Good horses have frequently lot to

The courses these races were run

M|LLERS WON OUT
Winnipeg Maroons Defeated
81 After Splendid Elk
hibition.

Winnipeg, Man., Sept. 22-Minne-
apolis 2. Winnipeg L.
Although the Maroons failed to win
against Minneapolis in the opening
game of the series yesterday, the To-
cal lads put up rafting exhibition
of ball against the strong American
association team, and the fans We're
more than pleased with the showing
made. Few anticipated the Maroons
would have chance with the Millers,
yet for six innings the Lambkins more
than held their own, and although they
finally lost out it was only by the
narrowest of margins.
AS announced, the game was played
at the old battle ground out at River
park, the Happyland yard being un-
available because of the Moscow dis
play. The grounds were in pretty fair
shape but the stand and bleachers did
surely look delapidated after the spa
cious appointments at the new park
While the crowd out was fairly
good one, it was not nearly so large
as the quality of ball merited, but a
decided improvement in this respect
will no doubt be noticed today.

condemned for mistakes where he
has simply been unlucky, or the
horse he was on was not as good as
1t was supposed to he.
A jockey. in my opinion, ought to
be always in as good condition as his
horse. He must lead regular life
to keep his nerves steady; II he has
taken any liberties with himself he
soon becomes untitled for his work.
1t may surprise some people to know
that horse not only quickly recog-
nizes a change of riders. but change
in the rider himself BY that l mean
that If the rider feels dull and list
less instead of active and alert, his
spirit communicates itself to his
mount. 1t is notorious how many
horses will go better for one rider
than for another. though both may be
equally good jockeys, and this | be-
lieve is due to the fact that ones
temperament suits the horse better
than that of the other.
Rain interfered yesterday in the
races at the Park Rapids fair meet
ing, and but two heats were finished

Little Boy, owned by L. H. Patten,
