CROWN POINT TRIALS.
strang Drives at Fearful Clp-West-
 ern Vanderbilt.

Crown Point Ind, June 15.-Candidates for honors in the two races of the West ern Vanderbilt June 1s-19, were out in force for practice today and Louis Strang established a new practice record Strang, in a 30-horsepowers Buick, accompanied by Christian D. Hagerty, newspaper man, started on the course at Main street and made the B miles in 21 minutes, a lit tie better than a mile d minute He made the second lap in "A minutes.
 Strang took some of the down grades at 80 miles and any irregularity in the roadbed were sufficient to send the car into the air more like an aeroplane than an automobile.
 For the first time since the trials be- gan the course was kept clear
 The two Apperson Jack Rabbits" driven by Lyttle and Seymour were out for the first time and Lyttle, despite ignorance of the course, scored lap in 25 minutes fiat
 Miller. driving Stoddard-Dayton, equalled Strang's record of "A minutes.
 Colonel Sanborn. commandant of the First regiment, Indiana National Guard, 900 men of which will guard the course during the races, made tour of in- spection today
 Work on the rough two miles of the east leg of the Crown foint-Lowell au- tomobile parkway began at dawn today with two steam rollers and a hundred men. The morning practice of drivers who will compete in the races next Fri day and Saturday was called off yester- day, but the machines of one camp dis regarded the order today. They did no damage however. Cement and tar are being applied to the road and tomorrow 1t will be oiled. With this stretch in shape 1t Is now more generally admitted that fast time will be possible. On the rolling descent from Cedar Lake to Low elI a distance of five miles, better than 30 miles an hour has been made. Prepara- tions to care for immense crowds on the days of the races continued today. The best houses in Crown Point have let their spare rooms as a matter of civic duty. There will not be surplus of accommo- dations 1t Is said, for Chicago will run special trains to the course every 20 min utes after midnight Thursday and Fri day, and others are scheduled from all the big cities of the central west. Plac- ing warning signs around the course was taken in hand today
 Stringing of telegraphic wires around the route will be completed tomorrow. Seventeen telegraphers on the racing days will occupy as many stations, each noti- flying the judges stand of any accident or changes in the position of the contend ing cars Two big bulletin boards front ing the official grandstand will give a record of the race to the spectators at that place. There will be two hospital stations one at Grown Point and the other at Lowell. Two automobile trucks will act as ambulances.

TWO WEEKS LONGER.
Latonia Racing Will Be Extended.
 Successful and Popular.

Cincinnati, June 15.-That the present spring meeting at Latonia track will be extended at least two weeks is the general belief among turfmen. The meeting, according to official pro- gramme would close on June 28, but it is said that while 1t has been very successful so far, it has netted the as sociation nothing over expenses and the management Is considering an exten- sion on that account.
 Badges issued yesterday for the sec ond half of the meet were distributed today and these are accompanied by coupons good until July 8. Still furf ther extensions are expected
 The case involving Latonia's racing privilege is still pending in the court of appeals at Frankfort, Ky, and it is said the association would have at least 30 days of grace after decision is handed down. regardless of which side wins in its controversy with the state racing commission

 The Barons won the pennant by the repeated and successful operation of the "squeeze" .uobile is threatening by it's precision in playing the Init and run"
 connie Mack, some years ago, won a pennant through the latter tactics.
 In the first inning of the first game Wheat was safe on Bowens error. He was sacrificed to second. Then the second out occurred. Thornton flied by Henline. It looked easy from here. But he dropped it. Wheat trotted home from second with the first, only and winning run.
 It was hard luck for Manuel. But for the team, 1t was not hard luck, but rotten playing.
 In the second game Wheat first up, was walked. SentelI hit as Wheat ran to second. Bowen, of course, ran to cover second. The ball went where Bowen would have been.

tell, and the ball went through the place where he generally plays.
 It was not our hard luck but the ex- cellent foresight and ability of the Gulls. That kind of playing wins pen nants.
 McGilvray tied the score on a neat bit of daring. He attempted to steal of third landed, and went home when Ludwig threw wildly.
 But the Barons were necessarily beaten in the second game, because they couldn't hit Hixon, and Fleharty was vulnerable.
 The Barons in the two games got six hits. Too few.
 But we have a chance to win to- day.
 And so far we have won more on the road than we have lost.
 So there Is no reason for serious complaint, although we are ducedly sorry we dropped two in a row. Had we split even, we would have be- grugged the Gulls nothing.
 Bittrolff will work today for Mo- bile, and he is the luckiest man to have nothing who ever stood in shoe leather Robinson will probably be Molesworth's selection.

We ran up against a snag yester- day afternoon and dropped two in a row.
 Both games were good ones, how ever. and while the defeats fall heavily on our hopes, we have no sane reason for grumbling.
 The first was lost on errors-whieh should not have occurred-and the oth- CT was lost after the game had gone into extra innings.
 So, as a whole, the Barons played well enough. But there was great opportunity staring them in the face. Had they won either of the games we would have moved up above the Sleepers of Montgomery.
 That Mobile team seems to have our goat.
 The Gulls just do manage to finish ahead of us, but they generally do finish there.
 The Barons and the Gulls have met nine times to date, and the Gulls have won seven victories.
 And Mobiles team is the surprise of the league.
 There is little that appears formida- ble in the makeup but those fellows win.
 The pitche are going nicely for one thing. For another, they are play ing the game together. There is evil dently no dessension in the ranks. They

They were successful from the start and in New Orleans headed the winning own CTS during two winter campaigns.

 VERY CLOSE GAME

New York, June 15.-The closest profess sional golf match seen in this country for years ended this evening at the Fox Hill links at Clifton, Staten Island, when Alex Smith, the former national champion, won from Isaac Maekie. eastern title holder, by single stroke at medal play, over 36 holes. By match play, too, Smith led by one hole. Maclde defeated as ne was at home, established a new prefes- sional record for the course of 66, low ering his own mark of ST. Smith was also credited with a 66 in the afternoon but as he did not hole out a couple of short butts the new mark can stand only In his rival s. name.
 The outcome was so close that the rel ative merits of the two players are as much In doubt as ever and another match is not unlikely.
