At Buffalo.

Buffalo, N. T., August 9.-Ed Geers.
 the dean of Grand Circuit drivers, had
 another close call at Wentworth park this afternoon. The veteran was in the
 sullSy back of King Direct in the 2:04 pace, the feature of the day, when in the third
 heat at the head of the stretch King Di- rect, pacing strongly, struck his hoof
 through the wheel or Locanda's sulky.
 There was a tangle of horses, sullSies and drivers almost immediately swallowed up in cloud of dust. When the scene clear ed up, Geers was seen prostrate on the
 ground, Driver Snow was on his feet l making his way to the judges stand.
 Locanda had been safely caught and King
 Direct had started on wild runaway,
 dragging along a somewhat shattered
 sulky.
 Nathan Strauss also suffered in the ac-
 cident, falling over the first two who fell. King Direct was badly injured in
 his runaway and will probably not race again this year.
 Soon stable hands and others including a physician were at Geers side. 1t was found he had suffered bad cut on his leg and was stunned, but he speedily re- covered his breath and his first words were:
 Now, don't make hurrah of this thing and scare everybody to death for nothing" To show he was right Geers then came out and back of Hurley in the
 2:l1 trot which followed, won the decid- ing heat and was given tremendous ovation.
 Locanda had two heats in the 2:04 pace when the accident occurred, and as the judges found both drivers blameless and %l.1 l.Ar In, h1 Allerton stallion got the race. Locanda ,, was favorite at $50 to s10 on the field be- fore the first heat, and ruled favorite throughout.

after the first game. Miller wants to umpire next year and has already put in his application" concluded the auburn haired handler of the indicator. Ehret, by the way did not show up at the park until the first game was nearly over, and Miller, who took his place. did not give his teammates any the best of it.
 Aside from what Vaughan states Moore is out of his class in this league. He is fast shortstoper, but he cannot hit and cannot run bases.
 Montgomery played short in good style in the second game, but his bad leg showed him up when he had to cover second
 When the second game was called the score stood nothing to nothing. Gin ger Clark had been touched up for five bingles, while Mcfarland had allowed but two safetes.
 If Dessau will pay more attention to Matthews he will do better work on the slab.
 Sample, the Nashville catcher, will be able to catch the next time he is called upon. He was around town last night and did not seem any the worse for his lick on the cranium. q like to get roasted some times" said Harry Vaughan to some friends after the game. Why" said he, it carries me back to the time when I was young and played on the corner lots. It really does me good to hear myself knocked from the stand once in while

sLAcPILE NOTES

Guy Sample, the Nashville catcher, re- ceived painful but not serious injury in the seventh inning while receiving Bai- ley's southpaw shoots. Bailey had two strikes on Matthews and in his eagerness to catch what he evidently supposed would be the third strike Sample stepped too close to "Mattys" bat. 'Matty' swung hard at the sphere and his stick struck Sample just to the front of the left temple. tearing the flesh open to the skull. Sample bled profusely from the wound, but was not seriously hurt. Kellacky took his place behind the plate. Because of his failure to cover second base in the eighth inning, when Matthews threw to second to catch Niseman, Moore was taken out of the game by Manager Vaughan yesterday afternoon. A big howl was raised by a contingent or tans' but Vaughan was unquestionably right in the action he took. Keenan, right neid hitter, was at the bat and 1t was the short fielder's place to cover second on a throw, but when "Matty let the sphere go no one was there to receive It and the result was run for Nashville
 
 It was a dumb exhibition on Moores part and Manager Vaughan very properly called him to account for IT,
 'I regretted to have to take Moore out of the game said Vaughan last night
 as he was doing better work up to that time than he has in quite while, put this was far, from being his first offense along the same line He has repeatedly refused to cover the bag when 1t was his place to do so and his work IS what nut Shippecasse out of the business Those who have been regular attendants at the games this season will believe, bear me out in what l say. l am urea oi ouino ball playing and from now on Will cali every man down who fails to Keep awake and play the game as it ought to be play ed by men who get paid good salaries to play 1t.
 Moore has had his salary raised twice this season-once voluntarily by the local association and again on July when ne knew the team was in hole and needed his services badly. He came to me that morning and said he thought he ought to have as much money as any snortstop in the league, as he thought he was as good as any one in this league piayns the position At that time l was Tn oaa shape and we were short of players all around, so I acceded to Moores demand and again raised his salary. Since then he has not played the ball of which ne has shown himself to be capable. can afford to let man sulk or refuse to do bis work all the time, so called Moore down this afternoon"
