UHLAN'S FEAT
TALK OF THE DAY
Black Son Of Bingen is Re-
earded As Phenomenal
TrOtter
WILL GO AGAIN
ON BOSTON TRACK

Uhlan's wonderful performances at
Cleveland last week are the talk Of
the day among votaries of harness
racing everywhere. BY trotting a
mile i'm 2.01 to wagon with his
amateur owner driving, and then
setting the sulky record at 15s "a
without a wind shield. all I'm the
same week, the black son OF Bingen.
206 Ia. has stamped himself far and
away the greatest trotter that has
yet appeared. Neither Cresceus,
202 Ia. nor Hamburg Belle, 2.01 Ia,
in their best days would have the
ghost Of chance with the new cham
pion in his present form, according
10 the opinion of horsemen who at
tended the Cleveland meeting.
Mr. Billings has arranged to start
Uhlan against the record at the
coming meeting in Boston. and II Is
hoped that he will give New York an
opportunity to see the champion OF
champions in an exhibition against
time over the fast Empire track,
where Major Delmar trotted I'm
1.59 "a with the aid of a wind shield
Uhlan's rise to fame has been
rapid Less than two years ago he
started in his first race in the 2.30
class at Boston, and a little more
than a month later gained a record
Of 2.07 IA at Columbus. He trotted
four races I'm his first campaign, win
ming them all In his first race last
season, at the Cleveland Grand Cir
cult meeting, his record dropped TO
2.O3 3-4, and two weeks later he was
finishing heads apart with Hamburg
Belle In POI IA. after having trotted
a long mile on the outside Of the
mare from start TO finish. with a
little the worse of the start When
the two matchless trotters met again
a fortnight afterward I'm Boston
Uhlan defeated Hamburg Belle de-
cisively on a slow track I'm 2.04 3-4
and 203 1-2 He could outscore her,
outhnish her and outfoot her at
every spot and place. and Mr.. Bill
ings, after seeing this performance.
paid $4,000 for the horse. Starting
to beat his record at Columbus short
ly after this race, Uhlan trotted I'm
2.02 IA. This was his last appear
ance in public until Mr.. Billings drove
him a mile in 201 to a wagon At
Cleveland last week.
Charles Sanders, a Boston mer-
chant. who bought the horse from his !
breeder, A. H. Parker Of Bedford,
Mass. developed his speed in amateur
races over the Reedville track. He
was trained and driven in his public
races last year and In 1908 by Robert
Proctor, a Boston trainer.
The best time ever made by any
other trotting horse without the aid
OF a wind shield was the 201 Of Lou
Dillon at Memphis on November IL,
1904. Her best record with the aid
Of a wind shield was 1.5S 10. Per-
formances made In this way are no
! longer recognized by the National

Worlds Series Only One Hour
Ride Away for Us, Maybe

While Connie Mack and his band
have not as yet "clinched" the PEN
nant in the American League. it
comes close TO being a "sure thing"
as is possible without actually being
the case. There remain about fifty
games for each of the American Lea
que clubs to play. The dope" for
the Mackmen to lose out is that they
must lose more than half their games
and Boston and Detroit win nearly
so per cent. of theirs. While II Is
not very di6iuclt TO conceive q the
Evening journal., 1910-08-17

Red Sox and the Tigers winning that
number of the remaining contests. it
is a weird fight of the imagination
that can foresee the Athletics winning
less than half OF the games yet to be
played Comics lads have as many
to play at home as abroad, and in
view of the excellent road trip about
TO be brought TO close Il seems TO
make little difference whether or not
they are battling at Shibe Park. II
surely does appear like a one-hour ride
for Wilmingtonians to see some of
the world series IN Oetobar.

BREAK UP IN THE
BOX BALL LEAGUE

The West End and Springs teams
dropped out of the Wilmington Box
ball League last night, owing to the
fact that the Crescent team refused
to take its regular rotation on the
alleys. After West End and the
Springs dropped out d. Z. Biddle re-
signed as the president, and Fishec,

secret, that the path Of a stranger in

We expect to organize a mems bible
class in our school on next Sabbath.
We had goodly attendance Of men at

We are hoping and expecting that this

We trust that the brethren are interest

but positive interest in this matter and
will do waat they can to induce others
to attend.
