O'Loughlin's persistent roasting of tn.
Providence team was the chief feature Of
the game. Evans was forced to abandon
curves and drop balls, for O'Loughlin
could see strikes only in straight pitches,
and not always would he call these right.
He strutted around with STACY autocratic
manner, refusing to watch throwing

On one glazing out which he ignored.
Nyoe in evaporation flung his glove after
the autocrat for which he was ordered
out Of the game. The crowd was exas-
persted and cried to the home team to
throw up the game in the third inning. 1t
was remarkable that Hartford did not
win by dozen runs instead of by one.

]. Fred Powers, the all-round cham
pion amateur athlete of America, is a
natural athlete and a diamond in the
rough. In the all-round competitions
in New York July 4, he surprised noted
trainers who saw him as we'll as the
athletes with whom he contended. One
of the spectators at the games was M.
j. Murphy, trainer of the University
Of Pennsylvania athletes. Murphy has
told The Spy man since then that
Powers is a wonderful man, and has
not yet reached the height of his abil-
ity.
His methods of training are pecu-
liarly his own, and many are not con-
sidered good form by the athletic au-
thorities of the land. His development
as shown by the measurement, is very
uneven, but he is an excellent COMPETE
tor He is tall, wiry but slim, long
limbed, deep-chested, and moves with
grace that betrays great reserve
power. Yet a casual observer would
hardly pick him out as wonderful all
round athlete.
The performances with which he is
credited at the A. A. u. championships
are these: Putting shot, 40 feet / 3-S

COLUMBUS MEET.
The Abbott and Bob
Fitzsimnons Win
Straight Heats.
SHADE ON'S TRIUMPH.
He Beats Out Wandering
Jew in a Short
Race.

Columbus, O., July S1.-The grand
circuit meeting opened today under the
most favorable conditions. The
weather was clear and the track fast,
though it will improve slightly with
continued fair weather. There were
three races on the card, and with the
exception of the 229 pace, they were
almost featureless.
The big race of the day was the 2:oS
trot, with four starters. The Abbott
was almost a prohibitive favorite, and
he did not disappoint his hackers, win
ming easily in straight heats. The Abb
bolt clipped quarter of a second off
his record in the second heat, when he
went the mile in 2:07A.
In the 2:04 pace Bob Fitzsimmons
won In straight heats, taking the first
in 2:0734. There were nine starters,
but Bob Fitzsimmons was almost a
prohibitive favorite.
The 1923 pace furnished the only eX-
element of the day. There were seven
starters, Wandering Jew sold favorite
in the pools, and his hackers did not
finch when Shade On landed the first
heat Only four horses remained in the
race after the first heat Wandering
Jew took the second and third heats in
apparently easy style, and looked a
sure winner, but in the fourth he broke
several times ana showed evidences OF
weakening, dropping into fourth place,
while Shade On took the heat.
In the fifth heat the Jew nearly fell
lust after he passed the wire, and
trailed far behind the bunch being
shut out of second money by the dis
lance flag There was sharp brush
between Shade On and Mount Glenn
ems Boy at the finish, but the former
won by a length under the whip.
