ENGLISH WOULD
END HANDBOOK

LONDON, July 15.-The opening
gun has been fired In what is likely
to prove a determined campaign
against betting on horse races In the
British Isles.
At the bottom of this serious attack
on the British turf are the same W
undesirable adjuncts Of modern horse
racing that accomplished the down
fall OF the sport at the principal rae
ing centres of the United States
namely, Jobbery and c~rookedness on
the turf and hand-booking of 1t.
Instead of hand-booking it is called
starting price betting" in the Brit.
ish Isles, but the methods of trim
ming the public are just the same.
The Bishop of Hereford named his
measure the Gambling Advertise
ments'' bill. and his principal argu-
ment is hat its object is to stop
hordes of handbook men from preying
upon working men and m This
|argument won the bill such unexpect-
ed support on its second reading in
the House of Lords that the turfmen
are alarmed for fear Of further at
lacks.

The mile in 2:07 by Uhlan at Mos
COW, Russia, recently was much in
the natur of a surprise. 1t was
made in workout trials between races,
in which many Russian horses took
part. The weather for several days
at Moscow had been wet and the
horse needed work because of his en-
forced idieness. On this particular
Fridayuthe weather was dry and hot
and Tanner determined to give Uhlan
and the Harvester several trials.
The trip to Russia had been a Sc

2:07 mile he improved rapidly and for
the first time showed traces of his

Uhlan was given three miles. the
first in 2:25h, the second in 2:19h,
and then set down for what Tanner
had intended for one in about 2:10.

good support by Vaughn and Kirk
patrick prevented the Orioles from
getting their m~uch-needed run.
The Tigers had ample o~pportunf-
sided, but poor s~base-runnins and
sensational fielding by the Birds kept
down their tally. Jake Gettman
pulled a double play unassisted after
catching Higgins's. hard liner that
looked like a double when it started.
The Birds are strong for double
plays when they play the Tigers.
In the last three games between
Newark and Baltimore Dunn's men
have executed five two-ply killings
and one triple play by sensational
fielding, cutting down about ten
tallies. n :
The Tigers made a useless jump to
Newark yesterday to play the Birds,
rain preventing the game, and they
are due here at 1890 O'Clock today to
resume their series today and tomor-
row In Birdland. On Wednesday
they move to Providence. George

stayed here yesterday and passed the
time as best they could. There was
some excitement last night when a
building in the rear of the Tigers
hotel, the Raleigh Hotel, was struck
by lightning and the fire ladies
turned out to subdue the flames.
There was a heavy electrical storm
that cooled off the atmosphere some
what, for which the players are
thankful. The heat on Saturday was
Oppressive and the humidity intense.
Some of the boys were nearly "all
in" at the end of the ninth round on
Saturday. George Bell is eager for
revenge on the flock for the beating
they gave him, and he wanted to go
to Newark yesterday, but Manager
Joe McGinnity figured it out that II
would be better to use Enzmann and
give Bell at least two days rest, but
George may come back kat the Birds
today. and If he does he swears he'll
beat them.

Major League Penndnt
Races Are Tightening

There is a noticeable punching up
of the clubs in the pennant races In
the two major baseball leagues lately,
and from a four-club affair in. the
American and an apparent walkoyer
in the National the fight seems to
have, temporarily at least, settled
down to a two-club sprint. Boston
continues to thunder along in tbs
younger organization, with Washing.
ton now the only immediate factor.
while in the National League the
Western clubs have whitfield down
the Giants lead, and the Chicago
Cubs are giving McGraw serious con-
Germ. The Athletics and White Sox
have for a time dropped out as seri-
Gus c~ontenders. and the same Is true
of Pittsburgh and Cincinnati.
Yet it must be remembered that
only a little more than one.half of
the regular schedule has been played,
and there is plenty Of opportunity for
any or all to cut important figures

DISAPPOINTS
500 LOCAL ENTHUSIASTS

More than 500 fans took a chance
yesterday and went down to the ball
park. At 2:30 O'Clock there seemed to
De a chance for a game to be played,
but fifteen minutes later the bottom
seemed to have dropped out sof the
clouds, with the result that within a
few minutes Hamburg place looked
like a small-sized river. When the
game was called off the fans congre-
gated in the grand stand and in front
of Casino Hall. where a shelter was
afforded by the wooden awning.k
A a was thrown into the crowd
when lightning flashed and one bolt
seemed to strike a telegraph pole in
front of the grounds A trolley in
spector standing alongside of the
pole made a quick getaway.
Many of the players we're in uni
form but did not leave the clubhouse,
expecting the downpour.
The groundkeeper was on the job
at the first sign of rain and had COW
cred the Pitchers box and the home
plate with canvas.
The fans, waiting for the rain to
let up, discussed the chances of the
Giants inythe National League race.
The discussion showed that there are
a large number of Pittsburgh follow
ers in this city. The poor. showing
of the Yankees was a topic for a
tanning bee. Most of the fans do not
think the fault is with Wolverton.

America outdistanoed the world in
the track and field events of the
Olympic games. Victory has practi-
cally been assured the United States
athletes in the fifth set of these Won
derful games now concluding in

With only three events of track and

America has outscored the combined
nations so far as this part of the
ella ssic athletic program is concerned.

still to be run off are: 1,600 meters
relay race. 5000 meters cross-country
and the decathlon. From all indica-.
tions no one country will get a clean
sweep in all three of these events.
In fact, America is fitted to score
heavily in the decathlon and add TO
its total score. There are a. number
of swimming events remaining, and

has.been found to wear the mantle

great runner. 5
Perhaps the greatest surprise of
the Olympics repiete with reversal of
public form was the failure of John
Paul Jones. the great Cornell miller,
to score a position in the 1.5oo-meter
run. This rae proved a surprise In
more ways than one, for it saw the
defeat of a quartet of Americans,
Jones. Kiviat.- Sheppard and Tabor.
each of whom was counted a record
breaker in the event. That the young
Englishman, Jackson. who provided
this upset to the American plans.
would be able to repeat his victory If
the same men met again. is doubtful.
On the day the race was run. how
ever. the judgment, speed and STAN
ina were all with the Britisher. and
he must receive credit for restoring
to England the supremacy at this dis
lance. which S~heppard's victory in
1908 placed. with America.
The defeat of Jones Is explained
by cables since the race that he is
in poor condition and had to forego
competing in team races for which
he was looked upon as the mainstay
Of the American team.

1t is becoming more generally un-
derstood every day now that the
International League is likely to have
clubs in the major league circuit next
season. Brooklyn and Pittsburgh are
the cities mentioned.
To get the teams in there it will
not be necessary to have a war. for
it is understood that the International
League has a tacit agreement with
the big fellows to that effect, be-
ause of their refusal to enter into
a war with the American Association.

Jersey City ball park will not be
available mex year. and that the club
will be transferred to Brooklyn This
would be agreeable to everybody and
could be made so to President Eb-
