vorcee.
The 2.24 pace stake, for purse of

mare, Betty M., in straight heats in
good time. Lady Mitchell, a winner
last week at Mount Holly, was al
ways a close contestant at the finish.
Moho Has Walkover
The 2.12 special trot produced three
starters and was simply a walkover
for Moho in slow time, the other en
tries not appearing to be able to pro
duce a contest.
The 2.23 trot produced the best
contest of the afternoon. Tlllie won
the first heat after which she was
not much of a factor in the race,
l.cnry sent Kanaga Jr. to the front
ir. the second heat, after which the
result was never in doubt, repeating
his vtctpry of last week at Mount
Holly. Winola was always a factor,
finishing close at the wire.

Aelxander Wins Game;
His Twenty-eihgth Victory
Chicago, Sept. 22. Alexander
won his twenty-eighth game of the
season and his sixth consecutive vic
tory yesterday, when he beat the
Cubs in the delayed opening game
of the final series by a 4 to 2 score.
Alex now needs but two more games
to complete a three years' record
of having won 30 or more games
for a season's toil, and which will
equal the record now held by
Mathewson. Last year Alex won 33
| games and in 1915 landed 31. Inas
much as he will have a chance to
face the Cards, Pirates and Giants
before the season closes, he has an
excellent chance of being able to
achieve his ambition.
Alex was aided by some timely
| hitting by his mates in the first and
i eighth innings. The Cubs also did
[ some ragged work during these two
I round*-. Both Paskert and Cravath
had a good day with the willow.
Contrary to his usual custom here
Alex failed to do much with the bat.
Alexander's task looked rather
easy after the Phillies had given
him a neat lead at the start. In fact
It looke das if he had the battle
. won before he pitched a ball.
Favorites Win Again in
Columbus Circuit Races
Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 22. Four
class events were raced yesterday on
the fifth day's card of the grand cir
cuit meeting here and in every event
a favorite was victor, in sharp con
trast to the defeat of well-played first
choices on previous days. No stakes
were on the program and the events
furnished little competition. Even in
the split-heat events, the 2.12 pace
and the 2.12 trot, horses that dropped
a heat through a mistake won the
other three rather impressively*
The 2.04 pacers were so outclassed
by Butt Hale that he was not forced
to do any of his miles in better than
to win. Ima Jay also had an
easy task in winning the 2.12 trot In
slow time, save for the second heat.
Kelley De Forrest walked away
with the three-year-old trot, and
Uhlan Simmons had the speed of the
party in the 2.12 pace.
Bank President After
Death Shown Defaulter
Easton, Pa., Sept. 22. Kaston
hanking circles experienced one of the
greatest sensations in their history
yesterday when directors of the
Easton National Bank announced that
the late William Hackett, Its presi
dent. was short in his accounts with
two corporations to the amount of
more than SIOO,OOO. His shortage with
the Easton National Bank was given
as 167,800, and with the Easton Dela
ware Bridge Company, of which he
was treasurer, at more than 140,000.

tired Jackson at the plate. Weaver
was hit and Schalk's single through

winning run.

The selection of E. C. Ryan as

that Ryan was to be the man. Now
they are anxious that he will ac

team yesterday, the American Lea
gue championship Is now a certainty.
The Giants can still lose out, but
there is no likelihood of such a thing
being recorded. It was a long time
since teams from the East and West
were in completion for world's hon
ors and the coming series will ba
of unusual interest.
This week's averages show soma
new aspirants for hitting and fielding
honors. Ty Cobb is being closely fol
l'owed for stick figures, and Alexan
der is doing his utmost to win his
record of 30 victories. He has two
more game 3 in which to accomplish
this.
The Baltimore Feds are again in
the field for some cash. This tlma
they have entered suit against or
ganized baseball at Baltimore. Tha
case is not causing any worriment
among the major league officials.
