THE SPORTING
THE HORSES WRESTLING
WORLD RECORD
AT LEXINGTON
Leading lady Lowers the Tina of
tbe But Mile by a Three Year
Filly to 2 07.
' Lexington, Ky, Oct 16. A most
Important world's record was low
ered yesterday forenoon during the
time record performances. Leading
Lady, a 3 year old bay Ally by the
New York city-owned stallion Blngett,
dam Miss Pratt, by Helr-at-Law,
trotted a mile In a start against time
In 2:07 and lowered the world's best
mile by a 3 year old filly from
3:08. The former champion was
Fantasy, who had held this record
since 1893. , , , . 4.
The new record is only a quarter
of a second slower than the fastest
mile ever trotted by a colt, gelding
or filly, namely, that of General
Watts, 2:06.., Early during the
season Leading Lady showed up
finely In her races. She won the
American Horse - Breeders' futnrlty
at Readville and later gained a mark
of 2:1114. It was -In the effort W
better her record yesterday that she
trotted her wonderful mile and set
the record of her ago. and sex at a
point where It will be a long time
before It will be equaled or reduced.
The new world's champion Is owned
by A. B. Coxe of Paoli, Pa, and wa,s
driven" yesterday by Bob Proctor,
who trained her at Readville.
The talent again went astray yes
terday, as two of its choices went
wrong in a manner to give it abso
lutely no chance of shifting. In the
3 year old Kentucky stake the Ari
zona colt Justo was put up as the
good thing, selling at $50, the field
hardly $25; but Justo was not in
racing form and got badly beaten- by
Binvolo, from the Allen farm at Pltts-
fleld, Mass. - , v
Weather and track conditions were
the best of the entire meeting, and It
was plain that with a proper pace
maker Binvolo was ready for much
faster time than he showed.
1 Although the Pittsburg mare Lady
Jones, driven by Tommy Murphy,
won the 2:12 trot after losing a heat,
yet it did 'no good to the talent; as
she was virtually barred from the
pools. r" ' : . " ,
..The Philadelphia mare Zaza was
selected, .by the wiseacres as a , color
bearer, for reasons which Is often
hard to. account for, as this mare,
driven by an old man, is as likely to
fast as" she Is' to Jump like a Jack
rabbit; : : . ., , ,
The more '' conservative ' element
pinned' their faith to Geers's Czarina
Dawson, while the best play was
made by fielders. ' Geers-won the
opening heat rather closely pressed,
but Lady- Jones walked over in the
three succeeding heats after losing
the first by a break and finishing
last. There, was asgood contest in
every ieat. jot , this racei but the
barred favorite came from 'the out
side, in every heat and won after
'stepping long miles.' . .
The pacing stallion Minor- Heir
failed to lower the world's unpaced
pacing record of 1 : 59 . ' He steppe
the mile In 2:00 after .going the
first half In-: 59. 'He rated his
quarters as follows: :30H. :29 ft,
;30& and :30.

Another Complication in New Haven
Ownership.
New Haven, Oct 16. There was a
hitch over the sale of the New Haven
nine yesterday afternoon by George
M. Cameron of this city to James H.
.Wilkes. Deeds were yesterday drawn
up transferring the team to Mr
Wilkes, who is ie of the owners of
the Grand Opera house of this city
and a former Brooklyn player. They
were not passed because of a techni
cality In tbe rather complicated own
ership "of the team and it. was said
last night that they might not be
handed over at all.- . ? .
Mr Cameron Insists on owning the
nine alone If he continues in the
field and Is willing to shoulder the
entire responsibility but there has
been a hitch between him and. his
partners, George Bone and. 8amue J.
Wtedenhamer of Newark, who poa

ALL WANT TO
GET A MATCH
Many Grspplers Who Would Like
; to Tackle AlfiSwanion
Other Newr.
i .' There are several wrestlers who
Are anxious -to-break: into this city
during the winter 'months and all are
after.theiscalp of.Ale Swanspn. One
Of them appeared In person and said
he wa,M6ntagna"of ,the Broadway
gymhaslumv New..Ydrk:i. He was a
likely JookiogjCbap at that and look
ed the'part of a, wrestler.; Kunkle of
Canada Is another who wants a cracK
at .some of-tbe boys , at-145 to 150
pounds. . .He-and SWanson ought to
make a .good, .match at that, ' Then
comes a . letter .from Joe Murphy of
Lynn, who claims to be Ihe, manage
oftVoihg Prokos, who will tackle the
best of them at 148 pounds. Swanson
may take on one or all of them, before
many moons. ,
tfohn PerelH, the Italian wrestler,
defeated Fritz Mohl In twenty-three
minutes In their match at the Colum
bia theater, Boston. It was the fast
est bout of the season and Mohl was
not put down for a fall. PerelH se
cured a toe hold on the German and
he was obliged to give up. There are
so many Fritz Mohls, Charley Olsons
and Hlalmar Lundlns wrestling that
It Is" difficult to keep track of them.
