shall not do so. There are plenty Of others
to do ii. / shall still continue In the future,
as in the past, to devote myself TO the moral.
educational and industrial development of
the race. In this way / feel that / can be of
more service at this time than in any other.
Whatever a few critics may say in public
and in private as 10 my work and as to my
course. l have the supreme satisfaction of
knowing j am sustained by that knowledge
that / enjoy the confidence, the sympathy
and the respect of the most thoughtful and

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Aug. 2o.-Indianapo-
lis was victorious in a brace Of games this
afternoon by better playing. Milwaukee
calmly submitted to the humiliation Of a
double defeat, which was accumulated by
the absence Of the usual Sunday crowd.
The weather was hot and a south wind
made the work of the ielders difficult, but
in spite of this drawback the playing or
both teams was brilliant. Viox, Gray, Allen.
Stewart and Barnes carried off the honors.
In the first game the Hoosiers landed so
hard on Reidy in the second inning that he
wilted and six runs were scored. Husting
succeeded him in the third inning. The Uni
versity Of Wisconsin twirler had the Hoos-
iers on his staff and only one hit was made
off his delivery in the next seven innings.
In the second game Newton pitched in
splendid form and received brilliant support,
and while Check was also In fine fettle
he was not in the same class with the
young surgeon from the capital of Indiana.
Weaver was extremely handy with the bat
in the two games and Hogriever was the
Hoosier leader with the stick In the second
contest. Score first game:

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Aug. @-The en-
tries for the twelve purse races for $1,000
each for the fall meeting Of the Terre Haute
Trotting Association are in, with 1913 in all.
The smallest number for any one race is
five for the 2:N pace. but the five are

Ananias, 2:05; Sherman Clay, 2:07h. and
Indiana, 2:07%. All horses entered must
have been eligible for their respective
classes on Aug. Is. This is a new plan.
Heretofore the purses have been opened

by the time the meeting was held there
were one or two horses in each race which
had made such fast records after the class
purse was opened that there was no chance
for the others to win. The association has
set aside $3.50 for specials which are yet to
