DAN PATCH CAN'T COME
He'll Stay at Memphis to Lower the
Record.

The failure Of Dan Patch in his effort
to beat the worlds pacing record at Mem
phis, yesterday, precludes the possibility
of the great PAGERS appearance here this
fall 8 had been planned. MacHenry wired
Secretary r. r. Jones Of the Minneapolis
Riding and Driving club last night that
the failure yesterday would compel him to
remain in Memphis for further trials and
thus his engagements here are Cancelled
When MacHenry drove Dan at I,aVen-
port recently, he stated that he was bound
to have the undisputed championship for
Dan Patch ere the close Of the season.
He is evidently greatly disappointed by
the failure at Memphis but is still of the
opinion he can drive him faster than
1914 and will make further trials while
at the southern city.

Rock Island Dividends.

A member of the executive committee Of
the Rock Island says in regard to the new
issue Of stock to be made Saturday: 'There
seems to be some misunderstanding re-
garding the dividend on the new preferred
stock. The next and last dividend on the
old stock will be payable Nov. /. There
after dividends on the new preferred stock
will begin and accrue at the rate of 4
per cent for 1903. The first quarterly div
idend will, therefore, become due and will
be paid Feb. l. 1908. The directors have
not yet decided as to what they will do as
regards the dividend on the new common
stock. The fact remains that the COM
pany Is earning at the rate of ~ per cent
on the common stock now"

BETTER SHOW FOR MINNIE
Advent of the Rock Island May Give
Minneapolis Better Rates
on Iron. .

Manufacturers of articles itno which
iron and steel enter believe that the ad-
vent of the Rock Island as an independent
freight line will enable Minneapolis to
compete on better terms with Chicago,
st. Louis and other important points for
western business. St.. Louis has had the
upper hold on account Of the rates from
Pittsburg, where st. Louis gets her raw
material st. Louis being a Missouri
river point rates We're so adjusted that
st. Louis had little the advantage. It
is understood that assurance has been
given that rates will be equalized so that
Minneapolis will not have q handicap.
The recent slash in rates gives an ap-
nearance of truth to these assurances.
Except for points reached by the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific, Minneapo-
lis has been handicapped in distributing
it's iron and steel products in the west
1t has also had to obtain its raw material
In Pittsburg. excepting pig iron, which
may be bought at the Gladstone furnaces
and at other lake points, at a rate higher
than that to eastern manufacturing cities

BUILD ATHLETIC TRACK. !"
Advice of James E. Sullivan to
Local Baseball Managers
for West Side Park.

Mr.. James e. Sullivan, president of
the Amateur Athletic Union. was in this
city last week talking with the directors
of the Jersey City Baseball Club about
the building of an athletic track and
field at West Side Park, where the base
ball diamond is.
Mr.. Powers and Mr.. Nevin talked with
Mr.. Sullivan and they promised to take
the idea Under consideration. 1t is
thought likely that by next year at the
latest the track and field will be built.
Mr.. Sullivan said, when spoken to about
his plans:
1T vii lbe a good thing to put track
and field in the grounds. The track
could be built very easily. as the grounds
| are as smooth ass billiard table and lit
tie more than marking out the track
lines and placing a few loads Of cinders
would be required. The track could go
all aroi1pd the present field, and to one
side there could be put in a twenty
yards straightaway track. Then Jersey
City would have a fine place to hold ath-
letic games The grounds could be used
for the local organizationssa the ath-
letes hereal,outs could train without any
trouble. There is at present no grounds
fit to be used by these clubs, and ath-
letics in general would be greatly bene-
fted."

The game between the Oakley A. G.
and the Pearsall Club on the Danforth
avenue grounds yesterday afternoon was
one of the prettiest games ever contest
ed on these grounds Although the home
team won out the Oakleys kept them
on the go throughout the contest and the
result was in doubt until the eighth in
ming, when the Pearsalls got enough
runs to clinch the game. Zimmerman
got his base on an error, and scored on
single by Wake After this it was a
case of one, two, three on both sides
until the eighth inning, when Dialle got
a pass to first, stole second and adj
yanced to third on Gormley's neat sac
rifce, and scored on Zimmerman's slash
ing three-bagger to centre. The latter
also counted on two-bagger by Welch,
who advanced to third when Wake was
safe ON a tumble. Nelson went out on
a fly, but Klein scored Welch on a slash
ing drive to left for two bases. Master
son followed with another two-bagger
to right, scoring Klein, which ended the
scoring. as Griffon struck out. In only
one inning did the Oakleys come any
where near scoring. Iii the fifth when,
with one out. Andy Farley caught the
ball ON the trade mark and landed on
third corner Griffon, however, got up
steam and White struck out. Tudor,
next up, had two strikes on him when
Farley took chance to steal from
third to home. as Gornley was about to
returnthe bah to Griffon. which proved a
fatal chance, however, as the former
threw to thinner, and Farley was run
down betwene the bases. The features
of the game were the pitching of both
Griffon and Farley, the former having
a shade the best of it. Griffon pitched
the day before before the strong Mon
arch A. G., allowing only ten hits in
ten games and striking out twenty-six
batsmen. record any pitcher might feel
proud Of. He was supported in fautless
fashion, as not All error was made in
back of him. Outside of the pitchers
the sliortstops of both teams put up a
remarkable game. Next Saturday the
Pearsalls will journey to Westfeld for a
game mith the latter team. Will Hol-
land, has been secured in the place of
Vaughn, who has been signed by the
Pottsyille Club, Pennsylvania State
League. and. with the addition of the
former, the Peafsalls should come home
with a victory. as everyone knows his
ability, and this alone will inspire the
rest of the nine to do their utmost.
