that he will drive foreign car in the Van

yesterday he said:

bought the car and will not buy 1t. I'M
derstand there is some objection from the
other contestants about my driving q car.
and so don't think would like to drive a
car under the circumstances"
Later in the evening Mr.. Vanderbilt sent
out the following formal letter:
ITO the Racing Board. American Automo-
bile Association:
"Gentlemen-Having been informed by a
member Of the board that certain Of the

Powell also twirled great ball. but his
support was ragged and the Yankees took
advantage of every misplay. The visitors
stole bases on O'Connor with impunity and
some dumb work by Hartzel and Powell

O'COnnor's wild throw for Keller when
the New York right fielder started for sec

her first tally. Willie opened the game

was safe. After Elberfeld flied out to Stone

wildly and Keeler went to third Chase then

DAN PATCH FAILS IN -
ATTEMPT AT RECORD

ALLENTOWN. Pa. September 20.-Per-
feet weather and the fact that Dan Patch,
the champion harness horse of the world,
was to attempt to lower the worlds half
mile track record here yesterday afternoon
brought out a record-breakng second days
attendance at the Allentown fair.
A bad break near the finish spoiled what
promised to be a record mile for Dan
Patch. Preceded by runner. with dust
shield. and with a running pacemaker at
his side. the famous PAGER reached the quar-
ter in 29A seconds. The half was covered
in 59A seconds. and the three quarters in
1.29.
In the homestretch Dan was pacing like
clockwork but suddenly broke and he
reached the wire in 2.05h. The heat to the
three-quarters Is a worlds record. Driver
Hershey says Dan hit the sulky wheel.
which caused him to lose his stride. 1t was
the first time in his history that Dan Patch
has ever made a bad break.

the short six-furlong course for 81 600 a
side. $500 offered by the Brooklyn Jockey
Club and the title Of Champion Splinter
Of America"
meeting between this pair was clinched
yesterday by Philip ]. Dwyer. the president
Of the club. The merits Of the horses have
been discussed freely by all turfmen for a
month past. While all have agreed that
they are unquestionably the two fastest
thoroughbreds in the country over the six
furlong course. no two have agreed which
is the better horse. Dwyer, one Of the
most practical racing men in the east, often
heard these arguments and believing that
race between Roseben and Lady Amelia
would revive interest in racing at the flag
end of the season. preached the subject to
Dave Johnson and Sydney Paget, the man
ayers of the respective horses. and both men
stated they were willing to enter a special
sweepstakes in which their horses could
meet.

CLEVELAND. Ohio. September 2O-The
Maps beat the Nationals 3 to 1 yesterday
In one of the fastest games of the season.
1t was big Bill Bernhard's great pitching
and the spectacular support he received
from Turner, Larry and Stovall that
enabled the Cleveland men to finish in
front Turner kept up his marvellous work
at short and cut Off many an apparently
safe drive to left and center. Hickman was
the only one of the visitors to hit the Maps
twirler with any effect. 1t was his lusty
double in the fifth that paved the way for
the Nationals only run The Cheerful One
was first up in this inning, and he drove the
ball far over Jacksons head for two bases
Anderson's long fly to Congalton put Hick-
man on third. and he walked home on a
passed bail that rolled to the grandstand.
With Jones and Cross out in the ninth,
Hick singled again. but Rossman picked up
the ball and while he was caressing 1t An
dersOn slipped over to third: then the crowd
told Larry's men to wake up. ana they evil
IDENTIFY did. for from then on they played
first-class ball.
Cleveland scored first. Stovall began the
third with a double to the left-field screen.
Hardy struck out Turner and Cross threw
out Larry. but Congalton popped q safe
game was won in the hfth. splendid play
by Turner on Stahfs drive retiring the side.
How we'll Hardy handled the ball may be
inferred from the fact that he caught two
of the speediest men on the Cleveland team
Turner and Jackson. mapping off first by
that peculiar throw of which he Is at once
the inventor and sole possessor.
The crowd made but one demonstration.
and that was against the Maps. With two
out in the second Anderson singled and on
JackSons careless return Of the ball took
second and went on to third while Rossman
stood holding the ball and looking at him,
but Terry threw out Stahl. so no runs re-
suited from Rossman's trance.
Rossman raped pretty triple to the
rght-feld bleachers and Bemis drew a pass
and stole. Warner made pretty catch Of
Bernhard's foul but Stovelrs drive was too
warm for Cross to handle and Rossman
came home. double steal by Bemis and
Stovall brought the little catcher over the
plate. Altizer making very poor return of

Columbia VS.. Immaculate.

The poorest exhibition in the District
championship series was put up by the
Foundry team against the Agriculture team
yesterday afternoon at American League
Park. when the Farmers won the con-
test by q score of IA to 4.
The winners had everything their own
way from start to finish. Sheckles, who
had been saved from the day before, could
not locate the plate. and then almost the
entire team back Of him went up in the
air. Sanders, for the Agriculture team
pitched a fine game. allowing the Sunday

he twirled. In the seventh inning Titus
went on the rubber to save Sanders for the
future games. and passed three batters
which with an error and a single gave them
their only runs

the best game for the winners although the
others contributed their share. Harry
Bryan. who was substituted in the box for
Sheckles in the fourth inning. pitched
fair game. Connors went on the keystone
sack in the fourth inning and played fine
game.
