BEST E-YEAR-OLDS
TO MEET IN RICH STAKE
Savable and Africander to Battle in
Realization.

The crack three-year- OF the East
and West will clash for the first time
this season. Africander, the accredited
champion Of the metropolis. viii have
as a competitor for the rich Lawrence
Realization Stakes SaEable, the winner
OF last years Futurity
The race will be worth approximately
$40. Zoo. 1t is the most valuable three
year-old event Of the Sheepshead Bay
meeting.
Despite Savable's defeat IN the Ameri-
can Derby he is considered by Western
horsemen the best colt over distance
OF ground in the country. John A. Drake
still has confidence in his favorite, and
Will bet on him heavily.
Afrieander. trainers say, Is not I'D to
a hard race. His efforts Ia mud and
over hard tracks have duIled his best
speed and caused him TO lose his best
form. Besides this bis old affection, con-
tracted feet, Is again in evidence. Sew
eral days ago he was very sore. but in
much better now
The field Of colts that viii participate
in the event is the best In training.
Many horsemen believe Golden Maxim
will win. His trial on Saturday was
very impressive. He is considered the
most dangerous colt in the race. Short
hose and whorler will also race we'll.
All in all. ii IS the most open race O;
the season.

Tough One to Lose.

Hard luck. Hard luck! Hard luck.
II yesterdays first game was not q heart
breaker. there never was one. That
single run acquired by Cleveland in the
first inning was as good as a hundred,
since the Senator'S were unable TO even
tie it. yet they outbatted their opponents
and their fielding was far more brilliant.
LOTUS was as weak as a kitten at the
conclusion OF the game. so Justify did he
root.
The game was played all over again in
his conclusion, and he took particular
pains to point out to each and every
player just where he (the player) indi-
vidually could have won the game. Sell
bach's stupid base-running was mainly
responsible. and Lotus unhesitatingly
apprised him of the fact.
Lee in right was a revelation to the
fans, and more than one stated that
Delehanty could extend his French leave
over as long period as he desired. since
no one missed him but Lotus. who is
just $1,000 out.

No Tidings Yet.

Apropos of Delehanty. however, the
big fellows whereabouts is still
shrouded in mystery. as far as LOTUS.
his fellow players. and his wife are con-
cerned. AS late as noon today no word
had been heard OF him.
With a year and a half salary to the
good. the chances are Delehanty is wor-

CLEVELAND PUTS A
CRIMP IN SENATOR'S
Wins Both Games of Yes
terday's DOuble-Header.
FAST, BRILLIANT FIELDING
Lee and Setback, for the Home Club,
and Harry Bay, for Visitors, Garry
Off the HonoIs.

The usual peace. quiet, and serenity
which pervades American League Park
was rudely disturbed yesterday after
noon, and before the first of the two
games between the Senators and the
Clevelanders had progressed far it be-
gan to be whispered around among the
$3.50 fans present that the cause Of the
din was Bill Clarke's coaching.
How those leather lungs OF his did
wake things up around that neighbor-
hood. and the effect it had upon the
home team was soon made manifest.
Two prettier games one would have
to travel far to see. Both were replete
with brilliant plays of the hair-raising
order, with the honors. If anything,
trifle in the Senator's favor.
We Lose Both.
Cleveland won them both. The first was
a pitchers battle between Patten and
Bernhard Case let the visitors down
with four hits. while Bernhard was hit
for five, but. alas. they didn't material
ize when needed. Lajoie's team scored
one In the first inning. the solitary run
OF the game. Bay was out, Patten to
Clarke. Bradley singled and stole sec
ond- Lajoie bowled one through Martin
and was safe. Joe should have had II.
Hickman sent one skyward in Sells ter
rttory- Just as he set himself for the
catch he spread his length in the lap of
Mother Earth. the ball got away from
him, and Bradley dented the home plate
with a tally
Fail to Connect.
Time and again after that the SEN
ators had an opportunity to win out.
but were not equal to the emergency.
the necessary hit was not forthcoming.
and defeat No. was recorded.
Lee and Setback felded like colts.
They sprinted and careened about the
field and trapped seemingly impossible
balls. Each was cheered to the echo.
Kittridge caught a finished and care
ful game and raped out a beauty hit.
the first time up. All in all, the game
was quite the prettIest seen In Wash
ington in years.
The second game was a different
proposition. however. While the Sena-
tors felded In their same brilliant STYLE
their woeful weakness with the stick

the contest

This is policy that has been followed

There was probably nc more edept

he played on the Chicago team.

playing first base for the Colts, had a
set of signals all their own. With men

was a two to one shot that the batter
would attempt to sacrifice them ahead a
base. Well knowing that the man on
first would play far off the base. and get
good lead as soon as the ball left the
pitchers hand. he would signal for a

mitt he would snap it down to Arson.

runner before he regained the bag. Kit
