TO SET NEW RECORD
Heavy Hitting Nap Has
Worked Many Wonders
With Bat This Season.

Joe jackson has ,ht 400 or better on
four diamonds this year, the fields being
those Of Cleveland Chicago. Detroit and
Boston. At home the SlugginG Southerner
piled up an average OF AL; IN the Windy
City his record was .4f9. and in Detroit
and Boston 1t was an even 400. Jackson,
on his visits to st. Louis. has walloped
the sphere at .30S clip: at the Polo
grounds his record is S35, and at Shibe

in Cleveland this year, and he only has
been at bat twenty three times, the ex-
tremely high percentage of .694 being the
Johnson and company. Jackson collected
FIVE hits in the two full games the Idaho
phenom pitched against the Maps In
Cleveland, and his percenta sc for the sea-

first cruel blow the Southerner struck
was in the game OF May 10 with the Bos-

STRONG HORSES ARE

Turf Writer Says Govern

From Whisk Broom.

The sparkling performance of Whisk
Broom II in the Suburban handicap,

pounds, in two minutes, has made the
blood of the owners, breeders and
trainers Of good horses all over the
country tingle with excitement, graft

strates to all those critics who depre-
ciate the qualities of the modern thor
oughhred that the American race horse
is still supreme and the peer OF any
horse on the face of the earth today,
when it comes TO speed, endurance and
weight carrying abilities. A mile and
quarter in two minutes is equal ex-
.actly to fifty-five feet per second for
every second of the two minutes, writes
@. X. Brossman TO the Cincinnati En-.
quirer.
What gruelling, heart breaking CON
test it must have been, and it shows TO
what perfection the art of scientific,
careful breeding has attained in this
country When we can produce an an
imal with all of the desirable qualities
with which Whisk Broom III is en-
ance and the ability TO pack weight
over q distance OF ground.
IL must be remembered that 1t has
taken over 300 years TO develop the
Thoroughbred from an Arab, Turk or
Barb pony OF about fourteen hands
high to itg present state of perfection.
Careful selection OF the fittest. deter

Braves Task Commendable.

In gaining a few rounds on the ladder

have accomplished task that well might
be considered more wonderful than cnch-
ing a second American league pennant

clever enough TO appreciate the point and
pay tribute where tribute is due, But
the Boston situation OF the American
league furnishes a moral which many OF
our meddling promoters might well take
TO heart One thing Is to leave good
enough alone; another that II Is far easier
to destroy n finely attuned mechanism
than TO overhaul and rebuild it.
Everybody said year ago that the
Boston Red SoN were the luchiest world $

they were, but they certainly had some
