NEW ORLEANS RACES.
Trapper's Defeat Hard Blow to the
Talent.

The defeat of Trapper the winner of the
Preliminary Derby, in the third race, was a
hard blow to the talent at the New Orleans
track yesterday afternoon. The eastern
colt looked to hold his field safe, even
though he was giving away a lot of weight.
Nothing was considered good enough to
give him an argument and he was made an
odds-on choice. In the opening betting
Trapper was held at to TO- but at post
time he was backed to 8 to 5. Although
off well he failed to show the speed and
stamina that he displayed in the Prelimi-
nary Derby and it took his best effort to
finish third. Trapper was ridden out to
the limit. and his rider, H. Phillips, made
no mistakes. Those that accepted such
short odds on the Snyder colt were far from
being satisfied with the race that he ran
Kittfe Plat was returned the winner. At
ter getting off in the middle Of the bunch
Kittie Platt gradually worked her way
through and won in a gallop from Moorish
Damsel, one Of the extreme outsiders.
The mile handicap looked good for Au
Revoir and he was made an odds-on choice
He justified the confidence placed in him,
as he won in gollop from Careless.
The course was In pretty good shape In
fact for the first time within the past three
weeks it could be put down as good. Very
few of the boys swung to the outside rail
and there was some racing in the center Of
the course. The worst blow that the talent
received was in the opening event. when
Jockey Phillips was unseated from Paw
tucket, the heavily played favorite. when
the barrier was released. 1t was thought
at first Phillips had been injured. but the
lad escaped with a shaking up and was able
to ride out his engagements during the af-
ternoon. The race was won by Jake San
ders, the second choice. Shock the Talent,
one of the outsiders, was second.
De Reszke was the ripe thing in the third.
The eastern horse looked TO outclass his
field. and all the big spectators and the
eastern contingent went to him as though
the race was over. Jack Martin put UP one
of his perfect rides and rolled home an easy
winner with De Reszke, after Jollying Phil
lips with Jake Greenburg for part of the
journey. Gay Boy In the run home, man
aged to secure the place easily.
Willie Martins Swiftwing looked to be
the correct thing in the fifth and was made
the favorite, being backed from threes to 2
to 1. Much to the surprise of every one,
George Perry. the extreme outsider, came
home in front He had to do his best to
land the rich end of the purse by a head
on the post from Glendon, another outsider.
With riders reversed. Glendon would have
won easily. Swiftwing, the favorite. was
off poorly, and after getting through at the
head of the stretch could do no better than
finish fifth.
Autolight was the winner in the closing
event. He was the favorite and was heavi-
ly played. There was nothing to It but Au-
tolight when he reached the stretch, as he
came on and won with plenty to spare from

Billy Lush to Coach Yale.

A special from Cleveland says that the
officials of the Cleveland Base Ball Club are
in receipt of the information that Billy
Lush, the brilliant outfielder who played SO
well for the Napoleons last year, has been
engaged as coach for the Yale base ball
team. 1t is probable that Lush will begin
work with the Yale candidates early in the
year and will not leave them until April.
Lush will condition himself by playing with
the Yale men, and will not join Cleveland
until near the opening Of the championship
season.
Yale has not been coached by profess
sional ball player since 1894, when John
Clarkson, the once noted pitcher. a brother
of Walter Clarkson, the former Harvard
captain and pitcher, now with the New
York Americans, handled the New Haven
collegians. The base ball management at
Yale expects much from the coaching of
Lush.
