Laurel, Md. Oct. 1o.-The first lap
q; the Laurel meeting is over, and
Washington turf lovers have as yet
had little opportunity to witness in
action the many high-class thorough
breds that are stabbed at the local
course. The best performers in the
country are on hand and ready to race,
tack conditions have kept them in the
harm. Roamer, Borrow, Strom boil, Peb-
bles. High Noon, Phosphor ami other
stars of lesser brilliancy are all here
and in the pink of racing condition.
but their respective owners do not care
to send them to the post over a track
as uncertain as the Laurel course has
been for the past week.
With the prospects Of clear weather
and a rapidly drying-out track, many
of these speed marvels will unodubt-
edly bear silk before the week is out.
Despite the adverse weather conditions
the Laurel association has offered
good sport during the first eight days
of the meeting and while the class of
horses racing was not high, this was
more than offset by the good contests
furnished. Considering conditions. form
was very good and the public did not
experience much difficulty locating win
ners
This weeks program opens tomorrow
with an interesting and well-filled card,
the feature number being the Blue
0p6int Selling Stakes, at five and one
half furlongs, in which juvenile platers
will perform. On Tuesday all aged per
formers will clash in the Columbia
handicap at six furlongs and worth
81 600 in added money. Many speedy
sprinters are named in this event. in

FOSTER WELL PAID
FOR MAKING HOMER

George Foster, the pitching star of
the Red Sox. once got $50 in small
change for smashing out a circuit swat.
Foster was with Houston, in the Texas
League, in 1912. The final game of the
season was played in Houston against
the San Antonio team. There was u
difference of only half a game between
the clubs. and to the winner of that
combat went the championship.
1t seemed that the entire Dopulatiou
of Houston was at that game roofing
for the home gang to beat the internally
hated San Antonio crowd Of diamond
stars.
Well, the ninth inning came along
and the score was to 0 in favor OF
San Antonio. 1t seemed to be Vii over
but the formality of awarding the muslin
to San Antonio. But!-wait! Don't gu
home home yet. There's a single from.
one Of the Houston boys,
The crowd waited-patiently but with
4 feeling of despair percolating on their
bosoms. The next man flied out and
the third batter attempting TO sacrifice,
popped to the pitcher The fourth man
poked out a puny grounder that should
have been an easy out-hut it wasn't
because the inficldcr fumbled.
With two men out. two on bases and
three runs needed to win in the finaI
inning our little hero ambled to the
plate and promptly smashed the ball
over the fence. making the final count.
Houston :. San Antonio land winning
for Houston the championship of the
league.
When Foster trotted over the home
plate he was greeted with a shower OF
silver and gold. His team mates
assisted him in gathering the purse"
that the frcnzicd fans were heaving AT
him. and when George got home ana
counted up his load of junk he founo

SIX STAKE RACES
FOR PIMLICO MEET
Distance in The Bowie Has Been
Changed to Mile and Three
quarters-Fiive Handicaps.

The Maryland Jockey Club is plan
ming for a big meeting at Pimico be-
ginning November l. The meeting will
continue for twelve racing days. and the
best horses in training will participate.
Pimlico is always a popular meeting, for
there it was that the thoroughbreds had
their home many years ago.
This fall the Bowie and five other
stakes will be run. The Bowie this year
will be a mile and three-quarters instead
of two miles, which has been the distance
every year until this The Bowie has at
tracted big list of entries and is sure TO
prove a race of great interest. The first
Bowie under the new organization of the
Maryland Jockey Club was won by the
great Fitz Herbert. with Superstition
second
The following year Everett won and
again .Old Supe" was in the place.
Since then it has been taken by Zeus,
Mission and Flying Fairy, all famous
racers.
The other stakes to be decided at Pim-
lico this fall are three serial handicaps at
six furlongs. q mile and forty yards and
a mile and a sixteenth. each with sl.c0O
added, and the Elkridge Steeplechase and
the PimliCo Subscription Steeplechase
Handicap. the latter similar to the big
race at Piping Rock to be run this
month.
Secretary Riggs announced last week
that there will be no race on the Pim-
leo program this fall of less than 500.
and this policy will make the meeting a
very attractive one for the owners of the
medium-class racers. Mr.. Riggs and his
associates considered offering two big
specials this fall with $3.50 or s.. 900 in
added money, but inasmuch as the meet
ing comes SO late, it was considered bet
ter to give more money to the owners of
the middle-class racers, which are al
ways more numerous than the top

