CIRCUIT RECORD CUT
BY FRANK BOGASA, JR.
Driven by Murphy, He PAGES Mile
in 1859 Ia, Fastest Ever
in Race.

DETROIT, September 19.-The pacing
gelding Frank Bogash. jr, driven by
Tom Murphy, proved the sensation OF
getaway day at the state fair track
yesterday. After landing the first heat
in 2.O5 it was announced that distance
was waived. which meant that Bogash
would step a fast mile. Walter Cochato
set the pace to the upper turn, where
Bogash went past him. The gelding
came through the stretch like a wild
horse, passing the wire in 1891. a new
track race record and the fastest heat
ever paced ma race o nthe grand cir
cult.
The FIT trot went five heats and was
won by the four-year-ol colt Peter
Pearl. Tom Murphy won his second
race of the day by landing the three
year-old colt Sir Marque first in the
FIT pace.

Contrary to expectations, the fall
tournament of the Bachelors Tennis
Club will have to go over until Mon
dag instead of being finished th0
afternoon. This was caused by dark
ness putting stop to the play for
the championship in the doubles yes
terday, when Doyle and Hoffman
struggled with Moore and Morgan for
supremacy. The former pair had won
two of the three sets necessary for
victory, 6-1 and GO, when darkness
called a halt Moore and Hoffman
had previous engagements for today.
and as a result it was decided to play
the match to a decision Monday after
noon. From the form displayed in
the doubles by Doyle and Hoffman it
is a foregone conclusion that the Dis
trict title will be theirs by Monday
night.

Clifton Pitcher Signs With Braves.

CLIFTON HEIGHTS. Pa, September
19.-James Burke, the young southpaw
pitcher of the Clifton Heights club of
the Delaware County League. has
signed a contract with the Boston
Braves for next season. Burke first
started to pitch in the Interborough
League of Delaware county. where he
won two consecutive pennants with
ease. This year he has been pitching
for Clifton in the Delaware County
League. He has lost but two out OF
fifteen games he pitched.

ST LOUIS, No., September 19.-If the
Nationals can continue to play the kind
of ball they have to date on the pres
emit trip there is a good chance for
them to regain third place from the
Detroit Tigers.
Jennings team will be up against
tougher picking than the Nationals for
the next few weeks. The eastern
teams. which the Tigers will be play
ing exclusively during that period. are
much stronger than the western con-
tingent which the Nationals will have
to face. Philadelphia and Boston are
pretty sure to win a majority of the
games from the Detroits. and the Ii
gers are the only real tough team that
the Griffmen will have to face on the
trip. hence there is an advantage.
In the double-header which is slated
here for today Griffith will have a hard
road to hoe. Hickey will use Weilman
and probably Hamilton, two left hand
ers who are hard to hit, while Shaw
and Ayers will probably oppose them.
But If a double victory should be at
tanned it would mean considerable adj
vance on the third position, though an
even break is more apt to come about.
Clarence Walker made two remark
able throws in the sixth inning of yes
terday's game, probably establishing a
record of throwing out two men who
attempted to score from second base
on hits into his territory. Gandil was
the first victim when he attempted to
score on Shanks' drive to left with one
out, and moment later Shanks was
victim when Morgan singled to left and
Howard made a dash for the plate.
Both of Walkers throws were right to
the mark, and the one on which Shanks
was nailed came to Agnew at the plate
on line.
Gandil should not have been sent
home, because Shanks' drive was in
Walkers hands long before Gandil had
reached third. and there was but one
out at the time.
Joe Engel will be member of Con-
ME Mack's team, which is to tour
through the country to the coast with
a team of National Eeaguers, after the
worlds series this fall. Mack request
young pitchers for the trip. and Crit
fifth picked EnSel. because he believes
that the work will help to improve

while Mitchell is nursing a sore wrist,
| seems to have been benefited by his
| layoff, for he is hitting the ball harder
since he returned to the fold than he
did at any time early in the season.
| Charles Pick, the Toronto recruit,

