away the LOTUS band Is invariably found
on the losing side. The gang" moved yes
terday from Chicago to Cleveland, much to
the delight of those who are interested in
an increase of the Cleveland percentage
column. The pitching stan of the Senators
is apparently in the best trim it has at
tanned this season. II the men behind the
pitchers were only able to hit the ball even
semi-occasionally the long string OF close
defeats might easily have been turned into
victories For nine able-bodied men to make
only four or five hits game in and game out
is certainly discouraging. to say the least.
1t is not difficult to believe, therefore.
that the Senators. dragging their woeful
record behind them, drew the smallest
crowd of the season at the Cleveland league
park yesterday afternoon. The score was
to .. with Washington getting away with
the goose egg. Neither team could do any
thing at the bat, and, for that matter,
Cleveland could have won the contest with

secured was on base on balls, steal and

Both pitchers-Moore and Dunkle-seemed
to have everything necessary to mystify
the batterS and as d result hits were scarce.
Each twirler held the opposing club down
to five hits. and these were well scattered
that is with two exceptions.
In the second inning Ryan and Clarke led
off for Washington with safe ones but the
next three batsmen were unable to send
them home. The other exception was when
in the eighth inning, Gochnauer and Flick
singled, Gochnauer scoring. Both teams
played superbly in the field. and not the
semblance of an error was made. Coughlin
played a star game at third, while Flick
and Mccarthy made brilliant catches. The
best work of the day, however was put up
by Hickman at first base. Three times he

NEW WORLDS RECORD.
Dan Patch Lowers Pacing Mark at
Brighton Beach.

On track by no means perfect, and with
weather conditions altogether unfavorable
for fast time, Dan Patch accompanied by
a running horse that went ahead of him
and plowed a hole in the wind. paced a
mile in 1.59 over the Brighton Beach race
track yesterday. beating the best time on
record by a quarter of a second.
After many losing attempts to wrest the
worlds record from that gallant cripple,
Star Pointer. 1.59A. M. E. McHenry. the
driver of Dan Patch, adopted the sugges-
ton made repeated by the Herald in the
last three years, and put a moving wind
shield ahead of the PAGER. At the first at
tempt, made under unfayOrable conditions
as to weather and track, the feet son of
Joe Patchen. following close in the wake
OF the runner, accomplished a feat which
no harness horse ever eQualed.
Dan Patch had tried and failed so many
times that comparatively few persons went
down to the beach to see him make the
persons were present. While the weather
was hot and muggy up town. it was cool
enough for overcOats at Brighton. So ad-
verse seemed the weather that the grand
special was regarded as a mere formal
fty which would result in another failure.
Just before the horse came out to go his
race against the watch Frank B. Walker,
the starting judge. announced to the spec
tdtOrS tnat owing 10 the WIND, cold and
cuppy footing Dan Patch would not start
against the worlds record, but against the
track record of 2.OOH, made by him last
year. The bookmakers offered to wager
even money he would not beat this mark,
but there were no takers. So certain
seemed failure that the trial attracted less
attention than any other feature of the
days program at the Grand Circuit meet
ing.
When the horse came out, at o'clock
two runners in harness accompanied him
One of them was driven by Charles Tan
ner, who had large piece of stiff canvas
suspended from the axle OF his long shaft
sulky. This operated to prevent the run
ner from throwing dirt behind him, and
also to break the wind.
Tanner took the runner out in front
when the word Col" was given, but so
fast did the PAGER move around the first
turn that he nearly went past the pace
maker. Going up the backstretch Tanner
eased away on the chestnut thoroughbred
and from there to the end of the mile he
ran three or four lengths in front of Dan
Patch.
The first quarter was covered in O.a9h
the second in O.29A. the third in 03Oh and
the fourth in 0.29A. More perfect rating
has rarely been seen, an 1 the cheers which
were given for the wonderful horse and his
skillful driver belonged of right equally to
Doc Tanner, who drove the runner with
such faultless judgment throughout the
mile

BOOKER WASHINGTON SPEAKS
Urges the People of His Race to Drop
Grievances.

Booker T. Washington delivered an ad-
dress at the opening session of the National
Negro Business Association at Nashville.
Tenn. late yesterday. He in part said:
More and more, / am glad to see, the
black man is beginning to appreciate and
take advantage of the opportunities for
commercial and business development in
this country. 1t is much wiser for US to
emphasize opportunities than grievances.
The world soon gets tired of the man or the
race with a grievance. We must learn to
be bigger than those who would insult US.
We must learn to hold up our heads and
march brayely forward. in spite of OBJ
Stacles and disbursements.
1.-The mere fact that there can assemble
in this beautiful state capitol building in a
southern state hundreds of colored men and
women from all parts of the country. rep
resenttng as You do nearly every line OF
business in which the white man is en-
gagged, Is an indication of growth which Is
more potent and helpful than much alb
stract argument. The race that can produce
such an assembly of men and women after
only forty years Of freedom is one to be
proud Of.
I'VE shall succeed in winning our way
into the confidence and esteem of the
American people just In proportion as we
show ourselves valuable to the community
in which we live, in all the common indus
tries In commerce, in the welfare of the
state and in the manifestation Of the high
est character.
The community does not fear as a rule
the vote OF the man. no matter what his
color, who is large taxpayer. 1t Is not
the negro who owns a successful business
or works at a trade who is charged with
crime.
while we are In many cases surrounded
with disadvantages. when we compare our
condition and opportunities with those OF
the Jew in many parts OF Europe 1t is easy
to see that almost every opportunity denied
the Jews Is open to us.
THE greater the difficulties to be over
come the more strength we shall gain by
succeeding"
