Luck appears to be favoring Balti
more wrth her choicest smiles Just
now. Yesterday- the champions were
scheduled to play Pittsburg, who have
been an Important factor In the race
for the pennant this Beason. VVt
grounds prevented the game. Then
Baltimore's luck took Its turn. Cleve
land, the club that Is trying to dis
place Baltimore as the leader, went up
against Boston, and lost, although on
the previous day they defeated the
Hubltes two to one.
Seranton lost its game to Buffalo
through Inability to bat, and Wllkos
Barre also sustained a defeat at Ro
chester. Hodsen gave a remarkable
exhibition of pitching at Syracuse,
holding the Stars down to two hits.

games with three figures after tomor

Buffalo Takes Another Game from Scran
v ton with Great Ease.
Buffalo, Aug. 29. Seranton could not
solve Herndon's curves today when hits
meant runs. Joe was very effective
with the men on bases, and several
times the visitors were retired with the
bases full. '
Buffalo played a fine fielding game,
and her base . runners took great
chances. It Is freely expected that Buf
falo will make it three straight from
Seranton, as she did from Rochester
and Syracuse. Ten out of the last
eleven games is Buffalo's present run.

hit -Betts hard when hits were needed

With three men on mases In the fourth
Inning, Breckenridge batted them
home with an elegant double to far

The feature of the game was Daly's
one-handed catch while on a dead run,
of a fly from Betts' bat that retired
the side and saved two runs. The
Wllkes-Barres were unable to bunch
their hits on Hewitt and most of their
long drive came when the bases were
empty. -

DIAMOND DUST.
Tim Hurst nmpired his first game at
Washington Wednesiiay atter being made
a National league umpire.
First Baseman Clark, of the New York
club, will probably be released, as Ban
nun a doing great work in that position.
Philadelphia Record.
Tim Hurst will finish the season as a Na
tional league umpire. President Powers,
of the Kastern league, has given way to
the major organization.
St. Louis has just four men capable of
phiyimr in the big lleague. They are
Coole, Ely, Pelts and Breitensteln. Some
of the others are but little above the ama
teur ranks. New York World.
Syracuse scribes have finally quit "tout
ing" the Stars along s pennant winners.
They are now rooting for 'third place, will
be satisfied with fourth, and will probably
secure tilth In the .'Mai tl.uflle. Buff ilo
Courier.
New York has signed a new first base
man named McFadilen, and this even after
buying William Clark from iScranton,
who was not allowed to continue on the
team hew-use of a very peculiar reason.
Wllkes-Barre Record.
Captain Davis, of New York, will hardly
be able to cover third base again for sev
eral weeks, and perhaps not again this
season. His arm, which was hurt early -in
the season, has been Injured worse than
ever, and nothing but a rest will bring it
around. .
Doescher's feel'.nijs are altosether too
tender for a base ball umpire. He re
signs regularly twice a season. The way
to treat discourteous ami disreputable
players Is to put them out of the game
the way he did Strieker here. The man
who calls umpires vile names Injures no
one but himself. Springfield Union.

Last year Dr. Rico won tho Brooklyn
handicap from a good field, but some of
his races since then were barely up to
good selllng-plmter clu's. In the spring he
was badly beaten by the then nonrationnl
Simmons, and now the latter Is not able
to win a soiling race. One day last week
he came In lot In a field of five, and no
crackajacks among them at that.
In referring to the race won by Waltzer
at Sheepshead Bay last Saturday most
reports claim that he broke tho record on
a circular track by running the distance

IT WAS A VERY EXCITING RACE

Bid Not Pace m Mil
Without Breaking.
Fleetwood 'Park, 'N. T., Aug. 29. A
record breaking crowd gathered at
Fleetwood park today to witness the
$5,ooo pacing free-for-all. In which Joe
Putchen, Robert J and John It. Gentry
came together for the first time. There
were 10,000 persons on the track when
the horses appeared at 2.15, and they
were still pouring through the gates in
great numbers. Joe il'atchen was a hot
favorite at 4 to 5, Robert J at 7 to S,
John R. lien try at 3 to 1 and Mascot at
20 to 1.
The first heat was a good dent of a
fluke. Gentry was laid up, Robert J
going to the front, followed by Putchen
and Mascot, a length apart to the half
In 1.0:'. At the il'olnt of Rocks Joe
Patchen and Robert J broke simul
taneously, and Mascot took -the lead;
but Robert J caught quickly, and com
ing very fast in the etretch, easily
beat Mascot out In 2.0C. Uentry was
third and Patchen, who made a bad
break, was fourth. Robert J won the
second heat all the way. Joe Patchen
broke before he reached the first turn,
after which Curry luld him up.
Thev Forced the Race.
Mascot and Gentry went after the
Hamlin gelding, forcing him to pace the
first quarter In 30H, the half In 1.04 and
the three-quarters in 1.3354 without
touching the limit of hla speed. Mc
Henry made a hard drive In the stretch
with John iR. Uentry, getting up to
within an open length of him, but fall
ing to bring Geers to a drive with the
record holder, who crossed the line a
clever winner In 2.1H4, the fastest time
ever made by a pacer or a trotter on the
Fleetwood track.
Mascot was three or four lengths
away and Joe Patchen landed Just In
side the distance. 'Robert J won the
third heat, John R. Gentry second. Mas
cot third, Joe Patchen fourth. Time.
2.04.
In the third heat the quartette went
away closely bunched at a record
smashing clip. Running for the Point
of Rocks Robert J. was ahead, but
Patchen was seen to be gaining stead
ily but slowly, when all of a sudden
the black horse made a tangled break
and fell away behind. Gentry, too,
faltered, for Patchen had run into his
aulky, tearing off the rim of the wheel.
Stern lihnsu to the Wire.
From there to the wire It was a stern
chase after Robert J wholn Geers had
simply to steady, and let sail without
coming to a drive. Gentry was four
lengths behind at the finish. Mascot as
far back of him and Joe Patchen Just
Inside of the flag. Geers said after the
race that his horse was driven almost
at his best today, and the fast time of
the second and third heats would Indi
cate that Robert J. has recovered his
old time form.
The race waa a disappointment to
horsemen Inasmuch as Joe Patchen
never paced a single heat without a
break, thus leaving In doubt the ques
tion as to whether he could speed with
Robert J. The summaries tell the
story of the other two races on the
card.
The special feature of the card to
morrow will be Azote's effort to beat
the world's trotting record of 2.03.

response saying that there was no
scandal connected with the sale of the
beer, which, they stated, waa done
merely to cover the cost of manufac

expense of the internal revenue tax.
The total amount manufactured, it
waa stated, was In the neighborhood
of four barrels a week, which they re
garded as an Insignificant output. The
Benedictines announce, however, their
readiness to see what can be done In
the matter to quiet the criticisms.

' WHAT RIIK WASTED,
So fair was she, '
As all agree, -The
clerks all rushed to serve her;
On her they beamed,
But glances eeemed 1
In soms way to unnerve hor,
. All waited meek,
For her to speak.
But still she hesitated;
Her fare seemed flushed
In feet she blushed.
It may as well be stated. .
"I want " she stopped;
Her eyelids dropped;
Her face a sun resembled. '
"I want " Again
She paused, and then , i
Her voice ssnk low and trembled.
Though she was new,
Alas, 'tis true,
She found the scene most trying.
. She came to get -A
trifle, yet -
She felt much more like flying.
'.' ' The boldest terk, " '
WMh bow and smirk,- " -'
Then Uiougbt to eureir fstoh her.
."I want." she said, . .. .
Her race deep red, . '
"I want a trousers stretcher." '
