were duly grateful. Despite the heat,

took advantage of the fair weather
and played on the links of the Morris

clubs were rewarded by the excellent
condition of both courses. Other

July Frank Kramer and ALI
Grenda are to meet in a one-mile
match, the first at French style, the
second paced by two riders on sin
giles, with the third heat, if neces-
sary. to be left to a toss-up as to
style.
The other events are a two-mile
handicap and a two-mile invitation
for the professionals, a one-mile
handicap, ive-mile open and a nov-
ice for the amateurs and a paced
race. The paced race will be at fif-
teen miles, and George Wiley, Jimmy
Moran and Clarence Carmen will be
the starters.

In all, 800, 900 is sought. Omaha
couldn't scrape up $40, 600, and will
therefore miss the fun. Money for
aviators seems to be scarce in Indian
apolis, too. Chicago a agreed to
raise $3.50
Jack Graney, of the Cleva land Maps,
awoke the other morning and found
himself famous. American League
fans are all talking about a wonder
full catch hat he made in a game
with Detroit.
Sam Crawford, of Detroit, made a
long drive. Graney vent after IT. He
had to travel between 100 and 125
feet, and even then 1t didn't seem
that he had a chance to bag the
drive, as 1t was going over his head.
But in a last desperate effort he
leaped high in the air and stuck up
his left hand-his meat hand, by the
way-and grabbed the flying sphere.
Crawford could hardly believe his
eyes. "Give him an error on hal
one and give me a hit along with it,"
he yelled up at the press box as he
returned to the bench. 3
The oldest baseball extant and the
one that was used in the first cham
pionship game on record is now in
the possession of a sporting goods
house in Kansas City, Mo. 1t is ten
inches in circumference, an inch
larger than the present day regula-
ton size, and is covered with one
piece of leather. 1t was used in the
game between the Intermountain
team, of Boston, and the Portland,
Me-, team, September 9, 1857. This
was the first championship game ever
played and was won by Portland, Al
to AZ. -
1t was the first game in which the
nine-inning rules prevailed, and the
first N in which the ball was pitched
instead of tossed. The game was
played on Boston commons.

Ed FROM
ERE

The writer has just received a let
ter from Hal Holland, the local crack
s~printer, who is in Stockholm with
the American Olympic team. Hal
tells some interesting facts on how
the athletes passed their time on
board the steamship Finland. He
also states he is in fine condition.
and although having a slight attack
of sea sickness, has fully recovered
and expects to bring home 1T least
n trophy from the old country.
1t was going around that Holland
was holding back before he left, and
has as yet to show the public his real
speed. 1t was easily shown at the
could have beaten Craig and the rest
in the events he started.
Joe Flannery, the local boy, has
been recalled from the Cotton States
League by Manager Finn, of the
Mobile Southern League Club. Elan
merry was burning up things in the
former organization and Finn, who
was about to let his third baseman,
Gardella, go, recalled the former
crack Bloomfield B. B. C. player.
Flannery will probably be kept as a
utility man for a while. He is now
travelling with the Mobile Club. The
team is on the road for the next If
teen days, according to Joe. The
Galveston team of the Texas League
is hot after the local man and would
give a pretty neat sum for his serv-
ices, but Manager Finn will not part
with him.
That Omaha, Neb,, and Indian
apolis, Ind, will be dropped from the
list of cities where stops will be made
in the 1,800-mile American grand cir
cult a%eroplane race now seems as
sured. The trouble seems to be that
neither of these cities can raise cash
enough to attract the forty-five bird
men who will take part in the race.

Beneath blue skies and under ideal
weather conditions for the sport, one
of the largest as we'll as one of the
most enthusiastic congregations of
light-harness horse followers in the
history of the plant gathered at the
Hohokus track yesterday.
Fully three thousand people passed
through the turnstiles, and the racing
was by far the very best that has
Yer been witnessed over the parlor
track. Sixteen strenuous heats were
required to determine the winners of
the three classes, and every heat was
a heart-breaker all the way. The
local mare, Danish Belle, won a sig
nal victory in the 2:22 pace, which
took six heats to decide.
The little bay mare dropped the

in the hunt at all times and came
back and won the three final heats
breaking sticks. and in the fifth
heat could have shut out all of her
contemporaries had her owner, doc"
Bodenweiser, cared to do so. Twelve
horses scored for the word in the 2:24
trot, and a most exciting race, was
the result. The bay stallion Sim
Kohl, the Parkway farm entry, won
the first heat and, after dropping the
second and third heats, came back
and won the two final sessions.
In this ace the Jersey City entry,
Wood olcott, well driven by the
West Side Park trainer, George
Moore. went a beautiful race, and.
while he did not win, he went like u
race horse all the way, and will
doubtless race in 2:15 before the close
of the season.

Morris Park, next Tuesday night to
battle with his arch enemy, Billy
Lewis, will have in his corner Danny
Morgan, the peerless manager, and
K. o. Brown to give him valuable adj

the stable of fighters who are in the
Morgan camp, and is receiving the
best kind of advice.
Lewis is working every day at Sill
yer Lake. He has grown stronger
owing to his long layoff and wants to
wipe out the several defeats that have
been chalked against his record by
KurtZ.
The fight will be a tough one, and
both will try for an early settle
ment. Kurtz wants to make good
under his new manager, and Lewis
wants to show his new speed.

eighteen consecutive winning games

pitched under, the rule calling for six
