An Interesting Budget of News About
the Racers.


c. !. Van Scotch, a Western book
maker, is reported to have recently pCr-
chased 3-ycar-old filly, by Electioneer,
for s. 500.
The little lady at ST. Paul who wears
the colors of the Hankins' stable, and
sells tips at 10 cents per tip, has made
So, 600 this year at the business.
The success of his racing stables has
so encouraged the Hon. w. l.. Scott
over the progeny of Rayon dor that he
has sent trainer to break the year
lings, twenty-four in number.
The stations Joe Eastman, by Robert
McGregor, record 2:29l5, this season,
and Talavera, by Happy Medium, record
2:3O, belonging to the string of George
Grimes, were Killed by lightning on July
81 at the Terre Haute (Ind.) race track.
j. b. Haggin is reported to have said
that il costs him SIS to raise a colt at
Rancho del PaSo. He has sold 100 of
them in season at an average price OF
nearly $1,000. His plent at Rancho del
PaSO represents an. investment ofS1, OOO,-
600.
1t is said. and many horScmen cling
to the theory, thai no horse living can
90 at the top of his speed over hun
dred yards. The science of race, then,
is to 20 over the entire distance at diff
ferent PAGES, the aggregate of which
will be little faster than the other
horses.
Jim Lathrop, of Harvard, says the
Beacon Park track at Boston, is the
fastest in the world on account of its
spring. 1t is built over marsh, and
Lathrop is said to have told Lon Myers
that he Myers would have no trouble
in running n quarter mile on the track
in a. or As seconds. The great runrer
did have an idea of trying it, but aban-
doned the plan, matter of regret to
thousands who believe Lon to have been
the greatest quarter-mile runner that
ever wore shoe.
Raveloe was aided considerably by
strong wind which blew directly down
the course when he made his mile record
of /. 39I at Monmouth Park on Thurs
dav of last week. The race was run on
the straight track, and Raveloe carried
10Y pounds. That was also the weight
carried by Racine when he reduced the
mile record to 1895 at Chicago on June
9s. Both are 3-year Odds. Raveloe is
by Joe Hooker, dam Illusion, by Alarm,
and he is owned by Thomas Puryear.
Ten Broeck'S mile record of 1.39% stood
for thirteen years. while Racine'S stood
only a little over month. How long
will RavelOe's record stand?

TOpcs-General Sports.

The race for the Players League pen
nant is still close, and no club has
cinch on the flag. Boston still holds
the lead, but John Ward, with his
BrooklynS, is pressing King Kelly hard,
with chance for a good neck-and-
neck finish on the home stretch.
COmiSky and his crowd of Whitestock-
nge is driving along close third, al
most Tapped with Buck Ewing'S Giants
i'm fourth place. Philadelphia has
dropped down to fifth, but is by no
means heavily anchored there, and the
race TO the finish by the five leaders
promises to be warmer than was ever
known before. Dad Hanlon' SluggerS
still remain staunch and true to sixth
place. The first five clubs have obtain
ed such lead now that it will require
most heroic work for him TO finish bet
ter. Cleveland is not Il great way be-
hind Pittsburg, and Hanlon will have
to be wary or they may forge ahead and
drop into seventh place. Fay Faatz has
infused new life into the BuffaloS, but
he expects TO remain in his present
position to the finish.
~
The National League race is also
growing interesting among the four
leading clubs. Brooklyn continues in
the lead with fair prospects of remain
ing there, though Boston is pushing
along good second; Philadelphia and
Cincinnati See-sawing in third and
fourth, both struggling along to get the
upper berth, with chances very nearly
equal. The last four clubs, Chicago,
New York, Cleveland and Allegheny,
seem to have about landed in the posi-
tons they will be found when the
autumn leaves begin To turn.
~
In this association this battle has
narrowed down between Louisville and
St Louis, and the Colonies now have a
decided advantage. 1t will require Il
heroic effort on the part of Won der
Ahe'S men to overhaul the leaders, but
they are playing great ball, and may
yet come-in with great st. Louis fin

The return of the Australians, Billy
Murphy and Peter Jackson, to their ma
tive land has been made the subject OF
a great deal of congratulation on Aus
tralian athletic proweSs. The Austria
liam and British press are loud in their
claims that the antipOdean athletes
who were brought over to America
clearly demonstrated their superiority
over American rivals. And the infer
ence is drawn that the Australians as a
class are more muscular, more Scien-
tifc and gamer than their American
brethren.
Wheeling Sunday register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1882-1934, 1890-08-17

As matter of fact the contrary
appears TO be the case. Jackson and
Murphy are the only two of the Austria
liam SluggerS, who were not SouDdly
whipped on American soil, and it can
not be claimed that their achievements
entitle them TO any remarkable renown.
The only first class man that ia ;kson
met on the Pacific coast was Joe
McAuliffe, and McAulifTe gave HIM a
hard battle when in poor condition.
Murphy'S escape from defeat was mere
chance. as the Belfast Spider had him
beaten when he was knocked out by a
chance blow.
Wheeling Sunday register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1882-1934, 1890-08-17

On the other hand, a whole host OF
Australians have been put TO sleep by
American fighters Tom Lee and Tom
Meadows were Savagely used up by Nc
Auliffe and Jack Dempsey made Il chop
ping block out of Billy Mccarthy. Billy
Smith was used up i'm the same summary
fashion. and a number of lesser lights
of the Australian pugiliStic world were
snuffed out almost as soon as they
touched foot on American soil.

Speaking of dogs" said yarn spinning

over some mirth provoking memory, there
was a queer thing happened one day last
week One of the young fellows belonging to
the boat club has pretty hot temper, al
though he's mighty good hearted boy
Well. the pup that belongs to the fellow that
tends to the club house chewed up a "a hat
on young Blank and it made him pretty hot
HE swore he'd kill that blasted pup, and
he chased him all over the pier with that in
tention, but the pup was too lively for him
and led him a regular chase. Finally the boy
got the dog cornered out at the pier head, and
the pup, as a last resort, jumped overheard.
Over goes Blank after him and swims him
down, for the dog was no swimmer. Well,
he just pounded the face off that pup and
soused him under so much that two or three
women standing round said he was perfect
brute.
"The next day young Blank came down
again. There was an awful sea on; | never
saw worse The water was breaking clear
over the pier and sending the suds clear over
the clubhouse roof. Blank had to make a
run for 1t to get down the pier as far as the
club house. The dog saw him coming, and

among those broken rocks and jagged piles.
1t was sure death for the dog, with such a

He turned round and went into the club
house, chucked off his coat and shoes, got
down boat, and somehow-the Lord knows
how, don't-got her over the lee side of the
pier and tumbled into her. He got the dog
all right, but it was queer thing for him to
