Garbage Beats Older
Horses in Fast Time

largely on his own courage, as little
Ryan appeared to offer no help worthy
of the name. The youngster showed
excellent judgment IA laying of tic
early pace, but seemed TO be all ut
sea when Garbage ra.ei up to Thorn
hill nall way down the stretch.
The Hastings colt, however, was
none too willing for a battle, and after
drawing out again for a few strides
he began to hang. and Garbage, run
ming gamely, beat him to the wire by
good half length.
Figinny, which looked as fresh as
the day last spring when he ran so
we'll in the Metropolitan Handicap,
showed plainly that he has gone back.
He was never a serious contender
Steward, the little negro jockey, en-
ioyed field day. He rode three VIM
ners in four mounts and walked away
after the last race with that never
come-off brand of smile. His teeth
are shiny white.
He began by nursing home Uncle
Jimmie, the prince of cutters, IN the
first race and followed this up by
getting Miss Cavanagh and Gnat to
the judges in front. The boy Is I'M
proving steadily and With more eX-
nerience is almost sure to develop into
good race rider.
The Greentree Stables Nirile tried
to take TO the woods" in the selling
race at one mile and a furlong. lie
bore out badly in the run up the back
stretch, and Turner had to fight him
most of the way to make him run
straight. Even with this handicap,
however, he beat Spearhead and Easter
Star, his only opponents.
Gaelic beat Headmast and Athena
in their last meeting in spite of two
ringbones and with Athena handl-
capped by dragging the bull whip Of
the assistant starter, which caught in
her tail, all the way.
Both turned the tables on the Celt
colt in the third race, yesterday, with
a difference of five pounds in their
favor, Headmast drawing out in the
last sixteenth TO win comfortably.
Bull whips in the hands of the as
sistant starters, by the way, have been
abolished by the stewards since the
incident mentioned. A number of
complaints had been made and the
danger of them was brought forcibly
home in that race.
The fall meeting at Belmont Park
will come to an end this afternoon.
but lovers Of the sport can count on
five more days next week at the En-
pire City track, beginning on Tues
day. According to Herman Conkling,
the secretary, there will be 10 lack
OF horses.
Before the racing begins to-day the
Powers Hunter Company will sell a
number of horses in training the
property of the Brookside Stable,
David Stevenson and Frederick John
son.
Among the horses to be offered are
Gaelic, Embroidery. Andrew NJ, Co.

Giants Gain Ground
as Reds Fall Again
BRAVES BATTLE TO
A THINNING TIE
Doak and James in Fine
Fettle and Each Team
Makes One Run.

Boston. Sept. 1S.--The Braves and
the Cardinals battled to a twelve-inn-
ing tie this afternoon. The score was
TO /. Bill James and Bill Doak were
the opposing pitchers and both were
in rare form. Boston led until the
eighth inning, when the Cardinals
rallied and tied. the score.
Indeed, James was lucky to limit
them to a single run in this inning, and
he would hardly have come through so
lightly if it had not been for some
extraordinary support. A hit by Jack
Miller drove home the tieing run.
Boston took the lead in the sixth
inning, when with one out Moran drew
pass and came home on Johnny
Evers's two-base smash down the right
field foul line. Evers advanced to third
on an infeld out, but was caught try
ing to steal home. In the eighth, with
one out, Doak drove a clean hit to left.
Dolan drew 4 base on balls. Higgins
singled to left, but Connolly got after
the ball very fast and managed to hold
DOak on third.
Magee laced fierce drive at Schmidt,
but the big first baseman made fine
pickup and an accurate thrown TO the
plate, which caught Doak. Jack Miller
singled to left and Dolan scored, but
Connolly's great throw to Gowdy nailed
Higgins. Connolly starred again in the
ninth, when he caught long drive by
Wilson which seemed destined for a
three-bagger or home run.
The score follows:

CAPTAIN L. B. Cassatt's Garbage,

Springs to be talked of as probable
factor in the Futurity, ran a fast
mile at Belmont Park, yesterday, and
incidentally beat three older horses
ThOrnhill, Figinny and G. NJ. Miller
in the all-aged handicap.
1t was the first day this year that
two-year-olds had been asked to go
that distance and two undertook the
task in different races. The Montpe-
lier Stables Northern Light failed to
get in the money with lot of cheap
maidens in the second race, but Gar

Thornhill sure winner, but ran the
mile in 1887 2-5.
The Aeronaut gelding conceded ff-

SUPERBAS BID
CUBS FAREWELL
Chicago Team Departs
RunlesS, Thanks to
AitChiSOn.

