crowded. BY way of Introduction,
films were shown of Walter Rutt, the
worlds champion, who is at present
in Newark. winning the Grand Prix
of Paris. Other scenes of Grand Prix
day are also shown, including Bill
Bailey, who made such Il favorable
impression in this country last year,
and who won the big race for anna
tours on the day in question. In the
afternoon the bicycle act didn't run
very smoothly, but at the night show
the turn was very good,
G.
The Futurity, the race we used to
rave about years ago when the
crowds used to flock to Sheepshead
Bay to see the Kings and Queens of
the turf strive for the rich prize, is
to be run this year, as it was last
year, at Saratoga. We are, in a way
sorry for that, for it was expected
that Belmont Park might conduct the
race. The race will also be decided
in August, instead of in September,
as in previous years.

Charley Taft still declares he owns
the Chicago Cubs which is one way
of letting the people know that
Charley Murphy is still in the game.
The Cubs, it would appear, are not
on the market, Notwithstanding the
strenuous efforts John X. Tener,
president of the National League, to
bring about a change in ownership.
Governor Tener has promised to rid
the National League of Murphy, but
it looks as if Murphy is too strong
proposition to remove. Ban John
son has said that Murphy's scalp was
an essential to the welfare of base
ball. Perhaps Ban will show the
Governor, as he has shown so many
others, how to overcome Objectionable
obstacles.
The Army Navy game is still in
the Polo grounds, where the game
! was held last year, but the Navy
would like to go back to Franklin
! Field, Philadelphia, where the game
has been held for years. Nothing
| definite has been settled upon, but
| from the way things look, the Navy
Is likely to win her point. 1t seems
shame, too, for the game at the
Polo grounds last year was The
greatest ever, and the crowd was the
largest in it's history. The affair was
! delightfully."- handled. and everybody
everybody but the Navy. which was
beaten--praised the arrangements tG
| the skies.
There seems to be camor for q
match between Irish Mahon anC
Banty Lewis, and it looks as If thu
friends of the boys would be able I,
bring them together. The bout wa:
discussed last night at the Troxle
show. and Jack Mccarthy, of Bill
Browns Gym, was on hand to offei
a purse for the contest. Nothing
positive was decided upon, but it il
good betting that the boys viii ge
together. The way Lewis polishe,
off Bobby North. his opponent, las
night has given Banty confidence, ant
his friends have become enthusiastic
Yet it would be well TO remembe
that Irish Mahon is not Bobby North
From what l know of both boys,
would think that Mahon would IA
Lewis. but that the fight would b.
! a corlxer, and that it would attract
lot of attention is not to be denied
Lewis, it is said, is willing to figh
Mahon, and Mahon is also agreeable
but Lewis may decide, l understand
to first take on Mickey Donley, VIII
is also considered a very tough fel
low among the bantamweights.
