THEIR DAY At NEWMARKET.

Newmarket, May 12.-The Wednesday
handicap Of $50 sovereigns for 3-year-
olds, was won here by l.. Winan's Sir
Martin, today. Dusky Slave was Sec
ond and Houghton third. Nine horses
ran. This was the first appearance of
Sir Martin, an American candidate for
the Derby, at a race in this country
and the outcome was watched with
great interest, Dusky Slave was the
favorite in the betting at 2 to l. The
price against Sir Martin was to I.
The Chesterford Maiden plate of 200
sovereigrs. for 3-year-olds only, dis
lance six furlongs, was won py H. p.
Whitney's Sixty II. Crossways was
second and Lawn Sand third. Thir-
teen horses ran. The American horse,
however. was admirably ridden by
'Skeets' Martin and came in an easy
winner by length and half. This
result will shorten Sir Martins price
for the Derby, for which event he has
been finding plenty of support. Odds
of 10 to l We're offered at the clubs
last night. King Edwards Minoru is
a firm favorite for the Derby at five
to two.

eigns each with 200 sovereigns added,
for 3-years-old and upwards, distance
five furlongs, was won by Malwood
H. P. Whitney's Bobbin ii was second

Sir Martins victory in the Wednes-
day handicap sent him up rapidly in
the Derby betting and his price short
ened to five to one.

mile and a half, was won by j.
r. Keen's Esperanto. Clarence was
second, and Sweet Duchess, filly, third.

WINTER BALL BLAMED
FOR Big BATTING SLuMpS.

Detroit, Mich, May 12.-The big bat
ting slumps of Ty Cobb and Jim Dele
hanty are ascribed to winter base
ball by local critics. Cobb, who hit for
.324 last year, hasn't hit for go SO far.
Delehanty swatted for .317 last season
and Del has fallen below the $50 mark
also.
Roth Cobb and Delehanty played
winter baseball. Delehanty went to
Japan with the globe trotters and
Cobb played ball in and about New
Orleans large part of the winter sea-
son. The local fans say that baseball

stale.

JlGGS DONAHUE is ON
THE OUTS WITH COMlSKEY.

Chicago, May 12.-Jiggs Donohue and
Comiskey of the White Sox have been
in each others bad graces ever since
Jiggs and Fielder Jones had an argu-
ment last year. Comiskey stood by
Manager Jones and is standing by the
principles laid down by Jones this
year. Donohue is being kept out Of the
game and is to be traded just as soon
as Comiskey can get good trade
Comiskey wants pitchers most of all,
and still has hopes of trading Jiggs to
Washington for Pitcher Burns. The
fact that Unglaub is making good on
first for the Senators makes Comiskey's
chances Of landing Burns look slim,

NEW S0uTHpAW TWlRLERs
ADDED TO B0WD0IN SQUAD.

Brunswick, Me-, May 12.-(SpeciaD.-
At last the much wished for left-hand-
ed pitcher has turned up in the person
Of Hastings II. A few weeks ago
Coach Rawson discovered that Has
tings could pitch, although up to that
time the latter had not been out for
constant practice to make the team.
Since this time Hastings has been kept
hard at work and according to the
statement of Coach RaWson has devel-
oped into a formidable pitcher. He will
be taken on the trip to Medford tomor-
row to be tried out against Tufts when
Bowdoin will go up against that insti
tution'S strong team for the second
time this season. The other game was
played on Whittier field in Brunswick,
when, by costly errors, Bowdoin lost
to Tufts. 1t is the intention of Coach
RaWsOn and every man on the team to
make up for this defeat with an over
whelming victory. on Tufts own
grounds.
Twelve men will be taken on the trip
by Manager Webster. The lineup will
be the same as at the last game with
the exception that Hobbs 10, Means IL,
and Hastings II, will all be taken for
pitchers The lineup will be as follows:
Wilson 10 C, Hobbs 10, Means ~, and
Hastings IL p, Clifford Id, Manter 'O9
2b, captain. Harris 'O9 IS. Bower 'O9 3b.
Wandtke 10 If. Lawliss II CT, McDade
'09 RI. burlington II, will be taken as
substitute.
Brunswick, Me, May 12.-Coach
Deacon RawScn of the Bowdoin Col
lege baseball team sprung a surprise
today when he announced the makeup
OF the team which will play Tufts at
Medford Thursday In addition to the
usual players he had added new
conner to the list of pitchers. Hastings
IL, Fryeburg Academy boy. Hastings
is left-hander and is showing up in
remarkably fine shape. Today Coach
Rawson cannot definitely say whether
he will use Hastings in the game with
weather conditions are favorable.
Hastings is one of two new men who
have been added to the training table
squad this week. the other being Wood
cock ~, another left-handed pitcher.
Both of these men have been discov-
cred as the result Of the games in the
Bowdoin Inter-fraternity League.
At present Hastings seems to be
showing up the better of the two, but
Bob" Toothaker the old Brunswick
player, who has seen Woodcock pitch
says that he is certainly a wonder and
that he will be heard from before the
end of the season. Coach Rawson has
told Woodcock that he will be used in
either the next Maine game or the
game with Colby and unless the right
hand twirlers improve a great deal
Hastings will be used in the game that
Woodcodk does not pitch.
