REGRETS SENT
BY LOU DILLON
The Fast Trotter Not in vCondi.
ton for the Hamline
Meet.

Although reports from Cleveland,
Ohio, state that Lou Dillon is now re-
covering, it is not probable that the
year to approximate her great mile
of 1:5sh made at Memphis last fall
Experts In trotting horse training
We're very much surprised that San
ders would allow Lou Dillon to I'M
dertake to accomplish what she did
last week at Cleveland and Detroit. 1t
is seldom that an expert trainer allows
horse, to undertake a supreme effort
more than once each week. Lou Dill
Detroit; and although she trotted a
remarkably good mile, track and day
considered, finishing in 2:05A after a
badly rated performance, Mr.. Sanders
got up again the second day after and
drove her in 2:o4 to sulky, her first
mare was then shipped to Cleveland,
Ohio, and on Saturday was again
asked to do what no horse had ever
done; that is, to beat Maud SIS mile
in 2:0S% to high wheel sulky. Never
theless, the great mare trotted the
mile in 2:09A, day and track not be-
ing propitious; finishing 'all strung
out" and in really a very bad state,
coming down Immediately after the
performance with a very high fever
and living through the night only with
the aid and assistance of two veterin-
arians, who at no time felt safe in
saying the great mare would live.
Lou Dillon wintered in Memphis; and
although she was in the hands Of her
regular trainer, Mr.. Sanders, she
comes out this spring nearly a hun
dred pounds under weight, and in a
comparatively weakened state.
Lou Dillon was one the stars that
was expected to perform at Hamline
on the 18th and 18th Of this month.
Correspondence leading up to her ap-
pearance here had been going on for
some time, and contract was about
to be signed; but Millard Sanders, her
trainer, wired at last, Il am afraid it
is impossible, owing to the mares
sickness, and lack of condition. How
ever. the horse-loving public Of the
| northwest will be provided with an
attraction far greater than Lou Dill
lon in the worlds champion harness
performer, Dan Patch, who, reports
from Indianapolis now state, is in the
best of form and apparently close to
record-breaking condition right now.

Columbus, Aug. 5.-Real, live. up-to-
date baseball and of a. quantity to satisfy
the most voracious sporting appetite was
furnished yesterday afternoon by the SEN
ators and millers when they got together
for their first .'doubleheader" of the sea-
son. It was an even break, the visitors
losing the first game by one run and Win
ming the second by like margin.
It was even money on the winner all the
way and the frequency with which the
hitters of each team leaned against the
leather was enough to keep the fans
guessing from start to finish. Errors were
not fnfrequent, Columbus making seven In
the second game, but they were offset by
brilliant fielding exhibitions and in nearly
all cases the mistakes were hard
chances.
Greminger, watkins latest and largest
acquisition, made his debut. He played
third base and played it in a manner
gratifying to his admirers. At bat the
..Battleship" gave proof Of why ''Watty"
wanted him, his batting average being
1893 in the first game and 500 in the
second. The big fellow certainly made
good and II he keeps up the pace ne
set yesterday he will be Invaluable to the
millers.
After getting grip on the first game In
the eighth inning the flour city represen-
tatives were taken into camp by the SEN
ators, who rallied to a heart-breaking fin
ish in the ninth. With two men down and
out in the last round and the visitors
looking for the chance to land the knock
out blow, Hickey showed his staying pow
ers by smashing one Of Thomas benders
down the third base line, scoring two Of
his compatriots, and the game was over,
2 to 3.
The second battle opened up with the
Ryjr IN r0stior and hHnorS
easy Ferry and Glendon were on the
firing line for their respective batteries
and In the second both of them went to
the bad with the result that each con-
tingent counted three. Minneapolis added
two in the third, then both sides grew
cautious and there was nothing doing
except in the fifth, when Columbus scored
q lonesome tally, to the end Of the chap
ter.

New York, Aug 5.-This is tale Of
"Sandow" Mertes. Yet g. little while ago
there were clamors from the bleachers
that "Sandow'' was not strong man, but
an overgrown weakIing. Not only was he
unable to hit, it was affirmed, but he
was a drag on the team. These early sea-
son Mysteries had little effect on Manager
McGraw, who realized only too well that
Mertes was a victim Of that dread sun
which glares day after day into his eyes
when he is playing on the polo ground.
Therefore Mertes continued to play.
This Is what Mertes did recently. His
