The most sensational performance,
on the race track this season, viewed
from any standpoint, was that Of Sweet
Marie, when she won the sixteenth an
nual Pennsylvania stake of $4,000 az
Lexington Thursday. The race. won III
the last three heats Of the five trotted,
was a marvellous battle thruout, ana
between the Marie horse and the geld
ing Tiverton four records were shat
tered. For this reason, more than for
the winning of the purse and race,
which was but a duplication OF the
beating she gave Tiverton at Provi-
dence few weeks ago, was the match
without an equal this season. The re-
cord for five heat race, was lowered.
Tiverton by winning the second hea,
in 2:O41a made a new worlds record
for q gelding In a race. The third heat,
won by Sweet Marie in 2:05, Is another
new worlds record for a third heat,
and the record for the race of 2:O7A
was broken three times in the first
three heats. The years race record,
2:O61a, also went glimmerlng. ana
there are probably a lot of other mis-
cellaneous records that the sharps Will
figure out when they get down their
dope books. The above totals briefly
the significance Of this race to racina
men and race track followers

several teams Of the state. Last Sat

the preliminary scrimmages. From the
work OF the past week, SO far as 1t has
been possible to learn, 1t would appear
as tho S. U. l. would have no great

For the first time in the history OF
its club Des Moines will take advantage
this wear of the drafting rules OF the
National Association Of professional
Base Ball Leagues and Will take into lts
fold, several players from the Three
and Iowa State Leagues. The season
for drafting with class "A" leagues, OF
which the Western Is one, begins Oct

There no longer remains any doubt
about the offer from the American AS
ISOLATION to Des Moines and Omaha to
ioin that circuit. There is also great
possibility that both these clubs Will
accept, and should they do so 1t would
mean a serious rupture In the Western
and probably the death of that league
Hunters say who have been after
chickens in both North and South Da-
kota that the game is rapidly growing
scarcer there. From South Shore, s. D..
comes the story of a dog trainer who
has had in his charge during the sum-
mer forty bird dogs which he has been
training. During the time they were
in his care he is reported to have par
ticipated in the killing Of 600 chickens.
Is there not some slight connection be-
tween this and the claimed decrease In
this species Of game bird?

With the memory of II to 0, the
score game when Iowa met Chicago the
last time four years ago. to cheer them
on, there promises to be an exodus Of
Iowa City students and people into Chi
cago for the university game Of Oc-
tober Is. Four years ago 1owa's fam
Gus eleven won by that score, and the
hope has been famed into blaze Of
desire that the victory might be re-
peated this year. The task looks i'm
possible for Iowa at the present time,
and as she was four years ago, are two
different teams.
