self. winning nearly every race in which
he has competed.
He rode his first race at the annual race
meet OF the Kings County Wheelmen, in
June, 1891. He won his first event, and
had he not slipped his pedal in the second
would doubtless have won that. AS it
was he finished second.
At the next meeting of the Manhattan
Athletic Club, held Manhattan Field
last September, he ma excellent rec
ord, winning every mt In which he
competed, and defeating Charles M.
Murphy in the quarter mile ordinary
from the scratch to the general surprise
of all.
Up to May IA Of the present year Smith
had never raced on any machine but ap
ordinary. But on that day he competed
on oolcby INC DoCAiduo Nouuty
Wheelmen's meet. At these races he won
the two-mile safety, one-mile ordinary,
one-mile safety scratch, and finished Sec
ond in the five-mile safety. In this race he
had barely finished the previous mile
race before he started. He started from
the scratch while the winner had $50
yards start, and practically rode six miles,
while the winner rode less than five.
He won first place, two seconds and .
third, at the annual meet of the Rome
Cyclers on Decoration Day. At the meet
OF the Century Club Wheelmen at Phila-
delphia, a short time after, he won the
quarter mile safety race, and lowered the
record for the distance to 81 3-5 seconds.
In this race he beat A. b. Rich. His per-
formance in the race was all the more re-
markable in view OF the fact that he rode

weight of racer is % pounds.

The Latest Fin Keel Yacht.

The Freak, the latest fin keel twenty
one-footer, is about to receive her fin and
lead at Boston, Mass. The fin is widely
different from anything yet placed upon
boat of this type in the East, both in
shape and construction. II is of Tobin
bronze, but, instead OF being in one solid
plate, is in two plates, each three-six-
teenths of an inch in thickness and firmly
riveted together. In shape, it is rec
tangle, with a depth OF six feet and
length of five feet. The slopes found at
the forward and after ends of the other
ins are therefore absent, and an unwieldy
and unshipshape look is given.
With six foot fin, the boat will draw
over seven feet of water. This will make
her the deepest draught boat Of the fin
keel type in the class, while her tow lead
will make her the most powerful, with
the possible exception Of the Tadpole, the
waterhouse design. Grave doubts are
expressed by those who have seen the
fin as to whether or not 1t will prove
stiff enough to hold the lead when the
boat Is well laid out. The hull OF the
boat receives nothing but Communications,
both for model and workmanship.

ELxrRA, N. ", June 24.--The game yes
terday between Elmira and PROVIDENCE
was an exhibition such as has seldom been
seen In this city. PROVIDENCE evidently
had q cold grasp on the game, but in the
eighth inning the home team made five
runs on a combination of hits and errors,
which placed them one run ahead. BY
hard work the PROVIDENCE team tied the
SCORE in the ninth, and might have
won but for piece of hard
luck. In the tenth, eleventh and
twelfth innings both teams strained
every nerve, playing wonderful ball, but
could not score. In the thirteenth the
home team again struck their gait and
scored five runs on four hits with a
couple of errors sandwiched in. PROVE
DENCE made three hits but could not
score. PROVIDENCE is evidently in need
of pitchers though Cassian did well for
seven innings. The score:

Little Joe is wonder in his way. His
forte Is not in riding but the manage
ment of runners.
His first introduction to the turf was at
Todd's American Derby. He was lad OF
thirteen then, but he tagged at his papa's
heels from bookie to bookie, placing
thousands in bets with the air Of a vet
eran.
Eastern devotees of the track will read
lily recall the meteor-like career of Sor-
rento and the baby horseman who accom-
panied his father through the rings,
stalking fabulous sums on the blue and
gold of the McCarty stables.
This bright, Irish bred lad is at Garfield
Park, Chicago, just now. child in years
and physique, but man in mind and ex-
perience, little Joe Is the trusted manager
Of his fathers string Of runners. There
are twenty-three in the string, and the
care and handling OF such stable is a re-
sponsibility that a veteran might well
hesitate to assume. But little Joe thinks
nothing Of it.
This season, after seventeen days at the
blood horse meeting in San Francisco, he
quit with the largest winnings credited
to any one stable.
He is confident that he will leave Gar
field Park and Washington Park with
handsome earnings as we'll.
IL his trainer fails to show up after a
night with the boys" this cool headed
young Celt is at his post, working the
string and directing a score of stable
hands in person.

GEORGE G. SMITH.

On June 6, he competed at the annual
meeting of the Connecticut branch Of the
l.. A. w. at New Haven. He won the
one-mile ordinary, defeating William f.
Murphy, of the New York Athletic, and
w. w. Taxis, the crack Philadelphia rider.
He won the half mile ordinary, again de-
feating Murphy, who finished second,
and came in third in the one mile safety,
three-minute class.
Smith is improving every day, and will
doubtless make some of the crack flyers
hustle to beat him before the season closes.
In another year he will doubtless be on
scratch.

individual Record, OF the Ball Player.


The championship contest has pro-
gressed far enough to command the atten-
tion of the base ball enthusiasts every
where, and the individual records are
being scrutinized to see what the men
have done. In team fielding Cincinnati
leads the League with percentage Of .942.
The New Yorks are tenth and the Brook
lyns sixth. In batting the "Grooms
have the record with an averege of .274
and the New Yorks are sixth with .242.
Burns and Brouthers deserve the lead
ing position for individual batting rec
ords, as they have played in more games
than Earle, Foreman or Thornton, who
are ahead Of them. Burns, in 81 games,
made As hits and "a runs, which entitle
him to a percentage OF 800. Brouthers
played 10 more games, made 81 hits and
q runs, and gets percentage OF .3S5.
O'Rourke keeps up at the head OF the New
York club and now stands sixth among
the league batters with an average q
1888. In Al games he went to the bat 155
times, made "a hits and "a runs.