second base, and, while the position Is
| new to him. he handled himself very
well. Pick also made a favorable i'm
preston at the bat. He is left-hand-
ed hitter and takes nice swing at the
season closes Griffith ought to have a
very good line on this youngster.
Walter Johnson's pitching was more
like it used to be In former seasons.
He was steady and had lot of stuff.
and he seemed to have that reserve
force for which he was famed In for
mer campaigns when the Browns
threatened.
Thursday Johnson went out to the
ball park early and for fully two hours
he INDUCED in the most strenuous ex-
ercise, chasing flies and playinSt he IN
field. besides doing a lot of fungo mt.
ting. He figures that he needs a lot
of work to put him on eoge, ana ms
performance yesterday seems to bear
out the wisdom of his own theories.
Lavan, the former Michigan Univer-
sity player, who has for more than
year been playing short Tor the
Browns at various times, gives promise
of developing into real star next sea-
son. Lavan is not only playing won
derful ball in the field. but ne mas
greatly improved in his hitting, fea-
ture of the game at which he was FOR
merly lamentably weak. Lavan right
now is playing as good fielding game
as any of his famous rivals in TINS
league, and he is sure to go lot bet
ter in time.
Eddie Ainsmith caught one of the
best games of his career behind John
son. He handled his difficult delivery
perfectly and his throwing was sharp
and to the spot. What is most re-
markable about Ainsmiths work Is
the fact that he is suffering from
badly fractured index finger on his
throwing hand, yet he is not allowing
the pain which this causes him IN
handling the ball to interfere with his
work. Ainsmith was robbed of steal
home in the ninth inning. With two
out in this period, he hunted safely to
the third base line. He stole second
and went to third when Agnew's throw
ing up, he made dash for the plate
and reached there safely. Mcbride
swung at the ball after it had struck
Agnew's mitt. Umpire Evans, who
was officiating at the plate, called Ain
smith safe. but old Jack Sheridan. who
ed that Mcbride had fouled the ball.
and Evans sent Ainsmith back to third.
where he was left. The ruling was
rather peculiar one. for Evans I'M
doubtedly was in a better position to
know whether the ball had been fouled
or not, yet he accepted Sheridan's YER
sion of the incident, probably because
he did not want to peeve the veteran.

lemons instead of managing them. So
goes Frank Chance, the Peerless Lead
er. He passes along the way of Grif-
nth. Elberfeld. Stallings, Chase and
Wolverton, all former managers of the
New York Americans. The New York
club never won a pennant, but it has
canned more good managers than the
other clubs combined. Griffith won with
the White Sox, and he has done won
ders with Washington, but he could
not satisfy the Yankee management.

BY H. c. BYRD.

Judging by the reports that have
come from the various training camps
of the big university foot ball teams, it
seems that a more open and complicat
ed style of play will be used in the
great majority Of big contests this
fall. 1t appears to be the predominant
ing sentiment that the elevens cannot
worry along for three-fourths of the
season with a few plays of the simple
variety and then hope to establish upon
a firm and dependable basis enough of
change in their offense to accomplish
much against a well drilled defense.
Instead of devoting the time during the
first days of practice solely to element
airy considerations. nearly every coach
is spending a lot of his efforts in
rounding out the beginning of series
of open formations and a great variety
of plays intended to puzzle opponents
in the actual contests.
There are two reasons for this. The
first Is that it is generally realized a
more open style of play must be de-
veloped to insure a competent offense
and success against teams that employ
those tactics; second. that the big
teams are tired of running the risk of
defeat during the early games with
smaller but more highly developed
eievens. The former change was prob
ably caused by the success of certain
teams in their big games last year
with the forward pass, and the latter
by the numerous defeats in recent
years that members of the big five have
suffered at the hands of schools that
had previously been unable to do more
than afford good practice. 1t has been
difficult for the smaller teams to get
going, but by developing more rapidly
than their larger rivals they have
managed in many instances to win
from institutions twice their size. The
big schools. in order to prevent a gem
eral recurrence of the defeats sus-
tanned in that manner, are going to
push their work moro rapidly and in
