en- Stiles. on Tuesday. Murphy has no
distinctly sensational horses In his sta
bic this year-nothing. in fact. that
r. T. c., OF 1911. From what has been
learned. the notorious ringer Of last sea-
son. Jack London. has not come up 20
Murphy's expectations
But for the 2:Io trot, the racing at
Pittsburg on Wednesday would have
been featureiess. with eleven horses IN
the field and Baden the favorite. the
gray gelding OakdaIe. driven by Snow,
had no trouble in pulling down the big
end OF the 5000 purse and the silver
cup attachment. Baden was not as good
as he was at Cleveland. and only got
second money. For some reason not ex-
planned, the racing at Pittsburg. UP to
this writing. has not been Of sensational
order. The weather for the past week
has been too chilly. perhaps, for fast
work. and besides. the sudden drop in
temperature has given many horses
colds. The attendance at Pittsburg dur
ing the week was not up to expectations.

falo. where the Grand Circuit horses
perform this week, are also not easy

anazoo. and Detroit tracks are easily
reached.
