LILLIAN R.C0ULD N0T START
AGAINST GEERS' HIGHBALL
Latter Captures the McDowell Stakes for 2:09 Trotters
 With Ease.

Lexington, Ky, Oct. 16.-Highball annexed to his list of winnings for this year the famous Mcdowell stakes for 2:o9 trotters in easy fashion to- day. Much disappointment was ex- perienced because Lillian R. did not start against Highball, as it is gen. erally conceded that she is the only horse here in Highball's class, except Sonoma Girl and Wilkes Heart, which were not eligible to race.
 Highball was driven by Ed Geers. The Mcdowell stake is the fourth stake that Geers has won during the meeting. Tuna was distance in the first heat, leaving Baraja, Emboy and Athasham to fight it out with High ball for the big end of the money. Highball, however, had no trouble in winning in straight heats, and within e-quarter of a second of the track record.
 The Lexington stake, for two-year. olds, was won by Benvolo, after Heller Hale had trotted the first heat of tht race in 2:13 1-4, the fastest mile evel trotted in race by a Ally. Lady Maud c. and Hedgewood Boy sister and brother, won the third rae, 1 (2:10 pace) and the fourth race (2:0' paoe) in the most exciting finishes O the meeting.

To Charlie Johnson belongs the hon. ors in the State Bowling league for this week. His high total of 651 be- sides giving him that particular rec ord also pushed him up twelve places. He now peacefully recllnes in third place with an average of 1S4.7 Boards ley and Lewis of Waterbury have at present higher percentage than the local roller, but they have bowled less games and then real form or cards are not yet shown.
 Douglas of Bridgeport had @ bad week and stepped quietly down to sev- enth place. Redfeld of Hartford was another of those players who fell down the incline this week Beecher of New Haven, the Elm City's best roller next to Johnson, remained in about the same position as after last weeks bat | tie.
 New Haven captured the high game honors of the league with a score of 1O4O, taking the honor from Bridgeport. The Park City team still holds down the record of total games.
