Noise Like a Ball Game.

Did you ever see a vacant lot that
didn't make a noise like baseball game
in the good old summer time? Did you
ever see a live kid who wouldn't rather
have a padded glove than pair of red
top boots? Did you ever hear of a cross

Look at it. They're smashing all rec
Ords this year. Little old 1907 is putting
il all over last year And what did they
do last yeaT2 The Official records show
that 100000 people attended the games
in the major league alone last year. Add
the number attending the minor league
games and you come close to the popula-
ton of the United States. To make
conservative estimate the attendance 2
the major league and the twenty odd
minor leagues was 100000. The prices
of admission in the minors are from >
to 80 cents and in the major from 80 cents
to 81. Taking a rough average this
makes $4,000 coo. That would run this

DIXIE STAKE SAD
COMMENTARY UPON
TIPSTERS' WISDOM
But Oraculum'S Victory
Was No Surprise to
Odom.

The winning of the famous Old Dixie
stake at Benning yesterday was a
farce Of the first water and a travesty
on the thrilling contest which made
the stake famous in tne palmy nays OF
the old Maryland Jockey Club.
When Oraculum, under whip, gall
Hoped home in front of tne one-to-four
favorite. Perseverance. the big crowd
was stunned, and 1t was some time be-
fore It could recover its breath TO set
up shout of derision. Yesterday morn
ing It looked as If Perseverance would be
the only starter, but at the last moment
George Odom added Oraculum, who
was eligible, simply, as the wise ones
said. TO get that second money.
The race is a matter of history. 1t
was a mere crawl for most of the way,
ending in mild sprint. in which Ora
culum was never let down. Perseverance
ran like a dog and made a sorry show
ing for a horse that had been especially
preferred for the race. and was touted
as a worIi-beater. The norsemen who
got out of the way Of this counterfeit
were kicking themselves last night.
1t is a sad commentary on the wis
dom Of the horse sharks that they never
tumbled to the situation. George Odom
was about the only one not deceived.
He said ne had been watching Perse-
Verance's work and was convinced that
Oraculum would have a royal chance
TO get the big end of the stake. and so
entered him at the last moment.
The race was run exactly 10 suit Ora
culum, but It is doubtful IL Perseverance
could have won, in any event. The
time, 3:l3. is the slOWest for the race
since II has been run at Benning.
Another disqualification came in the
fourth race when Glaucus. who finished
first. was set back and the race given
10 HiaClSO. q 20 to 1 shot. The dis
qualification caused much grumbling.
for Glaucus, on whom Notter had the
mount was heavily played The foul
was not apparent TO the general public.
The horses came down the stretch close
together and there was some humping
at the finish. but the horses seemed to
be equally i'm fault and II seemed a con-
siderable stretch of the rules TO take the
race away from GlauCus. The stewards
have been keenly alive to anything that

Joe Cans TO meet the winner Of the
Willie FttzgeraId-Amby McGarry battle
IN Baltimore tomorrow.
The Baltimore hght manager goes on
to explain that it has been years since
Cans had a real good fight IN the East
and there would be money in it for the
promoter IL the Eastern fans were given
a chance TO watch the champion IN
action. This may be about right. The
last time Cans appeared IN Baltimore
was en- September Is, 1895, when he went
fifteen rounds TO a draw with Nike Sui
Ivan. Cans at that time was entirely
out OF condition and also sick. In the
next year he knocked out the same Sui
Ivan in fifteen rounds in San Francisco
and got a decision over him in ten
rOunI= in Los Angeles.
WOu!i Like to See Cans.
In 1906 Cans had three amusing little
encounters IN tho East, going ten rounds
with Willie Lewis in New York. and
six rounds each with Harry Lewis and
JCcS Blackburn in Philadelphia. No de-
cision was given in any Of these bouts.

pull, playing for his subsequent match
