TRACK AND PADDOCK NOTES.

When Workman and Clements hooked
UP last Wednesday the latter gave the
former three pounds and finished second
by half length. Yesterday there was
difference of eleven pounds in favor OF
Clements and a good race was in prospect
only to be killed off by the poor start.
notwithstanding that Dion Kerr had
quite a hard tumble last Tuesday, he was
out yesterday as clipper as ever and rode
a splendid race on Essex. Had he not
paid too much attention to Percentage
and gone after Touchwood earlier he
might have scored a victory, as the lat

most first-class condition.
Jack McGinnis, the horseman. came over
from New York Friday. night and got
bad start by playing Clements to win In
the first race for couple of hundred. He
got It all back and some TO spare when
Taboo finished first in the fifth race
Charles Heney, the plunger. played
Right and True and Clements each for
couple hundred apiece. He couldn't see
Workman with telescope.
The horses in the first race were ridden
by Jockeys who had not been astride more
than two winners. They were all voted a
poor lot, but from the way little Rowan
handled himself on Right and True tt is
a foregone conclusion that his work will
be closely watched hereafter
1t was a fortunate thing for the book
makers that an unknown jockey. McFad-
den was astride Taboo. Many of the wise
pettors had liking for the Alftongreen
stable filly. but were afraid to take
chances with the jock.

yet been sworn into Office. was a visitor
at the track and an interested spectator
of the sport.

CHURCH LEAGUE TEAMS.
Coming Season Expected to Be the
Most Successful.

The Church Base Ball League expects
the season Of 1908 to be the most success
full in it's career as base ball organiza-
ton, as the promoters are finishing up a
program Of details that will make their
games very interesting during the APP
preaching season.
The eligibility rule was adopted at a re-
cent meeting by which player is eligible
provided he attends two sessions of the
Sunday school prior to taking part in any
championship game. and after playing in
one game. to maintain that eligibility. he
must attend two sessions of the Sunday
school during each month. This strong
rule will do away with the many charges
made last season in regard to the non
attendance of players at the school on
whose team they were playing.
The new grounds. situated in the square
bounded by 9th and 9th streets and d and
e streets northeast. known to the base
ball public as the old Active Park. are
centrally located and more easily accessi-
BILE by street cars than the ones formerly
used by the league. They have been put
in first-cl5ss shape. all the rubbish having
been renDved and seats erected for the
comfort Of the fans who will patronize
the games.

he declares that the league must pay
