The Keene Stables to Break All
Records This Season.
Winnings Already Over the
Sum of S346, 900.
MORE RACES TO RUN
Expects to Pass Enormous
Gains of Duke of Portland.
Is Depending ON The Ballot,
Colin, and Celt.

New York, Sept. est is confidently
expected that the Keene stables this
year will eclipse all turf records so far
as their winnings are concerned. Al
ready they have totaled $346,956 for the
season, and as the horses of the big
Wall street plunger are entered for
number of big stakes yet to be run
there seems but little doubt that the
record of $369,000 won by the Duke of
Portland in one year will be surpassed.
Mr.. Keene now has three horses in
his string that are looked to for the
desired result-Ballot, Colin and Celt.
The latter is a son of Commando and
has been out only twice, but his show
ing on both occasions has been so re-
markable that he is now looked upon
as nearly, if not quite, the equal of his
wonderful half brother Colin. Celt
went out after the latter in his first
race recently and finished second in a
good field, and that in the most i'm
preSsive manner.
He is a big, slashing colt, apparently
game as the best and with a phenom-
email burst of speed. Like Colin, he is
a bit slow and lazy, but seems to be
willing to do all that is asked of him,
and that is about all one can ask of
a race horse even If he is little more
than a baby.
Mr.. Keene would, in all probability,
have been by this time $4,000 nearer
been for the stupidity of Jockey Miller
when he rode Ballot in the Annual
Champion Stakes last week. Miller
literally choked the horse for two
miles, and had him at the end in such
a%condition that it was not possible for
him to win.
All who saw the race are confident
that Ballot would have won with half
a ride. Ballot has shown that he is
the absolute master of his half brother,
Electioneer, winner or last years Flu
turity, and people are beginning to ask
If he is not better even than his great
stable mate, Peter Pan, who has been
retired for the season. That Ballot is
a wonder no one doubts.

Philadelphia and Detroit Are
Tied for the Lead
In the Fight for the Pennant in
the American League.
CHICAGO COMING FAST
Athletics Lose on Tuesday
While DetrOit's Team Wins.
The Cleveland Crowd Allowed
New York Best End of 1t.

Philadelphia. Pa, Sept. 25.-When
Comiskey predicted that the Western
teams would cut the Athletics to
pieces on their final trip East, it ap-
pears that he was not very far wrong.
Already have the Philadelphians been
forced TO relinquish the margin by
which they led the American league
and to the White Sox belongs a major
share of the glory.
Realizing the importance of the Sc
ries, Connie Mack sent in the great
Rube WaddeH to hold down Chicago,
while Comiskey's braves presented big
Ed Walsh. Neither man was in his
best form and between them they
gave twenty-five hits. Walsh letting
the Athletics down with ten and win
ming his game. The two teams are
now tied with a percentage of 900
while the Sox, with 1922 are so close
that they may climb to the top when
Detroit and Philadelphia hook up for
a series September 27. % and 80. This
IS more than probable as the Chicago
ans play the Boston insists on these
days The American league race has
barely started as far as excitement is
concerned It looks as though the
team that can stand the awful strain
longest would take the rag and pos
sibly the worlds championship.

less than a fortnight hence. Coach
Ahearn feels confident of turning out a

last years team on the grounds and
some fine new material, the coach is
not worrying about his squad and the
kind of work it will put up during
the coming season. Those of the old
team who are sure of making the elev-

PIRATES ARE RUN GETTERs.
They Also Lead the National League
in Stolen Bases.

Washington, Sept. 25.-Manager
Fred Clarke, when the team was az
work at Hot Springs, made the state
ment to a few fans who were sitting
around the Eastman house that he
was of the opinion the players he had
under his charge were going to prove
a big surprise, not only to the bugs"
al home, but to all others around the
league circuit. His reason was that he
had a bunch of players who were go
ing to get runs, and this one prediction
has been proven beyond doubt. Look
at the record of the team today
leaders in the league as run getters.
The Pirates have scored 5S3 times in
13S games, exactly so more than the
Giants, SO more than the Cubs. and
147 more than Cincinnati. and all of
the teams have played the same num-
Der of games. No one gave ,Pittsburg
credit for having a lot of >sprinters
among the players who were faster
than others in teams who thought
they would have no trouble in beating
the Pirates for the pennant, but the
result of Clarke's judgment has been
rewarded and his team today is the
leading run getting team of the league.
Besides scoring more runs than any of
the others. the team leads the league
in stolen bases, another surprise.

THE WALK OF MR. WESTON.
1t VIII Only Be From Portland, Me.
to Chicago, Ill.

New York. Sept. 25.-Edward Pay
son Weston. the. 5old-time pedestrian,
has completed his arrangements for
his record breaking walk from Port
land, Maine. to Chicago. The start
will be made on,7Octobers 29, just 40
years to an hour from his start over
the same route in 1867.
The time table which MI. Weston
has laid out brings him into Chicago
in 26 walking days. He expects to
clip many hours from his record made
more than a generation ago. He was
then in his twenty-ninth year and
confesses that he knew very little
about caring for the feet under such a
strain. He purposes to make good his
contention that advancing years
should not bring about any such
weakening of the bodily powers as Is
generally observed
The route takes him through 10
states and he will visit the cities of
Boston, Providence, Troy, Utica, Ro-
chester, Syracuse. Buffalo. Toledo and
Cincinnati. He will be followed by an
automobile conveying his physician
valet and several newspaper men, VINO
will act as judges. On the same date
Henry Schmell will start from Chi
cago to walk to Portland.

WILL NOT PLAY AT JOPLIN.
*. U.-Missouri Football Game Prob
ably at Lawrence.

Lawrence, Kan, Sept. 25.-Because it
has been found that it will be impossl-
BILE to get railroad rates to Joplin from
Columbia and Lawrence, it has been
decided not to consider any longer the
possibility of playing the Kansas-M1s-
souri, Thanksgiving day game in Joplin.
The K. U. students and faculty have
been opposed to the Joplin plan and
when it was found that a suitable rail-
road rate could not be had, all thought
of playing the game at Joplin was
given up. Kansas City or Lawrence
will get the game. In all probability
Lawrence will be the place chosen.
The K. U. athletic board will meet
Thursday and will decide upon a place
to play. It is believed that Missouri
will agree to play here. Bill Miller.

A NOVEL TICKET TAKER.
Ev-Owner of Giants Watches the Gate
at the Polo Grounds.

New York, Sept. 25.-John B. Day
sits on camp chair watching the
gate every day the Giants play at the
Polo grounds.
To the fan of this generation Day
does not stand for more than would
any man similarly employed, but the
older followers Of the game know Day
as the man who made baseball in New
York. He was the first president of
the Giants.
Now he is in the twilight of life, his
fortune gone and is employed in
minor capacity by the club he created.
The Brotherhood fight broke John
B. Day, but he has no kick, and is just
as faithful in his devotion to baseball
as he was when he led the sport.
