The entry list is one Of the best
brought out in connection with a race
program across the river.
Interest Is centering in the outcome
Of the 81 500 event for 2:17 trotters.
Larger amounts than ST. 800 have been
raced for, but it is very doubtful if
classier field OF trotters were ever be-
fore entered in an earIy-season race
and it is the consensus OF opinion that
the winner Of the 2,17 trot on the
opening day will be the outstanding
trotter of the west.

For First Time in History Of Game
S0x and Whales Both Call OF
Double Header.

Chicago, July 26.-For the first time
in the history Of major league base
ball in Chicago two double-headers
were called of yesterday with the sun
shining on dry fields. Because OF the
Eastlaud disaster President C0miskey
Of the White Sex called OF the twin
bill with the New York Yankees, and
President Weeghman of the Whales
likewise postponed until today the tw0
games scheduled with the Baltimore
FederaIs.
The pOstpOnements were announced
early in the day TO the newspaper OF
fees and ticker companies. but, de
spite this, thousands of fans marched
on the parks about noon, only to be
confronted with announcers that there
were no games. AT the South Side
park announcers were stationed on
Wentworth avenue, az the intersection
of Thirty-third and Thirty-6fth streets,
tagging the patrons as they alighted
from the surface cars Other fans,
park bound, did not try TO get near
the gates when they saw the flags dut-
tering at half-staG over the diamonds.
The fact that Acting Mayor Moor
house had requested certain amuse-
ment enterprises to discontinue per
.lormances may have had some weight
with the club owners, but neither
President Comiskey nor President
Weeghman was disposed to play, and
It then hinged on the acquiescence Of
the visiting managers. No difficulty
was encountered in either case, al
though big crowds were assured at
both parks,
AS there was no game on Saturday
at Weeghman park, one game with the
Baltimores win have to go over.

lose their belongings. They have lost
everything else on this jaunt, the rec
ord reading 10 defeats and four wins.

loudly on the last visit here when the
