However. Baker has never MADE 'ne

GRAB BAG WON
BY CRANK FROM
A FAST FIELD
Ross Entry Beats Deer
Trap, Tom McTaggart
and Nine Others.

Saratoga, Aug. 16.-Crank. two
year-old gelding that began his racing
during the Maryland season last spring,
was winner of the Grab Bag Handicap
this afternoon, beating home August
Belmont's Deer Trap, the Brighton
Stables Tom McTaggart and nine
others. Crank raced for Samuel Ross,
the Washington sportsman, and while
he was considered a useful sort he was
generally thought to be bit over his
head, even though he was one of the
lightweights of the company.
The start in the Grab Bag had di-
rect bearing on the finish. Crank was
away running. while Tom McTaggart
left in n tangle and had TO close big
gap. Then through the stretch, when
LOTUS tried to come through on the
rail with McTaggart, he was blocked by
Deer Trap.
The Greentree Stable won two races
when Gamer was first in a mile and a
furlong handicap and Huhbub was WIN
ner of a mile that was framed for the
maidens.
Trainer Mccormack was not satisfied
when j. S. Wards Dodge beat James
Buffers Spur in the Champlain Handi-
cap yesterday, and he felt confident
that the son of King James with bet
ter luck would have been the winner;
This induced j. S. Ward, the owner OF
Dodge, TO offer to run the race over
again for $4,000 a side. OF course
u der the rules of the Jockey Club
match races are barred, but specials
have from time to time been arranged
TO satisfy just such conditions. Tram
err Mccormack did not make a definite
answer to the proposition. but 1t is UP
10 Mr.. Butler if he wants another
chance at the Western crack under the
conditions proposed by Mr.. Ward.

DUNDEE'S NEW BLOW
SEEMS TO BE USEFUL

Johnny Dundee has made good with
his new punch the very first start
since he discovered it in a practice
bout. Tuesday night in Boston he
stopped Young 0'Leary. This appears
all the more remarkable, as only one
knockout appears in Dundee's long
record since 1913 until he toppled
O'Leary.
Several weeks ago Manager Scotty
Monteith said Johnny had a surprise
in store for Joe yelling. Then the
Welling-Dundee bout was postponed
until August 80, in Madison Square
Garden, and Johnny took on OLeary
TO try the punch before the yelling
battle. Dundee, with knockout blow,
il some one to worry about.

both men covered during the match,
but IL is safe TO say they covered a
great amount of ground.
Mclaughlin Not Present.
Maurice Mclaughlin, Comet of the
Coast. failed to show up, being busy
in the elimination doubles in Chicago,
and was defaulted, Carey Morgan
gaining the bracket and he in turn de-
faulted to Douglass Waters. of New
Orleans. who has so far played only
one match.
Clarence ]. Griffin. one of the two
Californians remaining in the tourney,
vanouished the tall G. Colket Gamer,
of Harvard, by the score of 3-6. 6-3,
"a. 6-l, and tomorrow will once
more try the issue with Williams.
Griffin's easy style of play is deceiv-
ing. but splendid accuracy in place
ment is feature of his game and
il has upset many opponents before
this. 1t was Griffin who conquered
Williams at Longwood recently, so
the match tomorrow will carry q
large gallery.
Williams and Roberts were given
the theatre building court for their
match, which started at 10:30 o'clock.
half an hour before Johnston and
Harte began their struggle on the
grand stand turf. Eddie Conlin. cham
pion lawn tennis umpire. mounted the
chair and the men went at the game
with a rush. Roberts began the ser
vice, ripping the ball over into Will
Jams court with wonderful speed and
winning the game at love, with the
former national champion hardly get
ting his racquet into play. But Will
Jams. in turn, won on his own service
at love, Roberts sending his returns
into the net.
Williams is always slow to start and
before the gallery realized it, the
slender Californian had lead of
TO ! on games. breaking through his
opponents service in the fourth game.
Roberts continued to rush along at
unrivalled speed. cannonading his
forehand drives through Williams
court so fast that the latter was
caught out of position many times.
The Philadelphia managed to take
the fifth and eighth games before
Roberts won the first set at 6-3.
