MINOR HEIR BEATEN
IN THREE STRAIGHT

COLUMBUS, Ohio, September 22.-Mi-
nor Heirs defeat in the Hotel Hartman
pacing stakes, worth 5000. was the note
worthy and rather unexpected main event
of the opening yesterday afternoon of the
Columbus grand circuit races, which will
continue for two weeks.
The Eel, from Tavistok, Ontario, won
the event in straight heats. while George
Gano twice slipped by the firing Minor
Heir into second position. Minor Heir
was a to 1 favorite originally, over the
entire field, but after the first heat The
Eel was the choice at the same odds.
The Eel was in front all the way in the
first heat, and won comfortably by two
lengths from George Gano, in 2O4k,
new record for the winner and the best
mile paced this year on the grand circuit.
In the second heat came the genuine
struggle between the two crack PAGERS.
They scored away with a mighty rush and
on even terms. Hanging right together.
they paced the first quarter in 30 seconds
fiat. and reached the nalf in SO. 1t took
a minute and half for them to get to
the three-quarters and the turn for home.
This terrific pace told on both. but most
on Minor Heir He dropped back and
The Eel staggered home in 2.O2l2 Going
away in the third and final heat the pace
was slower, the first half being done in
LOB. Dean called on Minor Heir coming
down the stretch and The Eel was given
great pursuit, but he won by a good
neck This final quarter was paced in 3O1a
seconds.
Judex, an outsider in the betting won
the Board of Trade pacing stake by max
ing rush in the final eighth of the third
heat. Uhlan was the choice in the 30
trot and landed MS race in straight heats,
getting new record of 2.O7A. Neither di-
vision of the . IL pace could be finished.
The $1,000 Hoster-Columbus stake for
trotters will be decided today

Ball Players Sorry Trick.

HANOVER, Pa, September d.
Subjected to fuSillade of balls
thrown by squad of base ball
players, William White, a negro.
who acted as the target in a hit
the-coon" show at the Hanover fair
last Friday. was injured so serious
ly that he was removed to the
York Hospital for treatment.
Although played unfairly. the ne
gro would not be downed in his
own game, and he took the pun
ishment cOura geousiy. Supplying
themselves with heavy balls. the
ball players visited the gallery with
the intention of putting the elusive
negro out of commission. SubSti-
tuting the heavy balls for the light
ones which are used by the show
man, the players were enabled to
throw straight and hard, and they
hit the head nearly every time.
After half a dozen pitchers had
thrown in rapid succession the ne
gro was pretty badly used up. and
he was compelled to retire soon
afterward with injuries which may
prove fatal.

FODDER FOR THE FANS.

Cree, the new outfelder of the High
landers, has been hitting the ball well
since he broke into fashionable company
Addie Joss is making heroic efforts to
land the Clevelands at the top of the
heap. He has been pitching mighty fine
ball for them Of late.
Jim Mcclure and Denny Sullivan with
team likely to land big money for the
world series is interesting.
The Boston Red SoX took more money
out of Cleveland for the last three games
than they picked up there all last sea-
son.
The Phillies have been the softest sort
Of picking for the New Yorks, but don't
forget that they did good deal toward
making the National League race by the
things they did to the Cubs and Pirates.
When Earl Moore joins the Phillies to-
day he will have been in three different
leaguest within two years. He was with
the Clevelands and New Yorks in the
American League last year, then with
Jersey City and now with the National
League.
The New York Americans are showing
that they can get along very well without
Chase. No player is Indispensable, and,
fine player as Chase was, he can be
spared by both the local club and the
American League without either being
any the worse.
Back in Pittsburg the fans have taken
on a new lease of life. There was a great
demonstration yesterday afternoon, when
the welcome news flashed into the Smoky
city. They were ready to consign Hans
and his helpers to the lower regions when
the Pirates dropped the double bill Fri
day.
For the first time in the history of the
American League Cleveland is at the top
of the procession two weeks from the
windup. 1t has been the usual custom
for this club to lead till the middle of the
season and then blow. This year Lajoie
is making the fight of his life and has
better than an even chance for the bunt-
ing.
Monte Cross must have done some good
fielding in the American Association this
year. for Jake Beckley says he has it on
Bush, the Indianapolis shortstop, pur-
chased by Detroit and considered one Of
the prize youngsters of that organization.
But, as Beckley says. Cross is going and
Bush is coming Beckley also observes
that Marquard was the best pitcher III
the American Association.
The Clevelands, who have won seven
straight games, defeated the New Yorks
yesterday and took the lead in the Ameri-
can League. They are two points ahead
of the Detroits, who were beaten on the
tape by the Bostons. II was the first
game the Bostons have won on the pres
ent western trip. but the Detroits are
playing anything but championship ball
just now. The Washingtons, who are
in a losing streak were shut out by st.
Louis and the White Sox BANKED the
Athletics.
Bridwell may be considered a permanent

JACK SHERIDAN ON
TROUBLES OF UMPIRES


From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
Probably the most taciturn umpire in
either of the big leagues is Jack Sheri-
dan. He never was addicted to the con-
versational habit since he first broke into
the game as an arbitrator
If he has anything to say as to why
he has done this or that on a ball field
he makes his report to headquarters, and
let's it go at that.
He rarely, or never, has any side state
ments TO make of the matter to the base
ball public through the medium of the
press.
His reserve. not only as an umpire, but
as man. Is natural 1t is generally
agreed that his sense of fairness is equal
to his taciturnity in ordinary life.
ments like other men, and in one of
these the writer found him yesterday
afternoon after time was called on the
Browns-Athletic game.
We asked him how ii felt to know
that 10000 people in the passion born
of the game had been thirsiinS for his
blood Monday when he called Mcintyre
safe at the plate?
Did you ever stop to think he re-
piled, that an umpire never by any
chance gets any applause. so that in the
course of time he is bound to accept the
groans and howlings of the crowd as
something only natural? Every umpire
must be roasted.
IAN base ball crowds are hysterical
When ball players themselves are unable
to bring themselves to a fair state of
mind after years of experience on the
diamond. how can any one reasonably
expect the spectators of the game to be
fair? l say 1t in all kindness and with
not the slightest idea of offending but
not one ball player out of twenty is
wholly and absolutely fair when in the
stress of battle on the diamond; nor, as
matter of fact. could this reasonably
be expected.
Il verify believe all crowds are hys-
terical. Racing crowds are a great deal
the same way. Two bulldog horses plunge
down TO the finishing line neck and neck
"One of them is the public favorite
upon which a vast amount of money has
been wagered. and of course the great
majority of folks in the stands are wild
TO see that one connect.
But in the very last jump, say, the

fixture at shortstop on the New York
team According 10 President Murphy of
the Chicago Nationals Bridwell some time
ago had fist fight with McGraw in the
clubhouse at the Polo Grounds and gave
his manager a good licking. If that Is
true then Bridwell has won McGraW's
admiration for himself MCGraW is that
kind Of a fellow. He will respect a man
who will fight him. but not one who will
cover before him. Some ball players
need that kind Of treatment, too, before
they get going right. Ty Cobb didn't
shine much until Catcher Schmidt and
others had thrashed him good and hard
several times. That put some fight into
~. and he has been a star performer
ever since.
