It appears to be the general opin- ion among horsemen that there will be racing in Kentucky next fall. In spite reports to the contrary. In fact, the announcement of the dates is expected within 'the next, few days, and the fact that the ma- jority of the horses which raced at Latonia were shipped to Lexington, shows how the wind blows. It is expected that Lexington, Churchill Downs and Douglas Park will each get eleven days, while Latonia will have nineteen days.

This Proposal of Boston American League Club. A suggestion to end major league baseball season at the com- pletion of 100 games of the sched- ule, with a world championship ser- ies between the winning clubs in the American and National League clubs early mext month in 'case Pre- sident Wilson upliolds fhe .ruling of Secretary of War Baker that base- ball players come under the "Work or Fight" order, was telegraphed to the National Baseball Commission by President H. H. Frazee of the Boston jAmerican League Club. President (Frazee said he would not consider the [possibility of con-| tinuing the seasom with the array, of [inferior players it would be ne- cessary to call upon. Of the Red Sox stars only Shean, Wagner, Whiteman and Truesdale would be left. Shean and [Wagner fare the only regulars, The Boston Americans have play- ed 86 games of their schedule and have a comfortable lead.- Under the plan suggested by President Frazee the season would close with two- thirds of the schedule completed. If the ruling is enforced the Bos- ton Nationals would have only four players left--Ragan, Hughes, Kon- etchy and Herzog. } Srna the Dick Rudolph's History. Dick Rudolph, star. heaver of the Boston Braves, has been pitching for fourteen years, but the passing of time doesn't seem to feaze him. He started pitching for Fordham College back in 1905, and two years later he was on his way to stardom as a member of the Toronto club of the old Eastern League, after hav- ing had a lot of additional seasoning with a semi-professional club at Rut- land, Vt., and with New Haven in the Connecticut League. His first full season with Toron- to was a busy' one, for hé took part in thirty-one games, winning thirteen and losing eight, After that he de- veloped rapidly and on three occa- sions won more than twenty games a season for the Maple Leafs, ¢ In 1911 Rudolph was given a trial by the Giants, but John McGraw did not believe he was ready for the big show and sent him back to the To- ronto club, That decision was one of the mistakes McGraw has made in judging Players and he has re- gretted it since, for in 1913 Rudolph was traded to the Boston club and what he has done in the way of stand- ing National Leagpe batters on their heads is too well known to repeat here. Te Rudolph was a holdout this sea- son until late in May, when he final- ly came to 'terms with the Braves and signed his contract. In his first start of the season he beat the Reds, letting Matty's team down with one hit, and he proved conclusively that he has lost none of his cunning in the box, Early in the spring he tried to pur- chase his release from the Braves, for $10,000, but could not put the deal over, Manager Stallings knows well whiat he is worth, ARCHER IS RELEASED. Pittsburg Has No Further Use for - Veteran Catcher. Jimmie Archer, veteran major league catcher, has been given his unconditional release, according to announcement by officials of the Pittsburg Nationals. The Pirates are well supplied in the catchers' department, and this, together with the fact that Archer did not reach his batting stride this season, was the cause of the release, Golf for War Wretched Hero. Although far {from a cheerful ht it has been intimated that golf wil] be more popular than even after the war, because those . who come home minus a leg or an arm will be able to turn to this form of recreation and still bring off the shots in a creditable manner. The case of Ernest Jones, the English professional, who lost a leg in France, is almost an exaniple. Jones plays round in almost old-time form on his reconstructed leg, and thére dre other instances of crippled sol- diers in England and {Canada who are now getting great enjoyment on the Binks. . i Leads American Turf Winners. | Commander Ross, a Canadian naval officer, leads the list of Am- erican turf winners 'with $47,936, mainly through ihe winnings of his good colt Cudgel.

The cup was won by David W. Bishop, and was sent in by his*widow to be exchanged for war saving stamps. The story is told ot two promin- ent local fishermen who heard of a creek some fifty miles from the city which was said to be full of trout. They started in the early hours of the morning, having heard that the break of daylight is the best time during the heat of the summer month, After two punctures and a trip which took in half Ontario, they finally reached their destination, and, having put up their rods, one turned to the other and said: "Well, old chap, give me a hook." "Do you mea to tell me that yon haven't got the hooks?" Tableau, and a silent drive home again, 2 -- According to a London cable; Sergt.
