Cup Yachts Are Being. Overhauled
in Preparation for Sandy
Hook Trials.

The Reliance and Constitution are at
Bristol, r. J., getting a general over
hauling for the races that, are to be sailed
off Sandy Hook next week. The Reliance
will have her sails recut. Some Of them
were well stretched in the races sailed on
the Sound and dc not At as we'll as they
should. s, q
Constitution is to have her old mast
stepped In place Of the one used in the
| races. This spar has been heightened two
feet to give better lead to the peak
billiards and keep the gait well inboard
when sailing on the wind. It is probable
that the mast will be rugged like the mast
of the Reliance.
The races on the Sound, while they
nave not been very good tests, owing to
f1ukiness Of the wind. have shown con-
clusiyely that In Hight weather the Re:
lance is a wonderful drifter., She has
sailed away from the Constitution and
Columbia on all points OF sailing when
there seemed to be very little air stirring.
They only. had one test at windward work
and that was in a. light f1uky air, but it
| showed thai the new boat is superior to
the older cnes turning to windward. In
a good sailing breeze at reaching she is
very little better than the Constitution and
those two yachts are very closely matched
when carrying balloons. In all the races
on the Sound she only had3a spinnaker up
Tor about four minutes and in that four
minutes she drew away from the Consti-
tuition very fast

footers in the Glen Cove series four were

We're on the Last leg when the time limit
expired On this race they were timed
at the second mark, which was fourteen
miles from the start, 80 it is fair in COM
pairing times to take that fourteen miles
into consideration: Altogether the Re-
nance and Columbia sailed 119 miles and
the Constitution, owing to her accidents,
saied> 81 miles. The elapsed times for the
hehance for the 119 miles was 16 hours
81 minutes SO seconds, the Columbia ~
hours 81 minutes 4s seconds. It is hardly
1 fair to take the last race into, consider
alton 1p comparing the times, because the
Columoln was hopelessly becalmed before
she turned the outer mark and for the
sake OF making comparisons in time this
race IS not taken into account

RLUNGER HAS QUIT
Pittsburg Phil Retires From the
Track After a Long and Sue
cessful Season.
Won 100000 on a Single Race
Was a Terror to Layers
of Odds.

game for good and all.ss'
This was what George E. Smith said
to several members 2nf the Metropolitan
Turf Association Saturday in the big ring
at Gravesend, New York. It was not the
heated outburst that one may hear almost
any day at any race track from some dis
gruntled loser, but was the convincing
speech of one of the coolest heads ever
seen on the turf or off, for that matter
It was not that one of the greatest
plungers ever know to the turf had sud
denly become displeased, but it was the
determined assertion of a man, who feels
he has had enough Of the game and is
ready to take his leave Of 1t, as any man
may retire from business after a success
full career.
Many people would pass the name OF
George e. Smith without notice, but that
of 'sPittsburg PHIL is one that is known

where the English language is spoken.

Millers Drop Second Game Of Louis

to Hit.
Vasbinder's Bad Hand Prevents Him
From Pitching in His Usual
Form.

The naillers struck another snaS yes

the mastery pitching of Dusty Coons.
won out by a score Of to 3.
eCy vasbinder opposed Coons and was
not as steady as usual. Attic he has
pitched winning ball during the last two
weeks, Vasbinder has been badly handi-
capped by sore thumb on his working
hand. The member is swollen to twice
its usual size. so that 1t is almost I'M
possible at times for Cy to get a firm
grip on the ball. He has been unable to
use curved ball. and has been forced
to rely wholly upon speed and control.
Yesterday the control was more diff
cult than usual for Cy. Frequently he
was forced to slow up to locate the plate.
and when this happened the colonies
usually punched his delivery.
Even then the game would have been
close had the milers made the most OF
their opportunities. They had two OPP
portunities to retire Childs. who scored
the first run for the colonies in the third.
First Oyler Juggled Childs' grounder. put
ting the chunky infielder on first. Then
Spooner gathered in a. pop fly from Coons
bat and fastened back to first In time
to complete the double, but dropped the
ball as he was crossing the bag. Kerwin's
triple scored Childs, giving the visitors an
unearned run.
Fielding errors, however, are excusable
The same cannot be said Of dumb base
running, especially when the offender Is
a man with as much experience in fast
company as McCreery. In the first. Mac
was roosting on third with one out, when
Ially drove a long fly to Kerwtn in right.
1t was easy for Mac to score on the play
but he got too anxious. and quilted the
third sack before Kerwin gathered in the
hit. The visitors promptly relayed the
ball to third. and Mac was called out.
Such carelessness has cost the millers
will cost many another unless Manager
Yeager impresses the men with the i'm
portance Of staying awake during the
progress Of the game.
While these slips made the score look
a little worse, perfect play would hardly
have won for the 1nillers. Except in the
third inning Coons had them dashed to the
mast. In this round the mllers started
what looked like another anvil chorus.
With two out McCreery slashed out his
second double, Spooner tripled, and Lally
hit for two sacks, scoring two earned
runs. Coons recovered himself, however,
and held the local sluggers safe until the
end Of the game.
Altho one-sided the game was marked
by a number of brilliant fielding plays.
Chief among them were two catches by
Oyler. a ne-handed stop of a hot
grounder by Mcintyre. and q, running
catch by Odwell which robbed Spooner of
a, two base hit.
To-morrow's game with the co1onels
will close the series at home. The millers
start east Wednesday night and open Fri
day at Toledo. They will swing clear
round the circuit before returning home

well remembered to this day, was with
King Cadrnus. And this was one that
may well be remembered as one Of the
biggest things that ever came off on a
race track. Had he done nothing else in
turf history he would have been remem-
5bered and talked of in after years. for this
one thing alone.
King Cadmus was colt that was put
gup at auction at the sale of August Bel
mont in 1890. This yearling caught the
eye of t'Pittsburg Phil and he was ready
to pay good price to take him into his
stable. The bidding was spirited and the
colt went to phil" for $4,000.
King Cadmus started as a, 2-year-old in
1891. Phil always confident that he had
q winner, bet on him at every start and
lost. thousands, and about this time many
of the wise heads were predicting the
passing Of a plunger. Those there were
who said he would surely not last thru
that year.
He bet heavily on,the colt at Monmouth
Park and lost. He was entered in the
Futurity and "Phil'e was confident that he
would not be out Of the money and bet
thousands on him in that race. Again he
lost but this man of ice never turned q
hair.
He was entered in the Sapphire stakes
run at Sheepshead Bay shortly after the
Futurity, and this was the race that
marked the coup LnaL Will never be for

eager to take the bets of the youthful
plunger from the West. The opening price
of King Cadmus was Is to 1.

horse, and when he had been the rounds

race was being run knew that he stood
to win a fortune. They looked at the race

evenly matched in height, weight and

NORTHERN LEAGUE

The first two series Of baseball games in tho
Northern league have been concluded. and have
demonstrated that the Northern league this sea-
son will be huge success. The patronage Of
the games have exceeded all expectations, and
every club in the league has been making good
money from the very start OFF. The Memorial
Day games were very largely attended.
Winnipeg Is at the head Of the percentage
column, having lost but game of the eleven
played. Grand Forks comes next, having lost
two, both to Duluth. Crookston Is third IN the
list with Fargo and Duluth next and Superior
playing good game Of tailenders. The teams
are all stronger than they were year ago,
and even the first games of the season were
faster than the ball seen in the league last
year.
