THIRD Matinee RACES
n. H. DRIVING CLUB
Splendid List Of Entries
Will All be Holly Con-
tested.

This afternoon the third tri-weekly
matinee races of the New Haven Driv-
ing club viii be held. Yesterdays rain
ought to make the track solid and con-
ducive to speedy driving.
Besides the regular races there will be
two novelty contests. One will be be-
tween burros, which Mr.. Forsyth Of
the Pond Lily company has loaned the
club The last race of the kind given
by the club brought down the bleachers
or rather the grandstand. Another
event which has never been seen here
before will be tried, This will be a
mile race in which the driver sending
his horse to the wire closest to three
minutes will carry off the ribbon. AS
many of the horses can step the mile
in 1925 and under there will be an OPP
portunity to see which driver is the
best judge of elapsed time.
Probably as large crowd as has ever
turned out to see races at the Elm City
track since the days Of the New Eng
land circuit will be present. There Is
Just as much pleasure to be derived
from watching races in which the priz-
es are ribbons as ones in which the
stakes are money.
AS Is the custom ribbons will be
awarded to the first, second and third
horses in each event, a blue rib
bon, a red ribbon and a yellow ribbon
TO. the three places respectively.

COPS beat WESTVILLES
IN sNAPPY GAME 10 TO2
Heavy Hitting by Police a
Feature in Almost Err
rorless Contest.

The police baseball team won an
other decisive victory yesterday after
noon at Westville when they defeated
the nine representing the Westville
postoffice clerks by the score of IS to 2.
Heavy hitting by all the members Of
the team figured principally in the
overwhelming score.
Despite the poor condition of the
ground only three errors were made,
these being awarded to the Westvilles
score as the copss ielded the ball
clearly. .Dermody in the. box for the
bluecoats had the opposing batsmen
at his mercy until the last inning when
he gave the Westville aggregation a
couple of hits as a present Cassidy
behind the bat caught everything that
came his way as did all the other mem
bers of the infield. The outtield when
ever they had chance to distinguish
themselves performed splendidly nearly
every member of the police nine is
credited with at least two hits, while
some other worthless did not stop at
this mark but doubled it.
On Monday afternoon the cops will
direct their attention again in the vici-
nifty Of Water street where they will
play team composed Of stars, going
under no name in particular but deter
mined to beat the cops, a feat which UP
to the present time no one has &C
complished.
The lineup Of the police team in yes
| terdays game follows:
Cassidy, c.; Dermody, p; Lauten-
bach, 1b.; Doherty, 2bi Lyons, 3D.;
Sullivan, S.; Roche, re-; Kerrigan, cf,i

throw by Golden, cutting off run at
the plate, and catches by Duffy after
long runs.
The second game was an evenly-con-
tested pitchers battle between Duff and
Hess, in which star catch by Cote
and a dazzling double play unassisted,
by soffel in the ninth robbed Spring
field of two chances to win out. Spring
field scored on the first of Yale's three

VETERANS FINE WORK
C. B. Bristol Breaks Nine
Out of Ten Birds at the
Monthly Event.

The second Hunter Arms company
shoot held at Schuetzen park by the
New Haven Gun club on Wednesday

splendid weather and a very enjoyable
time.
The trophy race, with the sliding
handicap went off very smoothly and
quickly as it was the clubs second ex-
perience. The scores of both trophy
events are given below to show the
standing of the contestants. There
was considerable interest and amuse-
ment in the use of the second barrel in
the trophy race, but the boys are get
ting "on to it," The team shoot also
caused considerable excitement and
good deal of good-natured nagging. Mr..
Hooker reused considerable interest by
bringing out a twenty guage, with
which he broke seven out Of ten birds,
shooting two drains of powder and
number nine shot.
Another feat of the afternoon and
perhaps the most interesting was the
shooting Of c. B. Bristol, who although
so years of age broke nine out OF ten
birds in competition.
The club are planning to have an
other big merchandise tournament for
Labor Day.
The competition shoot will be held
each month with the exception of Oc-
tober and November, until January of
next year when the man having the
highest scores will be awarded the
