were unable to do a thing. and it was
a good night and fare thee we'll TO old
ST. Louis.
Until that last chapter the Nationals
were painfully humble before the Yid-
dish Blenders of Barney Petty. Until
that session not man of them reached
second. which is going some, OF not
going at all.
Sherry pitched pretty fair ball after
he got into the battle, but he had all

At that, Fred fell into one in the
seventh inning, when the Brownies
scored those three runs. Oh, those
holes were awful, and will take a week
for the Brownies to fill them up again
Before leaving st. Louis Professor Joe
Quirk put the Highlanders wise to the
excavations in the sod. Perhaps the
kilties will manage to stay out of
them.
Yes, little one, right here below you'll

The Coligny people thought they had

from to to to l at post time. The

stoutly, and got the place.
Lawton Virgins and FL Orc furnished

FL Orc up and challenged him.
For a moment it looked as If Lawton
Virgins was beaten, but under pressure
he came again, and in a nerve-racking
finish got home head in front of FL

There was another tight finish in the

1t was rather a peculiar race for Pha-

Pimlico yesterday. August Belmont ,
great colt. Watervale, annexed the Dig

The Belmont colt won from end to

Jhougr that game youngster, Zeus, was
driven TO the limit to overtake hir~.
How much faster Watervale could have
gone had he been ridden out nobody
knows.
The clever fellows had the situation
correctly sized up, and Watervale went
to the post a warm favorite. John
Whalen. who makes as few mistakes as
anybody. was supremely confident and
said to a friend in the paddock, The

CLEVELAND. Ohio, May 1S.-No,
the noble Army OF the Potomac
did not land single victory on the
banks of the Mississippi, but they tossed
a fright into the hearts of the Mound
City bugs and buggesses in the ninth
INNING when they made the score 10
against them. Walker and Otey had
gone into the game armed with shovels.
What did they do with the shovels?
What did they do with the shovels2
They carefully and consistently dug big
holes in the diamond and then rolled the
Army of the Potomac into those holes.
Yes, you guessed it right at the start.
Walker looked like a regular pitcher

and forced in run. You can easily
guess what he did. He walked three

Pimlico meet a success.

With seven good events on the card
the Pimlico races ended yesterday af-
ternoon. The meet has been a record
breaker in a dozen or more ways, and
the sport of kings at Pimlico during the
meet which has just closed. has been
Of the highest character. The horses
were the best race animals to be seen
in the country today, and they gave
good account of themselves. The stew
ards are to be congratulated for their
vigorous policy, which made the sport
al Pimlico clean and on the level. The
quick way the stewards dealt with one
or two features, which, to say the
least, were not promising, was effective.
This meet has shown one thing to the
country, and that Is that racing, al
ways a popular American sport, can be
handled in a clean and sportsmanlfke
way, and the Maryland Jockey Club did
themselves proud.

While the general football outlook on
the Heights is considered good the
coach believes that the best way to get
