Greatest Race Horse Living.

A writer speaking Of great race
horses says: In the matter OF speed tire
honors go to PAGER, the performances
of Hal Pointer at Cleveland last We'd
nesday being the most notable instance
of horse sustaining an extreme fiigh'
for three miles. This wonderful geld
ing has been out three seasons, and
there scarcely seems to be any limit to
his powers. His first appearance In the
grand circuit was also at Cleveland,
where he sprang into popular favor at
once by his brilliant finishes, beating a
strong field, among which he sold at
small price in the pools. At that time
Hal Pointer was quite lame from corn,
ann only such stout-hearted animal as
he could have gone on under these I'M
favorable conditions. He won another
great victory at Buffalo the week fol-
lowing. but grew so much worse after
the bruising race over that wild track
that he failed at Rochester. Later on
he started In the stake for PAGERS at
Hartford, scoring another hard earned
success when his chances seemed hope
less. as Budd Doble, with his namesake
behind him, had won two heats, and
seemed reasonably sure Of another.
Hal Pointer scored up early in the
grand circuit last year, starting at Pitts
burg and carrying everything before
him In the free-for-all class clear
through to the wind up OF the series at
Philadelphia. His most notable feat In
those feats was at Cleveland against
the California crack Adonis, who won
two heats, the second In 2:l11f, the best
mile ever made on the Chenille course
In race up to that time, but was so
exhausted by the effort that the Ten
nessee gelding gathered In the next
three with little trouble. During the
October meeting at Terre Haute, Hal
Pointer surprised all his previous per-
formances in the way OF speed when he
landed the free-for-all-pace at Warren
park In straight heats. the first one
In 2:O9s< which still stands as the worlds
record In race.
1t was here he met the phenomenal
B. b., whirlwind found In the South.
west and OF obscure breeding, but sup
posed TO be fast enough TO lower the COL
ors OF the bay champion. As rule Hal
Pointer does not win off-hand, but this
race showed that he could go first heat
as well as any other, and those who
backed b. B., expecting that he would
get one or two frsts, were sorely mis-
taken. On the occasion Western
plunger offered to wager q good sum
that b. B. would beat Hal Pointer TO
the quarter, and friend of Ed. Geers
made the bet. This was probably why
the clever reinsman from Tennessee cut
loose at once, giving the roam PAGER no
chance at all. The average OF the three
miles at Terre Haute was 2:l1 Sc, and
this remained as the best performance
Of its kind till Hal Pointer put in the
heats at Cleveland at the rate OF
2:10 5-12, or more than a second below
the former average.

KNIGHTS OF THE eOLDENoEAeLE.

is up to the top notch in every respect.
The increase Of this castle in point of

members, for their interesting efforts
to build up the Order with good and

Tim Keefe's Case.

The giants and the Bridegrooms put
in dull two hours yesterday afternoon,
says the New York Advertiser. The
town team were scheduled to play a
championship game on the Polo
Grounds, but the storm necessitated a
postponement and forced the players OF
both mines to seek the frindly seclusion
of the club house. The boys gathered
around the stove and talked ''shop."
Tim Keefe held down chair, but had
little to say. He denied the absurd story
sent out from Boston that he had re-
sighned with the Giants.
1.-The truth is" said Timothy, 81
have done nothing as yet. have let
ter In my pocket from Manager Barnie
OF the Baltimore Club, asking me TO
meet him tomorrow. OF course will
meet Mr.. Barnie, and IL we can come to
terms will sign Baltimore contract.
I have received offers from three
League clubs and four Association
clubs, but will do nothing until have
seen Mr.. Barnie. In word, AN out
for the money, and will sign with the
club offering me the largest financial
inducements. don't care to make any
comment on the officials of the New
York Club, or Of their methods"
The chances are that Keefe will sign
with the Baltimore Club to-day. Barnie
is q great judge Of ball players and he
has been sweet on Keefe ever since the
opening of the season. Had Timothy
taken the advice Of the writer he would
have signed with the Orioles long ago.
The Baltimore people will offer him a
fine salary and a number Of extra In
ducements to join them. They have a
strong team and great ball town.
Barnie is a wonderfully popular mana
ger and a personal friend of Tim.
