Driver played in the back field with

there would certainly have been men

He was most pugnacious and heady
player. and in the games in Richmond

Driver has finished his work at
William and Mary. and 1t was thought
that he would matriculate at the Uni

ever to go to North Carolina, and has
put in an application for matriculation
In that university.

DIM GLORY OF RACES
Brooklyn Handicap Won Easily by Fitzherbert
in Presence Of Small Crowd---L Likelihood of a
Handicap Next Year Very Small

Gravesend Race Track, New York.
May 31.--The Brooklyn Handicap, Its
glory dimmed by recent antibettins
legislation, its value as a stake snrunk
to $4,000, as compared with S19.750 two
years ago, was won to-day in easy
fashion by Sam Htldreth's Fitzherbert

variously estimated at between 5000

ed second, a length behind the winner
and head in front of Prince Inpe-
rial, the entry OF the Woodlawn stable.
Coming as it did after the triple
holiday coincident with Decoration
Day, to-day's opening of the Brooklyn
Jockey Clubs meeting was not as aus
picious as Its promoters and familia-s
had hoped. Raw, unreasonable wealth
or further helped to keep down the at
tendance, but the chief determining
factor was the stringent laws recently
passed at Albany which gave race
goers a feeling that the likelihood of
another Brooklyn Handicap next year
is very small.
The race, which had frequently
brought together in the past 10000
and $4,000 spectators and the pick OF
the thoroughbreds Of America, was
contested to-day by a bare half-dozen
starters. Fitzherbert, at the short
odds OF to 5. easily outclassed tho
field, and the race was his from the
start. Under the confident guidance
OF Jockey Dugan, loaned by August
Belmont for tho occasion, tho cham
pion -year-old took the lead from
the moment the barrier was shot up
and was never in danger during the
entire mile and a quarter Running
with easy stride. he Won as he pleas
ed, at times leading the field by three
full lengths.

Some Baseball Talk
ByHALF NELSON.
By,HALF NELSON.

Because Richmond lost game and
showed up badly In another game by
rank base running. the word has gone
forth that the players are not being
properly disciplined by Tommy Mes
slit and have got slightly beyond him.
This word says further that the play
ers are playing for individual record,
instead OF working as team. The
word r1ay be true, but 1t will be re-
membered the bonebead base rum
ming was a feature Of several games
before MeWitt took charge of the
team, and most just criticism came to
meet 1t.
1t is undoubtedly true that there has
been base running OF the school boy
type among the Colts, and opportuni-
ties galore have been thrown to tho
winds. Pitchers have caught the Colts
Off every bag when there seemed to
be a certain score. Again. the Colts
have driven for a bag when there was
no chance in the world to make the
station, and have been ANONYMOUSLY
thrown out.
The question is. however, whether
or not the coachers have not been at
fault. If they would pay less atten-
ton to whooping up the yelling and
talking to the pitcher and umpire they
would have more time to see what the
base runner was doing, and if the base
runner is on the job he Will get the
cue. 1t is all right to whoop things
up from the coaching line, but the
real object of the coacher is to tell
the base runner all the points OF the
game that he has overlooked.
Owner Bradley and Tommy Messitt
will get together Thursday morning
to see who will go. Tho edict has
been sent forth from headquarters that
every club in the Virginia League must
be within tho player limit to-day, but
as Richmond is playing away from
home the cut will not be made until
owner and manager can talk matters
over Somebody has got to go on
Thursday, however. and 1t is hard to
say who it will be- Salvc. who was
