UHLAN TROTS new
RECORD FOR Mile

HARTFORD, Conn, Sept 9.-Break-
ing the worlds trotting record in an
exhibition mile by a horse driven 10
wagon and without shield, was the
feature accomplished at Charter Oak
park this afternoon by Uhlan, 1:5S>4.
driven by c. X. 6. Billings of New
York.
Uhlan was paced by a runner and
negotiated the mile in 2:01 Il. The
task undertaken was to break the
record established by Hamburg Belle
of 2:04A
The performance OF the gelding
today is considered the BEST of his
career. The mark of 1854 was made
at Cleveland under track conditions
of today, for the surface of the course
here was wet owing TO the heavy rains
of the early week. A strong wind also
swept the course.
The mile was travelled today in a
ma gnificent form and the great crowd
was on its feet most of the time. AS
the horses swept into the stretch, the
runner found it difficult ito maintain
a lead, and as Uhlan passed under the
grandstand. although it was not then
known that the track record had been
broken.
When the figures were flashed the
enthusiasm was renewed and Billings
was given an ovation.
The time by quarters follows. First.
3o%; second. 1:0O1s; third. 1:32h
fourth, 2:01A.
The other feature was the breaking
of the track record by The Harvester

ing stunt would suddenly cut~off the
expected run.
The game ran along this way past
the ninth and passed the tenth rounds.
It looked as though they would have
to call it on account of the time limit,
but the great excitement was only
about to begin.
Just as the fans were preparing to
settle back for a few minutes and then
make a dash for the train for San
Francisco as the umpire would call
time, Buddy Ryan clouteJ one of
Lively's fast ones over the fence. The
Portland rooters yelled like wild men.
The Oakland rooters groaned That
run certainly looked god enough to
give the game to the Rortherners.
But Oakland's turn was yet to come.
though the start was not at all en-
couraging, for Lively, the first man
to face Steen in the eleventh famed.
Maggart however, gave the fans ray
of hope by lifting a pretty two sacker
out to center field. Then there was
another groan when Wares popped
out. 1t looked like Portland victory
beyond the question of a doubt.
With Willie Hogan up, Captain Casey
advised Steen to issue the smuggling
center fielder base on balls, which
he promptly did. Then Casey felt a
bit alarmed when he saw Cameron
coming up, so he decided to remove
Steen and put the terror, Gregg TO
work.
Casey's generalship was good, but
he had nothing on Cap Wolverton. Not
to be outdone, the Oakland leader at
once babe Cameron take to the bench.
He picked out Bunny Pearce from
among the squad and ordered him to
go up and murder one of Gregg's
shoots, though nobody in the park
conceded him a chance to do any good
against the awe inspiring southpaw.
Pearce just walked up there and took
a swing on one that went Skippin g
down the line between first and second
base. Rapps thought it was his duty
to smother the ball, so he started right
after it, ignoring Casey's frantic APP
peals to cover the bag. Knapp could
not get his nlitts on the ball somehow
or other and while he was stalling
around and making many wild and
wierd grabs. Maggart was beating it
home and the Oakland fans were go
ing mad.
Hogan was also burning up the
paths, so long did 1t take Rapps to
make the sphere stick to his mitts.
At last he did nail it and then what
did he do? Why, he just tossed it away
about 20 feet over first base, into the
right field bleachers and the game
was over. No team ever got two runs
easier than Oakland got those. But
such is the luck of baseball. The

the same place. This time Wolverton
grabbed the ball and whisked Kruger
out at first Seeing third base I'M
covered, Olson made for 1t. Cameron
pegged the ball over in an attempt to
cut the Beaver shortstop off, but his
throw went away over Wolverton's
head, and Olson simply glided home.
Oaklands lonesome tally came about
in the fourth. There were two down
and Cutshaw was passed. Then Swan
der biffed a safe one into center field
and Mite surprised himself by con-
Meeting with a single to the right
garden, and the run was a reality.
The Oakland players knew just as
well as did the fans that they did not
have a chance to do any damage to the
offerings of the sidewheel shooter from
the northwest He had the number of
every Commuter written down in his
little book, and he was not for letting
any of them get away with anything
Gregg's control was good and his sup
port was as good as any pitcher needed
A great throw by Olson saved run
in the fifth Two were down when
Hogan singled to center and Cameron
placed a Texas Lacquer in left Kruger
ran in on the ball and IL got away
from him But Olson was on the job
He ran from short into left field,
seized the ball and with a great toss
got Hogan 10 feet from the home plate.

