 Reason for Postponement August Meeting and Fall Fair to be Big Ones
 Regarding the rumor and comments on account of there being no summer meeting at the Waterbury Driving park the following was given for pub, lication by an officer of the organiza- tion:
 The failure of the Waterbury Drlv- ing associations efforts to fill their classes for their June and July meet ings having been the cause of so many wild comments on the part of outsiders that a little explanation from the as- sociation itself appears to be necessary. The June meeting was simply a mat ter of weather, the season as everyone is aware was backward, there had been no time to prepare horses and the weather was such that even at Holyoke a week later which means much ill the spring they were able to obtain but two slim days racing out of the four.
 The failure of our classes to fill for the July meet was the result of our be- ing badly placed in the circuit for this particular meeting. our dates being between those of Worcester and Nash ua which would have been bad enough of itself but when coupled with the fact that there are. next week. meet ings at Pawtucket, Old Orchard and the state fair meeting at Concord, N. H., all places that are much more de- Sirable from a travelling standpoint, When the horses are at Worcester it IS not strange that their owners preferred to take in the nearby tracks instead or coming to Waterbury. For our August meeting we apprehend none of these difficulties. Our dates. August 20, to 23, are between those of Holyoke and Westfield We have one of the best of the half mile tracks i'll the circuit and have expended some $1.500 on our park this season. The trolley gives Us fa- cilities we have never possessed be- fore and we have every reason to be- lieve that not only will our August meet prove great success i'll the num- Der and character of the entries, but also in the attendance.
 The association has already began its arrangements for four days fair in September which will greatly excel that of last year and we intend to make it one that Waterbury will be proud of In addition to the August meeting and the fair we have well placed dates in September for a. four days meeting and also the week fol- lowing the Danbury fair in October.
 With these prospects ahead we think we can safely assure the horse loving public of Waterbury that they will have plenty of good racing right at home before the snow flies.

To settle d difference of opin- ion among a few citizens 1 would like be informed when the Broomalaw railroad bridge was built across the Clyde at Glasgow. Remember, l do not refer to the foot bridge known as the Prince Albert. which runs along side the railroad crossing. l worked on this bridge and am satisfied that it was built in 1872. but others differ from and contend that it was con structed long before that date.

National League Clubs Standing.

Good and bad news came from Cleve-
land last night. The good report told Of
the victory of the Senators over the Cleve-
lands by the score of 13 to II. and the
other gave the particulars of how Billy
Clingman was hurt by pitched ball and
had to retire from the game. Clngman
has been doing extraordinary work at
short for the past month or more, and his
work with the stick had also improved so
that should his injury prove serious his
loss will be quite q handicap to the club
When Billy retired Foster was called in
from left field and Gear went into the
outer garden. Both men handled them
selves well, which was fortunate for the
Washingtons.
The Senators certainly had on their bat
ting clothes and gave Bracken about the
severest drubbing he has received in his
short experience in the American League.
That pair at the top Of Washington's bat
ting list, Waldron and Farrell, were out
for the goods" yesterday. and the re-
mainder of the Senators followed their lead
with good effect, every man on the team
getting one more hits, with the eXcep-
tion of Clingman and Mercer, and their
stay was so short that no line can be
formed on their batting eyes.
Wyatt Lee was trounced pretty hard by
the Clevelands in this city last Wednesday,
and he doubtless requested a repeat per-
fCrmance so as to vindicate himself but
the vindication never came, as the "Spi-
ders' drove him to the bench in the eighth
inning Mercer coming to the rescue in his
usual clever style. Lee has been troubled
with lame shoulder of late, and the
youngster is acting foolish in trying to
pitch under the circumstances.
The fielding of the Senators was very
good, Grady and Lee making the only mis-
plays charged against the team. For six
innings Lee did excellent work and was
given gilt-edged support, but in the sew
enth he let down in his speedy shoots, and
as result, four runs were batted over the
plate. Here is where the two errors of
the Senator's came to the front and really
We're responsible for the run scoring.
In the eighth Lee was continued on the
rubber for a while, but the 'bingles' con-
tinued to ring off the bats of the Cleve-
land players, and it was thought best to
send Mercer out to retrieve an impending
defeat. Mercer was also hit pretty hard
for minute or two, but he mixed his de-
livery up cleverly and finally retired the
side. In the ninth Cleveland chalked up
two more, but as the Senators had secured
big lead, the ten runs made in three in
nings by the Spiders only landed them In
the rear by two tallies 1t was a great
finish for the Spiders, but the Senators
won out and that is sufficient unto the
day Score:

up the prettiest race Of the evening. In
the last mile the machines ran neck and
neck nearly the entire distance, when with
a tremendous burst Of speed the yellow
Boy gradually pulled nearer the pole and
crossed the tape first in 1926 1-5.
The final event at ten miles brought
Sherer and Gaudette and King and Hunter
to the tape, and the race for this distance
was Of the most sensational order. Both
teams did considerable jockeying all
through the race, and the Baltimore team
was picked as the winning team. They
held the lead for the first nine miles Of the
race, when the yellow Boy" In the clev-
crest fashion. Unexpectedly jumped ahead
of their opponents and seized the pole. At
ter hard battle for the few remaining
laps, they managed to hold their position
and when King and Hunter crossed under
the wire at the crack of the pistol they
were only three inches ahead Of their oppo-
nents. The ten miles were ridden in 1900 2-5
The fastest mile of the evening was ridden
in 1.25. In the five-mile heat between the
losers McFeeters and Zimmerman carried
off first honors against Schultz and Pen
nett. The five miles were ridden in 7.35.

INTERNATIONAL TENNIS.
Fischer Won From Alexander in
Straight Sets.

A large number Of matches were dis
posed of yesterday in the international ten
mis- tournament on the courts OF the Queens
Royal Hotel, at Niagara, Ont. Weather
and court conditions were almost perfect
and the terrace bordering the champion
ship court was crowded with society folk
from Toronto and Buffalo and summer
visitors. The semi-final Of the mems open
singles brought together Alexander Of
Princeton and Fischer Of New York, against
Robert Leroy, the promising Columbia Uni
versity player, and e. r. Patterson Of To-
ronto. Fischer's volleying was poor, his
ground strokes were severe, but he won
from Alexander in straight sets. LEROY
had battle royal with Patterson. and
though the latter was within point Of the
first set, Leroy won two straight sets, both
seven games to five.
The women's singles brought together, as
expected, in the semi-finals, Miss Marion
Jones of California, and Miss Closterman of
Cincinnati. and Miss Juliette Atkinson of
Brooklyn and Miss Carrie Neely of Chi
cago. Miss Closterman beat Miss Jones at
Cincinnati In July, and the latter is deter
mined to win this time IL she can.
II. ID. Avery, the old Canadian champion
and e. s. Glassco of Toronto, created q
surprise by beating w. 8. Bond and F. An
derson OF Chicago In the mems singles To-
day they will meet Fischer and Hackett In
one semi-final. while Little and Anderson
play Patterson and Leroy in the other.

COLISEUM RACES.
Ten-Mfle Motor Race Created Lots O

Ten-Mile Motor Race Created Lots of
Excitement and Applause.
In the presence of over 1900 spectators
the first motorcycle races ever held in this
city were most successfully pulled OF last
night at the Coliseum, and. judging from
the manner IN which this new style Of rae
ing was received by the Washington pub
lie. 1t has evidently come to stay. This
new form Of cycle racing, which has only
recently been adopted by tracks in the
east is entirely new to this section, and
the races last night proved to be most ex-
citing and thrilling. The enthusiasm dis
played by the spectators clearly demon
strated that 1t was the kind of sport they
desired. and when the putting and snorting
machines swung around the steep embank-
ments they cheered themselves hoarse.
The spectators wondered how men could
sit on the machines going at such terrific
speed, and when two machines passed
each other on the turns they jumped to
their seats and fairly went wild.
The Coliseum track is considered the
fastest six-lap track in the country, IL not
in the world, and Is especially adapted for
motor cycles to run at tremendous speed.
When a rider Is following q motor its speed
must be gauged to suit the rider following
behind. When they are racing alone 1t Is
only a question of how fast the motor can
60 and how clever the steerer and his
mate are.
The first heat Of the race last night was
between the Washington blue Flyer"
manned by McFeeters and Zimmerman, and
the Baltimore Royal Blue" ridden by
Gaudette and Sherer. The distance was five
miles, and the race was won by the Baiti-
more team In 7.15 10, after excellent work