The' Fritz Mohl who lost the match
In Boston Is the man who lost to
Hjalmar Lundln last winter. Lundln
said when he was here that his name
was frequently used In the west by
wrestlers and he said it was rather
odd some mornings to read In the pa
per how he had lost a match in Kala
mazoo when he had really won 'one In
Boise City. In Sweden, about every
other" wrestler or weight lifter Is
named ; Anderson or Johnson and In
this country nearly every baseball
team has a Wagner, -
Charles Olson of Indianapolis has
returned to that city from Chicago,
where, he met War Eagle, the big In
aian wrestler, in a nnisn oout. ui
son was booked to meet Demetral,
the" husky Greek grappler in Indian
apolis last night. ' In a recent match
Demetral gave Olson the hardest tus
sle of his career. Demetral charged
unfair treatment after he was beaten
and said that Olson would not dare
to give him a return match. The
Swede took up the challenge and a
side bet of $500 was posted by the
men. . - .
George Kennedy, the manager of
Eugene Tremblay, said when he was
In Hartford , that- Carl Pons, who
wrestled' two Grae'co-Rom'aa .matches
with Hjalmar Lundln, did not make
gdod in Montreal and the sports up
there failed to see anything In him
The Hartford experts were Well pleas
ed with tne showing made by Pons
He was In Louisiana when last heard
from but whether he was wrestling
or at work upon a perique plantation
was not known1.. The match that
Pons had with Demetral In Chicago
was as bloody an affair as was ever
seen on a mat.
. .The biggest hit at the . Bothner-
Trerablay match In Hartford was
made,;by the referee, Kid Burke of
fcprlngfield. By the way , in which
Burke. examined tbe contestants one
would think that about .$14,000 and
a diamond belt was at stake. Burke
had probably read about the charge
made by Hackenschmldt that Gotch
had oiled his body before he went on
the mat In the championship struggle
at Chicago and Burke was manifestly
trying to discover oil upon Bothner
and the Canadian. Fortunately, he
did not discover any trace of oil and
the men were permitted to sro orf
This was the biggest grandstand
play ever seen at a match here. -

WITH THE POLOISTS;
Fred Jean Wants to Captain Hartford
Team.
Hartford. Oct. 16. What do you
think of Fred Jean for captain and
center of the Hartford roller polo
team That's the latest and it didn't
come , out until . yesterday.. Jean
came to Hartford yesterday all the
way from New Britain, and went
Tight to Harry Starkie's office, where
he told him he would like to buy the
Hartford franchise. Jfour story-interests
me ' strangely, said Starkle,
give more particulars.
Captain Jean then said that under
no circumstances would he ever play
rolle? polo in New Britain for Man
ager Billy Hanna. He said that the
manager had frisked him out of
$300 and he couldn't get It." Hanna
offered Jean $300 if he would win
the pennant for New Britain. After
he won the pennant, Jean held hlu
hands out for the money and Hanna
told him that he had not lived up
to his contract. According to Man
ager Hanna, Jean did not report to
him at the time he agreed to and he
did not get the players as he said he
would. Mr Hanna said he went out
and secured the players himself and
therefore he did not see where Jean
had any $300 coming to him. A
suit was threatened and the matter
was carried before the directors of
the league but nothing was done and
Jean did not get the money.
Manager Starkle went out to New
Britain yesterday to see Manager
Hanna but was not allowed to see
him. Mr Hanna is in the New Bri
tain hospital with typhoid" fever and
no visitors are allowed. - Manager
Starkle said last night that he would
give an answer, to Jean In a few
days. Jean was willing to buy the
franchise and team outright or he
would take a half interest. Mr
Starkle said he was undecided about
the matter but he looked favorably
upon the proposition and he said he
might sell a half Interest to Jean.
He said he had his team engaged
with the exception of a center man
and Jean would fill In pretty good at
that position. If a deal is made,
Jean will play - center, captain the
team and have full charge of the
team. Mr Starkle will lock after
the business end of the enterprise.
If Jean comes here to captain the
team' he will favor having the game,
played at the - Auditorium- rather
than at Luna park. Manager Starkle
had practically decided to have the
games at Luna park but if he takes
In a partner, he may change his
plans and play In the Auditorium.
This would be a safer proposition
as If there was a blizzard some night
and the cars were stalled out at
Charter Oak park, the accommoda
tions for spending the night In the
rink would not commend themselves.
While the negotiations are under
way there is but one thing-that is
sure and that is if Jean comes here
he will bury that New Britain bunch
when they come together.
Jean said he had made Hanna an
offer top lay for $15 a week less
salary than, last year providing Han
na would pay him what he claims
Is his due from last season. Mr Han
na wrote him making an offer to
hire him at a cut of $40 in salary.
Jean said he sent back a curt reply
turning the offer down flat. , He
would not play for Hanna. He in
tends going out to the Ohio state
league if the Hartford deal doesn't
go through. -
Soxy Lyons, last year's halfback
is anxious to play with the New Bri
tain team again this season.
- A New Haven paper says that the
New Haven base ball club and fran
chise will be sold to Jar; es H. Wilkes,

gaged In 81 fights,' of '666 rounds.
Forty-six of these battles were vic
tories, 12 of .them defeats and 23
of them draws. He knocked out op
ponents 28 times.
