Caught at Last.

When Lcochares, one of the. best two
year-olds OF the season, annexed the fifth
race, which was at FIVE and a half fur
longs. 1t was announced that the young
ster would be sent into winter head
quarters. Leochares was slow to begin,
and was taken around the field by Jockey
McCahey. In the meantime Briar Path
and Tarts were having a duel from the
barrier, but the latter was finally raced
into submission, and 1t looked as il Briar
Path would win until caught by Leo
chares in the last couple Of strides. Tarts
managed TO last long enough to finish
third.
What a difference the last stride makes
applies to the finish of the second race,
which was at mile and forty yards. An
other jump at the finish would have re-
turned Troy Weight a winner instead of
O'Em. who got the decision by the scant-
est of noses. Spin was a length back of
Troy Weight to show. The early pace was
set by Spin, who tired on the far side of
the track
O'Em then assumed the lead and re-
tanned il until the wire was reached.
Troy Weight made strong dash for the
winter feed in the last sixteenth, and beat
Golden Castle by length to show. Gold

Fred Mulholland's Win Is Most
Thrilling Of All.

BALTIMORE, Nd. November - The
closest set of finishes of fiat races to be
staged during Marylands fall campaign
of the sport occurred yesterday al Pim-
leo. There were five events, and each
was won by nose, head or neck Each
race was a thriller and brought applause
from the spectators. This is how they
finished:
First race-Virile, nose; Lawsuit neck;
Lace.
Second-O En-, neck; Troy Weight.
Third-Ivabel, neck; Joe knight. neck;
Yellow Eyes.
Fifth-Leochares, head; Briar Path.
Sixth-Fred Mulholiand. neck: Henry
Hutchinson.
There were other exciting moments. but
perhaps Fred Mulhollands victory in the
last race was the most thrilling. Last in
a field of seven starters at the half-mile
post and at least a doze:. lengths from
the leader Jockey Butwell started his
ride on the old fellow.
Rounding the far turn of the mile and
forty yard race, Fred Mulholland slowly
worked his way up and when the turn OF
the home stretch hove in sight Butwell
took Mulholland through an opening to
the rail. From then on Mulholland ran
as he never ran before, and when the
wire was reached he beat Henry Hutch
inson by neck with Colonel Cook two
lengths away.

All Dope Upset.

Before the race public sentiment seemed
to surge to Colonel Cook and Henry
Hutchinson, but the wise followers Of the
ponies did not hesitate to let Mulholland
carry their money. The Squire was away
first, with Lord Wells close up and Col
onel Cook third The two leaders began
to fall back on the far side and Henry
Hutchinson got in a commanding posi-
ton. The Kraft horse did we'll for the
remainder of the distance until Mulhol-
land upset all dope.
The most popular victory of the after
noon was when Ivabel led the field home
in the third race, which was at six fur
longs. Incidentally, the victory proved to

requisites of a big Lacquer.
Few good hitters have been manufac-
tured Like poets, painters and other
artists, they are born, not made. The
latent talent lingering there is to be de-
veloped. To continue along the McGraw
line of thought the manager of the Giants
has built base ball club out of lot of
batters, and has won pennants with 1t.
There are certain faults a batter can
correct that will improve hitting.
The cardinal sin of batting is stepping

The recruit walks up to the plate and
the acid test is usually applied first The
manager directs the pitcher to "shoot a
fast one at his beam" If the man steps
back from the plate he at the same time
steps back from the lmelight, because
his chances of big league associations go
with the foot.
He puts one foot in the water pail is
the verdict of the manager. and it is the
players death warrant for fast company.
Suppose, however, that he is clumsy in
the field and handles the ball awkwardly,
but when he comes to the plate he steps
up toward the bean BALI and ducks only
his head after he sees that 1t is not going
to break and curve over the plate.

Larry Doyle was far from a polished
performer at second base when he joined
the Giants, but one look at him in action
at the bat was enough for the keen-eyed
McGraw. The Giants often tell of what
the New York manager said after Dan
Brouthers, the scout. had brought his
find to the Polo Grounds.
There's a guy that's hitter" re-
marked McGraw. "He falls away on his
back and hits them. 1t won't make any
