He did more than his share of the
hard labor. Cavsnagh. who had Law
son as a partner. didn't get cent.
Lawson afterward said 1t didn't seem
possible that man could ride fifty
miles and not get a prize. Lawson
was congratulated on all sides for
his able efforts, but he said it was
money he was after. Cavanagh was
in the race throughout, but he was
rarely heard from. However, there
were several who were not heard
from in the race who shared in the
prize-money afterward.

In putting on a record trial for the
amateurs as well as for the pros,
General MaeFarland gave the fans
an opportunity to judge for them
selves how the two classes compared.
The best time made by an amateur
was four-fifths of a second slower
than the best time made by a pro.
Both Harry Kaiser, the new amateur
champion, and Donald MoDougall,
the old amateur champion, tied with
JIG 3-5 seconds Not a few thought
that McDougall and Kaiser were
faster men than several of the star
pros, but it isn't so. Maybe after
these boys get In the professional
ranks they will develop, but just now
they do not class.

. The Boston Braves are going right
after the New York Giants as if they
had nothing to fear. With Rudolph
in the box, the Braves beat the
Giants yesterday just like breaking
sticks George Stallings was in a
happy frame of mind. He has great
confidence in his men, but is not
claiming the pennant as yet. He
knows it Is a long way off to the
end of the season, and he knows he
hasn't such a wonderful ball club. On
paper his team doesn't look so very
good, but with stallings on the bench
driving them they manage to score
the victories. The success of the
Braves is pleasing to the many New
ark admirers of stallings, and as this
is open day for the Newark club a
large number of fans are sure to take
in the game in the Polo Grounds this
Take the whole Boston team, look
1t over and figure it out, man for
man, and it doesn't seem to amount
TO much But then, add Stalknes
and there is a different aspect. What
the Braves will do against the Giants
in the series is hard to imagine, but
they have won the first game, and
of the other two they might get one
of them It is Matty's turn to pitch
today for the Giants, and that means
trouble, of course, but Stallings and
his clan may be able to beat Jeff
Tesreau the following day. Stallings
is no doubt delighted at the way his
club is going ana at his break in for
tune, but he is not jollying himself
about any remnants just yet. 1t
would be the browning glory of his
life to win the flag and to win the
worlds championship. He is on the
road to both big goals, and the best
that Newark can say is, Good luck
to him."

party and have not been heard from.
