EXTRA RACE DAILY
ON PIMI ICO CARD
Seven Events This Afternoon, With Open Fields
Throughout-Wilson Entry Good for the
Druid Hill

BALTIMORE, MAY Sit seems prob
able that seven-rac- programs will be
the order for the rest of the Pimlico
meeting. Another is provided for this
afternoon, and like those that have
preceded. each event has a big field Of
classy entries.
The first race on the. card has a
somewhat open look. Fort Worth has
performed we'll in the South and may
win here, with Racewell a good place
prospect.
The Druid Hill Park Purse, for two
year-ods brings out a big field of
youngsters. The Wilson entry must be
preferred here. On the opening day
Moisant Just beat New River, but it
was the general opinion that the tables
would be turned when the youngsters
met again. Moisant looks best for place.
Layminster has been working well
since coming TO Pimlico and might win
the third race. Sea Cliff ran a great
race and was only beaten a head by
Theo Cook Monday when the three
quarters was run in 1:l2 1-5. That race
gives him a look in. Busy, too, may
have to be reckoned with.
The Elkridge Steelechase for hunters
looks good for Adventurer who ran so
well at Pimlico last fall. Billy Garth 5
The Oriole Handicap will bring out
some good ones. 1t is hardly likely
that Plate Glass will start. In the event
that he does not the Hildreth entry
should win with Guy Fisher likely for
the place.
The maiden race doubtless has a
sleeper in II, but of the known ones
Springmass looks best with Footlights as
good as anything for place.
Fitzherbert is apt to break up racing
at Pimlico. 1t is very little use for
anything now on the track to chase
after the Hildreth crack with the ex-
pectation of getting anything better
than second money. Sixteen were en-

BOSTON. May 3.-On his hunt for a
slugging gardener to be used by Jimmy
McAleer's Nationals, Mike Kahoe. prize
scout, departed for Providence today to
look over the aspiring youngsters on
the Brown and Lafayette College mines.
Brown generally produces good base
ball players. and the Nationals scout
thinks he NAV see something worth

Brown has three pretty fair outfeld-
ers in STAT. Durgin, and Nash. Durgin
is hitting the hardest of the trio. and

into his ear the merits of various
youngsters playing on college and semi
professional players in this neighbor-
hood.
Kahoe spent the morning collecting
schedules Of the various New England
college teams and will divide his time
every day between the New England
leaguers and the college boys.
I'll hang around this section for
some time" said Kahoe today. Il don't
know how long. though. Then I'll take
trip around the New York State
League, unless MCAleer wants me TO go
somewhere else. They have good young
sters in both these little leagues up
here, and l shall look them over.
Good Ones Hard to Find.
The main trouble with the minors
this year seems to be that they are but
farms. Almost every good looking

big league club. If | don't see any free
kids, I'll swing over to the colleges al

Shortstop Ruiz Is out with broken

thought that Ruiz had merely sustained

subsequent examination develops the
fact that a bone has been fractured. 1t
is likely that both men will be out of

THIRD IS WHERE
SOX ARE SLAIN
Walter johnson and Clyde Milan Go Down on Record
as Faithful Servants in Natinoals, Third Battle
of Boston Series
By SENATOR"

BOSTON, May 3.-In one solitary ses-
sion fraught with evil for the Sons Of
Donovan and bounttful fortune for the
Eoodly lads who travel over this broad
land bearing the insignia of "Jeems Nc
Aleer." the third battle of the series
was decided. When Steve Yerkes hoist
ed a high fly for Clyde Milan in the last
of the ninth the good angel marked
down in the book of records against the
name of Walter Johnson well done"
Yes, when all is said and done, il
was very much to the frappe for the
Nationals. They held a jolly lead, don't

was child's play for the premier hurler
of the American League to hold the
Red Sox sluggers in the PLAN of his
mighty right hand. They never had
chance to do anything with the choice
assortment of charlotte russo chocolate
bonbons and frosted castanas that he
served up. Really, old chap, it was like
taking pennies from a dead mans eyes.
Walter decorated the enemy with a j.

second. Handsome John " I,elivelt
stopped perusing his map of Boston,
including it's alleys and historical places,
and drove a beautiful bingle to right

the bleachers.
But the end was not yet. The nifty

sending Lelivelt to third. The Kid then

drilled across the gink guiding

After that what is popularity known
as a pitchers battle ensued. and in
spite Of the ensuing there was nothing
doing for the Red .Sox.
Enjoyed BY Fans.
Walter johnson let everybody work
behind, making no effort to Whit his
opponents, and most of the fans en-
joyed the struggle.
That is. if any Washington folks were
there, they did. The rest don't count
much, after all.
A terrific gale blew across the field
during the game, and the outfielders had
to do their prettiest to get under the
hard drives. In the second round Milan
turned, ran like a scared rabbit. leaped
into the air and nailed Engle's attempt
at a homer

Pmlico we'll conducted.

When one considers the excellent
management of the Pimlico course, 1t
at once leads to reflection on the abuses
that have closed, one after one, prac
tically every race track in the country.
At Pimlico those in charge are in
cluded among the most representative
business men of Baltimore, and they
see to It that the sport is conducted on
the highest possible scale.
Racing in Florida closed last week,
and probably will never again be re-
vived in that State, and with tie game
already dead in New York, louisiana
California, and other States, IL is no
wonder that the Intelligent Marylanders
should be so jealous of the good Tepu-
tation of Pimlico.
