Cup Stays in Cleveland.

Cleveland, Sept 6.-At Chenille John
A McKerron placed the Boston chal-
lenge cup in permanent possession of
the Gentlemens Driving club. He
rather easily OUTRAGED his pair of rivals,
Lord Derby and The Monk. being a
straight heat winner. Lord Derby drew
the pole and rushed over to the half in
1:021a. McKerron travelled the second
quarter in 80 seconds and caught I'D.
Al opening showed itself and he was
pushed in next the rail- He worked up
even to the Derby horse. Half way
down the stretch Lord Derby made a
firing break and McKerron logged
home. The Monk had given up Just
after the half had been passed. Nc
Kerron was allowed to set the pace at
the start of the second heat and at the
half Lord Derby moved out and set sail
for the leader. He had him caught, but
broke again at the time when he had
his only chance to win. The enthusi-
asm of 1900 people was unbounded.
The pacing cup also stays in Cleveland,
as Ananias OUTRAGED Fred S. Wedge

pace at all.

the odds displayed. So many curious
persons, not anxious to bet, but eager
to see the flow of greenbacks, have been
crowding around Uflman so persistently
that it has been difficult matter for
the p1ungers and their commissioners
to get within reach. Having had long
experience in breaking fighters out of

Not Nearly Enough Room in the

Street a Poor Selection.

Cincinnati, Sept. 6.-Ren milford says
in dispatch to the Enquirer from New
York.
If the American babes ever go to
Jones's woods the birds will cover them
with leaves all right. Personal investi-
cation of the latest yarn in New York
circulation this morning leads to no
startling discoveries. With stands built
upon all the ground that was once

cry. That settles one story.
There is a strip of vacant property on
Avenue A. between Sixty-fourth and
Sixty-seventh streets that might with
considerable grading be converted into
a long and narrow ball ground, but not
as good as the South End Tennis Court
at Boston, which is a perpetual hand1-
cap for National League success at the
Hub. The survivors of grove of sturdy
oak are scattered over the slope which
is part of the great Schermerhorn es-
tate. 1t is directly opposite Blackwelfs
Island. and by ascending slight hill,
East River breaks into view. This is
historic ground. Dewitt Clinton, New
York's first governor, once lived upon
the estate. His old home still stands
overlooking the plot coveted by the
American League. The. Pastime Ath-
1etic Club has a lease upon a part of
this ground and the old Schermerhorn
mansion is now used as clubhouse by
that organization. The entire tract is
leased by the Braun Bros-H. T. and
A.-who run a swimming school on
East River, and they sublet to several
parties. 1 met both lessees and while
we sat on the porch of the old Manse
and saw Howard Gould's Niagara and

yachtsmen visible, the brothers talked
baseball.
Il heard the Jones's woods story at
lodge last night said H. T.-for they've
traveled-"but the American League
won't have enough there. One year ago
an attempt to secure Schermerhorn
property for baseball purposes failed,

for success now. The property would
have to be secured through us. Last

NOT PEARY'S SON.
Made the People Think He Was
and Got Job.

A raggedy man in a coat three sizes
too big for him drifted into the free en-
ployment agency the other day and
asked for work. 81 am Boyd Peary, son
of Lieut.. Robert E. Peary, the arctic
explorer he said to John Alexander,
assistant employment agent
Then young Mr.. Peary went on to give
the officers a hard luck story which it
would be difficult to beat outside of the
Blue Fairy book.
II left home about six months ago.
and am q years of age he said My
home is at 4317 West Forty seventh
street, New York city, where until siA
months ago I lived with my father. We
had some trouble and left home, with
understanding that I should not come
back inside of a year. He thought it
would be good thing for me to get out
and rough it for while Well, I had
plenty of money at first, and had a very
good time. But have been up against
some hard luck and am dead broke. I
want place to work-any kind OF
work. I'm not bit particular what.
My father supposes I have plenty of
money, and would gladly help me if I
would ask him, but I won't do that;
am going to stick out the year.
To say that the employment office Off
Gals felt honored by a visit from the
son of the celebrated explorer Peary
is putting it mildly. They hustled
around and got him a job in some rail.
road work out in central Kansas, got
him pass, and se1lt him out.
Since Boyd Peary left it has occurred
to some of them to look up the records
a little, and they have found that Lieut.
Peary was not married until 1885, and
that he has only one child, daughter.
