GRAVESEND RACES.
Paget's Valuable Jumper, Glengar
Breaks His Neck at Third Hurdle.

By far the most sensational incident Of
the current meeting at Gravesend was the
fatal accident yesterday to Sydney Paget's
Glengar, ridden by James Mara. The horse,
running for the first time In his new own
ers colors and carrying a very large COM
mission, raced off so fast and went at the
third jump in such a style to almost
invite the accident which followed.
Glengar had drawn clear of Scotch Bush.
but was racing as If 1t were fat instead
of jumping race, and the pace was ire
mendously fast. Mr.. Pagets. horse struck
the rail and rolled over, partly on his rider
With his hind legs systematically twitching
for several moments, old racegoers cried
out, 1.-THE horse Is done for
Fifty men and boys ran over to the pros
trate jockey, pulled him to one side and be-
gan to fan him and throw water in his face.
He was senseess. Meantime, the oncoming
horses were compelled to run to the right
of the fallen jumper and they lost some
ground.
In a few moments Glengars legs were
still and the horse lay dead having broken
his neck. The starters wagon was quickly
on the spot. Mara was lifted in, and at a
slow pace the driver started his horses Tor
the paddock, where a room is devoted to
emergencies of this nature
There is a Catholic Church near the track,
and the parish priest is in daily attendance
at the race course. After a visit to Mara
the clergyman reported that his injuries
were not serious. a cut on the bridge Of
the nose being the extent of them.
With Glengar dead, Scotch Bush, with
whom the stable had declared to win. went
on and set a good pace eventually winning,
although Hank Forward pressed him close
In the last half mile. Zinzibar. also owned
by Mr.. Chamblett," who owns Scotch
Bush, ran, but seemed high in flesh.
AS already pointed out several owners of
steeplechasers have protested that the
jumps at the Brooklyn Jockey Club were so
low as to make steeplechases dangerous,
because the horses were really not required
to take time and jump carefully. An order
from the National Steeplechase Associa-
ton has been forwarded to the secretary
of the GraveSend course, calling attention
to this state of affairs, and asking that
jumps Of the required size be al once con-
Structed.
The fifth race yesterday was the only ono

Royal was running for the first time in
months. Lyme was on him. The horse ran
as If a race or two would improve him.

SOUTHERN TENNIS TOURNEY.
Crack Players Forging to the Front on
the Bachelors Courts.

The second days play in the tennis tour
nament for the championship Of the Dis
tnct of Columbia served to complete the
first round, and brought one player into
the semi finals, Mr.. Ralph Hills winning a
place there by virtue Of his defeat of Mr..
Rowland
The matches as rule were closer and
harder fought than was the case Monday,
as the better players forced their way
through the preliminary contests.
DR.. Glazebrook found another worthy an
tagonist in Mr.. Cake of the Bachelors
Club. who took the first set Of the match by

unfinished match against Mr.. Geoghegan,

second set before he was finally defeated
Another closely fought match was that be-
tween Messrs. White and Whiting Of the
Bachelors Club, which took three sets to
decide.
Boyle Of the Young Mems Christian As
ISOLATION, who is regarded by the experts as
a dark horse in the tournament, easily
won his way into the second round, and
will play Mr.. White today for a place in
the semi-finals. The best match today will
undoubtedly be that between Dr. Glaze
brook and Mr.. Geoghegan, which will de-
eide the winner Of one Of the prizes Of the
tourney.
Four matches In the doubles were also
played Off yesterday. Messrs. White and
Rowland scored easy victory over

RECORD EQUALED.
Dan Patch Goes a Mile in
1891.

