Some interesting sport was witt
messed in the twenty-mile "chu chu''
affair. Up to the fifth mile the con-
testants kept their positions with
out a falter. Carmen leading, BedelI
second and Wiley third. At sixteen
miles all were riding nip and tuck
with Carmen first. Bedell let out a
terrific pace and was about to pass
Carmen, when he lost his pace
maker, and at fifteen miles was
Tapped by Carmen At fourteen and
one-half miles Wiley passed him.
After showing wonderful form for
fifteen miles, Carmen in a fight for
the lead with Wiley lost his pace,
and at four miles to go little George
Tapped the Jamaica youngster. Wiley
then took a sleigh ride to the nish.
Donald McDougall failed to get up
in the final of the one-third-mile
handicap event for amateurs. He
caught the ~big-markers in a jiffy, but
the contestants pushed him up and
down the bank to such an extent that
he was forced to sit up and watch
the finish.
The two-mile invitation had its
usual scramble, but there was much
to spare between the winners at the
finish.
McDougall. who va. in a fine
position two laps from the tape of
the five-mile. lost his strap and, rid
ing over it. tripped. He fell against
another rider. and both went down In
a heap. Gus Wohlrab took first
honors, with Frank Blatz, the former
amateur champion, second.

Gossip Gathered Around

cally winning the game, as 1t tied the
score when Montreal had a 6-2 lead.
They say that Joe Yeager had the
chance to get the managerial job at
Montreal, but Joe's inability to read
or write kept him out of the position.
At that, Joe is the life Of the team,
and when the Royals do win it is his
baseball brains hat pulls them
through most of the time.
Kirk has a big list of assists every
time. McGinnity pitches. Yesterday
Enos had five accomplice credits and
one put-out. The last time Joe
pitched Enos had eight chances.
Several of the Tigers saw Frank
Kramer beaten last night by ALI
Grenda. They are of the opinion
that some of the judges are as bad
as President Barrows's staff of UNI
pires. Kramer was presented with
second place on a silver platter.
Toronto had FIVE stolen bases in
the first game and three in the second
at Providence, with Schmidt catch
ing.
There were twenty-eight hits made
in the first game at Providence and
t~wenty-nine In the second. Some
smuggling.

Gus Wohlrab was first in the five
mile for the amateurs, while the one
third mile handicap for the ''simons''
went to William Wyckoff, of Jersey
City. Willie Coburn was the winner
in the invitation for the money
chasers.
The Americans downfall in the
championship race was a surprise,
but twice as big a surprise was
handed the crowd when Announcer
Eddie Bedford yelled Kramer, sec

press representatives who are sta
toned at the finish line, 1t appeared
that the champion was half a wheel

rider. When the tried to

inching up pocketed Kramer. The lat

of second he won the race two full

with. Seven hooked up with the
champ in this event. with Werner

best handicap of seyenty-fve yards.
Frank caught the bunch at one and a

stolen base a game. Bill scored both
of the Tigers runs yesterday.
In the second inning he was hit by
a pitched ball. Edie Zimmerman
walked, showing Bill to second. Smith
then hit a fly to right and it fell
safely, when Osborn and Lelivelt col
lided. Collins crossed the plate on
this play. 1t was a well placed hit
by Smith, directly between the two
outfielders, and while he got it a lit
tie too high he had the luck to get
away with it, getting credit for a
double because of the collision.
j.. Scott Holmes, the Rochester
sharpshooter, was not far behind Nc
Ginnity in the pitching, and If he had
as good support neither side might
have scored. On Holmes, however,
the Tigers made two hits in three diff
ferent rounds, so that their eight
safeties were punched, while Roches-

punishment well assorted is the

The cunning and conniving Joe Nc
Ginnity has pitched some great games
against Rochester during the last
four years. but only once has the
Iron Man been more effective than he
was yesterday. The occasion referred
to is the first game of the mid-season
series at Rochester two years ago.
In that contest Dan Moeller, now
earning plaudits from big league au-
diences for his stellar performances
with Washington, led off against the
Iron Man with a swinging bunt in
the very first inning.
Zimmerman and McGinnity both
started for the ball and both stopped
short thinking the other would get 1t.
This checkmate gave oeller a hit and
this fuke was the only Safety regis
tered by Rochester in the nine in
nings. Joe had to work to win be-
cause Mcconnell was 1inging, but
Newark won. 10.
Yesterday the Tiger leader was not
so successful in the matter of hits.
He allowed six singles all told, but
not until the ninth did a member of
the visiting contingent reach second
base, and then Lelivelt was left
stranded. He was the only member
of the Rochester Club to score even
half a run" No one reached third
on Joe, who was supreme at all times.
Collins Shining Brighter.
Bill Collins continues to shine
brighter every day by his timely hit
ting and his daring base-running. Bill
has complained at times that the rea-
son he did not steal more bases was
because the men behind him would
not let him run the paths as he saw
fit, but insisted on fouling them off
and making him go down to second
two or three times in a game. Bill is
getting away with an average of one