"To be truthful about this matter,"
said Nelson, "these fights Tiave netted
me over $100,000, and I have taken
down 'over a third more in theatri
cals. All this Is soundly invested,
and when I retire, I will be indepen
dently rich." r.i
In Nelson's book the champion will
tell of . his first, fight in Hegewlsch,
111., on September .3, 1896. For this
he received $1' When he went to
look for his coat' he found that It
was missing, and at the same time
a' pay envelope containing a week's
salary, $5.60. and a Waterbury
watch, were gone.
"That $5.50 looked mighty big. to
me then." says Nelson. "But now It
is different. I was paid $1,200 at
the Trocadero in Chicago las week
showing with' the pictures, and I'll
get $1,100 here for the same stunt."
WOULD WEAR WHISKERS.
. Pittsburg, -Pa.' Oct 16. Another
monumental blunder has been added
to Rube Waddell's long list of mis
deeds in western Pennsylvania. Mill
vale has lost , the. four borough pen
nant and Rube is blamed for it. He
promised to pitch for $100. When the
Etna team learned; that Millville was
to spring'soihe fingers a list of play
ers" was demanded. This bad bit of
news was transmitted to Rube, who
said It didn't matter, that he could
disguise himself so that none in the
valley would know him.
So under an Innocent looking name
the great pitcher was entered for the
finals in'the valley championship. He
reached this neck of . woods Wednes
day but could not agree with the
Millville management, as to the sort
of disguise he should don. He want
ed to drive into the field on a hay
wagon and go in with chlri whiskers
and overalls but Millville wouldn't
stand for this. Rube refused to don
tights and short skirts and go In as
a ballet dancer, and the whole pow
wow ended In a fuss, and "Lefty"
George went into .the game instead
of the mighty Rube and lost.
BASE BALL NOTES.
The Chicago Nationals have draft
ed Tommy Downey, the former sec
ond baseman for Bridgeport., Dow
ney has played the past season with
Birmingham in the Southern league.
One hundred admirers of Harry
CovaleskI, the Philadelphia Nation
als pitcher, who recently defeated
New York three times, tendered him
a banquet at his home in Shamokin,
Pa, the other night and presented
him with a gold watch and chain. !
Harry Wolverton will probably
manage the Newark Tigers next sea
eon. WOlverton; formerly played
with the Philadelphia and Boston
National league teams. , When with
Boston he Jumped to the Tri-State
league, and after the. settlement of
the outlaw war Wllltamsport gained
a title to "Wolverton by paying $500
to Boston.
,' One of the biggest deals In the his
tory of base ball is said to be under
way. Hughey Jennings of the De
troit Tigers wants Hal Chase, the
Highlander first baseman who quit
the club this -summer. He would
also like Conroy and Morlarlty. In
exchange for Chase he is willing to
give the Highlanders George Mullin,
Rossman, Downs,-KHIifer and a cash
bonus for Conroy and Morlarlty.
;They u sajr-that when Jennings
supplanted Summer' with Winter he
made a seasonable change, but after
all Chicago did the Tigers up Brown.
The Cubs Kling.to first place be
cause while they took every Chance
they did not Tinker with their team.
And they do say that Steinfeldt like
Killian Mullin when he won that
game Overall they could do to stop
him, but the whole team knew How
ard the Job was and have kept them
apart Evers since. " ,
Hal Chase, the premier first base
man of the New York Highlanders,
who Jumped to the Stockton team In
the California state league, Is re
ceiving $1,000 to play out the re
mainder, of the season with Manager
Cy Moreing. This sum with trans
portation both Tor" 'himself and wife
from New Yort to California, was of
fered by Moreing. ." Chase was hired
to playtwenty-three games, te num
ber on schedule; and at the above
rate Is getting about $4 5 a game.
' It has become known that. Billy
Murray, manager of the Philadelphia
Nationals, refused $10,000 a year to
supervise the destinies of the Cleve
land Americans. Murray," the story
relates, was offered the princely sal
ary under a five year, contract. . He
rejected it because he had already
signed a Quaker contract for ' next
season. This means that the "bell"
has or Is about to ring on "Nap" La
Jole's managerial career and he will
probably not ' lead' Cleveland when
the 1909 pennant chase begins.
The New Yorks; although ther lost
the National league pennant, won fn
the ' receipts league. New York's
profits for the year Are in the neigh
borhood - of $200,000 the largest
clean-up ever made by a club In the
big leagues. There was only one day
when the attendance got near the
1,000 mark, that date being August
6, when Cincinnati, against their
wishes, were compelled to play a
game started long after the schedule
time. Then It rained until 3:30
o'clock and the field was thoroughly
soaked.
During the past season there were
163 shutouts In the National league.
The American league had 131, 40 of
which were of the 1. to 0 kind.. The
American league had 63 overtime
games, the longest of which went six
teen Innings, Chicago beating the
Athletics 5 to 4, tying Washington
2 to 2. and Washington beating St
Louis 2 to 1. There were 51 long
games In the National.three of them
going seventeen innings. Chicago
snd Boston tied 1 to 1, Brooklyn lost
to Pittsburg 1 to 0, and tied Phila
delphia, X to S. ,
