The wonderful showing of Bobby Wal
thour In his race against Elkes was, after
all. traceable to Tom Eek, who brought

ed him for a week previous to his race
with Elkes.
Arthur Gardiner, the champion Of 1897,

ing work upon the road.

juries.

Herman Reimers Of the McEachern camp

The success this season Of Stinson illus

it all out and went in for sane living with
the result that he has won more brilliant
races this season than any other man.

thinking them over. He says that when he
considers the risk taken on the machines
he feels like quitting the business and TAX

Of involuntary suicide.
In securing McEachern and his men to
locate permanently in Baltimore the Colos-
scum managers of that city believe they are

moreans in the same sense that the pro-
fessional ball players OF the Oriole team

into the position, as he has become quite
