EXCESSIVE HEAT PREVENTS GOOD START IN LOCAL TOURNAMENT - STEELTON WINS BUSY'S LASSIE AGAIN WINNER I lakes Rich Paper Mills Stake at Kalamazoo; Walter Cox Driver Kalamazoo, Mich., Aug:. 2. —Busy's Lassie, the New Jersey mare which won the SIO,OOO M. and M. stake at Detroit last week, repeated her vic tory in another SIO,OOO Grand Cir cuit I'ace, the Paper Mills stake for 2.08 trotteds yesterday this time winning in straight heats. The field in each race was much the same. This was the third time Walter Cox has won the Paper Mills stake, and the best time for the event yes terday, 2.05 equals the record for the race. The first heat was easily taken by Busy's Lassie, with Pitts burgh, piloted by Tommy Murphy, furnishing most of the opposition. In the second heat Lon McDonald tried hard with Early Dreams and forced Busy's Lassie to trot the mile in 2.06 to win in a whipping finish. Busy's Lassie Takes Lead The McDonald entry then seemed to have a chance to win, but Busy's Lassie showed a strong reserve. Trailing to the half in the third heat, Busy's Lassie rushed to the front and trotted the final quarter in 79% sec onds, shaking off all opposition and winning in 2.05*4. Busy's Lassie was marked at odds of $25 to SIOO in the betting. Harvest Gale was first choice of the bettors in the 2.12 trot for three year-olds, but Miss Bertha Dillon breezed by him in the stretch in both heats. "Pop" Greers made a strong bid for the 2.14 pace, receiving much en couragement from the crowd. With Spy Direct, he took the third and fourth heats, after Ben Billings, the favorite, had won the first two. A bad break In the fifth heat just af ter passing the quarter pole robbed Greers of his chance and Ben Bill ings then won easily. nh&Qekcdl J3& - I SCORES OF YESTERDAY National tengiie New York. 3; Pittsburgh, 1.

