GEERS RUNS AWAY
WITH FEATURE EVENTS
AT KALAMAZOO MEET
Veterans Performance a Rep.
itition of Last Years
Winning.

Notwithstanding a most d~iscouraging
start at Indianapolis last week. the in
dications at this time are that Kala-
mazoo will more than make up the
shortcomings encountered at the
"Hosier camp last week.
The racing yesterday, judged by pub
lished reports, was in every way high
class and the time made in the various
races would indicate something sensa-
tional before the close of the week.
The city that made celery famous
conducted a high-class meeting last
year, and is doubtless de1tined to be
come one of the most important on the
big line.
Ed. oeers won the two feature events.

to The Able. 2.03. who last year won
the Chamber of Commerce stake fo'
Geers and at the Kalamazoo meeting
won the 2:15 pace. He was driven BY
Frank Jones, the Memphis millionaire
in this race. owing to the accident
which befell Geers at the openin' meet
ing at Terre Haute. Geers also an
nexed the 2:07 trot with Dude Arch

AMATEUR REGATTA
AT SARATOGA THIS
YEAR TO Be GREAT

SARATOGA SPRINGS, n. Y, July
1S.--Early indications are that the 1911
regatta of the National Association of
Amateur oarsmen, to take place On
Friday and Saturday of next week IN
Saratoga Lake, will be the most largely
attended and successful in several
years. Secretary Fortmeyer is conf
dent that the entry list will be a record
one.
1T is impossible to tell accurately the
number of crews entered" said Mr..
Fortmeyer, because the entries did not
close until Saturday. and We will have
to wait until about Thursday for the
Western mail. I feel confident that we
will have the largest entry in years.
Philadelphia will send about thirty
men. while st. Paul, st. Louis and De-
troit will be we'll represented, as will
the Eastern cities. I do not suppose
we will have any of the Canadian
crews, for the reason we did not change
the date to suit them. The first of the
crews will arrive here next Monday

Temptation is a mighty force, they
say. but as great as 1t was when Man
ger John Camel, of Rochester, offered
a large sum of money to the Proyi-
dence club for the Grays' three stars,
the club officials. despite her lowly
position in the race and perhaps I'M
usually low bank account, were too
proud to accept.
The champions made a play for
Pitchers Jimmy Lavender and Bin
Slime and Red" McDermott, the clever
utility man, of the Grays, who once
wore a Newark uniform. The trio
surely would strengthen the champions
at this stage of the game, but 1t
would be suicide for the owners Of the
team from the little Rhode Island town
to fall for such a deal. 1t would
mean another cry perhaps of syndicate
ball in the Eastern League and would
kill the already low attendance at the
games in Clamtown.
Messrs. Crowley, LAWS and Reilly,
of the Grays, are good losers, and like
Joe McGinnity, despite numerous
stories, will not let go e thei hold
ings.
Jimmy Lavender ID pitching great
ball, and Slime is doing equally as
we'll. With a first division club they
would shine. McDermott was sought
by Manager S~tallings, who offered
81, 800 for him, and Joe McGinnity Of
fered 81, 200 and an infelder for the
red-topped boy.
McDermott has played every position
on the infield except as a battery men
and he also worked several games IN
tn out1eld.
In a recent game against the Tigers
he was sent in as a pinch hitter and
landed on one of McGinnity's twisters
for a homer.
Scouts Larry Sutton, Of Brooklyn,
| Arthur Irwin. of the ano
Billy Murray, of the Pirates, all tnre"
their optics on Lavender,
For several years Lavender hal
ranked we'll among the Eastern League
twirlers. Last year his fine WORT
caused the other managers to make
a bid for him, but the wners OF tnt
Grays couldn't see 1t.
! Jimmy Collins was always sweet or
Lavender. When the "Two Jimmies'
parted there was gloom on both sides
From the looks of things 'now, La
vender is almost sure of a berth II
the big show in 1912.
Like Bobby Keefe, there is not muci
in back of Lavender in the way o.
weight, but he can lick the pill al
we'll as sling it.
Oftentimes his swats break up thu
game. He is popular all over h cir
cult, and right here in this burg tbs
fans are ready to applaud the genia
twirler any time he goes to the firint
line.

MONEY SPENT BY
NEWARK CLUB FOR
PLAYERS IS BIC
Iron Man Claims He Has Spent
$4,000 for Tigers and Must
Get That Money Back Before
He Would Think of Selling His
Club.

Now that the spectators have been
set down by the declaration of Manager
Joe McGinnity that the Tigers are
worth s75,00o the syndicate writers who
made up the combine that the Iron
Man" referred to in a story published
In the STAR several days ago., will get
a rest. The Tigers leader, in order TO
show that he not only spent his money
and that of H. c. Smith in building a
new park. but also 10000 of it for play
ers, talked at length today as to his
purchases.
Jack Dalton was obtained from Char
ley Ebbett's Infants on Larry Sutton's
recommendation and 81 500. It's a safe
bet tina any club in the league VIII give
McGinnity t~hat\arnount now If he de-
cided to let Jack out.
That was one man who proved his
worth. Harry Bailey. the f~ieet-footed
chap who brushes the grass in John
Kennedy's right garden, was secured
from the Yanks on the optional agree
rnent plan for $500. Bailey is worth
twice that amount. He has proven that
time and again by his h~air-raising cap
lures and his timely three-base swats.

Meteors and the Atmosphere.

One of the most useful results aris-
ing from the study of sporadic meteors
is the light thrown upon the question
of the height of the atmosphere, since
1t is the friction of the air that sets
them on fire. and If their elevation Is
known at the moment Of their first ap-
pearance the probable height Of the at
mosphere can be calculated. On Aug.
II. 1909, brilliant meteor happened
to impress its picture simultaneously
on three Photographic plates. at fash
kend. Islander and Tschimgan, in
Russian Turkestan. The distances be-
tween these places furnished base lines
from which the height could be de
duced The calculation shows that the
meteor first appeared at height OF
69.45 miles above the earth and disap-
peared at fifty miles
