PHILA. WIN

TORONTO, Can, Aug. 21.-In the
opening match of their tour the
cricketers representing the German
town Cricket Club easily defeated the
Rosedale Cricket Club here yesterday
by an inning and 95 runs. AT all
points of the game the Rosedale men
were outplayed, although the team
was considered a strong one. There
was a delightful change In n
weather from yesterday, and a full
DAYS cricket was enjoyed. Against
the bowling of P. H. Clark and +. A.
Greene the Rosedale batsmen Jared
disastrously in their first inning, and
only one man reached double figures.
Bell scored 10, and finding it exceed
ingly difficult to do so. The bowling
of Clark and Greene vas almost I'M
and they We're backed up by
good fielding. Clark came u with
six wickets for 10 runs and Greene
took four for 10.

to centre 1t looked like a rally was
surely in progress. Seymour came In
fast and took the bingle on the first
hop. Stock WAS held at third by
coacher. Seymour saw this at a
glance and carefully shot the ball
coward first base.
Truesdale had made the turn. be-
lieving that cy would throw home.
When Cy got the ball Truesdale
started back toward first base on a
jaunt. Swacina saw the ball coming
his way but scarelessly stepped to
one side and took 1t on the bouncing.
The surprised runner. Stock, stood
spellbound on third base all the
while. Swacina's part of the act was
as necessary as Seymour's careless
attitude. Had either moved quickly
Stock would have been alert and
scored, and Truesdale would have
slid back to first in safety. McCabe
singled a moment later scoring
Stock. but the danger had been
averted by taking Truesdale off the
sacks. /,
Smith picked a runner off first base
the same when Jameson batted for
Beebe in the first game and walked.
Jameson is as1eft-handed hitter and
Stallings noticed that the offside bat
ters bothered Enzmann more than
the right-handed hitters. The score
was close at the time and Smith
took a shot to Swacina, catching
Jameson ~iatfooted.
.Cy Bafger, who was held in readi-
ness to finish the second game yes
terday in case Lee wobbled, was able
to gain an extra days rest by Lees
clever work, and is prepared to give
the Bisons a merry battle this after
noon. Cy is delighted to return to
the International League circuit and
hopes to equal Bells record. Buffalo
has Ducky Holmes and Bob Ewing
ready for today's game, which is the
last Of the Newark-Buffalo string
of twenty-five scheduled contests
comprising the seasons series. New
ark has captured eleven of the
twenty-one contests played and can
not get worse than even break on the
string, whether a win or a lose Is
the result of today's combat.
Fullenweider, Beebe and Hight were
sent in the box for the Bisons in the
initial encounter to check hits and
runs. but they might just as well
have been commissioned to check the
flow of the Niagara River. The open
ing half of the double card was a
slaughter, the Tigers making twenty
two hits. Johnny Enzmann allowed
seven hits, Buffalo's two runs being
the result of a single by Bues and
Beck's wallop over the right field
fence, a feat that is rarely seen here
Buffalo got its lone run in the
second game through a bad throw
by Vaughn in fielding Stocks
%grounder to Swacina. Stock was
pinch-hitter and eventually reached
the home plate on singles by Trues-
dale and McCabe. The Tigers picked
up two tallies in the second inning
of the second game. Billy thinner
man lifted the sphere over the left
field fence, Gagnier singled and Lee
tr1pled. Seymour's double in the
third and Swacina's single and a dou-
BILE steal let in Cy. Singles by Eddie
Zimmerman, Lee and Vaughn netted
the final point in the fourth.

Emil FriOI to Appear in
Last Match Race Tonight

The last race meet before the start
of the worlds championships will be
run at the velodrome tonight. This
will be the last dress rehearsal for
the big event and all of the embryo
champions are right On edge. Emil
Friol, the great French Splinter, and
All Grenda, the Australian champion,
will perform in a French style match
race and Frank Kramer will be seen
in open competition in the two-miie
national championship. Jimmy Nor
an, Percy Lawrence, John Bedell and
Ernie Pye, all aspirants for the
worlds motor-paced championship,
will battle in a ten-mile paced race,
which will be run in heats.
Donald McDougall, who has a
strange hold on the amateur cham
pionship of America, will ride in the
final race of the championship series.
The rank and file in both classes will
compete in all of the event and will
try to toss the champions, coming n
past, into the discard.
Grenda is in great shape and he is
confident that he will beat Friol. He
saw now al dtlci oioPooCN VI thO
Frenchman and he will ride him in
the same way. Yesterday h big
fellow tore off a sprint that looks
like a winner and he is riding faster
than at any time since he has been
in America. His defeat by Friol in
their first match was a great dis
appointment to the Australian cham
pion, who conceded Kramer to be his
only superior. If he can turn the
tables on the Frenchman tonight 1t
will be very sweet.
Friol is o worrying in the least
about Grenda. He beat him once n
he says he can do the trick again
The European rider did win the first
match with Grenda in a o deci-
sive manner and he is warranted in
feeling confident, but it will be a
different Grenda who will face him

