in accordance with the rules of the Amer
lean Trottng Association governing per-
formances against time, and that the time
of 1.59%, then and there claimed to have
been made by said horse. is neither a rec
ord nor bar under the said rules.
1t Is therefore ordered and determined
that the application to establish such rec
ord be. and the same Is hereby, denied.
The sworn evidence presented to the
board. covering all the circumstances sur
rounding the affair. shows irregularity and
indicates that gross fraud was attempted
not only upon this association, but against
the entire public. and under the rules Of
this association 1t becomes our duty to nu,-
lify the effects thereof SO far as possible.
TT Is therefore further ordered that the

Fully $500 spectators witnessed the game
yesterday afternoon between the Gunton

proved to be the best team, winning by a
score of ii to g. The Sixth lost by their
poor fielding. having nine errors chalked up
against them.

and did excellent work until the sixth in
ming. when he was relieved by s. Seay

having eight strikeouts, but his support
was bad.
The Guntons started from the first to
score. They made three hits and one run
in the first Two more crossed the plate
in the second and four in the third. Dur
ing the first three innings the Sixth could
get but two hits and no scores. In the
fourth they secured four hits, which netted
them two runs. Three more taliies were
scored by them In the sixth, and one in
the seventh. In the second half of the
seventh Gunton found Gordon for five hits
and as many runs.

LET GO EXTRA MEN
American League Clubs Should Help
Washington.

One American League matter that Is at
tracing considerable attention and that
seems to be fair cause for criticism. is the
way in which the Washington club is being
handled. Nobody who has the interest of
the sport at heart will advocate syndicate
ball. but when a club is In the position
that the senatorial outfit Is, the good of the
league and the interests of other clubs, de-
mand that something shall be done by the
organization to aid the team that looks to
be down and out right at the start. The
idea of a club losing the first nine games
straight, and apparently being ignored by
the league government, is ridiculous 1t is
not necessary that present conditions should
continue. for there are at least dozen men
in the American League whom Washington
could use handily, and who have little
chance to get permanent berths with the
teams to which they are at present ac-
credited. Chicago. for instance, has TWEEN
ty-four men on its pay roll, and the idlers
include such good infielders as Isbell and
Dundon, promising outfielders like Huels-
man and Denver Jones, as well as a num-
Der of pitchers, Comiskey having ten I'M
der contract. AT the present time, of
course. few managers care to dispose of
any of the twiIlers, because of the lack of
favorable opportunity to try out the talent,
and to determine which men shall be kept
and which disposed of. AS matter Of fact
Washington does not seem to be in great
need Of good pitching material as the box
artists have been doing their part, and Just
a little more Most of the Washington
games have been well pitched, but there
has been no hitting behind 1t. The eastern
clubs, Boston especially. have been having
a merry time with the poor old Senator's

good talent will be found for Washington,

Western scorer might easily account for
the similarity without proving anything.
The dispute hinged On the question of
whether Smith, r member of the Western
team, scored q run in the third inning. The
record kept by the Business man showed
Smith left On third base In that inning and
this opinion was confirmed by Business stu
dents who claim to have closely followed

troversy over the final score the contest

The fielding of both sides was especially no

the honors are said to have gone to Lynch

cents. with the girls very much in evidence,
