FALL RACING WILL
OPEN Up THIS WEEK
Meeting at Havre de Grace
Starts Wednesday With
Bright Prospects.

HAVRE DE GRACE, Md, September 8.
With thoroughbreds arriving by the
carload almost every hour the Havre de
Grace race track begins to take on the
appearance of a successful fall meeting.
Indeed. the officials of the course are pre-
dieting that it will be the best meeting
ever held in this section of the state.
The best equines in the country will be
ready to answer the bell Wednesday.
when they will parade to the post to race
in the Havre de Grace handicap of
81 500 for three-year-olds and upward at
a mile and an eighth.
Supt. Robert \. Tucker, formerly con-
nected with important racing plants
adjacent to New York city, has the
track in grand shape. 1t is lightning
fast. Some Of the workouts of the past
few days would seem to indicate that
many of the track records will be low
cred during the meeting. Tucker is OF
the opinion that there is not a faster
course in the country. He has a force of
nearly thirty men at work on the track
now while across from the clubhouse the
new stables are almost completed.
The stake races have filled well, and
such prominent owners as August Bel
mont Harry P. Whitney, Richard L. Will
son, H. X. Knapp, H. c. Hallenbeck and
Raj Parr will participate, they having
sent either all or a part of their string
there.
There have been few improvements
made in the betting inclosure The book
makers will do the business again this
fall, as the Hartford county folk do not
seem to favor the French system of
speculation. Only reliable chalkers will
be allowed to handle the states as in
the past
The largest owner to be represented at
the meeting is II. G. Bedwell, the popu-
lar western turfman. He. has nearly
forty head of horses at the course, and
many of them will take down some OF
the races, judging by their appearance.
Frederick Rehberger. the racing secre-
tary, is as busy as a bee these days,
while Manager Edward Burke seems to
be IN all parts of the park at the same
time, seeing that everything goes along
all right and hurrying the finishing
touches.
The foremost jockeys now riding will
be on hand Wednesday. Several of them
will arrive from Saratoga and Canada
tomorrow morning. Taken all in all, this
promises to be not only great meeting
from a racing point of view, but one
that will add largely to the brilliant turf
history of Maryland.

Mr. Anderson at his best is not a player
to be trifled with, and l noticed in my
match with him that he paid little or no
attention to the other fellows game and
thought only of his own.
Golf is peculiar in many things. as
some incidents of the tournament show.
The simplest and easiest hole In the
course is the eighteenth, and Travers has
not yet played it WELL 1t seems incredi-
BILE that national champion could take
I and ) in this par J hole. Somewhat
similar instances by other players have
brought down the average of good golf
in this tournament
At last the championship is over and
the little village of Garden City will rest
peacefully once more.
The comfort Of the golfers was well
looked after Ordinarily the large crowds
are obliged to distribute themselves more
or less comfortably at various distances
from the golf course. owing to limited
quarters at the clubhouse. In this case
there was no room for guests at the
clubhouse at all, but the Garden City
Hotel, situated at the edge of the course,
amply accommodated the crowd and
gave them comforts and conveniences
that the ordinary golf club could not
provide.

CRICKET MATCH A DRAW.
Baltimore and Washington Play Tie
Game on Account of Darkness.

Darkness set in causing the game be-
tween the Washington Cricket Club and
the Baltimore Sons of st. George at Rock
Creek Park yesterday to be declared
draw. even thought the local team led,
124 to Ill.
AS to whether the game should be
called was quite a dispute, but 1t seemed
evident that DR.. Samuels, captain OF
the visitors, felt that the locals could
easily dispose of the next batters on
his team. L. w. De Motto had caught
two of the crack batsman Of the BaltlA
more team, so DR.. Samuels appealed the
game to the umpires, who declared the
contest a draw after much argument.
DIR. Samuels was top score, with 81 to
his credit, while Henry N. Bunch ana
Charlie King also gave splendid ex-
hibition OF batting. De Notes two
catches behind the wicket were Of the
most sensational type. and were justly
applauded by the large crowd present.

BATTLE TO A TIE.
Rockies of Giants and Athletics
PLAY at Newark.

NEW YORK. September S.--The Sec
ond string teams of Giants and Ath-
letics. in command of Wilbert Robin
son and Dan Murphy. battled for eleven
innings at Newark yesterday with
out reaching verdict When darkness
ended the game each team had scored
single rum the Giants tying up the
contest in the seventh inning after
the Athletics had held the lead from
the opening chapter. The exhibition
was played to increase the school fund
of ST Joseph's parish, West Hoboken.
and neither club would accept any
thing for its services.
A contest between clubs which are
due to come together in a worlds
series is unique. even when the reg
ulars are not used. and some 1000 fans
journeyed to Weidenmeyer's Park. the
home of the Newark international
League club. to see the exhibition. A
great number made the trip from New
York, evidently under the impression
that some of the regulars would he in

BY j. ED GRILLO.

