whenever possible, so writes an ex-e
change. Compare these we'll known
facts with the tremendous strain and
effort asked from the thousands ~
trotters and PAGERS that are annually
raced in this country The runner IS
called upon for but one dash. and that
at q distance for which ne has BEEN
carefully prepared. The trotter and
PAGER is asked to race anywhere from
best two in three heats to best three
in five, with the latter race frequently
strung out to six, seven and eight,
heats.
The harness horse is scored any
where from two to half a dozen times
every heat, often times covering a mile
or more on some of these scores and In
returning for another attempt to get
to the wire on even terms. Notwith-
standing this, he is often raced twice
week, which, with his warming Up
work and actual racing heats, means
anywhere from five to heats. many
of them at full speed, with long ship
ments marking every week and racing
over any and all kinds of track, as well
as drawing a sulky that will weigh
from 80 to so pounds, with a driver
weighing anywhere from $50 to 200
pounds. Laight of bone. exceptionally
high strung and absolutely worthless
as a rule for harness or road purposes
the runner really cannot be compared
with the trotter or PAGER when it comes
TO morse Tor 1un purposes 1t IS safe
to say that fully 80 of our harness
horses possess the natural intelligence
and doci1ity which makes them adapt
able for use on the road and for pleas
ure purposes.
Dan Patch, 155 IA, the worlds
champion PAGER. is as gentle as the
typical family nag, being absolutely
fearless Of all city sights. driving with
open bride anywhere and being a per-
fectiy mann cred road horse. Uhlan.
1.53 ga, the worlds champion trotting
gelding. is considered one of the most
perfectly broken horses in the world:
he is fearless of automobiles, trolley
cars and other city sights. and has
been logged hundreds of miles on city
streets and country roads with only
one bit in his mouth. Doc Tanner, the
Cleveland trainer, who has Uhlan in
his care states that Uhlan is so high
strung that it would be an easy matter
to get into a fight with him, and that
he believes a man who would give him
beating or even one severe blow with
the whip would not be tolerated by
the gelding afterward, and yet he is
safe to drive anywhere.
Star Pointer, 1.59 IA, the FIRST har-
ness horse to beat two minutes, is an
other champion whose manners and
disposition at the time he was racing
were of the best and if anything he
was rather sluggish on the road, pay
ing absolutely no attention to any Of
the many Sights of the city streets,
which one would naturally believe
would arouse a horse of his character
and training.

THE PERFECT HORSE.
Dan Patch an ExampIe-Fishter on
Track, But Broken for Road.

One of the essential characteristics
which contribute to a large extend
toward making the American trotter
and PAGER the best general purpose
horse in the world is his rare intellt-
gence and versatility to adapt himself
to all conditions. Even the most IA
naticaI admirer. of the running horse
sport will readily admit that the So
called thoroughbred is nothing more
or less than q mere racing machine,
and as a rule practically worthless for
commercial or pleasure purposes. IF a
trottsG and PAGER fails to show suf-
ficient speed for racing purposes, he is
already fitted and ready for use on the
farm or business vehicle, While Stats
tics of the horse shows of recent years
go to show that most of the blue rib
bon winners in the high class park and
carriage classes are trotting bred. We
often hear the expression game as u
thoroughbred,'' but if this refers to the
gameness of our modern running
horses, the term thoroughbred is really
q raisnomer.
The runner rarely races more than
once every week or ten days, his racing
performances being confined to the
same track for six to ten weeks, while
every effort is made TO keep down the
weight he carries. his rider usually
weighing from 100 to 100 pounds, with
every possible ounce of additional
weight being deplored and avoided

LAST DAYS OF
THE RACING STARS.
Roseben, Sysonby, Star Pointer, Joe
Patchen and Others.

Recent news that Roseben, one of the
most popular horshes that ever raced
on an American track, is now the IA
vorite mount of Miss Wadsworth
daughter of former Representative
James w. Wadsworth, in Washington
has caused many people to ask what
has become of other famous race
horses. Roseben WAS taken off the
tracks in 1909 after winning A races
and $4,000 in first money in six years
beside several records. He could not
have been bought for $4,000 three
years ago, but his legs went bad and
when two years ago it became evident
his racing days were over, his owner
Dsvy johnson, gave him to Mr. Wads-
worth, knowing he would take good
care of the old racer. Mr.. WadsWorth
gave him to his daughter, who soon
found out that the race horse was as
gentle as q child and made an ideal
woman's mount.
Thousands know the fate of Syson4

ever lived. is skeleton is in the New
York Museum of Natural History.
Star Pointer was the greatest pacer
in America. He was the first horse to
show a mile in less than two minutes
but his death a short tina ago on a
stock farm in Tennessee was unnoticed
in the public prints. Many horsemeu
considered Star Pointer the greatest
race horse America has ever produced.
But after he made his famous record Of
a mile in 1.59 IA in 1897 he entered
the stallion ranks and passed from the
public mind. W. J. White the Chew

FINANCIAL and COMMERCIAL,
A SAoGING TENDENCY.
Stocks Move in Hestatinq Way but
Losses Not Material.

