UHLAN IN ANOTHER
STAR PERFORMANCE
TrOts Mile to Wagon Without Wind
Shield in 2:O1 1-5, Driven
by Billings.

Charter Oak Park, Hartford, Conn,
Sept. 10.-The breaking of the world s
trotting record in an exhibition mile
by horse driven to wagon and with
out shield was the feat accomplished
at Charter Oak park yesterday after
noon by Uhlan, 1854, driven by C. H.
K. Billings of New York. Uhlan was
paced by a runner, and negotiated the
mile in 2.01 Is. The task undertaken
was to break the record established by
Hamburg Belle of 2:04A.
The performance of the gelding is
considered the best of his career, all
things considered. The mark of 1:5S%
was made at Cleveland under track
conditions decidedly more favorable
than those of yesterday, for the under
surface of the course here was soft,
owing to the heavy rains of the early
week. A strong wind also swept the
course.

The final game of the season with
the Danville aggregation was won by
the Islanders yesterday afternoon by
a score of to 8. In the last half of
the ninth inning Pitcher Frank Dick,
who had allowed the visitors to tie
up the score minute before, drove
the ball through the right fielder and
clear to the club house, scoring Vogel,
who was on first, and breaking the
tie which had existed half an inning.
1t ought to have been the islanders
game without so much energy having
to be expended in the closing round,
as for seven innings the visitors hard
ly had look, and did not appear like
winners in any sense Of the word. The
champs, on the other hand, had three
scores by the time the eighth inning
came and they apparently had the
game tightly sewed up. Dick had
pitched great ball for six innings, al
lowing but one hit and though he let
down momentarily in the seventh and
gave two more safeties, he APPARENTLY
had the game well in hand.
Goes a la CurtIss.
In the eighth, however, Frank went
wrong, and one run resulted, making
the score three to two. In the final
round he allowed three hits and gave
a base on balls and the visitors tied
the score before they were retired. But
he stuck gamely to it and won the game
himself after having come so near TO
losing it. Snyder opened the ninth
with a wheeze and Vogel followed with
a base on balls. Dick tried twice to
bunt and then whaled into the sphere
which went out on a line into right
field. Hopkins hurried in to get it in
time to keep Vogel from reaching
third, but the ball was travelling faster
than he thought and the result was
it slipped past him and went to the
club house, allowing Vogel to continue
his course around the circuit clear to
the home plate. Dick received credit
for a three-sacker, though had the
same play happened in another inning
he would probably have made homer
out of it.
How First Runs Came.
The champs scored two men right
of the reel, getting to Pitcher Loomis
in the opening round for three hits.
Callahan bounced one over the pitch
er's head and was safe. Davidsontriedt to
bunt, but finally had to hit. and his
drive to center counted him two sacks
and scored Callahan. Manusch dumped
one down and beat the throw to first
while Davy went to third on it. o.
Leary lined to Hildebrand in left field
for an out, but Slattery grounded to
Magee and he visitors second sacker
fumbled long enough to let Stats reach
first and Davy the plate. The third
run came in the fifth inning. With one
down Davidson walked and went to
third on Manusch's hit into right. o.
Leary drove to ingalls, and the latter
juggled it first on his wrist, then on
his shoulder. and finally on his ear,
and the result was that Davy scored
for the second time. The score:

Is Suffering from Appendicitis
Loss of Star Now Is a Serious
Blow to Red and Gold.

Sad news came from the Rock Island
high school football squad today in the
shape OF the announc cement that Cap
tain John Kittilsen will be unable to
take part in the game this year. The
lad, who would undoubtedly have been
star this season. was taken to st. An
thongs hospital today to be operated
on and to have his appendix removed.
1t has been known for some time that
the captain was troubled to some ex-
tent by appendicitis, but few feared
but that he would be able to play with
his team. His loss will be a serious
one to the squad. and Coach Harmon
will find his place no easy one to fill,
as he was well liked by the other
players and was able to uphold the best
of discipline among them.

the days go by, for some of the boys
who were least expected are showing
excellent form in the preliminary work
