Just how the quarrel leading up

Winner OF ReadviIle Event viii
Garry Off a $4,000
Purse.
BY w. E. ERLER

This week the scene of Grand Circuit
activities will be transferred to the
track of the New England Horse Breed
ers' Association at Readville, Mass,
and, weather permitting, this promises
to be the greatest week of horse racing
ever held under the auspices of this
enterprising association. That is. say
ing q great deal, for the New England
Breeders Association has displayed I'M
Usual enterprise ever since 1t became
q member of the big line.
Ever alert to advance the interests
of the American trotting horse, 1t has
promoted come of the greatest of races,
notably the $4,000 stallion race made
memorable because of the wonderful
contest between Cresceus and Charley
Herr.
The Massachusetts stake is not only
one OF the richest fixtures OF the turf
but one of the most coveted, and now
the association is ready to race off the
richest event ever promoted on the
trotting turf. TIE American Derby IS
a handicap for $4,000, limited to one
dash of a mile and a quarter, in which
the winner receives $4,000, a modest
fortune even In these days of million
aires. The New England Association
has had it's full share Of knocks from
Dame Fortune, in the way of interfer-
ence from overzealous reformers, yet
instead of lying down M closing the
Readville gates to the public, 1t has
~Iedoubled its efforts and has sought
to adapt itself to the conditions as they
are.
The permanent fixtures and the usual
purse events will provide q week of
racing that should command the at
tention of the entire harness world.
Added to these is the great handicap,
a magnificent experiment that, judging
from the advance sale of tickets, will be
A.. witnessed by trotting enthusiasts from
practically every State in the Union.
Whether this race will mean hat q
new system of racing will be added to
the old three in five is still an open
question.
On one point all agree, and that Is
that the association deserves the UNI
qualified support of all trotting horse
lovers.

Fogler, the third man to cross the line,

In that whole 5000 expected to see u
fellows win. We are not in the Detroit
class. Just think. Here is a team that
is leading all other teams in the Amer
lean League. We scored against them
and they only beat us four runs.
Certainly the fans had good reason TO
feel proud of Stallings's men.
Had IA Long Jaunt.
1t must not be forgotten that our
fellows were not in the best possible
condition. They We're a whole night
on a train, making the jump from
Buffalo to this city to play this game,
and I want to tell you that these train
soirees are not the best thing In the
world for any baseball team.
Players lose half of the night be-
cause they are in a strange bunk, and
the rafting of the trains and the gen.
eral excitement which attends long
rides at night put the men out of sorts.
But it is all in the game, and the Tigers
had another all-night rid last night
back to Rochester.
Play There Today.
The Tigers have three games TO win
in the Flower City. Let us stand by
them and root for them to take the
trio, and Their when they move OF to
Toronto they will easily stand the
Maple Leaves on their heads. 1t Is
commencing to look every day as If
we had that pennant sewed up and
put away for this season If this hap
pens, then the fans will forget all
about Ty Cobb and every other corn
husker who doesn't care a rap when
they disappoint loyal followers of the
game. 1 want to say right here that

A. A. U.SANCTIONS EVENING
STAR'SGREAT RELAY RACE

the weather of August will only con-
tinue into the month Of September bet
ter running weather could not be
wished for. The A. A. U. sanction has
been received, as the accompanying cut
will show, and for the benefit of the
amateurs of this city and county and
State, the rules of the A. A. u, which
are appended to this sanction, are here
with given.
1t must be distinctly understood by
all club captains that their men must
be registered in the A. A. U. ranks, so
that any club winning this event ana
the grand prizes which go to the VIC
tor will have no excuse after the race
is run
The A. A. u. is taking a keen inter-
est in this event. 1T has indorsed the
run because it recognizes that when
this course has been covered New Jer-
sey will uncover it's long distance run
ners. This in itself is an important
thing for athletics In this State. When
1t has been demonstrated that New
Jersey has men who can cut some
figure in long distance events, n
Will spring up local clubs that will be
able to carry the colors of their W
clubs INT not parade those of out-of-
town organizations. Local pride ought
to make every runner who can, get
out and face the starter on the day of
the race.
A perusal OF the rules Will not be
amiss for every club captain.
Any club desiring runners can adj
dress Michael Gordon, 1872 Seymour
street; Joe Turner, 20S Runyon street;
J. Collins, 303 New York avenue, and

called upon to make any excuses.
Cobb Played Saturday.
If Cobb was i'll, as alleged by Man
niger Jennings, then he certainly was
suddenly attacked by illness, for he
played against the Washingtons at the
CAPITAL last Saturday and got in two
ticks. Baseball fans are as much en-
titled to protection as baseball players
are. They paid their good money yes
terday, over 5000 of them, expecting 10
SEQ Iy Cobb perform. The rest OF the
Detroit Tigers are good ball players, but
Just now in the public eye is this Tel
low Cobb. If Ty is getting a swelled
top piece and will not perform when bis
team is handed a round sum OF good
money, then he ought to be taboed. He
is not one whit better than the rest OF
his team to come over to a city X
Newark and show the fans of this dis
trict what opportunities have been
given him by the national game to
make good. He owed 1t to his team
mates to cone here, and he owed IL
TO the Newarkers who paid their good
money. If It is ever advertised that
Cobb is coming to this city he VIII nave
to stand on the -Four Corners and let
the multitude see him before such an
outpouring of fans as the like of yes
terday will ever give UP their good
money again, and ] don't blame them
Cobb and his manager are to be blame.
Jennings said before h game yester-
day that he expected Cobb to be en-
hand, and that he would so into the
game in the fourth inning. He wasn't
sick. / guess he and his bride Were
down to Coney Island shooting the
chutes. and the fans here had to suffer.
MIR. Cobb had better get his hatband
stretched.
Fans Were Loyal, However.
But although the a were sorely
chargrined over Cobb not showing up,
they were loyal. 1t wasn't so much
Cobb's absence that made the fans sore
as was tho thought that il had been
advertised that he would be here.
Americans hate like the old Harry to
give up their money under false pre-
lenses. It has been said in different
styles that Americans like to be fooled.
They do, but they don't want to know
that they are being made chumps out
of. When the fans learned that this
fellow would not be here they turned
around and enjoyed the game Just the
same. They handed the local lairites q
glad hand when they took h field. Ii