Jockeys of Olden Days
Compare with Motorcycles

A similar comparison a be made
between the jockey of yesteryear and
the motorcycle jockey of today. With
the disappearance of the boy who
piloted the thoroughbreds around the
track, his place is being taken by
another form of riding that requires
more grit, more skill and about an
equal amount of judgment
There are a great many things in
general that would remind one of the
other. For instance the boy who did
not carry much weight, had a strong
arm to guide his mount. a sense of
judgment that would enable him to
go to the front at the right time and
a great amount of nerve, generally
made a good jockey. All these quail
iications are needed to be a good
motorcycle rider.
Sitting in the grand stand and
watching the boys circle the saucer,
jockeying for positions. drawing out
of pockets and coming into the
stretch. you can see all the old meth
DDS used by the Jocks we watched
in former years as they guided their
mounts around the track on Subur-
ban Day, Futurity or any day that
we had the necessary to hop a car
and get there. The difference in the
ways the motor boys live is very no
ticeable. Instead of seeking the
bright lights. the champagne sup
pers and chorus girls, as most of thu

IS WASHINGTON?|
Senators Not a Mistake This
Year; Real Ball Club, Says
Crit the Usually Silent One

realized that the Washington inheld
real star infielder, George Mcbride,
to build around.
l decided that Morgan, a third base
man, would not do at that position,
so / shifted him to second. Eddie
Foster. a star at short, was sent to
third. These youngsters have justi-
fed my confidence, and If not stars
today, will be in the near future.
First base doomed as the one big
problem. Washington for the first
six weeks looked no better than a
second division club to me. ] fig
ured a good first baseman would
round it out. Folks thought l was
crazy when l paid $4,000 for Chick"
Gandil, but he changed the Nationals
from a second division club n q
pennant contender. Gandil 0 is
the best first baseman in the Amer
lean League, If not the majors.
Another reason for Washington's
rise is the catching department. John
Henry and Eddie Ainsmith nave no
superiors, while AL Williams is a
mighty good extra receiver. OF curse
Johnson is the star of the pitching
staff, but Bob Groome, Tom Hughes,
Carl Cashion and Jim caughan are
pretty fair pitchers.
Why is Washington? Because il is
a high-elass ball club: a team that
has confidence in its ability, that is
always willing 70 takeka chance; a
team that never quits until the last
man is retired.

MILLER HIGGINS
TO MANAGE. CARDS

ST. LOUIS, Aug. s1.-The real
reason for the blocking of the deal
sending Miller Higgins to Cincin-
natl. according to a well-defined ru-
NOR existing here. is the desire of
Mrs. Helen Britton. owner of the St.
Louis Nationals, to have Higgins
eventually stay as manager of the
club.
Mrs. Britton also favors Higgins
over Bresnahan, believing that Bres-
nahan, with the fine start he had
last season, has not made good this
year. She Is also reported to be
displeased because OF Rogers init
macy with McGraw in the proposed
tour of the world by the Giants. The
blocking of the deal. it is said. was
a diplomatic hint to Bresnahan to
sever his connection with the club
and allow Mrs. Britton TO negotiate
with Higgins.

Because of his victory over O'Keefe
in their previous bout Cross is a

the other bouts. Battling Wantig,

preliminary these lads put up the
greatest bout witnessed at the local
club this season, not even barring

tonight. If Friol is defeated in this
race tonight he will go in the worlds
championship minus a whole lot Of
confidence. But if he is returned a
winner he will feel himself again and
will TAXI a lot of beating in the bat
tie for the worlds title.
Kramer Will compete in the cham
pionship only and he will meet the
strongest field Of riders that has OPP
posed him this season. The title is
his already. but he will try to annex
this race just the same. Grenda is
the runner-up in the championship
and his position is also safe. The
only position that can be changed
third place. Several riders a jump
into third position, but it will take
a win to do it.
Little McDougall is worrying about
the championship race tonight. He
is more than anxious to win, not
hat he needs the points to win the
title, for that is dangling at his belt
already, but he is DESTROYS of estab-
fishing a record by winning every
championship race. He has won the
five title races hat have been run
and this is the last of the series.
He will, if he wins tonight, not only
be the national amateur champion.
but also the champion at every dis
lance, from a quarter-mile to five
miles.
If he succeeds in establishing this
record he will surpass Frank Kramer.
Willie Fem and Marcus Hurley, the
greatest amateur champions of the
past. Alvin LOTUS is the only rider
McDougall fears. The Providence
rider is getting better every day and
he is coming fast. LOTUS was ex-
ceptionally good in ive-mile races
last season and was rarely beaten
over the long route. If Mac is
beaten tonight Lotus will be the rider
who will turn the trick.