PRESIDENTS FIANCEE
PULLS FOR PHILLIES

Philadelphia, Oct. 10.-Mrs. Norman
Calf, who is to marry President Will
son some time in the near future. is
an ardent baseball fan and if the root
ing and pulling which she is putting
forth at the game yesterday is answered
the Philadelphia team will have an
easy time in the coming games When
interviewed Mrs. Gait said, Il looked
forward with great interest to wit
Messing the games now being played and
it looked for time as though my
wish could not BE filled. I don't know
where the Presidents sympathy lies,
but ! am for the Phillies now and al
ways. Don't you think Alexander is
wonderful pitcher? His victory
proves that he will be a great aid to
his team. In fact. he will be the main
factor in their fight for the baseball
supremacy. / hope that Alexander
wins every game. he pitches" This
interview explains itself.

KEEP CLEAN SHAVEN:
PAT WAS AT GAME

Philadelphia, Oct. 10.-The whiskers
OF Pat OHara. one of the city's great
est baseball fans, which were scraped
off fter a continuous growth of fifteen
years when the Phillies won their
first pennant will sprout again IL
O'Hara is unable to see the game to-
day. Pat said yesterday that he
wasn't sure he could get off, but he
didn't succeed in fooling the boss he
with the whiskers again. Don't worry
Pat was there.
1t may be- safe TO say that Pat win
not wear the whiskers as he was able
to see the Phillies go down before
the mighty arm of Foster Probably
he wishes now that he had said the
whiskers would go II the Phillies
didn't win and Sat Moran's chances
would have been greatly increased.

DELIGHTS In
TRIMMING PITTSBURGH

Not even the world series victory can
bring to Grover Cleveland alexander half
the pleasure that comes to him in beating
the Pirates. And this is the story:
Back in 1910 Barney Dreyfuss heard
about the big Starboard hurler who then
was with the Syracuse club in the New
York State League Barney looked over
AleNander-or had one of his scouts do
it-and decided that Alexander was en-
tirely too green. SO Barney passed him
up.
Horace +. Fosel. then president OF the
Phillies. heard about Alexander about the
same time. watched him during several
games. and decided to grab him. Fogel
ingenuously ''shooed' away other scouts,
balked at paying the III; price that one
of the owners of the club asked for Alex
ander. and finally secured him in draft
for so.
Almost from his first day with the Phil
lies Alexander was a star. When mid
season came in 1911 his name was on
every tongue of fandom. And then it
was that Barney Dreyfuss won the undy
ing enmity of the great twirler.
Somebody evidently had asked Barney
why he didn't sign up Alexander when he
tad a chance Probably intimatinS that
Barney had made big error in judge
ment. Barney. to alibi himself was quot
ed in the papers as saying that he could
have signed up Alexander but he kept
Off of him because Alexander's habits
were bad.
Alexander whose habits are and ever
have been model for every youth, saw
that article. and went white with rage
when he read it. Throwing down the
paper he hunted UP President Fogel and
Manager Charlie DOOM
I'D like to ask favor he said.
What is it?" asked Fogel
That you give me permission to pitch
two out of every four games We play
against the Priates' answered Alexander.
why do you want to do that" was
asked
Because I want to beat his club to
even up for what he is publicly noted
as saying about me-
Alexander's request was granted and
the records show that over four year
stretch the Pirates have beaten Alexan-
der only two or three times. and those
Pirate victories came through Phillie err
rors.
