LARGEST N. & N. IN
HISTORY Is
PREDICTED
Geers Leads List With No Less
Than Eight Entries in
Famous $4,000
Stake.
Secretary Moone Certain That 2:li
Trot Will Also Eclipse All
Former Records.

The largest 2:11 trot in the long
history OF the stake, and an entry In
the Nj. & NJ. which will come close
To a record, are predictions made oy
Secretary Moone OF the Detroit Driv'
/ ing club. as the result OF the wave
OF entries which swept into the club
Offices Thursday.
| Mr.. Moone in enthusiastic over the
prospect and believes that the repu-
tation of the Blue Ribbon meeting
| for sensational stake racing Will De
more than maintained. during the al
fair OF the coming summer.
The entries came In so rapidly that
the tabulation necessarily fell far be
hind and totals were not available. IL
was apparent, however that the larg-
est nominator was Ed. Geers who
names no less than eight trotters In
the Merchants and Manufacturers.
Five OF these were expected. The 9TH
er three are surprises.
Mr.. Geers' bunch of Em-an-em-
mers" is made up of the following
Anvil, by st. Valiant Vincent: The
Huguenot by Chimes; Princess Ena
by Masconomo; Eva Cord by SILK
Cord; Lady Willow by Minataur;
The Pilot by Oakland Baron; Gordon
Todd by Todd; Lady Alice NJ. by Al
lerton.
The entire eight are now In train
ing at Memphis. There, II Is said, the
railbirds like Anvil best. However,
there are several others OF distinction.
The Huguenot was very fast colt
and. though unlucky, has undoubted
speed He Is the best-bred one OF the
lot being a full brother OF the Abbott
and The Able. Princess Ena was one
of the fastest three-year-olds ever
seen but was not entered In any OF
the futurities and was consequent
ly saved over until OF age.
1t is probable that, after Mr.. Geers
has made his selection for the stake,
several OF the others will be turned
over to other trainers, and their en-
tries maintained until race day. The
dean OF the reinsmen seldom makes
mistakes but will probable keep one
of the entries owned by Frank Jones,
his chief patron.
Mr.. Geers also entered a bunch OF
cavalry in the Chamber OF Commerce
stake.

REAL CHANGES
TO PLAY BALL
Both Detroit Teams May Break Long
Spell of Idleness This
Afternoon.

News from, Columbus and Kansas
City, where the two Detroit baseball
teams-first and second, respectively
are now domiciled, has IL that there
Is a chance for a game In each city
today, the opponents being, in each
case, the local American Association
aggregation.
In neither case Is the weather clear
or pleasant, but the rain has appar-
emily stopped for while and. In case
the underground drains get in their
work, the ball yards will be dry
enough to permit the athletes to step
on them.
The Donovans at Kansas City, yes
terday, never even stepped into their
spiked shoes They did start for the
ball yard. but the whole enclosure
was marsh.
Jennings and his bunch refused TO
consent 10 another day OF idleness
and, after the game at Columbus was
called OF, went TO the arena and, In
dry spots in the outheld, perched
themselves for a game OF pass-the-ball
which was slightly better than moth.
ing
The members OF the first team are
looking forward with anticipation to
the next jump which takes the team
to Cincinnati, where Clarke Grifhth's
National leaguers will be encountered.
That city Is now regarded as the big
try-out town where two or three OF
the young pitchers will answer the
questions postponed from Indian
apolis.
In case OF a game at Columbus,
Jennings will probably work Jack
Lively and Clarence Mitchell.

IeS. Connie fell Down
Badly N This Case

American league fans who believe
Connie Mack never let a good PLAYER
get away and do not believe Joe Jack
son and sgd Smith, Athletic discards,
will come up to expectations, should
remember Jack Knight who was
turned loose by Mack. Knight went
to Baltimore and helped win the East
ern league pennant and then was
picked up by the Yankees. He hit
1872 last season and is one OF the great
infielders OF the American league. II
is a good bet that Mack would give
SIC, 1000 for Knight any day. Jack
would be just the first baseman to
take the place OF Harry Davis. and
with Knight on first Connie would
have the greatest young infield III
baseball history.
