Excite Interest.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 2.-Owners and
trainers are beginning to arrive here
from the Northern race tracks with
their strings of trotters and runners to
get ready for the autumn meeting of
the United Hunts, August 81, September
and 4. Already more than 100 horses
have arrived, and stable reservations
have been received for several hundred
additional horses.
William Oliver reached Baltimore this
morning from the Hamilton course He
had with him the large string of horses
belonging to. DR.. ]. S. Tyree, of Wash
ington. Some of the Tyree horses may
be entered in the events at the GentleA
mems Driving Park, which began this
afternoon.
Much interest is centered around the
races for army horses. which have re-
Gently become so popular among turf
men. Two races for army horses have
been scheduled for the United States
Hunts; a one-mile event on the fiat,

Archer, of the Chicago Cubs, went to
Detroit from the Eastern, and later was
sent TO the Cubs.
Ira Thomas, of the Athletics, was the
catcher for Jack Dunn's Providence
team when it won the Eastern League
championship. Hughey Jennings also
got Thomas, but later sent him to the
Athletics. Jack Lapp, also with the
Athletics, branched out from the same
league.

Bill Williams went from Buffalo as
a catcher to the Boston Red Sox, but
they made a first baseman of him. The
Philadelphia Nationals had Harry
Cheek. the former Oriole, for awhile,
and KitchelI, who was with Montreal,
was picked up by the st. Louis Browns.
And another is Cady, whom Newark
has developed this season. He was sold

in the American League, was secured
by Detroit from the Eastern League.

AMERICANS TEAM
IN WORLD SERIES
TO Be WEAK ONE
Both Philadelphia and. De-
troit Lack Good Pitch ,
ing Corps.

CLEVELAND, Ohio. Aug. 21.-A much
weaker team than the Athletics of 1910,
and perhaps a weaker one than the De-
troit pennant winners of 1907 -'08-'O9, will
represent the American League in the
worlds series this year.
There isn't a strong team in Ban
Johnson's league.
The Athletics and Detroit are only
stronger than four mediocre teams and
two weak ones.
The American League race this year
sizes up almost exactly like the National
League race last season. The Athletics
and Detroit are staggering along as the
Cubs and Giants did in 1910 Neither
has the strength of a welI-balanced
team, and unless one of them develops
some real pitching the winner will tum-
BILE over the finish line as the Cubs did
last season.
The Athletics are leading because they
have beaten the life out of second d.
vision teams, just as the Cubs did last
year. For instance, st. Louis has won
only one game from the worlds cham
pions this season. Against real pitching
and hitting the Athletics have looked
like cheese champions twice-when the
White Sox beat them four straight, and
In the four straight beatings they took
in Detroit last month.
Fred Clarke, the Pittsburg manager,
last season predicted the Athletics would
win the worlds championship.
There's nothing to the Cubs" Clarke
explained. They won the National
League pennant because there wasn't
a good team for them to beat Had
Pittsburg or New York had any pitch
