is generally regarded as knowing some
thing Of the ways OF plungers.
Most people who went over The ground
at Morris Park are OF the same opinion.
They saw the stewards inspect the
points and color bearings OF the horse,
and then went away asking one of the
other: Who put bet down for Crom-
well?"
The answer: John J. Ryan.
The stewards have decided that The
Fiddler is no ringer. He is simply a
fairly good racer. capable of mile in
LAO. Cromwell bought him when he
had been doing very poor work. and
nursed him along till he got to be first
class. Then he let Ryan in on the
scheme. and three days later The Fid-
der ran startlingly well.
1t was Ryan's money that hit the

Texas and Montana poolrooms. He
must have cleared fully $780, coo.
Ryan is expected to arrive here on
Saturday, and the professionals are
ready to doff their hats to the man
ager of the smartest coup perpetrated
in many years.

Boston, also wanted the first game, and
he decided to pitch Dineen. That Is
why PHILIPPE wanted to pitch, just to
show them that all pitchers looked alike
to him.
He had only one bad inning, the ninth.
Up to that time he had allowed but
four hits. which had Melted one run,
while Pittsburg was five to the good.
Then came Bostons half of the ninth.
Collins. Stahl, Freeman. La Chance, and
Ferris made safe drives and 1t looked

the seventh. when he allowed four hits
which brought in three runs.
