OVER 4O,OOO TO
 SEE FRlAR ROCK
 WIN SURBURBAN

New York, May 31-For the third time since the classic Suburban Han dicap was inaugurated, said time of inauguration being 1884, three year-old was the victor when the thirtieth running of the event was staged at Belmont Park yesterday afternoon. The youngster to get his name down on the lists with the great AfricAnder and the equally great Fitz Herbert, the other three-year-old winners, was F'riar Rock a, son of Rock Sand and out of Fairy Gold. The colt is owned by August Bel mont and, coupled in the betting with StromboH, who won the race last year, went to the post faVorite at to B.
 It was a rather hollow victory for the Belmont colors, for nothing in the side of The Finn, who won the Met ever, the Ha1lenbeck entry was not up to the task of picking up his great weight. There also was a question, after the evenA had been run, as to whether or not Strombo1i could have led the field.
 That racing is still one of the great est attractions for the sport-loving public was plainly disclosed. More than 10000 persons -thronged the course and it was, according to Sec retary SarIocher of the association, the biggest crowd that ever passed through the gates of the spacious park.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1s82-Char1es Nehring better known as Charlie Neary, born in Milwaukee Neary was a German n-American and a star among the lightweights and, al- though he never reached the cham pionship goal, he was a worthy pre- decessor of those other famous Teuton 1ightweights, Ad Wo1gast and Willie Rftchie. Neary's active ring career extended froM 1900 to 1908, and in that period he mingled with some of the best featherweights and light weights in the business, He knock ed out Maurice Savers in 1902, and the following year defeated Jack Dough- erty, Kid Farmer, Johnny Thompson, Kid Herman, Kid Broad and Battling Nelson. His 1904 victims included Dave Sullivan and Jimmy Briggs, but he lost to Benny Yanger and Willie Fitzgerald. He also fought three draws with Aure1io Herrera, and in 1906 knocked out the Mexican, but was himself put to sleep by Jimmy Briggs in Los Angeles. In 1907 and 1908 Neary lost to Paclxy Mcfarland and Jimmy Burns and fought a draw with Freddie Welsh.

WHEN TY COBB IS NOT HITTING DETROIT
 CAN'T BEAT ENEMY
(worcester Post )

It is easy to dope out why Detroit is in, the rut in the American League race. Terrible Tyrus Cobb is not hit ting with his usual effectiveness in pinches and, besides, old Wa.hoo Crawford is playing the bench. It has always been said by experts of Ahe game that the Junga1eers without these two lads travelling at their usual pade would be lost, and now it is be- ing dembnstrated.
 In former years, with just ordinary pitching, Hugh Jennings has had his charges on their toes and in the thick of the fight because of the fact that Cobb and Crawford were sporting big batting averages, but just now Craw- ford has made an average far below his standard in the few games he has played, and the Georgia Peach is trailing a majority Of the star bats men of the circuit.
 It is an excellent example of just what a brace of hard hitters mean to a ball club. There is no doubt about Cobb coming into his own shortly and showing up with his o1d-time form, but until lie does, Detroit will not be in the running.

.DEMAREE HALTS
 WINNING STREAK
 OF M'GRAW CLAN

Philadelphia, May 31-Shattered into g. thousand pieces, the Giants winning streak was broken here yes terday when the champion Ph1l1es toppled over McGraw's team in the morning game by a score of to l. It was not the mighty arm of Alexander that dropped the Giants dead in their tracks and blasted their hopes of es- tablishing a new record for consecu- tive victories. It was Al Demaree, the same slender youngster who start ed his big league career as a mem Der of the Giants, only to be later sacr1~ feed along with Milton Stock in a trade for Hans Lobert, a few years back. While the Giants lost, and their great drive was finally broken, it was not entirely a day of sorrow for the New York team. In the afternoon they began a fresh drive by not only defeat ting the Phillies by 10 runs to 2, but driving Alexander out of the box in five innings.
 Pol Perritt was the victim of the Phillies and Demaree in the morning, the break coming in the eighth inning after Pol had pitched brilliantly. The slippery grass around the pitcher s box had as much to do with the Giants coming a cropper as anything else.
 OOn1nS 1nCOE the 01SnCn 1nnlnS neither side had been able to score, so great was the pitching of Defnaree and Perritt. Eddie Burns was the first to face Perritt in the fatal eighth and he singled to left, >Dugey being sent in to run for him. Demaree bunted and just as Pol was about to throw to second for a force out, his foot slipped on the wet grass and the ball went wild, .Dugey going to third. The squeeze play was ordered by Nor an at this stage and Bancroft 'bunted. It was, an unexpected bunt and the Giants were caught mapping, Dugey scoring and the bait kr reaching first.
 Fred Anderson was picked out y McGraw to oppose Alexander in the afternoon game and once more the former Federal 1eaguer convinced McGraw that he was the best Federal league pitcher last season and will be one of the best in the National league this year. The PhiIlie were able to score in only one inning off Andersor-the fifth-when Cravath singled and scored on Whitted's home run.
 The Giants scored a run off Alex gle, Niehoff's wild throw and Me Kechnie's safe blow. Then in the fifth they made another assault or the offerings of the great pitcher, this time scoring four runs and causing Moran to send Joe Oeschger to face the Giants in the sixth

PITCHER VAN LOAN ON
 HAND FOR LOCAL CLUB


 The Bridgeport management is still trying to strengthen the pitching staff. Van Loan, a twir1er from Long Island, arrived this morning and Ross from Boston will report in Hartford tomorrow. Nobody appeared to know anything about Van Loans pre- vious record but Ross, who has been much sought after by Eastern clubs, has been twirling Saturday games around Boston and hasn't lost a battle in over two years. It turns out that the new first base man spells his name We're and not Ware. He has been playing with Lancaster in the Interstate league. We're was with Hartford last season in the Colonial league. The names of other neW players will be announced in a few days. One sign. of encour- agement for the local owners was the work of Johnny Reiger against Hart ford Monday.