Dan Patch. the famous PAGER, went
against the worlds record Of l. 59A, made
by Star Pointer on the Readville track five
years ago, yesterday afternoon, at Read
Vile, Mass. and in a truly magnificent per-
Torrance equaled the record.
Depending upon memory, Eit seemed to
horsemen who saw Star Pointers perform
ince, that the conditions yesterday were
Identical, and that meant as near perfect
as a day could be. fw- IL
Dan Patch was brought out for warm
ing-up mile with runner as pacemaker.
Without an effort he went the distance in
2:13. Half an hour later the handsome
black PAGER came out for his trial against
time. or a.
AS in the other mile, a runner was sent
out ahead. No time waseiost in scoring,
and Miron McHenry nodded the first time
down for the wire, and II hundred watches
caught the start. The pacerrhad his stride
from the word, and there was not a skip
for the whole mile, hisslegs moving with
perfect regularity. 1t was unot until tho
third quarter that every onef felt convinced
that the record was in danger. Up the
stretch came the PAGER beating out the
runner, and flashing under the wire a
worthy mate for Star Pointer. his time
being 159A. Driver McHenry was wildly
cheered and the crowd rushed to the rails
to see the horse blanketed and led away.
Dan Patchs trial was made at the New
England Breeders Association fall meet
ing. the program of which has been cur
tailed through wholesale withdrawal OF
horses from fall campaigning on tracks in
Massachusetts,.

against the professional plunger and his
doings and as urging men of wealth and
position not to adopt such methods. The
man who is in it for the money, Mr.. Keene
thinks, is a menace to the sport and exerts
an unwholesome influence upon the sport.
On this point he Is quoted rs saying:
IA cheap selling race has to him the
same significance as the winning Of one
of the great classics, with It's wealth OF
lore and tradition. He is there for the
money there is in. It. When q man, sup
ported by high class stable and a ready
bank account, sets out to make business
OF his racing and when he sums up his
summers diversion In proportion to the
total of his profit and loss account. then 1t
becomes serious matter: The plunger
owner Is exploited and his fame falsely re-
fleets the spirit Of the sport. This unwhole-
some tendency among owners Is what leads
to unpleasant results. They become prone
to the habit Of running to get weight off
with a view to insure good price and a
lighter allotment for future race and
prospective coup. The turf cannot thrive
as a commercial venture. We want men
who are content to race for the purses and
the qualification Of seeing their horses win.
We want owners who are willing to incur
big forfeits and pay them out of stakes and
purses their horses may win, IL possible, or
out OF their pockets without demurring II
necessary
1T is not correct for a thorough sports
man to indulge in betting. 1t Is an English
observance founded on good principle. 1t
may be all right for an owner to back his
nomination for moderate amount in o
big race. but will he stop there? We should
leave the gambling exclusively to the gam
blers. I DO not believe in aping the Eng
fish. but there are many owners on the
other side who never make a bet. They
might be emulated here. 1t would ennoble
the sport 1t ought to be that horse rep
resenting the stable of a gentleman may be
backed by all sections Of the public with
out questions as to his fitness arising. The
mere fact that the horse Is to start should
be a sufficient guarantee that he is fit and
has q chance.
mo owner should keep In his possession
an animal of inconsistent racing habits. 1t
Is the predominance of these principles in
English racing which has made the turf
much more of national institution in Eng
land than America"

MILLIGAN TO BE REFEREE.
Chief Official Selected for the Potomac
River Regatta.

Chairman John Hadley Doyle Of the Po-
tomac regatta committee has selected Rob-
ert Miligan of the Pennsylvania Barge
Club as referee for the big event on Octo-
Der 6. Commodore Forbes Of the Schuyl-
kill Navy would have been the referee, but
a letter from that gentleman says that busi-
ness engagements will prevent his being in
attendance at the big regatta. Mr.. Mill
gan is thoroughly posted on all the rules
and Is eminently fitted for the position Of
referee.
Several of the Philadelphia papers have
been booming the Potomac regatta and
urging on the rowing clubs of the Quaker
city to active participation. 1t is now ex-
pected as a result Of this press work that
the crew from the University Of Pennsyl-
yania will come to Washington and take
part in the regatta. Other prominent crews
of New York will also probably be contes-
tants, and altogether the regatta promises
to rank favoraby with anything of the kind
held on eastern waters in the past decade.
1t is now believed that the first race will
have to be started as early as 1 o'clock in
the afternoon, so as to get all the events
off before dark.

