The following article might apply

One reason for the failure of the
Cincinnati Reds this summer is, prob
ably, the small amount of interest
which the players take in baseball
when off the field Very few Of the
Reds seem to care as much about the
diamond pastime as they do about
the great outside world the minute
game Is over. They don't cnthuse
about their occupation, the minute
the last putout is made they want
to fee for home. and they don't even
know such thing as baseball is on
earth till next afternoon. Councils
of war, tanning bees in which play
ers figure out new methods OF att
tack or defense are unknown among
the Reds, unless Tinker summons
them for talk. Even In this event
they do not plan out anything origi-
nal, but listen to what Joe says,
faithfully carry out his orders to the
best of their physical ability, and let
it go at that.
The old Baltimores, the sChicago

gether in the morning. and in the
evening they would discuss q dozen
different schemes for the confusion
of the enemy, and would try them out
at the first possible opportunity. The
Boston champions OF 20 years ago
were known to sit up nights mapping
out tricks OF base running and COM

HISTORIC RACE
STORY REPEATED
Defeat of Famous California
Mare, MoIlie Mccarthy,
by Ten Brock

So long as the tread of the feet
footed racer disturbs the soil of
Churchill downs turfmen will hold in
fond remembrance the early days of
racing at that historic course, when
the late Col. M. Lewis Clark presided
over its destinies.
Colonel Clark was the first president
of what Is the present New Louisville
Jockey club. and he remained In this
position until his death in the early
nineties. 1t was during his manage
ment of the great plant that the ia
nous match race at four mile heats
was run off between the then cham
pion Kentucky racehorse. Ten Brock.
and the famous California mare, Mol
lie Mccarthy.
This remarkable race was run off on
July 4. 1878, and turfmen still tell,
who saw the race, of the enormous
crowd that fiocked to Churchill downs
upon that occasion, In fact, it has long
been cited as a record throng, when
puts In comparison with the Derby
crowds of today. OF course the old
timers have overlooked the fact that
Churchill downs now Is a much more
extensive racing plant than 1t was back
back in 1878, and then. too, Louisville
is much larger city than 1t was over
80 years ago, and while undoubtedly
the Endurance stake in both 1911 and
1912 drew greater crowds than saw
Ten Brock and Mollie Mccarthy race.
the throng that saw that great match
was undoubtedly record crowd for
that day and date.

RECORD OF RACE

Manager M. j.. winn came across
the race record book of 1878, in
which Colonel Clark had inserted in.

GRAFTON of the happenings on July 4.
1878, and a description in his own
way of the great match race between
Ten Brock and Mollie Mccarthy
Until now this has never been pub
lished, and in the light of the fact
that the Endurance stakes, at four
miles. run annually over this course,
is today the most talked of race in
all America, makes what Colonel
Clark had to say of such a similar
race over 80 years ago a most inter-
esting new chapter to racing history.
1t reads as follows.
The weather for the last few days
had been wet and laundering, but the
glorious Fourth of July broke with
cloudless sky. the sun beating down
