TRENTON, Aug. Large fields
again characterized the E~wingville
races in the closing days sport yes
terday. All three events carded went
extra heats, fifteen in ali being de-
cided. The greatest event proved to
be the 2:15 pace, in which there were
three heat-winners, Barbourn Be
Sure finally winning the sixth heat,
after a driving finish with Review
Bells. Miss Bruce also furnished a
sensation by winning the 1927 pace in
five heats after finishing absolutely
last in the first heat. May l.. Dillon
won the first heat of the 2:N trot,
but could not hold the clip, and al

drives of similar proportions to their
averages.
Bert Daniels, the Yankee outfielder,
had four hits in four times up in the
game against the White Sox lyester-
day.
Josh Devore, the former local Tiger.
nov with the Giants, is still in bad
shape as a result of an attack of ton
silitis.
Bues, the Buffalo infelder. made his
second homer in as a days yester-
day. That totals his list of circuit
clouts to three for the past week.
August IL is the day set for tho
hosting of the 1911 pennant by the
Giants at the Polo Grounds. The
Cardinals will be the attraction there
on that day.
Sixteen fly balls were hit by the
Giants in the first game of the double
bill against the Reds yesterday.
b.. Harrison De Mott, the Jersey
youth, pitched for the Orioles yester-
day against the Bisons, but lost. He
allowed eight hits.
That was a tough battle for Lanky
George Mcconnell to lose to the
White Sox. The present Yankee and
former Rochester star outpitched
White.

ifIDm a FldI ABIItHYthltht~
TORONTO, Ont. Aug. 2.-Nothing
to do until tomorrow is the slogan
in the Tiger camp today, because the
schedule-makers awarded a day of
rest to the Bengals. The following
four days, however. will be very busy
ones for the Bengal band, because
Newark must play five games in
three days at Montreal, and then
hook up in a double-header with
Buffalo in T~igertown on Tuesday.
While an even break with Toronto
was a good showing for a team on
the road, the Tigers would have
cleaned up mere had they gotten the
breaks. The short right field bleach
ers had much to do with Toronto's
victory yesterday. because Collins
could have caught Shawis fly, which
fell in the right-field stand and cost
two runs. This is one of the reasons
why Joe Kelley keeps three left
handed hitters on his team, and why
Jordan gets SO many circuits swats
every year.
Harry Swacina completely outshone
Jordan in this series, and left not a
particle of doubt of which of the two
is the best first sacker in the league
in the opinion of most of the fans.
Harry shone with the stick in the
pinches again yesterday. and his
stop of Shaw's smash in the tenth
would have saved the game had Lee

by the National Baseball Commits
sion for pitching one inning for the

Clyde F. Withers Convicted oil
Negligence in Running Down
Clifton HoWes.

Found guilty Of negligence in operating
skull by his carelessness. Clyde F..
Withers was sentenced to thirty days at
Occoauan by Judge Aukam in the United
States branch of the Police Court today.
Judge Aukum gave the defendant the al
tentative of paying fine of 500 or
serving the thirty days. but Withers said
he thought he'd rather serve the term.
Withers nearly killed Clifton Howes. a
street car conductor on the 14th street
line last winter when he ran over him
as the conductor stepped from his car
near Decatur street to turn a switch.
Capt Fred Beall, Withers attorney
pleaded for light penalty on the grounds
that the defendant was the only son of a
widowed mother.
He said that the mother would not be
able to pay heavy fine Withers told
the court that the automobile. which
his mother had bought for him last
year for 1920. was now worth about
$500. There were few charges
against it. however. he said, which
would lessen it's actual value.
Capt. Beall pleaded that his client
could not stand Jail sentence on ac-
count of his physical condition.
Il want the court to act in justice to
the public, however" he said. Twice
within the last month / myself have
nearly been run over and killed by
automobilists operating in a reckless
fashion,
