The total number of errors would
have made a bank statistician cross

were out the New Workers made no less
than ten runs, two of them being
homers. In these two games the Cleve-
landers played what was without doubt
the most striking reversal of form seen
on diamond in a decade. Certainly
the making of ten runs in one inning
after two men were out is a record
never before equaled in a major league.

Mr.. Sullivan, by the way, is making a
wide reputation as a host. Among his
guests thus far at St. Louis have been
Secretary of State John Hay, Secretary
of War William H. Taft and Miss Alice
Roosevelt, the presidents oldest
daughter, who distributed prizes to
winners at one of the earlier athletic
meetings at the exposition. When Mr..
Sullivan finishes with the princes, bar

ENGLISH JOCKEY CLUB.

At their next meeting the members
of the English Jockey club will be in
vited to discuss two important propos-
ais. The one concerns the licensing of
trainers, and the other relates to the
institution of half mile races for two
year-olds. At the present time the
cation of trainer is open to any man
so long as he is content to carry on the
business away from Newmarket. The
stewards of the Jockey club now pro-
pose that every trainer in Great Brit
ain shall be compelled to take out an
annual license and pay a yearly sub
scription of SIS to the Bentinck benevo-
lent fund. 1t will, think, be generally
agreed that this is a move in the right
direction. For one thing, it removes an
anomaly. Why should Newmarket
trainers alone be licensed? If it is de-
sirable that they should be under the
direct control of the stewards it must
be advisable to put their ''provincial'
brethren on the same footing. The au-
tocratic rule of the Jockey club is
cheerfully acknowledged by everybody
associated with the turf, and so long
as this is the case it is to the general
advantage that their powers should be
as far reaching as possible. No one
for a moment supposes that this pro-
posal to license trainers will be in the
slightest degree detrimental to any
man honestly and conscientiously dis
charging his duty to his employers.
On the contrary, it will give him an
official status and guarantee to some
extent his fitness for the work he I'M
dertakes to discharge But it is con-
ceivable that circumstances might
arise which would render it desirable
that a trainer should retire, tempo
