GAME TO-DAY:

Commerce and Labor VS.. Post ONCE.
The Navy team won a grand uphill fight
yesterday from Interstate Commerce
Commission. overtaking a lead Of three
runs and winning out by the score Of 4
to 3.
It looked like another defeat for the
Sailors at the conclusion Of the fourth
round, as they had failed to get any runs
across. and from the way Edmonston
was pitching it did not seem that they
point A base on balls and two hits gave
them two runs. This made the score
stand 3 to in favor Of the Interstaters,
and still nobody considered the Navy boys
as the likely winners. But at the end OF
the seventh opinions took a mighty shift.
they having piled up couple more on a
slow fielding chance. From this time on
1t was up to Interstate to worry. They
plugged along with high hopes until the
last man was down in the ninth. but to no
avail.
Home runs ae becoming everyday oc-
currences. Yesterday Charley Salb got
one to his liking and the ball sailed over
the left gardener head. and Charley took
1t easy going around.
Freide covered first again yesterday In
the absence of Cy Macdonald, and again
played sterling game, both at the bat
and In the field. He and Noyes were the
only two Interstaters to get q couple to
safe territory.
The Navy team looked exceptionally
strong yesterday. This, perhaph. is because
they were yell fixed in tho box Rice. q
new man from the Navy Medical School,
did the fiinging and came of with flying
colors. He allowed only six hits, three OF
which were punched, hewever. in that in
ming when the Interstaters made their
first two tallies. With pitching like that
of yesterday the Sailors will prove hard
nut to crack in all games, as lots Of pep"
is mixed UP with their fielding.

MUD LARKS BEST
IN MARLBORO CARD
Biggest Crowd of Season Witnesses Races -Sandiver,
, Played Heavily, Loses Race in Stretch.
Smirk Takes Second Contest

MARLBORO, Nd, Nov 12.-The big
gest crowd of the meeting saw the races
at Marlboro yesterday. The track had
dried out well, but was still heavy and
mud larks had all the best of 1t. BY
tomorrow IL no more rain falls the track
should be pretty fast.
The air was full of good things yes
terday, but most OF them did not ma
terialize.
About the warmest tip of the after
noon was that on Sandiver in the last
race. Not much was played on the colt
at the track, but big bundle was bet
on him In out of town poolrooms and
hand books. All the wise fish were for
Sandixar to a man.
The good thing was well meant all
right. He took the lead at the start
and steaming out in front looked as II
he would make n runaway race OF It.
On the stretch turn he began to back up
and the field closed on him,
Dolly Buttman and Muff shot out from
the bunch and. giving Sandiver the go
by, fought 1t out hammer and tongs to
the finish, Muff getting the verdict by
an eyelash.
To q man up a tree 1t looked little
as II Hopkins on Muff was somewhat
lacking In ambition Until he found that
Dolly Rultman was in a fair way to
beat Sandiver.
Golden Cluster Good.
Golden Cluster, which captured the
fourth race rather nandily, is a much
better filly than the public has rated
her. She won her first start OF the
meeting Monday at IL to 1, and yester-
day she came back and won the fourth
race from a pretty clever field at odds
of 6 to /. Mr.. Stackhouse, her owner,
considers Golden Cluster the best filly
ut the track. This is one of Mrs. Liv-
ingston's breeding by 1ldrim-Golden
Glitter.
Another nag that the talent has un-
derated is Western Belle, the property
one captured the fifth race yesterday
in handy fashion, beating some of the
shiftiest sprinters at the track. In
three starts at the meeting Western
Belle has won twice and been second
Cnce and each time big odds have been
I'D against the filly.
By some strange freak Of reasoning
the tolent made Q. K. a favorite In he
officers race. This one had absolutely
no speed at all and when Lieutenant
Rockwell went to the whip collapsed
Kyrat won in the handiest possible
fashion, A timely inquiry would be
boro?'
