GRAND CIRCUIT TRoTTING
Records Broken in Different Heats at

The track at Narragansett Park, Provi-
dence, r. l.. was lightning fast yesterday,
and the Grand Circuit opened with record
srla ashinS. Every heat winner broke rec
ords. The 2.20 pacing stake caused the
most excitement, and heightened into a
five-heat contest. George Spear drove Gold
Brick, 2.0s12. and ED" Geers was up be-
hind Dandy Chimes, 2.O94, while Green
line, 2.0S&4 was backed on his Readville
performance 1t was a race between Geers
and Spear. Gold Brick took a mark of
2.0S14 in the first heat, and Dandy Chimes
won the next in 2.0712. Gold Brick won the
third heat and Dandy Chimes the fourth
the two, but Gold Brick won in slow time.
Sensational time was made In the 2OS
pace, when a new 2.05 performer was un-
covered in NathanStraus, driven by Jack
Curry. This fast son of Director easily out
stepped the Readville winners, with marks
around 2.O7, and won the race in two
straight heats, taking a record of 2O5Ia

WADDELL's SPONSOR.
Manager Lotus Brought Out the Grea
but Freaky Pitcher.

Tom LOTUS, the manager of the WASH
ington team, Is responsible for the appear
ance of "Rube" Waddell in professional
company, and he Is hence more or less re-
sponsible for the assistance "Rube'' is Civ
ing Philadelphia In the race for the Ameri-
can League pennant. .
Seven or eight years ago LOTUS was man
ager Of the Columbus (Ohlo) club In the
Western League. A drummer who had seen
WaddeH play in village game in southern
Ohio urged LOTUS to secure him, which
he did, and 1t was under his coaching that
the new player developed into what is tech
nically known "phenom.'
In 2 verv short time he was cutting down
the batting averages Of all the minor league
hitters. He had all the curves and twisters
known to the star pitchers, and a few of his
own invention. His control of the ball be-
came almost absolute in a season or two
His fame grew steadily, and he became a
picturesque figure on many diamonds He
pitched wonderful ball for Columbus Louis-
Vile, Pittsburg, Milwaukee and Chicago
and Is doing the same this season for the
Athletics.
His antics on the field gained him the
name of "Rube." At one game in Col,,m-
bus he struck out three men, one following
the other, and when the crowd cheered he
doffed his cap with a wide sweep and
turned a series of back somersaults from
the pitchers box to the players bench He
is fond of applause. and frequently walks
across the field for apparently no other
reason than to excite the admiratie Of the
crowd, in which he is always successful.
In his last game in Chicago he ''performed'
whenever occasion offered
After one of his mysterious disappear-

the play until the fifth inning, and, seeing

TENNIS EXPERT ASSAULTED.
Six Men Beat R. d. Wrenn Severely
in Newport

A special to the New York World from
Newport yesterday says: II. ID. Wrenn, who
was the lawn tennis champion Of America
for four years, called at the Casino office
on Saturday night and asked for directions
as to how he could reach jamestown. He
wanted to cross the bay to bring several
of his women friends to Newport.
He was recommended TO cali at Kings
ley's wharf and ask for a man who ran a
line OF naphtha launches. Mr.. Wrenn did
as he was told. and when about half way
across the harbor he found that the boat he
had hired was not in a fit condition to
carry welldressed persons without ruin 10
their clothing. When Mr.. Wrenn remon-
strated the man at the helm said that he
did not allow any one to find fault with his
boats, and he put the boat about, heading
for his slip. In the mean time the boatman
told the eX-lawn tennis champion that ne
would be obliged to settle for the run to
and from jamestown, saying that if the
bill were not paid he would keep wrenn
out all night.
Mr.. Wrenn objected and said that he
would never pay cent. A hot argument
followed and in which the skipper called
Mr.. Wrenn a vile name. Wrenn knocked
the skipper down three times.
The skipper deemed it advisable to re-
turn TO Newport, but before he tied up at
the dock he gave a peculiar cry, which was
answered by his friends, and to them he
told the story. The crowd pitched into
Wrenn and beat him numerically.
The police were called, the police station
being only a few feet distant. All the par
ties were gathered in and told tho ir stories
Mr. Wrenn, with blackened eyes and
with cuts on his face and head did not care
to press the charge in order to avoid no.
toriety. He said that the attack was made
upon him by at least six .burly fellows.
Knowing that he could not finish his
Newport visit owing to his disfigured face,
ran g
night and ended his Newport season abrupt
ly. The Casino officials were notified by
Mr.. Wrenn, and say that henceforth all or
ders from that establishment will be given
to others than those who assaulted the ax-
lawn tennis champion.
No report of this affair has been given
out by the police department and ali me
police officials profess ignorance OF the as
sault.
