Nobody was more thankful for the
rain that soaked the grounds yesterday
than were Shanks, Milan and Moeller.
The soil had become so hard that to
gauge the bound of a grounder was an
impossibility and to play a game was
like doing a weeks work
Today conditions were much improved
and the men were able to cavort about
this morning with more enthusiasm
than at any other time since their re-
turn from Philadelphia.
The umpires were on the job yesterday
hustling the players on and Off the field,
and, though the start was m9de later
than usual the spectators We're out of

in the past.
1t was not only a victory for W. ].

the club an opportunity to sneak up
closer to their arch rivals from Phila-

The fickleness of fandom was never
more thoroughly demonstrated than in

Chicago Federal League club. Later
he reconsidered his action and jump

the Federal League brought suit IN the

MOT0RRACETHR|LLS
CROWD--HATHAWAY
THROUGH THE FENCE

A cloud of dust, a groan from the
crowd that drowned the crash Of
rplintering wood and then a wild
rush across the track and center
field to see II Hathaway were killed;
ended the motor race at the Fair
Friday afternoon. Mr.. Hathaway
was found sitting beside his bent
racer with his cigar still held
tightly between his tech and with
out a scrach. Sunnen won the
race which was the first real
enc ever held here and was a real
honest lnjin race with no prellmin-
airy behind the stables.
AT the very start, sunnen, in his
Buick, took the lead, the Co
Devil second and Hathaway third.
On the third round, with Sunnen we
in the lead, Hathaway, who had
been clinging closely to the Co
Devil, passed the red car on the
last turn and in doing 80 skidded in.

The Go-Devil Immediately left
the track but Hathaway continued
regardless Of all effort to stop him,
because Of his wheel coming to
pieces. On the first turn of the
fifth lap, he went through the
fence and his escape from injury
seems miraculous. Because the
people rushed across the track SUM-
zen had to be tagged for fear
someone might be hit.
Mr.. Sumner had added 14O pounds
of lead to his left hand rear axle to
keep from skidding and the car,mndel
his wonderful driving, had the
race from the start, There was a
possibility that Hathaway might
pass him IL he had confined but as
the race was gone and had a full
quarter mile lead, it did not seem
probable to make up"
To the editor of the Ledger:
In the auto c held at the Mex
leo Fair it was rumored that the
races were fixed and the judges said
that we must run, a real race. II
is an evident and plain fact that 1t
surely was a race as long as it last.
ed, the fact that Mr.. Hathaway in
the Frederick car locked wheels
with the Go.Devil was purely In &C
cldent and no blame whatever could
be cast upon him. l consider Mr.
Hathaway a square and clean sports
man and as game a driver as l have
ever raced with. 1t will only be
short time until these same carr
will meet again on the Moberly tract
