ABOUT RILEY GRAMMAR.
Personal Characteristics of the King
of Plungers.

Personal characteristics OF the King
of Plungers.
Riley Grammar, who is reported to have
won 100000 on Henry of Navarro and with
a capital OF $50 to have piled up S125,O0O
I'm winnings at the Saratoga meet, says the
New York Sun, is the most phenomenal
plunger who has appeared OIL the American
turf in the last twenty years. Big winnings
are not a novelty with Grammar. He was re
ported TO have won 100000 a year ago in
one day on the Saratoga track.
To look at Riley Grammar one might
easily mistake him for a good-natured boy.
He is about twentyseven years old, but de-
spite the excitement of the betting ring,
he doesn't look his age within half a dozen
years. They say on the track that he has
no system and that he trusts TO luck. II
he has a rule of life it is: Think, bet and
don't talk and the sentence indicates
his characteristics.
New Workers first heard of this young man
In teh West three years ago, when, begin
ming with next to nothing, be won, by .
series of daring ventures, something like
$4,000. He lost this as quickly as he
gained it. hut, beginning anew, he came
East in 1893 and was on the block at
Sheepshead with something like ST OO, 900
at his back. He had not been here twenty
four hours when one of the cleverest book
makers SUNNI edup his coolness by saying
"Crystallize a II the ice intlIe north pole into
n piece as big as pea and you have Gran
man,"
Grammar was born in Kentucky and has
spent most of his life around horses. There
is nothing in his appea rance to suggest
professional follower of the races He is
slight in figure. He dresses plainly. Hehas
the nose AMI good-humorcd mouth of Celt
and his parents are Irish. His nose is OF the
snub vsriety, and il gives its owner the
appeal rance of being wide awake all the
time. His eyes Are gray and they are never
still. Grannan's personal habits are ex-
enplary enough for Quaker. Hedoes not
smoke or drink or stay out late with the
boys.

SPIDERS ARE OVERJOYED
May Lose the Pennant, But Will
Play for the Cup.
erent Work of the Senator's Yester-
day Filled the Fans with De-
light and Enthusiasm.

The conclusion finally arrived at with
regard to playing for the Temple cup will
meet with the approval of everybody, with
the exception, perhaps, of Mr. Freedman
and the members of the New York ball
team.
1t was big odds that when the qurs-
tion was submitted to the League clubs
for settlement the result would be Just
what 1t has been.
There were few who could undcrs Ia nd
how, ON any principle, the NewaYurk club
could be counted in on the Temple cup con-
test unless il finished first or second in the
pennant race
1t was not, however, surprising that
the New York team should lave hung to
IL that the pennant winners should play
them for the cup. There is several hun
dred dollars in il for each member Of the
clubs that play in the Temple series, and
the New Workers, very naturally, were
10th To let the good thing slip away from
them.
As matters now stand II looks like
certainty that Baltimore and Cleveland
will crack the Temple cup nut and get
the good therein. and the members of
these teams are quite well pleased.
