BEN EARL MAKES NEW RECORD
Clips s Seconds Of Arch City Stake in Grand Circuit Races and Takes Event in Straight Heas-Giants Have Mere Chance of Capturing National League Championship Boston Preparing for Worlds Series.

Columbus. Ohio. Sept. 2e.-Within half second of two minutes. Ben Earl this afternoon at the Columbus Grand Circuit races, won the middle heat of the Arch City Stake and gave this event a new record for single heat, the best previous time for a mile in it having been 2.02- 1-4 by Frank Bogash, Jr. in 1913. and Peter Stevens in 1914. Ben Earl captured the event in straight heats.
 Diameter, original favorite in the auctions, though Ben Earl and Jay Ell Mack were backed heavily. set the pace in each heat but was unable to come home with the rush that Ben Earl displayed after sQuaring away in the stretch. Twice Jay Ell Mack fin- tshed close to the winning Omaha horse.
 Sir Anthony Garter stepped beside Diameter in the sensational second heat, the first quarter with this pair Tapped being in 30 IA seconds. The half was reached in minute flat. In half minute more. Diameter was at the threee-quarters post Just before reaching 1t. Sir Anthony Carter went to a break. All the way round Ben Earl was a good third with Jay Ell Mack right behind him.
 As Diameter turned home Ben Earl moved up and Driver Childs gave his attention to stalling off Jay Ell Mask rather than the tfring of Diameter.
 Zomrect, favorite for the 2.1S trot, had to score for the first heat in tenth position and finished fifth to Ridge mark, the second choice. In the sec ond mile Zomrect took the lead and was Tapped by Ridgemark. To the half Zomrect stepped in 1.01 3-4, Ridgemark breaking before getting there.

 Knetzer had the better of a battle with Demaree for eight innings and the visitors led by one run until one man was out in the ninth inning. Then Cravath stretched an ordinary single into a double. Cooper ran for Cravath. Chase knocked down Luderus' single. The ball rolled to Groh, who threw to Wingo to catch Cooper at the plate. Umpire Klem motioned that Cooper was out, but in sliding to the plate the runner knocked the ball out of Win go's glove and the catcher's left hand was badly spiked. Umpire KIem then allowed Coopers run. Luderus reached third on the play. Dugey ran for Lu- derus and scored the winning run when NiehoH beat out a bunt, Chase's throw to Hum, who succeeded Wingo, being a trifle late.

NEW YORK GIANTS HAVE
 CHANGE AT PENNANT.
Must Win All Games and Brooklyn Lose Seven-McGraw's Men Could Land the Championship.

The slender margin of one game still keeps Brooklyn in the van in the arueling race for the National league pennant Tbe 1eAoers had 60 win today to retain their place in front, for defeat in the face of Philadelphia's victory, the latter, by virtue of the lesser number of games it has played, would have taken the lead. Boston, winning twice. gained half a game and now stands three and one-haf games behind Brooklyn.
 Philadelphia still has nine games to play-three with Brooklyn and six with Boston; Brooklyn has remaining eight games-one with Chicago, three with Philadelphia and four with New York; Boston has eleven left-f1ve with New York and six with Philadelphia.
 The situation is such that New York in fourth place, still has a phy- sical chance if it can keep up it's great winning streak. McGraw's men are six and 9. haIf games behind Brooklyn, with ten games to play. Should they lake all ten. their record would be 91 won and 6 lost. Then if Brooklyn should win only one of it's eight, it's record would be 90 won and GA lost.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET REMAINS ACTIVE. But Trading Proceeded in More Or derIy ard Rational Manner.

New York, Sept. 26.-Trading in stocks today proceeded in a more or derly and rational manner, the sharp reversal of yesterdays final hour evil dently having a soldering effect upon the more venturesoTne speculative ele- ment. Dealings were again very large and broad, aggregating ,560,00 shares and making the seventeenth successive session in which sales have reached or exceeded the million mark.
 The greater activity was shown in the first and final hours, the former being marked by a strong opening and sudden declines, while the flag end of the session was noteworthy for the strength of rails, some of which rose to best quotations of the past year or two.
 The strength of investment issues probably resulted from some brilliant statements of railway earnings issued in theg course of the day. These in cluded the annual report of the South ern Pacific company, showing a gain in net income of over 50 per cent, and the August returns oI the Atchison road which disclosed net increase of $1,632, ,000.
 United States Steel. which continued to lead the list, was watched with especial interest because of it's abrupt decline from yesterdays record price | of 120 to below 115. On very large l transa actions Steel rose 1 1-2 points to l 116 1-2, declined to 113 34 and closed | unchanged at 115.
