was not extended in his race with
Drobach, and it is not known just
how good he is in a dual event, but
there is one thing certain, the only
American riders who have got a
chance with him are Fogler and
Frank Kramer. The latter would. of
course, have no trouble In licking
the Italian, but it is a question
whether or not Fogler can do the
trick.
The riders are discussing the PROB
ability of establishing a new RECORD
in the ten-mile open Sunday. Two
weeks ago the Eastern record was
broken in the ten-mile open, which
was won by Jackie Clarke, and last
Sunday the Eastern record for a
two-mile handicap was lowered, al
though no one was credited with the
record as the race was won by
Jimmy Moran from the l155-yard
mark. With so many good riders
here now it is figured that the mark
for ten miles viii surely go again.
The Western riders are in the best
of shape now and will make things
decidedly interesting.

The match race between JACKIE
Clarke and Andre Perehfcot. the
champion of France, which is one
of the features of the card at the
Velodrome Sunday, looks like a bear.
Both riders are flying in training,
and there is little to choose between
them. Clarke and Perchicot came
together in the semi-finals of the
double century stakes last Sunday.

victory by the French champion has
not discouraged Jackie in the least,

that he has a good chance of win

Perchieot is very good right now

Angelo Gardellin, who is to meet
Joe Fogler in a match Sunday, is

Chance Takes Issue with
Charley Murphy ON His Rules

NEW YORK, Sept. 2L-Frank
Chance, manager of the Cubs. lying
in a private hospital, still weak from
the effects OF a recent operation,
made indignant reply yesterday to
the charges of President Murphy
that loose living and training meth
DDS had lost the Chicago Nationals

guage Chance declared 1t was I'M
true that the Cubs had lost the pen
nant either this or any other year
for the reasons stated.
Il believe that l have the best be

players take a glass of beer after
the game, and / consider that bene-
fetal. None of my men ever takes
a drink in the morning or between

none of my pitchers should smoke
cigarettes, and ! think they have
lived up to this rule.
Murphy only thinks of the team
when 1t is winning. The team for
my sake plays harder when ! am

They want to finish in second place
and so do I, and | want TO meet tlft

John J. McGraw's champion Giants
einched their second consecutive Ma

noon by trimming the Boston Braves
in both sections of a double-header.
New York is now ten full games
ahead of the Chicago Cubs. The
Giants and the Cubs have each nine
full games TO play before the OFF,

and Chicago win all, the Giants
would still hold a full games ad-

in the final standing.
The pennant. which was assured
the big city fandom by yesterday :
success. Is the fourth during the
McGraw regime. The little Napoleon
won his first flag in 1904, in which
season no worlds championship took
place. In 1905 he repeated. and also
won the worlds honors from the
Philadelphia Athletics. Last year the
Athletics tool revenge for the TRIM
ming Of six years before.
McGraw's men practically won the
pennant in 1908, but a technieality
necessitated a post-season game,
which the Cubs won Much credit
goes to Manager McGraw, who drove
the team out To a wonderful lead
early in the season. Mathewson
Marquard and Tesreau, the pitchers
were also a big help. Marquard's
sensational run of nineteen victories
gave the club a runaway lead. Later
