Over $400.000 Offered This Season for Early Closing Events and Futuritios. ‘When the tralning season opens in full blast the men in charge of the horses that are in preparation for the 1813 Grand Circuit and their owners will have the exireme satisfaction of knowing that & total of over $460,000 will be at thetr disposal as early clos- tng events, including the six import- snt colt stakes that will be raced down the big line. Tiis amount is a record for the Grand Circuit on account of the additional members in line this vear and Lexington being a member for the first time in its history. It is also the largest sum of money ever hung up for trotters because none of the big line members is offering less this year than formerly, while many heve made notable additions to the number and vaine of the feature events. As the Grand Circuii extends to 15 weeks this year, the average amount for each week, in early closine events alone, is $21,000 for racing men.

SUGDEN WOULDN'T PAY. Veteran Tiger_ C:a(;thredited With Abolishing Custom of Players Pay- ing for Uniforms, eteran coach of the Joe Sugden, the Detreit Tigers, is credited with having| been instrumental in doing away with the old custom of leagus ball teams. of making the players pay for their uniforms. he was accustomed to -have $30 taken out of his first pay to reimburse the club for two uniforms and & sweater or coat. Way back in 18060 Joe brought the matter of paying for the suits to an issue. He won out over Charlie Comiskey and established a precedent, “When I went to Chicago,” says Sue- den, “I determined to make a fight to| have the club buy the playing suits, and I won my point after a wordy bat- tle with Comiskey. The first gheck I received was $25.50 short and 1 asked { Commy what it was for,though 1 knew { perfectly well. He told me I had been docleed to pay for the two uniforms {that I had received.

This material is easlly prepared by meiting common asphalt in o kettle or boiler, and, while stirring the mass, adding crude oil until a sample taken from the mixture shows suitable varnish consistency after cooling. It is, how- ever, sometimes desired to use a var- nish other than black, and in these , especially where high polished or zinc surfaces have to be dealt with, the so-called gold varnishes wiil be found of advantage, cleaning a radiator that bacome foul as a result of accumulations of sediment or scale is to eonnect it with a boller anl allow steam to blow { through it for an hour or two. It is necessary, of course, to make sure that | not enough pressure accumuiates to burst any of the tubes. For ordinary deposits of sediment it is usually suf- ficient to disconnect the outlet at the base of the radiator and insert a hose at the top, letting clean water run through until the stream issuing at the vottom runs perfectly clear.

NUMBER 29, | McClellan Race Arranged—I| Agree to | Let Him Win—Only Terms | Which He Would Race—Time Look- { ed Like New Record, But Track Was Short. Upon my arrival in Pittsburg I held a conference with Sheehan and decided | to at once post a forfeit and issue a | challenge to any man in America. I | had improved wonderfully in speed since leaving the east, owing to my ning, at Brownsville, and 1 was of confidence. Accordingly we paid a visit to the office of the Pitts- burg Dispateb, the leading sporting paper, posted $50 and issued the fol- {lowing challenge: “A Very Big Chal- | ler J. D. MoCabe arrived in the | city yesterday and last evening he left | & deposit of $50 at this offlce, accom- panied by the following challenge: I now put up a forfeii to run any man | or men in America & race of 25 miles ! for $100 a side and all receipts, or I ! will join in a sweepstakes with any number of American runners, winner | to take !l the stakes, and a propor- tionate share of the recelpts. The race can be rup as soon as Christmus day on either an indoor or outdoor track. If 25 miles is too far, I will run 1% miles under the same conditions as above. My challenge is open to all. “J. D. M'CABE.” This challenge created considerable talik in sporting circles the following { day, and 1 expected to see an answer from Priddy or McClelland the follow- | ing day. But to my surprise the chal. | lenge was not accepted, and I was | about to withdraw my forfeit when Sheshan, accompanied by a stranger called on me at the hotel. He intro- duced the stranger as & friend of Mc- Clelland, who had come to see me with a view to arranging a race on Christ- mas day if I would consent to the con- ditions, which were as follows: That the race should be 15 mfles, for a1 equal division of rocelpts, and tha' McClelland must be the winner. He waid the gate money should amount to $500, if the day was pleasant,.and that theso were the only conditions Mc- Cleliand would consider. Sheshan advised me to accept, as e said ¥ had no backers in Pittsburg to Jose money on me, and that I should makes 2ll I could before leaving for home. This appeared to me to be good sense, and I consented to the terms and the preliminarles wers quickly ar- ranged, Sheehan and McCleliand’s bl-ams polflnt uncertified checks for the full amoun . of ke of the supposed stakes at the newspaper office. It was by this method that nearly all ihe big races for $3500 and $1,000 = side, run at Piitsburg for years, wers made, no rezl stakes 'bdnifinv the gate money and sids bets being all at stake. Y trained for this race at Bxposition park, the National league ball grounds, end was soon in the pink of condition. A few days befcre this race was to be Tun 1 vaceived a letter from wmy Brownsville friends informing me thal they would be down with plenty of meney to bask me. A proposition was at onece made to me by Pittsburg peo- ple to throw them down. but this offer T refuged, and at once informed them conditions of the race, and told on | ot be worth their while leasant for as, but on cold wave swept the country and Christmas dawned cold, cloudy and cheeriess. A track had been lz2id out at Expoasition park meas | uring four laps (o the mile, part eof which was very rough and in some | places covered with ice. The day was | Intensely cold, the thormometer regis- tering 10 degrees below zero. A crowd of 500 people braved the bitter cold to witness the race and the estimate of a §500 gate under favorable circum- stances was not far astray. Quite & I number of my Brownsville friends had come down to eee the race and ex- pressed regret that they could not make or lose a dollar on 1t. At 2.80 o'cloek McClelland appeared on the track, dressed in & suit of red flanmel, and was groeted with a rear, which was repeated a minuto later when I come to the lime. At the start McClelland took the lead, running the first mile in fm. 13s. I passed the two mile post im 10m 80s, with a lead of two yards. Me- Clelland soon after took up the run- ning, passing the five mile mark in 27m. 238, At eight miles I again took the lead and passed thes ten mile post in 56m. 28, having then a lead of 10 yards. I was then feeling better than at any time during the wace and I put on some extra speed and pussed the 12 mile mark in 1h. Tm. being then about 40 yerds in advance of McCle!l- land, who appeared greatly distressed at this point. Sheeban, who stcod by the then sald to me: “You can win mtr‘.dfi you wish; but do as you please” T saw he spoke the truth, but I hed glven m{o word to McClelland and I decided do as I had agreed. 8o I slackened my apeed, allowing him to recover, and we entered the last lap together, McClelland winning by a fow s r a t spurt In 1h, 28m., 80k, and breaking the American record bg 1m. 30s. The Clipper Annual of 1801 contains an account of this race. The Pittsburg P-.peru had the track remeasured and it was found to he about 400 yards short in all the dis- tance, thus preventing MeClelland from getting the rgord. The Dispatch e2id it was undoubtedly the greatest race at this distance ever run, consid- or::& the condition of track end w er. 1 received $7% for this race, and after dressing we crossed to the eity, where after a merry supper McClelland, Shee. han, my Brownsville friends and sev- eral sporting men, accompanied me to {he depot and bade me farewell, and 1 boarded a train for New York in raging blizzard.
