MERRY WIDOW CLEANS UP
BIG SUM FOR OWNER

"Roddy" Mackenzie, Winnipeg mil

days racing Of the Blue Ribbon meet,

Will long remember the incident. Mr..
Mackenzie also brought large por-
ton Of his bank roll with him and he
backed Merry Widow until the boobies
began to think he had brought all the
money In Canada with him. He bought
many pools on the mare and each one
netted him upwards of $500. His win
nings would easily total $4,000.
The fact that Merry Widow was 60

DREAMING IN BOSTON.
Fans There Hope TO Get Cobb Of
lsjoie for Harry Lord.

GaJo'c 'oF navy Go'os
BOSTON. Aug. 6.-Hopes that
either Ty Cobb or Nap Lajoie will
soon appear in the Red Sox lineup are
exciting the American league fans
here today. The fiutter is caused by
news from Cleveland that President
Taylor. of Boston. has displaced Lord
as captain of the team, and has Of
fered him for trade. making Engle
third baseman and Charles Wagner
captain in Lords place.
II Is understood here that both DE
troit and Cleveland have tried to buy
Lord, but have been refused, Taylor
declaring he would sell the third
sacker for no amount Of money. Taylor
will trade, though, and 1t may be that
the known dissensions In the Detroit
rank will result In Cobb's becoming a
Red leg. Failing this, there is strong
possibility that Lajoie may come to
Boston. The Cleveland management
wants Lord badly. and II Is said here
they will let Lajoie come to the Hub

GIosscock Had Good Way Of Kidding
His HoosIer Pitchers.

More than 90 years ago Jack Glass
cock was handling the Indianapolis
team: II was way down In the race,
but playing good ball. The New Yorks'
playing at their fastest stride, the
pace that won them the flag that sea-
son and the championship OF the
world, came along late in the schedule
and Glasscock was wild to beat them.
He had only two effective pitchers
ready for the brunt One OF them was
a lazy fellow, who hated to work
oftener than was absolutely necessary
to keep him on the pay roll-the other
was Amos Rusie, then at the threshold
of his great career.
Say, old man." said Glasscock TO
the lazy fellow, "go IN and beat them
today and you won't have to work
again this week" The lazy man near
" flung his arm of, and New York
was beaten. Then said Glasscock to
his great young pitcher: Amos. there
are the New Yorks. Beat them today
and I'll let you pitch again tomor-
row." And Rusie won his game hands
down. That was an example OF the
way to jolly different styles OF men.
