Clarence Carman, the New Yorker,

as the big professional stars battle in
their match. Conditions are pretty
much the same in both. When the sea-
son opened it was all Lawrence. Three
weeks ago at the opening of the cham
pionships Carman surprised everybody
by winning the first title race. Some
people thought this an accident, but the
New Yorker came right back last week
and repeated. He has ten points and
Lawrence but four, If Carman takes
the next race he will have the cham
pionship practically clinched. Then
there will be a miss-and-out event with
the same men in and also an amateur
handicap. The fields are larger han at
any time of the season and the same IS
the rule for the professional events.
There are six races all told on the card
for Sunday, making it the banner meet
of the season so far.

ONE off next Sunday afternoon as the
feature event of the weekly race at the

match similar to the one held two
weeks ago. when Kramer beat Clarke
in w out of three heats, Willie Fem
will be Kramer's partner, While jos
Fogler will be paired with Clarke. The
race will be for a $500 purse. The other
event making a fine card for Sunday

There are only % points separating
Providence in second place and To-
ronto in fifth. A few games won or
lost make all the difference in the
world. That's where the fight will be.
Rochester seems to have the pennant
~"cihched," unless John Camel decides
that he will have his team lose games
in order to let the other teams get near.
You know John. There isn't much
danger of that. The most rabid critic
Of the Tigers can have nothing but
praise for Wolverton's charges. They
are playing hard and timely baseball,
Inc to break even in a series at Roch-
ester is going some. Their gait is now
fast, and there isn't a reason in the
world, barring an occasional lapse on
the part of the reliable pitchers, which
must happen sometimes. Why, the
Tigers from this out should win a ma
jority of their games. The long trip to
the homes of the other clubs is drawing
to n close. In a short time the team
will be at home to try to lower the COL
ors Of the other teams which are now
trying to lower their colors on foreign
soil. To win a majority of their games
at home is giving the team great lee
way. for they will be considered as not
having dom the best in the world If
they get a bare majority. The team
made up of old major leaguers who
knew all the hitting secrets certainly
made life miserable for Eastern League
pitchers in the early part Of the race,
and they are troublesome yet.
Baseball is a strange thing. In the
series OF games the Tigers and Hustlers
have played the locals have certainly
put themselves in a high class. 1t seems,
though, that weaker teams can always
give them a hard battle. That's the
riddle the Iron Man" and his manager
are now trying TO solve in order TO
keep the team in the place they belong,
in view of their victories over the lead
ing team in the Eastern league.

The racing track has been banked

at the highest speed attainable, and
new records are expected.
The principal event on the program
is a NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. continuous race,
which will be international in charac-

meeting with a single accident on the

reached here last night.
They started for Kansas City this
morning at $50. This will be the long

with ten and one-half hours as the run

Much dissatisfaction was expressed
because the committee allowed the
crew of one of the Pierce cars compet-

box, which was dragging on the ground,
and carry it into Oakley without pen
atty. No protest will be made until
the technical committee is consulted at

ran away from Mansfield in several of
the rounds when Harry was punching
him too hard to suit his liking. Martin
did his best work in the early part of
the third round, when he landed a num-

@7Tsso Most ersons tina

%TT%O MOST persons that series with Rochester
didn't mos an much more than a set of games be-
- tween the Tigers and the league leaders. 10
close students of the game, however. the series just
ended practically means that John Cancels braves will
win the pennant for 1909. At this writing it would APP
pear that Providence is the only team that can give the
Hustlers a brush for first honors, but even that seems
uncertain, From the way the Clandggers are going
much may be expected of them, bur the New York State
team goes steadily on winning a majority or making an
even break on all the games. John Camel seems to
have a winning combination of sod major leaguers
whose experience and batting ability is helping out a
good pitching staff at all times. The Tigers by the loss
of yesterdays game practically put themselves out Of
consideration for the pennant. They are right we'll down
the list, lowering around that 800 mark. From the way
the Bronco team and the others in the first division are
going it would seem that Rochester has a lead now that
is safe and sound.
The race in the Eastern League this year, If Buffalo,
Providence, Toronto and the Tigers play the game they
seems to be for a first division berth.
