WESTERN LEAGUE STANDING.
PACED WONDERFUL MILE.
Audubon Boy EquaIed Star Pointers
Record of 1898

Readville, Mass, Sept. 23.-More
than 5000 enthusiastic followers of
harness racing saw Audubon Boy pace
one of the most wonderful miles ever
made under adverse conditions at the
Readville track. His time for the
mile was 1853 Il, eaualing the record
made by Star Pointer seven years ago.
Audubon Boy started to beat 2:00az

In making the trial for the record,

chestnut stallion. refused to use a

tween the wheels in the lead during
the mile, preferring to make the at
tempt in the same way that Star
f:59A at the Readville track seven
years ago. This is the present record
with the runner or pacemaker going
alongside. Dan Patch, in 1902, paced
mile in Readville in 1:59tz under
similar conditions, but as he went to
beat that time it was recorded as a
losing performance. Since then Dan
Patch has gained a record of 1856. but
this mark was made with a running
horse in the lead.
1t was a little after 4 o'clock when
Audubon Boy tried for the record. The
first quarter. was made in :29 and the
next in :2S u, making the time for the
half mile .:57 Il. When the time was
announced the crowd cheered. The
third quarter was reached in 1877 u
but before this it was seen that what
ever the time of the mile Audubon
Boy would have to make it entirely
unassisted, the pacemaker then being
100 yards in the rear. Gatcomb did
not make a stirring drive at the finish
and was 31A seconds coming to the

They tell q good and true story on
John J. McCloskey and Bill Joyce, the
we'll known old-time st. Louis ball
player and former New York man
Hger. McCloskey was managing
owner of the Houston, Tex, club in
1888. Joyce was playing third base
and captaining the team. In addi-
ton to managing and owning the
team McCloskey played right field.
He was not a good fielder. One day
which had won twelve straight games
looked like a loser.
Hold on" said Joyce-the en-
ploye OF McCloskey-to the pitcher
Then he turned and waved his hand
to McCloskey and said:
