PADDOCK NOTES FROM
THE LAURAL TRACK

Little Nearer. the winner OF the How
ard stakes, had outworled any horse at
the Laurel track with the exception Of
Andrew MilIer's champion. Roamer. and
the ''cIockers" had him up their sleeve,
but the general public knew nothing OF
Little hearers prospects. John Whalen,
who trains the horse, advised his iTlenos
10 have a bet on his racer to show, but
would not advise them to go him straight.
Even Little hearers fast trials did not
make whalen confident, for Little Near
er's performances in public have been
somewhat erratic.
The public is getting accustomed TO the
mutiels and every day sees gradual
increase in the amount Of money handled.
More than $4,000 was taken in by the
ticket sellers yesterday. That the argu7
ment against the machines on the ground
Of short prices is not tenable has been
demonstrated every day. The prices yes
terday in all the races were good, and
Little Nearer paid the second highest
price Of the meeting.
The results Of the worlds series base
ball will be posted on a blackboard to
be displayed in the inield. The score
will be received by special wire by in
nings.
Price Mckinney. Of Cleveland, one of
the principal owners of the Laurel track,
with Mrs. Mckinney and James Corri-
gan, a partner of Mr. Mckinney in the
ownership of one of the largest Kentucky
breeding farms. was shown over the
grounds by Harry Breivogie. assistant to
Manager-NVinn. 1t was Mr.. Mckinney 5

owner Of the great sire Ultimus. whose
son, Last Coin, owned by James Butler,
has not met defeat this season. A num-
Der of yearlings by Ultimus, Mr.. McKin-
ney said, are among the finest-looking
colts on the farm. He will keep these
colts himself and race them next year.

Society was out in force again yesterday
and the clubhouse was a brilliant sight.
For the benefit Of those who do not
know, all the numbers opposite the
horses ending in No. l are the handi-
capper's choice and are picked to wfr
the events.
A quick glance at yesterdays program
shows that four horses-Be. Royal Mar.

FANS ARE OPPOSED TO
INTENTIONAL PASSES
Most Rooters Do Not Like Practice of
Pitchers Giving Base on Balls to
Heavy Hitters in Pinches.

The fans who are opposed to the prac-
tice of pitchers giving intentional passes
TO batters seem TO be perfectly in ac-
cord with the suggestion made recently
that a batter be allowed two bases when
ever the pitcher purposely gives him
a base on balls.
The opponents OF the intentional pass
idea declare that this practice robs the
game of some of its thrills. They feel
that whenever a heavy hitter comes to
bat in a pinch they are robbed of pos
