Mich., Jan. 13 and Fort Erie will not be active bers of the Grand Circuit this year. The stewards of the harness-racing organization, .in session here yester- day, prepared the 1915 racing sche- dule and added Montreal to the cir- suit. The Canadian city will have two race meetings of three days each, to fill the gap caused by the withdrawal of Fort Krie and Pitts- burg. Pittsburg, it was said, declded to remain out of the circuit until the driving club obtained a new track. No reason was announced for Fort withdrawal, but it is under- that the horsemen generally favored giving Montrea] two succes- meetings The law governing harness horse meetings at Montreal, allows only three days racing in a week.

The stewards made several changes in the rules governing the Grand Circuit, but failed to adopt the four- heat racing system recommended by the rules committee at its meeting in Cleveland last month. Hereafter each association may adopt any system it desires. After this year eligibility to early | closing events will be determined ac- cording to a horse's race record, | whether winning or losing.

However, it is more than likely that Agnew will come to New York in a deal which will include either Sweeney or Nunamaker, a right- handed pitcher now on the Yank staff, and a wad of coin Agnew Is Poor Swatsmith. When the Yanks 1910, Sweeney looked as though he might develop into one of the star catchers in the game, as he was one of the right then. But Big Ed drooped with the sagging Yankee fortunes, Had Stallings remained in charge of the club Sweeney’'s play- ing history might read entirely dif- ferent. Though Agnew is a grand catcher and has a fine throwing arm, he would not add iota to the Yankees' hitting department. Weak ‘hitting is all that kept Agnew from stardom, He maced the leather for only .208 in 104 games in 1913, and raised his average only four point in 113 games last season. Nunamaker, who may be sacrificed for Agnew, hit .2 in ninety-one games, while Sweeney hit a point bet- ter than Agnew (.213) in eighty-seven games. Agnew drove in only seven- teen runs last season, Nunamaker twenty-six and Sweeney twenty-one Sweeney would be a very hard man to trade to the Browns, as he held up the Yanks a three-year war con- may member of it a between comes become next season, now brewing the Brownies a deal to a Bill Dono- were second, in best an to (Continued on Ninth Page.) the | flelding | | club | the { Winn SPRINGFIELD IN THE NEW OUTLAW LEAGUE Orgamzer Doesn’t Care Whelher Carey Comes Into Circu.