That there is breach between Presi-
dent Ban Johnson and Owner McAleer OF
the Boston club as a result of the letting
management is a known fact, but it is
not likely that McAleer will sever his
connections with the Boston club as a
result.
From a most reliable source it is
learned that McAleer will merge his in
terests with those Of Gen. Taylor and
his son, John I. Taylor. thus gaining
absolute control of the club. The Tay-
lors own one-half interest in the club,
while the other half is controlled by
McAleer and Mercy. There has also
been a split between Mercy and McAleer.
and it is understood that Mercy is to
be dropped from his present position of
secretary and that McAleer and the Tay-
lors will run the club from this out.
The misunderstanding between McAleer
and President Johnson started when
Johnson publicly criticised McAleer for
letting Stahl go. McAleer contends that
he had good reasons for taking this
action and objected to JohnSons inter
ference with his affairs.
1t is said that Johnson requested Nc
Aleer to put a price on MS HoIulIlSS III
the club, which McAleer refused to do.
Being in a position where he can form
an alliance with the Taylor interests, IL
would be possible for McAieer to re-
main in control Of the club and nc
1t of the other Chicago interest which
McRoy represents.
Connie Mack is quoted TO have said
that all that ails Eddie Plank is lack
Of work 1t is hard to believe that this
is really Mack's view, for 1T has been
the consensus OF opinion for soi:ie si:l!e
that Planks failure to continue AIS
good work was the direct result OF
long career and advancing years.
A certain umpire tells this story:
plank is awfully slow in the games
he works, and I demonstrated with him
about it one day. and he came back
with this excuse:
"'Look here, I am nearly forty years
old. I can't go like these young Eel
lows. I have to husband all my strength
to 70 nine innings. and I cannot hurry.
That is probably what is wrong with
Plank. It is not lack of work, as
Mack was quoted as believing, for Plank
has surely never been allowed to take
any long rests when he was able to
pitch. incidentally, 1t is worthy OF
note that he has been worked in regu-
lar turn for the past six weeks, and

WONDER WHERE HE
GOT HIS BRIGHT IDEA

Under the heading "MOre
Americana" the London Globe
of August - prints this:
1--WE quite expected 1t. After the
discOurtesy shown to the British
golfers in the United States
charges are being circulated by
Americans that visiting golfers
from the states have not been
properly welcomed In this cOun-
try. That Is the American way;
the new version of NO case;
abuse the plaintiffs attorney
Such Incidents certainly make
one question the ultimate good
to be derived from international
sporting contests"
The "discourtesy" of one self
impressed youth was regretted
by all real Americans, who have
done their utmost to extend the
open hand of welcome and
friendship to the visitors. As for
the "charges,' no one in Amer
Tea has been found who has
heard them.

Will Face Yankees Final Game Of Series ee-Ayes Reports
ATHLETICS KNOW BOTH
WORLD SERIES PARKS

NEW YORK, September S.
One item that has not been con-
sidered thus far In prognostica-
lions anent the worlds series
is the fact that the Athletics will
be familiar with both playing
fields, whereas some of the
Giants have not even seen their
rivals park. Shibe Park has no
special peculiarities, so the
Giants Will not be handicapped
much there. The AthIetics' ad-
vantage is rather a negative one,
being largely only the absence of
disadvantage which would be
the case had they not played
against the New YOrks this sea-
son, thereby learning the odd
angles Of the right field wall.
Eddie Murphy seems to have
mastered these.

WORKING GIRLS TO
ATTEND SCHOOLS

New York. April 21.-Eight girls of
group of IS who will attend special classes
in the New York public schools and re-
.ceive their regular pay from the four
factories in which they are employed,
began their studies today This group
will attend classes this week and return
to work next week, when the second group
of eight will take their places in the class
rooms. If the present experiment proves
successful other girls will be admitted
on the recommendation of their employ
ers
The morning session OF the class today
was devoted to reading, writing, arithnne-
tic, geography and hygiene. AT noon the
girls were instructed in the prepara-
tion of economical lunches, and in the
afternoon scientific instruction was given
in the trades in which they are employed.
A feature of the work will be an effort
to instruct the girls away from the high
ly specialized division of labor for which
the factory is responsible, and as far as
possible each student will be taught
every branch of the trade in which she
is engaged.