The Brooklyn Superbas babe farewell
to the Chicago Cubs for the season of
1914 at Ebbets Field yesterday after
noon. Some nine hundred spectators
were on hand to assist in the cere-
monies, which were carried through
without a hitch. The Superbas won in
a nip-and-tuck struggle fraught with
interesting incidents by a score of 9
too.
Raleigh Aitchison and Larry Cheney
fought out a battle of their own, and
honors rested with the southpaw. The
Cubs got seven hits, but these were
well strewn along the lines. In the
second inning Schultz and Corriden hit
in succession, and Sweeney sacrificed
them to third and second. respectively.
Archer struck out and Dick Egan threw
Cheney out at first. Egan's effort was
perhaps the best play of the game. He
made a swift pickup and lightning
thrown to first just in time to get his
man by an inch.
1t was more because the Superbas made
the best of their two chances score
rather than any weakness on the part
Of Cheney that victory favored their
arms. Only eight hits were made Off
the big Southerner, but half of these
were punched in the fifth and sixth
innings.
Frank Schultz apparently is as young
as ever. At any rate, the peach planter
made three hits. One of these was 4
triple in the ninth inning and with only
one out. He was left stranded, how
ever, for Corriden famed and Cutshaw
threw out Sweeney. Gus Getz played
spectacular ball at third base, handling
his half dozen chances in first class
style.

Bath House on May Shore.

Again this season lie Beau Lac clubs
bathing house on the beach is
being much used by the young people.
This bath house was built two years
ago. on land given the club by C. A..
Darling and through the popular
subscription of club members the house
was built at a cost of over $3.50. The
house is fitted with 20 lockers, on each
side. the owner of lockers having a
key to the bath house. The rental is
only two dollars per season for
locker and it is certainly value
received. The beach where this bath
house is located is exceptionally fine,
and takes so gradual slope to deep
water that it is comparatively safe for
children. however you will find usually
that there is some adult there, and
danger is removed to the minimum.
1t has been contemplated doing some
work about the grounds of the bath
house. putting out some park benches,
and other general improvements. The
wharf, which has to be pulled in shore
in the fall on account of ice, will again
be put out this week as will the diving
float. To be sure of securing a locker
this season. you should see DIR. F. R.
Hastings at once.

OUR GRANITE INDUSTRY
Already Largest Employer of Labor and
Has Largest Payroll of Any Single
Industry in Town. Bright Pros
pect for Future.

To be of real value, every new thing
or enterprise must pass through its
experimental stage, and very often
those things though the most worthy
become failures. while others with
apparently little merit become the
actual successes. Our granite industry
has been passing through just such a
crucible, and today has not been found
wanting and promises to be one of the
towns leading industries if not the lead
ing one. Five years ago the more opti-
mlstlc of our townSrnen predicted busi-
ness future for Barton granite, while the
pessimists smiled, but those five years
have shown us that the optimist was
right, and today the granite industry
OF our town employs larger number
of men and has larger pay roll than
any other singe industry in the town,
and it is still in it's very early
childhood.
THE QUARRIES
There are three or four quarries
owned by as many individuals, but up
to the present time, only one of them
has actually produced granite in any
considerable quantities. The Fisk
quarry was worked only short time
and while the stone quarried there is
not adapted to certain work there is a
| market for the stock and it will be
further developed some day in the near
future. The Damon quarry seems to
contain some excellent stone. but
neither that nor the Gary quarry have
been worked to an extent that has
actually shown their real value, but
the Barnard quarry, which is now
fn
Charland. is being worked every day
and with a modern equipment. Last
fall the electric power was carried to

man with a pneumatic drill can drill as
many holes as could formerly be done
by twelve men. also by using the
Lewis drill for deep holes, shelves of
granite containing hundreds of tons

record for any quarry in Barton, the
main quarry is over 400 feet long and

to be drawn to the sheds or the cars.
Mr.. Farquharson, the foreman at the
quarry, is a practical granite man,
