come to RickwoOd one of those pitch CTS who in hearing distance of a brass band admits his inability to keep his feet still. He Is invariably at the mercy of the Barons. fVs his offerings as a result of the unsteadiness of his pedals are generally smashed all over the lot Sometimes the taunting of the music has aroused the anger of oppos- ing players and everybody knows what the gods do to man just before they prepare to destroy him.
 And in other ways the band has served its purpose. It has kept the players in a good humor. It has kept the patronAp good humor. As q re- suit, confOEnation has been perfected which has proved to be unbeatable
 The Rickwood band is permanently an adjunct of Redwood Field. It will be on hand when in an afternoon of golden spring next year the good sea so nof 1913 will be cracked. Even to the end 1t will endure--and 1t Is a safe bet that if Signor Nappi retains the pres ent strength of his lungs he will fairly blow the Barons under the shadow of still another penhant. At any rate the Barons, aided and abetted by their big brass band, are In a position to defy all aspiring opponents.

The Rickwood band consists of five pieces--or rather half a dozen, for the man who plays a tattoo on the snare drum also pushes with his foot a cud- gel against the bass.
 Like the Redwood band there is no other under the sun--but there will be- For music at the park before, dur ing the progress of and Immediately following the game is destined to be a nationwide institution. Next season Atlanta will have band at it's park. Memphis will. New orleans will follow suit.
 The Redwood band was created early in the current season by Rick Woodward, who owns RiclSwood Field, the bold and battle scared Barons, and the lawn mower with which MT. Riddle takes exercise in the afternoons The thought struck him that music at the park would entertain the fans to such an extent that they would flock in greater numbers to the games. His idea was not entirely mercenary, how ever, for if there is a man who desires his patrons to get long run for their money that man is Rick.
 The First Appearance
 Il was raining when the band made It's first bow to q baseball audience As the shower fell signor Nappi tootr ed upon his cornet and his assistants footed upon or hammered upon theirs in accompaniment. The audience sat satisfied. There were no cries of Play ball. Play ball. The game was for gotten entirely or If not forgotten was forgiven in Chat 1t did not permit it- self to be played.
 The Redwood band made an instan- taneous hit It's first selection was "oh You Beautiful Doll" and so entrancing were the strains that a young couple 1wo-stepped between the seats. Then the orchestra touched the daintier note of "The Beautiful Lady waltz, and other couples Joined the first in the Terpsichorean exercise.~ At the con clusion of each selection the audience applauded For an hour the concert continued and everybody with rain check was satisfied.
 Thereafter the band was at home un- der the shed at EiclSwood. It can pro- duce any tune under the sun.

BETS UPSET WHEN JOE PATCHEN II Is BEATEN BY ANOTHER

Buffalo, N. r., August 14.-History was made today at the grand circuit meeting at Fort Erie when the sensa- tional unbeaten paeeH Joe Patchen II, went down to defeat in the Fort Erie stake purse S50OO for 2.12 pacars The horse to take the measure of son of Joe Patchen was Knight Onwardo, driven by Nat Ray the former steeple- chase jockey.
 Joe .Patchen sold a hot favorite In the pools and had no trouble in dls- posing of the field In the first heat, covering the mile in 2.04h. In the second heat Patchen went a bad break at the start, but Fleming had the stal- lion pacing smoothly at the quarter pole. Fleming made a beautlfu drive to overhaul Knight Onwardo, but was beaten by a neck. Joe Retchen paced the three quarters in 1:30&.
 In the third heat Joe Patchen got away In front, followed by Knight on wardo and Grand Opera. At the thfee- quarters the leader broke and Ray crossed the wire with plenty to spare Knight Onwardo, taking the heat and race.
 It took six heats in the Dominion of Canada stake for 2:17 trotters to gel a winner Ed Geers. with Dorsen Medium, won the race, taking the sec ond, fourth and sixth heats, Annie Kohl. favorite In the pool betteng got second money. Walter Cox. who drove the mare. was fined S200 by the judges after winning the third heat ir POT F. The judges held that Cox did not try in the first heat The judges later announced that they would recon mend to the National Trotting assoea- ton that the fine be remitted. Cox claimed Annie Kohl broke at tie head of the stretch and his statement was corroborated by other drivers in the race. The judges gave Cox the benefit of the doubt holding that the field could not be seen clearly on account of the sun.

He however, was thrown out trying to take third. This settled the battle as Birmingham never threatened to get close until the ninth.
 Two more were added to the visitors list in the sixth Merritt's triple initiated the festivities but Hardgrove showed on the brakes and downed Crandall and Ab- stein. Schweitzer was walked and then the double steal was perfected. While the Barons were arguing over the play, the sunfielder annexed third.
