Another Cup Race Probable.

That there Will be a series of races for
the Americas cup in 1903 now seems to be
an assured fact, in view of order given
recently to a block manufacturing concern
at Providence by Sir Thomas Upton. Work
has already been begun for a full set of
blocks for Shamrock II, now in storage In
a South Brooklyn yard. 1t is the general
opinion of yachtsmen at Providence that,
unless the precedent established in the pre-
liminary preparations for other internation-
al yacht races is set at odds, it seems rea
sonable to believe that, if a challenge has
not already been issued. one will soon be
forthcoming from Sir Thomas because of
the plans in process at this early date for
the fitting out of the old challenger.

Grand Circuit Trotting.

Eight complete races gave the 5000 peo-
pie who attended the Detroit Driving Club s
blue ribbon meeting at the Crosse Point
track yesterday an afternoon of excellent
sport. The features of the card were the
2.O4 pace, left over from Wednesday, and
the 2.07 trot. Dan Patch was an almost
prohibitive favorite in the 2.04 pace, and
captured the race in straight heats, with
Searchlght second both times. In the first
heat Searchisht led to the stretch with
Patch trailing second There McHenry
let Dan Patch out, and he rapidly over
hauled Searchlight, winning by a length. He
won the second heat by two lengths, after
trailing second three-quarters of the way.
Lord Derby and Charley Herr were
scratched in the 29T trot leaving only The
Monk and Dolly Dillon. The mare opened
favorite in the betting at $115, with The
Monk at 500. Geers soon proved that the
bettors' Judgment was incorrect, for he
kept The Monk in front all the way in both
heats, winning the first one in 2.O7. Both
Geers and McHenry drove two winners.

The race between these two great riders
at Baltimore last night was made In the
presence of the largest audience assembled
this season at the Hartford Avenue Coli
scum Each heat presented a thrilling
spectacle and 1t was the most exciting race
OF the year. Worlds records were smashed
In the frSt heat and to add to the nerve
racking nature of the event De Guichard
narrowly escaped death The rear seat of
the motor tandem which he was following
fell or toward the end OF the first heat
and De Guichard ran over it. The collision

pace again and was cheered to the echo by
the great audience. In fact, his formidable
antagonism of Champion and his courageous
resumption of his race won the hearts of
everybody present. and all the time he was
on the track he was the recipient of a con-
tinuouS ovation.
De Guichard's motorman also had a mar
row escape, as in order 10 save himself
when the seat fell back he boldly climbed
up on the machine and hung there by main
strength until the big engine could be
slowed down. Had he fallen before De
Guichard instead of the broken seat it Is
likely there would have been two men
killed, as the motors were going at fierce
speed in the eighth mile of the first heat
In addition to the principal event of three

National League Teams Standing.

The Senator's resumed their winning stride
with the Detroits yesterday, the game be-
ing Won in easy fashion by the score Of 8
to >. This one-sided score was all the re-
suit of Pitcher Case Patten. The crafty
southpaw wGs a little backward in his
start. but when once he had got into his
stride, as the horsemen say, there was
nothing to it. The Tigers credited with
eleven hits. six of which were made in the
first inning, the other five being scattered
throughout the remaining eight innings.
Patten has always been puzzle to the De-
troits, and his flats of legerdemain were
continued yesterday. His wonderful curves
had the Tigers pulling away from the plate,
and it is no eXaggeration to say that even
Umpire Connolly was fooled. strikes being
lost in at least seven instances, the sphere
crossing the plate after it seemed impossi-
BILE for it to do SO.
Back of Patten the only mispiay was
made by Scranton Bill Coughiin, who
doubtless grew tired of putting up perfect
game. and broke into the error column for
the first time since he has relieved Wolver-
ton a third. The error was on a fast
grounder that took a sharp shoot into
