's card issued
. to him by the commission." He was
i appointed a referee because his serv
i ices were so much in demand and
j sought for various "charity" boxing
I shows staged throughout the State
I during the recent war-fund drive.
TO NAME HARVARD BOARD.
Makeup of Athletic Body to Be
Announced Tomorrow.
Cambridge. Mass.. Jan. 12.?President
Lowell. of Harvard. today will
present to the fellows of the univer
sity the names of the nine men whom
he finds acceptable as member? of the
Harvard athletic committee for the
next six months. Naturally, there is
much speculation as to the make-up
of the body, which will in a great
part determine many of Harvard's
athletic policies and solve many of
the problems of post-war sport activi
ties.
Three undergraduates, in company
j with a similar representation from
1 the alumni and faculty, make up th?*
I athletic committee. Maj. Fred W.
! Moore serving as secretary. Mr.
i Moore is graduate manager and treas
urer of the Harvard Athletic Associa
tion.
The student members from last
year's committee are still in college,
and may be again chosen. They are
Robert E.' Gross, coach and captain
I of last year's hockey team; Andre F.
iTribble, manager of the university
crew, and Norman S. Walker of the
hockey team. The three faculty rep

Eariith Jock "Flu" Victim.
New York, Jan. 12.?Tnfluenza and
pneumonia are still much more
prevalent in Great F.ritain and Eu

the latest victims was Sergt. Her

OLD RACERS TO
| BE RUN AGAIN
Old Rosebud, King of Han
dicap Thoroughbreds,
to Resume Racing.
? Old Ho ft* bud, "king of the handicap
I horses," will race again this year.
This announcement will quicken the
pulse of racegoers, for "Old Buddy."
as*he is affectionately called, is to
the turf what "Matty" is to baseball
?a popular idol. lie was too lame
to race in 191S.
It will be Old Buddy's second come
back stur . of his career. If he wins
half the number of races he did In
3917. ho will have accomplished a
| new record of performances such as
I no other horse has to hfc? credit. His
performances give him a niche in
the hall oi" fame reserved for mighty |
[thoroughbreds, but should he again l
top the list of handicap winners, such
I as he did in 1917, he will go down
I in turf history as the most remarka
j bio horse that was ever foaled In
I America. Old Rosebud has been tio
favorite of fortune. The ills and ail
ments of racehorses have rested heav
ily 011 him from his 2-year-old year
1913?to the present time, when his
years number seven. And yet, in
spite cf his physical handicap, he
has beaten the best racehorses in
the United States and Caniula, .es
| tablished records for "classic events
' and in one season, that of 1917, won
| more handicaps than any other
horse.
Three things, assets of great Impor
! tance to a racehorse, were conducive
j to his success?extreme speed, great
; courage and fine action. These es
j sentials he possessed to a great de
| pree. Whether they would have b*en
j brought to the surface in the hands
1 of an ordinary trainer is a matter of
! conjecture. But fate placed him in
! charge of Frank D. Weir, a top-notcTi
[ trainer of thoroughbreds.
It was Weir's skill that brought Old
; Rosebud's speed to the front, and his
\ skill, plus patience, that has enabled
! Old Buddy to come back to the turf
' twice after he had broken down badly
| and was regarded as a hopeless crlp
| pie by many trainers.
j Old Rosebud raced in 1913-14-17.
I when he was two, three and six years
'old, respectively. Kach year his wln
! ning career was cut short b> his ten
| dons giving way. When a raceI>orBe
I "breaks down," as horseman say, he
f does not literally break a leg.
i The sheath which holds his tendons
, tears, and the tendons stretch an<7
: >ooome loose and flabby, like the elas
! tic in a worn-out garter. The leg
"bows'' or curves, and lets down be
! hind, lie is then broken down, and
j only heroic treatment, the use of
J red-hot irons, can straighten the leg
' pgaln.
| Old Rosebud brgan his 2-year-old
?career in Mexico at the Juarez track
I Ho came up the line of the circuit,
! winning race after race, took the
i Canadians Into camp and then as.
1 Saratoga made the 1'astern cham
J pions cat his dust.
As a 3-year-old he won 'ihe Ken
tucky Derby of 1914. and hung up a
i rare record of 2.^3 3-D. That was
(not approached by the great horses
I that won this ovnt In the three
.following years?Regret. G.orge
' Smith and Omar Khayyam. Regret
| won in 2.05 2 1". George Smith in
j 2.04 and Omar Khayyam in 2.04 3-5.
] Old Rosebud won with hl{* head in
I his ch^st. never being fully cxtend
] ed during any stage of the mile and
?a uuartor route.
It was during his race for the
I Withers Stakes at Belmont Park
, that he "broke down." He was
'making his run. and just about
{drawing into a winning lead when
the sheath ruptured on his near
foreleg and he hobbled home a crlp
I pie. He was turned out in a pad
I dork for three yeaVs. afid then came
; back in 1917.
In 1917 Old Buddy started twenty
one times. He won fifteen races, fin
ished second once and third three
! times. t>eing unplaced only twice. This
j record has never been equalled by a
| 6-vear-old gelding. He beat all the
; best horses in training? Roamer. Bar
I row. Hodge. Boots. The Finn. He
won more handicaps, conceding big
' weight to Iiia rivals, than any other
I racer, and thus earned the title of
J "Handicap King." A few of his vle
: torioff were the Carter. Frontier, In
! augural, Delaware and Bay View.
Two of the remarkable things in
1 connection with Old Rosebud's career
i are that he has never been beaten by
I a poor horse and that ho has never
1 been ridden by a first-class jockey.
Roamer and other great horses, at
times, have run some bad races and
have been beaten by poor horses.
Old Buddy, never! When this hap
pened there was a reason?he was a
cripple in the race.
Teak, who was ruled ofT in 1917 for
h's ride on Judge Wingfield at Bel
mont Park, was Old Rosebud s pilot.
Peak, at his very best, was never
| better than a first-class exercise or
I stable boy. Old Rosebud won his races
I by sheer merit, without help, but
I frequently hindered, by his jockey.

