Prospects Bright for Grand Circuit
Meet at Chenille Track.

It is announced on good authority that CleVe-
land will be In line this year with Grand Cir
cult meeting. which will follow the Blue Huooon
meeting at Detroit on July %, "a. Do 70 and q.
The effort to raise by popular subscription the
money needed to defray the expenses Of the
meeting has met with great success, and already
over $4,000 has been pledged.
Harry K Devereux one Of the most prom
inent officials of the Cleveland Driving Park
Company which owns the historic track at Glen
willie who suggested the guarantee fund plan
and has personally directed the raising of the
money. has received letters from numerous own
ers trainers and drivers promising to race at
Cleveland if meeting is held
The responses have come from such trainers as
E. F. Geers. Knap Mccarthy Lon Mcdonald.
w L. Snow, W. o. Foote. w. ]. Andrews. Alta
Mcdonald, J. B. Chandler. Bert Shank, George
Saunders. Thomas w. Murphy. Vance Nuckols'

H. H. James, Monroe Salisbury. James Brady,
w ]. Andrews. S. F. Fleming. Harry Benedict
Harry Stinson, Joe Gahagan, Ben Walker and
Jack Curry
From the first the response the part of
Cleveland hOrsemen and business men has been
prompt and generous. One cannot but admire
the gameness Of the officials of the Cleveland
Driving Park Company. They have been faced
with tough proposition for the last three years,
both locally and in the Ohio Legislature on ac-
count of the opposition to poOlselling, but have
fought hard to pull off a Grand Circuit meeting.
Mr.. Devereux. discussing the plan for meet
ing at Cleveland. recently said:
The report has gone abroad that there will be
no Grand Circuit meeting at Cleveland this year.
The association here has been assailed in every
way, but not quite ready to lie down yet.
Maybe we cannot have pOOlselling, but we are
going to try to have Grand Circuit meeting
Just the same. We at work now raising a
subscription fund through public spirited citi-
zens to cover the loss that must come with such
a meeting. We believe this support will be most
liberal and, depending only proper fund
thus guaranteed, we purpose to hold meeting
at which the amount offered the liberal cOndi-
tions that will prevail and the little that will be
asked of the horses and hOrsemen will make it
easy for every one to help hold the Cleveland
track in line.
This is good news for the people Of Cleveland
and for horsemen all over the country. 1t is ex-
pected that the full conditions of the meeting
will be announced in the future.

PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL.

, The champion Giants won four games and lost
two last week, and still in the lead for the
National League pennant, but not by as safe a
margin as a week ago. inasmuch Chicago
won five games and did not suffer defeat. The
Superbas are still bad last, winning only two
games out Of six. The Giants met two defeats
at the hands Of Boston, and while II is more
than likely that they will win at least two out Of
the three scheduled with Brooklyn this week.
they viii not begin the invasion of the West
with any too strong an advantage. Chicago is
playing good ball. and is more than likely to
press the Giants hard for the lead in the next
three weeks In the American League, the High
landers did better and improved their standing.
although the team is still in the second division
The fight is a close one. however, as only two
games separate New York from Washington
and Philadelphia, which are tied for the lead.
These teams won three and lost two games each
last week, and making a pretty fight for the
mastery. Washington is stronger this year than
last and the EIighlanders will be lucky to break
even on the series which begins to-day. The
Highlanders performed some acrobatic stunts
last week which caused the fans to wonder.
From high school TO championship baseball
overnight was their most remarkable feat. On
Monday the team made such a sorry showing
that its followers were in despair, but on the
two succeeding days hopes ran high for a pen
nant team. such a high quality Of baseball
has rarely. if ever, been seen on the local
grounds Orth, Laporte Chase and Delehanty
covered themselves with particular glory.
Opinions differed as to the justice of punish
ing two of the Giants for obJecting to the
umpire's rulings in game in Boston last week
Some maintained that Conway. the official, was
distinctly unfair, while others held that he could
not have ruled otherwise than he did Be that
as it may. and giving the benefit of the doubt tc
McGraw and his men, il seems unfortunate that
the Giants should be mixed up in controversies
with the umpire so often. McCraw has been
punished twice in two weeks for making useless
objections. An aggressive manager makes for
the success OF a team, but constant pickering
only brings discredit

THE OLYMPIC GAMES.

The victory of the American athletes in the
Olympic games at Athens Greece, was so de-
cisive that the supremacy Of this country on
track and field must go unquestioned Those
who worked so hard TO raise the money to send
a representative team abroad deserve much
credit, as do the who performed so well.
Under the handicap of change Of air and scene
and water, to say nothing Of the long Journey by
sea- the athletes who won fame for themselves
and points and honor for their country per-
formed we'll and deserve highest praise. The
success of the team was the more remarkable
in view OF the fact that the men of whom much
was expected could not take part could not
do themselves justice because of accidents or
illness. Mitchell, Parsons, Hillman. Valentine
and Cohen were considered sure point winners,
but there laurel wreaths for them
Among the many the honor roll, Paul Pill
grim, Martin J. Sheridan and Archie Hahn de-
serve particular mention as doing so much in
the way OF point getting.
