BEAT THE BooKrEs..
Only One Man Ever Known to Have Consistently worsted the Race
 Trnck sharps.
Track Sharps.

In the last twenty years there is only one man who is known to have been successful at beating ...the race-track game" to conspicuous degree. That was George E. Smith, better known as "Pittsburg Phil' He was a genius, and geniuses are rare. He paid for his success with his life. He got so that he was a monomaniac. He thought, talked, and had interest only in rac- ing. The passion consumed his vital ity. Nearly all the men who were prominent as big bettors when he was one of the leading figures on the turf have fallen by the wayside, says Rich ard Spillane in the New Broadway Magazine. Michael F. Dwyer whose wagers were colossal, went broke" suffered complete physical collapse and was a wreck for the last few years of his life. Riley Grammar, whose pyro- technic rise made him a national fifure, has been lucky enough of recent years to get occasional employment as bookmaker's clerk; Joe Yeager, who thought nothing of betting $5,OO0 to a race, lasted less than one season. Of the crop of plungers that followed this quartet not one is known to be ahead of the game. "Davy Johnson, who was the biggest bettor last year, has gone broke" more times than it is pleasant to recall, and he finished the season with very little money, despite the fact that in Roseben he has had one of the most remarkable horses the world has ever seen.
 The better thinks the bookmaker has the best end of it. He has; yet com paratively few of the bookmakers weather the financial storms incident to the game Of one hundred who weighed in at the beginning of last season, less than fifteen were doing business at the end of the racing year. One of the most experienced bookmak- CTS in America, Eddie" Burke, lost six bank rolls in one season. The bank roll, in the parlance of the ring is the capital back of the bookmaker.
 The public hears much of the win nings made by the bookmakers, but the losses are announced rarely. One of the things the public does not ap- preciate is that many of the bookmak- CTS are only managers or partners in the books" they make. Wall street men, saloonkeepers, business men and politicians frequently subscribe to the bankroll of bookmakers, and occasion- ally woman is the packer of a book maker.
 | The bettor also thinks that the horse owner has superior opportunities for beating the racing game. This time he is wrong. Few horse owners get rich. Most of them die poor. There are few owners who have so good | judgment in regard to the horses un- der their charge as have the really ob- servant men who make a business of betting. If anything, the opinion of the dispassionate fhandicapper" or student of form is more reliable. The majority of horseowners get financial indigestion from betting on their own horses.

BROOKLYN HANDICAP
 AT GRAVESEND TO-DAY Thousands Will Journey to Blue Ribbon Event for
 $2O,O ,OOO Purse.
CHICAGO vs. GIANTS
National League Leaders Begin Series of Battles
 Tomorrow.

If the sky is clear to-day many thousands of New Workers will journey to Gravesend to witness the running of the Brooklyn Handicap, the blue rib bon event of the American turf. Eff teen horses are announced as probable starters for the $2OOO purse, and the handicappers are at a loss to choose a fayorite from among a half dozen of these, so evenly are they matched. Ac- countant, the big money winner of last year, Tokalon, the southern marc which won the event last season, Go Between, Dandelion, Superman, Salyi- dere, Nealon and Arctic are among these. Superman, James R. Keene's Commando colt, last Thursday stepped over a mile and sixteenth at Belmont Park in 1;44 9-5, equalling the worlds record for that distance. In this race he carried 112 pounds. The Brooklyn handicap is at a mile and a quarter and in it superman is asked to pick up but 95 pounds Miller will ride him.
 Accountant, Go Between, Salvtdere and Dandelion, gre looked upon as the ones which win likely force superman to extend himself if he is to bring the rich prize to- the Keene stable for the fourth time Salvidere was wonder full performer last year and though tomorrow will be his first start of the present season, he doubtless will have numerous supporters among the bet tors. Salvldere Is asked to carry 107 pounds. The rejuyenated Buttling may be heard from. He has been trained on the track over which the race will be run and is thoroughly accustomed to it. Sewell, though speedy, Is believed to like a shorter course. Arctic can go the route, but he is slow beginner andin a field like that which will face the starter tomorrow getting away at the flash of the barrier means much.
 The probable starters with their jock eys and the weights they VIII carry follow:

The Chicago National League team will make its first appearance in New York this year to cross bats with the Giants. Both teams are playing woa- derful ball and the series of three games will no doubt be among the hardest fought contests of the season, New York needs to win but one more game to equal their record of 1905 of eighteen straight games. They hope to get this to-day from St Louis. The race for the pennant between New York and Chicago thus far Is a close one. New York has won twenty-four games and lost three, while Chicago has won twenty three games and lost four.
