GRAND CIRCUIT TRoTS.
The Monk and Reelected Were the
Winners at Fort Erie Yesterday.

The two unfinished races Of the grand
circuit meeting at Fort Erie, near Buffalo,
were run off yesterday before free-ad-
mission crowd, composed mostly of bettors
whose wagers were hanging in the balance.
The fact that Chain Shot had beaten The
Monk In the first heat on Thursday in the
2O7 trot did not scare the followers Of
Geers, and the Monk ruled about 25 to II
against the field. Geers had little difficulty
in getting two heats and the race, forcing
Chain Shot to break 100 feet from the wire
in the first heat of the day and winning
under a pull in the second
Reelected, in the PA trot, was also
favorite at about 25 to 15 against the field.
with considerable money sprinkled around
on Alice Carr and Alice Russell. Reelected
had won two heats. but had hard time
beating out Maiborn, who challenged him
in the last sixteenth and lost only by
neck. Reelected being whipped to the limit.
The track was slow and the weather
windy.
Geers narrowly escaped injury in scoring
for the third time with Prince of Orange.
The horse reared and lifted the sulky.
When it came down Geers weight bent it.
and he stepped out just In time to control
the horse. which was acting badly.

each OF the three houses in effecting an

apartments were entered. His clothes
were taken from near his bed, and from
the pockets of the garments the burglars

PRESIDENT JOHNSON SATISFIED.
Maintains That Six American League
Clubs Are Ahead Financially.


This has been great year for the Amer
lean League. Up to and including the game
of last Saturday we had played to 200
more paid admissions than we had at that
date last season.
Thus spoke Byron Bancroft Johnson,
chief executive of the American League, at
Sportsmans Park, St. Louis yesterday
afternoon.
"Furt thermore. you have got to use your
two hands to count the clubs in our or
ganzation that are ahead on the season.
Every one of the eight cities. save Balti-
more in the east. Detroit in the west.

Mr.. Johnson, has the American League
prospered in st. Louis to the extent that
you thought it would?' asked a reporter of
the ST. Louis Star.
Yes. The Browns had the misfortune of
playing some poor games at the start. and
thus were slow in making friends. How
ever, they have been playing splendid ball
of late, and the crowds are entirely salts
factory.
Mr.. Hedges club played sensational ball
down east last time, and l understand
cleared some $1,000 or 5000 over all ex-
penses.
1.-The race for championship honors is
bound to result in long, hard struggle,
with the Browns in the running. That
means packed benches at all important Sc
ries of games in ST. Louis from now on
Has Mr.. Dreyfuss been invited to accept
a franchise in the American Lacquer
mo; l don't know of any franchise that
Is on the market. In time Mr.. Dreyfuss
and his players may be with us. but up to
date he hasn't applied for admission, nor
have we invited him to come with US.
II have been reading in the papers of late
that we were going to lose some thirty or
forty of our best men next winter. l don't
think that we will.
Charley Comiskey has already signed
the pick Of his team. Frank Dwyer has
also landed Elberfeld, Barrett and the rest
of his stars for another year.
Connie Mack has signed all the mem
bers of his Athletics that he wants, Hart
Eel and Lave Cross among the number.
Cleveland has Lajoie, Hickman and the
rest Of them In line for 1903.
I'm fact. know that our managers have
signed pretty nearly every man that they
cared for I doubt If the desertions win
amount to per cent. And to counterbal-
ance this we will probably get some of the
National Leagues best men.
Richard Padden, the braIny second
sacker Charley Comskey's old field COM
was, 1t transpires the cause Of 1t all.
1T was the National League that began
the despicable habit of stealing players"
declared the bulky Byron Bancroft 'They
seem to have forgotten that such was the
case. However. Dick Padden was the first
player to be 'swiped,' to use slangy
phrase.
I'm 1900 he had led Commies braves to
the championship. He had not contracted
for 1901. but had been placed on the Chi
cago clubs reserve list However, Harry
Pulliam got him to desert and sign with
Donovan.
THAT was the first case of one of the
leagues stealing the others players. And,
to my way Of thinking. 1t has proven a
costly move to the older body
