It appears that Jack Dentley, who I8 a mere $65,000 beauty, intends to demand part of his purchase price from the RBaltimore club before he affixes his John Han- |eock to the handsome contract that John MeGraw has sent him, Bentley Likes the Giants, “Don't think that I am dissatisfied with the terms of your contract,” the |southpaw wrote Becretatry Jim Tier- |ney yesterday, “Not a bit of it. In fact, I am delighted and gratified at the generosity of the New York club, I have not malled the contract yet, but it is entirely satisfactory, How- ever, I am going to try to persuade Jack Dunn to give me part of ‘the $66,000 that was paid for me.” | And there's the rub for the Giants, Bentley may be delighted and grati- fied with his Glant contract, but it is not likely that he will sign it unless he has had his way with Jack Dunn, Signing the contract would render |him powerless to press his demand; refusing to sign might mean that the Giants would endeavor to persuade Mr. Dunn that Bentley ought to have | HOLY CRO!

Every quality that goes into the making of a star, Kaskey displayed in the events yesterday. When he won the 440-yard dash, forcing Gor- | man into second position, with! Hearn third, he proved that he had | speed to spare. The absence of Charles Jewtraw of ILake Placid, who was kept off the ice by injuries he received Wednesday, and the poor showing of the so-called favorites, 8| played no part in Kaskey's victory, g for the watches caught the Chicago | fiyer at 88 2-5 seconds and this is a new record for the local track. Kaskey's victory in the three-mile event proved his endurance, pluck and rink craft. Twenty-three men faced the starter. When the third mile began only 10 remained. A hot pace set by Garnett, Perleberg and R. Regd of Chicago, all of whom led the pack for various distances, had killed off the rest, including Gorman.
