J. M. Black Banks on His Per-
formersto Draw Down Some
Prizes at Coming Meet.

}. NJ. Black, one of the cleverest and
most popular young gentlemen riders of
Maryland. has engaged stabIing at
Marlboro for the coming spring meet
ing of the Southern Maryland Fair AS
sociation. which begins on the Sd OF
June. to continue through the 18th, for
three smart homebred two-year-olds.
namely. Babe. Thrill. and Carl. The
tlrst-named is a daughter of MCGEE and
Tinkle. the second Is a daughter of Nc
Gee and Royal Una, and the last-named
Is son of Formaster and Bracing
Breeze. These youngsters were bred in
the neigh borhood of Washington. and
they were broken and developed by
their young owner, who is training them
this spring.
Thrill made a creditable showing at
Pimlico a time or two. although she
did not win a race and Carl has fin
ished in the money at Electric Park.
but the racing they have done so far
was intended as preparatory schooling
for the Marlboro session. where Mr..
Black Is anxious to make a credltable
showing. He has done n deal of anna
teur riding at old Benning track in the
last few years and has many friends
among the hunting set of the National
Capital.
Black believes that Carl, whose grand
sire. Brutus. was one of the most sue
cessful racehorses and useful stations
they ever had in California. will carry
his speed over n distance OF ground. He
has speed enough for al, purposes and
the smooth. easy acton of a distance
runner. The development of these three
youngsters by Mr.. Black is significant.
II proves that first-class racing at the
half-mile tracks about Washington and
Baltimore is encouraging young men to
breed thoroughbreds In Maryland.

"Zez" Milan has crawled into third
place among the hitters of the Amer

being lower than that of Joe Jack
son and Sam Crawford. mo batsman
in this league is up to $50 now, so
excellent has been the twirling. Only
eleven are in the 300 class. Chick
Gandil's jump to .2S9 is the most
pleasing thing of the week for Wash
irgton rooters. Eddie Foster is back
in the select circle, with 1902 for his
total.
The Griffmen are now third in club
batting and third in club fielding,
showing that their leading position
is not the result of a fluke. They
are also third in long hits and have
Milan and Shanks among the ten
best sluggers.
Fritz Maisel and Clyde Milan are
tied in stolen bases with totals of
fourteen. Moeller and Foster are
