old man WEIGH had the last laugh. for In

j. w. Rogers the following season had
a tiff with Ed Corrigan, the result of his
employers criticism of some strong work
given the two-year-olds. Rogers took ex-
ception to it and told Corrigan that he was
going to quit his service.
At this unexpected outcome of their ar
gument, Corrigan apologized to Rogers
and asked him to reconsider his resolution
and remain with him. But Rogers had
made up his mind TO quit. and quit he did.
When he and Corrisan settled up their &C
counts, and Rogers received his money,
CorriSan reached down in his inside pocket
and pulled out a thousand-dollar bill, which
he handed to his retiring trainer as

Trainer Rogers himself told me this in

moderate strings would be enabled to pick
up purses at the less classy track. For
that reason, if for no other, the clash
would have good results.
There is another feature, however, that
will make the Yonkers meeting. if it is
held, desirable thing. More than two
thirds of metropolitan racegoers, men and
women who support the game day after
day, find themselves unable to afford the
Saratoga trip, in connection with the ex-
orhitant prices that are charged for living
expenses In the upstate village.
No good excuse has ever been advanced
for depriving these thousands of racing
enthusiasts of their favorite pastime in
what is universally considered the most
pleasant month of the year for outdoor
recreation. These regulars" as they are
called, are the backbone of the sport. Rain
or shine they are at the track, paying good
money for the privilege of seeing the races
The few that argue that Empire City
would fall because Of non-support will
probably have their eyes opened If the
contemplated meeting goes through.
AS for lack of horses, such an asser-
ton is in the nature Of joke. Horses
are being excluded from races every day
at Sheepshead Bay and elsewhere because
the tracks are not wide enough to accom-
modate oil that are entered, and more
races have been placed on local programs
this year than ever before.
There will not be more than one August
meeting at the Empire City track, how
ever. The jockey club, if it is forced to
accept the course as a regular part of the
metropolitan circuit, will assign dates next
year and in future years, so that there will
be no conflict. That Empire City will not
receive any of the plums is assured. When
Jamaica was jimmied into the circuit it
was. obliged to take early and late fall
dates, which are less desirable than in the
warmer months. Yonkers will probably be
placed ahead of Jamaica in the spring
allotments and behind that track in the
fall leaving to Aqueduct the doubtful honor
of opening and closing the season Giving
dates to Yonkers would mean the looping
off of three days apiece from the seven
other tracks, and that is what will occur
next wear

MARQUETTE LEAGUE NOTES.

Judging from their performances st. Mar
tin and Trinity seem to be the most formid-
able aspirants in the race for the pennant
this season.
Manager Dove has greatly strengthened
his team by signing Jimmy Kerr and RUDE
Clark.
Meister of st. Dominic twirled a fine game
against st. Vincent Wednesday, allowing
only six scattered hits, striking out eight
men and giving no passes to first base.
Had it not been for Heinrichs clever
stickwork in the game with St. Martin
Tuesday the Trinity aggregation would
have undoubtedly lost. With the score I to
in favor of st. Martin in the last half
Of the ninth inning, two out and a man on
second base, Heinrich hammered the ball
far into center field and it was not re-
turned to the diamond until he had circled
the bases, thus tying the score. He was
also credited with a triple and three sin
giles.
Jones of St. Dominic, who has been wal
Looping the sphere so hard of late, is very
popular with the fans at Olympic Park.
Leo Sullivan has improved wonderfully,
both in his fielding and his batting
Jack Spalding is covering lots of territory
In the intield, accepting many chances that
look impossible.
Duckey Mess made two hits and scored
three runs for Trinity in its game with St
Martin Tuesday.
Wood of st. Martin is not only catching
great ball. but is also clouting out hits
regularly.
Out of four times at the bat in Friday S
game with st. Martin, Mulnn of st. Domf-
mic got as many hits, yet failed to score.
Arbiter Mccain Is giving entire satisfac-
ton.
Groundkeeper Barber deserves much cred
1t for the gentlemanly manner In which
he handles the too enthusiastic spectators
at Olympic Park.
e. Sebastian, the diminutive left fielder OF
Trinity, has been released by Manager
Dove but as Sebastian Is sktllful with the
willow he should experience little difficulty
An signing with one Of the other teams.
Howard played & star game around short
In Fridays contest, taking care Of seven
Sss3sts nd two putoutS without slip-up.

PROPOSED MEETING AT
EMPIRE CITY TRACK

NEW YORK, July 13.-If race meeting
is given at the Empire City track during
August, and it appears very probable at the
present time that James Butler and his
associates will go ahead with preparations
for their first session. many Of the horse
men who had intended shipping to Saratoga
will change their plans and remain here,
taking part in the Yonkers races in prefer
ence to mourning the expense of the longer
tourney with only fair chance of winning
anything after they get there.
So many horses are In training nowadays
that only a small proportion can earn
brackets. 1t takes fairly smart performer
to get away with even a selling race on the
metropolitan circuit, but with the better
runners engaged at Saratoga owners Of

Nescos Defeat A. & N. Preps.

