TWO DOUBLE ID


There will be double-headers to-day and
tomorrow between Indianapolis and De-
troit. The first game this afternoon will
be called at 2 o'clock and the second one
Immediately after the conclusion of the
first battle. Manager Watkins will send
Kellum to the box in the first game and
Gardner or Stimmell will pitch the second
contest. Miller and Cronin will probably
do the twirling for Detroit. The race is
now so exciting that each game figures
largely in the position the teams may fin
ish at in the final round up. Chicago lost
yesterday, and with four to play to-day
and tomorrow with Detroit indianapolis
might crawl up several notches on the
leaders.

BOSTON. Aug. %. Three good races
made up to-day's card at the Readville
track. and they were races worth seeing.
full Of exciting brushes and several whip
ping finishes. The attendance almost
| equaled that of yesterday. The big event
for speed was the 2:06 pace. which the
Medford (Mass.) black gelding, Royal r.
Sheldon won in easy fashion in 2:07 and
2:O5%, the latter figure clipping his record
half a second.
The chief race for bookmakers was the
PA class, which went to seven heats and
was won by the Mason farm gelding. John
T., because his driver had played a sharp
trick, in the opinion of the judges, on the
big field in the early heats. For this Driver
Dore was fined 800 after John r.. had won,
because he had laid up the gelding in the
second heat and again In the third after
having been warned. This race was one
that benefited the public, Winola having
been the ~favorite, with a considerable lean
ing toward Sidney Pointer. Then, after the
fourth heat, John T. almost became prohib-
tive. His hackers, however, lost in the
sixth. but, as it proved. the ,gelding had
the strength TO win the deciding heat just
when his chances looked forlorn.
The PA trot went to the out-and-out
f~avorite, Georgena, a mare owned by
James Gormley. of Parkville. Long island.
During the afternoon Driver Noble was
fined SIS for working his horse while a
race was on. The meeting will close to-
