owners- of the American association
club at Minneapolis, negotiated the
agreement. These brothers owned a
strip of land that ran directly through
the center of the plot that, Charley
Weeghman wanted to buy onvhlch to
build a park. ' Weeghman interviewed
the Cantlllons about buying the plot.
They consented to sell It if Weegh
man would guarantee that the Fed
eral league would take no players
from the American association. Weegh
man. after conferring with President
Gilmore, made . the . promise and the'
park was sold. .
..Tliat this agreement has been lived
up to Is evidenced byf the fact, that
not "an - American association player
has been taken by the Federal league.
One was taken" for a very short time.
He was returned quickly when Presi
dent Gilmore learned he had ,been
taken. : 1 ' .
Mordecai Brown; whn he was man
aging ths St. Louis Federals, grabbed
a second baseman from Louisville. Ho
gavehlm a $1000 'bonus to Join the
club.' Then a yell went up. The Can
tlllons sent a-ppotest to Gilmore.-The
latter got busy and made Brown give
the player back. Brown did and got
the surprlse of his life when the play
er sent him back his $1000.

New York. May 1. Racing after all
may be coming Into its own again in
New York, despite the not over san
guine, prognostications of those; who
figured that a 1915 season, conducted
along; the lines of the various race
meetings of last year, would end in a
natural death for.. the sport of kings.
"An f analysis of the 1914 report of
the state racing commission, while it
does not give admission figures to .the
various tracks', sheas considerable
light of a glowingly brilliant hue on
the amount of money distributed to
horsemen in stakes and purses. In 94
racing days, $426,000 went to 'the own
ers of the thoroughbreds. . This Indi
cates,! considering that the promoters
admit small profit, that about "(700,000
was taKen in.
Very nice sums these, but the' aver
age horsenan asks more. He has been
wont to gaze upon variegated figures
such for instance, as those handed out
by the man -who prints the advance
stake programs for coming meetings.
In the amounts to be hung up for the
various events lies bis main Interest.
So when the announcement was made
definitely ! that the historic futurity,
one of the richest stakes In the world,
will be run in future at Belmont park
during the . autumn meeting, it was
even - more encouraging than the re
port of the commission. The past three
years saw the big 2-year-old classic
fought, out on the final day at Sara
toga, adding materially; to the prestige
and profit of . the up-state race meet
ing. Only the sale of jthe Sheepshead
Bay grounds prevented a restoration
ofthe futurity to a Veritable sern
blance of the days when it was marked
by the grat racing duel jof tbe Whit-ney-Keene
Interests and the memorable
occasion when the - wonderful Sysonby
quit cold when the still more wonder
ful, but unfortunate, Whitney mare.

fey Charles (Chick) Evan.
San Francisco, Cial., ,May 1. (I. N.
S.) The bright particular star"of the
first . round of- the (open championship
of the Panama-Pacific exposition was
Walter Hagen, the national open cham
pion. After making a good 74 in the
morning round he made the first nine
holes! In the afternoon in 30- a. truly
phenomenal score. i .
His total of 140 for. the 36 holes In
the, professional record for the course,
as is also Tils 66. tt was golf worthy
of any open champion, and was per
haps; the most remarkable ever, played.,
not only on the Pacific coast, but In
the whole country.f
Davls Banked. High.
Next to Hagen , came Harry Davis,
the P. T. I. E. -amateur champion, with
two well played 72's, Davis is without
a doubt one of the first five amateur
golfers of this country, in spite of the
fact that he is' not rated in the United
States handicap.' list. All tbe players
at this tournament are agreed that he
knows the game very thoroughly.
There are few people in this country
who can drive as far as he, and he
plays an - excellent iron shot, and he
putts very, very well.'
In fact, ist was his putting more than
anytning else which allowed him to
lead the nearest amateur by sli shots,
and to be the only one who Is within
hailing 'distance of Hagen, and far be
It from me to say that he has not a.
chance to catch our notable open cham
pion. ; They play together tomororw,
and lit should be very interesting, with
the rest of the field struggling for
third place.- ; - V -