THE PASSING SHOW

quent1y the crowds will probably be even better.
 ''Diamond'/ Dye looks as if he will be a great help to Bridgeport. The tall twfrler from Toronto has lots of stuff and if the club does any hittin g behind him he should capture many games this season.
 The uncertainty of baseball was demonstrated by the manner in which the Giants winning streak was stopped. Everybody said, Wait till they meet Alexander but it was Demaree who tumbled the Giants and Alexander proved easy. It probably gave Demaree great satisfaction to humble McGraw's men for he was sore when the Giant manager traded him for Lobert. That was a bad deal for McGraw inasmuch as Lobert never amounted to anything in New York while Demaree has pitched good ball for the Phillies.

The New Haven Journal-Courier says of the afternoon game at Savin Rock:
 Pitcher Martin of Bridgeport, wob- b1ed in the eighth inning of yester- days contest, at Savin Rock and his supporters contributed a couple of r1aisplays that, coupled with Miller's single, gave the Murlins a trio of tall lies. These three runs put the To- cal club on the long end of a to 2 score for the-Hust1ers managed to put another run across in the final inning.
 Weaver failed to show the form he exhibited at New London but he kept the hits scattered and had the situa- ton we'll in hand except in the fifth session when, after two were down, he allowed the visitors to jam the sacks on two passes and single. All three of the Hustlers .perished on the paths for the best that Ball could do was to hoist to Tierney.
 Dan Terney celebrated his ad- vance in the batting order by ,rap- ping out a pair of neat doubles, both of which counted in the scoring. shortstop Whelan made several spec tacu1ar plays on ground balls and went to the foul line for a high fly Fin the fourth.

LUCKY AND UNLUCKY THINGS

'Iucky" and "unlucky" have
come to be applied to gathering
blossoms, to horseshoes, to the col
or of hair, to your manner of "say-
ing things"-in a word, to every
possible event in life. 1t is un-
lucky to "have a dead blossom;"
it is unlucky to go with your "shoe
laces untied"-the latter we natur-
ally believe; it is unlucky to bring
''hawthorn blossoms within the
house," it is lucky to hear the
cricket"
The latter is, of course, supposed
to bring luck into the house.
Very lucky it is to find spider on
your clothes; it is called money
spinner in many parts of the
country.
Feather beds should not be turn
ed on Sunday. If your teeth
grow widely apart you will be a
traveller. If you have mole on
your back you will have money by
the sack. On the other hand, a
mole at the base of the neck
shows that "you will be hanged"
Caesar, Napoleon, Bismarck and
others were not above the super
stition of "lucky" and "unmcky"
days. Thursday was the "unlucky"
day of Henry VIII, of his son Ed
ward, and of his daughters, Mary
and Elizabeth. Isn't it strange that
they all should have died upon this
dayq But it is fact.
Anyhow, what is luck?-Answers.

IMPORTANT DECISION

Road bond elections may be held
at the regular election, said the
Court of Appeals last week, revers-
ing the Campbell Circuit Court in
the case of Frank Houston against
County Judge j. +. Boltz and the
Fiscal Court, seeking a mandatory
injunction to require the Fiscal
Court to issue 100000 in road
bonds and $15O,OOO in bonds for
the purpose of turnpikes. Neither
received two-t thirds of the votes
cast. The court held that the road
bonds required only Il majority and
the Fiscal Court has no discretion
to refuse to isue bonds. but must do
so when the people have voted them
The bonds to purchase turnpikes,
however, require two-thirds of all
the votes necessary to carry, and
this issue, therefore, was defeated.
The latter would also carry a TWEEN
ty-fve-cent levy, which is inconsis-
tent with the Section of the Consti-
tuition authorizing road bond issues.
This limits the levy to twenty cents,
and the court said no further levy
can be made until the purpose of
the levy, the retirement of the
bonds, has been accomplished.

MOTHERS DAY

The second Sunday in May is
Mothers Day. This year it falls on
May 14th. The beautiful thought
of setting aside one day in the
year to be particularly devoted to
ones mother was first suggested
by Miss Alma Jarvis, Of Philadel-
phia, who founded the Mothers
Day International Association to
provide the necessary support for
the fostering of the movement.
Thanks largely to her efforts,
Mothers Day has become recog-
nized institution as the day on
which each of us should pause to
acknowledge our debt of affection
and gratitude to "the best mother
who ever lived" on which we
should be with her if we can, and,
if we unfortunately can not, should
make a point of sending her mes
sage Of affection and cheer.
In cooperation with the effort
to foster the observance of Moth
er's Day, the Western Union Tele-
graph Company has provided spec
ial telegraph blanks, appropriately
decorated with an artistic design of
carnations and bearing the legend
'sMother's Day." on which all mes
sages of those who wish to send a
word of greeting to their mothers
on that occasion, by day letter or
night letter or in a short telegram,
will be delivered.
The emblem of the day is the
white carnation, and it is the hope
of the Mothers Day Association
that it will be worn by every one
as a tribute of respect, not only
for ones own mother, but also for
all the gentle and noble mother
hood of the land.
