Without feeling the touch of whip or

The race was as exciting as any ever

For the first time. In the history of the

but it was without the knowledge of the

ever, went only for the big bettors. AS for
the man of limited means, there was no
chance for him. The absence of betting did
not detract from the race itself nor from
the crowd. Spectators, perhaps, were less
numerous than last year. when 1t was esti-
mated that 10000 persons went through the
gates. Saturday about 10000 or 1900 less
saw the race won by Highball. There
was. however. the same riot of color on the
lawns, clubhouse steps and in the infield.
Tallyhoes, irags and other splendid turn
outs were there in force and the cheering
was lusty at the finish.

Notes Of Saturdays Game.

From the Cleveland Leader.

Six doubles and one home run in game

BY winning yesterdays game, Cleveland
was able to break even in the series with
the eastern teams. This was a decided
slump from the showing made on the east
eTH
Cleveland tried to work the double steal
twice during the game, and each time the
man was caught between the bases. Wash
ingto ntried it once. and it worked to per-
lection.
President johnson viewed the game from
President Kilfoyl's private box. He had a
chance to watch the work of Sheridan and
Carpenter. but did not have anything to
say after the game.
The Clevelands are showing that they can
play base ball when they get some one
to instill a little ginger into their work.
Yesterdays work, with one or two excep-
lions, could not have been improved upon.
Bradley was asleep in the seventh when
he allowed Moran's hard grounder to get
away from him. He thought Lajoie would
take the ball. when. in fact, the field cap
tain had run to second to engineer a double
play.
Jake Stahl gave Flick hard chase for
the batting honors. and although he had
an average of LOCO, his hits were not as
clean, especially the last one. Many per-
sons thought that the throw beat him in
the eighth inning.

of ball during the entire home series as
they did the last two days there would be
