favorite. King Charlie was the good
thing III the second division, and Fair

the American Trotting Association, took
the first heat. Then Rose D.. from the
Indiana half-mile zone. asserted her

Of the New Yorks. both pitchers; Haley,
a catcher; McNally, an iniielder. and
Shorten, an outfielder. They were sent
to the Providence Internationals dur

BRESNAHAN'S WORDS
PROVE PROPHETIC

NEW YORK, September 23.-
How prophetic the words OF
Roger Bresnahan! Last spring,
on his FIRST cnil to New York.
Roger headed the National League
procession with his Cubs. The
Giants were In the ruck.
"You cant fool me-" said Roger.
'.The team I have to beat out In
this race Is that Of Mctiraw."
Roger never made more
truthful statement. He has to
bea+ out the Giants to keep from
the cellar. Instead OF the Giants
climbing up to the Cubs, the Cubs
tumbled down almost to the New
York level. That tumble is the
only one involved In the case.
Certainly the fms are giving
neither the Cubs nor Giants
tumble just now.
