Jim stopped at a corner and looked
up and down the street wondering
how he might raise the price of that

POORLY TRAINED HORSES,

Slowly it is being brought to the
front that something must be done
with habitual bad starters among rum
ming horses at the post. There is not
any need to mention names and hurt
owners feelings, but there are several
horses at various prominent race tracks
which should be dealt with without
delay.
These go to the post once or twice a
week; each time the start is delayed
from two to ten minutes, owing to their
general unruliness, and this is abso-
lutely unfair to the rest of the well be-
haved competitors and to the public.
Why should any one man receive such
a tremendous lot of consideration at
the cost of Others? The one bright
point is that those receiving considera-
ton are not particularly prominent, and
therefore there is no apparent favor
itism in the matter.
AS a matter of justice, no animal
should receive undue consideration at
the post. Twoyear- olds naturally are
expected to be nervous and fractions,
but even there is a limit, and when
month after month-one may say year
after year-one sees two-year-olds and
other horses from certain prominent
stables sent to the barrier without a
scintilla of starting manners why
should they be further considered? If
it Is not worth trainers time to get

"FoxYr MERTEs.

Early in the season, in Cincinnati.
"Sahdow'' Mertes, of the New York Ma
tfona1s, created a sensation, and some OF
the impressionable persons of that burg
reached the conclusion that he was in
dulging in black art "Sandow" was
seen to rub his finger in the soil and
then apply the dirt to his cheeks. The

When some of them asked the fielder
what he was doing he put on a mys-
FERROUS look and said it was no ones
business.
AS a matter of fact, he was simply
taking advantage of the old Indian
scheme of rubbing soil on the cheek

the suns rays. Thus he neutralizes

EARLY CAREER OF
BANDMASTER ]. S. DUSS

Few people know that Bandmaster J.
s. Duss was born in Cincinnati.
Duss was born in Cincinnati in 1850,
and he is of German parentage. His
father and mother were both members
of the Economy society when they
were young, but having married, which
was against the rules, they left the set
Element, and his father entered the
army. On his fathers death his moth
er went back to Economy. and after
Duss' boyhood he entered the society

Duss has had a varied experience,
having been apprenticed to a tailor.

age. yet he managed the affairs of the
community il a businesslike way ana
managed to bring the society from q
chaotic condition to a sound business
basis and made of it one of the richest
communities in the country. Later the
society dwindled down to half a dozen
members, and Duss engineered huge
deal by which the entire town and q
railroad that the society owned were
sold for several millions OF dollars, and,
as Duss and his wife were almost half
the membership. he thus became the
possessor of something like $4,000, 600.
Duss always showed a talent for
music and played the cornet. saxo-
phone. clarinet and pipe organ. While
at Economy he organized band which
became very popular, but when he en-

The American League.

In the American league the race is
also interesting. Any one of five teams
has a chance to win out. Cleveland,
Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston and New
York are not so far separated as to
make the result in any way a fore
gone conclusion. Boston and New
York should finish strong. Cleveland,
if Lajoie's health does not fail again,
should capture first honors. The For
est City's pitchers are effective and
show far greater strength than they
exhibited year ago.
The St. Louis teams of both leagues
are a discredit to their city. 1t seems
strange that such an enthusiastic base
ball town should fail to produce better
PLAYING organizations.

The hot rivalry between the New

course extended to the fans of both
cities. In Pittsburg, whenever run

been registered against the Gothamites

mixed delight and derision go up from
the crowd. The same may be said Of
New York crowds. Recently, when the

by a score Of 8 to 1, the placing of the
final score on the board in New York
caused such an uproar that the game

Washinaton's Plight.

Washington's slump bids fair to be-
come historic. Jake Stahrs ball tossers
lacked staying qualities. They drop
ped from first to last position in the
race more quickly than any other team
in the history of the major leagues.
Stahl has borne the brunt of the Capt.
tai City's displeasure, but he is not to
blame. The fault lies with the whole
team, which is comparatively inexpe-
rie1ced. Considering some of his origi-
nal material, Stahl certainly worked
wonders with the team. The eX-col-
legian has learned much of the philoso-
ply of baseball, which teaches that
only winners are heroes. The under
dog has no more chance with the
fans than has a lily of the valley in an
