Should he be the owner Of the club

will see a much-improved article of

More Jumping Farces.

The, steeplechase yesterday. on its
general result. was farcicaI affair and
demonstrated clearly the fallacy Of bet
ting on such uncertain propositions In
cidentally, it afforded the spectators a
chance 20 see another fall in which
jockey narrowly escaped being killed.
Jimmy Mara, who has had his collar
bone broken twice this year. had the
mount on J. w Colts Maiden This
horse and Good and Plenty ran at
breakneck pace through the last mile.
They approached the final jump at
such n terrific gait that many onlool1ers
wanted TO bet that there would be a
spill. At this particular obstacle poor
Green met his fate, and when Maiden
turned a somersault there were cries OF
'Afara's killed."
Mara fell on his head. His arms were
tangled up In the reins and Maiden,
scrambling 10 his feet. started TO drag
the jockey. who was struggling 10 lis
knees. Fortunately Mara succeeded IN
getting his hands free. but he was still
IN peril. as Mystic Shriner was bearing
down OF the jump, Mara being directly
in his cath. With the aid OF a police
man Mara got out of harms way in the
nick Of time. He was severely shaken
up.

SPORTING COMMENT.

Since their return from the West the
| New York Americans have had a rarely
good chance 10 move into second place,
! but failed TO come TO time. First came
| the series OF four games with the Bos-
tons. in which the locals lost three out
Of four: then the siege in which Boston
| lost six straight. But in the latter pc
Rod the New YOrxs were also losing. so
a bright opportunity slipped by. More
| steadiness in fielding would have pre-
vented the recent setback Ii was not
! that there were many errors but errors
that were exceptionally costly. The
team is due for a brace. and has the
strength TO make the brace.
The player-manager is very much to
the front this season. In the National
League three OF the four nrst-division
teams are steered by player
| McGraw. Kelley. and Clarke. McGraw
is not in the game itself. but is on the
line In uniform all the time and is really
player-manage ger. Selee Is the only
benCh-manager in the first flight. Col
| Inns. Jones and Griffith, the first three
in the American League: are all player
/ berger. and HanlOn. bench managers
are all in the second division.
One OF the things that handicaps Man
ager Selee, Of the Chicago Nationals. IS
the lack of a first-class utility out
fielder: and that's where the New York
Nationals are strong
So far. no triple play has been made
this season on either of the New York
grounds For that matter. triple plays
are scarcer than usual all along the
big league line.
Cleveland has played 10 81. sec people
in six days, outdrawing every club.
It's easy to see why Lajoie leads the
batters. In ten times in the double
header at Boston. he made six hits, two
