but now that they are two laps behind
they have little chance of winning the
event. Yesterday afternoon the at
tendance was very light, but last night
the crowd came out anticipating some
desperate efforts on the part of Rutt
and Clarke to gain a lap, but they
were disappointed.
There is a rumor current in New
York that P. 7. Powers will no longer
run the sfx-day races in New York.
Pat has business ventures which will
hold his attention next year. That Toes
not mean that the iong-distance grind
will not be held In years TO come, but
that II will be in the hands of other
promoters. 1t is generally believed
that Pat Powers has purchased the
Boston National League Club.
There is little chance of Rutt and
Clarke teaming up. unless the Rutt
and Stol combination can regain their
lost two laps and Clarke and MacFar-
land regain their one lost lap. II these
combinations could turn that trick
they would probably decide to stick
1t out at any rate. But the chance Of
Rutt and Stol getting back their two
laps r almost nil. Were Rutt and
Clarke TO team up now they would be
placed three laps behind the IeaGers,
which is an awful handicap fer a team
that expects to win out in two aud a
half days.
Jimmy Moran, too, will see that
Clarke doesn't get back that lap IL he
can help 1t. 1t looks as though Jimmy
ha Clarke's goat. In the midst of the
most grueiiing sprints Moran shoves
his wheel close to Clarke's and goads
him with jeers. Moran always tries
to be on the track when Clarke is nd
ling.
Jimmy Moran is living UP 70 his
reputation. He is the man
in the race n is riding wonderfully
well.
Knockout Brown the clever New
York lightweight, who is after Cham
pion Ad Wolgast's scalp, is a regular
spectator at the races. He said that he
would be at the STAR benefit tonight
at Wevers's Colosseum.
The riders were working in four-
hour shifts yesterday afternoon, and
this To one of the reasons VIII the
pace was slow and the riders were
falling so far behind the record.
Dots" Miller, the Kearay hoy who
played second for the Pirates last
season and the previous year, was a

last season and hurt his playing. is All
right and that he will be in tip-top
form again next year.
Jimmy Moran Will insist on wearing
a red sweater occasionally despite tll4
repeated warnings of the Judges and
the fact that Powers has already mott
fed him that he viii be fined s5e. The

The price OF admission was raised
to 81 yesterday. Previously it had been
so cents, while 81 entitled the holder
to a reserved seat. Now the scale Is

Clarke and Rutt seem fearful about
going out for a lost lap. Jimmy Moran
is always right there, and they fear
that they are apt to pub him around
with them n give him the advantage
Of a lap. and that practically mesNe

1t was a year ago tonight. or rather
it was on Thursday night OF last years

lap that gave them the race.
