HAMILTON, Ont, August 1g.-Some
stirring contests We're witnessed at Ham
ilton yesterday afternoon in a well bal
anced program of eight races, with the
Brighton steeplechase, the Connaught
selling purse and the Niagara handicap
as attractions.
One of the best fields of sprinters that
have started in Canada this season went
to the post in the Niagara handicap. and
the race furnished stirring finish in
which Follie Levy beat Novelty out by
neck. The H.ldreth three-year-old car
ried top weight, and was an odds-on IA
vorite. He set a terrific pace, running
the first half mile in 0.46 Al. In the
stretch run Follie Levy caught him. and
in the final drive lasted the longer 1t was
the first time this season that Novelty
had been beaten.
Merryman proved an easy winner in the
Brighton steeplechase, while the Con-

which called for Canadian-owned horses
was won by Melton Street, who won In
gallop. This race marked the third VIC
tory that the Mackenzie stable had

DONNELLY IS BEST BATTER
IN INDEPENDENCE LEAGUE
Heads List of Clouters With Average o
.594- Walker Second Rapp
Leads in Stolen Bases.

Leading his nearest competitor by
hundred points, Jimmy Donnelly Of Man
haitian leads the Independence League In
batting with 594 Jimmy has been the
leading batter of the circuit all season,
holding the coveted position through his
ability to smack them out or beat out
bunt.
The fact that Donnelly is not a slusser
is shown by the fact that out of Al hits
only g went for extra bases.
ANDY" Walker of st. Martin is the
second best hitter with an average of
.493 for eighteen games. Unlike Donnelly,
most of Walkers hits were long drives.
90 Of his SO hits being clouts for total
of forty extra bases.
Fischer of Kendall follows close behind
Walker with 45S for a season of twenty
four games. He, too, has 20 extra base
hits but his record as a slugger is slight
ly behind that of Walker.

Not only has Manhattan got the lead
ing hitter. but it also has the leading
base stealer in Gates Rapp. Rapp has

which scored one>rln1. being all that his
opponents could get off him.

Jones. the diminutive second sacker OF
the winners, played an exceptionally good
game. He killed at least two hits. He
plays far enough back from the bag TO
be called an assistant right fielder. In
the third Strothers slapped the ball on
the nose for what looked TO be a pretty
single to right, but Jones was on the
job and threw him out. Again in the
fifth he did the same stunt. this time
snagging a Texas Lacquer from Carr's
bat He was also there with the bin
giles, getting double and two singles.
The bats went around for the Mar
quette League champs in the fifth, Don
aldson and Kerr coming up twice. The
former made a hit on both occasions,
while the latter got one on his first trip.
Yesterdays victory was the second for
Rice, and he deserves lots of credit for
his good work in each contest. But four
scattered hits were made off him yes
terday, all of them coming in different
innings. Eight men were returned to
the bench via the strike-out route. and
but one was given free transportation.
He was little wild in the first few in
nings. making three wild pitches and

settle down there was no doubt in the
minds of the fans as to who was master
of the situation.

ting a two-bagger and single and the
latter getting two singles. Dechard' S
double in the seventh was the only one
which counted in the scoring, it bringing
in Blair. who had gotten a life on Har-
ley's error.
Chuck" Wheatley was sent in in the
sixth after Litchfeld had tanned the doc
tors but the lanky twirIer was not at
his best, and two more runs, were made
from his delivery on three successive hits
and his error.
