NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.-Over the
beautiful course OF the Coney Island
Jockey club at Sheepshead Bay race
track, nine high-bred 2-year-olds, the
pick of the racing stables of the coun-
try, will struggle tomorrow for su-
premacy In the Futurity.
For speed and stamina the field mas
proved it's worth lin previous days, and
1t is not impossible that the victor may
turn out to be an animal equal in class
to Domino, Colin or Artful, winners or
the stake in bygone years.
Harry Payne Whitney leads the
nominators with three entries, While
James r. Keene and j. e. Madden each
have two. H. B. Duryea and August
men to send their animals to the bar
rier in quest of the rich purse and the
honor of winning the classic event.
Horsemen generally shake their
heads when they are asked to PICK the
winner. On past performances they
choose either Keene or Madden to take
the major portion of the stake, but as
to which particular animal the honor
will fall they are in doubt. Keene has
sent out Helmet and Maskette to carry
the white and blue polkadots and
readily admits has a great chance
with this pair. Maskette is a filly
with a marvellous burst Of speed and
is credited with being game to the
core.
Madden's Sir Martin and Fayette
several times have taken into camp the
best of the 2-year-olds in training only
however, to be beaten decisively by
Keene's Helmet at Saratoga. Madden
says his colts both are in fine fettle
and will give a good account OF them
selves.
Whitney will depend upon Perseus.

ner, Persimmon, as his chief color
bearer, but also will start Hillside and

It seems as though the much mooted
question about the hardest position
ought to be settled by these figures.
You can't dodge the fact that the hard
est position is the one where the most
errors are made.
These figures run very regular
through all the leagues.
The ball park at Pasadena will be
completed and ready for the opening of
the winter league series in the latter
part of October.
The field at Fiesta park surely is In
grand condition for the game tomorrow
afternoon between the McCormicks
and Salt Lake teams.
George Ely. the one-armed wonder
of the Salt Lake team, refused an offer
the other day to play on the Santa
Cruz club OF the outlaw league.

A flne-tooth campaign through the
1907 records of the National, American:
Southern, American association, West
ern, Eastern and Pacific Coast leagues
made last year discloses that out of
every 100 opportunities to handle the
ball perfectly the third baseman misses
8, the shortstop misses T. the second
baseman misses 5, the catcher misses
slightly more than 3 and the first base
man misses only Q. The pitcher was
left out of the reckoning because he
does not really figure as a fielder and
the outfielders because, of course, their
position are cinches compared with
those of the infielders and the catcher.
Now, 1t seems to stand to reason that
the position where the most errors are
made in proportion to the chances is
the hardest one to play.
1t is fair to suppose that the aver
age third baseman in the major and
class A leagues Is as good as the aver
age second baseman. And yet in the
leagues named, which include all those
above the B class, the third basemen
made 2032 errors last year out of
26,066 chances; while the second base
men made only 1901 out of 40,1S1
chances.
Here are the grand fielding averages
by positions in the major and class A
loo crffaC.