The National Electrical Supply Company's
team put 1t over the Army and Navy Prep.
School nine on the grounds of the latter at
Chevy Chase yesterday. Prof Swavely Of
the school team was put out of business
in the sixth inning, Taylor succeeding him.
Reichard of the Nescos was In the box and
was invncible, striking out nine men. Du-
gan's batting, Bealls outfield play for the
winners and the first base work of Taylor
for the preparatory school were the fea
lures. The score:

LOCAL HARNESS HORSES
AT BELMONT PARK

1908. In the hands OF a Geers or Nc
Henry he thinks him capable Of taking a
mark as low as that held by his famous
sire.
Il
Occasionally q stray horseman is seen on
the track at Brightwood these torrid days.
Ben Duckett of Prince George was last
week one Of the strays and put Trainer
Morrow up behind the well-known trotting
mare Clara Winks. After stepping her a
slow first half Morrow cut Clara loose, and
she came home in LII, lighting for her
head. After cooling her out. Morrow asked
the old mare the question again the last
half Of her mile, and she covered the dis
lance in Lie. This encouraged Duckett SO
much that he has entered Clara about
everywhere there is to be held a trotting
meeting In Maryland and Virginia.
w. w. Hutchinson has returned from
Newport News, where trotting meeting
has been going on for the past two weeks.
When asked about matters in that neck Of
the woods, Mr. Hutchinson becomes sud-
denly hard of hearing and talks on other
subjects. He has been engaged to start at
the Staunton and Harrisburg fairs next
month, and may possibly do service in
other parts of Virginia.
The Cumberland. Md, fair has been set
for October /. 2, and 4. The Cumberland
fair is established institution and very
popular. During the fair the merchants
of the town shut up shop, the farmers and
miners drop the pillow and pick, and for
fifty miles around men and women pour
Into Cumberland in special trains Like
the circus, the fair comes but once a year
and every one who can get there goes.
The fair association will hang up this year
$4,000 in purses for trotters and PAGERS;
hopples are not barred. nor are ear boots
for that matter, If the horse really needs
them. B. F. McCaully Of this city Will
handle the bell and give the word.
Eight days from today the grand circuit
opens at Detroit and will close Septem-
Der q at Columbus. Half a million OF
dollars has been hung up In purses and
stakes for trotters and PAGERS. The meet
ing at Detroit Will be the first opportunity
the public Interested in light harness rae
ing will have to get line on the horses
that will tour the circuit. The NJ. & NJ
is the classic event at Detroit, worth never
less than $40, 900, and some years $4,000,
and always enlists the best green trotters
of the season. A number Of hgh-class
horses are entered this year, among tho
lot Ceers' trotter Highball, which got Il
record of 2:06A at Libertyville, III last
week; Sonoma Girl, the fast California
bred trotter which was only two lengths
behind the gelding the race he won, Claty
Latis, which trialed in POSI- Sadie Fo@g
which raced better than 2.10 as Il three
year-old, and Marjorie, which raced better
than = 10 last year.
A number of high-class PAGERS will COM
pete in the Chamber of Commerce stakes
the same week, and it is quite possible that
GeerS Will have something up his sleeve
quite rs good as Direct Hal, Walter Direct
and Ardelle of previous years.

Shedd is putting up a fine game around
the third corner and is hitting the ball.

The Ninth Street boys certainly are hust-
ling for the leadership honors of the league.
Their defeat of the aggregation of the First
Christian Church Friday in very exciting
and interesting game left them only one
game behind the leaders. Errors caused
the runs made by the Ninth boys. and If
Gordon had been more steady there might
have been different story to tell. Stuckert
and Johnson made stops Of line drives
which were appreciated by the fans.

TEN TO THREE TOLD THE STORY
OF The INTERESTING OPEN.
ING GAME.

For four innings the nerves Of the
Fairmont bunch yesterday was as
steady as the political course Of Henry
Clay, but in the fifth It was evident
that the locals needed some nervine
as they showed unmistakable signs OF
collapse. The finish saw Butler 10
to Fairmont's 8.
The weather and the field were
both unpropltlous for the game.
Fans clad In winter attire watched
the game. The contest was long
drawn out and this helped to make
The spectators uncomfortable.
To-day the same teams will meas.
ure their skill. The lineup will likely
be the same as that Of yesterday ex.
eept schmesly viii pitch for the
local team and Sloan will do the
twirling for the Butler team.