New York June S.-A heavy tone
characterized todays stock market and
trading was lifeless. Stocks moved in
hesitating way and in no important
instances were the losses material but
the sagging tendency which developed
yesterday still prevailed today and to
an extent which suggested that the re-
cent upward movement had expended
itself, for the time at least. Buying
orders were apparent on all substan-
tial concessions, the support of this
character being SO effective as to In
dictate that q deadlock had been
reached. The market was more mar
row than of recent days, even the pro-
fessional traders incliuing towards a
reduction of operations.
In financial as we'll as speculative
circles some disappointment is ex-
pressed at the failure Of the public to
show greater interest in the market
for securities. 1t had been hoped that
after the decisions in the antitrust
cases were made known there would
be a pronounced revival in trading and
for time there were indications that
this change had taken place. This
outside demand, however, has fallen
off abruptly. Aside from the contin-
ued inquiry for bonds. investors mani
fest little desire 70 purchase securities
ether than those of the standard class
an attitude which may be due in part
of prices is not especially attractive.
Prompted by knowledge of this con-
dition, the short interest continued its
operations for the decline, but stocks
were taken SO readily at concessions
that the bears were exceedingly wary.
Trading was made up largely of pro-
fessional operations and reflected no
change in view as to the broader finan-
cisl and industrial SITUATION
The hesitation of the market may
re attributed to some extent TO a de-
sire to await the forthcoming govern
exercise considerable influence upon
sentiment
Advices from the west reported
further cut in the prices of certain
steel products. Better conditions N
the copper market were reflected N

The preferred stock and the four per
cations that settlement in the local

PITCHERS ONCE WERE HITTERs.
That Was Some 20 Years Ago, Accord
ing to Clark Griffith.


'T WISH says Manager Clark Grif-
fifth of the Cincinnati team, that there
were a few more pitchers available
like those who we're the topnotchers 20
years ago. Not merely for their pitch
ing-there are lots of star hurlers
nowadays@but for the smuggling tina.

daily toll. In those days d pitcher be-
lieved that there We're nine men whose
business it was to soak the old ball,
and this gag of the pitcher being a
specialist hired to do nothing but pitch
didn't go. Pitchers who were weak
batters then were feeble simply be
because they didn't try, for they tried
and did their best to kill he-leatfer.
.Keefe. WEIGH, Ramsay and Calvin
were among the old time pitchers who
could not bat but they tried all the
time. and If one of them got a hit he
was as proud as a kid just breaking
into the big league. Arson wouldn't
hire pitcher if the man couldn't hit,
and some of his old pitchers. like Luby
and Gumbert and Thornton--yes, and
Van Haltren-were bearcats with the
stick. Far be it from me to boast. but
the old guide book viii show that I hit
over 800 for Arson. and I didn't think
[ was doing anything more than my
plain duty when I went up and slew
the ball. Clarkson could hit fairly well
and so could Radbourne, while Fergu-
son, Caruthers Foutz, Terry and STRAIT
ton were big brutes when it came to
ranlming the pill. The team that is
blessed with ramming pitcher and a.
heavy hitting catcher has it's antag-
onists at an awful disadvantage. 1t ia

New York, June 6.-President Thorn
as j. Lynch of the National league to-
day threw out the Chicago Pittsburg
game Of the morning of May 30. which
Chicago had protested, and ordered the
game played over.
This game, said President Lynch,
in his decision allowing Chicago's PRO-
test. was won by the P1ttspurg club
by to and protested by the Chicago
club on the grounds, first, that the
field umpire called the wrong player
out. and that, second, as a result of
said decision a second runner was
wrongly declared out by the umpire
in chief.
Mixup Over InfieId Fly.
In the eighth inning. Shean of Chi
cago was on first base with one out.
Archer hit a fly ball to the infield
which was dropped by Wagner and the
ball was thrown to second for force
out. With both Shean and Archer
holding first base Field Umpire Doyle
called Archer out claiming that Wag-.
ner had Intentionally dropped the ball.
After Doyle told Archer he was out
and had ordered him to leave the base
Manager Clarke of Pittsburg appealed
to Umpire in Chief KLEIN that Doyle's
decision was wrong and that Shean
should have been declared out instead
Va AItItl. l. b appeal Was dliON Ell anu
Shean was declared out. Archer in
the meantime. having left first base
as directed. was touched with the ball
and also declared out by Umpire Klein.
Both Umpires Erred.
"A careful investigation shows that
the field umpire erred in calling Archer
out instead of Shean and that Umpire
in Chief Klein likewise erred in allow
ing the second putout The only de-
cision Umpire Klein should have made
Under the rule on Manager Clarke's
appeal was to reverse Doy1e's decision
and call Shean out and send Archer
back to first.
The evidence clearly shows that
both umpires erred and that by reason
thereof an injustice was done the Chi
cago club. The protest is allowed and
the game as played Is stricken from
the records mad ordered to be replay-
ed"
Further official notice from National
league headquarters corrected the
standing of the clubs. The notice
reads:
The morning game of May 80 having
been thrown out on protest. the Pitts
burg club should have one less victory
and the Chicago clIrb one less defeat.