"DRIVE DOLLAR OUT OF

If the executives, the players
and everyone directly interested
in baseball will forget that the
dollar sign is associated with it
and boost it as the one BIG na
tional game, there is no doubt in
my mind regarding the success
of its come-back. The road is
! open for baseball's return. Fan
dom is ready for it as well as
J the players and the club owners,
j But we must bring it back on the
i basis of a game, of the skillful

case, it is understood.
BORROWED UNIFORMS
PROVE REAL JINX
One way a team could be assured"
of a victory in every stop on a trip
would be to lose its uniforms. The
dope shows that when a visiting
club appears on the field attired in
the reiralia of the home forccs it
generally manages to abate- the
residents.
l^ast season, on their way Kast,
the St. lx>uis Cardinals lost their
baggap* and had to meet the
Superbas in clothing for which
Charles Hercules Kbbets had paid.
The result was a 9 to 2 victory for
Jack Hendricks' ti-am.
Three years previously the St.
Louis Browns reached Detroit minus
uniforms and, uttired in Tiger togs,
they defeated the Junglemen, 1 to 0.
Weilman pitching against Dauss.
| That was the year l^engthy Carl
won eight out of ten games from
the Tigers, the contests he did not
capture being, respectively, a de
feat and a tie.
A game which a visiting team did
not win when it was compelled to
play in the home clubs regalia b?i- i
cause of the nonarrival of its bag
gage took place at the Hilltop, in
New York, on August 12, 1912. The i
Tigers and their baggage parted i
company at Syracuse, and Jennings*
men played in the Yanks' road uni
forms, being beaten, 3 to 2.
This reverse might not have oc
curred had it not been for I'mpire
Jack Eagan. He put *Ray Fishor
out of the game in the first inning
after the Tigers had located the
collegian for a couple of runs, and
Jack Warhop, who took command
of the pitching peak, was so in
vincible that he. yielded only two
safeties and permitted only twenty- |
four men to go to bat.

his experience as a player in both
major leagues and as an umpire in

head in the days of such sluggers as

Fortunately they were playinc behind
him when he joined the Phillies in
the summer of 189f>. However, there

Tfce Man la Olive I)rafc.**
| Triggy Drew stood on the marble
| step# of the Stockbridge mansion.
The butler had Joat helped him on
with hi* coat The door had closed
softly. The outer air gripped with
cold that crackled. A soft enow was
| falling' upon the city. It bhirred tha'
view of the avenue. a* seen to north j
I and south. It wound the opposite'
j buildings with a shroud of winter,
j The detective squared his shoulders,
j thrust his hands in his pockets for!
j warmth, and hurried out between the i
iron-grilled gates, which stood slight
I ly ajar. He hesitated a moment on
| the sidewalk. Again he glanced up
f and down the avenue. The soft
j purring of a motor sounded. A taxi
I churhed through the snow. It came
J to a slow stop at the opposite curb.
The glow from an overhead arc
J showed that this taxi was crammed
black with men.
i "That's Delaney and his squad."
said the detective turning up his
I collar. "He's late."
| Drew crossed the avenue on a long
j diagonal He eyed the alert chauffeur.
He rounded the taxi and jerked open
its door. The orders he whispered to
the squad of operatives were terse
and to the point.
"Keep Stock bridge'* block covered."
he said. "Watch all four comers
Two of you get into the alley, back of
the house, and climb the fence. Keep
your eyes on the Junction box and
the telephone wires. Don't let any
body touch them. All out, now. It's
? a big job with double-pay. men!"
I The cramped operatives climbed out
i and stood on the sidewalk. They
| glanced from Drew to the towering
I spires of the Stockbridge mansion.
Their eves grew hard with calcula
tion.
Twelve Hour* to I.lvf.
"She's big." repeated Drew. "You
know who live? there? He's been
threatened twice. Somebody gave
him twelve hours to live. Two of
the twelve are gone It's up to us
to see that nothing happens in the
next ten."
Delaney touched his hat. "All right,
j chief." he said. "'We'll see. r.l
; answer for the boys I brought. I'll
I get rid of this taxi." The operative
| turned toward the driver.
| Keep it around the corner on the
j side street." Drew ordered. "Have
, him turn and head this way. We
can't tell what minute we will need
| him"
Delaney gave the order. He paired
j ofT the operatives and sent them hur
| rying through the snow. Drew noticed
j that he had brought six men for the
| assignment.
"Good." he said as the la>t operative
[disappeared. "Six i? better than Ave.