Old Kid Heat yesterday won the decision over the Wolfe Boy and the latter has re treated to the cooling shades of the whippoorwills along the shores of the Severn, where is situated his pretty little shore. Determination has been the secret of the Kid's success. Seldom, if ever, has he failed to go through with anything he started out to accom plish. Recently there came an offer for the Kid to battle Gussie Lewis six rounds in Philadelphia the middle of this month. Yes, siree, it was a real chunky offer and the kale, thought the Kid, would look mighty nice tacked onto his ever-swelling bankroll. Hold Consultation Wartnik, in his studious manner, thought over the matter. He piped to the Kid: "It's a little warm. * C & Gran Copyright, 1917. The Tribune Association (Nev York Tribune). SONG OF THE STALWART When each red fight has been well fought— • When each hard race has been well run; When we have gained the peace we've sought With no more battles to be won— =~ When friends no longer need my aid, And cloudless swings the summer sky— When weak hearts beat on unafraid In breasts that know no sob or sigh— When Love is true and Life is faith, And on no back there falls the rod; When honor Is no more a wraith And no one fears to meet his God — When Wrong lies dead and Right is king, And there are no more tears to weep; No cheering songs of faith to sing And all the earth is lulled to sleep— When all the weary millions come From blood-swept fields to hearths of home. When no one hears the rolling drum On batted land nor crimson foam— Though worn and old —dust unto dust My body sinks—to other lands My soul shall break from out Its crust And still fight on with bold commands. ADVENTURES OF A CONTRIB Sleepy Steve, the well-known citizen of Goshen, Ind., came to New York for some golf. But it seems that he was forced to play most of his game upon the subway, where he claims that he over-approached three times in succession, was trapped on two occasions by thte crowd and finally got hooked Into an unplayable lie in a big jam. After which he decided to return and complete his game at Grandold Goshen. SHAKESPEARE ON THE CINCINNATI RED'S REVIVAL "Let us not burden our remembrance with a heaviness that's gone." "Time is the nurse and breeder of all good"— "The greater throw may turn by fortune from the weaker hand"— "Where is the life they led?" "Presume not that I am the thing I was"— 'Xong as my exile, sweet as my revenge"— "My joy lies onward and my grief behind." FREAK FIGURES The sacrifice hit game and the base stealing game are always supposed to be opposite ways of attack. The club that sacrifices rarely tries much of the other. They are opposite arts. Yet the figures this season show that the Cleveland club has made more sacrifice hits and has also stolen more bases than any other team in the major circle. MODERN MAXIMS The clerk with a pull gets an advance; but ,the golfer with a pull gets Into trouble. Few look upon death as the only one certain, thing of life. The only sure way of beating Fate Is to outgame it. BUT SAYING, PAUSE— Say that he's there with the hop to his fast one; Say that his curve is a pippin—a peach; Say the last hit that was made js the LAST one, Say that he keeps them well out of their reach; Say he's the bird that invented good pitching; Say his control is a thing to possess; Say that his slow ball has even Cobb switching, Say he has speed like an airplane express; Say he's the master of all present pitchers, Say he's the best of the present day great; Say he's a pitcher than which there's no whicher, But DON'T say he's good as the Matty of 'OB. M. I. L. "Who has been our best pitcher-batter of recent years?' asks J. C. P. Without burning an abnormal amount of midnight oil in diligent re search, we should say Babe Ruth was about as lusty a swatsman as any pitcher we know of. Also as any outfielder or in.fielder. As applied to the draft —"Many are called and 687,000 of them are chosen." The White Sox won a pennant eleven years ago, and their favorite volume at present seems to be "Paradise regained." Petticoat Lost, She Goes on With Dance St. Louis, Mo. Quests at the weekly dinner dance at Sunset HIU Country Club are telling their friends of a little incident that lost none of Its spice through the adroit manner in which the young couple who par- 1 tiolpated in It bridged what might have been an embarrassing moment for them. The dancing balcony was thronged with couples whirling through a pep pery trot when a filmy garment slip ped down upon the feet of a young woman ii\ the center of the floor. Without losing a measure of the dance, she Bteipped out of the petti coat—for such it was—telling her partner at the same time to pick it up. Suiting his action to her word, he stooped, grabbed the garment in his hand, crumbled it thrust it un der his coat—all without hesitating In the dance. Then they trotted a way towards the women's dressing ■room, while the other dancerß who had witnessed the episode smilingly voiced among themselves their ap proval of the way in which the in-, cident had been handled.

Ban Johnson Would Like to See Yankees Improve New York, Aug. 2.—Ban Johnson, president of the American League, is here for a conference with Colonel Jacob Rupert, part owner of the Yankees. Johnson is anxious to see the Yankees strengthened if possible and is ready to use his influence in aiding Colonel Rupert to put through several deals for new play ers. The American League's chieftain also has come East for other reasons. He intends to witness the coming series between the White Sox and Red Sox in Boston, and also will pay a visit to Washington, where Clark Griffith's club still is playing to small crowds. Johnson doesn't believe that the American League will lose many valuable players in the draft, and he announces that baseball will be played by his circuit nfext year. He has no opinion to express as to the outcome of the American League race. Johnson will remain in the East until the Western clubs return home. ** Garland Is Easy Winner in Tennis Tournament Chicago, Aug. 2.

It was the sixth' straight game marked up in the lost column for the Athletics, and the third successive victory for the Lee Fohls, and the win incidentally put them in third position, due to the 5 to 4 victory gained by the Senators over Hughie Jennings' Tigers in a thirteen session battle at Washington.

WELLY'S 'jf CORNER It was disappointing to the local tennis officials yesterday to see so lew out on the Reservoir courts. Of course, they realized that it was a rather warm day and many pre ferred remaining at home. It has been a hard task to get this year's tournament, going and the Harris burg Association should be encour aged. It might be a good thing to have some of the matches In the local tournament played in the evening, after 5 p. m., or during the morning. It would be much cooler for the players. Last year matches were played in the morning. Martinsburg and Hagerstown are still running neck and neck in the Blue Ridge League. Both teams are playing gilt-edge baseball.

Strobino was the first American to finish in the 1912 Olympic marathon and took third place lor the United States. He finished much stronger than Do rando and McArthur, who finished before him, and it was said he would have beaten both if the race were another mile longer. He had waited too long to start his last drive. 13
