LOU DILLON A WONDER
Horse World Says She Is Likely to Trot
In 2:O2 This Year.
Horse WOr.


Lou Dillon, 2:02A! Another nail in the
coffin of the anti-two- minute idea. OF
course it does not follow that, because
the Dillon mare has beaten the 2.03, she
will trot in two minutes, but the manner
in which she trotted her mile dees show
that she may be regarded as almost GER
tain to dethrone Cresceus, 2.02A. How
fast she will trot this year is a matter
of conjecture, but almost every good
Judge who has seen her go her fast mile
is of the opinion that she will beat 2.02,
and some of them think she will trot in
FOL or better. If she accomplishes even
the lesser Of these tasks as 5-year-old
during her first year on the turf, few are
there who will regard her as having
reached her limit. With good care and a
sound set of legs she ought to improve
for two years yet and if she does 1t seems
rea sonable to believe that she will even
tually trot in two minutes.
When Cresceus made his record Of
2.O2A, it was common to hear men say:
He is the horse of the century. It will
be many many years before his equal
appears In a space Of two brief
years however, trotter that in speed
is certainly his equal and probably his
superior has appeared. Those who pre-
dicted that it would be many years before
Cresceus equal would be seen are the
same ones who are so certain that no
horse will ever trot mile in two minutes.
They have been proved wrong in one re-
spect and they are just as likely to be
proyed so in the other.

Millers Play Just Good Enough Ball
to Lose First Game to
Colonies.
Dick Williams Falls Into Trance
in the Fourth Inning and
Misses Bet.

The millers played just good enough
ball to lose yesterday afternoon. They
made just as many errors as the colo
nels, and got four more hits, but when
had taken the first Of the series.
The management has decided to adopt
a new policy next season. It will sign a

that In this way there will be chance Of
winning something. The present bunch
apparently couldn't win a jackpot If they
were allowed to stack the deck behind a
curtain.
Barring violent Discrimination to hit
with men on the Sacks and a piece of corr
ner lot playing by Dick Williams, the
miuers played a game that was accept
able yesterday. even If they did lose. Men
ton should also be made of one Spooner,
who let himself be caught of third In the
second on Williams grounder. This slow
work. however, was 50 far discounted by
the lurid brilliancy Of Williams exploit
that it was forgotten.
In the fourth, with one out, Williams
popped up dinky fly which dropped into
Schriver's hands just inside the third base
line. With his Characteristic generosity

Of time to reach the initial sack before
the sphere dropped, but instead he re-
manned frozen at the plate, and Schriver
regained the ball in time to throw him
out at first. The performance would more

ing the blond twirler from large slice

The millers got twelve safe drives off
Walker, the colonies star twirler, but
most Of the swats were wasted. In the

safe drive, but Yeager popped one to

visitors got only eight swats, but most

youngster has good speed and bids fair
to make good with experience.

that the millers will be sent to the harvest
fields and the st. Cloud team be- hired
to finish out. the season. The manage
lment also states that it is not considering
an offer from the contractors to let the

U think Corbett is not as fast or as

Sullivan was asked if he thought JEFF

hesitated a few moments before he re-

good anyhow. I don't know whether he

Fighting to-day is play business to-
