THREE RECoRD-BREAkING HEATS.
Cresceus TrOtted Miles in 2:Os L.
n:OS and S:OB,

trot for stations was the principal event on
the card to-day. and it attracted a crowd OF
fully 5000 people. The weather was fair and
the track fast There were four starters
i'm the big trot-Cresceus. Grattan Boy,
Charley Herr and Dare Devil. In the first
heat Dare Devil threw shoe before he
reached the first quarter and was distanced
Grattan Boy had a bad start, and Cresceus
won the heat easily in 2:07ia. In the second
however. Grattan Boy gave Cresceus i
sharp brush in the last quarter and forced
Ketcham 10 drive the chestnut horse out
The last quarter was made in 81, and the
mile in 2:06 fiat. In the third heat Grattan
Boy forced Cresceus to the quarter in 81
and to the half in 1:0ls., and it looked as If
all trotting records We're about to be
smashed but the pace had been too hot for
Grattan Boy, and he weakened perceptibly.
Cresceus went under the wire in q drive
however, making the mile in 2:06 fiat These
are the three fastest heats ever trotted by
stallion in Il race. The summarizes:

HOT WEATHER ON TENNIS COURTS.
Yet Players Busy on Those of the st.
Louis A. A.

Hot weathe does not seem to have any
but good effect on the attendance at the
courts of the st. Louis Athletic Association.
Yesterday afternoon. with the Thermometer
registering 10 on the courts, there were five
games of singles and doubles going on until
Harry Pollard was there. without SEN
seney. and seemed lost when playing dou-
bles with another man as his partner. Pol
club without half trying: in fact, he seems
out Of place in a slow game.
1t Is remarkable how some of the school,
boys who are regular attendants, can play
all the afternoon in the scorching sun with
out turning q hair. Arthur Stadle Is one Of
them. but he is training for sprint races;
shape. he must make two rounds of the
golf links, run three miles. then play tennis
the balance Of the day. He starts in at 9
a. m. That work would kill a professional
athlete, but for some never-to-be-explained
reason. Youngsters can do it every day in
the week with no worse results than an
abnormal appetite.
Newman Smith put in three days of
steady play on the courts early in the week
and has not been seen since. Dwight Evans
says that Mr.. Samuels took an overdose of
his special brand of hot air, which, COM
bined with the hot weather was too much
for him. Samuels will be on hand next week,
however, with new bunch of original jol-
lies. and all will go well again about the
courts.
There are number of beginners at the
game. who make daily trips to the park to
try to solve the mystery of hitting the balls
fairly hard and still keeping them within
the lines. 1t is fun to hear them argue the
problem, same saying that 1t is entirely a
matter of judgment, some, of force: while
others claim that the real secret is to keep
the racket at the proper angle when meeting
the ball. A combination of all three would
make q star player.
1t Is real pleasure to see Tom Gleason
return to service; no matter where the ball
comes to him. he seems to be able, not only
to get it back .. K. but to cut it in a way
that makes return very difficult. Mr. Glea-
son. is beyond doubt. the most promising
player in the club and is not long way
from being the best.
Doctor Amand Ravold and Doctor John
son. devotees Of the racket game, are not
far behind the other physicians of the club
In tennis. If they could always remember
that they are not in the racket court. thsy
would give any pair of the medical men a
hard game Doctor Ravold is anxiously
awaiting the completion OF the running
track as he was a star in spiked shoes,
some years ago. and still loves to take ),
sprint or two just to keep his lungs In prop
condition.
Doctor Charles thinks boxing is the next
best thing to tennis, and likes to spar a few
rounds every day before taking up his
racket.

McGRAw FEARS nIG SALARY CUT.
Poor Attendance at National League
Games Way Result in Reduction.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Baltimore, Md, Aug. 2.-Johnny McGraw
does not seem to take much stock in the
story that he is to be made manager of
the st. Louis team and Tebeau relegated to
a back seat What worries McGraw more
than this is the poor business the League
has been doing all along the line.
The situation has now become 50 critical.
he says that the magnates are believed to
Rave quietly made an arrangement among
themselves to cut salaries. McGraw said:
Il have heard nothing OF an arrangement
to displace Tebeau and make me manager
OF the St Louis team, and l do not believe
it Is contemplated. ! am satisfied with
Tebeau. and think he IS an excellent man
ager. We have had lot of hard luck, but
that is not the fault of the manager"