COLLINS ON SITUATION.
Clever Third Baseman Says New York
Will Be in American League.

From the New York Sun.
Jimmy Collins, captain and manager of the
Boston American League team and the
greatest of all third basemen, saw the game
at the Polo Grounds, New York, yesterday.
Asked If he was here looking for talent or
American League grounds here. he said he
was just passing through and wanted to see
Mathewson pitch, as he never had seen that
noted boxman perform. What do you think
OF him?" Collins was asked later in the
game Hes pretty good" was the reply;
"he mixes them up well"
Asked If the American League would be In
New York next year Collins replied: Il feel
pretty sure that it will"
How about Leach, Tannehill, Chesbro
and other stars being signed to play on the
New York American League team"

know about that is what I have seen in
the papers"
Don't you know anything about the
American League affairs except what you
have seen in the papers?''
well, yes Collins responded with a
smile. Il guess I'm wise to all that is 60
Ing on. But" he added, there are others
who are wiser than l"
On the subject OF the location Of the
grounds, however, Collins was non-commu-
NEGATIVE. He and the other American
Leaguers apparently prefer to keep the Ma
tional guessing on that point. ''It will all
come out in the wash" he said, ..and it's
in the wringer now"

CLOSE GOLF MATCH.
Bennett Defeated Duva1 by One
Stroke

AS was to be expected. the match played
between Messrs Duvall and Bennett on the
Columbia Golf Club course yesterday after
noon was close one and resulted in favor
of the latter by the score Of 81 to 50. only
one stroke separating the players at the
end. These gentlemen were tied for second
honors in the tournament given by the Co
lumbia Golf Club last Saturday, and yes
terday's match determines the second and
third position In that event. Messrs. Du-
vail and Bennett are two Of the most pop
ular members of the club. as well as among
the best players. AS a result a large gal
lery followed the pair over the course yes
terday, and although Mr.. Bennett was
somewhat Of a favorite on account of his
work at Cape May this summer, Mr.. nu-
vail compelled him to play good golf to
win out by one stroke.
Another exclusive club tournament Will
be held by the Columbia club the coming
Saturday, and it Is expected that majority
Of the members will take part.

CoRBETT IN NEW YORK.
Featherweight Champion Disappointed
Over louisville Injunction.

Young Corbett partly recovered from the
disappointment Of having been prevented
by the Kentucky courts from fighting Terry
McGovern in Louisville for the feather
weight championship, reached New York
last night with Willie Fitzpatrick, his spar
ring partner.
Corbett never looked better. He Is as
rugged as young oak. To a reporter he
said:
81 felt pretty badly when got the news
that 1 could not box McGovern in Louis
vile. There was an advance sale Of $780,
600, and you can imagine did not think of
taking the small end of the purse. Weigh
ing 127 pounds, I was ready to go into the
ring and win, when 1 received the news OF
the courts decision. 1t was little rough
on US. don't you think?
II saw statement in one Of the papers
from Jack Herman of the International A
c., at Fort Erie, Ont, that he did not want
the match because 1t was prize fight and
two states had declared against 1t. No one
made any overtures to Herman. 1t seems
to me that his declaration is ill-ftted to go
with the report of the Ryan-Carter match
Herman is in the business and 1t is pretty
small thing for him to knock the game.
"McGovern and I are virtually matched
We each have up forfeit OF 81, 500. Bids
will be opened on November Is. 1t looks
now as though we will meet in San Fran
cisco. This is not assured, however.

How the Runs Were Made.

