were warming up the spectators. who had
been informed that Jack Chesbro would
pitch for the New Workers. and foreseeing
possible defeat in Clarke Grifhth's decision
to work his star twirer. started to hiss the
HighlanderS.
Simultaneous with this the cry of 'Combi-
nation team," went up.
You couldn't win games if Connie Mack
did not help YOU" shouted a spectator as
Clarke Griffith passed the grand stand.
when Mike Powers assumed his position at
first base he was greeted with boots and de-
risive shouts, to which the Philadelphian
paid no attention. Shortly before the game
began a few rowdies in the stand back of
first base threw pop bottles at Powers, who
was facing the diamond. Three of the bot
ties just grazed Mikes head. The toughs
who hurled the bottles were yanked out of
the grounds.

Local race-sOers have always recognized

but even this advantage does not recon-

Last Week at Brighton.

The closing days of the Brighton Beach
meeting viii be marked by the decision Of
several hrst-class stakes. and with the ap-
preaching cessation OF racing for month
big crowds are likely to be feature Of the
seaside track. The most Important features
OF the getaway week will be the Test han
dicap on Thursday and the Brighton derby
on Saturday.
1t is probable that James r. Keene will
keep Sysonby here for the derby, which has
value of $15,0oo Among the other twenty
two eligibles to this stake there IL only one
Capt 8. S. Browns Agile-who can be
given a chance to defeat the fine of
Melton. Migraine had his chance in the
Iroquois and failed. That Fred Burlew does
rot intend to have his colt indulge in an
other fruitless chase after Sysonby is
shown by the fact that Migraine has been
shipped to Saratoga to prepare for his en-
gagements there. Tradition also sound
ly defeated by Sysonby, and can hardly be
considered seriously in connection with the
derby il the latter starts.
Agile, however, is a different proposition,
and some horsemen think ne has a fair
chance to wear Sysonby down IN race at
mile and half at equal weights. The
Sir Dixon--Alpena colt has unconquerable
courage and will run doggedly at any dis
tance. When Migraire was within two
lengths OF SysOnby at the stretch turn
In the Iroquois stakes the feeling was gen.
eral for a few seconds that Mr.. Keene' s
champion might stop II hard pressed. MI
graiue. however. was not equal TO the task
and Sysonbys gameness was not put to the
test.
There is strong presumption that Train
eT Rowe. knowing the poor class of horses
likely TO oppose Sysonby IN the Iroquois
stakes. did not have his champion wound
up" to his best racing notch.
II this was the reason why Migraine was
able TO keep within hailing distance. then
the derby favorite win be different horse.
Agile's defeat of Beldame in the Advance
stakes gives him license to respectful con-
sideration even against Sysonby. and Rowe

An example of the risk that people
will sometimes run. to save a min
ute or two. was illustrated, a few days
ago. by one of the local milkmen. The
man delivers a pint of milk at one of
the houses on Winthrop hill. and on
the morning in question, when he came
to make his call, he found a freight
train barring the way. The train
would have moved within a minute or
so. but the man did not know it. so he
decided to take time by the forelock
and crawl under the train. He pro-
Ceeded to act upon his decision, but
had just got under the cars. when the
train started. 1t was too late to turn
back. so after some pretty lively
scrambling. he managed to reach the
other side Of the track in safety. but
not a second too soon. for as he pulled
his legs from the rail, the wheels of
the car. under which he had crawled.
PASSED over the spot where his feet
had been. One gentleman who had
witnessed the foolhardy act from a
distance. thought surely that the mans
feet would be crushed under the car
wheels.
