WILL HAVE A DOZEN HEATS.
Big Meeting Planned by the Capital
City Driving Club

City Driving Club.
There has been considerable talk amongst
the local horsemen about the match races
to be given next Saturday by the Capital
City Driving club at Lake Como and great
interest is manifested. The events will con-
sist of a match race between Brooks Hender-
sons Gray Dawn and Dr.. Pomeroy's Darby
T, for 500 a side. Both these horses have
been in active training during the last few
weeks, and are now keen edge and a
close contest can be looked for. Each horse
has many friends that feel confident of his
ability to beat the other, which will be de-
cided next Saturday.
There will also be a match race between
William G. Carvings Victor Wilkes, and II.
M. Stockings grey PAGER. Both horses are
well known in the city, the former having
wen many good races, and the latter being
promising youngster, possessing much
sIeed.
The club will hold a meeting Tuesday
evening at the Metropolitan hotel, to arrange
classes for other races, and it is proposed 10
nave purse hung up, that there will be
three or four good races, and heats started
every few minutes, which will be necessary
owing to the large programme, and the first
named matched race being best three out of
five, making total of from IL to 15 heats
for the afternoons sport.

ISBELL BATTED OVER $50.
Chicago Papers Grumble Is without
Reason.

The effort of some of the Chicago papers to
prove that President Johnson and Manager
Comiskey conspred to lift Frank IsbelI's av-
erages is without provocaton.
The G o e last season published weekly
averages of all the players In the ST Paul
team, and it is a fact that the figures so
printed are higher than Johnson's figures The
b g and President Johnson agree as to
the number of runs and hits made by Isbell
while johnson charges him 191 times at bat
The | o b e charged him with only 1879, in
creasing his average three points AS
The 10 b e scores were made up from news
paper, and not official scores Mr.. Johnson s
figures are certainly not open to the charge
of 'doctoring."
The fielding figures to which exception is
made were evidently compiled with some care
lessness Isbell is credited to Indianapolis, and
said to have participated in seventy-two
games, when the records, as proved UP by
The G o b e, show that he played in only
fifty games.
That he batted over $50 Is indsputable
That the printed fielding averages contain an
error is equally plain.