Washington scored its solitary run in the
first inning and for time it was thought
contest might be on for the afternoon.
After Doyle had gone out. third to first,
Orth landed a safe one in left field. Dele
hanty hit to Parent and Orth was forced
out at second. Del" then tried for a
steal and pulled 1t off going to third on
Creiger'S poor throw. Billy Keister
Strengthened out one of Ycung's curves and
when the ball was recovered it was near the
right field fence and the batter rested on
second. Carey closed the inning by flying
out to Freeman.
Boston tied the score in the second as the
result of Doyles error on Freeman's
grounder and Ferris triple to center. The
latter could have scored, but he loafed part
of the journey and was nailed at the plate
by good throwing.
In the third two singles. triple and
Stahrs hit over the left field fence scored
four runs for the Bostons. CarrIck put on
steam in the fourth. and LaChance Ferris
and Creiger went out in quick order.
In the fifth, a single, double and Free
mans home run got mixed up with keis-
ter's and Orth's errors and four more runs
resulted. In the sixth. Ferris hit a wild
pitch over the left field fence and Dougherty
scored also as result of a base on balls,
stolen base. Keister's error and throw
down to second and return which he beat to
the plate.
In the seventh inning. Drills error, Glea-
sons single and LaChance's double, scored
Freeman. while Ferris long fly out to Dele
hanty allowed the third baseman to come
home.
In the eight Parent slammed the ball over
the fence for home run and this wound up
the Bostons scoring on the day.
A humorous incident occurred at the end
Of the eighth inning. The lad running the
| score board had nine innings marked up by
| mistake, and the players and spectators
started to leave the rounds. but were re-
called by the scorers in the press box. The
Senators were evidently glad the farce was
over. as majority Of them had raced to
the club house when the recall was sounded

LAJoIE NOW LEADING AMERICAN
LEAGUE BATTERS.
Southern Tennis Tourney-Gravesend
Races-Dan Patch Equals Rec
ord-Base Ball Notes.
American League Clubs Standing.
National League Clubs Standing.

The old story can be told as regards yes
terday's game between the Senators and
Boston, on the local grounds. The veteran,
Cyrus Young. was on the rubber for the
Beaneaters and the Washington club was
a defeated aggregation before the old rail
splitter pitched his first speedy curve. Seven
hits were secured during the afternoons
work by the Senators, but they were scat
tered effectively as to yield but one run.
On the other hand. Carrick was hit almost
at will was given miserable support, and
the Bostons ran up a total of IA runs.
In fielding the poor work of the Senators
almost made the game farce, Keister at
Bostons were on the opposite tack and made
plays Of the sensational order. Dougherty
in left field captured line fly from Clarke's
bat with his left hand that cut off sure
double If not triple, while Parent and
Ferris killed off apparent base hits with
regularity that was most discouraging.
Jimmy Ryan has been limping around for
the past week and yesterday had to retire,
Lee going into center and Orth to right.
With Coughlin still out of the game 1t can
be seen that the Senators We're in bad shape
to go against such an aggregation as the
Bostons and more especially with Young in
the box.
During the fifth inning a wicked grounder
from Stahl'S bat took ugly bound and
struck Jack Doyle in the head, sending him
to the grass for a few minutes to recover.
Jack stuck to his work until the inning was
closed and then Drill relieved him. Doyle
cannot be praised too highly for his work
at second. He is entirely out of place, but,
like the game boy he is, Doyle has been
working along the best he knows how, TAX
ing the roasts from the b!eachers without
murmur.

BATTING AVERAGES.
Lajoie Still Leading, but Delehanty Is
Close Second.

If Napoleon Lajoie hits we'll during the
present series between Cleveland and De-
troit he will be the favored candidate for
batting honors in the American League.
Larry now leads Ed Delehanty by narrow
margin, but so close does Del cling that a
slip or two would hurt.
Lajoie has the best chance, for the
Washington team will be up against Phila-
delphia and Boston for another SERIES and
such pitchers as Waddell and Young are
not playing to boost anybody's batting av-
erage. Charley Hickman has batted his
way to the front. Had he been playing with
Cleveland all season he might have q
chance to finish first. but he is now twenty
points behind Lajoie and will do well to
finish third
