SHILLING HAS BIG
DAY IN SADDLE

HAVRE DE GRACE, Md. Sept. Is.
The feature of yesterdays racing
was the riding of Jockey Shilling. He
had foul mounts, and brought each
Of them home a winner. In two of
the races 1t was his riding alone
which landed his mount first in close
finishes. and the horses which finished
second were probably the best.
In the second race there is no doubt
but that Breaker Boy would have
beaten Blue Thistle with the riders
reversed, but Shilling landed his
mount first by half a length. In the
third race he nosed out Coming Coon
with lima, and Glass, who rode the
second horse, claimed a foul, but II
was not allowed. Shilling's mount,
Flammarion, was much the best in
the fifth, and he vas backed down
from s to 5 to 3 to 5. In the last race
Shilling won on Sucker, at 3s to l.

meets Battling Joe Fogler tonight
at the veiodrome in a match race.
This Frenchman has pulled a couple
of sensational sprints in the races
here, but i'll fortune has marred the
majority of the heats and finals in
which he has started Perchicot is
fast, very fast, of that there is no
doubt, and Fogler will have to be
at his very best to hold this fellow.
With aeclear track and only one
rider to contend with, Perchicot can
use all of his speed to the best adj
vantage. On his riding in the worlds
event, the Frenchman will go to the
post tonight the ~favorite. He has
shown the fans a great jump and a
long, fast sprint. and as Fogler's abil-
ity Is we'll known here the students of
the game have drawn a comparison
on what they have seen, and they
are right in making the foreigner the
favorite.
Fogler rode well Sunday, and he
will be better tonight. He has been
here long enough 10Y to get the
kinks out of his legs and become ac-
customed to the low altitude. While
he may not be the victor. the Bat
tier will be in the race every second.

Fogler knows Perchicot, and he
knows how good he is. In Paris last
winter they met in a number of
races. Fogler is very liberal in his
praise of the foreigners ability. Fog

Fogler, but the Frenchman won the
majority of the races in which they
met.

totally destroyed by the recent cy-

The loss of the entire rowing equip

say Perchicot won the championship

take Friol and Hourlier all the way
