BROOKLAWN Az.
Brooklawn was disappointing at the
Newburg races Wednesday, and those
who played him to win were turned
down with sickening smash. In the
whole days sport the favorites were
bumped and their hackers have head
aches in proportion to the extent of the
bump. In the 2:1S trot, the only race
in which an Akron horse was entered,
Brooklawn finished 4-4-2 in the three
heats and the race went to Blanche X
who won in straight heats. Time
2:23H, 2:1SA, 2:19. The races at this
meet are fast, the crowds in attend
ance large and the entries were SO
large that they had to be closed much
earlier than usual.

tamweight, and Gus Bezenah, have
signed articles for twenty round go
to be decided at Muncie, Ind, on La
Dor day. Munroe was knocked out at
the same place by the same man few
weeks ago in 13 rounds.
BRACKEN'S BATTING.
Jack Bracken is not making the hit
as batter that he has made in the
box. The Cleveland team finds that
1t cannot depend on his safe hitting
when there is the most need for it.
This will cost Bracken his job, by
long shot, but it has slightly tempered
the ldolatry of his worshipers.
ISADOR SOLD.
"Pittsburg Phil" the plunger whose
name has been out of the prints for
some time is still in the game to a
large extent and is a notable exception
to the rule that says gamblers can't
+. last and must end lp the poorhouse.
Smith, and who was bartender not
so many years ago, has just sold the
stallion Isador for $4,000. The con
dition of the sale is that the horse
shall not he raced again.
