ABOUT "BUCK" WASHER.
Late advices from Buck" Washer
in letters to relatives in Akron are to
the effect that he is playing much ball
and doing well with the Clarksburg,
w. Va, team. with which he will
probably remain until time for him to
leave with the Pittsburg team on its
Hawaiian trip. Buck" will pitch in
Canton in few weeks, in game
which the Clarksburg team has on its
schedule.
1t is stated that this years expert
ence has been of great value to the
young Akron pitcher, and there Is no
doubt that he has succeeded in making
good to the extent that he will be
much wanted when managers sign
players for next year. One Of
Bucks" wishes is to place himself
with college team. so that his abil-
ity as ball player may help him TO an
education. He may sign directly with
college team or wait until his wages
on some professional outfit are large
enough to pay for college course.
BELLE s. DISTANCED.
Belle S. was distanced after two
heats In the 2:f0 pace at Newburg
Thursday. The meet is big one and
some of the races are unfinished. No
other Akron horse started at this meet
on Thursday.
CRESCEUS WENT A FAST MILE.
indianapolis. Aug. 22.--Cresceus
(2:02A) stepped wonderful mile here
Thursday afternoon over the State
fair grounds track. nipping one-quar-
ter of second off the track record
for trotters, made by Nancy Hanks
in 1892. His time by quarters was as
follows:
0:31h, 1:021a, 1874, 2:04H.
Cresceus was forced to go against
bracing wind down the back
stretch. which had its effect. The
mile, however, was well rated and the
time decided surprise, considering
1t was his first start. He seems to
have the power to reach the two
minute mark, If his improvement shall
be as great as it has been since his
preparation for racing began this
summer.