RHEUMATISM
PAINFUL q DANGEROUS

Rheumatism is due to a diseased
condition of the blood cells and cor
puscles, brought about by an excess
of uric acid in the circulation. 1t is
not only very painful disease but an
extremely dangerous trouble. The
briny, acrid state of the blood gradu-
ally forms coating over the muscles,
and by depositing a cement-like sub
stance in the joints frequently termi-
mates fatally, or leaves its victim a
hopeless cripple. 1t is natural to
doctor " the spot that hurts, and, it is
quite right to use linirnents, hotappli-
cations, ETC., to get temporary relief
from painful joint or swollen tendon;
but Rheumatism is not skin disease,
and such things, when depended on
alone make one careless, and the dis
ease gets frmer hold on the blood.
S. S. S. cures the disease because it is
the greatest of all blood purifiers. 1t

teams ct Recreation park The fans
seemed to be beside themselves and
their feelings ran with Oakland They
wanted to see the Commuters take of
that double header.
The afternoon affair was not a good
exhibition of the national pastime.
There was too much boOting, too many
wild throws. too much Gregg. Oak
land was a lighting, tearing baseball
aggregation in the morning. Oakland
was a completely whipped aggregation
in the afternoon. Just as soon as the
Commuters learned that Gregg was
billed to do the pitching they tossed
their hands skyward. They knew then
that IL WAS good night.
All of Oakland's fears were fulfilled,
for the Portland southpaw was even
more terrible than on Wednesday aft
ernoon. when he took them down the
line. He whisked II of them to the
bench on the third strike and they were
fortunate indeed in grabbing off run.
They annexed five hits for themselves.
but these were nearly all very lucky
ones.
Not only did the Oakland team col
lapse at the bat. but in the field it's
actions were awful. Manager Wolver-
ton set a bad example for the men
behind him by booting two chances.
These errors were both very costly
ones and each of them helped Port
land runner on his way across the
plate. Wares and Cameron also con-
tributed to the bOoting, which was Sc
popular.
BEAVERS PLAY REAL BALL
The Beavers played the real sort
of winning baseball. Their work in
the field was clean cut and accurate.
While they did not hit Pitcher Harkins
hard. they made all of their hits count
and they knew how TO take advantage
Of the many errors which the Com
muters committed. On the bases they
were bears every time they got start,
which was often
Portland started the run getting in
the opening round. With Ryan down
Olson hit one to Wares, which the
Oakland shortstop tossed away at first.
allowing Olson to get as far as second.
Kruger Immediately banged out long
single to center. which registered the
Beaver shortstop.
In the next inning the Beavers were
right on the job again. After Orf had
worked Hsrkins for pass, Murray hit
one down to Wolverton. 1t was a
hard one TO handle and went as a hit.
But the Oakland captain kicked the
spber- 70 nara mat both runners adj
vsnced a peg. Gregg hunted. but Mite
clapped the ball on Ort as he tore
home A moment later Ryan brought
Murray home by driving down a hard
one TO first base.
It was the same old tale of Oak
lands errors and Portland's activity
again in the third, when the Beavers
went for one more. They then skipped
a couple Of periods, but came back
strong in round six, when pass to

CAN'T PLAY UNDER
 ASSUMED NAME.

Cincinnati, Feb. 14.-Playing under an assumed name is not a legal avoid . ance of the rules of organized base ball. This is the substance of a de- cision handed down Saturday by the National baseball commission in the case of Player Pokorney, application for whose reinstatement to the eii.si !. ble list was made by the officials of the Toledo club of the American as- sociation. Pokorney's release origin ally was sold by Toledo to Evansville, but he never reported to that club and later under an assumed name
 ayed with the California State lea que. The commission in it's fiinings says:
 '"The fact that Pokorney used an assumed name cannot be used as an argument why the&ineligibility against i'm for his failure to report to the Evansville club should be removed. The commission also recommends that when the time limit of ineligibiIitv against this player has expired he be given notice to show cause why pen-
 'ty should not be inflicted against him.
